Self-Diagnostics - 1.8L

INTRODUCTION
Perform all basic diagnostic procedures in BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES article. If no fault is
found while performing basic diagnostic procedures, proceed with ADDITIONAL SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
below.

ADDITIONAL SYSTEM FUNCTIONS

DESCRIPTIONS

Use the NGS tester for diagnosis on OBD-II equipped vehicles. The NGS tester has a generic scan tool
function that is standard across the automotive industry in the United States. It also performs the
manufacture's specific functions; that is, the NGS tester can perform various functions according to the
vehicle and program card selected.

GENERIC FUNCTIONS

Use these functions by selecting " GENERIC OBDII FUNCTIONS " from the NGS tester menu screen.
These functions enable you to monitor on-board diagnostic system data and DTCs that are related to
emissions, as defined and fixed by OBD-II regulations. These functions are found even in commonly
marketed scan tools and are called "generic functions".

SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS

"Specific functions" are original scan tool functions created by various manufactures in order to be able to
troubleshoot effectively. When using these functions, the correct vehicle model and program card must be
selected.

PENDING TROUBLE CODES

The following functions are generic functions.

These appear when a problem is detected in a monitored system. The MIL is illuminated when a problem is
detected in two consecutive drive cycles. The code for a failed system is stored in the PCM memory in the
first drive cycle. This code is called the pending code. If the problem is not found in the second drive cycle,
the PCM judges that the system returned to normal or the problem was mistakenly detected, and deletes the
pending code. If the problem is found in the second drive cycle too, the PCM judges that the system has
failed, deletes the pending code, illuminates the MIL and stored the DTC.

FREEZE FRAME DATA

This is the technical data which indicates the engine's condition at the time of the first malfunction. This
data will remain in the memory even if another emission-related DTC is stored, with the exception of the
Misfire or Fuel System DTCs. Once freeze frame data for the Misfire or Fuel System DTC is stored, it will
overwrite any previous data and the freeze frame will not be overwritten again.

ON-BOARD SYSTEM READINESS TEST

ENGINE PERFORMANCE Self-Diagnostics - 1.8L

This shows OBD-II systems operating status. If any monitor function is incomplete, NGS tester will identify
which monitor function has not been completed. Misfires, Fuel System and Comprehensive Components
(CCM) are continuous monitoring-type functions and will display a "CONT" message on the screen of the
NGS tester. The catalyst, EGR system, evaporation system and oxygen sensor will be monitored under drive
cycles. The NGS tester will display a "YES" message once those system monitor functions are completed.
The OBD-II diagnostic system is initialized by performing the DTC cancellation procedure or disconnecting
the negative battery cable.

DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS

These results from the intermittent monitor system's technical data, which are used to determine whether the
system is normal or not. They also display the system's thresholds and diagnostic results. The intermittent
monitor system monitors the oxygen sensor, evaporative purge system, catalyst and the EGR system.

READ/CLEAR DIAGNOSTIC TEST RESULTS

The following functions are generic functions.

This retrieves all stored DTCs in the PCM and clears the DTC, Freeze Frame Data, On-Board Readiness
Test Results, Diagnostic Monitoring Test Results and Pending Trouble Codes.

PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION (PID) ACCESS

The PID mode allows access to certain data values, analog and digital inputs and outputs, calculated values
and system status information. Since PID values for output devices are PCM internal data values, perform
the Simulation Test to identify which output devices are malfunctioning.

SIMULATION TEST

Output devices can be turned on and off by sending simulation command signals from the NGS tester to the
PCM. The "Idling Test" and "Ignition ON Test" are available in this test. These tests will verify the PCM
status, output devices, and related circuit wiring harnesses.

OBDII DRIVE MODE PROTEGE 1.8L

Performing the Drive Mode inspects the OBD II system for proper operation and must be performed to
ensure that no additional DTCs are present.

During Drive Mode, the following systems are inspected:

z EGR system
z Oxygen sensor (HO2S)
z Oxygen sensor heater
z Catalytic converter (TWC)
z Fuel, misfire and evaporative (EVAP) system

CAUTION: While performing the Drive Mode, always operate the vehicle in a safe
and lawful manner.

When the NGS tester is used to observe monitor system status while

driving, be sure to have another technician with you, or record the data
in the NGS tester using the PID/DATA MONITOR AND RECORD function
and inspect later.

NOTE: Vehicle speed and engine speed detected by the PCM may differ from that
indicated by the speedometer and tachometer. Use the NGS tester to monitor
vehicle speed.

If the OBD II system inspection is not completed during the Drive Mode, the
following causes are considered:

1. The OBD II system detects the malfunction.

2. The Drive Mode procedure is not completed correctly.

Disconnecting the battery will reset the memory. Do not disconnect the
battery during and after Drive Mode.

The NGS tester can be used at anytime through the course of Drive Mode to
monitor the completion status. Monitoring can be

Mode 1 (PCM adaptive memory produce drive mode)

NOTE: The PCM adaptive memory status can be confirmed with RFC FLAG PID.

If RFC FLAG PID is ON, Mode 1 is not necessary, because PCM already has
adaptive memory.

If RFC FLAG PID is OFF, Mode 1 should be performed before Mode 2 or 3.

1. Start the engine and warm up completely.

2. Verify the following conditions and correct if necessary:
z All accessory loads (A/C, headlights, blower fan, rear window defroster) are off.

z Initial ignition timing and idle speed are within specification.

z TEN and GND of DLC are not connected.

3. With the transmission set in Park or Neutral, perform no load racing at the engine speed, 2300-2700
rpm for more than 15 seconds, increase to 3800-4200 rpm for more than 15 seconds, then idle the
engine for more than 20 seconds after the cooling fan stopped. If possible, monitor RPM PID for
engine speed and FAN3 PID for cooling fan status during this procedure.
4. Turn the ignition key off then on again.
5. Access to RFC FLAG PID to confirm PCM adaptive memory status. If RFC FLAG PID is ON, Mode
1 is completed.
6. If RFC FLAG PID is still OFF, go back to Step 1

Mode 2 (EGR system repair verification drive mode)

1. Access to RFC FLAG PID to confirm PCM adaptive memory status. If RFC FLAG PID is OFF,
perform Mode 1 first.
2. If RFC FLAG PID is ON, start the engine and warm up completely.
