System Description
The functions of the fuel and emission control systems are managed by the engine control module (ECM) on vehicles
with manual transmissions or the powertrain control module (PCM) on vehicles with automatic transmissions.
The ECM/PCM detects a failure of a signal from a sensor or another control unit and stores a Temporary DTC or a DTC.
Depending on the failure, a DTC is stored in either the first or the second drive cycle (K20Z3 engine: DTC P0457, turns
on the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the third drive cycle). When a DTC is stored, the ECM/PCM turns on the
malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) by a signal sent to the gauge via F-CAN.  When an abnormality occurs in the signal from a sensor or from another control unit, the ECM/PCM stores a DTC
and turns on the MIL immediately.
 When an abnormality occurs in the signal from a sensor or from another control unit in the first drive cycle, the
ECM/PCM stores a Temporary DTC. If the failure continues in the second drive cycle, the ECM/PCM stores a DTC and
turns on the MIL.
When an abnormality occurs in the signal from a sensor or another control unit, the ECM/PCM ignores the signal and
substitutes a pre-programmed value that allows the engine to continue running. This causes a DTC to be stored and
the MIL to come on.
When the ignition switch is turned to ON (II), the ECM/PCM turns on the MIL via the F-CAN circuit for about 15 to
20 seconds to check the bulb condition. If any readiness codes are not set to complete, the MIL flashes five times. If all
readiness codes are set to complete, the MIL goes off.
After the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0), the ECM/PCM stays on (about 30 minutes). If the ECM/PCM connector is
disconnected during this time, the ECM/PCM may be damaged. To cancel this mode, disconnect the negative cable
from the battery or jump the SCS line with the HDS after the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0).

The knock control system adjusts the ignition timing to
minimize knock.
The MAP sensor converts manifold absolute pressure
into electrical signals to the ECM/PCM.
The vehicle has certain readiness codes that are part of
the on-board diagnostics for the emissions systems. If
the vehicle’s battery has been disconnected or gone
dead, if the DTCs have been cleared, or if the ECM/PCM
has been reset, these codes are reset. In some states,
part of the emissions testing is to make sure these
codes are set to complete. If all of them are not set to
complete, the vehicle may fail the test, or the test
cannot be finished.
To check if the readiness codes are set to complete,
turn the ignition switch to ON (II), but do not start the
engine. The MIL will come on for 15 20 seconds. If it
then goes off, the readiness codes are complete. If it
flashes five times, one or more readiness codes are not
complete. To set each code, drive the vehicle or run the
engine as described in the procedures (see page 11-69). The mass air flow (MAF) sensor/intake air temperature
(IAT) sensor contains a hot wire sensor, a cold wire
sensor, and a thermistor. It is located in the intake air
passage. The resistance of the hot wire sensor, the cold
wire sensor, and the thermistor change due to intake air
temperature and air flow. The control circuit in the MAF
sensor controls the current to keep the hot wire at a set
temperature. The current is converted to voltage in the
control circuit, then output to the ECM/PCM.
This sensor detects countershaft speed.

System Description (cont’d)
A
Shows CHECK FUEL CAP
in the gauge display.
The ECM/PCM detects a loose or missing fuel fill cap as
an evaporative system leak, and alarts the driver by
showing a warning message in the gauge display.
The first time a leak is detected a CHECK FUEL CAP
message is shown in the gauge display (A). To scroll to
another message, press the select/reset button. The
CHECK FUEL CAP message appears each time you
restart the engine until the system turns the message
off. Turn the engine off, then replace or tighten the fuel
fill cap until it clicks at least once.
1. Tighten the fuel fill cap until it clicks.
2. Clear the Temporary DTC with the HDS.
3. Verify there is no leak by doing the EVAP
FUNCTION TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with
the HDS.
1. Tighten the fuel fill cap until it clicks.
2. The message should go off after s everal days of
normal driving.
1. Tighten the fuel fill cap until it clicks.
2. Start the engine, then turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
3. Repeat step 2 two more times.

Procedure

How to Set Readiness Codes
The vehicle has certain readiness codes that are part of
the on-board diagnostics for the emissions systems. If
the vehicle’s battery has been disconnected or gone
dead, if the DTCs have been cleared, or if the ECM/PCM
has been reset, these readiness codes are reset to
incomplete. In some states, part of the emissions
testing is to make sure these codes are set to complete.
If all of them are not set to complete, the vehicle may
fail the emission test, or the test cannot be finished.
To check if the readiness codes are set to complete,
turn the ignition switch to ON (II), but do not start the
engine. The MIL will come on for 15 20 seconds. If it
then goes off, the readiness codes are set to complete.
If it flashes five times, one or more readiness codes are
not set to complete. To set readiness codes from
incomplete to complete, do the procedure for the
appropriate code.
To check the status of a specific DTC system, check the
OBD status in the DTC MENU with the HDS (see page
11-8). This screen displays the code, the current data list
of the enable criteria, and the status of the readiness
testing. NOTE:
 Do not turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) or ACC (I) during the procedure.
 All readiness codes are cleared when the battery is disconnected, if the DTCs have been cleared, or if the
ECM/PCM is reset with the HDS.
 Low ambient temperatures or excessive stop-and-go traffic may increase the drive time needed to switch
the readiness code from incomplete to complete.
 The readiness code will not switch to complete until all the enable criteria are met.
 If a fault in the secondary HO2S system caused the MIL to come on, the readiness code cannot be set to
complete until you correct the fault.
 ECT SENSOR 1 at 70 °C (158 °F) or more.
 IAT SENSOR at 7 °C (20 °F) or more.
 Vehicle speed (VSS) above 40 km/h (25 mph). 1. Connect the HDS to the vehicle’s data link connector (DLC), and bring up the READINESS
CODEs screen for Catalyst in the DTCs MENU.
2. Start the engine.
3. Test-drive the vehicle under stop-and-go conditions with short periods of steady cruise. After about
8 km (5 miles), the readiness code should switch to
complete.
4. If the readiness code is still not set to complete, check for a Temporary DTC with the HDS. If there is
no DTC, one or more of the enable criteria were
probably not met; repeat the procedure.
