FEED BACK SYSTEM
Whether feed back system including oxygen sensor and ECM (Electronic Control Module) is in good
condition or not, can be judged by checking for operation of “CHECK ENGINE” light in instrument clus-
ter..
[U.S.A. specification vehicle]
As previously outlined,“CHECK ENGINE” light automatically flashes at 50,000 miles, 80,000 miles and
100,000 miles indicated on odometer when running warmed up engine. And this automatical flashing at
above mileages proves that system is in good condition.
Should any of following malcondition occur, the system check can be .performed according to “System
check flow chart”,even when mileage indicated by odometer is not any of 50,000 miles, 80,000 miles
and 100,000 miles.
[Canadian specification vehicle]
Should any of following malconditions occur, the system check can be performed according to “System
check flow chart”.
l Fuel consumption increases excssively even in normal driving.
l Engine tends to stall.
l Engine is hard to start.

If it does not light, check electric circuit of
the light, namely light for blow off and lead
wire for disconnection.
Fig. 5-3- 16 “CHECK ENGINE” light
3) After lighting of the light is confirmed, start
engine and warm it up to normal operating
temperature.
4) When engine is warmed up, run engine at
1,500- 2,000 rpm. In this state, make sure
that “CHECK ENGINE”lightflashes. Flashing
of light proves that system is in good condition.
If light does not flash, it can be caused by
one of the following. Check them and replace
or adjust as necessary.
l Defective thermal switch
l Disconnected or loosely connected electric
lead wires of emission control systems
l Defective ECM
l Defective micro switches (idle and wot)
5)After making sure that “CHECK ENGINE”
light flashes, turn cancel switch OFF. Light
should go off.
6) Stop engine.
Checking idle and wide open micro switches
Check idle and wide open micro switches
according to the following procedures.
1. Warm up engine to normal operating tempe-
rature and stop engine.
2. For this check, use check terminal coming
from the lower right of instrument panel as
shown.
Connect negative prod of ohmmeter to check
terminal and positive prod to body.

[Checking sensors and their lead wires]
The sensors constituting the feed back system are; wide open micro switch, idle micro switch, thermal
switch, high altitude compensator, thermal engine room switch and fifth switch. If any of the above
sensors malfunctions or if the sensor circuit has some trouble, signals are not sent to the ECM and conse-
quently the feed back system will not function properly.
Therefore, check each sensor and its circuit according to the following procedure.
1) Turn OFF the ignition switch.
2) Disconnect the coupler from the ECM.
3) Connect the ohmmeter between the terminal @ of the disconnected coupler and the terminal @
(ground) as shown in below figure and measure the resistance. And then repeat the same with each of
the terminals 0, @I, @I, @ and @I.

4) If each ohmmeter reading is as given below, the sensor and its circuit are in good condition. But if not,
the sensor itself may be defective or the lead wire disconnected or out of contact. After checking,
connect the coupler to ECM securely.
