CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION (Cont'd)
DIAGNOSIS CODE DETECTION DRIVING PATTERN
Purpose of the driving pattern.
(a) To simulate diag. code detecting condition after diag. code is recorded.
(b) To check that the malfunction is corrected when the repair is completed co\
nfirming that diag. code isno longer detected.

Disconnect the EFI fuse (15 A) for 10 sec. or more, with IG switch OFF\
.
Initiate test mode (Connect terminal TE2 and E1 of check connector or TDCL with IG
switch OFF).
Start the engine and warm up with all ACC switch OFF.
After the engine is warmed up, let it idle for 3 min.
After performing the idling in , perform gradual acceleration with in th\
e range 1,300
1,700 rpm (centered around 1,500 rpm) with the A/C switch ON and D range fo\
r A/T
(5th for M/T).
(Take care that the engine speed does not fall below 1,200 rpm when shifting.\
Gradu-
ally depress the accelerator pedal and kept it. Steady so that engine br\
aking does not
occur).
Maintain the vehicle speed at 40±50 mph (64±80 km/h).
Keep the vehicle running for 1±2 min. after starting acceleration.
HINT: If a malfunction exists, the ºCHECKº engine warning light will light\
up after approx. 60 sec. from the start of acceleration.
NOTICE: If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of t\
he malfunction will not be possible.

Diag. Code 16ECT Control Signal Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The signal from the ECT CPU retards the ignition timeing of the engine duri\
ng ECT gear shifting, thus mo-
mentarily reducing torque output of the engine for smooth clutch operati\
on inside the transmission and re-
duced shift shock.
Code No.Diagnostic Code Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
16Fault in communications between the engine
CPU and ECT CPU in the ECU.
ECU
If the ECU records the diagnostic code ª16º in memory, it prohibits the torque control of the ECT which per-
forms smooth gear shifting.
DIAGNOSTIC CHARTDIAGNOSTIC CHART
Are there any other codes (besides Code 16)
being output?
Replace engine & ECT ECU. Go to relevant diag. code chart.

Diag. Code 21, 28Main Oxygen Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
To obtain a high purification rate for the CO, HC and NOx components of th\
e exhaust gas, a three±way
catalyst is used, but for most efficient use of the three±way catalyst, the air±fuel ratio must be \
precisely
controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air±fuel \
ratio.
The oxygen sensor has the characteristic whereby its output voltage chan\
ges suddenly in the vicinity of
the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio. This characteristic is used to det\
ect the oxygen concentration in the ex-
haust gas and provide feedback to the computer for control of the air±\
fuel ratio.
When the air±fuel ratio becomes LEAN, the oxygen concentration in the exh\
aust increases and the oxygen
sensor informs the ECU of the LEAN condition (small electromotive force: O V)\
.
When the air±fuel ratio is RICHER than the stoichiometric air±fuel\
ratio the oxygen concentration in the
exhaust gas is reduced and the oxygen sensor informs the ECU of the RICH condition (large electromotive
force: 1V).
The ECU judges by the electromotive force from the oxygen sensor whether th\
e air±fuel ratio is RICH or
LEAN and controls the injection time accordingly. However, if malfunction of the oxygen sensor causes
output of abnormal electromotive force, the ECU is unable to perform accurate \
air±fuel ratio control.
The main oxygen sensors include a heater which heats the Zirconia element. The heater is controlled by
the ECU. When the intake air volume is low (the temperature of the exhaust\
gas is low) current flows to
the heater to heat the sensor for accurate oxygen concentration detectio\
n.

around 1,500 rpm).
(Take care that the engine speed does not fall below 1,200 rpm when
shifting. Gradually depress the accelerator pedal and kept it. Steady so
that engine braking does not occur.)
