6E-152 EMISSION AND ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSIS

Troubleshooting

Caution taken in inspecting

1. In inspecting system, write down Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) to be indicated. 

(especially, when plural self-diagnosis codes are indicated.)

2. Before eliminating the indicated DTC by a memory clear switch, doubly inspect abnormal place as indicated in

DTC. 

Inspection Procedure Flowchart (Diagnostic System Check)

Notice:
Please note that some items of DTC may not be generated unless the engine is warmed up or unless the vehicle is
driven under load.

Self-diagnosis Functions

Memorization of diagnostic trouble code
The self-diagnosis code indicated will be memorized in
Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Mem-
ory (EEPROM) with in the Engine Control Module
(ECM). 
Accordingly even if the starter switch turns off or the
ECM is removed from the vehicle, the memorized self-
diagnosis code will not be eliminated.

* Unless an elimination procedure is taken, the diagnos-
tic trouble code (DTC) will remain in memory. (The
memory will be eliminated only by a memory clear
switch.)
Elimination of diagnostic trouble code
The DTC memorized in the EEPROM with in the ECM
can be eliminated only by the operation of the memory
clear switch. The elimination method memory clear
switch will be described below:

N6A1297E

EMISSION AND ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSIS 6E-153

1. Turn OFF ignition switch.
2. Use 4.7k

Ω resistance and make short circuit on

memory clear switch.

3. Turn ON ignition switch. The indication lamp turn

on (lighting) continuously after three seconds
flashing the indication lamp.

4. Turn OFF ignition switch.
5. Remove shortage resistance from memory clear

switch.

How to read flashing of the indicator lamp:
The two-digit diagnosis code flashes starting from ten’s
figure to indicate the diagnosis code. 
Please read the diagnosis code from the flashing. 
If the plural diagnosis codes are indicated, the same di-
agnosis code is flashed repeatedly in steps of three
times. 
Please read it correctly.

• Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) outputting is done

in decreasingly order of DTC number.

• Indication is changed over on completion of output

DTC indication.

• DTC indicator is stopped with diagnostic switch be-

ing off.

• When there is no DTC output, -12+ is outputted in

normal DTC code.

• After indicating 3 times pear 1 DTC, shift is con-

ducted to the next DTC. (After making a round, the
indications are repeated again.)

• In case of the same diagnostic code, it is used 1

DTC (3 times indication.)
