Intermittent Failures

The term "intermittent failure" means a system may have had a failure, but it checks OK now. If the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the dash does not come on, check for poor connections or loose terminals at all connectors related to the circuit that you are troubleshooting. If the MIL was on but then went out, the original problem may have been intermittent.

Opens and Shorts

"Open" and "short" are common electrical terms. An open is a break in a wire or at a connection. A short is an accidental connection of a wire to ground or to another wire. In simple electronics, this usually means something won't work at all. With complex electronics (such as ECMs or PCMs) this can sometimes mean something works, but not the way it's supposed to.

  1. Start the engine, and check the MIL (A). NOTE: If the ignition switch is turned ON (II), and the engine is not started, the MIL stays on for 15-20 seconds (see «MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) INDICATION (IN RELATION TO READINESS CODES)»(ref-290833-S28642962272008072200000) ).
  2. If the MIL stays on, connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver's side of the dashboard.
  3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
  4. Make sure the HDS communicates with the ECM/PCM and other vehicle system. If it doesn't go to «DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING»(ref-355245-S06359967292010012100000) .
  5. Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and note it. Also check the freeze data and/or on-board snapshot data, and download any data found. Then refer to the indicated «DTC'S TROUBLESHOOTING»(ref-290833-S36420947092008072200000) , and begin the appropriate troubleshooting procedure. NOTE: Freeze data indicates the engine conditions when the first malfunction, misfire, or fuel trim malfunction was detected. The HDS can read the DTC, freeze data, on-board snapshot, current data, and other engine control module (ECM) or powertrain control module (PCM) data. For specific operations, refer to the user's manual that came with the HDS.
  6. If no DTCs are found, go to «MIL CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING»(ref-355245-S27750421902010012100000) .

If the MIL Did Not Stay On

If the MIL did not stay on but there is a driveability problem, do the symptom troubleshooting.

HDS Clear Command

The ECM/PCM stores various specific data to correct the system even if there is no electrical power such as when the battery negative terminal or No. 6 Fl ECU (15 A) fuse are disconnected. Stored data based on failed parts should be cleared by using the "CLEAR COMMAND" of the HDS, if parts are replaced.

The HDS has three kinds of clear commands to meet this purpose. They are DTC clear, ECM/PCM reset, and crank (CKP) pattern clear. DTC clear command erases all stored DTC codes, freeze data, on-board snapshot, and readiness codes. This must be done with the HDS after reproducing the DTC during troubleshooting. The ECM/PCM reset command erases all stored DTC codes, freeze data, on-board snapshot, readiness codes, and all specific data to correct the system except crank (CKP) pattern. If the crank (CKP) pattern data in the ECM/PCM was cleared, you must do the crank (CKP) pattern learn procedure. The crank (CKP) pattern clear command erases only crank (CKP) pattern data. This command is for repair of a misfire or the CKP sensor.

Learn Procedure (Without the HDS)

  1. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on.
  2. Test-drive the vehicle on a level road: Decelerate (with the throttle fully closed) from an engine speed of 2,500 rpm down to 1,000 rpm with the A/T in 2 position, or M/T in 1st gear.
  3. Repeat step 2 several times.
  4. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and wait 30 seconds. The crank (CKP) pattern learn procedure is complete.

OBD Status

The OBD status shows the current system status of each DTC and all of the parameters. This function is used to see if the repair was successfully completed. The results of diagnostic tests for the DTC are displayed as

  1. PASSED: The on board diagnosis is successfully finished.
  2. FAILED: The on board diagnosis has finished but failed.
  3. EXECUTING: The vehicle is in enable criteria conditions for the DTC and the on board diagnosis is running.
  4. NOT COMPLETED: The on board diagnosis was running but is out of the enable conditions of the DTC.
  5. OUT OF CONDITION: The vehicle has stayed out of the enable conditions for the DTC.

Electronic Control System

The functions of the fuel and emission control systems are managed by the engine control module (ECM) on vehicles with manual transmissions or the powertrain control module (PCM) on vehicles with automatic transmissions.

Fail-safe Function

When an abnormality occurs in the signal from a sensor or another control unit, the ECM/PCM ignores that signal and substitutes a pre-programmed value that allows the engine to continue running. This causes a DTC to be stored and the MIL to come on.

