DTC DETECTION LOGIC
With the Air/Fuel Mixture Ratio Self-Learning Control, the actual mixture ratio can be brought closely to the theoretical mixture ratio based on the mixture ratio feedback signal from A/F sensor 1. The ECM calculates the necessary compensation to correct the offset between the actual and the theoretical ratios.
In case the amount of the compensation value is extremely large (the actual mixture ratio is too lean), the
ECM judges the condition as the fuel injection system malfunction and illuminates the MIL (2 trip detection logic).
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE 1.PRECONDITIONING
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always perform the following before conducting the next test.
Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
Turn ignition switch ON.
Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds. >> GO TO 2.
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> GO TO 4. 3.RESTART ENGINE
If it is difficult to start engine, the fuel injection system has a malfunction, too.
Crank engine while depressing accelerator pedal.
NOTE:
When depressing accelerator pedal three-fourths (3/4) or more, the control system does not start the engine. Do not depress accelerator pedal too much. Does engine start?
YES >> Go to Diagnosis Procedure.
NO >> Check exhaust and intake air leakage visually. 4.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE-II
Keep engine idle for at least 5 minutes.
Check 1st trip DTC. Is 1st trip DTC detected?
YES >> Go to Diagnosis Procedure.
NO >> GO TO 5. 5.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE-III
Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
Start engine.
Maintain the following conditions for at least 10 consecutive minutes. Hold the accelerator pedal as steady as possible.
CAUTION: Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
Check 1st trip DTC. Is 1st trip DTC detected?
YES >> Go to Diagnosis Procedure.
NO >> Inspection END
Diagnosis Procedure 1.CHECK EXHAUST GAS LEAKAGE
Start engine and run it at idle.
Listen for an exhaust gas leakage before three way catalyst (manifold).
Is exhaust gas leakage detected?
YES >> Repair or replace malfunctioning part.
NO >> GO TO 2. 2.CHECK FOR INTAKE AIR LEAKAGE
Listen for an intake air leakage after the mass air flow sensor.
Check PCV hose connection. Is intake air leakage detected?
YES >> Repair or replace malfunctioning part.
NO >> GO TO 3. 3.CHECK A/F SENSOR 1 INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT
At idling: Approximately 350 kPa (3.57 kg/cm2, 51 psi)
Is the Inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 6.
NO >> GO TO 5.
DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART Check fuel hoses and fuel tubes for clogging.
Is the Inspection result normal?
YES >> Replace "fuel filter and fuel pump assembly".
NO >> Repair or replace malfunctioning part. 6.CHECK MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR With CONSULT-III
Is the measurement value within the specification?
YES >> GO TO 7.
NO >> Check connectors for rusted terminals or loose connections in the mass air flow sensor circuit or ground. Refer to See: P0102. 7.CHECK FUNCTION OF FUEL INJECTOR With CONSULT-III
Start engine.
Perform "POWER BALANCE" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode with CONSULT-III.
Check that each circuit produces a momentary engine speed drop. With GST
Let engine idle.
Listen to each fuel injector operating sound. Is the Inspection result normal?
