Back±Up Function
If there is trouble with the program in the ECM and the ignition signals (IGT) are not output from the microcomput-
er, the ECM controls fuel injection and ignition timing at predetermined levels as a back±up function to make
it possible to continue to operate the vehicle.
Furthermore, the injection duration is calculated from the starting signal (STA) and the throttle position signal
(IDL). Also, the ignition timing is fixed at the initial ignition timing, 10°BTDC, without relation to the engine speed.
HINT: if the engine is controlled by the back±up function, the malfunction indicator lamp lights up to warn the
driver of the malfunction but the diagnostic trouble code is not output. EG±398

If there is fule pressure, you will hear the sound of
fuel flowing.
Never make a mistake with the terminal connection
position as this will cause a malfunction.

Disconnect the high±tension cord from the distributor and hold the end about 12.5 mm (1/2º) from the ground.
See if spark occurs while the engine is being cranked.
To prevent excess fuel being injected from the injectors during this test, don't crank the engine for more than
1 Ð 2 seconds at a time.

DTC 31 Volume Air Flow Meter Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
As shown in the figure at right, when a pillar (Vortex
generating body is placed in the path of a uniform
flow, vortices called Karman±Vortex are generated
downstream of the object. Using this principle, a
vortex generator is placed inside the volume air
flow meter. By measuring the frequency of the vor-
tices generated, the ECM can determine the vol-
ume of air flowing through the volume air flow me-
ter. The vortices are detected by their exerting
pressure on thin metal foil mirror) surfaces and a
light emitting element and light receptor (LED and
photo transistor) positioned opposite the mirror
which optically senses the vibrations in the mirror.
The ECM uses these signals mainly for calculation
of the basic injection volume and the basic ignition
advance angle.

DTC 35 Barometric Pressure Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The BARO sensor is built into the ECM. This is a semiconductor pressure sensor with properties which cause
its electrical resistance to change when stress is applied to the sensor's crystal (silicon) (piezoelectric effect).
This sensor is used to detect the atmospheric (absolute) pressure and outputs corresponding electrical signals.
Fluctuations in the air pressure cause changes in the intake air density, which can cause deviations in the air±
fuel ratio. The signals from BARO sensor are used to make corrections for these fluctuations. If the ECM detects
diagnostic trouble code º35º, the fail safe function operates and the atmospheric pressure is set at a constant
101.3 kPa (760 mmHg, 29.92 in.Hg).

VSV Circuit for Fuel Pressure Control (Only for California spec.)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ECM turns on a VSV (Vacuum Switching
Valve) to draw air into the diaphragm cham-
ber of the pressure regulator if it detects that
the temperature of the engine coolant is too
high during engine starting.
The air drawn into the chamber increases the
fuel pressure to prevent fuel vapor lock at
high engine temperature in order to help the
engine start when it is warm.
`Fuel pressure control ends approx. 120 sec.
after then engine is started.
