DTC and MI Detection LogicNJEC0626When a malfunction is detected, the malfunction (DTC) is stored in the ECM memory.
The MI will light up each time the ECM detects malfunction. For diagnostic items causing the MI to light up,
refer to ªTROUBLE DIAGNOSIS Ð INDEXº, EC-596.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)NJEC0627HOW TO READ DTCNJEC0627S01The DTC can be read by the following methods.
Without CONSULT-II
ECM displays the DTC by a set of four digit numbers with MI illumination in the diagnostic test mode II (Self-
diagnostic results). Example: 0103, 0807, 1002, etc.
With CONSULT-II
CONSULT-II displays the DTC in ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº mode. Examples: P0115, P0571, P1202, etc.
These DTCs are prescribed by ISO15031-6.
(CONSULT-II also displays the malfunctioning component or system.)
+Output of the trouble code means that the indicated circuit has a malfunction. However, in the Mode
II it does not indicate whether the malfunction is still occurring or occurred in the past and returned
to normal.
CONSULT-II can identify them. Therefore, using CONSULT-II (if available) is recommended.
HOW TO ERASE DTCNJEC0627S02How to Erase DTC (With CONSULT-II)NJEC0627S02011. If the ignition switch stays ªONº after repair work, be sure to turn ignition switch ªOFFº once. Wait at least
5 seconds and then turn it ªONº (engine stopped) again.
2. Touch ªENGINEº.
3. Touch ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº.
4. Touch ªERASEº. (The DTC in the ECM will be erased.)
SEF246Z
The emission related diagnostic information in the ECM can be erased by selecting ªERASEº in the ªSELF-
DIAG RESULTSº mode with CONSULT-II.
How to Erase DTC (Without CONSULT-II)NJEC0627S02021. If the ignition switch stays ªONº after repair work, be sure to turn ignition switch ªOFFº once. Wait at least
5 seconds and then turn it ªONº (engine stopped) again.
2. Change the diagnostic test mode from Mode II to Mode I by using the data link connector. (See EC-629.)
The emission related diagnostic information in the ECM can be erased by changing the diagnostic test mode.
+If the battery is disconnected, the emission-related diagnostic information will be lost after approx.
24 hours.

+Erasing the emission-related diagnostic information using CONSULT-II is easier and quicker than
switching the diagnostic test mode using the data link connector.
Malfunction Indicator (MI)
DESCRIPTIONNJEC0628
SAT652J
The MI is located on the instrument panel.
1. The MI will light up when the ignition switch is turned ON without the engine running. This is a bulb check.
+If the MI does not light up, refer to EL-184, EL-189, ªWARNING LAMPSº or see EC-831.
2. When the engine is started, the MI should go off.
If the MI remains on, the on board diagnostic system has detected an engine system malfunction.
If MI illuminates or blinks irregularly after starting engine, water may have accumulated in fuel filter.
Drain water from fuel filter. Refer to ªWATER DRAININGº, EC-625.
On Board Diagnostic System FunctionNJEC0628S01The on board diagnostic system has the following three functions.
Diagnostic Test
ModeKEY and ENG.
StatusFunction Explanation of Function
Mode I Ignition switch in
ON position
Engine stopped
BULB CHECK This function checks the MI bulb for damage (blown,
open circuit, etc.).
If the MI does not come on, check MI circuit. (See
EC-831.)
Engine running
MALFUNCTION
WARNINGThis is a usual driving condition. When ECM detects a
malfunction, the MI will light up to inform the driver that
a malfunction has been detected.
Mode II Ignition switch in
ON position
Engine stopped
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS This function allows DTCs to be read.

Relationship Between MI, DTC, CONSULT-II and Driving PatternsNJEC0628S07
SEF879Y
*1: When a malfunction is detected,
MI will light up.
*2: When the same malfunction is
detected in two consecutive driv-
ing patterns, MI will stay lit up.
*3: MI will go off after vehicle is driven
three times without any malfunc-
tions.*4: When a malfunction is detected
for the first time, the DTC will be
stored in ECM.
*5: The DTC will not be displayed any
longer after vehicle is driven 40
times without the same malfunc-
tion. (The DTC still remain in
ECM.)*6: Other screens except SELF-DIAG-
NOSTIC RESULTS & DATA

display the malfunction. DATA

Basic InspectionNJEC0632Precaution:
Perform Basic Inspection without electrical or mechanical
loads applied;
+Headlamp switch is OFF,
+On vehicles equipped with daytime light systems, set
lighting switch to the 1st position to light only small
lamps.
+Air conditioner switch is OFF,
+Rear defogger switch is OFF,
+Steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position, etc.
1 INSPECTION START
1. Check service records for any recent repairs that may indicate a related problem.
2. Check the current need for scheduled maintenance, especially for fuel filter and air cleaner filter. Refer to MA-6, ªPeri-
odic Maintenanceº.
3. Open engine hood and check the following:
+Harness connectors for improper connections
+Vacuum hoses for splits, kinks, or improper connections
+Wiring for improper connections, pinches, or cuts
SEF142I
4. Start engine and warm it up to the normal operating temperature.

2 PREPARATION FOR CHECKING IDLE SPEED
With CONSULT-II
Connect CONSULT-II to the data link connector.
Without CONSULT-II
Install diesel tacho tester to the vehicle.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS Ð GENERAL DESCRIPTIONYD
CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data Monitor Mode
EC-656

DescriptionNJEC0679The accelerator work unit is installed on the upper end of the accelerator pedal assembly. The accelerator
position sensor and accelerator position switch are built into the accelerator work unit. The sensor detects the
accelerator position and sends a signal to the ECM. The ECM uses the signal to determine the amount of fuel
to be injected.
The accelerator position switch detects Off-accelerator switch signal and send these signals to the ECM. The
ECM will then determine engine idle conditions. These signals are also used for diagnosing the accelerator
position sensor.
