When a malfunction is not confirmed by the DTC check, troubleshooting should be carried out in all circuits considered to be possible causes of the problem. In many cases, by carrying out the basic engine check shown in the following flowchart, the location of the problem can be found quickly and efficiently. Therefore, using this check is essential when engine troubleshooting.
1 CHECK BATTERY VOLTAGE
NOTICE: Carry out this check with the engine stopped and ignition switch off. |
Result
2 CHECK WHETHER ENGINE CRANKS
3 CHECK WHETHER ENGINE STARTS
4 CHECK AIR FILTER
(a) Visually check that the air filter is not excessively contaminated with dirt or oil.
5 CHECK IDLING SPEED
(a) Check the idling speed (See page EM-2).
6 CHECK FUEL PRESSURE
(a) Check the fuel pressure (See page FU-7).
7 CHECK FOR SPARKS
(a) Check for sparks (See page ES-217).

Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses the sensors mounted in front of and behind the three-way
catalyst (TWC) to monitor its
efficiency. The first sensor, an Air Fuel ratio (A/F) sensor, sends pre-catalyst
A/F ratio information to the
ECM. The second sensor, a heated oxygen sensor (O2S), sends ...
