MPI – Troubleshooting13-21
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 3
The engine warning lamp does not illuminate right after
the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.
Probable cause
For checking for burnt-out bulb, the engine-ECU causes the engine warning lamp
to illuminate for five seconds immediately after the ignition switch is turned to ON.
If the engine warning lamp does not illuminate immediately after the ignition switch
is turned to ON, one of the malfunctions listed at right has probably occurred.
Burnt-out bulb of the engine warning lamp

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 4
The engine warning lamp remains illuminating and never
goes out.
Probable cause
In cases such as the above, the cause is probably that the engine-ECU is detecting
a problem in a sensor or actuator, or that one of the malfunctions listed at right has
occurred.
Short-circuit between the engine warning lamp and
engine-ECU

Malfunction of the engine-ECU

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 23
Low alternator output voltage (approx. 12.3 V)
Probable cause
The alternator may be defective, or malfunctions, which are listed in the right column,
may be suspected.
Malfunction of charging system

Short circuit in harness between alternator G terminal
and engine-ECU

Malfunction of engine-ECU

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 24
Power supply system and ignition switch-IG system
Probable cause
When an ignition switch ON signal is input to the engine-ECU, the engine-ECU turns
the control relay ON. This causes system voltage to be supplied to the engine-ECU,
injectors and air flow sensor.
Malfunction of the ignition switch

Malfunction of the control relay

Improper connector contact, open or short-circuited
harness wire

Disconnected engine-ECU earth wire

Malfunction of the engine-ECU

TROUBLESHOOTING
BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING CONDITIONS
Refer to Group 00 – How to Use Troubleshooting / Inspection Service Points.
NOTE
Before starting the troubleshooting procedure, make sure that the following items have been checked
okay.

The correct steering wheel has been properly installed in the neutral position of the steering column
shaft.

Tire and wheel sizes are correct with correct specifications. Inflation pressure, balance, and wear
conditions are okay.

Wheel alignment is correct.

The engine, suspension, and other parts have not been remodeled so as to affect the AYC system.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
READING THE DIAGNOSIS CODE
Read the diagnosis code using an MUT-II tester or the AYC warning lamp.
(Refer to Group 00 – How to Use Troubleshooting / Inspection Service Points.)
ERASING THE DIAGNOSIS CODE
