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.

DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE IIÐHEATED OXYGEN SENSOR MONITOR
In this mode, the MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP displays the condition of the fuel mixture (lean or rich)
which is monitored by the heated oxygen sensor.

Closed loop control
OFF Rich
*Remains ON or OFF Any condition Open loop control
*: Maintains conditions just before switching to open loop.
To check the heated oxygen sensor function, start engine in the Diagnostic Test Mode II and warm it up
until engine coolant temperature indicator points to the middle of the gauge.
Next run engine at about 2,000 rpm for about 2 minutes under no-load conditions. Then make sure that the
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP comes ON more than 5 times every 10 seconds when measured at
2,000 rpm under no-load.