MIL Bulb Check and Readiness Code Condition

When the ignition switch is turned ON (II), the ECM/PCM supplies ground to the MIL circuit for about 15 to 20 seconds to check the bulb condition. If any readiness codes are not set to complete, the MIL flashes five times. If all readiness codes are set to complete, the MIL goes off.

Self Shut Down (SSD) Mode

After the ignition switch is turned OFF, the ECM/PCM stays on (up to 25 minutes). If the ECM/PCM connector is disconnected during this time, the ECM/PCM may be damaged. To cancel this mode, disconnect the negative cable from the battery or jump the SCS line with the HDS after the ignition switch is turned OFF.

ECM/PCM CONNECTOR E REFERENCE TABLE

PGM-FI System

The programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI) system is a sequential multiport fuel injection system.

Air Conditioning (A/C) Compressor Clutch Relay

When the ECM/PCM receives a demand for cooling from the A/C system, it delays the compressor from being energized, and enriches the mixture to assure smooth transition to the A/C mode.

Air Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor

The A/F sensor operates over a wide air/fuel range. The A/F sensor is installed upstream of the three way catalytic converter (TWO. It sends signals to the ECM/PCM which varies the duration of fuel injection accordingly.

Scheme 55

Scheme 55: Air Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor

Barometric Pressure (BARO) Sensor

The BARO sensor is inside the ECM/PCM. It converts atmospheric pressure into a voltage signal that modifies the basic duration of the fuel injection discharge.

Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor B

CMP sensor B detects the position of the No. 1 cylinder as a reference for sequential fuel injection to each cylinder.

Scheme 56

Scheme 56: Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor B

Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor

The CKP sensor detects crankshaft speed and is used by the ECM/PCM to determine ignition timing and timing for fuel injection of each cylinder as well as detecting engine misfire.

Scheme 57

Scheme 57: Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensors 1 and 2

ECT sensors 1 and 2 are temperature dependent resistors (thermistors). The resistance decreases as the engine coolant temperature increases.

Scheme 58

Scheme 58: Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensors 1 and 2

Ignition Timing Control

The ECM/PCM contains the memory for basic ignition timing at various engine speeds and manifold absolute pressures. It also adjusts the timing according to engine coolant temperature and intake air temperature.

Injector Timing and Duration

The ECM/PCM contains the memory for basic discharge duration at various engine speeds and manifold pressures. The basic discharge duration, after being read out from the memory, is further modified by signals sent from various sensors to obtain the final discharge duration.

By monitoring long term fuel trim, the ECM/PCM detects long term malfunctions in the fuel system and sets a diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Knock Sensor

The knock sensor adjusts the ignition timing to minimize knock.

Scheme 59

Scheme 59: Knock Sensor

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Indication (In relation to Readiness Codes)

The vehicle has certain "readiness codes" that are part of the on-board diagnostics for the emissions systems. If the vehicle's battery has been disconnected or gone dead, if the DTCs have been cleared, or if the ECM/PCM has been reset, these codes are reset. In some states, part of the emissions testing is to make sure these codes are set to complete. If all of them are not set to complete, the vehicle may fail the test, or the test cannot be finished.

To check if the readiness codes are set to complete, turn the ignition switch ON (II), but do not start the engine. The MIL will come on for 15-20 seconds. If it then goes off, the readiness codes are complete. If it flashes five times, one or more readiness codes are not complete. To set each code, drive the vehicle or run the engine as described in the procedures (see HOW TO SET READINESS CODES ).

Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor

The MAP sensor converts manifold absolute pressure into electrical signals to the ECM/PCM.

Scheme 60

Scheme 60: Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor

Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor/Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor

The mass airflow (MAF) sensor/intake air temperature (IAT) sensor contains a hot wire and a thermistor. It is located in the intake air passage. The resistance of the hot wire and thermistor change due to intake air temperature and air flow. The control circuit in the MAF sensor controls the current to keep the hot wire at a set temperature. The current is converted to voltage in the control circuit, then output to the ECM/PCM.

Scheme 61

Scheme 61: Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor/Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor

Output Shaft (Countershaft) Speed Sensor

This sensor detects output shaft (countershaft) speed.

