Fuel System (Sohc 8 Valve) On-Board Diagnostics - Mitsubishi 1989-1993 GALANT Service Manual

FUEL SYSTEM <SOHC-8 VALVE>
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC-
module monitors the input/out-
The engine control
put signals (some signals at all times and the others
under specified conditions) of the engine control
module.
When it is noticed that an irregularity has continued
for a specified time or longer from when the irregu-
lar signal is initially monitored, passing a certain
number, the engine control module judges that an
irregularity has occurred, memorizes the diagnostic
trouble code, and outputs the signal to the on-board
diagnostic output terminal.
There are 15 on-board diagnostic items including
the normal state, and the diagnostic results can be
read out with a voltmeter or scan tool.
Moreover, since memorization of the diagnostic
trouble codes is backed up directly by the battery,
the diagnostic results are memorized even if the ig-
nition key is turned off. The diagnostic trouble
codes will, however, be erased when the battery
terminal or the engine control module connector is

disconnected. In addition, beginning with the engine
control module of 1990 and later models, the diag-
nostic trouble codes are erased by turning on the
ignition switch and sending the diagnostic trouble
code erase signal from the scan tool to the engine
control module.
Caution
If the sensor connector is disconnected with
the ignition switch turned on, the diagnostic
trouble code is memorized. In this case, send
the diagnostic trouble code erase signal from
the scan tool to the engine control module or
disconnect the battery terminal (-) for 10 sec-
onds or more, and the diagnostic memory will
be erased.
The 15 on-board diagnostic items are provided as
follows, and if plural items are activated, they are all
indicated sequentially from the smallest code num-
