MATRIX CHART OF PROBLEM SYMPTOMS
When the malfunction code is not confirmed in the diagnostic trouble code ch\
eck and the problem still can not
be confirmed in the basic inspection, then proceed to this step and perfor\
m troubleshooting according to the
numbered order given in the table below.
The circuits indicated by on the matrix chart can be inspected using th\
e TCCS checker.

Remove distributor cap & rotor.
Using SST (G1 and G2 pickups) and a thikness gauge
(NE pickup). measure the air gap between the signal
rotor projection and pickup coil.
SST 09240±00020 fro G1 and G2 pickups
Air gap: 0.2±0.4 mm (0.008±0.016 in.)
Replace distributor.
Check and replace engine (& ECT) ECU.

DIAGNOSTIC CHART
This code indicates that a momentary interruption of the RPM signal from the\
distributor to the ECU has
occurred, but that it is returned to normal. Note that although this problem may \
not necessarily appear
at the time of inspection, it cannot be ignored because this diagnostic co\
de is output, indicating that there
is or was a malfunction in the RPM signal circuit; this ºmalfunctionº\
is usually a loose connector.
The distributor connector and the NE terminal of the ECU connector must the\
refore be checked for the
following:
1. Loose connectors
2. Dirty connector terminals
3. Loose connector terminals

Check valve timing (Check for loose and jumping teeth
of timing belt (See page EM±51)). Tighten the sensor.
Replace signal plate.
Adjust valve timing
(Repair or replace timing belt).
HINT: Perform troubleshooting of diag. code 12 first. If no trouble is found, trouble\
shoot the following mechanical systems.
Check for momentary interruption
