Diagnostic System

The ECU is equipped with a self-diagnostic system which detects system failures or abnormalities. When malfunction occurs, the "CHECK ENGINE" light on instrument panel is activated. On models with Super Monitor Display, trouble code may be obtained from the screen on the instrument panel.

By analyzing various signals, the ECU detects system malfunctions related to various operating parameter sensors. The ECU stores trouble codes associated with the detected failure until the diagnostic system is cleared. The "CHECK ENGINE" light will go out when trouble codes are cleared.
