TROUBLESHOOTING WITH SST 4C
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH SST
Engine control unit
76G04C-011
When troubles occur in the main input devices or output devices, check for the cause with the SST
(Self-Diagnosis checker 49 H018 9A1 or Digital code checker 49 G018 9A0 with Adaptor har-
ness 49 9200 180)
Failure of individual input and output devices is indicated and retrieved from the control unit as mal-
function code numbers.
Note
The control unit constantly checks for malfunction of the input devices. But, the control
unit checks for malfunction of output devices only in a 3 second period after the ignition
switch is turned ON and the test connector is grounded.

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 control relay (refer
to page 4C—96), power supply circuit, and check
connector wiring.
7. If 88 flashes and the buzzer sounds continuously
for more than 20 seconds check the check con-
nector wiring, then replace the engine control 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 4C—16 to 4C—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 depress the
brake pedal for at least five seconds.

4. Turn the ignition switch ON for six seconds (do
not start the engine).
5. Start and warm up the engine, then run it at 2,000
rpm for two minutes.
6. Verify that no code numbers are displayed.

SWITCH MONITOR FUNCTION 4C
SWITCH MONITOR FUNCTION
Individual switches can be monitored by the SST (Self-Diagnosis checker 49 G018 9A0 or Digital
code checker 49 9200 180).
Note
The test connector must be grounded and the ignition switch ON (engine stopped).

3. Connect a jumper wire between the test connec-
tor (Green, 1-pin) and a ground.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON. Check if monitor lamp
illuminates as each switch is made to function as
described below.
Caution
a) If any one of the switches is activated, the
monitor lamp will stay on.
b)Do not start the engine.

IDLE
ADJUSTMENT
IDLE SPEED
The idle speed is controlled automatically by the
engine control unit through the idle speed con-
trol (ISC) solenoid valve, it is not necessary to
adjust the idle speed.
However, if the idle speed is not within specifi-
cation, the idle speed must be adjusted.
76G04C-044
Preparation
1) Check the condition of the engine (plugs, leaks in
hoses, etc.).
2) Make sure all accessories are OFF.
3) Warm up the engine and run it for three minutes
at 2,500—3,000 rpm in neutral.
4) Check the initial ignition timing and adjust it if
necessary.
76G04C-045
Inspection
1. Check that the idle speed is within specification
without grounding the test connector (Green,
1-pin).
Specification:
Applied load Idle speed
No load 750 ± 50 rpm
P/S load 750 ± 50 rpm
A/C and/or E/L load 800 ± 50 rpm
76G04C-046 2. If not correct, adjust the initial idle speed.
Adjustment
1. Ground the test connector (Green, 1-pin) with a
jumper wire.
2. Turn all accessories and loads OFF.

3. Remove the blind cap and adjust the initial idle
speed to specification by turning the air adjust
screw.
Initial idle speed: 750 ± 50 rpm
4. After adjusting the idle speed, install the blind cap
and disconnect the jumper wire from the test con-
nector.
5. Recheck the idle speed.
6. If not within specification, check the idle speed con-
trol (ISC) system.
IDLE MIXTURE (Unleaded Fuel)
An automatic compensation function for air/fuel
mixture is built into the engine control unit, it
is not necessary to check and adjust the idle
mixture.
IDLE MIXTURE (Leaded Fuel)
Note
Before checking or adjusting the idle mixture,
check and adjust the idle speed, if necessary.
1. Insert a gas analyzer pick-up into the tail pipe.
2. Check that the CO and HC concentrations are with-
in specification.
CO concentration: 1.5 ± 0.5%
HC concentration: Less than 1,000 PPM
3. If the CO or HC concentration is not within specifi-
cation, turn the adjust screw
with
the SST to adjust.
