•
After performing eachTROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform
"OVERALL FUNCTIONCHECK"or"DTC (Diagnostic Trou-
ble Code) CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE".
The DTC should notbedisplayed inthe "DTC CONFIRMA-
TION PROCEDURE" ifthe repair iscompleted. The"OVER-
ALL FUNCTION CHECK"shouldbeagood result ifthe
repair iscompleted.
• When measuring ECMsignals withacircuit tester, never
allow thetwo tester probes tocontact.
Accidental contactofprobes willcause ashort circuit and
damage theECM power transistor.

seconds (0.6secx4 times) andthen itblinks threetimes forabout 1second (0.3secx3 times). This

In this way, allthe detected malfunctions areclassified bytheir diagnostic troublecodenumbers. The
DTC "55" refers tono malfunction. (SeeDIAGNOSTIC TROUBLECODECHART, refertoEC-62.)

HOW TOERASE DIAGNOSTIC TESTMODE II(Self-diagnostic results)

The diagnostic troublecodecanbeerased fromthebackup memory inthe ECM when thediagnostic
test mode ischanged fromDiagnostic TestMode IIto Diagnostic TestMode
I.
(Refer to"HOW TO
SWITCH DIAGNOSTIC TESTMODES" onprevious page.)

• Ifthe battery terminal isdisconnected, thediagnostic troublecodewillbelost from thebackup
memory within24hours.
• Becareful nottoerase thestored memory before

troublediagnoses.

• If
the MIL blinks or"NATS MALFUNCTION" isdisplayed on
"SELF-OIAG RESULTS"screen,perform self-diagnostic
results modewithCONSULT usingNATS program card
(NATS-E940). RefertoEL section.
• Confirm noself-diagnostic resultsofNATS isdisplayed
before touching "ERASE" in"SELF-DIAG RESULTS"mode
with CONSULT.
• When replacing ECM,initialisation ofNATS V2.0system and
registration ofall NATS V2.0ignition key10smust becar-
ried outwith CONSULT usingNATS program card(NATS-

Therefore, besure toreceive allkeys from vehicle owner.

REAL TIMEDIAGNOSIS INDATA MONITOR MODE

CONSULT hastwo kinds oftriggers andthey canbeselected bytouching "SETTING" in"DATA
MONITOR" mode.
1. "AUTO TRIG"(Automatic trigger):
• The malfunction willbeidentified onthe CONSULT screeninreal time.
In other words, DTCandmalfunction itemwillbedisplayed atthe moment themalfunction is
detected byECM.
DATA MONITOR canbeperformed continuously untilamalfunction isdetected. However, DATA
MONITOR cannotcontinue anylonger afterthemalfunction detection.
2. "MANU TRIG"(Manual trigger):
• DTC andmalfunction itemwillnotbedisplayed automatically onCONSULT screeneventhough
a malfunction isdetected byECM. •
DATA MONITOR canbeperformed continuously eventhough amalfunction isdetected.
Use these triggers asfollows:
1. "AUTO TRIG"
• While trying todetect theDTC byperforming the"DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE",besure
to select to"DATA MONITOR (AUTOTRIG)" mode.Youcanconfirm themalfunction atthe
moment itis detected.
• While narrowing downthepossible causes,CONSULT shouldbeset in"DATA MONITOR (AUTO
TRIG)" mode,especially incase theincident isintermittent.
Inspect thecircuit bygently shaking (ortwisting) suspicious connectors, components andharness
in the "DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE".Themoment amalfunction isfound theDTC willbe
displayed. (RefertoGI section, "Incident Simulation Tests"in"HOW TOPERFORM EFFICIENT
DIAGNOSIS FORANELECTRICAL INCIDENT".)
2. "MANU TRIG"
• Ifthe malfunction isdisplayed assoon as"DATA MONITOR" isselected, resetCONSULT to
"MANU TRIG".Byselecting "MANUTRIG"youcanmonitor andstore thedata. Thedata canbe
utilized forfurther diagnosis, suchasacomparison withthevalue forthe normal operating con-

Description forWork Flow

DESCRIPTION
Get detailed information abouttheconditions andtheenvironment whentheincident/symptom occurred
using the"DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET" asshown onthe next page.
Before confirming theconcern, checkandwrite down (printoutusing CONSULT) theDiagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC), thenerase thecode. TheDTC canbeused when duplicating theincident atSTEP III
&
IV.
Study therelationship betweenthecause, specified byDTC, andthesymptom described bythe customer.
(The "Symptom MatrixChart" willbeuseful. RefertoEC-72.)
Try toconfirm thesymptom andunder whatconditions theincident occurs.
The "DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET" isuseful toverify theincident. ConnectCONSULT tothe vehicle inDATA
MONITOR (AUTOTRIG)modeandcheck realtime diagnosis results.
If the incident cannotbeverified, performINCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS.RefertoGI section.
If the malfunction codeisdetected, skipSTEP IVand perform STEPV.
Try todetect theDiagnostic TroubleCode(DTC) bydriving in(or performing) the"DTC CONFIRMATION
PROCEDURE". Checkandread theDTC byusing CONSULT.
During theDTC verification, besure toconnect CONSULT tothe vehicle inDATA MONITOR (AUTOTRIG)
mode andcheck realtime diagnosis results.

If
the incident cannotbeverified, performINCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS.RefertoGI section.
In case the"DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE"isnot available, performthe"OVERALL FUNCTION
CHECK" instead.TheDTC cannot bedisplayed bythis check, however, thissimplified "check"isan effec-
tive alternative.
The "NG" result ofthe "OVERALL FUNCTIONCHECK"isthe same asthe DTC detection.
Take theappropriate actionbasedonthe results ofSTEP Ithrough IV.
If the malfunction codeisindicated, proceedtoTROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FORDTCXX.
If the normal codeisindicated, proceedtothe BASIC INSPECTION. RefertoEC-65. Thenperform inspec-
tions according tothe Symptom MatrixChart.RefertoEC-72.
Identify wheretobegin diagnosis basedonthe relationship studybetween symptom andpossible causes.
Inspect thesystem formechanical binding,looseconnectors orwiring damage using(tracing) "Harness
Layouts".
Gently shaketherelated connectors, components orwiring harness withCONSULT setin"DATA MONITOR
(AUTO TRIG)" mode.
Check thevoltage ofthe related ECMterminals ormonitor theoutput datafrom therelated sensors with
CONSULT. RefertoEC-74.
The "DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE" inEC section contains adescription basedonopen circuit inspection. A
short circuit inspection isalso required forthe circuit checkinthe DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE. Fordetails,
refer toGI section ("HOWTOPERFORM EFFICIENT DIAGNOSIS FORANELECTRICAL INCIDENT","Circuit
Inspection' ').
Repair orreplace themalfunction parts.
Once youhave repaired thecircuit orreplaced acomponent, youneed torun theengine inthe same condi-
tions andcircumstances whichresulted inthe customer's initialcomplaint.
Perform the"DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE"andconfirm thenormal code(Diagnostic troublecodeNo.
55) isdetected. Ifthe incident isstill detected inthe final check, perform STEPVIby using adifferent
method fromtheprevious one.
Before returning thevehicle tothe customer, besure toerase theunnecessary (alreadyfixed)DTCinECM.
Refer toEC-46.
