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).

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 ap-
ply vacuum to the throttle opener (See page
EG±292)).
((For checking terminal A/C, start the engine.)
(4) connect  terminals TE1 and E1 of DLC2.
Check if code ª51º is output by the malfunction indi-
cator lamp.
*: Before the STA signal is input (ST is not ON), diag±
nostic trouble code 43 is also output.
Diagnostic trouble code 42 is output with vehicle speed
5 km/h (3 mph) or below.
Check output condition of diagnostic trouble code 51.

ECM Power Source Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch is turned on, battery volt-
age is applied to the terminal IGSW of the ECM,
and the main relay control circuit in the ECM sends
a signal to the terminal M±REL of the ECM, switch-
ing on the main relay. This signal causes current to
flow to the coil, closing the contacts of the main
relay and supplying power to the terminal + B of the
ECM.
If the ignition switch is turned off, the ECM contin-
ues to switch on the main relay for a maximum of
2 seconds for the initial setting of the IAC valve. EG±576

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The IAC valve is situated on the intake air chamber In-
take air bypassing the throttle valve is directed to the
IAC valve through a passage.
A step motor is built into the IAC valve. It consists of 4
coils, a magnetic rotor, valve shaft and a valve.
When the current flows to the coils due to signals from
the ECM, the rotor turns and moves the valve shaft for-
ward or backward, changing the clearance between
the valve and the valve seat.
In this way the intake air volume bypassing the throttle
valve is regulated, controlling the engine speed.
There are 125 possible positions to which the valve can
be opened.
With the engine idling measure wave forms
between terminals ISC1, ISC2, ISC3,
ISC4 and E01 of engine control module
when A/C switch ON or OFF.
HINT:
The correct waveforms are as shown.
