7) After it isconfirmed through steps 1) to 5) that oxygen sensor sends signals to ECM properly, check feed
back signal according to the following procedure. If feed back system operates properly, ECM should
send out feed back signal.
a) Connect an ohmmeter between terminal @I and body (ground). Be sure to connect positive (+) prod
of the ohmmeter to body (ground) and negative (-) prod to terminal @J as shown in below figure
and never connect the other way around.
NOTE:
For this check, cancel switch must be OFF (“CHECK ENGINE” light off).
b) If indicator of ohmmeter deflects when connected as described in the above step, it means that ECM
sends out feed back signal, that is, feed back system operates properly.
NOTE:
If indicator doesn’t deflect at all, reverse connection (positive prod to terminal @ and negative prod to
body) and check.
In this state, turning ON cancel or check switch causes “CHECK ENGINE” light to flash. If “CHECK
ENGINE” light does not flash, wire harness, bulb of light or cancel/check switch may be defective.
8) After checking, install ECM to instrument main panel, and make sure coupler is connected to ECM
securely.

The idle-up system operates when any of the small lights (such as tail light, side marker light and license
light), heater fan and rear defogger is put in operation. If the idle-up actuator fails to operate even when
any of such equipments is put in operation, check if signal is sent to the ECM according to the following
procedure.
1) Disconnect the coupler from the ECM.
2) Turn ON the ignition switch but don’t run the engine.
3) Connect a voltmeter between the @ terminal and the body (ground) as shown in below figure. If the
voltmeter indicates 11 - 14V when each equipment is operated individually, it means that idle-up
signal is sent to the ECM.
If the voltmeter does not indicate 11- 14V, the particular circuit is disconnected or in poor contact.
Check the circuit for such conditions.

Checking EGR system
NOTE:
1)
Before checking, confirm that altitude is not
higher than 1,220 m (4,000 ft) (atmospheric
pressure is below 680mmHg) and gear shift
lever is at neutral position.
When performing this check at higher than
1,220 m (4,000 ft) altitude, be sure to dis-
connect HAC coupler.
Run engine when it is cool (coolant tempe-
rature is below 55°C (131°F)) and check
that EGR valve diaphragm is not operating in
this state, by touching diaphragm with
finger.
WARNING:
If EGR valve is hot, it may be necessary to
wear gloves to avoid burning finger.

6-l. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The cooling system consists of the radiator cap,
radiator, water reservoir tank, hoses, water
pump, cooling fan & clutch, thermostat. The
radiator is of tube-and-fin type.
Cooling System Circulation
During engine warm-up (thermostat closed),
the water pump discharges coolant into the
water jacket chamber adjacent to No. 1 cylinder.
Coolant then flows through the cylinder block
and the cylinder head. Coolant then returns to
the water pump through intake manifold, heater
inlet hose, heater unit, heater outlet hose, and
water intake pipe.
During normal temperatures (thermostat open),
coolant takes the same basic route but is now
allowed to flow past the thermostat, the inlet
hose and the radiator, and then back to the
water pump through the outlet hose and the
water intake pipe.
