EndPlay
NOTE; End play should be inspected before removing
crankshaft.
Push the crank firmly awav from the dial indicator, and
zero the dial against the end of the crank. Then pull the
crank firmly back toward the indicator; dial reading
should not exceed service limit.

. lf end play is excessive, inspect the thrust wash€rs
and thrust surface on the crankshaft. Replace pans as
necessary.
NOTE:
Thrust washer thickness is fixed and must not be
changed either by grinding or shimming.
Thrust washers are installed with grooved sides fac-

NOTE: Across each row in the chart. the systems that could be sources of a symptom are ranked in the order they should
be inspected staning with O. Find the symptom in the left column, read across to the most likely source. then refer
to the page listed at the top of that column. lf inspection shows the system is OK, try the next mosr likely system O, etc,
* lf codes other then those listed above are indicated, count the number of blinks again. It the MIL is in fact blinking
^ these codes, replace the ECM.
qy, lf the MIL is on while the engine is running. connect the SCS shon connector to the service check connector. It no
code is displayed {MlL stays on steady), the back-up system is in operation.
Substitute a known-good ECM and recheck. lf the indication goes away, replace the original ECM.

Self-diagnostic Procedures
When the Malfunction Indicator Lamp {MlL) has been reported on, do the following:
'1. Connect the SCS short connecto. to Service Check Connector as shown. (The 2P Service Check Connector is
located under the dash on the passenger side of the car.) Turn the ignition switch on.
DATA LII{KCONNECTOR (3PI
NOTE:Do not attachjumper wire.
2. Note the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC): The MIL indicates I code by the length 8nd numbsr ot blinks. The MIL
can indicate multiple component problems by blinking separate codes, one after another. Codes 1 through Igre
indicated by individual shon blinks. Codes 1O through 43 are indicated by a series of long and shon blinks. Th€
number of long blinks equals the first digit, the number ot short blinks equals the second digit. Sometimes the
firsr blink is difficult to see; always count the blinks at least twice to verify the code.

3. Fuel Cut-oft Control
a During deceleration with the throttle valve closed, current to the {uel injectors is cut otJ to improve fuel economy
at speeds over tollowing rpm:
. 8188l engine: 91O tpm (Canada model: 1,O50 rpm)
. 818C1 engine: 95O tpm (Canada model: l,O5O rpm)
a Fuel cut-olf action also takes place when engine speed exceeds, 7,O0O rpm {81 8B1 engine), 8,1O0 rpm (B 18Cl
engine), regardless oI the position of the throttle valve, to protect the engine from ovet-revving.
A/C Compressor Clutch Relay
When the ECM receives a domand for cooling trom the air conditioning system, it del8ys the compressor from being
enetgized, and enriches the mixture to assure smooth transition to the A/C mode.
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Purge Control Solenoid Valve
When the engine coolant tempersture is below 163oF {73"C), the ECM supplies a ground to the EVAP pu.ge control
solenoid valve which cuts vacuum to the EVAP purge control diaphragm valve.
Intake Air Bypsss (lAB) Control Sol€noid Valve
When the engine rpm is below 5,750 rpm, the IAB control solenoid valve is activated by a signal from the ECM,
intske air flows through the long intake path, then high torque is delivered. At spaeds highe. than 5,750 rpm, the
solenoid valve is deactivated by the ECM, and intake air flows through the short intake path in order to reduce the
resistance in airflow.
ECM fail-safe/bEck-up Functions
1. Fail-sate Function
When an abnormality occurs in a signal from a sensor, the ECM ignores that signal and assumes a pre-progtammed
value tor that sensor that allows the engine to continue to run.
Back-uD Function
When an abnormalitv occurs in the ECM itself, the fuel iniectors are controlled by a back-up citcuit independent of
the system in order to permit minimal driving.
Self-diagnosis Function IMaltunction Indicator Lamp {MlL)1
Wh6n an abnormality occurs in a signal from a sensor, the ECM supplies ground for the MIL and stores the code
in erasable memory. When the ignition is initially turned on, the ECM supplies ground tor the MIL tor two seconds
to check the MIL bulb condition.
Two Trio Detection Method
To prevent tals€ indications, th€ Two Trip Dstection Method is used for the HO2S and fuel metering-related self-
diagnostic tunctions. When an abnormslity occurs, the ECM stores it in its memo.y. Wh€n the ssme sbnormality
recurs alter the ignition switch is turned OFF and ON ag8in, the ECM informs the driver by lighting the MlL.
However, to ease troubleshooting, this function is canc€ll€d when you short the service check connector. The MIL
will then blink immedistelv when an abnormality occurs.
