Self Diagnosis

SELF DIAGNOSIS

The ECM monitors the input/output signals (some signals at all times and the others under specified conditions). When the ECM detects an irregularity, it memorize the diagnostic trouble code, and outputs the signal to the self-diagnosis output terminal. The diagnosis results can be read out Hi-Scan Tool. Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will remain in the ECM as long as battery power is maintained. The diagnostic trouble code will, however, be erased when the battery terminal or the engine control module (ECM) connector is disconnected or erased by Generic Scan Tool.

CHECKING THE PROCEDURES (SELF-DIAGNOSIS)

NOTE
- When battery voltage is low, diagnostic trouble codes can not be read. Be sure to check the battery for voltage and charging system before starting the test.
- Diagnosis memory is erased if the battery or the ECM connector is disconnected. Do not disconnect the battery before the diagnostic trouble codes are completely read and recorded.

Inspection Procedure (Using Hi-Scan Tool)
1. Turn OFF the ignition switch.
2. Connect the scan tool to the data link connector on the lower crash pad.
3. Turn ON the ignition switch.
4. Use the Hi-Scan Tool to check the diagnostic trouble code.
5. Repair the faulty part from the diagnosis chart.
6. Erase the diagnostic trouble code.
7. Disconnect the Hi-Scan Tool.
