4. Connect the SST to the System Selector and a ground
5. Set the select switch to position A.
6. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
7. Verify that 88 flashes on the digital display and the buzzer
sounds for 3 sec. after turning the ignition switch ON.
8. If 88 does not flash, check the main relay (FUEL INJ relay)
(Refer to page F-172) power supply circuit, and diagno-
sis connector wiring.
9. If 88 flashes and the buzzer sounds continuously for more
than 20 sec., check for a short circuit between the engine
control unit terminal 1 F and the diagnosis connector. Re-
place the engine control unit if necessary and perform Steps
3 and 7 again.
23UOFX-049 IO. Note any code numbers and check for the causes by refer-
ring to the check sequences shown on pages F-88
through F-103. Repair as necessary.
Note
l Cancel the code numbers by performing the after-
repair procedure following repairs.
