[PXXXX]+Engine Control component part/control system has a trouble code, it is displayed as ªPXXXXº. (Refer to
ªAlphabetical & P No. Index for DTCº, EC-10.)
FUEL SYS-B1+ªFuel injection system statusº at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed.
+One mode in the following is displayed.
ªMODE 2º: Open loop due to detected system malfunction
ªMODE 3º: Open loop due to driving conditions (power enrichment, deceleration enrichment)
ªMODE 4º: Closed loop - using oxygen sensor(s) as feedback for fuel control

signalsMain
signalsDescription Remarks
ENG SPEED [rpm]jj+Indicates the engine speed computed from
the POS signal of the crankshaft position
sensor.+Accuracy becomes poor if engine
speed drops below the idle rpm.
+If the signal is interrupted while the
engine is running, an abnormal
value may be indicated.
MAS A/F SE-B1 [V]jj+The signal voltage of the mass air flow sen-
sor is displayed.+When the engine is stopped, a cer-
tain value is indicated.
B/FUEL SCHDL
[msec]+ªBase fuel scheduleº indicates the fuel
injection pulse width programmed into
ECM, prior to any learned on board correc-
tion.
A/F ALPHA-B1 [%]j+Indicates the mean value of the air-fuel
ratio feedback correction factor per cycle.+When the engine is stopped, a cer-
tain value is indicated.
+This data also includes the data for
the air-fuel ratio learning control.
COOLAN TEMP/S
[ÉC] or [ÉF]jj+The engine coolant temperature (deter-
mined by the signal voltage of the engine
coolant temperature sensor) is displayed.+When the engine coolant tempera-
ture sensor is open or short-
circuited, ECM enters fail-safe
mode. The engine coolant tempera-
ture determined by the ECM is dis-
played.
HO2S1 (B1) [V]jj+The signal voltage of the heated oxygen
sensor 1 (front) is displayed.
HO2S2 (B1) [V]j+The signal voltage of the heated oxygen
sensor 2 (rear) is displayed.
HO2S1 MNTR (B1)
[RICH/LEAN]j+Display of heated oxygen sensor 1 (front)
signal during air-fuel ratio feedback control:
RICH ... means the mixture became ªrichº,
and control is being affected toward a
leaner mixture.
LEAN ... means the mixture became ªleanº,
and control is being affected toward a rich
mixture.+After turning ON the ignition switch,
ªRICHº is displayed until air-fuel
mixture ratio feedback control
begins.
+When the air-fuel ratio feedback is
clamped, the value just before the
clamping is displayed continuously.

IIECMECM fail-safe activating condition
The computing function of the ECM was judged to be malfunctioning.
When the fail-safe system activates (i.e., if the ECM detects a malfunction
condition in the CPU of ECM), the MI on the instrument panel lights to warn
the driver.
However it is not possible to access ECM and DTC cannot be confirmed.
Engine control with fail-safe
When ECM fail-safe is operating, fuel injection, ignition timing, fuel pump
operation and IACV-AAC valve operation are controlled under certain limita-
tions.

Engine speedEngine speed will not rise more than
3,000 rpm
Fuel injectionSimultaneous multiport fuel injection sys-
tem
