for scheduled maintenance.
2. Open engine hood and check the
following:
lHarness connectors for faulty con-
nections
lVacuum hoses for splits, kinks, or
faulty connections
lWiring for faulty connections,
pinches, or cuts
3. Using priming pump, bleed air from
fuel system. Refer to ªFuel Filter
Checkº in MA section.

Idle Air Volume LearningNCEC0541DESCRIPTIONNCEC0541S01ªIdle Air Volume Learningº is an operation to learn the idle air vol-
ume that keeps each engine within the specific range. It must be
performed under any of the following conditions:
IEach time IACV-AAC valve, throttle body or ECM is replaced.
IIdle speed or ignition timing is out of specification.
PRE-CONDITIONINGNCEC0541S04Before performing ªIdle Air Volume Learningº, make sure that all of
the following conditions are satisfied.
Learning will be cancelled if any of the following conditions are
missed for even a moment.
IBattery voltage: More than 12.9V (At idle)
IEngine coolant temperature: 70 - 99ÉC (158 - 210ÉF)
IPNP switch: ON
IElectric load switch: OFF
(Air conditioner, headlamp, rear window defogger)
On vehicles equipped with daytime light systems, set lighting
switch to the 1st position to light only small lamps.
ICooling fan motor: Not operating
ISteering wheel: Neutral (Straight-ahead position)
IVehicle speed: Stopped
ITransmission: warmed-up (Drive vehicle for 10 minutes.)
OPERATION PROCEDURENCEC0541S02With CONSULT-IINCEC0541S02011. Turn ignition switch ªONº and wait at least 1 second.
2. Turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 9 seconds.
3. Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating tempera-
ture.
4. Check that all items listed under the topic ªPRE-CONDITION-
INGº (previously mentioned) are in good order.

DescriptionNLEC1748The specification (SP) value indicates the tolerance of the value that is displayed in ªDATA MONITOR (SPEC)º
mode of CONSULT-II during normal operation of the Engine Control System. When the value in ªDATA MONI-
TOR (SPEC)º mode is within the SP value, the Engine Control System is confirmed OK. When the value in
ªDATA MONITOR (SPEC)º mode is NOT within the SP value, the Engine Control System may have one or
more malfunctions.
The SP value is used to detect malfunctions that may affect the Engine Control System, but will not light the
MIL.
The SP value will be displayed for the following three items:
IB/FUEL SCHDL (The fuel injection pulse width programmed into ECM prior to any learned on board cor-
rection)
IA/F ALPHA-B1/B2 (The mean value of air-fuel ratio feedback correction factor per cycle)
IMAS A/F SE-B1 (The signal voltage of the mass air flow sensor)

IEngine speed: Idle
*1: For after the engine is warmed up to normal operating temperature, drive vehicle until ªFLUID TEMP SEº
(CVT fluid temperature sensor signal) indicates less than 0.9V.
*2: Rear window defogger switch, air conditioner switch, lighting switch are ªOFFº. Cooling fans are not oper-
ating. Steering wheel is straight ahead.

Inspection ProcedureNLEC1750NOTE:
Perform ªDATA MONITOR (SPEC)º mode in maximum scale dis-
play.
1. Perform ªBasic Inspectionº, EC-QG-72.
2. Confirm that the testing conditions indicated above are met.
3. Select ªB/FUEL SCHDLº, ªA/F ALPHA-B1º and ªMAS A/F
SE-B1º in ªDATA MONITOR (SPEC)º mode with CONSULT-II.
4. Make sure that monitor items are within the SP value.
