4A CONTROL SYSTEM
ENGINE CONTROL UNIT
Check the engine control unit terminal voltages with
a voltmeter.
Caution
a) Warm up the engine before checking the
control unit.
b) If the proper voltage is not obtained, check
the wiring, connections and finally, check
the component.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE
Note
Step 1 under symptom is to quickly determine what system or unit may be at fault by use of the SST. (Self-Diagnosis Checker 49 H018 9A1)
1st:
Check input sensors and output solenoid valves with the
SST.
(Refer
to
page 4B—10.)

2nd:
Check other switches with the
SST.
(Refer
to
page 4B—26.)

3rd:
Check the following items:

11
Poor acceleration, hesita-
tion or lack of power
Runs rough on deceleration
Afterburn in exhaust system
Poor fuel consumption
Engine stalls or rough after hot starting
Electrical system
1) Battery condition
2) Fuses

Fuel system
1) Fuel level 2) Fuel leakage
3) Fuel filter 4) Idle speed

Engine
1) Compression 2) Overheating

Ignition system

1) Ignition spark 2) Ignition timing

Intake air system
1)
Air
cleaner element 2) Vacuum
or air
leakage 3) Vacuum hose routing
4) Accelerator cable

Others
1) Clutch slippage 2) Brake dragging

Fails emission test 4th:
Check Fuel and Emission Control Systems. (Refer
to
page 4B—8.)

4B TROUBLESHOOTING WITH SST
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. Connect the SST to the check connector, (Green,
6-pin) and the negative battery terminal.
2. Set the select switch to position A.
Note
The check connector is located at the rear of
the left side wheel housing.

Test connector: Green (1 pin)
3. Ground the test connector (Green, 1-pin) with a
jumper wire.
Note
The test connector is located near the Self-
Diagnosis Checker check connector.

4. Turn the ignition switch ON.
5. Verify that 88 flashes on the digital display and that
the buzzer sounds for three seconds after turn-
ing the ignition switch ON.
6. If 88 does not flash, check the main relay (Refer
to page 4B—86), power supply circuit, and check
connector wiring.
7. If 88 flashes and the buzzer sounds continuously
for more than 20 seconds, replace the engine con-
trol unit and perform steps 3 and 4 again.
8. Note the code numbers and check for the causes
by referring to the check sequences shown on
pages from 4B—14 to 4B—24. Repair as
necessary.
Note
Cancel the code numbers by performing the
after-repair procedure after repairing.
AFTER-REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Cancel the memory of malfunctions by disconnect-
ing the negative battery cable and depressing the
brake pedal for at least 2 seconds; then recon-
nect the negative battery cable.

2. Connect the SST to the check connector.
3. Ground the test connector (Green, 1-pin) with a
jumper wire.

for six
seconds
4. Turn the ignition switch ON, but do not start the
engine for six seconds.
5. Start and warm up the engine, then run it at
2,500—3,000 rpm for three minutes in neutral.
6. Verify that no code numbers are displayed.