Scheme 62

Scheme 62: Output Shaft (Countershaft) Speed Sensor

Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Secondary HO2S)

The secondary HO2S detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas downstream of the three way catalytic converter (TWC), and sends signals to the ECM/PCM which varies the duration of fuel injection accordingly. To stabilize its output, the sensor has an internal heater. The ECM/PCM compares the HO2S output with the A/F sensor output to determine catalyst efficiency. The secondary HO2S is located on the TWC.

Scheme 63

Scheme 63: Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Secondary HO2S)

Electronic Throttle Control System

The throttle is electronically controlled by the electronic throttle control system. Refer to SYSTEM DIAGRAM to see a functional layout of the system.

Idle control: When the engine is idling, the ECM/PCM controls the throttle actuator to maintain the proper idle speed according to engine loads.

Acceleration control: When the accelerator pedal is pressed, the ECM/PCM opens the throttle valve depending on the accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor signal.

Cruise control: The ECM/PCM controls the throttle actuator to maintain set speed when the cruise control is operating. The throttle actuator takes the place of the cruise control actuator.

Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor

As the accelerator pedal position changes, the sensor varies the signal voltage to the ECM/PCM.

Scheme 64

Scheme 64: Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor

Throttle Body

The throttle body is a single-barrel side draft type. The lower portion of the throttle valve is heated by engine coolant from the cylinder head to prevent icing of the throttle plate.

Scheme 65

Scheme 65: Throttle Body

Scheme 66

Scheme 66: i-VTEC
  1. The i-VTEC has a VTC (variable valve timing control) mechanism on the intake camshaft in addition to the usual VTEC. This mechanism improves fuel efficiency and reduces exhaust emissions at all levels of engine speed, vehicle speed, and engine load.
  2. The VTEC mechanism changes the valve lift and timing by using more than one cam profile.
  3. The VTC changes the phase of the intake camshaft via oil pressure. It changes the intake valve timing continuously.

Scheme 67

Scheme 67: VTC System
  1. The VTC system makes continuous intake valve timing changes based on operating conditions.
  2. Intake valve timing is optimized to allow the engine to produce maximum power.
  3. Cam angle is advanced to obtain the EGR effect and reduce pumping loss. The intake valve is closed quickly to reduce the entry of the air/fuel mixture into the intake port and improve the charging effect.
  4. The system reduces the cam advance at idle, stabilizes combustion, and reduces engine speed.
  5. If a malfunction occurs, the VTC system control is disabled, and the valve timing is fixed at the fully retarded position.

Scheme 68

Scheme 68: VTEC System
  1. The VTEC system changes the cam profile to correspond to the engine speed. It maximizes torque at low engine speed and output at high engine speed.
  2. The low lift cam is used at low engine speeds, and the high lift cam is used at high engine speeds.

Idle Control System

When the engine is cold, the A/C compressor is on, the transmission is in gear, the brake pedal is pressed, the power steering load is high, or the alternator is charging, the ECM/PCM controls the throttle position to maintain the correct idle speed. Refer to SYSTEM DIAGRAM to see a functional layout of the system.

Brake Pedal Position Switch

The brake pedal position switch signals the ECM/PCM when the brake pedal is pressed.

Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch

The PSP switch signals the ECM/PCM when the power steering load is high.

Fuel Cutoff Control

During deceleration with the throttle valve closed, current to the injectors is cut off to improve fuel economy at engine speeds over 1,000 rpm. Fuel cutoff control also occurs when the engine speed exceeds 6,700 rpm, regardless of the position of the throttle valve, to protect the engine from over-revving. When the vehicle is stopped, the ECM/PCM cuts the fuel at engine speeds over 5,000 rpm (M/T: 6,700 rpm). Fuel cutoff rpm is lower on a cold engine.

Fuel Pump Control

When the ignition is turned on, the ECM/PCM grounds PGM-FI main relay 2 (FUEL PUMP) which feeds current to the fuel pump for 2 seconds to pressurize the fuel system. With the engine running, the ECM/PCM grounds PGM-FI main relay 2 (FUEL PUMP) and feeds current to the fuel pump. When the engine is not running and the ignition is on, the ECM/PCM cuts ground to PGM-FI main relay 2 (FUEL PUMP) which cuts current to the fuel pump.

