Diagnostic Test Mode II Ð Heated Oxygen Sensor (Front) MonitorNCEC0032S06In this mode, the MI displays the condition of the fuel mixture (lean or rich) which is monitored by the heated
oxygen sensor 1 (front).
MI Fuel mixture condition in the exhaust gas Air fuel ratio feedback control condition
ON Lean
Closed loop system
OFF Rich
*Remains ON or OFF Any condition Open loop system
*: Maintains conditions just before switching to open loop.
To check the heated oxygen sensor 1 (front) 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
MI comes ON more than 5 times within 10 seconds with engine running at 2,000 rpm under no-load.
OBD System Operation ChartNCEC0033RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MI, 1ST TRIP DTC, DTC, AND DETECTABLE ITEMSNCEC0033S01IWhen a malfunction is detected for the first time, the 1st trip DTC and the 1st trip freeze frame data are
stored in the ECM memory.
IWhen the same malfunction is detected in two consecutive trips, the DTC and the freeze frame data are
stored in the ECM memory, and the MI will come on. For details, refer to ªTwo Trip Detection Logicº on
EC-QG-36.
IThe MI will go off after the vehicle is driven 3 times with no malfunction. The drive is counted only when
the recorded driving pattern is met (as stored in the ECM). If another malfunction occurs while counting,
the counter will reset.
IThe DTC and the freeze frame data will be stored until the vehicle is driven 40 times (driving pattern A)
without the same malfunction recurring (except for Misfire and Fuel Injection System). For Misfire and Fuel
Injection System, the DTC and freeze frame data will be stored until the vehicle is driven 80 times (driv-
ing pattern C) without the same malfunction recurring. The ªTIMEº in ªSELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTSº
mode of CONSULT-II will count the number of times the vehicle is driven.
IThe 1st trip DTC is not displayed when the self-diagnosis results in ªOKº for the 2nd trip.

IntroductionNCEC0036The engine has an ECM to control major systems such as fuel
control, ignition control, idle air control system, etc. The ECM
accepts input signals from sensors and instantly drives actuators.
It is essential 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, fouled spark plugs, or other problems with
the engine.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a problem that occurs intermit-
tently 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 GST) or a circuit tester connected should
be performed. Follow the ªWork Flowº on EC-QG-70.
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with a driveability complaint. The cus-
tomer can supply good information about such problems, espe-
cially 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 electronically
controlled engine vehicle.
DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEETNCEC0036S01There are many operating conditions that lead to the malfunction
of engine components. A good grasp of such conditions can make
trouble-shooting 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 on the next page in order
to organize all the information for troubleshooting.
Some conditions may cause the malfunction indicator to come on
steady or blink and DTC to be detected.
Example:
Vehicle ran out of fuel, which caused the engine to misfire.

DESCRIPTION FOR WORK FLOWNCEC0037S01
STEP DESCRIPTION
STEP IGet detailed information about the conditions and the environment when the incident/symptom occurred using the
ªDIAGNOSTIC WORK SHEETº, EC-QG-69.
STEP IIBefore confirming the concern, check and write down (print out using CONSULT-II or Generic Scan Tool) the (1st
trip) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and the (1st trip) freeze frame data, then erase the code and the data.
(Refer to EC-QG-44.) The (1st trip) DTC and the (1st trip) freeze frame data can be used when duplicating the
incident at STEP III & IV.
Study the relationship between the cause, specified by (1st trip) DTC, and the symptom described by the cus-
tomer. (The ªSymptom Matrix Chartº will be useful. See EC-QG-82.)
Also check related service bulletins for information.
STEP IIITry to confirm the symptom and under what conditions the incident occurs.
The ªDIAGNOSTIC WORK SHEETº and the freeze frame data are useful to verify the incident. Connect CON-
SULT-II to the vehicle in DATA MONITOR (AUTO TRIG) mode and check real time diagnosis results.
If the incident cannot be verified, perform INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS. (Refer to GI section.)
If the malfunction code is detected, skip STEP IV and perform STEP V.
STEP IVTry to detect the (1st trip) Diagnostic Trouble Code by driving in (or performing) the ªDIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE
CODE CONFIRMATION PROCEDUREº. Check and read the (1st trip) DTC and (1st trip) freeze frame data by
using CONSULT-II or Generic Scan Tool.
During the (1st trip) DTC verification, be sure to connect CONSULT-II to the vehicle in DATA MONITOR (AUTO
TRIG) mode and check real time diagnosis results.
If the incident cannot be verified, perform INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS. (Refer to GI section.)
In case the ªDIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CONFIRMATION PROCEDUREº is not available, perform the
ªOVERALL FUNCTION CHECKº instead. The (1st trip) DTC cannot be displayed by this check, however, this
simplified ªcheckº is an effective alternative.
The ªNGº result of the ªOVERALL FUNCTION CHECKº is the same as the (1st trip) DTC detection.
STEP VTake the appropriate action based on the results of STEP I through IV.
If the malfunction code is indicated, proceed to TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR DTC PXXXX.
If the normal code is indicated, proceed to the BASIC INSPECTION. (Refer to EC-QG-72.) If CONSULT-II is
available, perform ªDATA MONITOR (SPEC)º mode with CONSULT-II and proceed to the ªTROUBLE DIAGNO-
SIS-SPECIFICATION VALUEº, EC-QG-98. (If malfunction is detected, proceed to ªREPAIR/REPLACEº. Then per-
form inspections according to the Symptom Matrix Chart. (Refer to EC-QG-82.)
STEP VIIdentify where to begin diagnosis based on the relationship study between symptom and possible causes. Inspect
the system for mechanical binding, loose connectors or wiring damage using (tracing) ªHarness Layoutsº.
Gently shake the related connectors, components or wiring harness with CONSULT-II set in ªDATA MONITOR
(AUTO TRIG)º mode.
Check the voltage of the related ECM terminals or monitor the output data from the related sensors with CON-
SULT-II. Refer to EC-QG-91.
The ªDIAGNOSTIC PROCEDUREº in EC section contains a description based on open circuit inspection. A short
circuit inspection is also required for the circuit check in the DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE. For details, refer to GI
section (ªHOW TO PERFORM EFFICIENT DIAGNOSIS FOR AN ELECTRICAL INCIDENTº, ªCircuit Inspectionº).
Repair or replace the malfunction parts.
STEP VIIOnce you have repaired the circuit or replaced a component, you need to run the engine in the same conditions
and circumstances which resulted in the customer's initial complaint.
Perform the ªDIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CONFIRMATION PROCEDUREº and confirm the normal code
[Diagnostic trouble code No. P0000 or 0000] is detected. If the incident is still detected in the final check, perform
STEP VI by using a different method from the previous one.
Before returning the vehicle to the customer, be sure to erase the unnecessary (already fixed) (1st trip) DTC in
ECM. (Refer to EC-QG-44.)
