Diag. Code 51Switch Condition Signal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Neutral Start Switch Signal
The ECU uses the signals from the neutral start switch to determine whether\
the transmission is in park or neu-
tral, or in some other gear.
Air Conditioner Switch Signal
The ECU uses the output from the air conditioner switch to determine whethe\
r or not the air conditioner is operat-
ing so that it can increase the idling speed of the engine if necessary.
Throttle Position Sensor IDL Signal
The IDL contacts are mounted in the throttle position sensor, and detects the idle condition.

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.

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.
