1986 TOYOTA SUPRA Service Repair Manual

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The throttle position sensor is mounted in the throttle
body and detects the the throttle valve opening angle.
When the throttle valve is fully closed, the IDL contacts
in the throttle position sensor are on, so the voltage at
the terminal IDL of the ECM becomes 0 V. At this time,
a voltage of approximately 0.7 V is applied to the termi-
nal VTA of the ECM. When the throttle valve is opened,
the IDL contacts go off and thus the power source volt-
age of approximately 12 V in the ECM is applied to the
terminal IDL of the ECM. The voltage applied to the ter-
minal VTA of the ECM increases in the proportion to
the opening angle of the throttle valve and becomes
approximately 3.2 ± 4.9 V when the throttle valve is ful-
ly opened. The ECM judges the vehicle driving condi-
tions from these signals input from the terminals VTA
and IDL, and uses them as one of the conditions for de-
ciding the air±fuel ratio correction, power increase
corrections and fuel±cut control etc. The sub±throttle
position sensor is built and operates in the same way
as the main throttle position sensor. This sensor is
used for traction control. The sub±throttle valve is
opened and closed by the sub±throttle actuator ac-
cording to signals from the TRAC ECU to control the
engine output.

HINT:
Diagnostic trouble code 41 is for the throttle position sensor circuit.
Diagnostic trouble code 47 is for the sub±throttle position sensor circuit.

When the connector for the throttle position sensor(s) is disconnected, diagnostic trouble code 41
or 47 is not displayed. Diagnostic trouble code 41 or 47 is displayed only when there is an open
or short in the VTA signal circuit of the throttle position sensor(s).

Signals from the throttle position sensor(s) are also input to the TRAC ECU, so when a malfunc±
tion occurs on the TRAC side, code 41 or 47 may be displayed.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
wIf diagnostic trouble code 41 is displayed, check throttle position sensor circuit. If diagnostic trouble code
47 is displayed, check sub±throttle position sensor circuit.
wIf diagnostic trouble code º22º (engine coolant temperature sensor circuit), º24º (intake air temperature
sensor circuit) and º41º (throttle position sensor circuit) are output simultaneously. E2 (sensor ground) may
be open.
(See page EG±505)
(See page EG±510)
(See page EG±292)
Check voltage between terminals VTA1, 2, IDL1, 2 and E2 of engine control
module connector.
The voltage should increase steadily in proportion
to the throttle valve opening angle.
(1) Connect SST (check harness ªAº).
(See page EG±510)
SST 09990±01000
(2) Turn ignition switch ON.
(3) For throttle position sensor, disconnect the vacuum
hose from the throttle body, then apply vacuum to
the throttle opener.
(See page EG±292)
(4) For sub±throttle position sensor, remove intake air
duct and disconnect sub±throttle valve step motor
connector.
Measure voltage between terminals VTA1, 2, IDL1,
2 and E2 of engine control module connector when
the (sub±) throttle valve is opened gradually from
the closed condition.
Check for intermittent problems.

(1) Remove throttle body. (See page EG±291)
(2) For throttle position sensor, apply vacuum to

Measure resistance of each terminal as below table
when the throttle valve is opened gradually from the
closed condition.
Check throttle position sensor(s).
Check for open and short in harness and connector between engine control
module and throttle position sensors(s) (See page
IN±30).
Resistance between terminals 2,3 (VTA1,2) and 4,1
(E2) should increase gradually in accordance with
the throttle valve opening angle.
Adjust or replace throttle position sensor(s).

DTC 42 No. 1 Vehicle Speed Sensor Signal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The No.1 vehicle speed sensor outputs a 4±pulse signal for every revolution of the rotor shaft, which
is rotated by the transmission output shaft via the driven gear. After this signal is converted into a more
precise rectangular waveform by the waveform shaping circuit inside the odometer and trip meter, it is
then transmitted to the engine control module. The ECM determines the vehicle speed based on the
frequency of these pulse signals.

DTC 43 Starter Signal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the engine is being cranked, the intake air flow is slow, so fuel vaporization is poor. A rich mixture is there-
fore necessary in order to achieve good startability. While the engine is being cranked, the battery positive volt-
age is applied to terminal STA of the ECM. The starter signal is mainly used to increase the fuel injection volume
for the starting injection control and after±start injection control.
