switch Secondary
throttle valve
| / Relay
Engine control unit
Ignition coil
76G04A-102
This system consists of the coasting leaner solenoid valve, engine control unit, ignition coil, and idle switch.
When the idle switch is ON and the engine speed is more than approx. 2,100 rpm (deceleration),
the coasting leaner solenoid valve opens the air passage port to prevent afterburn in the exhaust system.
Troubleshooting
Note
Make the system inspection first. If no problem is found, continue with the next inspec-
tion of the Troubleshooting. (Refer to page 4A—47)
Possible cause System inspection Coasting leaner solenoid valve Relay
Page 4A—56 4A—57 4A—57
Checking order 1 2 3
Coasting leaner System Inspection
1. Warm up the engine and run it at idle.
2. Connect a tachometer to the engine.
3. Connect a voltmeter to the coasting leaner sole-
noid valve connector (LgB wire).

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.
