INJECTORS
NWXAHCHECKING OPERATION SOUND
Using a sound-scope, check the operation sound (“chi-chi-chi”)of the injectors during idling or during cranking.
Check to be sure that the operation sound increases when the
engine speed is increased.
Caution
Note that the sounds of other injectors may be heard even
though the injector being checked is not operating, so caremust be taken when checking.
NOTEIf the operation sounds cannot be heard, check the injector
activation circuit.
If this circuit is normal, there is probably a malfunction of the
injector or of the engine control unit.
MEASURING OF RESISTANCE BETWEEN TERMINALS
(1) Disconnect the connector for the injectors.
(2) Measure the resistance between terminals.
Standard value:
13
-16 S2 [at 20°C (68”F)]2
- 3 52 [at 20% (68”F)]
(3) Connect the connector for the injectors.
IDLE SPEED CONTROL SERVO
N14QUADCHECKING OPERATING SOUND
(1) Check that when the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position (the engine not started), the operating sound of thestepper motor can be heard over the idle speed control
servo.
(2) If no operating sound can be heard, check the stepper
motor drive circuit.
(If the circuit is good, a defective stepper motor or engine
control unit is suspected.)

OPERATIONAL CHECK
NOTEBefore the vacuum hoses are removed, make a mark’on the
-
hose for visual identification so that they can be reconnected in,their original positions.
(1) Remove the vacuum hoses (blue stripes and black) from
the solenoid valve.
(2) Disconnect the harness connector.
(3) Apply vacuum with a hand vacuum pump to the nipple to
which the black vacuum hose was connected and check for
air tightness both when a voltage is applied to the solenoidvalve terminal and when the voltage is removed.

CNSPECTION AN&I ”ADJUSTMENT
For models equipped with the auto-cruise control systemreferto
P.14-136.(1) Turn air conditioner and lights OFF.
Inspect and adjust at no load.
2) Warm engine until stabilized at idle.
3) Confirm idle speed is at prescribed rpm.
4) Stop engine (ignition switch OFF).
5) Confirm there are no sharp bends in accelerator cable.
6) Check inner cable for correct slack.
7) If there is too much slack or no slack, adjust play by the
following procedures.
@ On models with an SOHC engine, turn the ignition
switch to the ON position (without starting the engine)
and leave in that condition for approximately 15
seconds.@
Loosen the adjusting bolts on the air intake plenum, andthen secure the outer cable so that the free play of the
inner cable will be the standard value.
Standard value:
jlr
l-2 mm (.04-.08 in.) \. *
3-5 mm (.12-.20 in.)
NOTEIf there is excessive play of the accelerator cable, the
vehicle speed drop (“undershoot”) when climbing a slope
will be large.
If there is no play (excessive tension) of the accelerator
cable, the idling speed will increase.
(8) After adjusting, confirm that throttle valve fully opens and
closes by operating pedal.
(9) Adjust accelerator cable play and confirm throttle lever
stopper touches the idle switch.
ACCELERATOR SWITCH INSPECTION AND
ADJUSTMENT
NlWlEB(1) After warming up the engine, check to be sure that the
accelerator switch is ON when the accelerator pedal’ is in
the free condition. If there is a malfunction, adjust by using
the adjusting bolt.
(2) Press the accelerator pedal by hand until the accelerator
switch switches from ON to OFF and confirm that the
amount of pedal movement (A in the figure) is within the
standard value range.
Standard value:
Accelerator switch switching point
2-6 mm
(.08-.24 ‘in.)
(3) If the distance (A in the figure) is not within the standard
value, adjust it by using the adjusting bolt.

Auto-cruisecontrol unitDescription of operation
When the SET switch is switched ON (at the vehicle speed
desired to be maintained, and with the CRUISE switch of the
cruise-control switches ON) that vehicle speed is maintained as
a constanf speed.
Furthermore, the constant speed is gradually reduced (the
“coasting” feature) when the SET switch is pressed and held
while the vehicle is traveling at the previously set constant
speed, and, when the SET switch is released, the vehicle then
maintains that newly set constant speed (the speed at whichthe SET switch was released).
Current flows to the control unit, the cruise control switch
(“SET”), and to ground.Troubleshooting hint

Ignition switchm
& Accel-/Description of operation
The accelerator switch is a switch that detects the operationalstatus of the accelerator pedal; it is one of the sensors of theautomatic, transaxle.Because the status of the accelerator pedal during constant-speed driving is non-operational, the ground circuit (transistorTr2) of the accelerator switch is switched OFF only during
constant-speed driving in order not to interfere wtth the function
of the automatic transaxle.Troubleshooting hint

SELF-DIAGNOSIS CHECKSelf-diagnosis checking is performed when there has been an
automatic cancellation, without cancel switch
operati’on.(1) The following method can be used for checking the
diagnosis. Note that the diagnosis check connector is
located under the driver’s side instrument panel.
Connect a voltmeter between the ground terminal and the
terminal for auto-cruise control of the diagnosis check
connector.It is possible to discover which circuit is the cause of the
cancellation by verifying the indication shown by the
voltmeter with the display patterns shown on the next
page.(2) When the diagnosis code No. is displayed, inspect accord-
ing to the inspection chart No. related to each code No.
NOTECanceling the diagnosis codes
The diagnosis codes remain in memory until the battery is
turned off but they can be canceled in the following ways
without disconnecting the battery terminals.
1. By turning on the ignition switch
2.By turning the cruise switch ON while the SET switch is ONand then, within 1 second, turning the RESUME switch
ON. (Put into condition for input check reception)
3.By turning ON set SET switch and stop light switch at the
same time and continuing the ON condition for 5 seconds
or more.
4.By checking that the diagnosis codes are canceled using avoltmeter.

3. Display codes are displayed only if the circuit is normal
according to the conditions shown in the table on the next
page.(1) The voltmeter is set in the same way as for the
self-diagnosis check.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to ON and switch OFF the CRUISEswitch.
(3) With the SET switch in the ON position, turn the CRUISE
switch ON. Then, within 1
.O second, place the RESUME
switch in the ON position..
(4) Perform each input operation according to the input check
table (on the next page) and read the codes.
(5) Switch the CRUISE switch OFF.
