DTC 31 Volume Air Flow Meter Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
As shown in the figure at right, when a pillar (Vortex
generating body is placed in the path of a uniform
flow, vortices called Karman±Vortex are generated
downstream of the object. Using this principle, a
vortex generator is placed inside the volume air
flow meter. By measuring the frequency of the vor-
tices generated, the ECM can determine the vol-
ume of air flowing through the volume air flow me-
ter. The vortices are detected by their exerting
pressure on thin metal foil mirror) surfaces and a
light emitting element and light receptor (LED and
photo transistor) positioned opposite the mirror
which optically senses the vibrations in the mirror.
The ECM uses these signals mainly for calculation
of the basic injection volume and the basic ignition
advance angle.
DTC No.Diagnostic Trouble Code Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
All conditions below are detected:
(a) No volume air flow meter signal to ECM
for 2 sec. when engine speed is above
300 rpm
(b) Engine stall Open or short in volume air flow meter

ECM
if the ECM detects diagnostic trouble code ª31º, it operates the fail safe function, keeping the igni-
tion timing and fuel injection volume constant and making it possible to drive the vehicle. EG±438

Check fuel pressure.
Proceed to page EG±264 and continue to
troubleshoot.
(1) Be sure that there is enough fuel in the tank.
(2) Turn ignition switch ON.
(3) Using SST, connect terminals FP and +B of
data link connector 1.
SST 09843±18020
Check that there is pressure in the hose from the fuel
filter.
If there is fuel pressure, you will hear the sound of fuel
flowing.
Never make a mistake with the terminal con-
nection position as this will cause a malfunc-
tion.
Check for spark.
Proceed to page IG±21 and continue to trou-
bleshoot.
Proceed to matrix chart of problem symptoms
on page EG±514.
(1) Remove ignition coil (See page IG±26)
(2) Remove spark plug.
(3) Install the spark plug to the ignition coil, and connect
the ignition coil connector.
(4) Ground the spark plug.
Check if spark occurs while engine is being cranked.
To prevent excess fuel being injected from the injectors
during this test, don't crank the engine for more than 1
Ð 2 seconds at a time.

TURBOCHARGER COMPONENTS
INSPECTION
Turbochargers
1. INSPECT TURBINE SHAFT ROTATION
Grasp the edge of the turbine wheel and turn it. Check that
the impeller wheel turns smoothly.
If the impeller wheel does not turn or if it turns with a drag, re-
place the turbocharger assembly.
2. INSPECT AXIAL PLAY OF TURBINE SHAFT
(a) Using a dial indicator, insert the needle of the dial indicator
into the air tube side.
(b) Move the turbine shaft in an axial direction, measure the axial
play of the turbine shaft.
Maximum axial play:
0.110 mm (0.0045 in.)
If the axial play is greater than maximum, replace the turbo-
charger assembly.
3. INSPECT RADIAL PLAY OF TURBINE SHAFT
(a) Using a dial indicator, insert the needle of the dial indicator
into the oil outlet hole and set it in the center of the turbine
shaft.
(b) Move the turbine shaft in a radial direction, measure the
radial play of the turbine shaft.
Maximum radial play:
0.162 mm (0.0064 in.)
If the axial play is greater than maximum, replace the turbo-
charger assembly.
4. INSPECT WASTE GATE VALVE OPERATION
(a) Disconnect the actuator air hose from the housing, and plug
the hose end.
(b) Using SST, apply approx. 120 kPa (1.22 kgf/cm
2, 17.4 psi) of
pressure to the actuator.
SST 09992±00241
(c) Move the actuator push rod, and check that the waste gate
valve is open.
If operation is not as specified, replace the No.1 turbocharger
assembly.
NOTICE: Never apply more than 187 kPa (1.91 kgf/cm2, 27.2
psi) of pressure to the actuator.
(d) Reconnect the actuator air hose to the housing. EG±158
