  1. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM Description When troubleshooting On-Board Diagnostic (OBD II) vehicles, the vehicle must be connected to the OBD II scan tool (in compliance with SAE J1978) or the hand-held tester. Various data output from the vehicle's ECM can then be read. OBD II regulations require that the vehicle's on-board computer illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on the instrument panel when the computer detects a malfunction in: 1) the emission control system/components, or 2) the powertrain control components (which affect vehicle emissions), or 3) the computer. In addition, the applicable Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) prescribed by SAE J2012 are recorded in the ECM memory (see «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART»(ref-180979-S19974899352005073000000) ). If the malfunction does not reoccur in 3 consecutive trips, the MIL turns off automatically but the DTCs remain recorded in the ECM memory. To check the DTC, connect the hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool to the Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3) on the vehicle. The hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool also enables you to erase the DTC and check the freeze frame data and various forms of engine data (for operating instructions, see the OBD II scan tool's instruction book). The DTC includes SAE controlled codes and manufacturer controlled codes. SAE controlled codes must be set as prescribed by the SAE, while manufacturer controlled codes can be set freely by a manufacturer within the prescribed limits (see «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART»(ref-180979-S19974899352005073000000) ). The diagnosis system operates in "normal mode" during normal vehicle use. In "normal mode", 2 trip detection logic* is used to ensure accurate detection of malfunctions. A "check mode" is also available to technicians as an option. In "check mode", 1 trip detection logic is used for simulating malfunction symptoms and increasing the system's ability to detect malfunctions, including intermittent malfunctions (hand-held tester only) (see step 5 ). *2 trip detection logic: When a malfunction is first detected, the malfunction is temporarily stored in the ECM memory (1st trip). If the ignition switch is turned OFF and then ON again, and the same malfunction is detected again, the MIL will illuminate (2nd trip). Freeze frame data: The freeze frame data records the engine conditions (fuel system, calculated load, engine coolant temperature, fuel trim, engine speed, vehicle speed, etc.) when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred. Priorities for troubleshooting: When multiple DTCs occur, find out the order in which the DTCs should be inspected by checking the component's DTC chart. If no instructions are written in the DTC chart, check DTCs in the following order of priority: DTCs other than fuel trim malfunction (DTC P0171, P0172) and misfire (DTC P0300 - P0304). Fuel trim malfunction (DTC P0171, P0172). Misfire (DTC P0300 - P0304).
  2. CHECK DLC3 The vehicle's ECM uses the ISO 9141-2 for communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 9141-2 format. TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 7 (Bus + line) - 5 (Signal ground) During communication Pulse generation 4 (Chassis ground) - Body ground Constant Below 1 ohm 5 (Signal ground) - Body ground Constant Below 1 ohm 16 (B+) - Body ground Constant 9 to 14 V HINT: Connect the cable of the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool to the DLC3, turn the ignition switch ON and attempt to use the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. If the screen displays UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE, a problem exists in the vehicle side or the tester side. If the communication is normal when the tool is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 on the original vehicle. If communication is still impossible when the tool is connected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the tool itself, so consult the Service Department listed in the tool's instruction manual.
  3. INSPECT BATTERY VOLTAGE Battery voltage: 11 to 14 V If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge the battery before proceeding.
  4. CHECK MIL The MIL turns on when the ignition switch is turned ON and the engine is not running. HINT: If the MIL is not illuminated, troubleshoot the MIL circuit (see «MIL CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION»(ref-180979-S40851100382005073000000) ). When the engine is started, the MIL should turn off. If the lamp remains on, it means that the diagnosis system has detected a malfunction or abnormality in the system.
