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.
If code No.27 reappears again, check the sub±oxygen sen-
sor circuit. If the circuit is normal, replace the sub±oxygen
sensor.
2. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE TERMINAL OF BATTERY
CAUTION: Work must be started after approx. 20 se-
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.

(c) Check the ignition timing.
Ignition timing: 8±125 BTDC @ idle
(Transmission in neutral range)
If the ignition timing is not as specified, check that following
conditions are normal: w Throttle valve fully closed
w Continuity between terminals IDL1 and E2 of the
throttle position sensor (See page FI±73)
w Valve timing (See page EM±51)
(e) Remove the SST from the check connector.
