Basic Multiport Fuel Injection SystemNBEC0014S02The amount of fuel injected from the fuel injector is determined by the ECM. The ECM controls the length of
time the valve remains open (injection pulse duration). The amount of fuel injected is a program value in the
ECM memory. The program value is preset by engine operating conditions. These conditions are determined
by input signals (for engine speed and intake air) from both the crankshaft position sensor and the mass air
flow sensor.
Various Fuel Injection Increase/Decrease CompensationNBEC0014S03In addition, the amount of fuel injected is compensated to improve engine performance under various oper-
ating conditions as listed below.

2. Turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 10 seconds.
3. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
4. Check that all items listed under the topic ªPRE-CONDITION-
INGº (previously mentioned) are in good order.
5. Turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 10 seconds.
6. Start the engine and let it idle for at least 30 seconds.
7. Disconnect throttle position sensor harness connector (brown),
then reconnect it within 5 seconds.
8. Wait 20 seconds.
9. Make sure that idle speed is within specifications. If not, the
result will be incomplete. In this case, find the cause of the
problem by referring to the NOTE below.
10. Rev up the engine two or three times. Make sure that idle
speed and ignition timing are within specifications.
ITEM SPECIFICATION
Idle speed 750±50 rpm (in ªPº or ªNº position)
Ignition timing 15ɱ5É BTDC (in ªPº or ªNº position)
NOTE:
If idle air volume learning cannot be performed successfully,
proceed as follows:
1)Check that throttle valve is fully closed.
2)Check PCV valve operation.
3)Check that downstream of throttle valve is free from air
leakage.
4)Adjust closed throttle position switch and reset memory.
(Refer to Basic Inspection, EC-101.)
5)When the above four items check out OK, engine compo-
nent parts and their installation condition are question-
able. Check and eliminate the cause of the problem.
It is useful to perform ªTROUBLE DIAGNOSIS Ð SPECIFI-
CATION VALUEº, EC-136.
6)If any of the following conditions occur after the engine
has started, eliminate the cause of the problem and per-
form ªIdle air volume learningº all over again:
IEngine stalls.
IErroneous idle.
IBlown fuses related to the IACV-AAC valve system.

MALFUNCTION
WARNINGThis is a usual driving condition. When a malfunction is
detected twice in two consecutive driving cycles (two trip
detection logic), the MIL will light up to inform the driver
that a malfunction has been detected.
The following malfunctions will light up or blink the MIL in
the 1st trip.
ICoolant overtemperature enrichment protection
IªMisfire (Possible three way catalyst damage)º
IªClosed loop controlº
IFail-safe mode
Diagnostic Test Mode I Ð Bulb CheckNBEC0032S03In this mode, the MIL on the instrument panel should stay ON. If it remains OFF, check the bulb. Refer to
EL-114, ªWARNING LAMPSº or see EC-648.
Diagnostic Test Mode I Ð Malfunction WarningNBEC0032S04
MIL Condition
ON When the malfunction is detected or the ECM's CPU is malfunctioning.
OFF No malfunction.
OBD System Operation ChartNBEC0033RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MIL, 1ST TRIP DTC, DTC, AND DETECTABLE ITEMSNBEC0033S01IWhen a malfunction is detected for the first time, the 1st trip DTC and the 1st trip freeze frame data are
stored in the ECM memory.
IWhen the same malfunction is detected in two consecutive trips, the DTC and the freeze frame data are
stored in the ECM memory, and the MIL will come on. For details, refer to ªTwo Trip Detection Logicº on
EC-59.
IThe MIL will go off after the vehicle is driven 3 times with no malfunction. The drive is counted only when
the recorded driving pattern is met (as stored in the ECM). If another malfunction occurs while counting,
the counter will reset.
IThe DTC and the freeze frame data will be stored until the vehicle is driven 40 times (driving pattern A)
without the same malfunction recurring (except for Misfire and Fuel Injection System). For Misfire and Fuel
Injection System, the DTC and freeze frame data will be stored until the vehicle is driven 80 times (driv-
ing pattern C) without the same malfunction recurring. The ªTIMEº in ªSELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTSº
mode of CONSULT-II will count the number of times the vehicle is driven.
IThe 1st trip DTC is not displayed when the self-diagnosis results in ªOKº for the 2nd trip.

automatically on CONSULT-II screen even though a malfunc-
tion is detected by ECM.
DATA MONITOR can be performed continuously even though
a malfunction is detected.
Use these triggers as follows:
1) ªAUTO TRIGº
IWhile trying to detect the DTC/1st trip DTC by performing the
ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº, be sure to select to ªDATA
MONITOR (AUTO TRIG)º mode. You can confirm the malfunc-
tion at the moment it is detected.
IWhile narrowing down the possible causes, CONSULT-II
should be set in ªDATA MONITOR (AUTO TRIG)º mode, espe-
cially in case the incident is intermittent.
When you are inspecting the circuit by gently shaking (or twist-
ing) the suspicious connectors, components and harness in
the ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº, the moment a malfunction
is found the DTC/1st trip DTC will be displayed. (Refer to
GI-36, ªIncident Simulation Testsº.)
2) ªMANU TRIGº
IIf the malfunction is displayed as soon as ªDATA MONITORº
is selected, reset CONSULT-II to ªMANU TRIGº. By selecting
ªMANU TRIGº you can monitor and store the data. The data
can be utilized for further diagnosis, such as a comparison with
the value for the normal operating condition.
