Malfunction indicator
circuit Engine speed will not rise
more than 2,500 rpm due
to the fuel cut When there is an open circuit on MIL circuit, the ECM cannot warn
the driver by illuminating 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 the fail-safe function.
The fail-safe function also operates when above diagnoses except
MIL circuit are detected and demands the driver to repair the malfunc-
tion. EC-515

(When electric throttle control actuator does not function properly due to the return spring
malfunction:)
ECM controls the electric throttle actuator by regulating the throttle opening around the
idle position. The engine speed will not rise more than 2,000 rpm.
(When throttle valve opening angle in fail-safe mode is not in specified range:)
ECM controls the electric throttle control actuator because of regulating the throttle open-
ing to 20 degrees or less.
(When ECM detects the throttle valve is stuck open:)
While the vehicle is being driven, it slows down gradually by fuel cut. After the vehicle
stops, the engine stalls.
The engine can restart in the N or P position, and engine speed will not exceed 1,000 rpm
or more.
