PCM Inspection





PCM INSPECTION [MZR 1.5]

Without Using the M-MDS

CAUTION:
- The PCM terminal voltages vary with change in measuring conditions and vehicle conditions. Always carry out a total inspection of the input systems, output systems, and PCM to determine the cause of trouble. Otherwise, a wrong diagnosis will be made.

1. Measure the voltage at each terminal.

- If any incorrect voltage is detected, inspect the related system(s), wiring harnesses and connector(s) referring to the Action column in the terminal voltage table.

Using The M-MDS

NOTE:
- PIDs for the following parts are not available on this model. Go to the appropriate part inspection.

- CMP sensor Testing and Inspection
- Main relay Testing and Inspection

1. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.

Factory service manual diagram





2. Turn the ignition switch to the 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, EVAPCV, FAN1, FAN2, FP, IMRC, 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.
