DEFINITION OF TERMS [05/2013 - ]

TermDefinition
Monitor DescriptionDescription of what the ECM monitors and how it detects malfunctions (monitoring purpose and details).
Related DTCsGroup of diagnostic trouble codes stored by the ECM based on the same malfunction detection logic.
Typical Enabling ConditionsPreconditions that allow the ECM to detect malfunctions. With all preconditions satisfied, the ECM stores a DTC when monitored values exceed the malfunction thresholds.
Sequence of OperationOrder of monitor priority. Applied if multiple sensors and components are involved in a single malfunction detection process. Each sensor and component is monitored in turn when the previous detection operation is completed.
Required Sensor/ComponentsSensors and components used by the ECM to detect each malfunction.
Frequency of OperationNumber of times the ECM checks for each malfunction during each driving cycle. "Once per driving cycle" means the ECM only performs checks for that malfunction once during a single driving cycle. "Continuous" means the ECM performs checks for that malfunction whenever the enabling conditions are met.
DurationMinimum time for which the ECM must detect a continuous deviation in monitored values in order to store a DTC. Timing begins when the Typical Enabling Conditions are met.
Malfunction ThresholdsBeyond this value, the ECM will conclude that there is a malfunction and store a DTC.
MIL OperationTiming of MIL illumination after a malfunction is detected. "Immediate" means the ECM illuminates the MIL as soon as a malfunction is detected. "2 driving cycles" means the ECM illuminates the MIL if the same malfunction is detected a second time during the next sequential driving cycle.

If knocking occurs, drive the vehicle until knocking stops.

CHECKING MONITOR STATUS [05/2013 - 01/2014]

The purpose of the monitor result (mode 06) is to allow access to the results of on-board diagnostic monitoring tests of specific components/systems that are not continuously monitored. Examples are catalysts and evaporative emissions (EVAP) systems.

The monitor result allows the OBD II scan tool to display the monitor status, test value, minimum test limit and maximum test limit. These data are displayed after the vehicle has been driven to run the monitor.

When the test value is not between the minimum and maximum test limits, the ECM (PCM) interprets this as a malfunction. If the test value is on the borderline of the test limits, the component is likely to malfunction in the near future.

Perform the following procedures to view the monitor status. Although these procedures refer to the Lexus/Toyota Techstream, the monitor status can be checked using a generic OBD II scan tool. Refer to your scan tool operator's manual for specific procedural information.

  1. PERFORM MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Turn the Techstream on. Clear the DTCs. Refer to «DTC CHECK / CLEAR [05/2013 - 01/2014]»(ref-615120-S02653872462014050900000) . Operate the vehicle in accordance with the applicable driving pattern described in Readiness Monitor Drive Pattern. Refer to «READINESS MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN [05/2013 - 01/2014]»(ref-615120-S10458753212014050900000) . Do not turn the ignition switch off. HINT: The test results will be lost if the ignition switch is turned off.
  2. ACCESS MONITOR RESULT Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Monitor / Current Monitor / Result. Confirm the monitor status for each component. HINT: The monitor status for each component is displayed in the Result column. Pass: The component is functioning normally. Fail: The component is malfunctioning. Display the test results and test value for a monitor by selecting the icon in the Details column for that monitor.
  3. CHECK COMPONENT STATUS Compare the test value with the minimum test limit (Min Limit) and maximum test limit (Max Limit). If the test value is between the minimum and maximum test limits, the component is functioning normally. If not, the component is malfunctioning. The test value is usually not near the test limits. If the test value is on the borderline of the test limits, the component is likely to malfunction in the near future. HINT: The monitor result might on rare occasions be Pass even if the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is illuminated. This indicates the system malfunctioned on a previous driving cycle. This might be caused by an intermittent problem.
  4. MONITOR RESULT INFORMATION When using a generic scan tool, multiply the test value by the scaling value. For more details, refer to Monitor Result for each DTC.

READINESS MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN [05/2013 - 01/2014]

  1. PURPOSE OF READINESS TESTS The On-Board Diagnostic (OBD II) system is designed to monitor the performance of emissions-related components and indicate any detected abnormalities using DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes). Since various components need to be monitored during different driving conditions, the OBD II system is designed to run separate monitoring programs called Readiness Monitors. To view the monitor status, enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Monitor / Current Monitor / Current. When the Readiness Monitor status reads "complete", the necessary conditions have been met for running the performance tests for that Readiness Monitor. A generic OBD II scan tool can also be used to view the Readiness Monitor status. HINT: Many state Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) programs require a vehicle's Readiness Monitor status to show "complete" before beginning emissions tests. The Readiness Monitor will be reset to "incomplete" if: The ECM has lost battery power or blown a fuse. DTCs have been cleared. If the Readiness Monitor status shows "incomplete", follow the appropriate Readiness Monitor Drive Pattern to change the status to "complete". WARNING: Strictly observe posted speed limits, traffic laws, and pay attention to road conditions when performing these driving patterns. NOTE: These driving patterns represent the fastest method of satisfying all conditions necessary to achieve "complete" status for each specific Readiness Monitor. In the event of a driving pattern being interrupted (possibly due to factors such as traffic conditions), the driving pattern can be resumed. In most cases, the Readiness Monitor will still achieve "complete" status upon completion of the driving pattern. To ensure completion of the Readiness Monitors, avoid sudden changes in vehicle load and speed (driving up and down hills and/or sudden acceleration).

FREEZE FRAME DATA [01/2014 - ]

  1. DESCRIPTION The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was moving or stationary, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions (fuel system information, calculated load, engine coolant temperature, fuel trim, engine speed, vehicle speed, etc.) when a malfunction is detected. HINT: If it is impossible to duplicate the problem even though a DTC is output, check the freeze frame data. The ECM records engine conditions in the form of freeze frame data every 0.5 seconds. Using the Techstream, 5 separate sets of freeze frame data can be checked. 3 data sets from before the DTC was stored 1 data set from when the DTC was stored 1 data set from after the DTC was stored These data sets can be used to simulate the condition of the vehicle from around the time of the occurrence of the malfunction. The data may assist in identifying the cause of the malfunction, and in judging whether it was temporary or not.
  2. PENDING FREEZE FRAME DATA HINT: Pending freeze frame data is stored when a 2 trip DTC is first detected during the first trip. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes. Select a DTC in order to display its pending freeze frame data. HINT: Pending freeze frame data is cleared when any of the following occurs. Using the Techstream, the DTCs cleared. The cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal. 40 trips with the engine fully warmed up have been performed after returning to normal. (Pending freeze frame data will not be cleared by only returning the system to normal.) With previous pending freeze frame data stored, if pending freeze frame data is newly stored when a 2 trip DTC is detected in the first trip, the old freeze frame data will be replaced with the new data of the newly detected DTC in the next trip.
  3. LIST OF FREEZE FRAME DATA Refer to "Data List / Active Test". Refer to «DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [01/2014 - ]»(ref-615234-S30683406662014050900000) .

CHECK MODE PROCEDURE [05/2013 - ]

HINT

Compared to normal mode, check mode is more sensitive to malfunctions. Therefore, check mode can detect malfunctions that may not be detected in normal mode.

Note. All the stored DTCs and freeze frame data are cleared if: 1) the ECM is changed from normal mode to check mode or vice versa; or 2) the ignition switch is turned from ON to ACC or off while in check mode. Before changing modes, always check and note any DTCs and freeze frame data.
