MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses sensors mounted in front of and behind the Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) to monitor its efficiency.
The first sensor, the air fuel ratio sensor, sends pre-catalyst information to the ECM. The second sensor, the heated oxygen sensor, sends post-catalyst information to the ECM.
In order to detect any deterioration in the three-way catalytic converter, the ECM calculates the oxygen storage capacity of the three-way catalytic converter. This calculation is based on the voltage output of the heated oxygen sensor while performing active air fuel ratio control.
The oxygen storage capacity value is an indication of the oxygen storage capacity of the three-way catalytic converter. When the vehicle is being driven with a warm engine, active air fuel ratio control is performed for approximately 15 to 20 seconds. When it is performed, the ECM deliberately sets the air fuel ratio to lean or rich levels. If the cycle of the waveform for the heated oxygen sensor is long, the oxygen storage capacity is great. There is a direct correlation between the heated oxygen sensor and the oxygen storage capacity of the three-way catalytic converter.
The ECM uses the oxygen storage capacity value to determine the state of the three-way catalytic converter. If any deterioration has occurred, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.
This system determines the deterioration of the entire catalyst system (including the front and rear catalysts), by using the oxygen storage capacity value of the front catalyst, that is more sensitive than the rear catalyst, as the representative value.

When the system is normal, the EVAP pressure is between 97 to 100 kPa(abs) [724 to 752 mmHg(abs)]* and saturated within a minute. If not, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction. The ECM illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC if this malfunction is detected in consecutive drive cycles.

The EVAP system pressure is then measured by the ECM using the canister pressure sensor. If the stabilized system pressure is higher than [second reference pressure x 0.2], the ECM interprets this as the purge VSV being stuck open. The ECM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC (2 trip detection logic). Purge VSV stuck closed In operation D, the canister pressure sensor measures the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system pressure. The pressure measurement for the purge VSV monitor begins when the purge VSV is turned on (open) after the EVAP leak check. When the measured pressure indicates an increase of 0.3 kPa(gauge) [2.25 mmHg(gauge)] or more, the purge VSV is functioning normally. If the pressure does not increase, the ECM interprets this as the purge VSV being stuck closed. The ECM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC (2 trip detection logic).
- PURGE FLOW MONITOR The purge flow monitor consists of 2 monitors. The 1st monitor is conducted every time and the 2nd monitor is activated if necessary.
- The 1st monitor While the engine is running and the purge VSV is on (open), the ECM monitors the purge flow by measuring the EVAP pressure change. If negative pressure is not created, the ECM begins the 2nd monitor.
- The 2nd monitor The vent valve is turned on (closed) and the EVAP pressure is then measured. If the variation in the pressure is less than 0.15 kPa(gauge) [1.13 mmHg(gauge)], the ECM interprets this as the purge VSV being stuck closed, and illuminates the MIL and stores DTC P0441 (2 trip detection logic).
Atmospheric pressure check
In order to ensure reliable malfunction detection, the variation between the atmospheric pressures, before and after conduction of the purge flow monitor, is measured by the ECM.
HINT

To reduce hydrocarbon emissions, evaporated fuel from the fuel tank is routed through a charcoal canister to the intake manifold for combustion in the cylinders.
The ECM changes the duty signals to the Purge VSV (Vacuum Switching Valve for Purge Control) so that the intake amount of hydrocarbon emissions is appropriate for the driving conditions (engine load, engine speed, vehicle speed, etc.) after the engine is warmed up.

- DTC P0451: Canister pressure sensor abnormal voltage fluctuation or being constant If the canister pressure sensor voltage output fluctuates rapidly for 10 seconds, the ECM stops the EVAP system monitor. The ECM interprets this as the canister pressure sensor voltage fluctuating, and stops the EVAP system monitor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.

