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.)

SWITCH MONITOR FUNCTION
Individual switches can be monitored by the SST.
Note
The test connector must be grounded and the ignition switch ON (engine stopped).

Air Valve
This valve is constructed so that the gate valve is opened and closed by means of a bimetal strip and
heat coil. It acts as a fast idle mechanism by opening the gate valve to increase intake air by bypass-
ing the throttle valve while engine is cold, therefore engine speed is increased to shorten the warm
up period.
Air Bypass Solenoid Valve
This valve incorporates three solenoid valves. They operate according to the signal from the engine
control unit or A/C switch in order to achieve idling stability and the optimum idle speed.
The operating conditions of each solenoid valve are as shown below.

A A/C operated
