26 POOR FUEL ECONOMY
DESCRIP-
l Fuel economy unsatisfactory TION
[TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS]
While fuel consumption is drastically increased by city driving, short-run operation, stop and go driving, extended winter
warm-up periods, etc., as opposed to “trip” mileage, an attempt should be made to determine these factors when con-
fronted with “poor mileage” conditions. However, since the operator is not always at fault, the following is offered.
@II Operator depressing accelerator more than usual due to
@ Air/Fuel mixture too rich
low engine power
l Poor ignition *High fuel line pressure
@ Alcohol blended fuel used
*Low intake air amount
l Electronic spark advance control system malfunction @ High vehicle load l Low tire pressure
*Clutch slipping/ATX slipping l Incorrect tire size l Exhaust component restricted l Brake dragging ;TEP

F SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
DESCRIPTION
The engine control unit (integrated with the EC-AT control unit) has built-in Self-Diagnosis function the same
as for the previous models. When trouble occurs in the main input devices or output devices, they are indi-
cated and retrieved from the engine control unit (ECU) as service code numbers.
When inspecting for service code(s) memorized in the ECU use the Self-Diagnosis checker and system selector
(SST).
Note
l The ECU constantly checks for malfunction of the in put devices. But, the ECU checks for
malfunction of output devices only in a three second period after the ignition switch is turned
ON and the TEN terminal of the diagnosis connector is grounded.

4. Connect the SST to the System Selector and a ground
5. Set the select switch to position A.
6. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
7. Verify that 88 flashes on the digital display and the buzzer
sounds for 3 sec. after turning the ignition switch ON.
8. If 88 does not flash, check the main relay (FUEL INJ relay)
(Refer to page F-172) power supply circuit, and diagno-
sis connector wiring.
9. If 88 flashes and the buzzer sounds continuously for more
than 20 sec., check for a short circuit between the engine
control unit terminal 1 F and the diagnosis connector. Re-
place the engine control unit if necessary and perform Steps
3 and 7 again.
23UOFX-049 IO. Note any code numbers and check for the causes by refer-
ring to the check sequences shown on pages F-88
through F-103. Repair as necessary.
Note
l Cancel the code numbers by performing the after-
repair procedure following repairs.
