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.
DTC No.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT: This diagnostic chart is based on the premise that the engine is being cranked under normal conditions.
If the engine does not crank, proceed to the matrix chart of problem symptoms on page EG±514.
(See page EG±514).
Setting the test mode.
(1) Turn ignition switch OFF.
(2) Connect terminals TE2 and E1 of DLC2.
(3) Turn ignition switch ON.
(Don't start the engine)
(4) Connect terminal TE1 and E1 of DLC2.
Check if code ª43º is output by the malfunction indi-
cator lamp.
Code ª43º is output.
Start the engine.
Check if code ª43º disappears.
Code ª43º is not output.
Check output condition of diagnostic trouble code 43.
Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on
matrix chart (See page Eg±514.)
Check and replace engine control module.
Check for open in harness and connector between engine control module
and starter relay (See page IN±30).
Repair or replace harness or connector.

DTC 52 53 55 Knock Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Knock sensors are fitted one each to the front and rear of the left side of the cylinder block to detect
engine knocking. This sensor contains a piezoelectric element which generates a voltage when it be-
comes deformed, which occurs when the cylinder block vibrates due to knocking. If engine knocking
occurs, ignition timing is retarding to suppress it.

If the ECM detects the above diagnosis conditions, it operates the fail safe function in which the cor-
rective retard angle value is set to the maximum value.
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 by confirming that diagnos±
tic trouble code is no longer detected.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DETECTION DRIVING PATTERN
Malfunction: Open or short in Knock Sensor
(1) Start the engine and warm up.
(2) Idle the engine for 3 min.
(3) With the A/C ON, race the engine quickly to 5,000 rpm 3 times.
(Rapidly depress the accelerator pedal and suddenly release it.)
HINT: If a malfunction exists, the malfunction indicator lamp will light up when sudden racing is
performed.
NOTICE: If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of the malfunction
will not be possible.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT: If diagnostic trouble code 52 is displayed, check No.1 knock sensor (for front side) circuit.
If diagnostic trouble code 55 is displayed, check No.2 knock sensor (for rear side) circuit.
If diagnostic trouble code 53 is displayed, replace engine control module.
(See page EG±510)
(1) Connect SST (check harness ªAº).

(2) Disconnect the engine control module con±
nectors.
Measure resistance between terminals KNK1,
KNK2 of engine control module connector and
body ground.
Resistance: 1 M or higher
Check continuity between terminals KNK1, KNK2 of engine control module
connector and body ground.

With the engine racing (4,000 rpm) measure
waveform between terminals KNK1, KNK2 of
engine cotrol module and body ground.
HINT: The correct waveform is as shown.
Spread the time on the horizontal axis, and con
firm that the period of the wave is 123 sec.
(Normal mode vibration frequency of knock
sensor: 8.1 KHz).
HINT: If normal mode vibration frequency is not 8.1 KHz,
the sensor is malfunctioning.

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).
Engine coolant temp. below 50°C (122°F)

small)
