INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check voltage between terminals VR2 and VR3 of ECU connector.
PREPARATION:
Remove ECU with connectors still connected.
CHECK:
(a) Turn ignition switch ON.
(b) Measure voltage between terminals VR2 and VR3 of
ECU connector while turning control plate slowly by hand
from the deceleration side to the acceleration side.
OK:
Voltage:
Fully closed: approx. 1.3 V
Fully opened: approx. 4.0 V
Note: As the control plate is turned, the voltage
should increase gradually without interruption.
OK Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on
matrix chart (See page DI−336).
