CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION (Cont'd)
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 confirming that
diagnostic trouble code is no longer detected.
(1) Disconnect the EFI No.1 fuse (30A) for 10 sec. or more, with IG switch OFF.
Initiate test mode (Connect terminal TE2 and E1 of data link connector 2 with
IG switch OFF).
(2) Start the engine and warm up with all ACC switched OFF.
(3) Drive the vehicle at 80 ~ 88 km/h (50 ~ 55 mph) for 10 min. or more.
(4) Stop at a safe place and idle the engine for 2 min. or less.
(5) Accelerate to 96 km/h (60 mph) with the throttle valve fully open.
HINT: If a malfunction exists, the malfunction indicator lamp will light up during step (5).
NOTICE: If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of the malfunction
will not be possible.
Malfunction: Open or Short in Sub Heated Oxygen Sensor

Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of
sub heated oxygen sensor connector.
Resistance: 11 Ð 16 at 20°C (68°F)
Check for open and short in harness and connector between EFI main
replay and engine control module (See page IN±30).
Check sub heated oxyten sensor heater.
Replace sub heated oxygen sensor.
Repair or replace harness or connector.
Check and replace engine control module.
Check voltage between terminal HT2 of engine control module connector
and body ground.
Replace sub heated oxygen sensor.*
Check and replace engine control module.
Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
Measure voltage between terminal HT2 of engine
control module connector and body ground, when
engine is idling and racing at 3,500 rpm.
*: It is probable the oxygen sensor has deteri±
orated.
Usually, this cannot be confirmed by visual
inspection.

DTC 31 Mass Air Flow Meter Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The mass air flow meter is an air flow meter which uses a platinum hot wire. The hot wire air flow meter
works on the principle that when the electrically heated platinum hot wire is positioned inside the intake
air bypass, the intake air volume can be calculated according to the change in the hot wire temperature.
This change in temperature is measured by the thermistor at the rear of the hot wire. And feedback from
the circuit maintains the hot wire at a set temperature by controlling the current flowing through the hot
wire. This current flow is then measured as the output voltage of the air flow meter. The circuit is
constructed so that the platinum hot wire and the thermistor provide a bridge circuit, with the power transis-
tor controlled so that the potential of (A) or (B) remains equal to maintain the set temperature.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
To control maximum turbocharging pressure the turbocharger system includes a waste gate valve con-
trolled by an actuator. The actuator is controlled by the manifold pressure which is duty controlled by the
VSV based on signals from the ECM.
If the ECM detects the below diagnosis conditions, it operates the fail safe function in which the ECM
stops fuel injection.
