HOW TO ERASE EMISSION-RELATED DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION
How to Erase DTC

WITH CONSULT-II

The emission related diagnostic information in the ECM can be erased by selecting “ERASE” in the “SELF-
DIAG RESULTS” mode with CONSULT-II.
If DTCs are displayed for both ECM and TCM (Transmission control module), they need to be erased individu-
ally from the ECM and TCM (Transmission control module).

NOTE:
If the DTC is not for A/T related items (see

EC-8, "INDEX FOR DTC"

), skip steps 2 through 4.

If the ignition switch stays ON after repair work, be sure to turn ignition switch OFF once. Wait at least 10
seconds and then turn it ON (engine stopped) again.

Turn CONSULT-II ON and touch “A/T”.

Touch “SELF-DIAG RESULTS”.

Touch “ERASE”. [The DTC in the TCM (Transmission control module) will be erased.] Then touch “BACK”
twice.

Touch “ENGINE”.

Touch “SELF-DIAG RESULTS”.

Touch “ERASE”. (The DTC in the ECM will be erased.)

WITH GST

The emission related diagnostic information in the ECM can be erased by selecting Service $04 with GST.

NOTE:
If the DTC is not for A/T related items (see

EC-8, "INDEX FOR DTC"

), skip step 2.

If the ignition switch stays ON after repair work, be sure to turn ignition switch OFF once.
Wait at least 10 seconds and then turn it ON (engine stopped) again.

NOTE:
If the DTC is not for A/T related items (see

Change the diagnostic test mode from Mode II to Mode I by depressing the accelerator pedal.
Refer to

EC-63, "HOW TO SWITCH DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE"

●

If the battery is disconnected, the emission-related diagnostic information will be lost within 24
hours.

●

The following data are cleared when the ECM memory is erased.

–

Diagnostic trouble codes

–

1st trip diagnostic trouble codes

–

Freeze frame data

–

1st trip freeze frame data

–

System readiness test (SRT) codes

–

Test values

Actual work procedures are explained using a DTC as an example. Be careful so that not only the DTC, but all
of the data listed above, are cleared from the ECM memory during work procedures.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)

NBS000MZ

DESCRIPTION

The MIL is located on the instrument panel.

The MIL will light up when the ignition switch is turned ON with-
out the engine running. This is a bulb check.
If the MIL does not light up, refer to

DI-21, "WARNING LAMPS"

or see

EC-683, "MIL AND DATA LINK CONNECTOR"

When the engine is started, the MIL should go off.
If the MIL remains on, the on board diagnostic system has
detected an engine system malfunction.

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM FUNCTION

The on board diagnostic system has the following three functions.

When there is an open circuit on MIL circuit, the ECM cannot warn the driver by lighting up MIL when there is
malfunction on engine control system.
Therefore, when electrical controlled throttle and part of ECM related diagnoses are continuously detected as
NG for 5 trips, ECM warns the driver that engine control system malfunctions and MIL circuit is open by means
of operating fail-safe function.
The fail-safe function also operates when above diagnoses except MIL circuit are detected and demands the
driver to repair the malfunction.

MIL Flashing Without DTC

When any SRT codes are not set, MIL may flash without DTC. For the details, refer to

EC-56, "How to Display

SRT Status"

HOW TO SWITCH DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE

NOTE:

●

It is better to count the time accurately with a clock.

●

It is impossible to switch the diagnostic mode when an accelerator pedal position sensor circuit
has a malfunction.

●

Always ECM returns to Diagnostic Test Mode I after ignition switch is turned OFF.

How to Set Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self-diagnostic Results)

Confirm that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch ON and wait 3 seconds.

Repeat the following procedure quickly five times within 5 seconds.

Fully depress the accelerator pedal.

Fully release the accelerator pedal.

Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 10 seconds until the MIL starts
blinking.

BULB CHECK

This function checks the MIL bulb for damage (blown,
open circuit, etc.).
If the MIL does not come on, check MIL circuit.

MALFUNCTION
WARNING

This is a usual driving condition. When a malfunction is
detected twice in two consecutive driving cycles (two trip
detection logic), the MIL will light up to inform the driver
that a malfunction has been detected.
The following malfunctions will light up or blink the MIL in
the 1st trip.

●

Misfire (Possible three way catalyst damage)

●

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM

NOTE:
Do not release the accelerator pedal for 10 seconds if MIL may start blinking on the halfway of this
10 seconds. This blinking is displaying SRT status and is continued for another 10 seconds. For
the details, refer to

EC-56, "How to Display SRT Status"

Fully release the accelerator pedal.
ECM has entered to Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self-diagnostic results).

NOTE:
Wait until the same DTC (or 1st trip DTC) appears to confirm all DTCs certainly.

How to Erase Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self-diagnostic Results)

Set ECM in Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self-diagnostic results).
Refer to

EC-63, "How to Set Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self-diagnostic Results)"

Fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for more than 10 seconds.
The emission-related diagnostic information has been erased from the backup memory in the ECM.

Fully release the accelerator pedal, and confirm the DTC 0000 is displayed.
