Here is one of the nicest post that shows how to diagnose Daihatsu Mira engine. This is good that not many mechanics outside there do have a diagnostic meter for such an engine. Normally when the engine check light is on which means that there is something wrong of your car's sensors. Most probably these sensors are not working or having problem. Anyway do not panic, we can check which sensors that are giving up their way through the diagnostic socket.
Continue to read more for more detail information.
1.Tool that needed. Short wires.
2. Open up the diagnostic socket which located at the engine bay.
3. Short the wire at the terminal socket.
4. Turn the key to ON position. Then count how many times the engine check light blink. If there is no problem with all the sensors, the engine check light will keep on blinking without pausing while if there is a problem with either one of the sensor, the engine check light will blink then pause and then blink again. This is to show what is the engine error code. For instant, if the engine check light blink 5 times then pause and then blink 2 times again, this indicate that the error code is 52.
5. Here below are the Error Code.
Code | Diagnose Item | Diagnose Content | Trouble Area |
13 | Engine Revolution Signal | When engine revolution signal is not input while the starter switch is ON | Cam angel sensor and circuit |
21 | Oxygen sensor signal | When input signal from Oxygen sensor shows too lean. Air to fuel ration under certain condition | Oxygen sensor circuit and Oxygen sensor |
31 | Pressure sensor signal | When input signal from the pressure sensor becomes more than 4.9v or less than 0.7v | Pressure sensor circuit and pressure sensor |
41 | Throttle position sensor signal | When both idle switch, power switch position sensor become ON condition. | Throttle position sensor circuit and Throttle position sensor and ECU |
42 | Cooling water temperature signal | When the engine cooling water temperature sensor circuit become OPEN or SHORTED | Water temp sensor circuit, water temp sensor |
43 | Intake air temp signal | When the intake air temp sensor circuit becomes OPEN and SHORTED | Air temp sensor circuit, air temp sensor |
44 | A/C evaporator temp sensor | When the A/C evaporator temp sensor circuit exhibits OPEN or SHORTED | A/C evaporator temp sensor circuit, A/C evaporator sensor |
45 | A/C Compressor | When the A/C switch is turn ON, the rotation signal from the A/C compressor becomes too low because of slipping of the magnet clutch or overload | A/C magnet clutch and A/C lock sensor circuit |
51 | Switch signal | When the A/C switch is turn ON, the idle switch is turned off with the test terminal of the diagnostic connector SHORTED. However no more memoryzing will take place | A/C switch, Idle switch circuit, Throttle position sensor |
52 | Vehicle speed sensor signal | When the vehicle speed signal circuit exhibits OPEN wire or SHORTED circuit | Vehicle speed sensor circuit and vehicle speed sensor |
81 | Immobilizer signal | When the rolling codes cannot be exchanged between the EFi ECU and the Immobilizer ECU or the rolling codes are not matched | Wire harness between the immobilizer ECU and EFi ECU. Immobilizer ECU. EFi ECU |
83 | Immobilizer signal | When the rolling codes cannot be exchanged in the EFi ECU | EFi ECU |

hi,good info..does this type of engine can diagnosed through computerized?because my engine seem like something wrong since the engine check light is on..thanks..
ReplyDeleteHi loco,
ReplyDeleteAs long as you got the diagnosis tool then you can plug it to the socket to diagnose your error.
Ben
Thanks for the info but what do i do with the wire with the clips on?
ReplyDeleteHi Ben ,
ReplyDeleteJust to ask is anyway to do reset the error code
Hi Ben
ReplyDeleteCan we do any reset the code
hi ben,my engine check light signal is 31 and 51,what can i do now??
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteHave you already checked the trouble area as stated in the table?
Ben
Hi, thank you for this very useful tip. I just changed to EF-RL engine and I'm getting error code 51 from the method you showed. I don't really understand what the description meant...is it a problem with the A/C or the idle switch? Or problem with memoryzing?
ReplyDeleteVery confused.
Could you kindly explain what code 51 means? Its very confusing...is it a problem with A/C, Idle Switch or memory?
ReplyDeleteNeed help. I got L200 (turbo) engine here. Suddenly check engine light appear after hit the gas pedal at 4k rpm. When i pull over and wait for 5 min then the check engine light dissapear. What can cause it??
