DEFINITION OF TERMS
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Monitor Description | Description of what the ECM monitors and how it detects malfunctions (monitoring purpose and its details). |
| Related DTCs | A group of diagnostic trouble codes that are output by the ECM based on the same malfunction detection logic. |
| Typical Enabling Condition | Preconditions that allow the ECM to detect malfunctions. With all preconditions satisfied, the ECM sets the DTC when monitored value(s) exceed malfunction threshold(s). |
| Sequence of Operation | Order 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 and is not monitored until the previous detection operation is completed. |
| Required Sensor/Components | Sensors and components used by the ECM to detect each malfunction. |
| Frequency of Operation | The number of times the ECM checks for each malfunction during each driving cycle. "Once per driving cycle" means that the ECM only checks for malfunctions once during a single driving cycle. "Continuous" means that the ECM checks for malfunctions whenever enabling conditions are met. |
| Duration | The minimum time for which the ECM must detect a continuous deviation in monitored value(s) in order to set a DTC. Timing begins when Typical Enabling Conditions are met. |
| Malfunction Thresholds | Value, beyond which, the ECM determines that a malfunction exists and sets a DTC. |
| MIL Operation | Timing of MIL illumination after a malfunction is detected. "Immediately" means that the ECM illuminates the MIL as soon as a malfunction is detected. "2 driving cycle" means that the ECM illuminates the MIL if the same malfunction is detected a second time during next sequential driving cycle. |

CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
HINT
Inspect the ECM using check mode. Intermittent problems are easier to detect with the Techstream when the ECM is in check mode. In check mode, the ECM uses 1 trip detection logic, which is more sensitive to malfunctions than normal mode (default), which uses 2 trip detection logic.
- Clear the DTCs. Refer to «DTC CHECK / CLEAR»(ref-394618-S22943830982011040800000) .
- Switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode using the Techstream. Refer to «CHECK MODE PROCEDURE»(ref-394618-S12672469382011040800000) .
- Perform a simulation test.
- Check and wiggle the harness(es), connector(s) and terminal(s).
REGISTRATION
Note. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be input into the replacement ECM.
HINT
The VIN is a 17-digit alphanumeric vehicle identification number. The Techstream is required to register the VIN.
- DESCRIPTION HINT: This registration section consists of 2 parts: Read VIN and Write VIN. Read VIN: This process allows the VIN stored in the ECM to be read in order to confirm that the 2 VINs, the one provided with the vehicle and stored in the vehicle ECM, are the same. Write VIN: This process allows the VIN to be input into the ECM. If the ECM is changed, or the ECM VIN and vehicle VIN do not match, the VIN can be registered, or overwritten in the ECM by following this procedure.
- READ VIN Confirm the vehicle VIN. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / VIN / VIN Read.
- WRITE VIN Confirm the vehicle VIN. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / VIN / VIN Write.
CHECKING MONITOR STATUS
The purpose of the monitor result (mode 06) is to allow access to the results for on-board diagnostic monitoring tests of specific components/systems that are not continuously monitored. Examples are the catalyst, evaporative emission (EVAP) system and thermostat.
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 test limit and maximum test limit, the ECM (PCM) interprets this as a malfunction. When the component is not malfunctioning, if the difference of the test value and test limit is very small, the component will malfunction in the near future.
Perform the following procedure to view the monitor status. Although this procedure references the Lexus/Toyota diagnostic tester, it can be checked using a generic OBD II scan tool. Refer to your scan tool operator's manual for specific procedures.
- PERFORM MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on. Clear the DTCs. Refer to «DTC CHECK / CLEAR»(ref-394618-S22943830982011040800000) . Run the vehicle in accordance with the applicable drive pattern described in Readiness Monitor Drive Pattern. Refer to «READINESS MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN»(ref-394618-S33900748092011040800000) . Do not turn the ignition switch off. NOTE: The test results will be lost if the ignition switch is turned off.
