INHIBITOR SWITCH The inhibitor switch’s ON (when “N” or
“P”) or OFF (when
other than “N” or
“P”) signals are input to the engine control
unit. The engine control unit, based on these signals, then
determines whether the transaxle is in neutral or is in a drive
range, and then activates the idle-speed control servo so as tc
regulate the idling rpm.

CONTROL RELAY (Fuel pump drive signal)
This relay senses that power is supplied to the pump.
-If power failed to be supplied to the fuel pump during
er,, .ecranking or during driving, the engine control unit judges that a
fault has occurred and stores corresponding diagnosis code
(No. 42) in memory and at the

By connecting a voltmeter between the
No.1 and No.12terminals of the diagnosis connector, the meter pointer will
deflect according to the output pattern shown before so that
the diagnosis code can be read.
To clear the diagnosis codes that are stored in the memory,
disconnect the

When a malfunction is detected in items related to emission
control (items marked
Q in the table), the engine warning light
(Malfunction indicator light) is illuminated to warn the driver of
the necessity for an engine check.
When the malfunction is corrected, the light goes off. The light
also goes off when the ignition switch is turned OFF. At that
time, it will not come on when the ignition switch is turned ON
unless a malfunction is detected again.
However, the light remains on for
E.5 seconds, after the
ignition switch is turned on. This is to allow the driver to check
that the engine warning light circuit is operating normally.

A change in barometric pressure, which may be caused by
change in altitude, alters the intake air density, resulting in an
improper air-fuel ratio. To compensate this deviation, the
amount of fuel injected is controlled; i.e., the amount of fuel
injected is decreased to compensate for the lower intake air
density caused by the decreased barometric pressure, or the
higher altitude.
CONTROL FOR FUEL ENRICHMENT DURING ACCELERA-
TIONDuring acceleration at low and middle loads, fuel supply rate is
increased to improve acceleration performance.
FUEL DECREASE CONTROL DURING DECELERATION
During deceleration, fuel supply rate is decreased to improve
fuel economy.
BATTERY VOLTAGE COMPENSATION
As described earlier in “INJECTOR”, the needle valve of the
injector is pulled to the fully open position when current flow-
through the solenoid coil. This means that there is a time I;
between the time when the current starts flowing and when
the needle valve starts opening. This time lag is called the dead
time.
The dead time varies with different battery conditions:: the
lower the battery voltage, the longer the dead time.
Since the injector activation duration depends on the intake air
volume and other factors, a longer dead time means a shorter
activation duration, or a smaller amount of fuel injected. This
results in an improper air-fuel ratio. At such times, the solenoid
coil is energized for a longer period of time depending on the
current battery voltage to correct the valve opening time, thus
ensuring that the optimum amount of fuel is injected.
Fuel Injection Control at Starting
When the engine is cranked, the map value preset according to
the engine coolant temperature is used as the basic injector
activation duration, to which the high altitude compensation is
applied..

When the air conditioner switch ON signal is input,
the engine control unit turns the air conditioner relay
ON to activate the air conditioner compressor.
In order to prevent vibrations or engine stalling due
to activation of the compressor, the engine control
unit controls the air conditioner relay so that the
compressor is activated after a predetermined
interval, according to the current operating condi-
tions.For models equipped with the automatic
transaxle,when the vehicle is subjected to acceleration at
which the throttle valve opening is great (throttle-
position sensor output voltage approximately
4V or
more, i.e. throttle valve opening approximately 65
degree or more), the air conditioner power relay
circuit is interrupted for a certain fixed time (approx-
imately five seconds) in order to maintain the
acceleration performance.
