(1) Remove throttle body. (See page EG±291)
(2) For throttle position sensor, apply vacuum to
throttle opener. (See page
EG±292)
Measure resistance of each terminal as below table
when the throttle valve is opened gradually from the
closed condition.
Check throttle position sensor(s).
Check for open and short in harness and connector between engine control
module and throttle position sensors(s) (See page
IN±30).
Resistance between terminals 2,3 (VTA1,2) and 4,1
(E2) should increase gradually in accordance with
the throttle valve opening angle.
Adjust or replace throttle position sensor(s).

DTC 42 No. 1 Vehicle Speed Sensor Signal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The No.1 vehicle speed sensor outputs a 4±pulse signal for every revolution of the rotor shaft, which
is rotated by the transmission output shaft via the driven gear. After this signal is converted into a more
precise rectangular waveform by the waveform shaping circuit inside the odometer and trip meter, it is
then transmitted to the engine control module. The ECM determines the vehicle speed based on the
frequency of these pulse signals.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
(See page EG±510)
(1) Shift the shift lever to N position.
(2) Jack up one of the rear wheels.
(3) Connect SST (check harness ªAº).
(See page
EG±510)
(4) Disconnect power steering ECU connector
and cruise control ECU connector.
(5) Turn ignition switch ON.
Measure voltage between terminal SP1 of engine
control module connector and body ground when
the wheel is turned slowly.
Voltage is generated intermittently.
Check voltage between terminal SP1 of engine control module connector
and body ground.
Check and replace engine control module.
Repair or replace harness or connector between
ECM and telltale light RH.
Repair or replace harness or connector between
telltale light RH and No.1 vehicle speed sensor.
Replace No.1 vehicle speed sensor.
Check operation of odometer and trip meter (telltale light RH
(See page Be±48)).
Check operation of No.1 vehicle speed sensor (See page BE±46).

DTC 43 Starter Signal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the engine is being cranked, the intake air flow is slow, so fuel vaporization is poor. A rich mixture is there-
fore necessary in order to achieve good startability. While the engine is being cranked, the battery positive volt-
age is applied to terminal STA of the ECM. The starter signal is mainly used to increase the fuel injection volume
for the starting injection control and after±start injection control.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT: This diagnostic chart is based on the premise that the engine is being cranked under normal conditions.
If the engine does not crank, proceed to the matrix chart of problem symptoms on page EG±514.
(See page EG±514).
Setting the test mode.
(1) Turn ignition switch OFF.
(2) Connect terminals TE2 and E1 of DLC2.
(3) Turn ignition switch ON.
(Don't start the engine)
(4) Connect terminal TE1 and E1 of DLC2.
Check if code ª43º is output by the malfunction indi-
cator lamp.
Code ª43º is output.
Start the engine.
Check if code ª43º disappears.
Code ª43º is not output.
Check output condition of diagnostic trouble code 43.
Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on
matrix chart (See page Eg±514.)
Check and replace engine control module.
Check for open in harness and connector between engine control module
and starter relay (See page IN±30).
Repair or replace harness or connector.

DTC 52 53 55 Knock Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Knock sensors are fitted one each to the front and rear of the left side of the cylinder block to detect
engine knocking. This sensor contains a piezoelectric element which generates a voltage when it be-
comes deformed, which occurs when the cylinder block vibrates due to knocking. If engine knocking
occurs, ignition timing is retarding to suppress it.

ECM
If the ECM detects the above diagnosis conditions, it operates the fail safe function in which the cor-
rective retard angle value is set to the maximum value.
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 diagnos±
tic trouble code is no longer detected.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DETECTION DRIVING PATTERN
Malfunction: Open or short in Knock Sensor
(1) Start the engine and warm up.
(2) Idle the engine for 3 min.
(3) With the A/C ON, race the engine quickly to 5,000 rpm 3 times.
(Rapidly depress the accelerator pedal and suddenly release it.)
HINT: If a malfunction exists, the malfunction indicator lamp will light up when sudden racing is
performed.
NOTICE: If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of the malfunction
will not be possible.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT: If diagnostic trouble code 52 is displayed, check No.1 knock sensor (for front side) circuit.
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 EG±510)
(1) Connect SST (check harness ªAº).