  5. DTC CHECK (Normal Mode) NOTE: If there is no DTC in the normal mode, check the pending fault code using the Continuous Test Results function (Mode 7 for SAE J1979) on the OBD II scan tool or the hand-held tester. Hand-held tester only: When the diagnosis system is switched from the normal mode to the check mode, all the DTCs and freeze frame data recorded in the normal mode will be erased. So before switching modes, always check the DTCs and freeze frame data, and then write them down. Checking DTCs using the hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool. Connect the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool to DLC3. Turn the ignition switch ON. Use the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool to check the DTCs and freeze frame data and then write them down. For the hand-held tester, enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES. For the OBD II scan tool, see its instruction manual. See «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART»(ref-180979-S19974899352005073000000) to confirm the details of the DTCs. NOTE: When simulating a symptom with the OBD II scan tool (excluding hand-held tester) to check for DTCs, use the normal mode. For DTCs subject to "2 trip detection logic", perform either of the following actions. Turn the ignition switch OFF after the symptom is simulated once. Then repeat the simulation process again. When the problem has been simulated twice, the MIL lights up and the DTCs are recorded in the ECM. Check the pending fault code using the Continuous Test Results function (Mode 7 for SAE J1979) on the OBD II scan tool. Clearing the DTCs using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Connect the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool to the DLC3. Turn the ignition switch ON. Erase DTCs and freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE J1978). For the hand-held tester: 1) enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CLEAR CODES; and 2) press YES. For the OBD II scan tool, see its instruction manual. Clearing the DTCs without using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Remove the EFI1 fuse from the engine room J/B and ETCS fuse from the engine room R/B for more than 60 seconds. Or, disconnect the battery terminal for more than 60 seconds. After disconnecting the battery terminal, perform the "INITIALIZE" procedure (see «PRE-CHECK»(ref-180980-S41701482092005073000000) in Automatic Transaxle Diagnostics article).
  6. DTC CHECK (Check Mode) HINT: Hand-held tester only: Check mode has a higher sensitivity to detect malfunctions and can detect malfunctions that normal mode cannot detect. Check mode can also detect all the malfunctions that normal mode can detect. Procedure for Check Mode using the hand-held tester. Make sure that the items below are true: Battery positive voltage 11 V or more. Throttle valve fully closed. Transmission in the P or N position. A/C switched OFF. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3. Turn the ignition switch ON. Change the ECM to check mode with the hand-held tester. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / CHECK MODE. Make sure the MIL flashes as shown in the illustration. NOTE: All DTCs and freeze frame data recorded will be erased if: 1) the hand-held tester is used to change the ECM from normal mode to check mode or vice-versa; or 2) during check mode, the ignition switch is turned from ON to ACC or OFF. Start the engine. The MIL should turn off after the engine starts. Simulate the conditions of the malfunction described by the customer. After simulating the malfunction conditions, use the hand-held tester diagnosis selector to check the DTC, freeze frame data and other data. After checking the DTC, inspect the applicable circuit. Clearing the DTCs using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Connect the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool to the DLC3. Turn the ignition switch ON. Erase DTCs and freeze frame data with the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE J1978) For the hand-held tester: 1) enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CLEAR CODES; and 2) press YES. For the OBD II scan tool, see its instruction manual. Clearing the DTCs not using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Remove the EFI1 fuse from the engine room J/B and ETCS fuse from the engine room R/B for more than 60 seconds. Or, disconnect the battery terminal for more than 60 seconds. After disconnecting the battery terminal, perform the "INITIALIZE" procedure (see «PRE-CHECK»(ref-180980-S41701482092005073000000) in Automatic Transaxle Diagnostics article).
  7. FAIL-SAFE CHART If any of the following codes are recorded, the ECM enters the fail-safe mode.
  8. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS Hand-held tester only: Inspect the vehicle's ECM using check mode. Intermittent problems are easier to detect when the ECM is in check mode with the hand-held tester. In check mode, the ECM uses 1 trip detection logic, which has a higher sensitivity to malfunctions than normal mode (default), which uses 2 trip detection logic. Clear the DTCs (see step 5 ). Set the check mode (see step 6 ). Perform a simulation test (see SYMPTOM SIMULATION under «HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING»(ref-180907-S41160105272005073000000) in INTRODUCTION article). Check the connector and terminal (see «HOW TO USE THE DIAGNOSTIC CHART AND INSPECTION PROCEDURE»(ref-180907-S19852941862005073000000) in INTRODUCTION article). Wiggle the harness and connector (see «HOW TO USE THE DIAGNOSTIC CHART AND INSPECTION PROCEDURE»(ref-180907-S19852941862005073000000) in INTRODUCTION article).
  9. BASIC INSPECTION When the malfunction is not confirmed in the DTC check, troubleshooting should be carried out in all the possible circuits considered as causes of the problem. In many cases, by carrying out the basic engine check shown in the following flow chart, the location causing the problem can be found quickly and efficiently. Therefore, using this check is essential in the engine troubleshooting.

