TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
Symptom Matrix Chart (Cont'd)
RELATION BETWEEN TROUBLE SYMPTOMS AND ENGINE MECHANICAUACCESSORIES
Malfunction of the gasoline engine will not occur when the three elements of combustion (compression
pressure, aidfuel mixture, and spark) are all normal. Though the
aidfuel mixture and the spark (ignition tim-
ing) are controlled by ECM
(.TCM) control unit, if the engine mechanical is malfunctioning,
a malfunction will
occur. (The table below shows universal cases. Some cases may not apply to the vehicle.)
