UNDER THE CONDITION EXCEPT ABOVE, CONSULT-
III WILL DISCONTINUE IT AND DISPLAY APPROPRI-
ATE INSTRUCTION.
NOTE:
WHEN STARTING ENGINE, CONSULT-III MAY DIS-
PLAY “BATTERY VOLTAGE IS LOW. CHARGE BAT-
TERY”, EVEN IN USING CHARGED BATTERY.

When detecting EVAP vapor leak

FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE

• FUEL PUMP WILL STOP BY TOUCHING “START” DUR-

ING IDLING.
CRANK A FEW TIMES AFTER ENGINE STALLS.

When releasing fuel pressure from
fuel line

SELF-LEARNING CONT

• THE COEFFICIENT OF SELF-LEARNING CONTROL

MIXTURE RATIO RETURNS TO THE ORIGINAL COEF-
FICIENT.

Description

DIAG TROUBLE
CODE
[PXXXX]

• The engine control component part/control system has a trouble code, it is displayed as PXXXX. (Refer to

EC-552, "DTC Index"

.)

CAL/LD VALUE [%]

• The calculated load value at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed.

COOLANT TEMP [

°

C]

or [

°

F]

• The engine coolant temperature at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed.

L-FUEL TRM-B1 [%]

• “Long-term fuel trim” at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed.
• The long-term fuel trim indicates much more gradual feedback compensation to the base fuel schedule than

short-term fuel trim.

L-FUEL TRM-B2 [%]

S-FUEL TRM-B1 [%]

• “Short-term fuel trim” at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed.
• The short-term fuel trim indicates dynamic or instantaneous feedback compensation to the base fuel sched-

ule.

Unit

Description

Remarks

ENG SPEED

rpm

• Indicates the engine speed computed from the

signal of the crankshaft position sensor (POS)
and camshaft position sensor (PHASE).

• Accuracy becomes poor if engine

speed drops below the idle rpm.

• If the signal is interrupted while the

engine is running, an abnormal value
may be indicated.

MAS A/F SE-B1

V

• The signal voltage of the mass air flow sensor is

displayed.

• When the engine is stopped, a certain

value is indicated.

• When engine is running specification

range is indicated in “SPEC”.

MAS A/F SE-B2

B/FUEL SCHDL

msec

• “Base fuel schedule” indicates the fuel injection

pulse width programmed into ECM, prior to any
learned on board correction.

• When engine is running specification

range is indicated in “SPEC”.

A/F ALPHA-B1

%

• The mean value of the air-fuel ratio feedback cor-

rection factor per cycle is indicated.

• When the engine is stopped, a certain

value is indicated.

• This data also includes the data for

the air-fuel ratio learning control.

• When engine is running specification

range is indicated in “SPEC”.

A/F ALPHA-B2

COOLAN TEMP/S

°

C or

°

F

• The engine coolant temperature (determined by

the signal voltage of the engine coolant tempera-
ture sensor) is displayed.

• When the engine coolant temperature

sensor is open or short-circuited,
ECM enters fail-safe mode. The en-
gine coolant temperature determined
by the ECM is displayed.

A/F SEN1 (B1)

V

• The A/F signal computed from the input signal of

the air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1 is displayed.

A/F SEN1 (B2)

HO2S2 (B1)

V

• The signal voltage of the heated oxygen sensor 2

is displayed.

HO2S2 (B2)

HO2S2 MNTR (B1)

RICH/LEAN

• Display of heated oxygen sensor 2 signal:

RICH: means the amount of oxygen after three
way catalyst is relatively small.
LEAN: means the amount of oxygen after three
way catalyst is relatively large.

• When the engine is stopped, a certain

value is indicated.

HO2S2 MNTR (B2)

VHCL SPEED SE

km/h or mph

• The vehicle speed computed from the vehicle

speed signal sent from combination meter is dis-
played.
