SCAN TOOL DATA
As the data values given below are standard values estimated on the basis of values obtained from the normally
operating vehicles by using a scan tool, use them as reference values. Even when the vehicle is in good condition,
there may be cases where the checked value does not fall within each specified data range. Therefore, judgment
as abnormal should not be made by checking with these data alone.
Also, conditions in the below table that can be checked by the scan tool are those detected by ECM (PCM) and
output from ECM (PCM) as commands and there may be cases where the engine or actuator is not operating (in
the condition) as indicated by the scan tool. Be sure to use the timing light to check the ignition timing.
NOTE:

With the generic scan tool, only star () marked data in the table below can be read.

When checking the data with the engine running at idle or racing, be sure to shift M / T gear to the neutral
gear position and A / T gear to the “Park” position and pull the parking brake fully. Also, if nothing or “no
load” is indicated, turn OFF A / C, all electric loads, P / S and all the other necessary switches.

ue of 0 indicates no correction, a value greater than
0 means an enrichment correction, and a value less
than 0 implies an enleanment correction.
LONG FT B1 (LONG TERM FUEL TRIM, %)
Long term fuel trim Value represents long term correc-
tions to the air / fuel mixture computation. A value of 0

determine the amount of air passing into the intake
manifold as air density varies with temperature.

which is computed based on signals from MAP sen-
sor, IAT sensor, TP sensor, etc.

throttle valve opening is in. The throttle opening is di-
vided into 8 levels (zones) from “0” (about idle posi-

When the ignition switch is turned ON, ECM (PCM) causes the main relay to turn ON (close the contact point).
Then, ECM (PCM) being supplied with the main power, turns ON the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). When the
engine starts to run and no malfunction is detected in the system, MIL goes OFF but if a malfunction was or is de-
tected, MIL remains ON even when the engine is running.

DTC P0300 RANDOM MISFIRE DETECTED (Misfire detected at 2 or more
cylinders)
DTC P0301 CYLINDER 1 MISFIRE DETECTED
DTC P0302 CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE DETECTED
DTC P0303 CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE DETECTED
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
ECM (PCM) monitors crankshaft revolution speed and engine speed via the crankshaft position sensor and cylin-
der No. via the camshaft position sensor. Then it calculates the change in the crankshaft revolution speed and from
how many times such change occurred in every 200 or 1000 engine revolutions, it detects occurrence of misfire.
When ECM (PCM) detects a misfire (misfire rate per 200 revolutions) which can cause overheat and damage to
the three way catalytic converter, it makes the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) flash as long as misfire occurs at
that rate.
After that, however, when the misfire rate drops, MIL remains ON until it has been judged as normal 3 times under
the same driving conditions.
Also, when ECM (PCM) detects a misfire (misfire rate per 1000 revolutions) which will not cause damage to three
way catalytic converter but can cause exhaust emission to be deteriorated, it makes MIL light according to the 2
driving cycle detection logic.

ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS (SFI FOR G13) 6-1-7
Warm-up Cycle
A warm-up cycle means sufficient vehicle operation such that the
coolant temperature has risen by at least 22C (40F) from engine
starting and reaches a minimum temperature of 70C (160F).
Driving Cycle
A “Driving Cycle” consists of engine startup and engine shutoff.
2 Driving Cycle Detection Logic
The malfunction detected in the first driving cycle is stored in ECM
(PCM) memory (in the form of pending DTC and freeze frame data)
but the malfunction indicator lamp does not light at this time. It lights
up at the second detection of same malfunction also in the next driv-
ing cycle.
Pending DTC
Pending DTC means a DTC detected and stored temporarily at 1
driving cycle of the DTC which is detected in the 2 driving cycle
detection logic.
Freeze Frame Data
ECM (PCM) stores the engine and driving conditions (in the from
of data as shown at the left) at the moment of the detection of a mal-
function in its memory. This data is called “Freeze frame data”.
Therefore, it is possible to know engine and driving conditions (e.g.,
whether the engine was warm or not, where the vehicle was running
or stopped, where air / fuel mixture was lean or rich) when a mal-
function was detected by checking the freeze frame data. Also,
ECM (PCM) has a function to store each freeze frame data for three
different malfunctions in the order as the malfunction is detected.
Utilizing this function, it is possible to know the order of malfunctions
that have been detected. Its use is helpful when rechecking or diag-
nosing a trouble.
Priority of freeze frame data:
ECM (PCM) has 4 frames where the freeze frame data can be
stored. The first frame stores the freeze frame data of the malfunc-
tion which was detected first. However, the freeze frame data
stored in this frame is updated according to the priority described
below. (If malfunction as described in the upper square “1” below
is detected while the freeze frame data in the lower square “2” has
been stored, the freeze frame data “2” will be updated by the freeze
frame data “1”.)
PRIORITY
FREEZE FRAME DATA IN FRAME 1
1
Freeze frame data at initial detection of malfunction
among misfire detected (P0300-P0304), fuel
system too lean (P0171) and fuel system too rich

2Freeze frame data when a malfunction other than
those in “1” above is detected
