Acura RL. Manual - part 84

Conditions for illuminating the MIL

When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and the DTC and the freeze frame data are stored in the
PCM memory.

Conditions for clearing the MIL

The MIL will be cleared if the malfunction does not recur during three consecutive trips in which the
diagnostic runs.

The MIL, the DTC, and the freeze frame data can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear command or by
disconnecting the battery.

General Description

Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor 2 is a thermistor attached to the radiator side of the coolant
manifold. The powertrain control module (PCM) applies voltage (about 5 V) to the ECT2 signal circuit

through a pull-up resistor. As the engine coolant temperature cools, ECT sensor 2 resistance increases, and
the PCM detects a high signal voltage. As the engine coolant warms, sensor resistance decreases, and the
PCM detects a low ECT2 signal voltage.

If the ECT sensor 2 output voltage is more than a set value when the engine coolant temperature is low, the
PCM detects a malfunction and a DTC is stored.

Fig. 272: A/F Sensor Misinstalled Malfunction With Malfunction Diagnosis

General Description

When the rear air/fuel ratio (A/F) sensor (bank 1, sensor 1) is properly connected to the engine wire harness,
but it is not installed in the exhaust pipe, the A/F feedback is not performed properly even if the rear A/F
sensor is active after starting the engine. Thus, the exhaust emissions increase.

When the rear A/F sensor output stays out of the normal range after the rear A/F sensor becomes active, the
powertrain control module (PCM) detects that the rear A/F sensor is not properly installed and a DTC is
stored.
