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

Check continuity between terminals KNK1, KNK2 of engine control module
connector and body ground.
(1) Connect SST (check harness ªAº).
(See page EG±404)

INSPECTION USING OSCILLOSCOPE
With the engine racing (4,000 rpm) measure wave±
form between terminals KNK1, KNK2 of engine control
module and body ground.
HINT: The correct waveform is as shown.
Spread the time on the horizontal axis, and confirm that
the period of the wave is 123 sec.
(Normal mode vibration frequency of knock sen±
sor: 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 NOx emission. The amount
of EGR is regulated by the EGR vacuum modulator according to the load.
If even one of the following conditions is fulfilled,
the VSV is turned ON by a signal from the ECM.
This results 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).

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 by confirming that diag±
nostic trouble code is no longer detected.

DTC 51 Switch Condition Signal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Park/Neutral Position Switch
The ECM uses the signals from the park/neutral position switch to determine whether the transmission is in park
or neutral, or in some other position.
Air Conditioning Switch Signal
The ECM uses the output from the air conditioning switch to determine whether or not the air conditioning is
operating so that it can increase the idling speed of the engine if necessary.
Throttle Position Sensor IDL Signal
The IDL contacts are mounted in the throttle position sensor, and detects the idle condition.

Check output condition of diagnostic trouble code 51.
*: Before the STA signal is input (ST is not ON),
diagnostic trouble code 43 is also output.
Diagnostic trouble code 42 is output with vehicle
speed 5 km/h (3 mph) or below.
Setting the test mode.
(1) Turn ignition switch OFF.
(2) Connect terminals TE2 and E1 of DLC2.
(3) Turn ignition switch ON.
(For checking terminal IDL, disconnect the
vacuum hose from the throttle body, then apply
vacuum to the throttle opener (See page
EG±219)).
(For checking terminal A/C, start the engine.)
(4) Connect terminals TE1 and E1 of DLC1 or
DLC2.
Check if code ª51º is output by the malfunction indi-
cator lamp.
Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on matrix
chart (See page EG±408).
