Note:
The test results will be lost if the ignition switch is turned off.
The test value is usually not near the test limits. If the test value is near the test limits, the component is likely to malfunction in the near future.
Hint:
The monitor result might on rare occasions be pass even if the malfunction indicator lamp (mil) is illuminated. This indicates the system malfunctioned on a previous driving cycle. This might be caused by an intermittent problem.
If you use a generic scan tool, multiply the test value by the scaling value listed below.

If a problem occurs in the electric power steering system, the
p/s warning light will come on in the combination meter and
steering power assist will be stopped, fixed at a particular
point, or decreased simultaneously to protect the system.
Hint:
The amount of power assist may be decreased ...
Ambient temperature sensor circuit
Description
The ambient temperature sensor is installed in the front part of the
condenser to detect the ambient
temperature and control the air conditioner. The sensor is connected to the
combination meter and
detects fluctuations in the ambient temperature. This data is used for
contr ...
Throttle actuator control motor current range / performance
Description
The etcs (electronic throttle control system) has a dedicated power supply
circuit. The voltage (+bm)
is monitored and when it is low (less than 4 v), the ecm determines that there
is a malfunction in the
etcs and cuts off the current to the throttle actuator.
When the volt ...