  12. List of Disable a Monitor HINT: This table indicates ECM monitoring status for the items in the upper columns if the DTCs in each line on the left are being set. As for the "X" make, when the DTC on the left is stored detection of the DTC in the upper column is not performed.
  13. O2S TEST RESULT INTRODUCTION The O2S TEST RESULT refers to the results of the engine control module (ECM) when it monitors the oxygen sensor (O2S), and it can be read using the hand-held tester or the generic OBDII scantool. Based on this, you can find the O2S's conditions. The ECM monitors the O2S in the various items. You can read the monitor result (TEST DATA) of each monitor item using the O2S TEST RESULT. However, the output value of the TEST DATA is the latest "snapshot" value that is taken after monitoring and therefore it is not dynamic. In this repair manual, the description of the O2S TEST RESULT (for O2S related DTCs) are written in a table. This table consists of 5 items: TEST ID (a code applied to each TEST DATA) Description of TEST DATA Conversion Factor (When Conversion Factor has a value written in the table, multiply the TEST DATA value appearing on the scantool by the Conversion Factor value. The result will be the required value.) Unit Standard Value If the TEST DATA value appearing on the scan tool is out of the standard value, the O2S is malfunctioning. If it is within the standard value, the O2S is functioning normally. However, if the value is on the borderline of the standard value, the O2S may malfunction very soon. HOW TO READ O2S TEST RESULT USING HAND-HELD TESTER Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3. On the tester screen, select the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / CARB OBDII / O2S TEST RESULT. A list of the O2S equipped on the vehicle will be displayed. Select the desired O2S and press ENTER. The following screen will appear. Example The hand-held tester displays "17" as a value of the "TIME $81" (see the illustration on the left). Find the Conversion Factor value of "TIME $81" in the O2S TEST RESULT chart below. 0.3906 is specified for $81 in this chart. Multiply "17" in step (1) by 0.3906 (Conversion Factor) in the step (2). 17 x 0.3906 = 6.6 % If the answer is within the standard value, the "TIME $81" can be confirmed to be normal. O2S TEST RESULT Chart O2S TEST RESULT CHART TEST ID Description of TEST DATA Conversion Factor Unit Standard Value $81 Percentage of monitoring time when the O2S voltage is less than 0.05 V Multiply 0.3906 % Within 60 %
  14. CHECKING MONITOR STATUS NOTE: The Monitor Status is not applicable to the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S). The HO2S status can be checked with O2S TEST RESULT. INTRODUCTION The purpose of the monitor result (mode 6) is to allow access to the results for on-board diagnostic monitoring tests of specific components/systems that are not continuously monitored. Examples are catalyst, EVAP and thermostat. The monitor result allows the OBD scan tool to display the monitor status, test value and test limit. The monitor status indicates whether the component is functioning normally or not (PASS or FAIL). The test value is the value that was used to determine the monitor status. When the test value is inside the test limit, the ECM determines the component is functioning normally (PASS). If the test value is outside the test limit, the ECM determines the component is malfunctioning (FAIL). A problem in these components/systems can be found by comparing the test value and test limit. The monitor result information is included under "MONITOR RESULT" in the DTC sections. PROCEDURE NOTE: The monitor result and test value are cleared when the ignition switch is turned OFF. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3. Turn the ignition switch ON. Clear the DTCs. Run the vehicle in accordance with the applicable drive pattern described in «READINESS MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN»(ref-180979-S23621775662005073000000) ). Select from the tester menus: DIAGNOSIS, ENHANCED OBD II, MONITOR INFO and MONITOR RESULT. The monitor result appears after the component name. INCMP: The component has not been monitored yet. PASS: The component is functioning normally. FAIL: The component is malfunctioning. Confirm that the component is set to either PASS or FAIL. Select the component (Label) and press ENTER. The accuracy test value appears when the monitor result is either PASS or FAIL. VAL The test value LMT: The test limit TLT: The test limit type. Either 0 or 1 is displayed. If TLT is 0, the component is malfunctioning when the test value is higher than the test limit. If TLT is 1, the component is malfunctioning when the test value is lower than the test limit. Compare the test value with the test limit. The test value is usually significantly higher or lower than the test limit. If the test value is on the borderline of the test limit, there is a potential malfunction in the component.

