P0421

Drive cycle 
pattern

One trip monitor [from start to ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position] will be completed 
while traveling with the following drive cycle pattern. It will take 16 minutes or more.

Inspection 
condition

• Atmospheric temperature: −10°C or more

Test 
procedure

1. Engine: start
2. Accelerate until the vehicle speed is 90 km/h or more.
3. Travel for 6 minutes or more while keeping the vehicle speed at 90 km/h or more.
4. Decelerate until the vehicle speed is within 80 km/h or less.
5. While traveling at 55 

− 80 km/h for 10 minutes or more, fully close the throttle at least once 

in 2 minutes and decelerate for 10 seconds or more.

• Do not repeat deceleration too often.

• Vehicle speed may go below 55 km/h after the deceleration.

• Stopping and braking are permitted. (If stopped or drive at 55 km/h or less for more 

than 5 minutes the monitoring may be stopped. In this case please restart monitoring 
from the beginning.)

6. After completing the above deceleration, bring the vehicle speed back to 55 

− 80 km/h and 

keep it in the range until starting the deceleration again.

• Repeat the above deceleration at least 5 times.

7. Return the vehicle to the shop, then turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Drive cycle 
pattern

One trip monitor [from start to ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position] will be completed 
while traveling with the following drive cycle pattern. It will take 16 minutes or more.

Test 
procedure

1. Engine: start
2. Accelerate until the vehicle speed is 55

3. While keeping the accelerator pedal opening degree constant, keep the vehicle speed at 

55 

− 80km/h and travel for 16 minutes or more.

• Stopping and braking during this operation are permitted.

4. Return the vehicle to the shop, then turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position.

FAIL-SAFE/BACKUP FUNCTION

When the diagnosis function detects a malfunction in 
any of the main sensors, the fail-safe/backup func-
tion enables the vehicle to still be driven safely by 
using one of the pre-established control logics appro-
priate for the malfunctioning sensor.
CONTROL DETAILS BY FAIL-SAFE/BACKUP FUNCTION

Malfunctioning item Control detail
Air flow sensor

1. Based on the throttle position sensor signal data and the crank angle sensor 

signal data (engine speed data), the ECU determines the basic injector 
activation time and basic ignition timing from a pre-established map.

2. The ECU does not control the idling speed.

Intake air temperature 
sensor

The ECU performs control assuming a 25

°C intake air temperature.

Engine coolant 
temperature sensor

The ECU performs control assuming a 80

°C engine coolant temperature. (This 

control persists until the ignition switch is turned to the "LOCK" (OFF) position 
even after the engine coolant sensor starts re-supplying normal signals.)

Oxygen sensor 
<front>

Air/fuel ratio closed loop control is not performed.

Oxygen sensor 
<rear>

Per forms the closed loop control of the air/fuel ratio by using only the signal of 
the oxygen sensor (front) installed on the front side of the catalytic converter.

Throttle position 
sensor (main)

• The ECU controls the throttle valve position using signals from the throttle 

position sensor (sub).

• The ECU assumes the accelerator position to be at an approximately 

half-stroke position.

• Engine speed feedback control is prohibited.

• The ECU cuts off fuel supply when the engine speed exceeds 3,000 r/min.

• When the throttle position sensor (sub) is also malfunctioning, the ECU 

deactivates the electronic-controlled throttle valve system and limits the 
engine output to a certain low level.

Accelerator pedal 
position sensor 
(main)

• The ECU determines the accelerator pedal position using the signals from 

the accelerator pedal position sensor (sub). However, the pedal stroke 
position thus determined is interpreted as approximately a half of the normal 
state position.

• The ECU cuts off fuel supply when the engine speed exceeds 3,000 r/min.

• When the accelerator pedal position sensor (sub) is also malfunctioning, the 

ECU deactivates the electronic-controlled throttle valve system and limits the 
engine output to a certain low level.

Throttle position 
sensor (sub)

• The ECU controls the throttle valve position using signals from the throttle 

position sensor (main).

• The ECU assumes the accelerator position to be an approximately 

half-stroke position.

• The ECU cuts off fuel supply when the engine speed exceeds 3,000 r/min.

• When the throttle position sensor (main) is also malfunctioning, the ECU 

deactivates the electronic-controlled throttle valve system and limits the 
engine output to a certain low level.

Ignition coil (power 
transistor)

The ECU stops fuel injection into the cylinder with abnormal ignition.

Detonation sensor

The ECU fixes the ignition timing to a one safe enough against detonation.