PGM-FI Main Relay l and 2

PGM-FI main relay 1 (Fl MAIN) is energized whenever the ignition switch is ON (II) to supply battery voltage to the ECM/PCM, power to the injectors, and power for PGM-FI main relay 2 (FUEL PUMP). PGM-FI main relay 2 (FUEL PUMP) is energized to supply power to the fuel pump for 2 seconds when the ignition switch is turned ON (II), and when the engine is cranking or running.

Intake Air System

The system supplies air for engine needs.

Intake Air Bypass Control Thermal Valve

When the engine is cold, the intake air bypass control thermal valve sends air to the injector.

The amount of air is regulated by engine coolant temperature. Once the engine is hot, the intake air bypass control thermal valve closes, stopping air to the injector.

Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC)

The TWC converts hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the exhaust gas to carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), nitrogen (N 2 ), and water vapor.

Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) System

The PCV valve prevents blow-by gasses from escaping into the atmosphere by venting them into the intake manifold.

Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control System

Refer to SYSTEM DIAGRAM to see a functional layout of the system.

EVAP Canister

The EVAP canister temporarily stores fuel vapor from the fuel tank until it can be purged from the EVAP canister into the engine and burned.

EVAP Canister Purge Valve

When the engine coolant temperature is below 131°F (55°C), the ECM/PCM turns off the EVAP canister purge valve which cuts vacuum to the EVAP canister.

Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) Sensor

The FTP sensor converts fuel tank absolute pressure into an electrical input to the ECM/PCM.

EVAP Canister Vent Shut Valve

The EVAP canister vent shut valve is on the EVAP canister.

This valve controls the venting of the EVAP canister.

Fuel Cap Warning Message

The ECM/PCM will detect a loose or missing fuel fill cap as an evaporative system leak and alerts the driver by showing a warning message in the odo/trip meter display.

First Drive Cycle

The first time a leak is detected a "CHECK FUEL CAP" message in the odo/trip meter display (A). To scroll to another message, press the select/reset button. The "CHECK FUEL CAP" message will appear each time you restart the engine unit the system turns the message off. Turn the engine off, then replace or tighten the fuel fill cap until it clicks at least once. The message should go off after several days of normal driving after the fuel fill cap has been tightened or replaced.

Scheme 76

Scheme 76: First Drive Cycle

Procedure

  1. Tighten the fuel fill cap until it clicks.
  2. Clear the Temporary DTC with the HDS.
  3. Verify there is no leak by doing the EVAP FUNCTION TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.
  1. Tighten the fuel fill cap until it clicks.
  2. Start the engine, then turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  3. Repeat step 2 two more times.

Electronic Throttle Control System Diagram

The electronic throttle control system consists of the throttle actuator, throttle position (TP) sensor A/B, accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor A/B, throttle actuator control module, throttle actuator control module relay, and the ECM/PCM.

Scheme 77: Electronic Throttle Control System Diagram

Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control Diagram

The EVAP controls minimize the amount of fuel vapor escaping to the atmosphere. Vapor from the fuel tank is temporarily stored in the EVAP canister until it can be purged from the canister into the engine and burned.

The EVAP canister is purged by drawing fresh air through it and into a port on the intake manifold.

The purging vacuum is controlled by the EVAP canister purge valve, which operates whenever the engine coolant temperature is above 131°F (55°C).

The vehicle has certain "readiness codes" that are part of the on-board diagnostics for the emissions systems. If the vehicle's battery has been disconnected or gone dead, if the DTCs have been cleared, or if the ECM/PCM has been reset, these readiness codes are reset to incomplete. In some states, part of the emissions testing is to make sure these codes are set to complete. If all of them are not set to complete, the vehicle may fail the emission test, or the test cannot be finished.

To check if the readiness codes are set to complete, turn the ignition switch ON (II), but do not start the engine. The MIL will come on for 15-20 seconds. If it then goes off, the readiness codes are set to complete. If it flashes five times, one or more readiness codes are not set to complete. To set readiness codes from incomplete to complete, do the procedure for the appropriate code.

To check the status of a specific DTC system, check the OBD status in the DTC MENU with the HDS (see OBD STATUS ). This screen displays the code, the current data list of the enable criteria, and the status of the readiness testing.

