Diagnosis Inspection (Test Mode)
Compared to the normal mode, the test mode has an in-
creased sensing ability to detect malfunctions.
It can also detect malfunctions in the starter signal circuit, the
IDL contact signal of the throttle position sensor, air condi-
tioning signal and park/neutral position switch signal.
Furthermore, the same diagnostic items which are detected
in the normal mode can also be detected in the test mode.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
1. Initial conditions.
(a) Battery voltage 11 V or more
(b) Throttle valve fully closed
(c) Transmission in neutral position
(d) Air conditioning switched OFF
2. Turn ignition switch OFF
3. Using SST, connect terminals TE2 and E1 of the data link
connector 2.
SST 09843±18020
4. Turn ignition switch ON.
HINT:
wTo confirm that the test mode is operating, check that the
malfunction indicator lamp flashes when the ignition
switch is turned to ON.
wIf the malfunction indicator lamp does not flash, proceed
to troubleshooting of the TE2 terminal circuit on page
EG±598.
5. Start the engine.
6. Simulate the conditions of the malfunction described by the
customer.
7. After the road test, using SST, connect terminals TE1 and E1
of the data link connector 2.
SST 09843±18020
8. Read the diagnostic trouble code on malfunction indicator
lamp on the telltale light RH (See page EG±491).
9. After completing the check, disconnect terminals TE1, TE2
and E1, and turn off the display.
HINT:
wThe test mode will not start if terminals TE2 and E1 are
connected after the ignition switch is turned ON.
wWhen the engine is not cranked, diagnostic trouble
codes º43º (Starter signal) output, but this is not
abnormal.
wWhen the automatic transmission shift lever is in the ºDº,
º2º, ºLº or ºRº shift position, or when the air conditioning
is on or when the accelerator pedal is depressed, code
º51º (Switch condition signal) is output, but this is not
abnormal. EG±492

DTC 51 Switch Condition Signal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Park/Neutral Position Switch
The ECM uses the signals from the park/neutral position switch to determine whether the transmission is in park
or neutral, or in some other position.
Air Conditioning Switch Signal
The ECM uses the output from the air conditioning switch to determine whether or not the air conditioning is
operating so that it can increase the idling speed of the engine if necessary.
Throttle Position Sensor IDL Signal
The IDL contacts are mounted in the throttle position sensor, and detects the idle condition.

DISCONNECTION AND CONNECTION OF BOLT
TYPE CONNECTORS
For engine control module (engine and electronically controlled
transmission ECU) in this vehicle, connectors are used which
require a bolt built into the connector to be screwed down to
securely connect the connector.
1. Disconnect the connector
After completely loosening the bolt, the two parts of the
connector can be separated.
NOTICE:
Do not pull the wire harness when disconnecting the
connector.
2. Connect the connector
NOTICE:
Before connecting the connector, always check that the
terminals are not bent or damaged.
(a) Match the guide section of the male connector
correctly with the female connector, then press them
together.
(b) Tighten the bolt.
Make sure the connectors are completely connected,
by tightening the bolt until there is a clearance of less
than 1 mm (0.04 in.) between the bottom of male
connector and the end of female connector.
