PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
The Supplemental Rest raint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT P RE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to redu ce th e risk or se verit y of i njury to the driv er and front passenge r for ce rtain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual st age front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Manual.
WARNING:
●To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, whi ch could incr ease the risk of pe rsonal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
●Improper maintenance, inc luding incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury ca use d by unintentional ac tiv atio n o f the s ys tem . F or re moval of Spiral C ab le and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS sec tion.
●Do not use electrical test equ ipment o n any circu it related to the SRS unless in structed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/ or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.

The ECM has an on boa rd diagnos tic system. It wil l light up the m alfunction indicator la mp (MIL) to warn th e
driver of a malfunction causing emission deterioration.
CAUTION:
●Be sure to turn the ignitio n switch OFF and disconne ct the negative battery term inal before any
repair or inspection work. The open/short circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid valves,
etc. will cause the MIL to light up.
●Be sure to connect and lock the connectors securely after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MIL to light up due to the open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
●Certain systems and components, especially those related to OBD, may use a new style slide-
locking type harness connector. For description and how to disconnect, refer to PG-60, "
NESS CONNECTOR" .
●Be sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. The interference of the harness
with a bracket, etc. may cause the MIL to light up due to the short circuit.
●Be sure to connect rubber tubes properly after work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube
may cause the MIL to ligh t up due to the m al func tion of the EVAP system or fuel injection system ,
etc.
●Be sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction information (repairs completed) from the ECM and
TCM (Transmission control module) before returning the vehicle to the customer.
PrecautionNBS001Q0
●Always use a 12 volt battery as power source.
●Do not attempt to disconne ct b attery c abl es w hile engine is
running.
●Before connecting or d isconnecting th e ECM harnes s con-
nector, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect battery
ground cable. Failure to do so may damage the ECM
because battery voltage is applie d to ECM even if ignition
switch is turned OFF.
●Before removing parts, turn ignition switch OFF and then
disconnect battery ground cable.

PRECAUTIONS
●Do not disassemble ECM.
●If a battery terminal is disconnected, the memory will return
to the ECM value.
The ECM will now start to self-control at its initial value.
Engine operation can vary sl ightl y w he n the te rmin al i s di sconnected. However, this is not an in dication of a malfunction. Do not replace parts because of a slight variation.
●If the battery is disconnected, the following emission-
related diagnostic information will be lost within 24 hours.
–Diagnostic trouble codes
–1st trip diagnostic trouble codes
–Freeze frame data
–1st trip freeze frame data
–System readiness test (SRT) codes
–Test values
●When connecting ECM harness connector, fasten it
securely with a leve r as far as it will go a s sho wn in the f igure.
PBIB1164E
●When connecting or discon necting pin connectors into or
from ECM, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or
break).
Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on ECM
pin terminal, when connecting pin connectors.
●Securely connect ECM harness connectors.
A poor connection can cause an extremely high (surge)
voltage to develop in coil and condenser, thus resulting in
damage to ICs.
●Keep engine control system harness at least 10 cm (4 in)
away from adjacent ha r ne ss , to p rev ent engine control sy stem malfunctions due to receiving external noise, degraded
operation of ICs, etc.
●Keep engine control system parts and harness dry.
●Before replacing ECM, perform ECM Terminals and Refer-
ence Value inspection and make sure ECM functions properly. Refer to EC-105, "
ECM Terminals and Reference Value"
.
●Handle mass air flow sensor carefully to avoid damage.
●Do not disassemble mass air flow sensor.
●Do not clean mass air flow senso r with any type of deter-
gent.
●Do not disassemble electric throttle control actuator.
●Even a slight leak in the air intake system can cause seri-
ous incidents.
●Do not shock or jar the camshaft position sensor (PHASE), crankshaft position sensor (POS).

