FAIL-SAFE MODE
When the malfunction is detected, the ECM enters fail-safe mode.
DTC Confirmation ProcedureNBS0004F
CAUTION:
Always drive at a safe speed.
NOTE:

If DTC P0014 or P0024 is displayed with DTC P0078, P0084, P1078 or P1084, first perform trouble
diagnosis for DTC P0078, P0084 or P1078, P1084. Refer to EC-190, "
DTC P0078 P0084 EVT CON-
TROL MAGNET RETARDER" or EC-528, "DTC P1078 P1084 EVT CONTROL POSITION SENSOR" .

If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait
at least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.
TESTING CONDITION:
Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is between 10V and 16V at
idle.
WITH CONSULT-III
1. Turn ignition switch ON and select “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-III.
2. Start engine and warm it up to the normal operating temperature.
3. Maintain the following conditions for at least 6 consecutive seconds.
Hold the accelerator pedal as steady as possible.
4. Let engine idle for 10 seconds.
5. Check 1st trip DTC.
6. If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to EC-162, "
Diagnostic Procedure" .
If 1st trip DTC is not detected, go to next step.
7. Maintain the following conditions for at least 20 consecutive seconds.

2. Read the voltage signal between ECM terminal 6 (bank 1), 7 (bank 2) and ground with oscilloscope.
3. Verify that the oscilloscope screen shows the signal wave as shown below.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 12.
NG >> GO TO 4.
4. CHECK EXHAUST VALVE TIMING CONTROL MAGNET RETARDER
Refer to EC-164, "
