INSPECTION PROCEDURE

CAUTION:

If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.
1.

Turn ignition switch “OFF”.

2.

Connect “CONSULT-II” and “CONSULT-II CONVERTER” to
data link connector, which is located under LH dash panel near
the hood opener handle.

3.

Turn ignition switch “ON”.

REAL TIME DIAGNOSIS IN DATA MONITOR MODE (RECORDING VEHICLE DATA)
Description

CONSULT-II has two kinds of triggers and they can be selected by touching “SETTING” in “DATA MONITOR”
mode.

1.

“AUTO TRIG” (Automatic trigger):

The malfunction will be identified on the CONSULT-II screen
in real time.
In other words, DTC/1st trip DTC and malfunction item will be
displayed if the malfunction is detected by ECM.
At the moment a malfunction is detected by ECM, “MONI-
TOR” in “DATA MONITOR” screen is changed to “Recording
Data ... xx%” as shown at right, and the data after the mal-
function detection is recorded. Then when the percentage
reached 100%, “REAL-TIME DIAG” screen is displayed. If
“STOP” is touched on the screen during “Recording Data ...
xx%”, “REAL-TIME DIAG” screen is also displayed.
The recording time after the malfunction detection and the
recording speed can be changed by “TRIGGER POINT” and
“Recording Speed”. Refer to CONSULT-II OPERATION MAN-
UAL.

2.

“MANU TRIG” (Manual trigger):

DTC/1st trip DTC and malfunction item will not be displayed
automatically on CONSULT-II screen even though a malfunc-
tion is detected by ECM.
DATA MONITOR can be performed continuously even though
a malfunction is detected.

Operation

1.

“AUTO TRIG”

While trying to detect the DTC/1st trip DTC by performing the “DTC Confirmation Procedure”, be sure
to select to “DATA MONITOR (AUTO TRIG)” mode. You can confirm the malfunction at the moment it is
detected.

While narrowing down the possible causes, CONSULT-II should be set in “DATA MONITOR (AUTO
TRIG)” mode, especially in case the incident is intermittent.
When you are inspecting the circuit by gently shaking (or twisting) the suspicious connectors, compo-
nents and harness in the “DTC Confirmation Procedure”, the moment a malfunction is found the DTC/
1st trip DTC will be displayed. (Refer to "INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS" in 

GI-26, "How to Perform

Efficient Diagnosis for an Electrical Incident"

 .)

2.

“MANU TRIG”

If the malfunction is displayed as soon as “DATA MONITOR” is selected, reset CONSULT-II to “MANU
TRIG”. By selecting “MANU TRIG” you can monitor and store the data. The data can be utilized for fur-
ther diagnosis, such as a comparison with the value for the normal operating condition.

Generic Scan Tool (GST) Function

ABS004B2

DESCRIPTION

Generic Scan Tool (OBDII scan tool) complying with SAE J1978 has
8 different functions explained below.
ISO9141 is used as the protocol.
The name “GST” or “Generic Scan Tool” is used in this service man-
ual.

FUNCTION

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1.

Turn ignition switch OFF.

2.

Connect “GST” to data link connector, which is located under LH
dash panel near the hood opener handle.

Diagnostic test mode

Function

MODE 1

READINESS TESTS

This mode gains access to current emission-related data values, including analog inputs 
and outputs, digital inputs and outputs, and system status information.

MODE 2

(FREEZE DATA)

This mode gains access to emission-related data value which were stored by ECM during 
the freeze frame. For details, refer to 

EC-74, "FREEZE FRAME DATA AND 1ST TRIP 

FREEZE FRAME DATA"

 .

MODE 3

DTCs

This mode gains access to emission-related power train trouble codes which were stored 
by ECM.

MODE 4

CLEAR DIAG INFO

This mode can clear all emission-related diagnostic information. This includes:

Clear number of diagnostic trouble codes (MODE 1)

Clear diagnostic trouble codes (MODE 3)

Clear trouble code for freeze frame data (MODE 1)

Clear freeze frame data (MODE 2)

Reset status of system monitoring test (MODE 1)

Clear on board monitoring test results (MODE 6 and 7)

MODE 6

(ON BOARD TESTS)

This mode accesses the results of on board diagnostic monitoring tests of specific com-
ponents/systems that are not continuously monitored.

MODE 7

(ON BOARD TESTS)

This mode enables the off board test drive to obtain test results for emission-related pow-
ertrain components/systems that are continuously monitored during normal driving condi-
tions.

MODE 8

This mode can close EVAP system in ignition switch “ON” position (Engine stopped). 
When this mode is performed, the following parts can be opened or closed.

EVAP canister vent control valve open

In the following conditions, this mode cannot function.

Low ambient temperature

Low battery voltage

Engine running

Ignition switch “OFF”

Low fuel temperature

Too much pressure is applied to EVAP system

MODE 9

(CALIBRATION ID)

This mode enables the off-board test device to request specific vehicle information such 
as Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and Calibration IDs.

CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data Monitor

ABS004B3

Remarks:

 Specification data are reference values.

 Specification data are output/input values which are detected or supplied by the ECM at the connector.

* Specification data may not be directly related to their components signals/values/operations.
i.e. Adjust ignition timing with a timing light before monitoring IGN TIMING, because the monitor may show the specification data in

spite of the ignition timing not being adjusted to the specification data. This IGN TIMING monitors the data calculated by the ECM
according to the signals input from the camshaft position sensor and other ignition timing related sensors.