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The amount of fuel injected from the fuel injector is determined by the ECM. The ECM controls the length of
time the valve remains open (inj ection pu lse durati on). The a mount of fuel inject ed is a pr ogram val ue in the
ECM memory. The program value is preset by engine operating conditions. These conditions are determined
by input signals (for engine speed and intake air) from the crankshaft position sensor (POS), camshaft position
sensor (PHASE) and the mass air flow sensor.
VARIOUS FUEL INJECTION INCREASE/DECREASE COMPENSATION
In addition, the amount of fuel injected is compensated to improve engine performance under various operating conditions as listed below.
<Fuel increase>
●During warm-up
●When starting the engine
●During acceleration
●Hot-engine operatio n
●When selector lever is chan ged from N to D
●High-load, high-speed operation

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
MIXTURE RATIO FEEDBACK CONTRO L (CLOSED LOOP CONTROL)
A
EC
C
PBIB3020E
The mixture r atio feedback system provides the best air-fuel mixture ratio for driveability and emission control.
The three way catalyst (manifold) can then better reduce CO, HC and NOx emissions. This system uses A/F
sensor 1 in the exhaust manifold to monitor whether the engine operation is rich or lean. The ECM adjusts the
injection pulse width according to the sensor voltage signal. For more information about A/F sensor 1, refer to
EC-236
. This maintains the mixture ratio with in the rang e of sto ichi om et r ic (ideal air-fuel mixture).
This stage is referred to as the closed loop control condition.
Heated oxygen sens or 2 is located downstream of the three way catalyst (manifold). Even if the switching
characteristics of A/F sensor 1 shi ft, the air-fue l ratio is contro lled to stoic hiometric by the signal f rom heated
oxygen sensor 2.
Open Loop Control
The open loop system condition refers to when the ECM detects any of the following conditions. Feedback
control stops in order to maintain stabilized fuel combustion.
●Deceleration and acceleration
●High-load, high-speed operation
●Malfunction of A/F sens or 1 or its circuit
●Insufficient activation of A/F sensor 1 at low engine coolant temperature
●High engine coolant temperatu re
●During warm-up
●After shifting from N to D
●When starting the engine
MIXTURE RATIO SELF-LEARNING CONT ROL
The mixture ratio feedback control system monitors the mixture ratio signal transmitted from A/F sensor 1.
This feedback signal is then sent to the ECM. The ECM controls the basic mixture ratio as close to the theoretical mixture ratio as possible. However, the basic mixture ratio is not necessarily controlled as originally
designed. Both manufacturing differences (i.e., mass air flow sensor hot wire) and characteristic change s during operation (i.e., fue l inj ect o r clog gi ng ) direc tly affect mixture ratio.
Accordingly, the dif fer e nc e b etw een th e ba si c a nd t he or eti ca l mi xtur e ra ti os i s m on ito re d in thi s sys te m. Thi s is
then computed in terms of “injection pu lse duration” to autom atically compens ate for the difference betw een
the two ratios.
“Fuel trim” refers to the feedback compensation valu e compared against the basic injection duration. Fuel trim
includes short term fuel trim and long term fuel trim.
“Short term fuel trim” is the sh ort-term fuel c ompensatio n used to ma intain the mixture ratio at its th eoretical
value. The signal from A/F sensor 1 indicates whether the mixture ratio is RICH or LEAN compared to the theoretical value. The signal then triggers a reduction in fuel volume if the mixture ratio is rich, and an increase in
fuel volume if it is lean.
“Long term fuel trim” is ov erall fue l compens ation ca rried out long -term to compe nsate fo r continual deviation
of the short t e rm fue l t rim f rom t he c en tra l valu e. Su ch dev ia ti o n wil l oc cu r d ue to in di vi dual eng i ne differences,
wear over time and changes in the usage environment.

The knock sensor retard system is designed only for emergencies. The basic ignition timing is programmed
within the anti-knocking zone, if recommended fuel is used under dry conditions. The retard system does not
operate under normal driving conditions. If engine knocking occurs, the knock sensor monitors the condition.
The signal is transmitted to the ECM. The ECM retards the ignition timing to eliminate the knocking condition.

