 PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONS On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System of

Engine
The ECM has an on board diagnostic system. It will light up the
malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to warn the driver of a malfunction
causing emission deterioration.

CAUTION:
• Be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the
negative battery cable before any repair or inspection work.
The open/short circuit of related switches, sensors, sole-
noid valves, etc. will cause the MIL to light up.
• Be sure to connect and lock the connectors securely after
work. A loose (unlocked) connector will cause the MIL to
light up due to the open circuit. (Be sure the connector is
free from water, grease, dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
• Certain systems and components, especially those related
to OBD, may use a new style slide-locking type harness
connector.
• Be sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after
work. The interference of the harness with a bracket, etc.
may cause the MIL to light up due to the short circuit.
• Be sure to connect rubber tubes properly after work. A
misconnected or disconnected rubber tube may cause the
MIL to light up due to the malfunction of fuel injection
system, etc.
• Be sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction information
(repairs completed) from the ECM before returning the
vehicle to the customer.

Precaution
• Always use a 12 volt battery as power source.
• Do not attempt to disconnect battery cables while engine is
running.
• Before connecting or disconnecting the ECM harness
connector, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect battery
ground cable. Failure to do so may damage the ECM
because battery voltage is applied to ECM even if ignition
switch is turned OFF.
• Before removing parts, turn ignition switch OFF and then
disconnect battery ground cable.
SEF0289H

• Do not disassemble ECM.

• If a battery cable is disconnected, the memory will return to
the ECM value. The ECM will now start to self-control at its
initial value. Engine operation can vary slightly when the
terminal is disconnected. However, this is not an indication
of a malfunction. Do not replace parts because of a slight
variation.
• If the battery is disconnected, the following emission-
related diagnostic information will be lost within 24 hours.

EC-2
 PRECAUTIONS

Precaution (Cont’d)
• When connecting ECM harness connector, fasten it
securely with levers as far as they will go as shown in the
figure.

• When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or

from ECM, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or
break).
Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on ECM
pin terminal, when connecting pin connectors.
• Securely connect ECM harness connectors. A poor
connection can cause an extremely high (surge) voltage to
develop in coil and condenser, thus resulting in damage to
ICs.
• Keep engine control system harness at least 10 cm (4 in)
away from adjacent harness, to prevent engine control
system malfunctions due to receiving external noise,
degraded operation of ICs, etc.
• Keep engine control system parts and harness dry.
• Before replacing ECM, perform ECM Terminals and
Reference Value inspection and make sure ECM functions
properly.
• Handle mass air flow sensor carefully to avoid damage.
• Do not disassemble mass air flow sensor.
• Do not clean mass air flow sensor with any type of
detergent.
• Do not disassemble electric throttle control actuator.
• Even a slight leak in the air intake system can cause
serious incidents.
MEF040D • Do not shock or jar the camshaft position sensor (PHASE),
crankshaft position sensor (POS).

EC-3
 PRECAUTIONS

Precaution (Cont’d)
• When measuring ECM signals with a circuit tester, never
allow the two tester probes to contact. Accidental contact
of probes will cause a short circuit and damage the ECM
power transistor.
• Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/
output voltage. Doing so may result in damage to the
ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals,
such as the ground.

SEF348N

• Do not operate fuel pump when there is no fuel in lines.

• Tighten fuel hose clamps to the specified torque.

• Do not depress accelerator pedal when starting.

• Immediately after starting, do not rev up engine
unnecessarily.
• Do not rev up engine just prior to shutdown.

 TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS How to Proceed with Trouble Diagnosis

1. The most important point in performing trouble diagnosis of
malfunctions is to thoroughly understand the vehicle systems
(both control and mechanical).
An ECM-based engine controls actuators such as injectors and
the ignition coil according to information from sensors. Then
through actuator operation, the engine (mechanical system)
runs. Sensors transmit information on the running condition,
which changes constantly, to ECM. It is important to under-
stand these cycles.
ECM0031

2. It is also important to clarify customer concerns before starting

the inspection.
First of all, reproduce the symptom, and understand it fully.
Ask the customer about his/her concerns carefully. In some
cases, it will be necessary to check the symptoms by driving
the vehicle with the customer.

CAUTION:
Customers are not professionals. Do not assume “maybe the
customer means ...” or “maybe the customer mentioned this
ECM0032 symptom”.

3. It is essential to confirm symptoms right from the beginning in

order to ensure all malfunctions are completely repaired.
For an intermittent malfunction, it is important to reproduce the
symptom based on an interview with the customer and past
examples. Do not perform an inspection on an ad hoc basis.
Most intermittent malfunctions are caused by poor contacts. In
this case, it will be effective to shake the suspected harness or
connector by hand. When repairs are performed without any
symptom check, no one can judge if the malfunction has actu-
ally been eliminated.
ECM0033
4. The next important thing is to find which system among the
following is causing the malfunction: ECM control signal
system, or a mechanical system (such as the engine main body
and auxiliary component). It is important to inspect the system
using Service tool or by checking the ECM input/output signals.
When checking the ECM input/output signals, connect a check
adapter (Service tool) to ECM in order to prevent misdiagnosis.
Special Service Tools (Service tool):
Check adapter V (EG17530000) (for SMJ 150-pin con-
nector)
Harness adapter (EG17550200) (150-pin  121-pin
conversion adapter)
5. Use the reference value of input/output data (guideline) in this
manual in order to judge the ECM input/output signals. Measure
the data of another vehicle of the same model under the same
conditions when it is difficult to judge, and compare the data. It
is advisable to collect sufficient data of a normally operating
vehicle.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FLOW CHART
There are many different malfunction symptoms. So there is no
perfect trouble diagnosis technique applicable to all malfunctions.
Experience is also important to achieving an accurate trouble
diagnosis.
Nonetheless, an accurate trouble diagnosis can be performed by
applying similar procedures, regardless of the malfunction symptom.
Perform trouble diagnosis following the flow chart shown below.

ECM0035

DIAGNOSTIC WORK SHEET

Description
• In order to clarify the malfunction symptom, it is important to ask
the customer and collect information about their concerns.
• Ask the customer about what symptoms are present under what
conditions. Use the information to clarify the symptom.
• Use the trouble diagnosis sheet to be certain not to miss any
vital information.

Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning and

Idle Air Volume Learning
DESCRIPTION
If ECM disconnected, then implementation of the throttle valve
closed position learning is required.
If the electric throttle control actuator replaced or ECM replaced,
then both implementation of the throttle valve closed position
learning and the idle air volume learning are required in order for
adjusting the engine condition within specification.

OPERATION PROCEDURE FOR THROTTLE VALVE CLOSED

POSITION LEARNING
1. Turn ignition switch ONOFF. (And hold it for approximately 5
seconds after turning it OFF.)
2. Make sure that throttle valve operates. (Check for operating
sound.)
3. Upon completion of the above, learning is complete.

CAUTION:
Throttle valve closed position learning cannot be performed
with Service tool.

OPERATION PROCEDURE FOR IDLE AIR VOLUME LEARNING

1. Perform throttle valve closed position learning.
2. Fully warm up engine, transmission, and lubricant. [Engine
coolant temperature: 70 to 90°C (158 to 194°F)]
3. Set the selector lever to neutral or N position. Make sure that
the engine is free of electrical loads, such as air conditioner, oil
pressure pump, and other electrical components.
