DTC 14 Ignition Signal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ECM determines the ignition timing, turns on Tr1 at a predetermined angle (°CA) before the desired ignition
timing and outputs an ignition signal (IGT) º1º to the igniter.
Since the width of the IGT signal is constant, the dwell angle control circuit in the igniter determines the time
the control circuit starts primary current flow to the ignition coil based on the engine rpm and ignition timing one
revolution ago, that is, the time the Tr
2 turns on.
When it reaches the ignition timing, the ECM turns Tr
1 off and outputs the IGT signal ºOº.
This turns Tr
2 off, interrupting the primary current flow and generating a high voltage in the secondary coil which
causes the spark plug to spark. Also, by the counter electromotive force generated when the primary current
is interrupted, the igniter sends an ignition confirmation signal (IGF) to the ECM.
The ECM stops fuel injection as a fail safe function when the IGF signal is not input to the ECM.

DTC 16 A T Control Signal Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The signal from the A/T CPU retards the ignition timing of the engine during A/T gear shifting, thus momentarily
reducing torque output of the engine for smooth clutch operation inside the transmission and reduced shift
shock.

If the ECM detects the diagnostic trouble code º16º in memory, it prohibits the torque control of the A/T which
performs smooth gear shifting.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
To obtain a high purification rate for the Co, Hc and NOx components of the exhaust gas, a three±way catalytic
converter is used, but for most efficient use of the three±way catalytic converter, the air±fuel ratio must be pre-
cisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio.
The oxygen sensor has the characteristic whereby its output voltage changes suddenly in the vicinity of the stoi-
chiometric air±fuel ratio. This characteristic is used to detect the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas and
provide feedback to the computer for control of the air fuel ratio.
When the air±fuel ratio becomes LEAN, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust increases and the oxygen sen-
sor informs the ECM of the LEAN condition (small electromotive force: 0 V).
When the air±fuel ratio is RICHER than the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio the oxygen concentration in the exhaust
gas is reduced and the oxygen sensor informs the ECM of the RICH condition (large electromotive force: V).
The ECM judges by the electromotive force from the oxygen sensor whether the air±fuel ratio is RICH or LEAn
and controls the injection duration accordingly. However, if malfunction of the oxygen sensor causes an output
of abnormal electromotive force, the ECM is unable to perform accurate air±fuel ratio control.
The main heated oxygen sensors include a heater which heats the Zirconia element. The heater is controlled
by the ECM. When the intake air volume is low t(the temperature of the exhaust has is low) current flows to
the heater to heat the sensor for accurate oxygen concentration detection.)

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DETECTION DRIVING PATTERN
Purpose of the driving pattern.
(a) To simulate diagnostic trouble code detecting condition after diagnostic trouble code is recorded.
(b) To check that the malfunction is corrected when the repair is completed confirming that diagnostic
trouble code is no longer detected.
Malfunction: (Main heated() Oxygen Sensor Detection
(Vehicle Speed)
80 km/h (50 mph)
64 km/h (40 mph)
It is vital that this test routine is adhered to detect the malfunction:
(1) Disconnect the EFI No.1 fuse (30 A) for 10 sec. or more, with IG switch OFF. Initiate test
mode (Connect terminal TE2 and E1 of data link connector 2 with IG switch OFF).
(2) Start the engine and warm up with all ACC switched OFF.
(3) Idle the engine for 3 min.
(4) Accelerate gradually within the range 1,300 ~ 1,700 rpm (dentered around 1,500 rpm) with
the A/C switched ON and D position for A/T (5th for M/T).
HINT: Ensure engine rpm does NOT fall below 1200 rpm.
Gradually depress the accelerator pedal at a suitable rate to comply with the test
requirements on the above graph.
Never allow engine rpm to drop at any time during the test.
(5) Maintain the vehicle speed at 64 Ð 80 km/h (40 Ð 50 mph).
(6) Keep the vehicle running for Ð 2 min. after starting acceleration.
HINT: If a malfunction exists, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp will light up after approx. 60 sec.
from the start of acceleration.
NOTICE: If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of the malfunction
will not be possible.