CAN COMMUNICATION
CAN COMMUNICATIONPFP:23710
System DescriptionNBS001QC
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle multiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many electronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during opera tion (not independent). In CA N communication, cont rol units are connected with 2
communicatio n lines ( CAN H lin e, CAN L li ne) all owi ng a high ra te of in forma tion tr ans missi on wit h less wir ing.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
Refer to LAN-35, "
CAN COMMUNICATION" , about CAN communication for detail.
The evaporativ e emission sy stem is used to reduce hydr ocarbons emi tted into the at mosphere from the fuel
system. This reduction of hydrocarbons is accomplished by activated charcoals in the EVAP canister.
The fuel vapor in the sealed fuel tank is led into the EVAP canister which contains activated carbon and the
vapor is stored there when the engine is not operating or when refueling to the fuel tank.
The vapor in the EVAP canister is purged by the air through the purge line to the intake manifold when the
engine is operating. EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve is controlled by ECM. When the
engine operates, the flow rate of vapor controlled by EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve is
proportional ly regulated as the air flow increases.
EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve also shuts off the vapor purge line during decelerating and
idling.

From the beginning of refueling, the fuel tank pressure goes up. When the pressure reaches the setting value
of the refueling control valve (RCV) opening pressure, the RCV is opened. After RCV opens, the air and vapor
inside the fuel tank go through refueling EVAP vapor cut valve, RCV and refueling vapor line to the EV AP canister. The vapor is absorbed by the EVAP canister and the air is released to the atmosphere.
When the refuel in g h as reac he d t he full le ve l of the fu el ta nk , th e ref u elin g E VAP vapor cut valve is clo se d an d
refueling is stopped because of auto shut-off. The vapor which was absorbed by the EVAP canister is purged
during driving.
The RCV is always closed during driving and the evaporative emission control system is operated the same
as conventional system.

This system returns blow-by gas to the intake manifold.
The positive cra nkcase ventilation (PCV) valve is provided to conduct crankcase bl ow-by gas to the intake
manifold.
During partial throttle operation of the engine, the intake manifold sucks the blow-by gas through the PCV
valve.
Normally, the capacity of the valve is sufficient to handle an y blo w -by and a sma ll am ou nt of ve nt ilating air.
The ventilating air is then drawn from the air inlet tubes into the crankcase. In this process the air passes
through the hose connecting air inlet tubes to rocker cover.
Under full-throt tle condition, the manifold vacu um is insufficient to draw the blow-by flo w through the valve.
The flow goes through the hose connection in the reverse direction.
On vehicles with an excessively high blow-by, the valve does not
meet the requirement. This is because some of the flow will go
through the hose connection to the air inlet tubes under all conditions.

DTC AND 1ST TRIP DTC
The 1st trip DTC (whose number is the same as the DTC number) is displayed for the latest self-diagnostic
result obtained. If the ECM memory w as cleared pre viously, and the 1st trip DTC did not re occur, the 1st trip
DTC will not be displayed.
If a malfunction is detected during the 1st trip, the 1st trip DTC is stored in the ECM memory. The MIL will not
light up (two trip detect ion logic ). If the sam e malfun ction is not detected in the 2nd tri p (meetin g the requi red
driving pattern), the 1 st trip DTC i s clear ed from the E CM me mory. If the same malfunction is detec ted in the
2nd trip, both the 1st trip DTC and DTC are stored in the ECM memory and the MIL lights up. In other words,
the DTC is stor e d in t h e ECM m emo ry an d the MI L lig hts up when the same mal fun ct io n occu r s i n t wo co ns ecutive trips. If a 1st trip DTC is stored and a non-diagnostic operation is performed between the 1st and 2nd
trips, only the 1st trip DTC will continue to be stored. For malfunctions that blink or light up the MIL during the
1st trip, the DTC and 1st trip DTC are stored in the ECM memory.
Procedures for clearin g the DTC and th e 1st t rip DTC f rom the ECM me mory are describe d in EC-61 , "
TO ERASE EMISSION-RELATED DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION" .
For malfunctions in which 1st trip DTCs are displayed, refer to EC-48, "
INFORMATION ITEMS" . These items are required by legal regulations to continuously monitor the system/
component. In addition, the items monitored non-continuously are also displayed on CONSULT-II.
1st trip DTC is specified in Service $07 of SAE J1979. 1st trip DTC detection occurs without lighting up the MIL
and therefore does not warn the driver of a malfunction. However, 1st trip DTC detection will not prevent the
vehicle from being tested, for example during Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) tests.
When a 1st trip DTC is detected, check, print out or write down and erase (1st trip) DTC and Freeze Frame

