SELF-DIAGNOSIS
The ECU monitors the input/output signals (some signals at all times and the others under specified conditions).

There are 14 diagnosis items, including the normal state, and the diagnosis results can be read Out with voltmeter or Multi-use tester.

Trouble codes will remain in the ECU as long as battery power is maintained. The trouble codes will, however, be erased when the battery terminal or the engine control unit connector is disconnected.
