Diagnosis Inspection (Test Mode)
Compared to the normal mode, the test mode has an in-
creased sensing ability to detect malfunctions.
It can also detect malfunctions in the starter signal circuit, the
IDL contact signal of the throttle position sensor, air condi-
tioning signal and park/neutral position switch signal.
Furthermore, the same diagnostic items which are detected
in the normal mode can also be detected in the test mode.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
1. Initial conditions.
(a) Battery voltage 11 V or more
(b) Throttle valve fully closed
(c) Transmission in neutral position
(d) Air conditioning switched OFF
2. Turn ignition switch OFF
3. Using SST, connect terminals TE2 and E1 of the data link
connector 2.
SST 09843±18020
4. Turn ignition switch ON.
HINT:
wTo confirm that the test mode is operating, check that the
malfunction indicator lamp flashes when the ignition
switch is turned to ON.
wIf the malfunction indicator lamp does not flash, proceed
to troubleshooting of the TE2 terminal circuit on page
EG±484.
5. Start the engine.
6. Simulate the conditions of the malfunction described by the
customer.
7. After the road test, using SST, connect terminals TE1 and E1
of the data link connector 2.
SST 09843±18020
8. Read the diagnostic trouble code on malfunction indicator
lamp on the telltale light RH (See page EG±385).
9. After completing the check, disconnect terminals TE1, TE2
and E1, and turn off the display.
HINT:
wThe test mode will not start if terminals TE2 and E1 are
connected after the ignition switch is turned ON.
wWhen the engine is not cranked, diagnostic trouble
codes º43º (Starter signal) output, but this is not
abnormal.
wWhen the automatic transmission shift lever is in the ºDº,
º2º, ºLº or ºRº shift position, or when the air conditioning
is on or when the accelerator pedal is depressed, code
º51º (Switch condition signal) is output, but this is not
abnormal. EG±386

BASIC INSPECTION
In many cases, by carrying out the basic engine check shown in the following flow chart, the location causing
the problem can be found quickly and efficiently. Therefore, use of this check is essential in engine trouble-
shooting.
If there is a problem, and a normal code is displayed, proceed to the matrix chart of problem symptoms on page
EG±408. Make sure that every likely cause of the problem is checked.
EG±408.
Is battery positive voltage 11 V or more when engine is stopped?
Is engine cranked?
Does engine start?
Check air filter.
Charge or replace battery.
Proceed to matrix chart of problem symptoms
on page EG±408.
Repair or replace.
Remove air filter.
Visually check that the air filter is not excessive dirty or
oily.
If necessary, clean the air filter with compressed air. First
blow from inside thoroughly, then blow from outside of
the air filter.

DTC 41 Throttle Position Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The throttle position sensor is mounted in the throttle
body and detects 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 ter-
minal IDL of the ECM becomes 0 V. At this time, a voltage
of approximately 0.7 V is applied to the terminal VTA of
the ECM. When the throttle valve is opened, the IDL con-
tacts go off and thus the power source voltage of approx-
imately 12 V in the ECM is applied to the terminal IDL of
the ECM. The voltage applied to the terminal 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 fully opened. The ECM
judges the vehicles driving conditions from these signals
input from the terminals VTA and IDL, and uses them as
one of the conditions for deciding the air±fuel ratio
correction, power increase correction and fuel±cut con-
trol etc.