HINT

The monitor result might on rare occasions be PASS even if the MIL is illuminated. This indicates the system malfunctioned on a previous driving cycle. This might be caused by an intermittent problem.

  1. PURPOSE OF READINESS TESTS The On-Board Diagnostic (OBD II) system is designed to monitor the performance of emission-related components, and report any detected abnormalities with Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Since various components need to be monitored during different driving conditions, the OBD II system runs separate monitoring programs called readiness monitors. The hand-held tester's software must be version 9.0 or newer to view the readiness monitor status. From the "Enhanced OBD II Menu", select "Monitor Status" to view the readiness monitor status. A generic OBD II scan tool can also be used to view the readiness monitor status. When the readiness monitor status reads "complete", the necessary conditions have been met for running performance tests for that readiness monitor. HINT: Many state Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) programs require a vehicle's readiness monitor status to show "complete". The Readiness Monitor will be reset to "incomplete" if: The ECM has lost battery power or blown a fuse DTCs have been cleared. The conditions for running the Readiness Monitor have not been met. If the readiness monitor status shows "incomplete", follow the appropriate readiness monitor drive pattern to change the status to "complete". CAUTION: Strictly observe posted speed limits, traffic laws, and road conditions when performing these drive patterns. NOTE: The following drive patterns are the fastest method of completing all the requirements necessary for making the readiness monitor status read "complete". If forced to momentarily stop a drive pattern due to traffic or other factors, the drive pattern can be resumed. Upon completion of the drive pattern, in most cases, the readiness monitor status will change to "complete". Sudden changes in vehicle load and speed, such as driving up and down hills and / or sudden acceleration, hinder readiness monitor completion.
  2. CATALYST MONITOR (A/F sensor TYPE) Preconditions The monitor will not run unless: The MIL is OFF. Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is 75°C (167°F) or greater. Intake Air Temperature (IAT) is -10°C (14°F) or greater* NOTE: The readiness test can be completed in cold ambient conditions (less than -10°C/14°F) and / or high altitudes (more than 2,450 m / 8,000 feet). Finish the drive pattern, turn the ignition switch OFF and then on again, and repeat the drive pattern a second time. Drive Pattern Connect the OBD II scan tool to the DLC3 to check monitor status and preconditions (refer to step " a "). Drive the vehicle at 64 to 88 km/h (40 to 55 mph) for approximately 4 minutes. NOTE: Drive with smooth throttle operation and avoid sudden acceleration. If IAT is less than 10°C (50°F) when the engine was started, drive the vehicle at 64 to 88 km/h (40 to 55 mph) for an additional 4 minutes. Drive the vehicle allowing speed to fluctuate between 64 to 80 km/h (40 to 50 mph) for about 16 minutes. NOTE: Drive with smooth throttle operation and avoid sudden closure of the throttle. Check the status of the readiness monitor on the scan tool display. If the readiness monitor status did not switch to "complete", ensure preconditions are met, turn the ignition switch OFF, and then repeat steps 2 and 3 .
  3. EVAP MONITOR (VACUUM PRESSURE MONITOR) NOTE: A cold soak must be performed prior to conducting the drive pattern to complete the Internal Pressure Readiness Monitor. Cold Soak Preconditions The monitor will not run unless: The MIL is OFF Fuel level is approximately 1/2 to 3/4 fuel. Altitude is 2,450 m (8,000 feet) or less. Cold Soak Procedure Let vehicle cold soak for 8 hours or until "IAT - ECT" must be -7°C (-13°F) to 11.1°C (20°F). HINT: Examples: Scenario 1 ECT = 24°C (75°F) IAT = 16°C (60°F) Difference between ECT and IAT is 8°C (15°F) --> The monitor will not run because "IAT - ECT" is less than -7°C (-13°F). Scenario 2 ECT = 21°C (70°F) IAT = 20°C (68°F) Difference between ECT and IAT is 1°C (2°F) --> The monitor will run because "IAT - ECT" is -7°C (-13°F) and 11.1°C (20°F). Preconditions The monitor will not run unless: The MIL is OFF Fuel level is approximately 1/2 to 3/4 fuel. The altitude is 2,450 m (8,000 feet) or less* Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is between 4.4°C and 35°C (40°F and 95°F) Intake Air Temperature (IAT) is between 4.4°C and 35°C (40°F and 95°F)* The cold Soak Procedure has been completed Before starting the engine, the difference between ECT and IAT must be less than 7°C (13°F) HINT: Examples: Scenario 1 ECT = 24°C (75°F) IAT = 16°C (60°F) Difference between ECT and IAT is 8°C (15°F) --> The monitor will not run because difference between ECT and IAT is higher than 7°C (13°F) Scenario 2 ECT = 21°C (70°F) IAT = 20°C (68°F) Difference between ECT and IAT is 1°C (2°F) --> The monitor will run because difference between ECT and IAT is less than 7°C (13°F) NOTE: The readiness test can be completed in cold ambient conditions (less than 4.4°C / 40°F) and / or high altitudes (more than 2,450 m / 8,000 feet). Finish the drive pattern, turn the ignition switch OFF and then on again, and repeat the drive pattern a second time. Drive Pattern Connect the OBD II scan tool to the DLC3 to check monitor status and preconditions (refer to step " a "). Release pressure in fuel tank by removing the fuel tank cap and then reinstalling it. Start the engine and allow to idle until ECT is 75°C (167°F) or more. Run the engine at 3,000 RPM for about 10 seconds. With the engine idling, turn the A/C ON to create slight electrical load. Wait 15 to 50 minutes. NOTE: If the vehicle is not equipped with A/C, put a slight load on the engine by doing the following: Set the parking brake securely. Use wheel chocks to secure the tires. Move the shift lever to drive (position D) and allow the engine to idle for 15 to 50 minutes. Check the readiness monitor status.
  4. OXYGEN / AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR MONITOR (FRONT A/F SENSOR AND REAR O2S SYSTEM) Preconditions The monitor will not run unless: The MIL is OFF Drive Pattern Connect the OBD II scan tool to the DLC3 to check monitor status and preconditions (refer to step " a "). Start the engine and allow it to idle for 2 minutes or more. Drive the vehicle at 64 to 112 km/h (40 to 70 mph) for at least 150 seconds. Stop the vehicle and allow the engine to idle for 10 seconds or more. Drive the vehicle at 40 to 64 km/h (25 to 40 mph) for at least 40 seconds. Stop the vehicle and allow the engine to idle for 10 seconds or more Perform steps 5 and 6 10 times. Check the readiness monitor status. If the readiness monitor status did not change to "complete", check the preconditions, turn the ignition switch OFF, and repeat steps 1 to 6 .
  5. OXYGEN / A/F SENSOR HEATER MONITOR Preconditions The monitor will not run unless: The MIL is OFF Drive Pattern Connect the OBD II scan tool to the DLC3 to check monitor status and preconditions (refer to step " a "). Start the engine and allow it to idle for 500 seconds or more. Drive the vehicle at 40 km/h (25 mph) or more at least 2 minutes. Check the readiness monitor status. If the readiness monitor status did not change to "complete", check preconditions, turn the ignition switch OFF, and repeat steps 2 and 3 .

