Procedure 3

READINESS TEST STATUS

The engine-ECU monitors the following main diagno-
sis items, judges if these items are in good condition 
or not, and the stores its history. This history can be 
read out by using M.U.T.-II/III. (If the ECU has judged 
a item before, the M.U.T.-II/III displays "Complete").

In addition, if diagnosis codes are erased or the bat-
tery cable is disconnected, this history will also be 
erased (the memory will be reset).

• Catalyst: P0421

• Oxygen sensor: P0130

• Oxygen sensor heater: P0135, P0141

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 21 minutes or more.

Inspection 
conditions

• Engine coolant temperature: After engine warm up

• Atmospheric temperature: −10°C or more

Test 
procedure

1. Engine: start
2. Accelerate until the vehicle speed is 55 km/h.
3. While keeping the accelerator pedal opening degree constant, keep the vehicle speed at 

55 km/h and travel for 16 minutes or more.

4. Return the vehicle to the shop.
5. After stopping the vehicle, continue idling for 5 minutes, and then turn the ignition switch 

to "LOCK" (OFF) position.

FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION REFERENCE TABLE

When the main sensor malfunctions are detected by the diagnosis function, the vehicle is controlled by 
means of the pre-set control logic to maintain safe conditions for driving.

Malfunctioning item

Control contents during malfunction

Air flow sensor

1. Uses the throttle position sensor signal and engine speed signal (crank angle 

sensor signal) to take reading of the basic injector drive time and basic ignition 
timing from the pre-set mapping.

2. Fixes the idle speed control servo in the appointed position so idle control is not 

performed.

Intake air temperature 
sensor

Controls as if the intake air temperature is 25

°C.

Barometric pressure 
sensor

Controls as if the barometric pressure is 101 kPa.

Throttle position sensor  No increase in fuel injection amount during acceleration due to the throttle position 

sensor signal.

Engine coolant 
temperature sensor

Controls as if the engine coolant temperature is 80

°C.

Intake camshaft 
position sensor

Turns the oil feeder control valve OFF, and sets the valve timing to the most 
retarded angle.

Exhaust camshaft 
position sensor

1. Injects fuel simultaneously into all cylinders (provided that the TDC of the No. 1 

cylinder is not detected even once after the ignition switch has been turned 
"ON").

2. Cuts the supply of fuel 4 seconds after detecting a failure (provided that the TDC 

of the No. 1 cylinder is not detected even once after the ignition switch has been 
turned "ON").

Oxygen sensor (front)

Air-fuel ratio feedback control (closed loop control) is not performed.

Oxygen sensor (rear)

Performs the feedback control (closed loop control) of the air-fuel ratio by using 
only the signal of the oxygen (front) installed on the front of the catalytic converter.

Detonation sensor

Fixes the ignition timing as that for regular gasoline.

Ignition coil 
(incorporating power 
transistor)

Cuts off the fuel supply to cylinders with an abnormal ignition.

Alternator FR terminal

Does not control the output of the alternator according to an electrical load. (works 
as a normal alternator)

Misfiring

If the detected misfiring causes damage to the catalyst, the misfiring cylinder will be 
shut down.

TROUBLESHOOTING

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MPI)

13A-18

NOTE: 

.

Do not replace the engine-ECU until a through terminal check reveals there are no short/open circuit.

Check that the engine-ECU earth circuit is normal before checking for the cause of the problem.

After the engine-ECU has detected a malfunction, a diagnosis code is recorded the next time the engine 
is started and the same malfunction is re-detected. However, for items marked with "*", the diagnosis code 
is recorded on the first detection of the malfunction.

Sensor 1 indicates the sensor mounted at a position closest to the engine, and sensor 2 indicates the sen-
sor mounted at the position second closest to the engine.
