When all SRT related self-diagnoses showed OK results in a single cycle (Ignition OFF-ON-OFF), the SRT will

indicate “CMPLT”. 

→ Case 1 above

When all SRT related self-diagnoses showed OK results through several different cycles, the SRT will indicate

“CMPLT” at the time the respective self-diagnoses have at least one OK result. 

→ Case 2 above

If one or more SRT related self-diagnoses showed NG results in 2 consecutive cycles, the SRT will also indi-

cate “CMPLT”. 

→ Case 3 above

The table above shows that the minimum number of cycles for setting SRT as “INCMP” is one (1) for each

self-diagnosis (Case 1 & 2) or two (2) for one of self-diagnoses (Case 3). However, in preparation for the state

emissions inspection, it is unnecessary for each self-diagnosis to be executed twice (Case 3) for the following

reasons:

• The SRT will indicate “CMPLT” at the time the respective self-diagnoses have one (1) OK result.

• The emissions inspection requires “CMPLT” of the SRT only with OK self-diagnosis results.

• When, during SRT driving pattern, 1st trip DTC (NG) is detected prior to “CMPLT” of SRT, the self-diagnosis

memory must be erased from ECM after repair.

• If the 1st trip DTC is erased, all the SRT will indicate “INCMP”.

NOTE:

SRT can be set as “CMPLT” together with the DTC(s). Therefore, DTC check must always be carried out

prior to the state emission inspection even though the SRT indicates “CMPLT”.

SRT Service Procedure

If a vehicle has failed the state emissions inspection due to one or more SRT items indicating “INCMP”, review

the flowchart diagnostic sequence on the next figure.

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM

How to Display SRT Status

WITH CONSULT-III

Selecting “SRT STATUS” in “DTC CONFIRMATION” mode with CONSULT-III.

For items whose SRT codes are set, a “CMPLT” is displayed on the CONSULT-III screen; for items whose

SRT codes are not set, “INCMP” is displayed.

NOTE:

Though displayed on the CONSULT-III screen, “HO2S HTR” is not SRT item.

WITH GST

Selecting Service $01 with GST (Generic Scan Tool)

 NO TOOLS

A SRT code itself can not be displayed while only SRT status can be.
1. Turn ignition switch ON and wait 20 seconds.
2. SRT status is indicated as shown below.

• When all SRT codes are set, MIL lights up continuously.

• When any SRT codes are not set, MIL will flash periodically for 10 seconds.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL)

Description

The MIL is located on the instrument panel.
1. 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 

EC-968, "Component Func-

tion Check"

.

2. 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.

EC-648

< FUNCTION DIAGNOSIS >

[QR25DE EXCEPT FOR CALIFORNIA]

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM

Diagnostic Test Mode I — Bulb Check

In this mode, the MIL on the instrument panel should stay ON. If it remains OFF, check the bulb. Refer to 

EC-

968, "Description"

.

Diagnostic Test Mode I — Malfunction Warning

This DTC number is clarified in Diagnostic Test Mode II (SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS)

Diagnostic Test Mode II — Self-diagnostic Results

In this mode, the DTC and 1st trip DTC are indicated by the number of blinks of the MIL as shown below.

The DTC and 1st trip DTC are displayed at the same time. If the MIL does not illuminate in diagnostic test

mode I (Malfunction warning), all displayed items are 1st trip DTCs. If only one code is displayed when the MIL

illuminates in diagnostic test mode II (SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS), it is a DTC; if two or more codes are

displayed, they may be either DTCs or 1st trip DTCs. DTC No. is same as that of 1st trip DTC. These uniden-

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 de-
tected twice in two consecutive driving cycles (two trip de-
tection 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)
• One trip detection diagnoses

Mode II

Ignition switch in 
ON position 

Engine stopped

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC
RESULTS

This function allows DTCs and 1st trip DTCs to be read.

Condition

ON

When the malfunction is detected.
