INSPECTION PROCEDURE - USING VOLTMETERN14PCAGZ
(1) Connect an analogue voltmeter to the self-diagnosis con-
nector.(2) Turn ignition switch to ON, and indication of engine control
unit memory contents will immediately start. If the system
is in normal condition, pointer of voltmeter indicates normalpattern. If any abnormality is in memory, the pointer of
voltmeter will deflect, indicating abnormal item as de-
scribed in “Diagnosis Chart”.
After recording the abnormal item, check and repair each
part according to the check items in “Diagnosis Chart”.
(3) If the defective parts have been repaired, disconnect the
negative terminal of battery cable for
10 seconds or more
and connect it again to make sure that the abnormal code
has been erased.

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.)

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDM%,&ACCELERATOR CABLE
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.

1.Jack up the front wheels and support them by using a floor
stand.2. Manually turn the oil pump pulley a few times.
3. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and right
several times.
4.Disconnect the high-tension cable, and then, while operatingthe starting motor intermittently, turn the steering wheel all
the way to the left and right several times
(for 1-5 to 20
seconds).
Caution
1. During air bleeding, replenish the fluid supply so thatthe level never falls below the lower positiin
@f the
eiter.I .“:
2. If air bleeding is done while engine is runnind, ‘the air
will be
brokeir up and absorbed intti the fluid;‘?ti’ sureto do the bleeding only while cranking.
5.Connect the ignition cable, and then start the engine (idling).6. Turn the steering wheel to the left and right until there are
no air bubbles in the oil reservoir.
7. Confirm that the fluid is not milky, and that the level is
upito the specified position on the level gauge.
8.Confirm that there is very little change in the fluid level whenthe steering wheel is turned left and right.
9.Check whether or not the change in the fluid level is within5 mm
(.2 in.) when the engine is stopped and when it is
running.
Caution
1.If the change of the fluid level is 5 mm I.2 in.) or more,
the air has not been completely bled from the system,
and thus must be bled completely.2. If the fluid level rises suddenly after the engine is
stopped, the air has not been completely bled.
3. If air bleeding is not complete, there will be abnormal
noises from the pump and the flow-control valve, and
this
condition could cause a lessening of the life of the
pump, etc.

CHECKING THE OIL PUMP RELIEF PRESSURE1. Disconnect the pressure hose from the oil pump, and then
connect the special tools.
2.Bleed the air, and then turn the steering wheel several timeswhile the vehicle is not moving so that the temperature of
the fluid rises to approximately
50-60°C (122-14OOF).3. Start the engine and idle it at 1,000
f 100 rpm.
4. Fully close the shut-off valve of the pressure gauge and
measure the oil pump relief pressure to confirm that it is
within the standard value range.
Standard value: 7.5-8.2
MPa (1,067-1,166 psi)
Caution
Pressure gauge shut off valve must not remain closed formore than 10 seconds.
5.If it is not within the standard value, overhaul the oil pump.
6.Remove the special tools, and then tighten the pressure hoseto the specified torque.
7. Bleed the system.
CHECKING THE PRESSURE UNDER NO-LOAD CONDITIONS1. Disconnect the pressure hose from the oil pump, and then
connect the special tool.
2.Bleed the air, and then turn the steering wheel several timeswhile the vehicle is not moving so that the temperature of
the fluid rises to approximately
50-60°C (122-14OOF).3. Start the engine and idle it at 1,000
-t 100 rpm.
4.
Check whether or not the hydraulic pressure is the standard
value when no-load conditions are created by fully openingthe shut-off valve of the pressure gauge.
Standard value:
0.8-I .O MPa (114-142 psi)
Limit: 1.5
MPa (213 psi)
5. If it is not within the standard value, the probable cause is
a malfunction of the oil line or steering gear box, so check
these parts and repair as necessary.
6.Remove the special tools, and then tighten the pressure hoseto the specified torque.
7. Bleed the system.

”N21EeAYFunctional malfunctions of the ELC4A/T can lead to other
problems, such as those described below:
(1) Improper maintenance and/or adjustments
(2) Malfunctions of the electronic control functions
(3) Malfunctions of mechanical functions
(4) Malfunctions of hydraulic control functions
(5) Malfunctions of engine performance
etc.In order to properly determine (“Troubleshoot”) the source of
these malfunctions, it is first essential to methodically ques-
tion the user concerning the details of the problem, such qs
the condition of the problem, the situation at the time the
problem occurred, and any other relevant information, all in as
much detail as possible. The user
shoutd also be asked
whether or not the problem has occurred more than once,
and under what conditions.
Subsequently, certain tests should be conducted in a certain
order, as described at the left.