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system includes the ECM, the Oil Control Valve (OCV) and the VVT controller. The ECM sends a target duty-cycle control signal to the OCV. This control signal, applied to the OCV, regulates the oil pressure supplied to the VVT controller. Camshaft timing control is performed based on engine operation conditions such as intake air volume, throttle position and engine coolant temperature.

The ECM controls the OCV based on the signals output from several sensors. The VVT controller regulates the intake camshaft angle using oil pressure through the OCV. As result, the relative position between the camshaft and the crankshaft is optimized. Also, the engine torque improves, fuel economy improves, and exhaust emissions decrease. The ECM detects the actual valve timing using signals from the camshaft position sensor and the crankshaft position sensor. The ECM performs feedback control and verifies target valve timing.

The Mass Air Flow (MAF) meter measures the amount of air flowing through the throttle valve. The ECM uses this information to determine the fuel injection time and provide a proper air fuel ratio. Inside the MAF meter, there is a heated platinum wire exposed to the flow of intake air.

By applying a specific current to the wire, the ECM heats this wire to a given temperature. The flow of incoming air cools the wire and an internal thermistor, affecting their resistance. To maintain a constant current value, the ECM varies the voltage applied to these components in the MAF meter. The voltage level is proportional to the airflow through the sensor. The ECM interprets this voltage as the intake air amount.

The circuit is constructed so that the platinum hot wire and temperature sensor provide a bridge circuit, with the power transistor controlled so that the potential of A and B remains equal to maintain the set temperature.

Scheme 80: CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

HINT

Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

  1. Are there any other codes (besides DTC P0101) being output? NO : Replace MAF meter. YES : Go to relevant DTC chart (see «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART»(ref-180979-S19974899352005073000000) ).

The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor, mounted on the Mass Air Flow (MAF) meter, monitors the intake air temperature. The IAT sensor has a thermistor that varies its resistance depending on the temperature of the intake air. When the air temperature is low, the resistance in the thermistor increases. When the temperature is high, the resistance drops. The variations in resistance are reflected as voltage changes to the ECM terminal (Scheme 16)

The IAT sensor is connected to the ECM (see below). The 5 V power source voltage in the ECM is applied to the IAT sensor from terminal THA (THAR) via resistor R.

That is, the resistor R and the IAT sensor are connected in series. When the resistance value of the IAT sensor changes in accordance with changes in the IAT, the voltage at terminal THA (THAR) also changes. Based on this signal, the ECM increases the fuel injection volume to improve the driveability during cold engine operation.

The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) is used to monitor oxygen in the exhaust gas. For optimum catalyst operation, the air fuel mixture (air-fuel ratio) must be maintained near the ideal "stoichiometric" ratio. The HO2S output voltage changes suddenly in the vicinity of the stoichiometric ratio. The ECM adjusts the fuel injection time so that the air-fuel ratio is nearly stoichiometric.

The HO2S generates a voltage between 0 and 1 volt in response to oxygen in the exhaust gas. If the oxygen in the exhaust gas increases, the air-fuel ratio becomes "Lean". The ECM determines Lean when the HO2S voltage is below 0.45 volts. If the oxygen in the exhaust gas increases, the air-fuel ratio becomes "Rich". The ECM determines Rich when the HO2S voltage is above 0.45 volts.

The fuel trim is related to the feedback compensation value, not to the basic injection time. The fuel trim includes the short-term fuel trim and the long-term fuel trim.

The short-term fuel trim is the short-term fuel compensation used to maintain the ideal stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. The signal from the A/F sensor indicates whether the air-fuel ratio is RICH or LEAN compared to the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. This variance triggers a reduction in the fuel volume if the air-fuel ratio is RICH, and an increase in the fuel volume if it is LEAN.

The short-term fuel trim varies from the central value due to individual engine differences, wear over time and changes in the operating environment. The long-term fuel trim is the overall fuel compensation for the short-term fuel trim variation from the central value.

If both the short-term fuel trim and the long-term fuel trim are LEAN or RICH beyond a certain value, it is detected as a malfunction, the MIL is illuminated and a DTC is set.

Scheme 101

Scheme 101: CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

HINT

  1. When DTC P0171 is recorded, the actual air-fuel ratio is on the LEAN side. When DTC P0172 is recorded, the actual air-fuel ratio is on the RICH side.
  2. If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the air-fuel ratio is LEAN and DTC P0171 is recorded. The MIL then illuminates.

