The ECM enters fail-safe mode, if any of the following malfunctions are detected due to the open or short
circuit.
When the ECM enters the ECM fail-safe mode listed in the last column below, the MIL illuminates.

circuitEngine coolant temperature will be determined by ECM based on the time after turning ignition switch
``ON'' or ``START''.

cuitThe ECM controls on the assumption that the intake air temperature is 20ÉC (68ÉF).
43 Throttle
position sen-
sor circuitThrottle position will be determined based on the amount of mass air flow and the engine speed.
Therefore, acceleration will be poor.
Unable to

nostic Test
Mode IIECMECM fail-safe activating condition
The computing function of the ECM was judged to be malfunctioning.
When the fail-safe system activates, i.e. if the ECM detects a malfunction condition in the CPU of
ECM, the MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP on the instrument panel lights to warn the driver.
However, it is not possible to access ECCS and DTC cannot be confirmed.
Engine control with ECM fail-safe
When the fail-safe system is operating, fuel injection, ignition timing, fuel pump operation and IACV-
AAC valve operation are controlled under certain limitations.
Replace ECM, if ECM fail-safe condition is confirmed.

CONSULT Reference Value in Data Monitor
Mode
Remarks:
lSpecification data are reference values.
lSpecification data are output/input values which are detected or supplied by the ECM at the connector.
* Specification data may not be directly related to their components signals/values/operations.
i.e. Adjust ignition timing with a timing light before monitoring IGN TIMING, because the monitor may show the specification data
in spite of the ignition timing not being adjusted to the specification data. This IGN TIMING monitors the data calculated by the
ECM according to the signals input from the camshaft position sensor and other ignition timing related sensors.
lIf the real-time diagnosis results are NG and the on board diagnostic system results are OK when diagnosing the mass air flow
sensor, first check to see if the fuel pump control circuit is normal.

Monitor Mode
The following are the major sensor reference graphs in ``DATA MONITOR'' mode.
(Select ``HI SPEED'' in ``DATA MONITOR'' with CONSULT.)
THRTL POS SEN, CLSD THL/POSI
Below is the data for ``THRTL POS SEN'' and ``CLSD THL/POSI'' when depressing the accelerator pedal
with the ignition switch ``ON''.
The signal of ``THRTL POS SEN'' should rise gradually without any intermittent drop or rise after ``CLSD
THL/POSI'' is changed from ``ON'' to ``OFF''.
CMPScRPM (POS), MAS AIR/FL SE, THRTL POS SEN, O2 SEN, INJ PULSE
Below is the data for ``CMPSRPM (POS)'', ``MAS AIR/FL SE'', ``THRTL POS SEN'', ``O2 SEN'' and ``INJ
