TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS Ð GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ECM Terminals and Reference Value (Cont'd)
EC-131

DescriptionNBEC0717The specification (SP) value indicates the tolerance of the value that is displayed in ªDATA MONITOR (SPEC)º
mode of CONSULT-II during normal operation of the Engine Control System. When the value in ªDATA MONI-
TOR (SPEC)º mode is within the SP value, the Engine Control System is confirmed OK. When the value in
ªDATA MONITOR (SPEC)º mode is NOT within the SP value, the Engine Control System may have one or
more malfunctions.
The SP value is used to detect malfunctions that may affect the Engine Control System, but will not light the
MIL.
The SP value will be displayed for the following three items:
IB/FUEL SCHDL (The fuel injection pulse width programmed into ECM prior to any learned on board cor-
rection)
IA/F ALPHA-B1/B2 (The mean value of air-fuel ratio feedback correction factor per cycle)
IMAS A/F SE-B1 (The signal voltage of the mass air flow sensor)
Testing ConditionNBEC0718IVehicle driven distance: More than 5,000 km (3,100 miles)
IBarometric pressure: 101.3 kPa (760.0 mmHg, 29.92 inHg)±3 kPa (22.5 mmHg, 0.89 inHg)
IAtmospheric temperature: 20 - 30ÉC (68 - 86ÉF)
IEngine coolant temperature: 75 - 95ÉC (167 - 203ÉF)

IEngine speed: Idle
*1: For A/T models, after the engine is warmed up to normal operating temperature, drive vehicle until ªFLUID
TEMP SEº (A/T fluid temperature sensor signal) indicates less than 0.9V.

ating. Steering wheel is straight ahead.

Inspection ProcedureNBEC0719NOTE:
Perform ªDATA MONITOR (SPEC)º mode in maximum scale dis-
play.
1. Perform ªBasic Inspectionº, EC-101.
2. Confirm that the testing conditions indicated above are met.
3. Select ªB/FUEL SCHDLº, ªA/F ALPHA-B1º, ªA/F ALPHA-B2º
and ªMAS A/F SE-B1º in ªDATA MONITOR (SPEC)º mode with
CONSULT-II.
4. Make sure that monitor items are within the SP value.
5. If NG, go to ªDiagnostic Procedureº, EC-137.
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS Ð SPECIFICATION VALUE
Description
EC-136

DescriptionNBEC0045Intermittent incidents (I/I) may occur. In many cases, the problem resolves itself (the part or circuit function
returns to normal without intervention). It is important to realize that the symptoms described in the custom-
er's complaint often do not recur on (1st trip) DTC visits. Realize also that the most frequent cause of I/I
occurrences is poor electrical connections. Because of this, the conditions under which the incident occurred
may not be clear. Therefore, circuit checks made as part of the standard diagnostic procedure may not indi-
cate the specific problem area.
COMMON I/I REPORT SITUATIONSNBEC0045S01

II The CONSULT-II is used. The SELF-DIAG RESULTS screen shows time data other than ª0º or ª[1t]º.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT
Description

SEF958Y
Component DescriptionNBEC0050The mass air flow sensor is placed in the stream of intake air. It
measures the intake flow rate by measuring a part of the entire
intake flow. It consists of a hot film that is supplied with electric
current from the ECM. The temperature of the hot film is controlled
by the ECM a certain amount. The heat generated by the hot film
is reduced as the intake air flows around it. The more air, the
greater the heat loss.
Therefore, the ECM must supply more electric current to maintain
the temperature of the hot film as air flow increases. The ECM
detects the air flow by means of this current change.
