Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

RESULTS

ACTION

1
Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
Access ECT PID.
Start and warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
Is ECT PID between 82—112°C {180—234°F}?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
ECT PID is higher than 112°C {234°F}:
Go to symptom troubleshooting “No.17 Cooling system concerns - Overheating”.
ECT PID is less than 82°C {180°F}:
Go to symptom troubleshooting “No.18 Cooling system concerns - Runs cold”.
2
Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Engine off).
Retrieve any DTCs.
Are there any DTCs displayed?
Yes
DTC is displayed:
Go to the appropriate DTC inspection.
No
No DTC is displayed:
Go to the next step.
3
Access and monitor PSP and TR PIDs.
Are PIDs values normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
If the AC_REQ PID is not normal:
•  Inspect A/C switch, refrigerant pressure switch, and fan switch, and related wiring harness for vibration or intermittent open/short circuit.
If the TR PID is not normal:
•  Inspect TR switch and related wiring harness for vibration or intermittent open/short circuit.
If the PSP PID is not normal:
•  Inspect power steering switch and related wiring harness for vibration or intermittent open/short circuit.
4
Is there air leakage felt or heard at intake-air system components while racing engine to higher speed?
Yes
Repair or replace parts if necessary.
No
Inspect the following:
•  Electronic throttle control system operation
•  Accelerator pedal position sensor
5
•  Verify test results.
―  If normal, return to diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms.
―  If malfunction remains, inspect related Service Information and perform repair or diagnosis.
•  If vehicle is repaired, troubleshooting completed.
