WARNING!
• Whenever raising a vehicle for service, be
sure to follow the instructions under
“Vehicle Lifting Points in Section 0A”.
• When it is necessary to do service work
with the engine running, make sure that
the parking brake is set fully and the
transmission is in Neutral (for manual
transmission vehicles) or Park (for
automatic transmission vehicles), Keep
hands, hair, clothing, tools, etc. away from
the fan and belts when the engine is
running.
• When it is necessary to run the engine
indoors, make sure that the exhaust gas is
forced outdoors.
• Do not perform service work in areas
where combustible materials can come in
contact with a hot exhaust system. When
working with toxic or flammable materials
(such as gasoline and refrigerant), make
sure that the area you work in is well-
ventilated.
• To avoid getting burned, keep away from
hot metal parts such as the radiator,
exhaust manifold, tail pipe, muffler, etc.
• New and used engine oil can be
hazardous. Children and pets may be
harmed by swallowing new or used oil.
Keep new and used oil and used engine oil
filters away from children and pets.
Continuous contact with used engine oil
has been found to cause [skin] cancer in
laboratory animals. Brief contact with used
oil may irritate skin. To minimize your
exposure to used engine oil, wear a long-
sleeve shirt and moisture-proof gloves
(such as dish washing gloves) when
changing engine oil. If engine oil contacts
your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and
water. Launder any clothing or rags if wet
with oil, recycle or properly dispose of
used oil and filters.
• Be sure to observe following instructions
when handling service materials such as
fuel, oil, fluid, coolant, grease, sealant,
thread lock cement, etc. Otherwise, your
health may be ruined.
– Whenever handling any of these service
materials, wear safety glasses to protect
your eyes. If it gets into your eye, it may
cause inflammation.
– Whenever handling any of these service
materials, wear moisture-proof gloves to
protect your skin. If it adheres to your
skin, it may cause inflammation.– Do not swallow any of these service
materials. It would cause diarrhea or
nausea.
– Keep all these materials out of children’s
reach.
• Make sure the bonnet is fully closed and
latched before driving. If it is not, it can fly
up unexpectedly during driving,
obstructing your view and resulting in an
accident.

• Before starting any service work, cover fenders, seats
and any other parts that are likely to get scratched or
stained during servicing. Also, be aware that what you
wear (e.g., buttons) may cause damage to the
vehicle’s finish.
• When performing service to electrical parts that does
not require use of battery power, disconnect the
negative cable of the battery.
• When disconnecting the negative cable from the
battery, be careful to the following.
– Check and record DTCs in ECM, HVAC control
module and/or PS control module if necessary
before disconnecting.
– Record displayed contents of the clock and/or
audio system, etc. before disconnecting and reset it
as before after connecting.
– For vehicle equipped with electric throttle body
system, perform electric throttle body system
calibration referring to “Electric Throttle Body
System Calibration in Section 1C” after
reconnecting the negative cable to the battery.

THROTTLE MOTOR RELAY (ON/OFF)
ON: Throttle actuator (motor) control activated by ECM.
OF: Throttle actuator (motor) control stopped by ECM.
VEHICLE SPEED (km/h, mph)
It is computed based on pulse signals from front wheel
speed sensor (RH, LH) (for M/T model) or output shaft
speed sensor (VSS) (for A/T model).INJ PULSE WIDTH (FUEL INJECTION PULSE WIDTH,
msec.)
This parameter indicates time of the injector drive (valve
opening) pulse which is output from ECM (but injector
drive time of NO.1 cylinder for multiport fuel injection).
Visual InspectionS6RW0D1104008
Visually check the following parts and systems.
Engine Basic InspectionS6RW0D1104009
This check is very important for troubleshooting when ECM has detected no DTC and no abnormality has been found
in “Visual Inspection”.
Follow the flow carefully.Inspection item Reference section