HOW
How to Read DTC and 1st Trip DTC
DTC and 1st trip DTC can be read by the following methods.
With CONSULT-II
With GST
CONSULT-II or GST (Generic Scan Tool) Ex amples: P0340, P0850, P1148, etc.
These DTCs are prescribed by SAE J2012.
(CONSULT-II also displays the malfunctioning component or system.)
No Tools
The number of blinks of the M IL in the Diag nostic Te st Mode II (Self-D iagnostic Res ults) indicates the DTC.
Example: 0340, 0850, 1148, etc.
These DTCs are controlled by NISSAN.
●1st trip DTC No. is the same as DTC No.
●Output of a DTC indicates a malfunction. However, GST or the Diagnostic Test Mode II do not indi-
cate whether the malfunction is still occurring or has occurred in the past and has returned to normal. CONSULT-II can ide ntify malfun ction s tatus as shown be low. Therefore, using CO NSULT-II (if
available) is recommended.
A sample of CONSULT-II display for DTC and 1st trip DTC is shown below. DTC or 1st trip DTC of a malfunction is displayed in SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS mode of CONSULT-II. Time data indicates how many times
the vehicle was driven after the last detection of a DTC.
If the DTC is being detected currently, the time data will be [0].
Revision: 2005 November2006 Q45
EC-52
ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM
If a 1st trip DTC is stored in the ECM, the time data will be [1t].

FREEZE FRAME DATA AND 1ST TRIP FREEZE FRAME DATA
The ECM records the driving conditions such as fuel system status, calculated load value, engine coolant temperature, sho r t ter m f ue l tr im , l ong ter m fu el tri m, eng i ne spe ed , vehi cl e sp ee d, ab sol u te th rot tl e po sit i on , ba se
fuel schedule and intake air temperature at the moment a malfunction is detect ed.
Data which are stored in the ECM memory, along with the 1st trip DTC, are called 1st trip freeze frame data.
The data, stored toge ther with the DTC data, are called freeze fram e data and displaye d on CONSULT-I I or
GST. The 1st trip freeze frame data can only be displayed on the CONSULT-II screen, not on the GST. For
details, see EC-118, "
Only one set of freeze frame data (either 1st trip freeze frame data or freeze frame data) can be stored in the
ECM. 1st trip freeze frame data is stored in the ECM memory along with the 1st trip DTC. There is no priority
for 1st trip freeze fr ame data and it is update d each time a different 1st trip DTC is det ected. However, once
freeze frame data (2nd trip detection/MIL on) is stored in the ECM memory, 1st trip freeze frame data is no
longer stored. R eme mber, only one set of free ze fra me da ta can be stored in the ECM . The ECM has th e following pri orities to update the data.
PriorityItems

2Except the above items (Includes A/T related items)
31st trip freeze frame data
For example, the EGR malfunction (Priority: 2) was detected and the freeze frame data was stored in the 2nd
trip. After that when the misfire (Priority: 1) is detected in another trip, the freeze frame data will be updated
Freeze frame dataMisfire — DTC: P0300 - P0308
from the EGR malfunction to the misfire. The 1st trip freeze frame data is updated each time a different malfunction is dete cted. There is no priority fo r 1st trip freeze frame data. However, once freeze frame data is
stored in the ECM memory, 1st trip freeze data is no longer stored (because only one freeze frame data or 1st
trip freeze frame data can be stored in the ECM). If freeze frame data is stored in the ECM memory and freeze
frame data with the same priority occurs later, the first (original) freeze frame data remains unchanged in the
ECM memory.
Both 1st trip freeze frame data and freeze frame data (along with the DTCs) are cleared when the ECM memory is erased. Procedures for clearing the ECM memory are described in EC-61, "

