METHOD OF READING AND ERASING DIAGNOSIS

CODES
Refer to GROUP 00 How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection
Service Points.
INSPECTION USING MUT-II DATA LIST AND
ACTUATOR TESTING
1. Carry out inspection by connecting the MUT-II.
If there is an abnormality, check and repair the chassis
harnesses and components.
2. After repairing, 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 MUT-II and carry out a road test to confirm
that the problem has disappeared.

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
Air flow sensor
1.
2.
Uses the throttle position sensor signal and engine speed signal (crank angle sensor
signal) to take reading of the basic injector drive time and basic ignition timing from
the pre-set mapping.
Fixes the ISC servo in the appointed position so idle control is not performed.
Intake air temperature

sensor
Controls as if the intake air temperature is 25_C.
Throttle position
sensor
No increase in fuel injection amount during acceleration due to the throttle position sensor
signal.
Engine coolant
temperature sensor
1.
2.
Controls as if the engine coolant temperature is 80_C.

(This condition is maintained until the ignition switch is turned off even when the
sensor signal returns normal.)
Lets the fan motor (radiator and condenser) run at high speed.
Camshaft position
sensor
Injects fuel to all cylinders simultaneously for 4 seconds.

(However, after the ignition switch is turned to ON, the No. 1 cylinder top dead centre is not
detected at all.)
Barometric pressure
sensor
Controls as if the barometric pressure is 101 kPa.
Detonation sensor
Switches the ignition timing from ignition timing for super petrol to ignition timing for standard
petrol.
Ignition coil,
transistor unit
Cuts off the fuel supply to cylinders with an abnormal ignition.

PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE (FOR YOUR INFORMATION)
Items
Symptom
Starting
Idling
stability
Driving
Stopping
Wont start
The starter is used to crank the engine, but there is no combustion within the
cylinders, and the engine wont start.
Fires up and dies
There is combustion within the cylinders, but then the engine soon stalls.
Hard starting
Engine starts after cranking a while.
Hunting
Engine speed doesnt remain constant; changes at idle.
Rough idle
Usually, a judgement can be based upon the movement of the tachometer

pointer, and the vibration transmitted to the steering wheel, shift lever, body, etc.
This is called rough idle.
Incorrect idle speed
The engine doesnt idle at the usual correct speed.
Engine stall
(Die out)
The engine stalls when the foot is taken from the accelerator pedal, regardless
of whether the vehicles is moving or not.
Engine stall
(Pass out)
The engine stalls when the accelerator pedal is depressed or while it is being
used.
Hesitation, Sag
Hesitation is the delay in response of the vehicle speed (engine speed) that
occurs when the accelerator is depressed in order to accelerate from the speed
at which the vehicle is now traveling, or a temporary drop in vehicle speed
(engine speed) during such acceleration. Serious hesitation is called sag.
(Refer to Figure 1.)
Poor acceleration
Poor acceleration is inability to obtain an acceleration corresponding to the

degree of throttle opening, even though acceleration is smooth, or the inability
to reach maximum speed.
Stumble
Engine speed increase is delayed when the accelerator pedal is initially

depressed for acceleration. (Refer to Figure 2.)
Shock
The feeling of a comparatively large impact or vibration when the engine is

accelerated or decelerated.
Surge
This is repeated surging ahead during constant speed travel or during variable
speed travel.
Knocking
A sharp sound like a hammer striking the cylinder walls during driving and which
adversely affects driving.
Run on
(Dieseling)
The condition in which the engine continues to run after the ignition switch is
turned to OFF. Also called Dieseling.

For checking for burnt-out bulb, the engine-ECU causes the engine warning lamp
to illuminate for five seconds immediately after the ignition switch is turned to ON.
If the engine warning lamp does not illuminate immediately after the ignition switch
is turned to ON, one of the malfunctions listed at right has probably occurred.
