DTC 16 A T Control Signal Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The signal from the A/T CPU retards the ignition timing of the engine during A/T gear shifting, thus momentarily
reducing torque output of the engine for smooth clutch operation inside the transmission and reduced shift
shock.
DTC No. Diagnostic Trouble Code Detecting Condition Trouble Area
16
Fault in communications between the engine CPU
ECM 16 Fault in communications between the engine CPU
and A/T CPU in the ECM ECM
If the ECM detects the diagnostic trouble code º16º in memory, it prohibits the torque control of the A/T which
performs smooth gear shifting.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Are there any otheer codes (besides Code 16) being output?
Repair engine control module.
Go to relevant diagnostic trouble code chart.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
To obtain a high purification rate for the Co, Hc and NOx components of the exhaust gas, a three±way catalytic
converter is used, but for most efficient use of the three±way catalytic converter, the air±fuel ratio must be pre-
cisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio.
The oxygen sensor has the characteristic whereby its output voltage changes suddenly in the vicinity of the stoi-
chiometric air±fuel ratio. This characteristic is used to detect the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas and
provide feedback to the computer for control of the air fuel ratio.
When the air±fuel ratio becomes LEAN, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust increases and the oxygen sen-
sor informs the ECM of the LEAN condition (small electromotive force: 0 V).
When the air±fuel ratio is RICHER than the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio the oxygen concentration in the exhaust
gas is reduced and the oxygen sensor informs the ECM of the RICH condition (large electromotive force: V).
The ECM judges by the electromotive force from the oxygen sensor whether the air±fuel ratio is RICH or LEAn
and controls the injection duration accordingly. However, if malfunction of the oxygen sensor causes an output
of abnormal electromotive force, the ECM is unable to perform accurate air±fuel ratio control.
The main heated oxygen sensors include a heater which heats the Zirconia element. The heater is controlled
by the ECM. When the intake air volume is low t(the temperature of the exhaust has is low) current flows to
the heater to heat the sensor for accurate oxygen concentration detection.)

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION (Cont'd)
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 confirming that diagnostic
trouble code is no longer detected.
Malfunction: (Main heated() Oxygen Sensor Detection
(Vehicle Speed)
80 km/h (50 mph)
64 km/h (40 mph)
It is vital that this test routine is adhered to detect the malfunction:
(1) Disconnect the EFI No.1 fuse (30 A) for 10 sec. or more, with IG switch OFF. Initiate test
mode (Connect terminal TE2 and E1 of data link connector 2 with IG switch OFF).
(2) Start the engine and warm up with all ACC switched OFF.
(3) Idle the engine for 3 min.
(4) Accelerate gradually within the range 1,300 ~ 1,700 rpm (dentered around 1,500 rpm) with
the A/C switched ON and D position for A/T (5th for M/T).
HINT: Ensure engine rpm does NOT fall below 1200 rpm.
Gradually depress the accelerator pedal at a suitable rate to comply with the test
requirements on the above graph.
Never allow engine rpm to drop at any time during the test.
(5) Maintain the vehicle speed at 64 Ð 80 km/h (40 Ð 50 mph).
(6) Keep the vehicle running for Ð 2 min. after starting acceleration.
HINT: If a malfunction exists, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp will light up after approx. 60 sec.
from the start of acceleration.
NOTICE: If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of the malfunction
will not be possible.

DTC 24 Intake Air Temp. Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The intake air temp. sensor is built into the volume air flow meter and senses the intake air temperature.
The structure of the sensor and connection to the ECM is the same as in the engine coolant temp. sensor shown
on page EG±424.
If the ECM detects the diagnostic trouble code º24º, it operates the fail safe function in which the
intake air temper-
ature
is assumed to be 20°C (68°F).
