Replacement
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the front console covers (right or left).
3. Disconnect the connectors from the control unit.
4. Remove and replace the control unit.
INHIBITOR SWITCH
Inspection
1. Verify that the starter operates with the ignition
switch at START position in
P
and N positions only.
2. Check that the back-up lights illuminate when R
position selected and the ignition switch is ON.
3. If not as specified, check the following:
(1) Jack up the vehicle and support it with safety
stands.
(2) Disconnect the inhibitor switch connector.
(3) Check continuity of the switch with an
ohmmeter.

Hot idle compensation
1. Warm up the engine and run it at idle.
2. Connect a voltmeter between the terminal F, D and
ground.
3. Remove the air cleaner upper case assembly.
4. Heat the intake air thermo sensor to more than
55°C
(131
°F).
5. Check that the meter shows OV.
6. If not correct, check the intake air thermo sensor
(Refer to page 4B—94).
E/L (Electrical load)
1. Warm up the engine and run it at idle.
2. Connect a voltmeter between the F terminal and
ground.
3. Apply the E/L.
E/L:
• Headlight • Rear defroster
• Electrical fan motor
• Blower motor (3rd or 4th position)
4. Check that the meter shows OV.
5. If not correct, check the electrical load control unit
(Refer to page 4B—93).
Adjustment
1. Warm up the engine and run it at idle.
2. Turn all accessories OFF.
3. Connect a tachometer to the engine.
4. Disconnect the air bypass solenoid valve con-
nector.
5. Check the idle speed and adjust it if necessary.
6. Apply battery power to each BAT terminal and
ground each GRD terminal as shown in the table.
7. Check that the engine speed is within specification.

4B PCV SYSTEM
POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION
(PCV)
SYSTEM
76G04B-106
The PCV valve is operated by the intake manifold vacuum.
When the engine is running at idle, the PCV valve is opened slightly and a small amount of blowby
gas is drawn into the dynamic chamber.
At high engine speeds, the PCV valve is further opened and a larger amount of blowby gas is drawn
into the dynamic chamber.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Component Function
PCV valve Controls blowby gas amount pulled into engine
PCV VALVE
1. Warm up the engine to the normal operating tem-
perature and run it at idle.
2. Disconnect the PCV valve and the ventilation hose
from the cylinder head cover.
3. Close the PCV valve opening.
4. Check that vacuum is felt.
