@ Connect a digital type voltmeter between terminal @
(blue clip, sensor output) of the throttle position sensor
and terminal
@I (red clip, sensor ground).

@I Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector and use the special tool (test harness set) between the
disconnected connector.

(3) Switch ON the ignition switch (but do not start the engine) and leave as is for 15 seconds or longer.
NOTE
When the ignition switch is switched ON, the idle speedcontrol plunger extends to the fast-idle opening degree,
and, after 15 seconds have passed, contracts to the initial
position and stops there.Initial position: the suitable idling position at which the idle speed control motor position sensor output
voltage is 0.9 V.
(4) Check the throttle-position sensor’s output voltage. If the scan tool is used, select No. 14 and then read the
throttle-position sensor’s output voltage.

(5) If there is a deviation from the standard value, loosen the
throttle-position sensor installation bolt and then turn the
throttle-position sensor itself to make the adjustment. Be
sure to securely retighten the bolt after making the
adjustment.
NOTE
lThe output voltage becomes higher when the throttle-
position sensor is turned clockwise.
lA diagnostic trouble code for idle speed control motor position sensor may be output when adjusting the
throttle position sensor. The reason is that, when the
throttle position sensor is turned, the throttle position sensor voltage may differ from the normal voltage dur-
ing idling, but this is no malfunction of the idle speed
control motor position sensor.
(6) Switch OFF the ignition switch. (7) If a diagnostic trouble code is output when adjusting the throttle position sensor, use the scan tool and erase the di-
agnostic trouble code or first disconnect the battery (-)
cable from the battery terminal for IO
seconds or more and
then reconnect it. (This will erase the memory for the diag- nostic trouble code due to adjustment of the throttle posi-
tion sensor.)

l While the ignition switch is ON, battery power
supply is supplied to the engine control module,injectors, volume air flow sensor, etc.
l When the ignition switch is switched ON, cur-

OPERATION
l The volume air flow sensor is incorporated
within the air cleaner; it functions to convert the
amount of engine air intake to pulse signals of a
frequency proportional to the amount of engine air intake, and to input those/signals to the en-
gine control module. The engine control module
then, based upon those signals, calculates the amount to fuel injection, etc.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Hint 1:
If the engine sometimes stalls, try starting the en-
gine and shaking the volume air flow sensor har-
ness.
If the engine then stalls, incorrect or improper con-
tact of the volume air flow sensor connector is the probable cause.
Hint 2:
If, when the ignition switch is switched ON (but the
engine is not started), the volume air flow sensor
output frequency is any value other than zero, a
malfunction of the volume air flow sensor or of the
engine control module is the probable cause. Hint 3:
If idling is possible even though the volume air flow
sensor output frequency is deviated from the stand-
ard value, the cause is usually a malfunction other
than of the volume air flow sensor. l The power for the volume air flow sensor is
supplied from the multiport fuel injection relay
to the volume air flow sensor, and is grounded at the engine control module. The volume air
flow sensor, by intermitting the flow of the
5V
voltage applied from the engine control module,
produces pulse signals.
Examples:
(1) The flow of air within the volume air flow sensor is disturbed. (Air duct disconnection or clogged
air cleaner element)
(2) Incomplete combustion within a cylinder. (Malfunction of spark plugs, ignition coil, injec-
tors, compression pressure, etc.)
(3) Air is taken into the intake manifold through a leaking gasket, etc.
(4) Incomplete close contact of the EGR valve seat.
