DTC DETECTING CONDITION: Detected when two consecutive driving cycles with fault occur. CAUTION: After servicing or replacing faulty parts, perform Clear Memory Mode Clear Memory Mode > OPERATION, and Inspection Mode Inspection Mode > PROCEDURE.
1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS Detect malfunction of soaking timer IC by the five diagnoses below.
2. COMPONENT DESCRIPTION The soaking timer IC is built into the ECM. 3. EXECUTION CONDITION
4. GENERAL DRIVING CYCLE Perform the diagnosis only once when the ignition switch is OFF and when the ignition switch is ON after the soaking of one hour or more. 5. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD Start the count up operation of counters in ECM and in soaking timer IC when the engine is started. Judge as timer malfunction if the difference between the counter in ECM and counter in soaking timer IC exceeds the allowable limit when the ignition switch is OFF. Judge as NG when the following conditions are established.
Reset the counter in soaking timer IC and start the count up operation. Judge as full count diagnosis malfunction if counter in soaking timer IC is not $3FF (1023 count) after 4 seconds. Judge as NG when the following conditions are established.
When setting the activation setting time to soaking timer IC, compare the writing value to soaking timer IC with read out value. Judge as malfunction if the values do not match 3 times in a row. Judge as NG when the following conditions are established.
Wake-up at the predetermined interval until 5 or 7 or 9.5 hours have passed after the ignition switch is OFF, and compare the counter in soaking timer IC with the counter in ECM. Judge as malfunction if the counter in soaking timer IC is counted up to maximum value (1023 count) when the counter in ECM is 1636 ms, or if the counter in soaking timer IC is not counted up to maximum value (1023 count) when the counter in ECM is 2456 ms. Judge as NG when the following conditions are established.
Store the number of wake-up activation when the ECM wakes up by the soaking timer IC. Next time when the ignition switch is ON, if the number of wake-up activation does not reach the predetermined value even though the counter in soaking timer IC operates 1 hour or more, judge as wake-up malfunction. Judge as NG when the following conditions are established.
Judge as NG when the following conditions are established.
Time Needed for Diagnosis: Approx. 5 — 9.5 hours Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination: Illuminates when malfunction occurs in 2 continuous driving cycles. |