SYSTEM READINESS TEST (SRT) CODE
System Readiness Test (SRT) code is specified in Service $01 of SAE J1979.
As part of an enhanced em iss ions tes t for Ins pect ion & Ma inte nanc e (I/M), certain states req uire th e status of
SRT be used to indicate whether the ECM has completed self-diagnosis of major emission systems and components. Completion must be verified in or der for the emissions inspection to proceed.
If a vehicle is rejected for a State emissions inspection due to one or more SRT items indicating “INCMP”, use
the information in this Service Manual to set the SRT to “CMPLT”.
In most cases the ECM will automatically complete its self-diagnosis cycle during normal usage, and the SRT
status will indicate “CMPLT” for each application system. Once set as “CMPLT”, the SRT status remains
“CMPLT” until the self-diagnosis memory is erased.
Occasionally, certain portions of the self-diagnostic test may not be completed as a result of the customer's
normal driving pattern; the SRT will indicate “INCMP” for these items.
NOTE:
The SRT will also indicate “INCMP” if the self-diagnosis memory is erased for any reason or if the ECM memory power supply is interrupted for several hours.
Revision: 2005 November2006 Q45
EC-53
ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM
If, during the state e missions insp ection, th e SRT indicates “CMPLT” for all test items, t he inspecto r will continue with the emissions test. However, if the SRT indicates “INCMP” for one or more of the SRT items the
vehicle is returned to the customer untested.
NOTE:
If MIL is ON during the state emissions inspection, the vehicle is also returned to the customer untested even
though the SRT indicates “CMPLT” for all test items. Therefore, it is important to check SRT (“CMPLT”) and
DTC (No DTCs) before the inspection.
SRT Item
The table below shows required self-diagnostic items to set the SRT to “CMPLT”.

Required self-diagnostic items to set the SRT to “CMPLT”
SRT is set as “CMPLT” after self-diagno sis has been performed one or more times. Completi on of SRT is
done regardle ss of whether the result is OK or NG. The set timing is different between OK and NG results and
is shown in the table below.
Example

Case 2P0400OK (1)— (1)— (1)— (1)
NG existsCase 3P0400OKOK——
OK: Self-diagnosis is carried out and the resul t is OK .
NG: Self-diagnosis is carried out and the result is NG.
—: Self-diagnosis is not carried out.
When all SRT related self-diagnoses showed OK results in a single cycle (Ignition OFF-ON-OFF), the SRT will
indicate “CMPLT”. → Case 1 above
Revision: 2005 November2006 Q45
EC-54
ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM
When all SRT related self-diagnoses showed OK results through several different cycles, the SRT will indicate
“CMPLT” at the time the respective self-diagnoses have at least one OK result. → Case 2 above
If one or more SRT related self-diagnoses showed NG results in 2 consecutive cycles, the SRT will also indicate “CMPLT”. → Case 3 above
The table above shows that the minimum number of cycles for setting SRT as “INCMP” is one (1) for each
self-diagnosis (Case 1 & 2) or two (2) for one of self-diagnoses (Case 3). However, in preparation for the state
emissions inspec tio n, it is unnecessary for ea c h se lf- dia gn os is to b e ex ec u ted tw ic e (Cas e 3) for th e fo llo w in g
reasons:
●The SRT will indicate “CMPLT” at the time the respective self-diagnoses have one (1) OK result.
●The emissions inspection requires “CMPLT” of the SRT only with OK self-diagnosis results.
●When, during SRT driving pattern, 1st trip DTC (NG) is detected prior to “CMPLT” of SRT, the self-diagno-
sis memory must be erased from ECM after repair.
●If the 1st trip DTC is erased, all the SRT will indicate “INCMP”.
NOTE:
SRT can be set as “CMPLT” together with the DTC(s). Therefore, DTC check must always be carried out
prior to the state emission inspection even though the SR T indicates “CMPLT”.

