DATA LIST REFERENCE TABLE13100890180
Caution
When shifting the select lever to D range, the brakes should be applied so that the vehicle does
not move forward.
NOTE
*1. In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the air flow sensor output frequency is sometimes
10% higher than the standard frequency.
*
2. The idle position switch normally turns off when the voltage of the throttle position sensor is 50 ±
100 mV higher than the voltage at the idle position. If the idle position switch turns back on after
the throttle position sensor voltage has been by 100 mV and the throttle valve has been opened,
the idle position switch and the throttle position sensor need to be adjusted.
*3. The injector drive time represents the time when the cranking speed is at 250 r/min or below when
the power supply voltage is 11 V.
*4. In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the injector drive time is sometimes 10%
longer than the standard time.
*5. In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the step of the stepper motor is sometimes
30 steps greater than the standard value.
