Understanding OBD II on My Vehicle

DTC Anatomy

Types of DTC's

There are two categories of DTC's that apply to OBDII. They are listed below with Type A being the more severe.

Type A
	Emissions related. Requests illumination of the MIL after one failed driving cycle. Stores a freeze frame DTC after one failed driving cycle.
Type B
	Emissions related. Sets a Pending Trouble Code after one failed driving cycle. Clears a Pending Trouble Code after one successful driving cycle. Turns on the MIL after two consecutive failed driving cycles. Stores a freeze frame after two consecutive failed driving cycles.

Reset ECU Grand Livina secara Manual

From Technosquare website:

Please read all instructions and be familiar with them before any attempts.
A stop watch or an analog clock with a second’s needle will be useful.

1. ECU Resetting Procedures

Timing is extremely critical. If it is NOT DONE within the specify time, the ECU will not reset and the Check Engine Light (CEL) will continue to remain ON. A stop watch or an analog clock with a second’s needle will be useful.

Operations Procedures

1. Confirm that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch “ON” and wait 3 seconds.
2. Repeat the following steps (2a and 2b) procedures quickly five times within 5 seconds.
2a. Fully depress the accelerator pedal (HARD).
2b. Fully release the accelerator pedal.
3. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 10 seconds until the CEL starts blinking.
4. Fully release the accelerator pedal (while the CEL is still blinking)
5. Wait about 10 second.
6. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for more than 10 seconds.
7. Fully release the accelerator pedal (The CEL light will continue to blink).
8. Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position and now you can start the car. The CEL light should be gone.
If the CEL light continues to remain ON, repeat the above steps. Timing is EXTREMELY critical to resetting the ECU.

Edit: Added the "Easy Method" for ECU Reset

The Easy Method:

After experimenting with different timing, and reading posts by other members, I've come up with a condensed method of doing this reset. This method works EVERY time, even w/o a stopwatch. I've used this method successfully a dozen times, or so, now w/o a watch. After a few times, you won't need a watch or instructions. You'll get so darn good at it, you'll find yourself doing it while waiting at a traffic light.

Timing is not as critical with this method...no stop watch needed. Just count in your head...one-one thousand, two-one thousand, etc, or use stop watch. The most critical step is step #3....wait 10 sec, instead of 7.

1. Ignition "ON", count to 3.
2. Depress/Release pedal 5 times...hard and fast.
3. Count to 10 (not 7!) and fully depress pedal
4. Count to 12 (SES should be blinking), release pedal
5. Count to 10, depress pedal
6. Count to 10, release pedal.
7. Turn off ignition, then start engine. Done!


2. Accelerator Pedal Release Position Learning

Operation Procedure

1. Make sure that the accelerator pedal is fully released.
2. Turn ignition switch “ON” and wait at least 2 seconds.
3. Turn ignition switch “OFF” wait at least 10 seconds.
4. Turn ignition switch “ON” and wait at least 2 seconds.
5. Turn ignition switch “OFF” wait at least 10 seconds.

3. Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning

Operation Procedures

1. Make sure that accelerator pedal is fully released.
2. Turn ignition switch is “ON”.
3. Turn ignition switch is “OFF” wait at least 10 seconds.
Make sure that the throttle valve moves during above 10 seconds by confirming the operating sound.


4. Idle Air Volume Learning (Throttle Position Learning)

Preparation

Before performing Idle Air Volume Learning, make sure that all of the following conditions are satisfied. Learning will be cancelled if any of the following conditions are missed for even a moment.

• Battery voltage: More than 12.9V (At idle)
• Engine coolant temperature: 70 - 100 C (158 - 212 F)
• Park/neutral position (PNP) switch: ON (Shifter in Park or Neutral)
• Electric load switch: OFF (Air conditioner, headlamp, rear window defogger)
• Steering wheel: Neutral (Straight-ahead position)
• Vehicle speed: Stopped
• Transmission: Warmed-up (Drive vehicle for 10 minutes.)

It is better to count the time accurately with a clock.

Operation Procedures

1. Perform “Accelerator Pedal Released Position Learning”.
2. Perform “Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning”.
3. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
4. Turn ignition switch “OFF” and wait at least 10 seconds.
5. Confirm that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch “ON” and wait 3 seconds.
6. Repeat the following (steps 7a, 7b) procedures quickly five times within 5 seconds.
7a. Fully depress the accelerator pedal (HARD)
7b. Fully release the accelerator pedal.
8. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 20 seconds until the Check Engine Light (CEL) stops blinking and turned ON.
9. Fully release the accelerator pedal within 3 seconds after the CEL is ON.
10. Start engine and let it idle.
11. Wait 20 seconds.
12. Rev up the engine two or three times and make sure the idle speed and ignition timing are within the specifications.

Idle speed = 650 ± 50 rpm (in P or N position)

100 Years lyrics - Five for Fighting

 Songwriters: Ondrasik, John;

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

I'm 22 for a moment
And she feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a ?they'
A kid on the way, babe
A family on my mind

I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose yourself
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/f/five-for-fighting-lyrics/100-years-lyrics.html ]
Within a morning star

15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on

I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you're on your way
Every day's a new day

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Analisa Porter's Five Forces

(Vibizmanagement – Strategic) – SWOT Analysis adalah suatu analisa yang dilakukan sebelum bisnis merancang sebuah strategic plan. Salah satu tools yang digunakan untuk membuat SWOT Analysis diantaranya adalah Porter Five Forces analysis, yang memberikan gambaran mengenai bagaimana posisi bisnis kita di dalam suatu industri.

Analisa Porter’s Five Forces memberikan gambaran yang powerful mengenai bagaimana tingkat persaingan dari suatu industri, baik itu dari sisi supply chain (supplier dan pelanggan) serta pasar (pemain baru dan substitusi). Keempat dari forces (dorongan) ini memberikan kontribusi terhadap competitive rivalry atau tingkat persaingan dalam industri.

The threat of a substitute product

Bagaimana substitusi terhadap barang/jasa Anda? Apakah konsumen dapat memperoleh barang substitusinya dengan mudah? Semakin banyak dan dekat barang substitusi, maka pelanggan juga bisa beralih dengan mudah. Force ini dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor diantaranya switching cost, kecenderungan untuk substitusi, diferensiasi produk, dan lainnya.
