INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT: The main throttle position sensor signal is transmitted to the TRAC ECU from ECM, so if an error occurs
at the engine side, the TRAC ECU also detects it.
If diagnostic trouble code No.41 is being output for the engine troubleshoot the engine first.
Remove TRAC ECU with connectors still con-
nected.
Disconnect the vacuum hose from the throttle
opener, and apply the vacuum to the throttle open-
er.
Is diagnostic trouble code output for the engine?
Turn ignition switch ON.
Measure voltage between terminal IDL1 of TRAC ECU
and body ground, when the main throttle valve is fully clo-
sed and fully open.

[2] SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION AND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
The diagnostic system in the TOYOTA SUPRA fulfills various functions. The first function is the Diagnostic
Trouble Code Check in which a malfunction in the signal circuits to the ECU is stored in code in the ECU memory
at the time of occurrence, to be output by the technician during troubleshooting. Another function is the Input
Signal Check which checks if the signals from various switches are sent to the ECU correctly. The air condition-
ing system has an Actuator Check function whereby the ECU automatically operates the actuators of the damp-
er and blowermotor, etc. to check the operation. By using these check functions, the problem areas can be nar-
rowed down quickly and troubleshooting can be performed effectively. Diagnostic functions are incorporated
in the following systems in the TOYOTA SUPRA.

Actuator Check
In diagnostic trouble code check, it is very important to determine whether the problem indicated by the diagnos-
tic trouble code is still occurring or occurred in the past but returned to normal at present. In addition, it must
be checked in the problem symptom check whether the malfunction indicated by the diagnostic trouble code
is directly related to the problem symptom or not. For this reason, the diagnostic trouble codes should be
checked before and after the symptom confirmation to determine the current conditions, as shown in the table
below. If this is not done, it may, depending on the case, result in unnecessary troubleshooting for normally oper-
ating systems, thus making it more difficult to locate the problem, or in repairs not pertinent to the problem.
Therefore, always follow the procedure in correct order and perform the diagnostic trouble code check.

IN±22± INTRODUCTIONHOW TO TROUBLESHOOT ECU CONTROLLED SYSTEMS

There are some maintenance and inspection
items which are considered to be the owner's re-
sponsibility. They can be performed by the owner
or be can have them done at a service shop.
These items include those which should be
checked on a daily basis, those which, in most
cases, do not require (special) tools and those
which are considered to be reasonable for the
owner to perform. Items and procedures for gen-
eral maintenance are as follows:

looseness or for missing nuts. If necessary,
tighten them.
3. WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
Check for wear or cracks whenever they do not
wipe clean. Replace if necessary.

er outlet when operating the heater air condi-
tioner at defroster mode.
12. REAR VIEW MIRROR
Check that it is mounted securely.
13. SUN VISORS
Check that they move freely and are
mounted securely.
14. STEERING WHEEL

alert for changes in steering condition, such
as excessive steering effort, excessive free-
play or strange noise.
15. SEATS
