Fail-Safe Mode
When the malfunction is detected, the ECM enters fail-safe mode and the MIL lights up.
FAIL-SAFE MODE
| Detected items | Engine operating condition in fail-safe mode | |
|---|---|---|
| Engine coolant temperature sensor circuit | Engine coolant temperature will be determined by ECM based on the time after turning ignition switch ON or START. CONSULT-III displays the engine coolant temperature decided by ECM. |
|
| Condition | Engine coolant temperature decided (CONSULT-III display) | |
| Just as ignition switch is turned ON or START | 40°C (104°F) | |
| More than approx. 4 minutes after ignition ON or START | 80°C (176°F) | |
| Except as shown above | 40 - 80°C (104 - 176°F) (Depends on the time) | |
| When the fail-safe system for engine coolant temperature sensor is activated, the cooling fan operates while engine is running. | ||