●The time required for each diagnosis varies with road surface conditions, weather, altitude, individual driv-
ing habits, etc.
Zone A refers to the range where the time, required for the diagnosis under normal conditions*, is the
shortest.
Zone B refers to the range where the diagnosis can still be performed if the diagnosis is not completed
within zone A.
*: Normal conditions refer to the following:
●Sea level
●Flat road
●Ambient air temperature: 20 - 30°C (68 - 86°F)
●Diagnosis is performed as quickly as possible under normal conditions.
Under different conditions [For example: ambient air temperature other than 20 - 30°C (68 - 86°F)], diagnosis may also be performed.
Pattern 1:
●The engine is started at the engine coolant temperature of −10 to 35°C (14 to 95°F)
(where the voltage between the ECM terminal 73 and ground is 3.0 - 4.3V).
●The engine must be operated at idle speed until the engine coolant temperat ure is greater than
70°C (158°F) (where the voltage between the ECM terminal 73 and ground is lower than 1.4V).
●The engine is started at the fuel tank temperature of warmer th an 0°C (32°F) (where the voltage
between the ECM terminal 107 and ground is less than 4.1V).
Pattern 2:
●When steady-state driving is performed again even after it is interrupted, each diagnosis can be con-
ducted. In this case, the time required for diagnosis may be extended.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MIL, 1ST TRIP DTC, DTC, AND DETECTABLE ITEMS
●When a malfunction is detected for the first time, the 1st trip DTC and the 1 st trip freeze fram e data are
stored in the ECM memory.
●When the same malfunct ion is detect ed in two consec utive trips, the DT C and the freez e frame data are
stored in the ECM m emory, and th e MIL will come on. For details, refer to EC-47, "
Logic" .
●The MIL will go off after the vehicle is driven 3 times (driving pattern B) with no malfunction. The drive is
counted only when the recorde d driving pattern is met (as stored in the ECM). If another malfunction
occurs while counting, the counter will reset.
●The DTC and the freeze f rame data will be stored until the vehicle is driven 40 times (dr iving pattern A)
without the same malfunction recurring (except for Misfire and Fuel Injection System). For Misfire and
Fuel Injection System, the DT C and freeze frame data will be stored unti l the vehicle is driven 80 ti mes
(driving pattern C) without the same malfunction recurring. The “TIME” in “SELF-DIAGNOSTIC
RESULTS” mode of CONSULT-II will count the number of times the vehicle is driven.
●The 1st trip DTC is not displayed when the self-diagnosis results in OK for the 2nd trip.

All components and systems should be monitored at least once by the OBD system.
●The B counter will be clear ed when the malf unction is detected once rega rdless of the driving pattern.
●The B counter will be counted up when driving pattern B is satisfied without any malfunction.
●The MIL will go off when the B counter reaches 3. (*2 in “OBD SYSTEM OPERATION CHART”)
<Driving Pattern C>
Driving pattern C means the vehicle operation as follows:
The following conditions should be satisfied at the same ti me:
Engine speed: (Engine speed in the freeze frame data) ±375 rpm
Calculated load value: (Calculated load value in the freeze frame data) x (1±0.1) [%]
Engine coolant temperature (T) condition:
●When the freeze frame data shows lower than 70°C (158°F), T should be lower than 70°C (158°F).
●When the free ze fram e dat a show s hig her tha n or equa l to 70 °C (158°F), T sh ould be hig her tha n or eq ual

Example:
If the stored freeze frame data is as follows:
Engine speed: 850 rpm, Calculated load value: 30%, Engine coolant temperat ure: 80°C (176°F)
To be satisfied with driving pattern C, the vehicle should run under the following conditions:

The engine has an ECM to control major systems such as fuel control, ignition co ntrol, 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 malfunctions such as vacuum leaks, fouled spark plugs, or other malfunctions with the engine.

DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET
Description
There are many operating conditions that lead to the malfunction of
engine compone nt s. A go od gr asp of such c ondi tio ns can make t roubleshooting f aster and more accurate.
In general, each customer feels differently about a incident. It is
important to fully understand the symptoms or conditions for a customer complaint.
Utilize a diagn osti c wo rksh eet li ke th e one on th e ne xt page in ord er
to organize all the information for troubl eshooting.
Some condition s may caus e the M IL to com e on st ea dy or bl ink an d
DTC to be detected. Examples:
●V ehicle ran out of fuel, which caused the engine to misfire.
●Fuel filler cap was left off or incorrectly screwed on, allowing fuel
to evaporate into the atmosphere.

●When there is an open circuit on MIL circuit, the ECM cannot warn the driver by lighting up MIL when
there is malfunction on engine control system.
Therefore, when electrical controlled throttle and part of ECM related diagnoses are continuously detected
as NG for 5 trips, ECM warns the driver that engine control system malfunctions and MIL circuit is open by
means of operating fail-safe function.
The fail-safe function also operates when above diagnoses except MIL circuit are detected and demands
the driver to repair the malfunctio n.
