Fuel and Emissions Systems
System Descriptions
Electronic Control System
The functions of the fuel and emlssion control systems are managed by the engine control module (ECM).
Fail-safe Function
When an abnormality occurs in the signal from a sensor, the ECI\4 ignores that signal and assumes a pre-programmed
value for that sensor that allows the enqine to continue to run.
Back-up Function
When an abnormality occurs in the ECM, the injectors are controlled by a back-up circuit independent of the system to
permit minimal driving.
Self-diagnosis
When an abnormality occurs in the signal from a sensor, the ECM supplies ground for the malfunction indicator lamp
{MlL) and stores the diagnostic trouble code {DTC) in erasable memory. When the ignition is first turned on, the EClvl
supplies ground to the l\4lL for 15 to 20 seconds to check the M lL bulb condition.
Two Driving Cycle Detection Method
To prevent false indications, the "two driving cycle detection method" is used for some self-diagnostic functions.
When an abnormality occurs, the ECM stores it in its memory. When the same abnormality recurs afterthe ignition
switch is turned OFF and ON (ll) again, the ECM turns on the MlL.

ECM Data
You can retrieve data from the ECI\4 by connecting the OBD ll scan tool or the Honda PGM Tester to the data link
connector (DLC). The items listed in the table below conform to SAE recommended practice. The Honda PGM Tester
also reads data beyond that recommended by SAE to help you find the causes of intermittent problems.
The "operating values" listed are approximate and may vary depending on the environment and the individual
vehicle.
Unless noted otherwise, "at idle speed" means idling with the engine completely warmed up in the neutral position,
and the A,/C and all
Diagnostic
Trouble Code(DTC}
lf the ECM delects a problem, it will store it as a code
consisting of one letter and four numbers. Depending on
the problem, an SAE-defined code (Poxxx) or a Honda,
defined code {P1xxx) will be output to the tester.
The ECI\4 computes engine speed from the signals sent
from the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor. This data is
used for determining the time and amount of injected fuel.

lgnition Timing Control
The ECM contains the memory for basic ignition timing
at various engine speeds and manifold absolute
pressure. lt also adjusts the timing according to engine
coolant temperature.
Iniector Timing and Duration
The ECM 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 detects long
term malfunctions in the fuel system and sets a
Diagnostic Trouble Code {DTC).
Intake Air Temperature (lAT) Sensor
The IAT sensor is a temperature dependent resistor
{thermistor). The resistance of the thermistor decreases
as the intake air temDerature increases.
Knock Sensor
The knock control system adjusts the ignition timing to
minimize knock.
PIEZOCERAMIC
Malfunction Indicator Lamp lMlLl Indication {ln relation
to Readiness Codes)
The vehicle has certain "readiness codes" that are part
of the on-board diagnostics for the emissions systems.
lf the vehicle's baftery has been disconnected or gone
dead. if the DTCS have been cleared, or if the ECM has
been reset. these codes are set to incomplete. In some
states, part of the emissions testing is to make sure
these codes are set to comDlete. lf all of them are not
set to complete, the vehicle may fail the test and the
test cannot be finished.
To check if the readiness codes are set to complete,
turn the ignition switch ON (ll). but do not start the
engine.TheMILwill comeonforlS 20seconds. lf it
then goes off, the readiness codes are set to complete,
lf it blinks severaltimes, one or more readiness codes
are not set to comolete. To set each code, drive the
