Self-Diagnostic System: Notes

Self-diagnostic system is used for diagnosing malfunctions of Electronic Concentrated Control System (ECCS) sensors and actuators. Electronic Control Unit (ECU) has a number of available diagnostic modes within computer.

Maxima has 5 diagnostic modes. All others have 2 modes with subdivisions. Before selecting any mode of self-diagnosis, always perform procedures listed in BASIC TESTING article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section. Doing so prevents wasted time and invalid diagnostic results.

NOTE: When performing BASIC TESTING be careful not to erase any diagnostic information stored in ECU memory.
