Malfunctionl
If the sensor impressed voltage is abnormal, check the wire
for an open circuit or short-circuit to ground and repair as
necessary. If the wire is normal, replace the engine control
unit and check again.l To check the voltage, use a digital voltmeter (or circuit
tester) as a rule.
[However, use an analog voltmeter for checking the power
transistor drive voltage.]ENGINE WARNING LIGHT (MALFUNCTION IN-
DICATOR LIGHT)
Among the self-diagnosis items, a malfunction indicator lightcomes on to notify the driver of the emission control items
when an irregurality is detected.
However, when an irregular signal returns to normal and theengine control unit judges that it has returned to normal, the
malfunction indicator light goes out.
Moreover, when the ignition switch is turned off, the light goes
out. Even if the ignition switch is turned on again, the light doesnot come on until the irregularity is detected.
Here, immediately after the ignition switch is turned on, the
malfunction indicator light is lit for 5 seconds to indicate that
the malfunction indicator light operates normally.
ITEMS INDICATED BY THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR
LIGHT
Engine control unit
Oxygen sensor
Air flow sensor
Intake air temperature sensor
Throttle position sensor
Engine coolant temperature sensor
Crank angle sensor
Top dead center sensor
Barometric pressure sensor
Detonation sensor
Ignition timing adjustment signal
Injector
EGR system
Ignition coil, power transistor unit
Caution
The malfunction indicator light comes on when the line ofthe ignition timing adjustment terminal is shorted to
ground. Therefore, the light also comes on when the
ignition timing adjustment terminal is grounded to adjust
the ignition timing, but this does not show any abnormal-
ity.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT INSPECTION
(1) Check that when the ignition switch is turned on, the lightilluminates for about 5 seconds and then goes out.
(2) If the light does not illuminate, check for open circuit in
dharness, blown fuse and blown bulb.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS
The engine control unit monitors the input/output signals (some
signals at all times and the others under specified conditions) ofthe engine control unit.
When it is noticed that an irregularity has continued for a
specified time or longer from when the irregular signal is
initially monitored, passing a certain number, the engine controlunit judges that an irregularity has occurred, memorizes the
malfunction code, and outputs the signal to the self-diagnosis
output terminal.
There are 21 diagnosis items, including the normal state, andthe diagnosis results can be read out with a voltmeter or
multi-use tester.Moreover, since memorization of the malfunction codes is
backed up directly by the battery, the diagnosis results are
memorized even if the ignition key is turned off. The malfunc-
tion codes will, however, be erased when the battery terminalor the engine control unit connector is disconnected.
The malfunction code can also be erased by turning on the
ignition switch and sending the malfunction code erase signalfrom the multi-use tester to the engine control unit.
CautionIf the sensor connector is disconnected with the ignition
_ _switch turned on, the malfunction code is memorized. Ind
this case, send the malfunction code erase signal from themulti-use tester to the engine control unit or disconnect
the battery terminal
(-) for 10 seconds or more, and the
diagnosis memory will be erased.
The 21 diagnosis items are provided as follows, and if plural
items are activated, they are all indicated sequentially from the
smallest code number.
CautionThe malfunction code for the ignition timing adjustment
signal is output when the line of the ignition timing
adjustment terminal is shorted to ground. Therefore, the
malfunction code is also output when the ignition timing
adjustment terminal is grounded to adjust the ignition
timing, but this does not show any abnormality.

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
MlBFHSU
BASIC IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
NOTE(1) The basic idle speed has been factory-adjusted with the
speed adjusting screw (SAS) and does not normally require
adjustment.(2) If the adjustment is required, first check that the ignition
plug, injector,
ISC servo, and compression pressure are
normal.
(1) Before starting the inspection and adjustment procedures,set the vehicle in the following conditions:
l
Engine coolant temperature: 80 to 95°C (176 to 205°F)l Lights, electric cooling fan, accessories: OFF
lTransaxle: Neutral (P range on vehicles with automatic
transaxle)l Steering wheel: Straightforward position
(2) When using the multi-use tester, connect it to the diagnosis
connector.
NOTEThe connection of the multi-use tester grounds the
self-
diagnosis/data transmission selector terminal.
(3) When not using the multi-use tester, proceed as follows:
@) Insert a paper clip into the l-pin blue connector as
shown in the illustration. FUEL SYSTEM
- Service Adjustment Procedurks13-31
i
@ Connect a primary-voltage-detecting tachometer to the
paper clip.
NOTEThe
tacho/neter should read l/3 of the actual engine
speed. This means that the actual engine speed is thetachometer reading multiplied by 3.

lThe electrical load switch inputs ON/OFF state of the switch of equipment that consumes much powerduring idling, namely, equipment with a large electrical load, to the engine control unit. Based on this
signal, the engine control unit controls the idle-speed control servo.

(14)Stop the engine and check for a change of the value
indicated by the fuel pressure gauge. The condition is
normal if there is no decrease of the indicated value within~
two minutes.
,If there is a decrease of the indicated value, monitor the
:d ’speed of the decrease, and, referring to the table below,
determine the cause of the problem and make the
appropriate repair.
Condition
After the engine is stopped, thefuel pressure drops gradually.Probable cause
Injector leakage.
Leakage at the fuel pressure
regulator valve seat.Remedy
Replace the injector.
Replace the fuel pressure regulator.
There is a sudden sharp drop of
the fuel pressure immediately
after the engine is stopped.The check valve (within the fuelpump) is not closed.Replace the fuel pump.
(15)Remove all remaining pressure from inside the fuel pipe.(16)Disconnect the fuel pressure gauge and the special tool
from the delivery pipe.
CautionBecause there will be.a slight amount of remaining
pressure in the fuel pipe line, use rags to cover so thatfuel doesn’t splatter.
(17)Replace the O-ring at the end of the fuel high-pressure hose
with a new one.(I 8)After connecting the fuel high-pressure hose to the delivery
pipe, tighten the installation bolt at the specified torque.
dTightening torque: 5.0 Nm (3.6 ftlbs.)
(19)Check to be sure that there is no fuel leakage.@ Apply battery voltage to the terminal for activation of
the fuel pump so as to activate the fuel pump.@ With fuel pressure applied, check for leakage of the fuel
line.
