MALFUNCTION INDICATOR

Description

INFOID:0000000001096983

The Malfunction Indicator (MI) is located on the combination meter.
The MI will light up when the ignition switch is turned ON without the
engine running. This is a bulb check.
When the engine is started, the MI should go off. If the MI remains
on, the on board diagnostic system has detected an engine system
malfunction.
For details, refer to 

EC-593, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION

POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION

Description

INFOID:0000000001096986

This system returns blow-by gas to the intake manifold.
The positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve is provided to conduct crankcase blow-by gas to the intake
manifold.
During partial throttle operation of the engine, the intake manifold sucks the blow-by gas through the PCV
valve.
Normally, the capacity of the valve is sufficient to handle any blow-by and a small amount of ventilating air.
The ventilating air is then drawn from the air inlet tubes into the crankcase. In this process the air passes
through the hose connecting air inlet tubes to rocker cover.
Under full-throttle condition, the manifold vacuum is insufficient to draw the blow-by flow through the valve.
The flow goes through the hose connection in the reverse direction.
On vehicles with an excessively high blow-by, the valve does not
meet the requirement. This is because some of the flow will go
through the hose connection to the air inlet tubes under all condi-
tions.

Component Inspection

INFOID:0000000001096987

1.

CHECK PCV VALVE

With engine running at idle, remove PCV valve from rocker cover. A
properly working valve makes a hissing noise as air passes through
it. A strong vacuum should be felt immediately when a finger is
placed over valve inlet.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> INSPECTION END

NO

>> Replace PCV valve.

REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR

Description

INFOID:0000000001096988

The refrigerant pressure sensor is installed at the condenser of the air conditioner system. The sensor uses an
electrostatic volume pressure transducer to convert refrigerant pressure to voltage. The voltage signal is sent
to ECM, and ECM controls cooling fan system.

Component Function Check

INFOID:0000000001096989

1.

CHECK REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR OVERALL FUNCTION

1.

Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.

2.

Turn A/C switch and blower fan switch ON.

3.

Check the voltage between ECM harness connector and ground.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> INSPECTION END

NO

>> Go to 

EC-595, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

Diagnosis Procedure

INFOID:0000000001096990

1.

CHECK GROUND CONNECTION

1.

Turn A/C switch and blower fan switch OFF.

2.

Stop engine.

3.

Turn ignition switch OFF.

4.

Check ground connection E21. Refer to Ground Inspection in 

GI-41, "Circuit Inspection"

. 

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> GO TO 2.

NO

>> Repair or replace ground connection.

2.

CHECK REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT

1.

Disconnect refrigerant pressure sensor harness connector.

2.

Turn ignition switch ON.

3.

Check the voltage between refrigerant pressure sensor harness connector and ground.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> GO TO 4.

NO

>> GO TO 3.
