DTC Confirmation Procedure

  1. PRECONDITIONING

    If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always perform the following before conducting the next test.

    1. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
    2. Turn ignition switch ON.
    3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.

      GO TO 2.

  2. PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION A
    1. Activate "INSPECTION MODE 1 " to start engine, and warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
    2. Wait at least 10 seconds at idle speed.
    3. Check 1st trip DTC.

    Is 1st trip DTC detected? 

    YES : Go to "DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE ".

    NO-1 : With CONSULT-III: GO TO 3.

    NO-2 : With GST: GO TO  5.

  3. CHECK MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR FUNCTION
    1. Activate "INSPECTION MODE 1 " to start engine, and warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
    2. Select "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT-III.
    3. Check the voltage of "MAS A/F SE-B1" with "DATA MONITOR".
    4. Increases engine speed to about 2,500 rpm.
    5. Monitor the linear voltage rise in response to engine speed increases.

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES : GO TO 4.

    NO : Go to "DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE ".

  4. PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION B
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Turn ignition switch ON (READY) and drive vehicle.
    3. Maintain the following conditions for at least 10 consecutive seconds.
      ENGINE SPEED AND VOLTAGE SPECIFICATION

      ENG SPEED More than 2,000 rpm
      THRTL SEN 1-B1 More than 3V
      THRTL SEN 2-B1 More than 3V
      Shift lever Suitable position
      Driving location Driving vehicle uphill (Increased engine load) will help maintain the driving conditions required for this test.
      CAUTION: Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
    4. Check 1st trip DTC.

    Is 1st trip DTC detected? 

    YES : Go to "DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE ".

    NO : INSPECTION END

  5. PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK FOR MALFUNCTION B

    Perform component function check. Refer to "COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK ".

    NOTE: Use component function check to check the overall function of the mass air flow sensor circuit. During this check, a DTC might not be confirmed.

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES : INSPECTION END

    NO : Go to "DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE ".
