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

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.

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.
