TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS - SPECIFICATION VALUE
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006217760
The specification (SP) value indicates the tolerance of
the value that is displayed in “SPEC” in “DATA MONI-
TOR” mode of CONSULT-III during normal operation of the Engine Control System. When the value in “SPEC”
in “DATA MONITOR” mode is within the SP value, t he Engine Control System is confirmed OK. When the
value in “SPEC” in “DATA MONITOR” mode is NOT wit hin 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 illuminate
the MIL.
The SP value will be displayed for the following items:
 B/FUEL SCHDL (The fuel injection pulse width programmed into ECM prior to any learned on board correc- tion)
 A/F ALPHA-B1/B2 (The mean value of air-fuel ratio feedback correction factor per cycle)
 MAS A/F SE-B1/B2 (The signal voltage of the mass air flow sensor)
 IDLE FUEL PRES MAX/MIN (the signal voltage of the fuel rail pressure sensor)
Component Function CheckINFOID:0000000006217761
1.PRECONDITIONING
Check that all of the following conditions are satisfied.
TESTING CONDITION
 Vehicle driven distance: More than 5,000 km (3,107 miles)
 Barometric pressure: 98.3 - 104.3 kPa (0.983 - 1.043 bar, 1.003 - 1.064 kg/cm
2, 14.25 - 15.12 psi)
 Atmospheric temperature: 20 - 30 °C (68 - 86 °F)
 Engine coolant temperature: 75 - 95 °C (167 - 203 °F)
 Transmission: Warmed-up
- After the engine is warmed up to normal operating temperat ure, drive vehicle until “ATF TEMP 2” (A/T fluid
temperature sensor signal) indicates more than 60 °C (140 °F).
 Electrical load: Not applied
- Rear window defogger switch, air conditioner switch and li ghting switch are OFF. Steering wheel is straight
ahead.
 Engine speed: Idle
 Gear position: Neutral ( or parking)
>> GO TO 2.
2.PERFORM SPEC IN DATA MONITOR MODE
WITH CONSULT-III
NOTE:
Perform “SPEC” in “DATA MONITOR” mode in maximum scale display.
1. Perform EC-139, "
Work Procedure".
2. Select “B/FUEL SCHDL”, “A/F ALPHA-B1”, “A/F ALPHA-B2”, “MAS A/F SE-B1” in “SPEC” of “DATA
MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-III.
3. Check that monitor items are within the SP value.
Is the measurement value within the SP value?
YES >> INSPECTION END
NO >> Proceed to EC-162, "

Inspection for Leakage
The following are procedures for chec king fluid leakage, lubricant leakage. Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If any are less than the
required quantity, fill them to the specified level. Refer to MA-10, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
 Follow the procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
- Turn ignition switch to the “ON” position (with engi ne stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping,
check for fuel leakage at connection points.
- Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
 Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in guide may generate a
pounding noise during and just after the engine start. However, this does not indicate a malfunction. The
noise will stop after hydraulic pressure rises.
 Warm up engine thoroughly to check that there is no leak age of fuel, or any oil/fluids including engine oil and
engine coolant.
 Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.
 After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill them to the specified level, if necessary.

< PRECAUTION >
PRECAUTIONS
 Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tireblocks to the wheels to prevent t he vehicle from moving. After jack-
ing up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety stands at
the points designated for proper lifting before working on the vehi-
cle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.
 When removing a heavy component such as the engine or tran- saxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and drop
them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and master cylinder.
 Before starting repairs which do not require battery power: Turn off ignition switch.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
 If the battery terminals are disconnected, recorded memory of
radio and each control unit is erased.
 To prevent serious burns: Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
 Dispose of drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning parts in an appropriate manner.
 Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel spray
and possibly a fire.
 Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent prior to inspection or assembly.
 Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers,
cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new ones.
 Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and needle bearings as a set.
 Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence.
 Do not touch the terminals of electrical com ponents which use microcomputers (such as ECM).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.
 After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, atta ch a tag to indicate the proper connection.
 Use only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.
 Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.
 Use hand tools, power tools (disassembly only) and recommended special tools where specified for safe and efficient service repairs.
 When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems, check all affected lines for leakage.