ReplyDeleteHI BEN,
ReplyDeleteI GOT DAIHATSU MIRA EF-JL (L200)SOHC ENGINE WITH TURBO. HOW POSSIBLY I CAN CHECK THE ERROR CODE SINCE THE DIAGNOSTIC SOCKET IN THE ENGINE BAY WASN'T THERE. NEED HELP HERE.
Hi Ben
ReplyDeleteMy code is 8 3 1....car can not start...I check spark cable not sparking
My Mira Turbo 660 EF-JL SOHC.
ReplyDeleteAbout a year i keept in garage (without Batt). because i get a job in other country. I'm back now.
I bring out from storages my Mira.
For safety......
I Changing Engine Oil, Sparks plugs, cleen my radiator, change Brake & Gear Fluid,replace Fuel filter & buy New Battery. Check turbo fan and OK.
I turn ON key....(can hear 'stright BEEEEEP' sound came from left side under dashboards) I know computer box is there. I turn key OFF.
Turn ON key again and try to START a few time & Engine is START and i lets the engine to warm up.
But after 2-3 min. engine slowly gonna stop. Try to START again, but cannot START.
I OFF switch and wash that car.
(when Engine is running, that STRAIGHT BEEEP alarm sound is stop)
Ok....after 20min try START again and yes, Engine is started & running like before...and again slowly Engine is gonna stop again.
I know there's something not ok.
I buy a few item and replace it.
Replaced New item:
Plugs Cable, Coil, Power Distributer Unit, All Intercooler Hose & Radiator Hose.
I still having the same problem,
engine gonna stop after 2-3 min.
If on the road engine gonna stop around 2km after 3-4min can start Engine again.
I'm not a automobile mechanic.
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM ?
CAN GIVE ME SOME GUIDE OR SOLUTION TO SATTLE MY PROBLEM.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
Thanks again.
1. Check your alternator is it charging?
Delete2. Check idling. TB/Sensor malfunction then to show this symptom
3. As what Timbo replied ( I faced this for my Satria. Do follow my Rebuild/Restore post to know more :D)
Hii Ben..,
ReplyDeleteDAIHATSU MIRA EF-JL (L200)
ENGINE WITH TURBO INTERCOOLER.
I GOT A FEW PROBLEMS AND HOPE FOR YOUR EXPERIENCED IN THIS FEW THING
1-CAR IN GARAGES ABOUT A YEAR. IM BACK ALREADY,TAKE IT OUT TO WASH & BEFOR THAT CHANGE ENGINE OIL, SPARK PLUG, RADIATOR FLUID, BRAKE OIL, BELTING & NEW BATTERY. KEY 'ON' LOOKS LIKE ALL INDICATOR ARE WORKING.AFTER TRY TO START FEW TIMES START...AT LAST THAT SOHC TURBO 12VALVE ENGIN IS RUNNING AND LET ENGINE WARM-UP. BUT HEAR ENGINE JERKIN SOUND FEW TIME BEFORE IT STOP. TRY TO RESTART FEW TIME BUT FAIL. AFTER 30 MIN TRY TO START !!!
'ON' KEYS, A LONG 'BEEEPP WARNING SOUND COME FROM LEFT SIDE UNDER THE DASHBOARD. 'OFF' KEYS. TAKE OUT BATTERY CONNECTION A FEW SEC AND PUT BACK ON. KEY 'ON', NO MORE ALARM SOUND. START 2 TIME...ENGINE RUNNING
BUT AFTER 2 MIN, THAT ENGINE STOP AGAIN. SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK ???!
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM AND SOLUTION !!?
Hi Zukie_6661,
DeleteSorry for the late reply. Seem like you are have the same problem as what I was facing for my Project Satria. You need to check the compression for all of your pistons. If there is a lost compression in 1 of the cylinder then you might be facing fuel/oil clog. Please refer to my project Satria for more information.

ReplyDeletei think you have a failing fuel pump and clogged fuel filter, untouched petrol and staying still for a long time tend to turn the petrol to a bad gas, i believe if you change fuel filter, drain the old fuel and fill it up with new fuel (petrol) it will be fixed.
Bro can give me..ecu pin out diagram engine l2.. Injector wiring no current.. I need troubleshoot..
