Diagnostic Test

  1. PRECONDITIONING

    Make sure that all of the following conditions are satisfied.

    Learning will be cancelled if any of the following conditions are missed for even a moment.

    • Battery voltage: More than 12.9 V (At idle)
    • Engine coolant temperature: 70 - 100°C (158 - 212°F)
    • Selector lever: P or N (CVT), Neutral (M/T)
    • Electric load switch: OFF

      (Air conditioner, headlamp, rear window defogger)

      • For vehicles equipped with daytime light systems, perform one of the following procedures before starting engine not to illuminate headlamps. 
        • Apply parking brake
        • Set lighting switch to the 1st position
    • Steering wheel: Neutral (Straight-ahead position) position
    • Vehicle speed: Stopped
    • Transmission: Warmed-up
      • CVT models
        • With CONSULT: Drive vehicle until "FLUID TEMP SE" in "DATA MONITOR" mode of "TRANSMISSION" system indicates less than 0.9 V.
        • Without CONSULT: Drive vehicle for 10 minutes.
      • M/T models
        • Drive vehicle for 10 minutes.

    Do you have CONSULT?

    YES 

    GO TO STEP 2  .

    NO 

    GO TO STEP 3  .

  2. IDLE AIR VOLUME LEARNING

    G-20With CONSULT 

    1. Perform ACCELERATOR PEDAL RELEASED POSITION LEARNING. Refer to DESCRIPTION .
    2. Perform THROTTLE VALVE CLOSED POSITION LEARNING. Refer to DESCRIPTION .
    3. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
    4. Select "IDLE AIR VOL LEARN" in "WORK SUPPORT" mode with CONSULT.
    5. Touch "START" and wait 20 seconds.

    Is "CMPLT" displayed on CONSULT screen?

    YES 

    GO TO STEP 4  .

    NO 

    GO TO STEP 5  .

  3. IDLE AIR VOLUME LEARNING

    G-21Without CONSULT 

    NOTE:
    • It is better to count the time accurately with a clock. 
    • It is impossible to switch the diagnostic mode when an accelerator pedal position sensor circuit has a malfunction. 
    1. Perform ACCELERATOR PEDAL RELEASED POSITION LEARNING. Refer to DESCRIPTION .
    2. Perform THROTTLE VALVE CLOSED POSITION LEARNING. Refer to DESCRIPTION .
    3. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
    4. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
    5. Confirm that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch ON and wait 3 seconds.
    6. Repeat the following procedure quickly five times within 5 seconds.
      1. Fully depress the accelerator pedal.
      2. Fully release the accelerator pedal.
    7. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 20 seconds until the MIL stops blinking and turned ON.
    8. Fully release the accelerator pedal within 3 seconds after the MIL turned ON.
    9. Start engine and let it idle.
    10. Wait 20 seconds.

    GO TO STEP 4  .

  4. CHECK IDLE SPEED AND IGNITION TIMING

    Rev up the engine two or three times and make sure that idle speed and ignition timing are within the specifications.

    For specification, refer to IDLE SPEED and IGNITION TIMING .

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES 

    INSPECTION END

    NO 

    GO TO STEP 5  .

  5. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART

    Check the following

    • Check that throttle valve is fully closed.
    • Check PCV valve operation.
    • Check that downstream of throttle valve is free from air leakage.

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES 

    GO TO STEP 6  .

    NO 

    Repair or replace malfunctioning part.

  6. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART

    Engine component parts and their installation condition are questionable. Check and eliminate the cause of the incident.

    It is useful to perform "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS - SPECIFICATION VALUE". Refer to DESCRIPTION .

    If any of the following conditions occur after the engine has started, eliminate the cause of the incident and perform Idle Air Volume Learning all over again:

    • Engine stalls.
    • Erroneous idle.
