Using the M-MDS

NOTE:
  1. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
  3. Measure the PID value.
    • If PID value is not within the specification, follow the instructions in the "Inspection item" column.

      NOTE:
      • The PID/DATA MONITOR function monitors the calculated value of the input/output signals in the PCM. Therefore, an output device malfunction is not directly indicated as a malfunction of the monitored value for the output device. If a monitored value of an output device is out of specification, inspect the monitored value of the input device related to the output control.
      • For input/output signals except those of the monitoring items, use a voltmeter to measure the PCM terminal voltage.
      • The simulation items that are used in the ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION INSPECTION are as follows.
        • ACCS, ALTF, ARPMDES, FAN_DUTY, EVAPCP, FP, FUELPW1, GENVDSD, HTR11, HTR12, IMRC, INJ_1, INJ_2, INJ_3, INJ_4, SEGRP, test, VT DUTY1, WGC