Catalytic Converter Monitor and Readiness Code

Note. Do not turn the ignition switch off during the procedure. All readiness codes are cleared when the battery is disconnected, if the DTCs have been cleared, or if the ECM/PCM is reset with the HDS. Low ambient temperatures or excessive stop-and-go traffic may increase the drive time needed to switch the readiness code from incomplete to complete. The readiness code will not switch to complete until all the enable criteria are met. If a fault in the secondary HO2S system caused the MIL to come on, the readiness code cannot be set to complete until you correct the fault.

Enable Criteria

  1. ECT SENSOR 1 at 158°F (70°C) or more.
  2. Intake air temperature (IAT) at 20°F (-7°C) or more.
  3. Vehicle speed sensor (VSS) above 25 mph (40 km/h).
  1. Connect the HDS to the vehicle's data link connector (DLC), and bring up the READINESS CODEs screen for Catalyst in the DTCs MENU.
  2. Start the engine.
  3. Test-drive the vehicle under stop-and-go conditions with short periods of steady cruise. After about 5 miles (8 km), the readiness code should switch to complete.
  4. If the readiness code is still not set to complete, check for a Temporary DTC with the HDS. If there is no DTC, one or more of the enable criteria were probably not met; repeat the procedure.

Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control System Monitor and Readiness Code

Note. All readiness codes are cleared when the battery is disconnected, if the DTCs have been cleared, or if the ECM/PCM is reset with the HDS.

  1. Battery voltage is more than 10.5 V.
  2. Engine at idle.
  3. ECT sensor 1 and 2 between 176°F (80°C) and 212°F (100°C).
  4. MAP sensor less than 46.6 kPa (14 in.Hg, 350 mmHg).
  5. Vehicle speed 0 mph (0 km/h).
  6. IAT sensor between 32°F (0°C) and 212°F (100°C).
  1. Connect the HDS to the DLC.
  2. Start the engine.
  3. Select EVAP TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS, then select the FUNCTION TEST in the EVAP TEST MENU. If the result is normal, readiness is complete. If the result is not normal, go to the next step.
  4. Check for a Temporary DTC. If there is no DTC, one or more of the enable criteria were probably not met; repeat the procedure.

Air Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor Monitor and Readiness Code

Note. Do not turn the ignition switch off during the procedure. All readiness codes are cleared when the battery is disconnected, if the DTCs have been cleared, or if the ECM/PCM is reset with the HDS.

ECT SENSOR 1 at 140°F (60°C) or more.

  1. Start the engine.
  2. Test-drive the vehicle under stop-and-go conditions with short periods of steady cruise. During the drive, decelerate (with the throttle fully closed) for 5 seconds. After about 3.5 miles (5.6 km), the readiness code should switch from incomplete to complete.
  3. Check the readiness codes screen for the AIR FUEL RATIO (A/F) SENSOR in the DTCs MENU with the HDS. If the screen shows complete, readiness is complete. If the screen shows not complete, go to the next step.
  4. Check for a Temporary DTC. If there is no DTC, the enable criteria was probably not met. Select the DATA LIST MENU. Check the ECT in the ALL DATA LIST with the HDS. If the ECT is less than 140°F (60°C), run the engine until it is more than 140°F (60°C), then repeat the procedure.

Air Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor Heater Monitor Readiness Code

Note. All readiness codes are cleared when the battery is disconnected, if the DTCs have been cleared, or if the ECM/PCM is reset with the HDS.

  1. Start the engine, and let it idle for 1 minute. The readiness code should switch from incomplete to complete.
  2. If the readiness code is still not set to complete, check for a Temporary DTC. If there is no DTC, repeat the procedure.

Misfire Monitor and Readiness Code

  1. This readiness code is always set to available because misfiring is continuously monitored.
  2. Monitoring pauses, and the misfire counter resets, if the vehicle is driven over a rough road.
  3. Monitoring also pauses, and the misfire counter holds at its current value, if the throttle position changes more than a predetermined value, or if driving conditions fall outside the range of any related enable criteria.

Fuel System Monitor and Readiness Code

  1. This readiness code is always set to available because the fuel system is continuously monitored during closed loop operation.
  2. Monitoring pauses when the catalytic converter; EVAP control system, and A/F sensor monitors are active.
  3. Monitoring also pauses when any related enable criteria are not being met. Monitoring resumes when the enable criteria is again being met.

Comprehensive Component Monitor and Readiness Code

This readiness code is always set to available because the comprehensive component monitor is continuously running whenever the engine is cranking or running.
