The programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI) system is a
sequential multiport fuel injection system.
When the ECM/PCM receives a demand for cooling
from the A/C system, it delays the compressor from
being energized, and enriches the mixture to assure
smooth transition to the A/C mode.
The A/F sensor operates over a wide air/fuel range. The
A/F sensor is installed upstream of the TWC, and sends
signals to the ECM/PCM which varies the duration of
fuel injection accordingly.
The BARO sensor is inside the ECM/PCM. It converts
atmospheric pressure into a voltage signal that
modifies the basic duration of the fuel injection
discharge.
CMP sensor B detects the position of the No. 1 cylinder
as a reference for sequential fuel injection to each
cylinder. The CKP sensor detects crankshaft speed and is used by
the ECM/PCM to determine the ignition timing, timing
for the fuel injection of each cylinder, and engine
misfire detection.
ECT sensors 1 and 2 are temperature dependent
resistors (thermistors). The resistance decreases as the
engine coolant temperature increases.
The ECM/PCM contains the memory for basic ignition
timing at various engine speeds and manifold absolute
pressures. It also adjusts the timing according to engine
coolant temperature and intake air temperature.
The ECM/PCM contains the memory for basic discharge
duration at various engine speeds and manifold
pressures. The basic discharge duration, after being
read out from the memory, is further modified by
signals sent from various sensors to obtain the final
discharge duration.
By monitoring long term fuel trim, the ECM/PCM
detects long term malfunctions in the fuel system and
sets diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) if needed.

DTC Troubleshooting (cont’d)
Cooling System Malfunction
NOTE: Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data
and any on-board snapshot, and review the general
troubleshooting information (see page 11-3).
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
3. Make sure the blower switch is OFF.
4. Check the FAN CTRL in the DATA LIST with the HDS.
Go to step 5.
Wait until the FAN CTRL is off, then go to step
5.
5. Check the radiator fan operation.
Check the radiator fan high speed circuit
(see page 10-26), and the radiator fan relay
(see page 22-70). If the circuit and the relay are OK,
go to step 19.
Go to step 6.
6. Let the engine cool until the coolant temperature is 40 °C (104 °F) or less.
7. Note the value of ECT SENSOR 1 and ECT SENSOR 2intheDATALISTwiththeHDS.
8. Start the engine, and let it idle.
9. Let the engine idle until ECT SENSOR 1 goes up 22 °C (40 °F) or more from the recorded
temperature.
10. Check ECT SENSOR 2 in the DATA LIST with the HDS. 11. Compare the recorded value of ECT SENSOR 2 and
the present value of ECT SENSOR 2.
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this
time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals
at ECT sensor 1, ECT sensor 2, and the ECM/PCM.
Test the thermostat (see page 10-5), then go
to step 12.
12. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
13. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
14. Let the engine cool until the coolant temperature is between 6 °C (21 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F).
15. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see page 11-310).
16. Test-drive at a steady speed between 24 120 km/h (15 75 mph) for 10 minutes.
17. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Check the cooling system (see page 10-2),
then go to step 1.
Go to step 18.
18. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0128 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Troubleshooting is complete. If any other
Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in step 17,
go to the indicated DTC’s troubleshooting.
If the screen indicates FAILED, check the
coolingsystem(seepage10-2),thengotostep1.If
the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step
14.

Automatic Transmission
Stall Speed Test
A
1. Make sure the transmission fluid is filled to the
proper level (see page 14-231).
2. Apply the parking brake, and block all four wheels.
3. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A) located under the driver’s side of the dashboard.
4. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and go to the A/T Data List. Make sure the HDS communicates with
the PCM. If it does not, go to the DLC circuit
troubleshooting (see page 11- 204).
5. Make sure the A/C switch is OFF.
6. Start the engine, and warm it up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on).
7. Shift to D while pressing the brake pedal firmly, then fully press the accelerator pedal for
6 to 8 seconds, and note the engine speed. Do not
move the shift lever or remove your foot off the
brake pedal while raising the engine speed.
8. Allow 2 minutes for cooling, then repeat the test in SandR.
NOTE: Do not test the stall speed for more than 10 seconds at a time.
 The stall speed tests should be used for diagnostic purposes only.
 Stall speed test results should be the same with the shift lever in D, S, and R.
 Do not test the stall speed with the A/T oil pressure gauges installed. 9. If the stall speeds are out of the service limit, the
problems and probable causes are listed in the
table.
