CONFIRMATION METHOD

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
1. Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Select "System select."
4. Choose "from 2006 MY" under "MODEL YEAR".
5. Check that "Vehicle Information" contents are correct.
6. Choose "MFI".
7. Select "Special Function" from MFI Screen.
8. Select "Provisional DTCs" from Special Function Screen.

PERMANENT DTC

The permanent DTC(PDTC) is stored in the EEPROM of the
engine control module (ECM) as the permanent status, which
checks that the malfunction of the emission related compo-
nents/ the system has not been repaired yet. When detecting
the malfunction necessary to illuminate the malfunction indica-
tor lamp (SERVICE ENGINE SOON or Check Engine Lamp),
the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores the appropriate DTC as
the permanent DTC in the EEPROM concurrently. The usual
DTC is stored in the EEPROM aside from this. The ECM can
store up to 6 PDTCs. The ECM, therefore, cannot store the 7th
and subsequent PDTCs. If the temporary malfunction causes
the malfunction indicator lamp to be illuminated and then the
reinstatement during the subsequent driving causes it to be
extinguished, the PDTC is erased. Also if the ECM checks that
the DTC malfunction is fixed during the driving after the DTC
repair is completed, the PDTC is erased. The permanent DTC,
however, is not erased by disconnecting the battery terminal or
erasing with the scan tool (M.U.T-III). The permanent DTC can
be erased if all readiness statuses are erased or not completed
at the time of reprogramming the ECM. If must be erased while
the vehicle is repaired, the PDTC can be erased by the proce-
dures shown below. If must be erased because of the failure to
pass the Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) test, the permanent
DTC can also be erased by the following procedure:

PROCEDURES FOR ERASING PERMANENT DTC

1. Check that the DTC is not stored. If the DTC is stored,

perform the DTC troubleshooting, then repair the DTC.
NOTE: The order of step 2 and 3 can be exchanged.

2. Drive the vehicle at least once under the conditions

satisfying all the following requirements:

• The total driving (engine running) time must be more than

10 consecutive minutes.

• More than 30 seconds of idling must be included in the driv-

ing

• More than 5 consecutive minutes of driving at more than 40

km/h (25 mph) must be included in the driving.

3. Drive the vehicle at least two times in the drive cycle pattern

suitable for the permanent DTC. (Refer to OBD-II DRIVE
CYCLE for the drive cycle pattern.) If the DTC does not have
the drive cycle pattern, start and stop the engine. Wait 15
seconds or more to start again after the stop. Repeat at least
2 times.

4. Restart and stop the engine.
5. Check that the permanent DTC is erased. If the permanent

DTC is not erased, check the DTC or the provisional DTC. If
the malfunction code is stored, repair the DTC. Try to erase
the permanent DTC again (from Step 1 to 5). If the
malfunction code is not stored, the drive cycle pattern (Step
3) monitoring the malfunction can possibly be insufficient.

MODE 6 REFERENCE TABLE

The engine control module (ECM) monitors the condition of
emission control system.
By selecting MODE 6 using scan tool, Test Result and Limit
Value (minimum) *1 or (maximum) *2 about the main items of
emission control system which ECM monitors can be con-
firmed. The value at the last monitoring is output by ECM as a
test result.