Automatic Transaxle, Manual Transaxle w/ABS Models
Vehicles, which are equipped with ABS (Anti-lock Brake System), detect the vehicle speed using the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) and wheel speed sensor. The wheel speed sensor monitors the wheel rotation speed and sends a signal to the skid control ECU. The skid control ECU converts the wheel speed signal into a 4-pulse signal and transmits it to the ECM via the combination meter. The ECM determines the vehicle speed based on the frequency of the pulse signal.
Scheme 597
Manual Transaxle w/o ABS Models
The vehicle speed is detected using the speedometer sensor. The speedometer sensor transmits a 4-pulse signal for every revolution of the rotor shaft, which is rotated by the transaxle output shaft via the driven gear. The 4-pulse signal is converted into a more precise rectangular waveform by the waveform shaping circuit inside the combination meter. The signal is then transmitted to the ECM. The ECM determines the vehicle speed based on the frequency of the pulse signal.
Scheme 598
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P0500 | While vehicle being driven, no vehicle speed sensor signal transmitted to ECM (1 trip detection logic: Automatic transaxle) (2 trip detection logic: Manual transaxle) | Open or short in speed signal circuit Combination meter ECM Wire harness or connector |
HINT
- Various systems use the vehicle speed signal distributed from the combination meter. Check all the components possibly related to speed signal.
- A voltage of 12 V or 5 V is output from each ECU and then input to the combination meter assembly. The signal is changed to a pulse signal at the transistor in the combination meter assembly. Each ECU controls the respective system based on the pulse signal.
- If a short occurs in any of the ECUs or in the wire harness connected to an ECU, all systems using the speed signal will not operate normally.
Automatic Transaxle
The ECM assumes that the vehicle is being driven when the indicated engine speed is more than 2090 RPM and 30 seconds have elapsed since the park/neutral position switch was turned OFF (typical example values). If there is no speed signal from the combination meter, despite these conditions being met, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the speed signal circuit. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.
Manual Transaxle
The ECM assumes that the vehicle is being driven when fuel cut with the accelerator pedal released continues for 4.6 seconds or more. If there is no speed signal from the combination meter, despite this condition being met, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the speed signal circuit. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.
The stop light switch is a duplex system that transmits two signals: STP and ST1-. These two signals are used by the ECM to monitor whether or not the brake system is working properly. If the signals, which indicate the brake pedal is being depressed and released, are detected simultaneously, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the stop light switch and stores the DTC.
HINT
The normal signal conditions are as shown in the table below.
| Signal (ECM Terminal) | Brake Pedal Released | In Transition | Brake Pedal Depressed |

- [OFF] denotes ground potential.
- [ON] denotes battery potential (+B).

The idling speed is controlled by the ETCS (Electronic Throttle Control System). The ETCS is comprised of: 1) the one valve type throttle body; 2) the throttle actuator, which operates the throttle valve; 3) the throttle position sensor, which detects the opening angle of the throttle valve; 4) the accelerator pedal position sensor, which detects the accelerator pedal position; and 5) the ECM, which controls the ETCS. Based on the target idling speed, the ECM controls the throttle actuator to provide the proper throttle valve opening angle.

- The difference between the target engine idling speed and actual engine idling speed exceeds the threshold and the IAC flow rate learned value is stuck at the upper or lower limit for 5 seconds or more.
- After driving at a vehicle speed of 10 km/h (6.25 mph) or more, the difference between the target and actual engine idling speed exceeds the threshold 5 times or more during a driving cycle, and then the system determines that the IAC flow rate learned value has been changed by an amount that exceeds the threshold.
This monitor will run when the engine is started at an engine coolant temperature of -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F). The DTC will be stored after the engine idles for 13 seconds (2 trip detection logic).
The DTC is designed to monitor the idle air control at cold start. When the engine is started at an engine coolant temperature of below 50°C (122°F), the ECM measures the accumulated mass air flow during engine idling. If the accumulated mass air flow does not reach the specified level within 10 seconds, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction. The MIL is illuminated and a DTC is stored when the malfunction is detected in consecutive driving cycles (2 trip detection logic).
The electronic throttle control system controls the idle speed. The electronic throttle control system operates the throttle actuator to open and close the throttle valve, and adjusts the intake air amount to achieve the target idle speed.

This DTC indicates that the stop light switch remains on. When the stop light switch remains on during "STOP and GO" driving, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the stop light switch. The ECM turns on MIL and stores the DTC. The vehicle must STOP (less than 3 km/h [1.86 mph]) and GO (30 km/h [18.65 mph] or more) 5 times during 2 driving cycles, in order to detect a malfunction.
P1603
After starting the engine, this DTC is stored when the engine stops without the ignition switch being operated.
Using the Techstream, the conditions present when the DTC was stored can be confirmed by referring to the freeze frame data. Freeze frame data records engine conditions when a malfunction occurs. This information can be useful when troubleshooting.
It is necessary to check if the vehicle has run out of fuel in the past before performing troubleshooting, as this DTC is also stored when the engine stalls due to running out of fuel.

P1605
This DTC is stored if the engine speed drops below the set speed.
Using the Techstream, the conditions present when the DTC was stored can be confirmed by referring to the freeze frame data. Freeze frame data records engine conditions when a malfunction occurs. This information can be useful when troubleshooting.
It is necessary to check if the vehicle has run out of fuel in the past before performing troubleshooting, as this DTC is also stored when idling is unstable due to running out of fuel.
