Fuel Pressure Control VSV Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ECU turns on a VSV (Vacuum Switching Valve)
to draw the air into the diaphragm chamber of the
pressure regulator if it detects that the temperature of
the coolant is too high during engine starting.
The air drawn into the chamber increases the fuel
pressure to prevent fuel vapor lock at high engine
temperature in order to help the engine start when it
is warm.
Fuel pressure control ends approx. 100 secs. after
the engine is started.

DEFOGGER SYSTEM
Description
The component parts of this system and their functions are described in the\
following table.
 Parts Name\
 \
Function
 Defogger\
 \
When over current flows in the defogger circuit, the Defogger fuse break\
s the circuit to pro-
tect it against damage.
 


Defogger Relay\
 
\

\

This relay is supplied with current from terminal IG1 of ignition switch\
(Ignition switch
ON) and switches large current from the defogger.
 


A/C Control Panel
Assembly

Defogger Switch\
 
\

\

The defogger switch is built into the A/C Control Panel Assembly. This switch is
supplied with current from the relay and fuse HTR. Grounds current from \
the defogger
relay, turning the defogger relay ON.

(c) Turn the defogger switch ON and check that the test bulb andindicator light turn ON, then turn OFF after about 15 minutes.
If operation is not as specified, replace the air conditioner control
panel assembly.

INSPECTION AND REPAIR OF
DEFOGGER WIRES
1. INSPECT DEFOGGER WIRESNOTICE:
w When cleaning the glass, use a soft, dry cloth, and wipe
the glass in the direction of the wire. Take care not to
damage the wires.
w Do not use detergents or glass cleaners with abrasive
ingredients.
w When measuring voltage, wind a piece of tin foil around
the top of the negative probe and press the foil against
the wire with your finger as shown.
(a) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(b) Turn the defogger switch ON.
(c) Inspect the voltage at the center of each heat wire as
shown.
 Voltage Criteria
Approx. 5 VOkay (No break in wire) Approx. 10 V or 0 V Broken wire
HINT: If there is approximately 10 volts, the wire is broken be-
tween the center of the wire and the positive (+) end. If there
is no voltage, the wire is broken between the center of the
wire and ground.

STARTER RELAY
INSPECTION OF STARTER RELAY
(See page ST±2)
1. INSPECT RELAY CONTINUITY (a) Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity
between terminals 1 and 2.
(b) Check that there is no continuity between terminals 3 and 5.
If continuity is not as specified, replace the relay.
2. INSPECT RELAY OPERATION (a) Apply battery voltage across terminals 1 and 2.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuitybetween terminals 3 and 5.
If operation is not as specified, replace the relay.

ECU Power Source Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch is turned on, battery voltage
is applied to the terminal IG SW of the ECU, and the
main relay control circuit in the ECU sends a signal to
the terminal M±REL of the ECU, switching on the
main relay. This signal causes current to flow to the
coil, closing the contacts of the main relay and supply-
ing power to the terminals +B and +B1 of the ECU.
If the ignition switch is turned off, the ECU continues
to switch on the main relay for a maximum of 2 se-
conds for the initial setting of the ISC valve.
