REAL TIME DIAGNOSIS IN DATA MONITOR MODE (RECORDING VEHICLE DATA)
Description
CONSULT-II has two kinds of triggers and they can be selected by
touching “SETTING” in “DATA MONITOR” mode.
1. “AUTO TRIG” (Automatic trigger):
–The malfunction will be identified on the CONSULT-II screen in
real time.
In other words, DTC/1st trip DTC and malfunction item will be
displayed if the malfunction is detected by ECM.
At the moment a malfunction is detected by ECM, “MONITOR”
in “DATA MONITOR” screen is changed to “Recording Data ...
xx%” as shown at right, and the data after the malfunction detec-
tion is recorded. Then when the percentage reached 100%,
“REAL-TIME DIAG” screen is displayed. If “STOP” is touched on
the screen during “Recording Data ... xx%”, “REAL-TIME DIAG” screen is also displayed.
The recording time after the malfunction detection and the recording speed can be changed by “TRIG-
GER POINT” and “Recording Speed”. Refer to CONSULT-II OPERATION MANUAL.
2. “MANU TRIG” (Manual trigger):
–DTC/1st trip DTC and malfunction item will not be displayed automatically on CONSULT-II screen even
though a malfunction is detected by ECM.
DATA MONITOR can be performed continuously even though a malfunction is detected.
Operation
1. “AUTO TRIG”
–While trying to detect the DTC/1st trip DTC by performing the “DTC Confirmation Procedure”, be sure to
select to “DATA MONITOR (AUTO TRIG)” mode. You can confirm the malfunction at the moment it is
detected.
–While narrowing down the possible causes, CONSULT-II should be set in “DATA MONITOR (AUTO
TRIG)” mode, especially in case the incident is intermittent.
When you are inspecting the circuit by gently shaking (or twisting) the suspicious connectors, components
and harness in the “DTC Confirmation Procedure”, the moment a malfunction is found the DTC/1st trip
DTC will be displayed. (Refer to “Incident Simulation Tests” in GI-23, "
How to Perform Efficient Diagnosis
for an Electrical Incident" .)
2. “MANU TRIG”
–If the malfunction is displayed as soon as “DATA MONITOR” is selected, reset CONSULT-II to “MANU
TRIG”. By selecting “MANU TRIG” you can monitor and store the data. The data can be utilized for further
diagnosis, such as a comparison with the value for the normal operating condition.

Diagnostic test mode Function
MODE 1 READINESS TESTSThis mode gains access to current emission-related data values, including analog inputs
and outputs, digital inputs and outputs, and system status information.
MODE 2 (FREEZE DATA)This mode gains access to emission-related data value which were stored by ECM during
the freeze frame. For details, refer to EC-780, "
FREEZE FRAME DATA AND 1ST TRIP
FREEZE FRAME DATA" .

GST INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Connect “GST” to data link connector, which is located under LH
dash panel near the fuse box cover.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Enter the program according to instruction on the screen or in
the operation manual.
(*: Regarding GST screens in this section, sample screens are
shown.)
5. Perform each diagnostic mode according to each service proce-
dure.
For further information, see the GST Operation Manual of the
tool maker.
MODE 4 CLEAR DIAG INFOThis mode can clear all emission-related diagnostic information. This includes:
●Clear number of diagnostic trouble codes (MODE 1)
●Clear diagnostic trouble codes (MODE 3)
●Clear trouble code for freeze frame data (MODE 1)
●Clear freeze frame data (MODE 2)
●Reset status of system monitoring test (MODE 1)
●Clear on board monitoring test results (MODE 6 and 7)
MODE 6 (ON BOARD TESTS)This mode accesses the results of on board diagnostic monitoring tests of specific com-
ponents/systems that are not continuously monitored.
MODE 7 (ON BOARD TESTS)This mode enables the off board test drive to obtain test results for emission-related pow-
ertrain components/systems that are continuously monitored during normal driving condi-
tions.
MODE 8 — This mode is not applicable on this vehicle.
MODE 9 (CALIBRATION ID)This mode enables the off-board test device to request specific vehicle information such
as Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and Calibration IDs. Diagnostic test mode Function

CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data Monitor
EBS00MT2
Remarks:
● Specification data are reference values.
● Specification 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.

tion.Almost the same speed as the
