EXPLANATION AND PRECAUTION RELATED TO
HARNESS CHECKING
l Connector symbols are described as seen from the end of
the terminal for the connector.
lThe abbreviation “B+”
used for the normal judgment value
when checking the voltage is the abbreviation for battery positive voltage.

l
Be sure to use the special tool (test harness) when, for a
waterproof connector, checking while the circuit is conduc-
tive. If a probe is inserted from the harness side, the waterproof
capability will be lowered, thereby causing/corrosion, SO
never do so.
If there is no test harness compatible with the connector, it
is OK to use the test harness set (MB991348)
that can be
directly connected between terminals.
l When a connector is disconnected in order to check terminal voltage, etc., never insert a probe if the terminal to
be checked is a female pin, because the forceful insertion
of a probe will cause improper or incomplete contact.
l When checking for damaged or disconnected wiring of a
harness (open circuit) and if both ends of the harness are
unconnected, use a jumper wire to ground one end of the
harness, and then check for continuity between the other
end and ground. By doing this, you can check for damaged
or disconnected wiring
., and, if there is no continuity, the
harness should be repaired.
l When checking for a harness short-circuit (short-circuit to
ground), open one end of the harness and then check for
continuity between the other end and ground.
If there is continuity, the harness is short-circuited to
ground and should be repaired.

If the voltage (power-supply voltage) supplied to a sensor
is not normal, repair the harness. If the voltage to the sensor is still not normal after the har-
ness has been repaired, repalce the engine control module
and check again.
W&K ENGINE/MALFUNCTION INDICATOR
Among the on-board diagnostic items, a check
engine/mal-
function indicator lamp comes on to notify the driver of the
emission control items when an irregurality is detected. However, when an irregular signal returns to normal
andthe
engine control module judges that it has returned to normal,
the check engine/malfunction indicator lamp goes out. Moreover, when the ignition switch is turned off, the light goes
out. Even if the ignition switch is turned on again, the light does not come on until the irregularity is detected.
Here, immediately after the ignition switch is turn on, the
check engine/malfunction indicator lamp is lit for 5 seconds to indicate that the check engine/malfunction indicator lamp op-
erates normally.

CHECK ENGINE/MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP
INSPECTION
(1) Check to be sure, when the ignition switch is set to the “ON” position, that the lamp illuminates for about five sec-onds and then switches OFF.
(2) If the lamp does not illuminate, check for damage or dis-
connection of the harness, or for a blown fuse or a failedlight bulb.

FUEL SYSTEM - Troubleshooting13-11
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC-
The engine control module monitors the input/out-
put signals (some signals at all times and the others
under specified conditions) of the engine control
module.
When it is noticed that an irregularity has continued
for a specified time or longer from when the irregu- lar signal is initially monitored, passing a certain
number, the engine control module judges that an
irregularity has occurred, memorizes the diagnostic
trouble code, and outputs the signal to the on-board
diagnostic output terminal.
There are 15 on-board diagnostic items including
the normal state, and the diagnostic results can be
read out with a voltmeter or scan tool.
Moreover, since memorization of the diagnostic
trouble codes is backed up directly by the battery,
the diagnostic results are memorized even if the ig- nition key is turned off. The diagnostic trouble
codes will, however, be erased when the battery disconnected. In addition, beginning with the engine
control module of
1990 and later models, the diag-
nostic trouble codes are erased by turning on the
ignition switch and sending the diagnostic trouble
code erase signal from the scan tool to the engine
control module.
Caution
If the sensor connector is disconnected with
the ignition switch turned on, the diagnostic
trouble code is memorized. In this case, send
the diagnostic trouble code erase signal from
the scan tool to the engine control module or disconnect the battery terminal (-)
for 10 sec-
onds or more, and the diagnostic memory will
be erased.
The 15 on-board diagnostic items are provided as
follows, and if plural items are activated, they are all
indicated sequentially from the smallest code num-

Using Scan Tool
(1) Switch OFF the ignition switch.
(2) Connect the power-source terminal of the scan tool to the
cigarette lighter socket.
(3) Connect the scan tool to the data link connector. (4) Turn ignition switch to ON.
(5) Using the scan tool, read out and make a note of the
