CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The throttle position sensor is mounted in the throttle
body and detects the the throttle valve opening angle.
When the throttle valve is fully closed, the IDL contacts
in the throttle position sensor are on, so the voltage at
the terminal IDL of the ECM becomes 0 V. At this time,
a voltage of approximately 0.7 V is applied to the termi-
nal VTA of the ECM. When the throttle valve is opened,
the IDL contacts go off and thus the power source volt-
age of approximately 12 V in the ECM is applied to the
terminal IDL of the ECM. The voltage applied to the ter-
minal VTA of the ECM increases in the proportion to
the opening angle of the throttle valve and becomes
approximately 3.2 ± 4.9 V when the throttle valve is ful-
ly opened. The ECM judges the vehicle driving condi-
tions from these signals input from the terminals VTA
and IDL, and uses them as one of the conditions for de-
ciding the air±fuel ratio correction, power increase
corrections and fuel±cut control etc. The sub±throttle
position sensor is built and operates in the same way
as the main throttle position sensor. This sensor is
used for traction control. The sub±throttle valve is
opened and closed by the sub±throttle actuator ac-
cording to signals from the TRAC ECU to control the
engine output.

Diagnostic trouble code 41 is for the throttle position sensor circuit.
Diagnostic trouble code 47 is for the sub±throttle position sensor circuit.
When the connector for the throttle position sensor(s) is disconnected, diagnostic trouble code 41
or 47 is not displayed. Diagnostic trouble code 41 or 47 is displayed only when there is an open
or short in the VTA signal circuit of the throttle position sensor(s).
Signals from the throttle position sensor(s) are also input to the TRAC ECU, so when a malfunc±
tion occurs on the TRAC side, code 41 or 47 may be displayed.

DTC 43 Starter Signal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the engine is being cranked, the intake air flow is slow, so fuel vaporization is poor. A rich mixture is there-
fore necessary in order to achieve good startability. While the engine is being cranked, the battery positive volt-
age is applied to terminal STA of the ECM. The starter signal is mainly used to increase the fuel injection volume
for the starting injection control and after±start injection control.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The EGR system is designed to recirculate the exhaust gas, controlled according to the driving condi-
tions back into the intake air±fuel mixture. It helps to slow down combustion in the cylinder and thus
lower the combustion temperature which, in turn, reduces the amount of NO
x emission. The amount
of EGR is regulated by the EGR vacuum modulator according to the engine load.
If even one of the following conditions is fulfilled,
the VSV is turned ON by a signal from the ECM.
This resists in atmospheric air acting on the EGR
valve, closing the EGR valve and shutting off the
exhaust gas (EGR cut±OFF).

DTC 78 Fuel Pump Control Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The fuel pump speed is controlled at 2 steps (high speed, low speed) by the condition of the engine (starting,
light load, heavy load), when the engine starts (STA ON), the engine control module sends a Hi signal (battery
positive voltage) to the fuel pump ECU (FPC terminal).
The fuel pump ECU then outputs Hi voltage (battery positive voltage) to the fuel pump so that the fuel pump
operates at high speed.
After the engine starts, during idling or light loads, the engine control module outputs a Low signal (about 9 V)
to the fuel pump ECU, the fuel pump ECU outputs Low battery voltage (about 9 V) to the fuel pump and causes
the fuel pump to operate at low speed.
If the intake air volume increases (high engine load), the engine control module sends a Hi signal to the fuel
pump ECU and causes the fuel pump to operate at high speed.
DTC No.

Park Neutral Position Switch Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The park/neutral position switch goes on when the shift lever is in the N or P shift position. When it goes on the
terminal NSW of the ECM is grounded to body ground via the starter relay and theft deterrent ECU, thus the
terminal NSW voltage becomes 0 V. When the shift lever is in the D, 2, L or R position, the park/neutral position
switch goes off, so the voltage of ECM terminal NSW becomes positive battery voltage, the voltage of the ECM
internal power source.
If the shift lever is moved from the N position to the D position, this signal is used for air±fuel ratio correction
and for idle speed control (estimated control), etc.
When the park/neutral position switch is off, code º51º is output in the test mode diagnosis. (This is not abnor-
mal.)