Scheme 102

Scheme 102: MONITOR DESCRIPTION

Under closed-loop fuel control, fuel injection amounts that deviate from the ECM's estimated fuel amount will cause a change in the long-term fuel trim compensation value. This long-term fuel trim is adjusted when there are persistent deviations in the short-term fuel trim values. And, the deviation from the simulated fuel injection amount by the ECM affects the smoothed fuel trim learning value. The smoothed fuel trim learning value is the combination of smoothed short-term fuel trim (fuel feedback compensation value) and smoothed long-term fuel trim (learning value of the air-fuel ratio). When the smoothed fuel trim learning value exceeds the DTC threshold, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the fuel system and sets a DTC.

Example

The smoothed fuel trim leaning value is more than +38 % or less than -32 %. The ECM interprets this as a fault in the fuel system.

Hand-held tester only

It is possible the malfunctioning area can be found using the ACTIVE TEST A/F CONTROL operation. The A/F CONTROL operation can determine if the A/F sensor, heated oxygen sensor or other potential trouble areas are malfunctioning or not.

  1. Perform the ACTIVE TEST A/F CONTROL operation. HINT: The A/F CONTROL operation lowers the injection volume 12.5 % or increases the injection volume 25%. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3 on the vehicle. Turn the ignition switch ON. Warm up the engine by running the engine at 2,500 RPM for approximately 90 seconds. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II/ACTIVE TEST / A/F CONTROL. Perform "A/F CONTROL" with the engine in an idle condition (press the right or left button). Result: A/F sensor reacts in accordance with increase and decrease of injection volume: +25 % --> Rich output: Less than 3.0 V -12.5 % --> Lean output: More than 3.35 V Heated oxygen sensor reacts in accordance with increase and decrease of injection volume: +25 % --> Rich output: More than 0.55 V -12.5 % --> Lean output: Less than 0.4 V

Note. The A/F sensor output has a few seconds of delay and the heated oxygen sensor output has about 20 seconds of delay at maximum.

  8. Connect hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool and read value for voltage output of A/F sensor. PREPARATION: Connect the hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool to the DLC 3. Warm up the A/F sensor with the engine at 2,500 RPM for approximately 90 seconds. Read A/F sensor voltage on the hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool. CHECK: Hand-held tester only: On the hand-held tester, enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / SNAPSHOT / MANUAL SNAPSHOT / USER DATA. Read the values. Select "AFS B1 S1/ENGINE SPD" and press button "YES". Monitor the A/F sensor voltage carefully. Check the A/F sensor voltage under the condition as follows. Allow the engine to idle for 30 seconds. Engine is racing at Approx. 2,500 RPM (when engine revolution is not suddenly changed). Raise the engine speed to 4,000 RPM and release the accelerator pedal fully closed quickly. OK: Standard: Conditions (1) and (2) Voltage changes a little in the vicinity of 3.3 V (0.66 V)* (between approximately 3.1 to 3.5 V) as shown in the illustration. Condition (3) A/F sensor voltage increase to 3.8 V (0.76 V)* or more during engine deceleration (when fuel cut) as shown in the illustration. HINT: Whenever the output voltage of the A/F sensor remains at approximately 3.3 V (0.660 V)* (see dwg. 2) under any conditions as well as the above conditions, the A/F sensor may have an open-circuit. (This will happen also when the A/F sensor heater has an open-circuit.) Whenever the output voltage of the A/F sensor remains at a certain value of approximately 3.8 V (0.76 V)* or more, or 2.8 V (0.56 V)* or less (see dwg. 2) under any conditions as well as the above conditions, the A/F sensor may have a short-circuit. The ECM will stop fuel injection (fuel cut) during engine deceleration. This will cause a lean condition and should result in a momentary increase in A/F ratio sensor voltage. The ECM must establish a closed throttle position learned value to perform fuel cut. If the battery terminal has been disconnected, the vehicle must be driven over 16 km/h (10 mph) to allow the ECM to relearn the closed throttle position. When the vehicle is driven: In the case that the output voltage of the A/F sensor is below 2.8 V (0.76 V)* during fuel enrichment (for example, when the vehicle tries to overtake another vehicle on a highway, the vehicle speed is suddenly increased with the accelerator pedal fully depressed), the A/F sensor are functioning normally. The A/F sensor is a current output element, and therefore the current is converted into voltage inside the ECM.

When a misfire occurs in the engine, hydrocarbons (HC) enter the exhaust in high concentrations. If this HC concentration is high enough, there could be an increase in exhaust emissions levels. High concentrations of HC can also cause the temperature of the catalyst to increase, possibly damaging the catalyst. To prevent increases in emissions and limit the possibility of thermal damage, the ECM monitors the misfire rate. When the temperature of the catalyst reaches a point of thermal degradation, the ECM will blink the MIL. For monitoring a misfire, the ECM uses both the camshaft position sensor and the crankshaft position sensor. The camshaft position sensor is used to identify misfiring cylinders and the crankshaft position sensor is used to measure variations in the crankshaft rotation speed. The misfire is counted when crankshaft rotation speed variations exceed threshold values.

