HINT:

When using the intelligent tester, start from *1. When not using the intelligent tester, start from *2.

  1. READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (ENGINE SPEED)*1 
    1. Check the DATA LIST for the proper functioning of the engine speed.

      ECM: 

      ECM REFERENCE

      Item Measurement Item / Display (Range) Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      ENGINE SPD Engine speed / Min.: 0 rpm, Max.: 16,383 rpm Almost equal to actual engine speed (When engine is running) -

      OK: Engine speed on tester is almost equal to actual engine speed. 

    NG : GO TO  SFI SYSTEM 

    OK : GO TO NEXT STEP 

  2. CHECK COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY*2 
    1. Remove the combination meter but do not disconnect the connector.
