Inspection procedure

Inspection procedure

  1. Check output value of ecm.
  1.  Connect the hand–held tester to dlc3.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to on and push the hand–held tester main switch on.
  3.  Select the data list mode on the hand–held tester.

(Reference) inspection using oscilloscope

  1.  check the input signal waveform.
  1.  Remove the combination meter assy with connectors still connected.
  2.  Connect the oscilloscope to the terminals c9–19 of combination meter assy and body ground.
  3.  Start engine.
  4.  Check the signal waveform.

3 Check harness and connector(between ecm and combination

3 Check harness and connector(between ecm and combination meter assy)

  1. Remove the combination meter.
  2.  check the continuity between terminals 5 (tach) of ecm and c9–19 of combination meter connector.

Standard: there is continuity.

Check and replace ecm

    Circuit description
    The intake air temperature (iat) sensor, mounted on the mass air flow (maf) sensor, 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 thermisto ...

    Temporarily engaged gear steps selection mode in the D position
    To drive in temporary gear steps selection mode, operate the “-” and “+” paddle shift switches. The gear steps can then be selected by operating the “-” and “+” paddle shift switches. By selecting gear step using paddle shift switches, you can control engine braking forces. 1 ...

    Check mode procedure
    Hint: hand–held tester only: compared to the normal mode, the check mode has more sensing ability to detect malfunctions. Furthermore, the same diagnostic items which are detected in the normal mode can also be detected in the check mode. 1. Check mode procedure(using the hand–held tester) ...
