Precautions
lBefore connecting or disconnecting the ECM harness
connector, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect
negative battery terminal. Failure to do so may damage
the ECM. Because battery voltage is applied to ECM
even if ignition switch is turned off.
lWhen connecting ECM harness connector, tighten
securing bolt until the gap between the orange indica-
tors disappears.
: 3.0 - 5.0 N´m (0.3 - 0.5 kg-m, 26 - 43 in-lb)
lWhen connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into
or from ECM, take care not to damage pin terminals
(bend or break).
Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on
ECM pin terminal, when connecting pin connectors.
lBefore replacing ECM, perform ECM input/output signal
inspection and make sure whether ECM functions prop-
erly or not. (See page EC-68.)
lAfter performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform
``OVERALL FUNCTION CHECK'' or ``DTC (Diagnostic
Trouble Code) CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE''.
The DTC should not be displayed in the ``DTC CONFIR-
MATION PROCEDURE'' if the repair is completed. The
``OVERALL FUNCTION CHECK'' should be a good result
if the repair is completed.

BASIC MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION
SYSTEM
The amount of fuel injected from the fuel injector is
determined by the ECM. The ECM controls the
length of time the valve remains open (injection
pulse duration). The amount of fuel injected is a
program value in the ECM memory. The program
value is preset by engine operating conditions.
These conditions are determined by input signals
(for engine speed and intake air) from both the
camshaft position sensor and the mass air flow
sensor.
VARIOUS FUEL INJECTION
INCREASE/DECREASE COMPENSATION
The amount of fuel injected is compensated for to
improve engine performance. This will be made
under various operating conditions as listed below.

lDuring warm-up
lWhen starting the engine
lDuring acceleration

lHigh-load, high-speed operation
lWhen swirl control valve operates

lDuring deceleration

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ignition timing is controlled by the ECM to maintain the best
air-fuel ratio for every running condition of the engine.
The ignition timing data is stored in the ECM. This data forms the
map shown left.
The ECM detects information such as the injection pulse width
and camshaft position sensor signal. Responding to this
information, ignition signals are transmitted to the power transis-
tor.
e.g. N: 1,800 rpm, Tp: 1.50 msec
A ÉBTDC
During the following conditions, the ignition timing is revised by
the ECM according to the other data stored in the ECM.
1 At starting
2 During warm-up
3 At idle
4 When swirl control valve operates
5 Hot-engine operation
6 At acceleration

Introduction
The ECM (ECCS control module) has an on board diagnostic system, which detects malfunctions related to
engine sensors or actuators. Self-diagnosis items are listed in ``DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE INDEX'',
EC-1.
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the instrument panel lights up when a malfunction is detected, or
when the ECM enters fail-safe mode (Refer to EC-61).
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
HOW TO CONFIRM MALFUNCTION ITEMS
Malfunction items can be confirmed by the following methods.
1. The number of blinks of the malfunction indicator lamp in the Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self- Diag-
nostic Results) indicates the DTC. Examples: 11, 21 etc.
2. CONSULT displays the malfunctioning component or system in ``SELF DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS''
mode.
lOutput of a DTC indicates a malfunction. However, Mode II does not indicate whether the mal-
function is still occurring or has occurred in the past and has returned to normal.
CONSULT can identify malfunction status as shown below. Therefore, using CONSULT (if avail-
able) is recommended.
A sample of CONSULT display is shown at left. The malfunction
is displayed in SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS mode of CON-
SULT. Time data indicates how many times the vehicle was
driven after the last detection of a malfunction.
If the malfunction is being detected currently, the time data will
be ``0''.
HOW TO ERASE DTC
The DTC can be erased from the back-up memory in the ECM by the following methods.
Selecting ``ERASE'' in the SELF- DIAG RESULTS'' mode with CONSULT
Changing the diagnostic test mode from Diagnostic Test Mode II to Mode I by turning the mode
selector on the ECM (RHD model only) or connecting the data link connector for CONSULT terminals.
(Refer to EC-39, 41)
lIf the battery terminal is disconnected, the DTC will be lost within 24 hours.
lErasing the DTC, using CONSULT is easier and quicker than switching the mode selector on the
ECM (RHD model only) or connecting the data link connector for CONSULT terminals.

DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE IÐBULB CHECK
In this mode, the MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP on the instrument panel should stay ON. If it remains
OFF, check the bulb. (See the WARNING LAMPS AND CHIME in the EL section. Or see EC-173, 174.)
DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE IÐMALFUNCTION WARNING
MALFUNCTION
INDICATOR LAMPCondition
ON When the malfunction is detected (Refer to EC-1.) or the ECM's CPU is malfunctioning.
OFF No malfunction
lThese Diagnostic Trouble Code Numbers are clarified in Diagnostic Test Mode II (SELF-DIAGNOSTIC
RESULTS).
DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE IIÐSELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
In this mode, a diagnostic trouble code is indicated by the number of blinks of the MALFUNCTION INDICA-
TOR LAMP as shown below.
Long (0.6 second) blinking indicates the number of ten digits, and short (0.3 second) blinking indicates the
number of single digits. For example, the malfunction indicator lamp blinks 4 times for about 5 seconds (0.6
sec x 8 times) and then it blinks three times for about 1 second (0.3 sec x 3 times). This indicates the DTC
``43'' and refers to the malfunction of the throttle position sensor.
In this way, all the detected malfunctions are classified by their diagnostic trouble code numbers. The DTC
``55'' refers to no malfunction. (See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE INDEX, refer to page EC-1.)
How to erase diagnostic test mode II (Self-diagnostic results)
The diagnostic trouble code can be erased from the backup memory in the ECM when the diagnostic test
mode is changed from Diagnostic Test Mode II to Diagnostic Test Mode I. (Refer to ``HOW TO SWITCH
DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODES''.)
lIf the battery terminal is disconnected, the diagnostic trouble code will be lost from the backup
memory within 24 hours.
lBe careful not to erase the stored memory before starting trouble diagnoses.
lIf the MIL blinks or ``NATS MALFUNCTION'' is displayed
on ``SELF-DIAG RESULTS'' screen, perform self-diag-
nostic results mode with CONSULT using NATS pro-
gram card (NATS-E940). Refer to EL section.
lConfirm no self-diagnostic results of NATS is displayed
before touching ``ERASE'' in ``SELF-DIAG RESULTS''
mode with CONSULT.
lWhen replacing ECM, initialisation of NATS V2.0 system
and registration of all NATS V2.0 ignition key IDs must
be carried out with CONSULT using NATS program card
(NATS-E940).
Therefore, be sure to receive all keys from vehicle
owner.
Regarding the procedures of NATS initialisation and
NATS ignition key ID registration, refer to CONSULT
operation manual, NATS V2.0.
