Component Tests and General Diagnostics
PCM INSPECTION[L3]
Using the M-MDS
NOTE:
- PIDs for the following parts are not available on this model. Perform the specific inspections for the following parts:
- CMP sensor (See CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR INSPECTION[L3].)Testing and Inspection
- Main relay
1. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON position.
3. Measure the PID value.
- If PID value is not within the specification, follow the instructions in Action column.
NOTE:
- The PID/DATA MONITOR function monitors the calculated value of the input output signals in the PCM. Therefore, an output device malfunction is not directly indicated as a malfunction of the monitored value for the output device. If a monitored value of an output device is out of specification, inspect the monitored value of the input device related to the output control.
- For input/output signals except those of the monitoring items, use a voltmeter to measure the PCM terminal voltage.
- The simulation items that are used in the ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION INSPECTION are as follows.
- ACCS, ALTF, EVAPCP, FAN1, FAN2, FAN3, FP, FUELPW1, GENVDSD, HTR11, HTR12, HTR13, IASV; IMRC, IMTV, IN_1, IN_2, IN_3, IN_4, SEGRP test, VT DUTY1 Wt

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
