A/C Cut Control Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This circuit cuts air conditioning operation during vehicle acceleration in order to increase acceleration per-
formance. During acceleration with the vehicle speed at 25 km/h (16 mph) or less, engine speed at 1,200
rpm or less and throttle valve opening angle at 50° or more, the A/C magnet switch is turned OFF for several
seconds.

SCAN TOOL
(a) Remove the fuse cover on the instrument panel.
(b) Connect the TOYOTA hand-held tester or OBDII scan
tool to the DLC3.
(c) Please refer to the TOYOTA hand-held tester or OBDII
scan tool operator's manual for further details.
3. CONNECT TIMING LIGHT
4. INSPECT IGNITION TIMING
(a) Using SST, connect terminals TE1 and E1 of the DLC1.
SST 09843-18020
(b) Using a timing light, check the ignition timing.
Ignition timing:
10° BTDC @ idle
(w/ Cooling fan OFF and transmission in neutral
position)
(c) Remove the SST from the DLC1.
SST 09843-18020
5. FURTHER CHECK IGNITION TIMING

(f) Check that there are no fuel leaks after performing main-
tenance anywhere on the fuel system.
(1) Remove the fuse cover on the instrument panel.
(2) Connect the TOYOTA hand- held tester to the
DLC3.
(3) Turn the ignition switch ON and TOYOTA hand-
held tester main switch ON.
NOTICE:
Do not start the engine.
(4) Select the active test mode on the TOYOTA hand-
held tester.
(5) Please refer to the TOYOTA hand-held tester oper-
ator 's manual for further details.
If you have no TOYOTA hand-held tester, connect the positive
(+) and negative (-) leads from the battery to the fuel pump con-
nector (See page MF-5).
(6) Pinch the fuel return hose.
(7) The pressure in the high pressure line will rise to
approx. 392 kPa (4 kgf/cm
2, 57 psi). In this state.
Check to see that there are no leaks from any part
of the fuel system.
NOTICE:
Always pinch the hose. Avoid bending as it may cause the
hose to crack.
(8) Turn the ignition switch to LOCK.
(9) Disconnct the TOYOTA hand-held tester from the
DLC3.

manual for further details.
If you have no TOYOTA hand-held tester, connect the positive
(+) and negative (-) leads from the battery to the fuel pump con-
nector (See step 6).
(f) Check that there is pressure in the fuel inlet hose from the
fuel filter.
HINT:
If there is fuel pressure, you will hear the sound of fuel flowing.
If there is no pressure, check the fusible link, H-fuse, fuses, EFI
main relay, circuit opening relay, fuel pump, ECM and wiring
connections.
