PCM INSPECTION [L3]
Without Using M-MDS
NOTE:
- The PCM terminal voltage can vary with the conditions when measuring and changes due to aged deterioration on the vehicle, causing false diagnosis. Therefore determine comprehensively where the malfunction occurs among the input systems, output systems, and the PCM.

Using SST (M-MDS)
NOTE:
- PIDs for the following parts are not available on this model. Go to the appropriate part inspection page.
- CMP sensor Testing and Inspection
- Main relay Testing and Inspection
1. Connect the SST(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.
- The simulation items that are used in the ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION INSPECTION are as follows.
- ACCS, ALTF, ARPMDES, EVAPCP, FAN_DUTY, FP, FUELPW1, GENVDSD, HTR11, HTR12, IMRC, IMTV, INJ_1, INJ_2, INJ_3, INJ_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:
- β’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- β’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- β’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- β’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- β’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