If the misfiring rate exceeds the threshold value and could cause emissions deterioration, the ECM illuminates the MIL.

Scheme 107

Scheme 107: CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

HINT

When codes for a misfiring cylinder are recorded repeatedly but no random misfire code is recorded, it indicates that the misfires have been detected and recorded at different times.

Reference: Inspection using an oscilloscope.

With the engine idling, check the waveform between terminals #10 to #40 and E01 of the ECM connectors.

Scheme 108

Scheme 108: MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM illuminates the MIL (2 trip detection logic) if

  1. The misfiring rate exceeds a threshold value and could cause emissions deterioration.
  2. During the first 1,000 engine revolutions after the engine starts, an excessive misfire rate (approximately 20 to 50 misfire per 1,000 engine revolutions) occurs once.
  3. After the first 1,000 engine revolutions after the engine starts, an excessive misfire rate (approximately 20 to 50 misfire per 1,000 engine revolutions) occurs 4 times.

The ECM blinks the MIL (MIL blinks immediately) if

  1. Within 200 engine revolutions at a high RPM, the threshold for "percent of misfire causing catalyst damage" is reached once.
  2. Within 200 engine revolutions at a normal RPM, the threshold for "percent of misfire causing catalyst damage" is reached 3 times (for the 2nd trip, reaching the threshold once will cause the MIL to flash).

Scheme 109

Scheme 109: MONITOR STRATEGY

HINT

  1. If DTCs besides misfire DTCs are memorized simultaneously, troubleshoot the non-misfire DTCs first.
  2. Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
  3. If the misfire does not occur when the vehicle is brought to the workshop, the misfire can be confirmed by reproducing the condition of the freeze frame data. Also, after finishing the repair, confirm that there is no misfire (see confirmation driving pattern).
  4. On 6 and 8 cylinder engines, misfiring cylinder identification is disabled at high engine speed and only a general misfire fault code P0300 is stored instead of a cylinder specific misfire fault code (P0301 to P0308). If the misfire starts in a high engine speed area or the misfire occurs only in a high engine speed area, only code P0300 will be stored.
  5. Erase the general misfire fault code from the hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool.
  6. Start the engine and drive the confirmation pattern.
  7. Read the value of the misfire ratio for each cylinder. Or read the DTC.
  8. Perform repairs on the cylinder that has a high misfire ratio. Or repair the cylinder indicated by the DTC.
  9. After finishing repairs, drive the confirmation pattern again and confirm that no misfire occurs.
  10. When either of SHORT FT #1, LONG FT #1 in the freeze frame data is over the range of +/-20 %, there is a possibility that the air-fuel ratio is becoming to RICH (-20 % or less) or LEAN (+20 % or more).
  11. When COOLANT TEMP in the freeze frame data is less than 80°C (176°F), there is a possibility of misfire only during engine warm-up.
  12. If the misfire cannot be reproduced, the following reasons may apply: 1) the vehicle has low fuel, 2) improper fuel is being used, and 3) the ignition plug is contaminated.
  13. Be sure to check the value on the misfire counter after the repair.

A flat type knock sensor (non-resonant type) has the structure that can detect vibration in a wider band of frequency from approximately 6 kHz to 15 kHz and has the following features.

Knock sensor is fitted on the left side of the cylinder block to detect engine knocking.

Each sensor contains a piezoelectric element which generates a voltage when it becomes deformed. This occurs when the cylinder block vibrates due to knocking. If engine knocking occurs, the ignition timing is retarded to suppress it.

The sensor plate has 34 teeth and is installed on the crankshaft. The pickup coil is made of an iron core and magnet. The sensor plate rotates and as each tooth passes through the pickup coil, a pulse signal is created. The pickup coil generates 34 signals for each engine revolution. Based on these signals, the ECM calculates the crankshaft position and engine RPM. Using these calculations, the fuel injection time and ignition timing are controlled.

The camshaft position (CMP) sensor, like the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor, consists of a magnet and an iron core wrapped in copper wire. The camshaft has 3 teeth and the CMP sensor is installed so that it can detect these teeth passing by. When the camshaft rotates and the teeth pass by the CMP sensor, the magnet on the CMP sensor creates a magnetic field and voltage is generated in the copper wire. When the crankshaft makes 2 rotation, voltage will be generated in the CMP sensor 3 times. The CKP sensor is roughly the same. When the crankshaft makes 1 rotation, its 34 teeth pass by the CKP sensor and voltage is generated 34 times. The camshaft rotates at half the speed of the crankshaft. Therefore, the CMP sensor generates voltage 3 times in the time the crankshaft takes to make 2 rotations.

The Engine Control Module (ECM) detects generation of these voltages to locate the camshaft position, which are used to indicate the cylinder.

The vapor pressure sensor, CCV and Pressure switching valve are used to detect abnormalities in the evaporative emission control system.

