ECU DIAGNOSIS INFORMATION

ECM

CONSULT Reference Value in Data Monitor Mode

INFOID:0000000009481704

NOTE:

• The following table includes information (items) inapplicable to this vehicle. For information (items) applica-

ble to this vehicle, refer to CONSULT display items.

• Numerical values in the following table are reference values.

• These values are input/output values that ECM receives/transmits and may differ from actual operations.

Example:

The ignition timing shown by the timing light may differ from the ignition timing displayed on the data monitor.

This occurs because the timing light shows a value calculated by ECM according to signals received from

the cam shaft position sensor and other sensors related to ignition timing.

For outlines of following items, refer to

EC-1008, "CONSULT Function"
