DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION



ENGINE WARNING LAMP (CHECK ENGINE LAMP)



If an abnormality occurs in any of the following items related to the Multipoint Fuel Injection (MPI) system, the engine warning lamp will illuminate.
If the lamp remains illuminated or if the lamp illuminates while the engine is running, check the diagnosis code output.

METHOD OF READING AND ERASING DIAGNOSIS CODES


Refer to , GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points.

DIAGNOSIS USING DIAGNOSIS 2 MODE



  1. Switch the diagnosis mode of the engine control unit to DIAGNOSIS 2 mode using the M.U.T.-III.
  2. Carry out a road test.
  3. Take a reading of the diagnosis code and repair the problem location.
  4. Turn the ignition switch to OFF and then back to ON again.
    note By turning the ignition switch to OFF, the engine-A/T-ECU will switch the diagnosis mode from DIAGNOSIS 2 mode to DIAGNOSIS 1 mode.
  5. Erase the diagnosis codes.

INSPECTION USING M.U.T.-III DATA LIST AND ACTUATOR TESTING


1.Carry out inspection by means of the data list and the actuator test function, if there is an abnormality, check and repair the chassis harness and components.
2.After repairing, re-check using the M.U.T.-III and check that the abnormal input and output have returned to normal as a result of the repairs.
3.Erase the diagnosis code memory.
4.Remove the M.U.T.-III, and then start the engine again and carry out a road test to confirm that the problem has disappeared.

FREEZE FRAME DATA


When the engine-A/T-ECU detects a malfunction and stores a diagnosis code, it also stores a current status of the engine. This function is called "Freeze frame data". By analyzing this "Freeze frame" data with the M.U.T.-III, an effective troubleshooting can be performed.
The display items of freeze frame data are shown below.

FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION REFERENCE TABLE


When the main sensor malfunctions are detected by the diagnosis function, the vehicle is controlled by means of the pre-set control logic to maintain safe conditions for driving.
Malfunctioning item
Control contents during malfunction
Intake air temperature sensor
Controls as if the intake air temperature is 25°C.
Barometric pressure sensor
Controls as if the barometric pressure is 101 kPa.
Throttle position sensor (main)

  • Controls the throttle valve position through the use of the throttle position sensor (sub) signal.
  • Renders the amount of accelerator pedal travel as being approximately one-half the normal opening angle.
  • Prohibits the operation of the engine speed feedback control.
  • Cuts off fuel when the engine speed exceeds 3,000 r/min.
  • Suppresses the engine output by stopping the electronic-controlled throttle valve system if the throttle position sensor (sub) is also malfunctioning.

Throttle position sensor (sub)

  • Controls the throttle valve position through the use of the throttle position sensor (main) signal.
  • Renders the amount of accelerator pedal travel as being approximately one-half the normal opening angle.
  • Cuts off fuel when the engine speed exceeds 3,000 r/min.
  • Suppresses the engine output by stopping the electronic-controlled throttle valve system if the throttle position sensor (main) is also malfunctioning.

Accelerator pedal position sensor (main)

  • Detects the amount of the accelerator pedal travel through the use of the accelerator pedal position sensor (sub) signal, but rendering it only as being approximately one-half the normal opening angle.
  • Cuts off fuel when the engine speed exceeds 3,000 r/min.
  • Suppresses the engine output by stopping the electronic-controlled throttle valve system if the accelerator pedal position sensor (sub) is also malfunctioning.

Accelerator pedal position sensor (sub)

  • Detects the amount of the accelerator pedal travel through the use of the accelerator pedal position sensor (main) signal, but rendering it only as being approximately one-half the normal opening angle.
  • Cuts off fuel when the engine speed exceeds 3,000 r/min.
  • Suppresses the engine output by stopping the electronic-controlled throttle valve system if the accelerator pedal position sensor (main) is also malfunctioning.

Engine coolant temperature sensor
Controls as if the engine coolant temperature is 80°C. (This control will be continued until the ignition switch is turned to the "LOCK" (OFF) position even though the sensor signal returns to normal.)
Camshaft position sensor

  • The control condition before the fail is determined is continued.
  • After 4 seconds pass from when the malfunction is detected, the fuel is shut off. (After the ignition switch is turned to ON position, the No.1 cylinder top dead center is no detected at all.)

Detonation sensor
The ignition timing is set having enough time against knocking.
Ignition coil (incorporating power transistor)
Cuts off the fuel supply to cylinders with an abnormal ignition.
Alternator FR terminal
Does not control the output of the alternator according to an electrical load. (works as a normal alternator)
Throttle valve position feedback

  • Suppresses the engine output by stopping the electronic-controlled throttle valve system.

Throttle valve control servo

  • Suppresses the engine output by stopping the electronic-controlled throttle valve system.

Throttle valve control microcomputer

  • Suppresses the engine output by stopping the electronic-controlled throttle valve system.

Communication between throttle valve control microcomputer and engine control microcomputer

  • Renders the amount of accelerator pedal travel as being approximately one-half the normal opening angle.
  • Cuts off fuel when the engine speed exceeds 3,000 r/min.