The ECM decides whether there is an abnormality in the evaporative emission control system based on the vapor pressure sensor signal.

DTC P0442, P0455 or P0456 is recorded in the ECM when evaporative emissions leak from the components within the dotted line in (Scheme 146) below, or when the vapor pressure sensor malfunctions.

HINT

  1. If DTC P0441 (Purge Flow), P0446 (CCV or Pressure switching valve) or P0451 (evaporative pressure sensor) is output with DTC P0442 or P0456, first troubleshoot DTC P0441, P0446 or P0451. If no malfunction is detected, troubleshoot DTC P0442 or P0456 next.
  2. Ask the customer whether, after the MIL is turned on, the customer found the fuel tank cap loose and tightened it. Also ask the customer whether the fuel tank cap was loose when refuelling. If the fuel tank cap was loose, it was the cause of the DTC. If the fuel tank cap was not loose or if the customer was not sure if it was loose, troubleshoot according to the following procedure.
  3. Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
  4. When the ENGINE RUN TIME in the freeze frame data is less than 200 seconds, carefully check the vapor pressure sensor.

The Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) has a dedicated power supply circuit. The voltage (+BM) is monitored and when the voltage is low (less than 4 V), the ECM concludes that the ETCS has a fault and current to the throttle actuator is cut.

When the voltage becomes unstable, the ETCS control condition itself becomes unstable. For this reason, when the voltage is low, the current to the actuator is cut. If repairs are made and the system has returned to normal and then the ignition switch is turned OFF, the ECM will be able to restart the actuator.

The Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) is composed of a throttle actuator that operates the throttle valve, a throttle position sensor that detects the opening angle of the throttle valve, an accelerator pedal position sensor that detects the accelerator pedal position, and the ECM that controls the ETCS system. The ECM operates the throttle actuator to position the throttle valve for proper response to driver inputs. The throttle position sensor, mounted on the throttle body, detects the opening angle of the throttle valve and provides this signal to the ECM so that the ECM can regulate the throttle actuator.

  1. Are there any other codes (besides DTC P2195 and/or P2196) being output? HINT: If any other codes besides P2195 and/or P2196 are output, perform the troubleshooting for those DTCs first. YES : Go to relevant DTC chart (see «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART»(ref-180979-S19974899352005073000000) ). NO : Go to next step.
  2. Connect hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool, and read value for voltage output of A/F sensor. PREPARATION: Connect the hand-held or the OBD II scan tool to the DLC3. Warm up the A/F sensor with the engine at 2,500 RPM for approximately 90 seconds. Read A/F sensor voltage on the hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool. CHECK: Hand-held tester only: On the hand-held tester, enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / SNAPSHOT / MANUAL SNAPSHOT / USER DATA. Read the values. Select "AFS B1 S1/ENGINE SPD" and press button "YES". Monitor the A/F sensor voltage carefully. Check the A/F sensor voltage under the condition as follows. Allow engine to idle for 30 seconds. Engine is racing at approximately 2,500 RPM (when engine revolution is not suddenly changed). Raise the engine speed to 4,000 RPM and release the accelerator pedal fully quickly. OK: Standard: Conditions (1) and (2) Voltage changes a little in the vicinity of 3.3 V (between Approx. 3.1 - 3.5 V) as shown in the illustration. Condition (3) A/F ratio sensor voltage increases to 3.8 V or more during engine deceleration (when fuel cut) as shown in the illustration. HINT: Whenever the output voltage of the A/F sensor remains at approximately 3.3 V (0.660 V)* (see dwg. 2) under any conditions as well as the above conditions, the A/F sensor may have an open-circuit. (This will happen also when the A/F sensor heater has an open-circuit.) Whenever the output voltage of the A/F sensor remains at a certain value of approximately 3.8 V (0.76 V)* or more, or 2.8 V (0.56 V)* or less (see dwg. 2) under any conditions as well as the above conditions, the A/F sensor may have a short-circuit. The ECM will stop fuel injection (fuel cut) during engine deceleration. This will cause a lean condition and should result in a momentary increase in the A/F ratio sensor voltage. The ECM must establish a closed throttle position learned value to perform fuel cut. If the battery terminal has been disconnected, the vehicle must be driven over 16 km/h (10 mph) to allow the ECM to relearn the closed throttle position. When the vehicle is driven: In the case that the output voltage of the A/F sensor is below 2.8 V (0.76 V)* during fuel enrichment (for example, when the vehicle tries to overtake another vehicle on a highway, the vehicle speed is suddenly increased with the accelerator pedal fully depressed), the A/F sensor are functioning normally.

The MIL is used to indicate the ECM's detection of a vehicle malfunction.

The instrument panel IG2 fuse provides circuit power and the ECM provides the circuit ground that illuminates the MIL.

MIL operations should be checked visually

The MIL should be illuminated when the ignition is first turned ON. If the MIL is always ON or OFF, use the hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool and follow the procedures to determine the cause of problem.
