ISC Valve Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ISC valve is provided on the intake air chamber and in-
take air bypassing the throttle valve is directed to the ISC
valve through a hose.
A step motor is built into the ISC valve. It consists of four
coils, the magnetic rotor, valve shaft and valve. When cur-
rent flows to the coils due to signals from the ECU, the rotor
turns and moves the valve shaft forward or backward,
changing the clearance between the valve and the valve
seat.
In this way the intake air volume bypassing the throttle valve
is regulated, controlling the engine speed.
There are 125 possible positions to which the valve can be
opened.
DIAGNOSTIC CHARTDIAGNOSTIC CHART
Check operation for ISC valve.Replace ISC valve.
Repair or replace harness or
connector.
Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on
matrix chart (See page TR±35).
Check harness and connector between EFI
main relay, ISC valve and ECU.

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.
DIAGNOSTIC CHARTDIAGNOSTIC CHART
Check operation for fuel pressure control
VSV.Replace fuel pressure control VSV.
Repair or replace harness or
connector.
Proceed to next circuit inspection
shown on matrix chart (See page
TR±35).
Check for open and short in harness and
connector between main relay and ECU.
Check voltage of VSV power source.
Check and replace ECU.
