REAL TIME DIAGNOSIS IN DATA MONITOR MODE
CONSULT-II has two kinds of triggers and they can be selected
by touching ªSETTINGº in ªDATA MONITORº mode.
1) ªAUTO TRIGº (Automatic trigger):
+The malfunction will be identified on the CONSULT-II screen
in real time.
In other words, DTC will be displayed if the malfunction is
detected by ECM.
At the moment a malfunction is detected by ECM, ªMONI-
TORº in ªDATA MONITORº screen is changed to ªRecording
Data ... xx%º as shown at left, and the data after the mal-
function detection is recorded. Then when the percentage
reached 100%, ªREAL-TIME DIAGº screen is displayed. If
ªSTOPº is touched on the screen during ª Recording Data ...
xx%º, ªREAL-TIME DIAGº screen is also displayed.
The recording time after the malfunction detection and the
recording speed can be changed by ªTRIGGER POINTº and
ªRecording Speedº. Refer to CONSULT-II OPERATION
MANUAL.
2) ªMANU TRIGº (Manual trigger):
+DTC will not be displayed automatically on CONSULT-II
screen even though a malfunction is detected by ECM.
DATA MONITOR can be performed continuously even
though a malfunction is detected.
Use these triggers as follows:
1) ªAUTO TRIGº
+While trying to detect the DTC by performing the ªDTC Con-
firmation Procedureº, be sure to select to ªDATA MONITOR
(AUTO TRIG)º mode. You can confirm the malfunction at the
moment it is detected.
+While narrowing down the possible causes, CONSULT-II
should be set in ªDATA MONITOR (AUTO TRIG)º mode,
especially in case the incident is intermittent.
When you are inspecting the circuit by gently shaking (or
twisting) the suspicious connectors, components and har-
ness in the ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº, the moment a
malfunction is found the DTC will be displayed. (Refer to GI
section, ªIncident Simulation Testsº in ªHOW TO PERFORM
EFFICIENT DIAGNOSIS FOR AN ELECTRICAL INCI-
DENTº.)
2) ªMANU TRIGº
+If the malfunction is displayed as soon as ªDATA MONITORº
is selected, reset CONSULT-II to ªMANU TRIGº. By select-
ing ªMANU TRIGº you can monitor and store the data. The
data can be utilized for further diagnosis, such as a compari-
son with the value for the normal operating condition.

Introduction
The engine has an ECM to control major systems such as fuel
injection control, fuel injection timing control, glow control
system, etc. The ECM accepts input signals from sensors and
instantly drives electronic control fuel injection pump. It is essen-
tial that both input and output signals are proper and stable. At
the same time, it is important that there are no problems such as
vacuum leaks, or other problems with the engine.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a problem that occurs inter-
mittently rather than continuously. Most intermittent problems are
caused by poor electric connections or improper wiring. In this
case, careful checking of suspected circuits may help prevent the
replacement of good parts.
A visual check only may not find the cause of the problems. A
road test with CONSULT-II or a circuit tester connected should
be performed. Follow the ªWork Flowº, EC-1047.
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with a driveability complaint. The
customer can supply good information about such problems,
especially intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present
and under what conditions they occur. A ªDiagnostic Worksheetº
like the example on next page should be used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for ªconventionalº problems first.
This will help troubleshoot driveability problems on an electroni-
cally controlled engine vehicle.
DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET
There are many operating conditions that lead to the malfunction
of engine components. A good grasp of such conditions can
make troubleshooting faster and more accurate.
In general, each customer feels differently about a problem. It is
important to fully understand the symptoms or conditions for a
customer complaint.
Utilize a diagnostic worksheet like the one shown below in order
to organize all the information for troubleshooting.