- ACCESS MONITOR RESULT Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Monitor / Result. The monitor status appears after the component name. Pass: The component is functioning normally. Fail: The component is malfunctioning. Confirm that Pass or Fail is shown for the component. Select the component and press ENTER. The accuracy test value appears if the monitor status is either Pass or Fail.
- CHECK COMPONENT STATUS Compare the test value with the minimum test limit and maximum test limit. If the test value is between the minimum test limit and maximum test limit, the component is functioning normally. If not, the component is malfunctioning. The test value is usually significantly more or less than the test limit. If the test value is on the borderline of the test limit, the component will 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.

- PURPOSE OF READINESS TESTS The On-Board Diagnostic (OBD II) system is designed to monitor the performance of emission-related components, and indicate any detected abnormalities with 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 status, enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Monitor / Status2. When the Readiness Monitor status displays 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 the vehicle Readiness Monitor status to show Complete before beginning emission tests. The Readiness Monitor is 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. WARNING: Strictly observe posted speed limits, traffic laws, and road conditions when performing these drive patterns. NOTE: These drive patterns represent the fastest method of satisfying all conditions necessary to achieve complete status for each specific Readiness Monitor. In the event of a drive pattern being interrupted (possibly due to factors such as traffic conditions), the drive pattern can be resumed. In most cases, the Readiness Monitor will still achieve complete status upon completion of the drive 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).
- CATALYST MONITOR (ACTIVE AIR FUEL RATIO CONTROL TYPE) Preconditions The monitor will not run unless: The MIL is off. Drive Pattern (1) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. (2) Turn the ignition switch to ON. (3) Turn the Techstream on. (4) Clear the DTCs (if output). Refer to «DTC CHECK / CLEAR»(ref-394618-S22943830982011040800000) . (5) Start the engine and warm it up. (6) Drive the vehicle at between 40 and 70 mph (64 and 113 km/h) for at least 10 minutes. Monitor Status Check the Readiness Monitor status displayed on the Techstream. If the status does not switch to Complete, extend the driving time.
- EVAP SYSTEM MONITOR (KEY-OFF TYPE) Preconditions The monitor will not run unless: The fuel tank is less than 90% full. The altitude is less than 8000 ft. (2438 m). The vehicle is stationary. The engine coolant temperature is between 4.4 and 35°C (40 and 95°F). The intake air temperature is between 4.4 and 35°C (40 and 95°F). The vehicle was driven in a city area (or on a free-way) for 10 minutes or more. Monitor Conditions Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 5 to 10 hours depending on certain vehicle conditions. HINT: Do not start the engine until checking Readiness Monitor status. If the engine is started, the step described above must be repeated. Monitor Status Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Turn the Techstream on. Check the Readiness Monitor status displayed on the Techstream. If the status does not switch to Complete, restart the engine, make sure that the preconditions have been met, and then perform the Monitor Conditions procedure again.
- AIR FUEL RATIO AND HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR MONITORS (ACTIVE AIR FUEL RATIO CONTROL TYPE) Preconditions The monitor will not run unless: 2 minutes or more have elapsed since the engine was started. The engine coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or higher. Cumulative driving time at a vehicle speed of 30 mph (48 km/h) or more exceeds 6 minutes. Air fuel ratio feedback control is performed. Drive Pattern for the air fuel ratio sensor and heated oxygen sensor (1) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. (2) Turn the ignition switch to ON. (3) Turn the Techstream on. (4) Clear the DTCs. Refer to «DTC CHECK / CLEAR»(ref-394618-S22943830982011040800000) . (5) Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature reaches 75°C (167°F) or higher. (6) Drive the vehicle at a speed between 37 mph (60 km/h) and 75 mph (120 km/h) for at least 10 minutes. (7) Change the transmission to 2nd gear. (8) Accelerate the vehicle to 40 mph (64 km/h) or more by depressing the accelerator pedal for at least 10 seconds. (9) Release the accelerator pedal for at least 8 seconds without depressing the brake pedal in order to execute fuel-cut control. (10) Allow the vehicle to decelerate until the vehicle speed decreases to less than 6 mph (10 km/h). (11) Repeat steps (8) through (10) above at least 3 times in one driving cycle. Monitor Status Check the Readiness Monitor status displayed on the Techstream. If the status does not switch to Complete, make sure that the preconditions have been met, and then perform steps (5) through (11) in the Drive Pattern above.

