IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE
RADIO SYSTEM (HAM, CB, ETC.)
The ECU has been designed so that it will not be affected ±by out-
side interference.
However, if your vehicle is equipped with a CB radio transceiver,
etc. (even one with about 10 W output), it may, at times, have an
affect upon ECU operation, especially if the antenna and feeder are
installed nearby.
Therefore, observe the following precautions:
1. Install the antenna as far as possible from the ECU. The
ECU is located under the radio so the antenna should be installed
at the rear side of the vehicle.
2. Keep the antenna feeder as far away as possible from the
ECU wires ± at least 20 cm (7.87 in.) ± and, especially, do not wind
them together.
3. Check that the feeder and antenna are properly adjusted.
4. Do not equip your± vehicle with a powerful mobile radio system.
5. Do not open the cover or the case of the ECU unless absolutely nec-
essary. (If the IC terminals are touched, the IC
may be destroyed by static electricity.)
AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
1. Separation of the engine oil dipstick, oil filler cap, PCV hose,
etc. may cause the engine to run out¿¿ tune.
2. Disconnection, looseness or cracks in the parts of the air
induction system between the throttle body and cylinder
head will allow air suction and cause the engine to run out of tune.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
1. Before removing EFI wiring connectors, terminals, etc., first discon-
nect the power by either turning the ignition switch
OFF or disconnecting the battery terminals.
2. When installing the battery, be especially careful not to
incorrectly connect the positive (+) and negative (±) cables.
3. Do not permit parts to receive a severe impact during removal or
installation. Handle all EFI parts carefully, especially the ECU.
4. Do not be careless during troubleshooting as there are numerous
transistor circuits and even slight terminal contact can cause fur-
ther troubles.
5. Do not open the ECU cover.
6. When inspecting during rainy weather, take care to prevent
entry of water. Also, when washing the engine compartment, pre-
vent water from getting on the ER parts and wiring connectors.
7. Parts should be replaced as an assembly.

2. The most frequent cause of problems is simply a bad contact
in wiring connectors. Always check that connections are
secure.
When inspecting the connector, pay particular attention to
the following points:
(a) Check to see that the terminals are not bent.
(b) Check to see that the connector is pushed in completely and
locked.
(e) Check to see that there is no signal change when the con-
nector is slightly tapped or wiggled.
3. Troubleshoot sufficiently for other causes before replacing
the ECU, as the ECU is of high quality and it is expensive.

SYMPTOM ± HIGH ENGINE IDLE SPEED (NO DROP)
HINT (3S±FE): Disconnecting the battery will cause the idling speed data in the ISC to be returned to the initial
idling speed, causing the idling speed to rise above 700 rpm. should this happen, either carry out a driving test,
including stop±go several times at a speed above 10 km/h, or start the engine, idle for 30 seconds and then turn
the engine off repeatedly. By doing this, idle data will be stored in the ISC and the idle rpm will be at specified
value.
