On Board Diagnosis Logic








DTC Confirmation Procedure

NOTE:
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.

8.If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to .

WITH GST






1.Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2.Check that voltage between ECM terminal 43 (Fuel tank temperature sensor signal) and ground is less than 4.2 V.
3.Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
4.Wait at least 10 seconds.
5.Select Service $07 with GST.
If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to .


Wiring Diagram






Specification data are reference values and are measured between each terminal and ground.

CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in damage to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.
