DTC 52 53 55 Knock Sensor Circuit
Knock sensors are fitted one each to the front and rear of the left side of the cylinder block to detect
engine knocking. This sensor contains a piezoelectric element which generates a voltage when it be-
comes deformed, which occurs when the cylinder block vibrates due to knocking. If engine knocking
occurs, ignition timing is retarded to suppress it.

If the ECM detects the above diagnosis conditions, it operates the fail safe function in which the correc-
tive retard angle value is set to the maximum value.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DETECTION DRIVING PATTERN
Purpose of the driving pattern.
(a) To simulate diagnostic trouble code detecting condition after diagnostic trouble code is recorded.
(b) To check that the malfunction is corrected when the repair is completed by confirming that diag±
nostic trouble code is no longer detected.
(1) Start the engine and warm up.
(2) Idle the engine for 3 min.
(3) With the A/C ON, race the engine quickly to 5,000 rpm 3 times.
(Rapidly depress the accelerator pedal and suddenly release it.)
HINT: If a malfunction exists, the malfunction indicator lamp will light up when sudden racing is
performed.
NOTICE: If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of the malfunction
will not be possible. EG±450

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The EGR system is designed to recirculate the exhaust gas, controlled according to the driving condi-
tions, back into the intake air±fuel mixture. It helps to slow down combustion in the cylinder and thus
lower the combustion temperature which, in turn, reduces the amount of NOx emission. The amount
of EGR is regulated by the EGR vacuum modulator according to the load.
If even one of the following conditions is fulfilled,
the VSV is turned ON by a signal from the ECM.
This results in atmospheric air acting on the EGR
valve, closing the EGR valve and shutting off the
exhaust gas (EGR cut±OFF).
Engine coolant temp. below 50°C (122°F)

IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE
RADIO SYSTEM (HAM, CB, ETC.)
If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication sys-
tem, refer to the precaution in the IN section.
AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
1. Separation of the engine oil dipstick, oil filler cap, PCV hose,
etc. may cause the engine to run out of tune.
2. Disconnection, looseness or cracks in the parts of the air
induction system between the throttle body and cylinder
head will cause air suction and cause the engine to run out
of tune.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
1. Before removing SFI wiring connectors, terminals, etc., first
disconnect the power by either turning the ignition switch
OFF or disconnecting the negative (±) terminal cable from the
battery.
HINT: Always check the diagnostic trouble code before dis-
connecting the negative (±) terminal cable from the battery.
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 SFI parts carefully, especially the
ECM.
4. Do not be careless during troubleshooting as there are
numerous transistor circuits and even slight terminal contact
can cause further troubles.
5. Do not open the ECM cover.
6. When inspecting during rainy weather, take care to prevent
entry of water. Also, when washing the engine compartment,
prevent water from getting on the SFI parts and wiring
connectors.
7. Parts should be replaced as an assembly.
8. Care is required when pulling out and inserting wiring
connectors.
(a) Release the lock and pull out the connector, pulling on the
connectors.
(b) Fully insert the connector and check that it is locked.
