INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
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±219)
Check voltage between VTA1, IDL1 and E2 of engine control module connec-
tor.
(1) Connect SST (check harness ªAº).
(See page EG±404)
SST 09990±01000
(2) Turn ignition switch ON.
(3) Disconnect the vacuum hose from the throttle
body, then apply vacuum to the throttle opener.
(See page EG±219)
Measure voltage between terminals VTA1, IDL1
and E2 of engine control module connector when
the throttle valve is opened gradually from the
closed condition.
Check for intermittent problems.
(See page EG±399)
The voltage should increase steadily in proportion
to the throttle valve opening angle.

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 pre-
cise 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.

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)

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.

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.
