NOTE:
. lf a customer described the symptom for code Pl706 (6), it will be necessary to recreate the symptom by test driving,
then recheck the DTC.
. iometimes, tfre E indicator light and the Malfunction Indicator lamp (MlL) may come on simultaneously lf so, repair
the PGM-Fl system accordrng to the DTC, then reset the memory by removing the BACK UP RADIO fuse in the under-
hood fuse/relay box for more than 10 seconds. Drive the car for several minutes at a speed over 30 mph {50 km/h)' then
recheck the DTC.

Troubleshooting Precautions
ABS Indicator Light
I The ABS indicator light comes on when the ABS control unit detects a problem in the system. However, even thoughthe system is normal, the ABs indicator light can come on, too, under the following conditions. To determine theactual cause of the problem, question the customer about the problem, taking the following conditions into consider-ation.
. Signal disturbance
. Wheel soin
. Only drive wheels rotate. Battery voltage fluctuates
2. When a problem is detected and the ABS indicator light comes on, the indicator light can stay on untat the ignitionswitch is turned off, or it can automatically go off, depending on the mode.. Lightstayson until the ignition switch isturned off;When the system is inthesvstem down mode.o Light automatically goes off:When the system is in the control inhibition mode.(refer to symptom-to-system chart)3 The ABS indicator light stays on when the system is reactivated without erasing the DTC, but it goes off after startingthe car.
when the wheel sensor system is faulty and the ABS indicator light comes on, the algorithm of the system automaticallyturns off the ABS indicator light after the wheel speed signal returns to the normal speed. while, when the DTC is erased,the CPU is reset and the ABS indicator light goes off when the system check€d out normal by the initial diagnosis.Therefore, test-drive the car after servicing the wheel sensor system, and be sure that the ABS indicator light does notcome on.
4. When the ABS control unit outputs battery voltage to the gauge assembty, the ABS indicator light goes off.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
1. The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is memorized when a problem is detected and the ABS indicator light does not gooff, or when the ABS indicator light comes on.The DTC is not memorized when the ABs indicator right comes on unress the cpU is activated.2. The memory can hold any number of DTCs. However, when the same DTc is detected twice or more, the later one iswritten over the old one.
Therefore. when the same problem is detected repeatedly, it is recorded as one DTC.3. The DTCS are indicated in the order of ascending number, not in the order thev occur.4. The DTCS are memorized in the EEpROM {non-volatile memorv}.Therefore, the memorized DTCS cannot be canceled by disconnecting the battery. perform the specified orocedures toerase.
Solf-diagnosis
1. The self-diagnosis can be classifield into these four categories:' Initial diagnosis; Performed right after the engine sta rts and untiltheABs indicator light goes off.o Except ABS control: Performed when the ABS is not functioning,. During ABS control: Performed when the ABS is functioning.. During warning: Performed when the ABS indicator light is ON.2 The system performs the following controls when a problem is detected by the self-diagnosis:. ABS indicator light ON. Memory of DTC

Self-diagnosis Function
The heater control panel has a self-diagnosis function.
Running the Self-diagnosis Funqtion
Set the mode control dial to the Vent position, and turn the ignition switch ON fll). Within six seconds after turnang the igni_tion switch on. press the recirculation control switch the required number of times depending on the recirculation indicatorlight status:
.lftheindicatorlightisON,presstherecirculationcontrolswitchfivetrmes.
.lftheindicatorlightisOFF,presstherecirculationcontrol switch six rrmes.The recirculation indicator light will come on for two seconds. then blink the Diagnostic Trouble code {DTc} to indicate afaulty component. lf no DTc's are found, the indicator light will not blink after the initial two second liqht.

NOTE; The air temoerature must be between 59 and
100'F (15 and 38"C) before testing.
Recommended Procedure:
. Use a staner system tester.
. Connect and operate the equipment in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
. Test and troubleshoot as described,
Alternate Procedurg:
. Use the following equipment:- Ammeter, 0 - 400 A
- Voltmeter, 0 - 20 V (accurate within 0.1 volt)
- Tachometer, 0 - 1,200 rpm
. Hook up a voltmeter and ammeter as shown.
NEGATIVETERMINAL
NOTE: After this test, or any subsequent repair. reset
the ECM/PCM to clear any codes (see section l1)
Check the Start€r Engagemont:
1. Remove the No. 44 (15 A) fuse from the under-hood
fuse/relay box,
2. Turn the ignition switch to START (llll with the shift
lever in E or E position (rVT) or with the clutch pedal
depressed {M/T). The starter should crank the engine.
. lf the starter does not crank the engine, go to
step 3.
. lf itcranksthe engineerraticallyortooslowly, go
to "Check for Wear and Damage" on the next
page.

ness and corrosion, Test again.
lf the starter still does not crank the engine, go to
step 4,
Unplug the connector (BLK,/WHT wire and solenoid
terminal) from the starter,
Connect a jumper wire from the battery positive (+)
terminal to the solenoid terminal.
The starter should crank the engine.
. lf the starter still does not crank the engine,
remove it, and diagnose its internal problem
. lf the startercranksthe engine, goto step 6.
Check the ignition switch (see page 23-891.
Check the starter cut relay and clutch interlock switch
