DTC 14 Ignition Signal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ECM determines the ignition timing, turns on Tr1 at a predetermined angle (°CA) before the desired ignition
timing and outputs an ignition signal (IGT) º1º to the igniter.
Since the width of the IGT signal is constant, the dwell angle control circuit in the igniter determines the time
the control circuit starts primary current flow to the ignition coil based on the engine rpm and ignition timing one
revolution ago, that is, the time the Tr
2 turns on.
When it reaches the ignition timing, the ECM turns Tr
1 off and outputs the IGT signal ºOº.
This turns Tr
2 off, interrupting the primary current flow and generating a high voltage in the secondary coil which
causes the spark plug to spark. Also, by the counter electromotive force generated when the primary current
is interrupted, the igniter sends an ignition confirmation signal (IGF) to the ECM.
The ECM stops fuel injection as a fail safe function when the IGF signal is not input to the ECM.

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.

ECM Power Source Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch is turned on, battery
voltage is applied to the terminals IGSW of the
ECM, and the main relay control circuit in the
ECM sends a signal to the terminal M±REL of the
ECM, switching on the main relay. This signal
causes current to flow to the coil, closing the con-
tacts of the main relay and supplying power to the
terminal +B of the ECM.
If the ignition switch is turned off, the ECM contin-
ues to switch on the main relay for a maximum of
2 seconds for the initial setting of the IAC valve.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The IAC valve is situated on the intake chamber. Intake
air bypassing the throttle valve is directed to the IAC
valve through a passage.
A step motor is built into the IAC valve. It consists of 4
coils, a magnetic rotor, valve shaft and valve.
When current flows to the coils due to signals from the
ECM, the rotor turns and moves the valve shaft forward
or backward, changing the clearance between the
valve and the valve seat.
In this way the intake air volume bypassing the throttle
valve is regulated, controlling the engine speed.
There are 125 possible positions to which the valve can
be opened.
With the engine idling measure wave forms
between terminals ISC1, ISC2, ISC3, ISC4
and E01 of engine control module when
A/C switch ON or OFF.
HINT:
The correct waveforms are as shown.

PRECAUTION
1. Before working on the fuel system, disconnect the
negative (±) terminal cable from the battery.
HINT: Any diagnostic trouble code retained by the computer
will be erased when the negative (±) terminal cable is discon-
nected.
Therefore, if necessary, read the diagnosis before discon-
necting the negative (±) terminal cable from the battery.
2. Do not smoke or work near an open flame when working
on the fuel system.
3. Keep gasoline away from rubber or leather parts.
MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
1. PRECAUTION WHEN CONNECTING GAUGE
(a) Use ba tte ry as th e po we r so u rce fo r th e timin g lig h t,
tachometer, etc.
(b) Connect the tester probe of a tachometer to the terminal IG
of the DLC1.
2. IN EVENT OF ENGINE MISFIRE, FOLLOWING
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN
(a) Check proper connection of battery terminals, etc.
(b) After repair work, check that the ignition coil terminals and all
other ignition system lines are reconnected securely.
(c) When cleaning the engine compartment, be especially
careful to protect the electrical system from water.
3. PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING OXYGEN SENSOR
(a) Do not allow oxygen sensor to drop or hit against an object.
(b) Do not allow the sensor to come into contact with water. EG±260

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.
