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.

Neutral Start Switch Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The neutral start switch goes on when the shift lever is in the N or P shif\
t position. When it goes on the terminal
NSW of the ECU is grounded to body ground via the starter relay and theft deterrent ECU\
, thus the terminal
NSW voltage becomes 0V. When the shift lever is in the D, 2, L or R position, the neutral start\
switch goes off,
so the voltage of ECU terminal NSW becomes battery voltage, the voltage of the ECU internal power source.
If the shift lever is moved from the N range to the D range, this signal\
is used for air±fuel ratio correction and
for idle speed control (estimated control), etc.
When the neutral start switch is off, code º51º is output in the test mode diagnosis. (This is not a\
bnormal.)
DIAGNOSTIC CHARTDIAGNOSTIC CHART
HINT: This diagnosis chart is based on premise that the engine is cranked norm\
ally. If the engine is notcranked, proceed to the matrix chart of problem symptoms on page TR±35.

Proceed to next circuit inspection shown
on matrix chart (See page TR±35).

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.