CHECK MODE PROCEDURE
HINT
Techstream only
Compared to normal mode, check mode is more sensitive to malfunctions. Therefore, check mode can detect malfunctions that cannot 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.
Scheme 38
- CHECK MODE PROCEDURE Check and ensure the following conditions: Battery voltage is 11 V or higher. Throttle valve is fully closed. Shift lever is in P or N. A/C switch is off. Turn the ignition switch off. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / Check Mode. Switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode. Check that the MIL flashes as shown in the illustration. Start the engine. Check that the MIL turns off. Simulate the conditions of the malfunction described by the customer. Check DTCs and freeze frame data using the Techstream.
FAIL-SAFE CHART
If any of the following DTCs are stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode to allow the vehicle to be driven temporarily or stops fuel injection.
| DTC Code | Component | Fail-Safe Operation | Fail-Safe Deactivation Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| P0031 P0032 P101D | Air fuel ratio sensor heater | The ECM turns off the air fuel ratio sensor heater. | Ignition switch off |
| P0037 P0038 P102D | Heated oxygen sensor heater | The ECM turns off the heated oxygen sensor heater. | Ignition switch off |
| P0102 P0103 | Mass air flow meter | The ECM calculates ignition timing according to the engine speed and throttle valve position. | Pass condition detected |
| P0112 P0113 | Intake air temperature sensor | The ECM estimates the intake air temperature to be 20°C (68°F). | Pass condition detected |
| P0115 P0117 P0118 | Engine coolant temperature sensor | The ECM estimates the engine coolant temperature to be 80°C (176°F). | Pass condition detected |
| P0120 P0121 P0122 P0123 P0220 P0222 P0223 P0604 P0606 P060A P060B P060D P060E P0657 P1607 P2102 P2103 P2111 P2112 P2118 P2119 P2135 | Electronic throttle control system | The ECM cuts off throttle actuator current and the throttle valve is returned to a 6° throttle position by the return spring. The ECM then adjusts the engine output by controlling fuel injection (intermittent fuel-cut) and ignition timing in accordance with the accelerator pedal angle to allow the vehicle to continue at minimal speed*1. | Pass condition detected and then ignition switch turned off |
| P0300 P0301 P0302 P0303 P0304 *2 | Fuel injector Electronic throttle control system | When a catalyst-damaging misfire occurs (MIL blinking), the following fail-safe operation is performed for catalyst overheat malfunction prevention. Under a low load and at a low engine speed: - Fuel cut is performed on the malfunctioning cylinder. Under a high load and at a high engine speed: - Throttle valve opening angle control is performed. - Fuel cut is performed on all cylinders or the malfunction cylinder. | Pass condition detected and then ignition switch turned off |
| P0327 P0328 | Knock sensor | The ECM sets the ignition timing to maximum retard. | Ignition switch off |
| P0351 to P0354 | Ignition coil | The ECM cuts the fuel. | Pass condition detected |
| P2120 P2121 P2122 P2123 P2125 P2127 P2128 P2138 | Accelerator pedal sensor assembly | The accelerator pedal sensor assembly has 2 sensor circuits: Main and Sub. If either circuit malfunctions, the ECM controls the engine using the other circuit. If both circuits malfunction, the ECM regards the accelerator pedal as being released. As a result, the throttle valve is closed and the engine idles. | Pass condition detected and then ignition switch turned off |
HINT
- *1: The vehicle can be driven slowly when the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and slowly. If the accelerator pedal is depressed quickly, the vehicle may speed up and slow down erratically.
- *2: Misfire-related fail-safe operations occur when catalyst overheat malfunctions occur.
