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.
Retrieve any continuous memory 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
Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
Access following PIDs.

PCM PID:

• AC_REQ
• PSP
• CPP (MT)
• CPP/PNP (MT)

TCM PID:

• TR (AT)
Monitor each PID.
Are PIDs normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No

AC_REQ PID:

Inspect the A/C switch, refrigerant pressure switch and the fan switch.

PSP PID:

Inspect P/S pressure switch.

CPP PID: (MT)

Inspect the clutch pedal position switch.

CPP/PNP PID: (MT)

Inspect neutral switch.

TR PID: (AT)

Inspect the TR switch.
4
Is there air leakage felt or heard at the intake-air system components while racing engine to higher speed?
Yes
Repair or replace part 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 perform repair or diagnosis.
- If vehicle repaired, troubleshooting completed.
- If vehicle not repaired or additional diagnostic information not available, replace the PCM.
