INSPECTION OF SUB±OXYGEN
SENSORS
1. INSPECT SUB±OXYGEN SENSORS(a) Cancel diagnostic code. (See TR section)
(b) A llo w th e en g in e to wa rm up to no rma l op e ra tin gtemperature.
(c) Drive for 5 minutes or more between 80km/h (50 mph) and 100 km/h (62 mph) in ºDº range.
(d) Following the conditions in step (c), press fully on the accelerator pedal for 2 seconds or more.
HINT: Do not exceed 100 km/h (62 mph), or diagnostic code
will be cancelled.
(e) Stop the vehicle, and turn the ignition switch to OFF.
(f) Carry out steps (b), (c) and (d) again to test acceleration.

sor circuit. If the circuit is normal, replace the sub±oxygen
sensor.
2. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE TERMINAL OF BATTERY

conds or longer from the time the ignition switch is
turned to the ºLOCKº position and the negative (±) termi-
nal cable is disconnected from the battery.
3. REMOVE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER KNOB (a) Push down the lever cover.
(b) Remove the two screws and shift lever knob.
(c) Remove the lever cover.

SYSTEM CIRCUIT
OPERATION
When the ignition switch is turned to START, current flows from terminal 50 to the coil of the solenoid and
the plunger is pulled by the magnetic force of the coil. When the plunger is pulled \
to the left as shown above,
the contact plate of the plunger allows current from the battery to flow di\
rectly from terminal 30 to the motor, and
the starter rotates. When the engine is running and the ignition switch is returned to ON, the ma\
gnetic force of the coil disappears
and the contact plate of the plunger is returned to its original position by the return spring. Battery voltage no
longer flows from terminal 30, so the motor stops.

BASIC INSPECTION
When the normal code is displayed in the diagnostic code check, troubleshoot\
ing should be performed in the
order for all possible circuits to be considered as the causes of the pr\
oblems.
In many cases, by carrying out the basic engine check shown in the follo\
wing flow chart, the location causing
the problem can be found quickly and ef ficiently. Therefore, use of this check is essential in engine troubleshoot-
ing.
1Is battery voltage 11 V or more when engine is stopped?
Charge or replace battery.
2Is engine cracnked?
Proceed to matrix to matrix chart of problem
symptoms on page TR±35.
3Does engine start?
Go to step [7]
4Check air filter
C
Hint
PRemove air filter
Visially check that the air cleaner element is not exces-
sively damaged or oily.
If necessary, clean element with compressed air. First
blow from inside thoroughly, then blow off outside of ele-
ment.
Repair or replace
