2. SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION AND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
The diagnostic system in the TOYOTA SUPRA fulfills various functions. The first function is the Diagnostic
Trouble Code Check in which a malfunction in the signal circuits to the ECU is stored in code in the ECU
memory at the time of occurrence, to be output by the technician during troubleshooting. Another function
is the Input Signal Check which checks if the signals from various switches are sent to the ECU correctly.
By using these check functions, the problem areas can be narrowed down quickly and troubleshooting can
be performed effectively. Diagnostic functions are incorporated in the following systems in the TOYOTA SU-
PRA.

In diagnostic trouble code check, it is very important to determine whether the problem indicated by the diag-
nostic trouble code is still occurring or occurred in the past but returned to normal at present. In addition,
it must be checked in the problem symptom check whether the malfunction indicated by the diagnostic
trouble code is directly related to the problem symptom or not. For this reason, the diagnostic trouble codes
should be checked before and after the symptom confirmation to determine the current conditions, as shown
in the table below. If this is not done, it may, depending on the case, result in unnecessary troubleshooting
for normally operating systems, thus making it more difficult to locate the problem, or in repairs not pertinent
to the problem. Therefore, always follow the procedure in correct order and perform the diagnostic trouble
code check.

c. Operation
The hydraulic system of the ABS has 3 or 4 circuits. Although the hydraulic circuit described below has 1 circuit,
it is applicable to other circuits as well.
i) During Normal Braking (ABS not Activated)
During normal braking, the ABS is not activated and
the ECU dose not send control signal.
When the brake pedal is depressed, the fluid passes
from port A to port B, and then flows to the brake
wheel cylinder.
When the brake pedal is released, brake fluid returns
from the brake wheel cylinder to the master cylinder
through port B to port A and No. 1 Check Valve.

ii) During Emergency Braking (ABS Activated)
Pressure Reduction Mode
When the wheel about to lock , the control signal from
the ECU causes port A to close and port D to open,
thus engaging the pressure reduction mode.
At this time the brake fluid flows from the wheel
cylinder, through ports C and D, to the reservoir
reducing the wheel pressure.
At the same time the brake fluid is pumped and
returned to the master cylinder.

NEW FEATURES
EXTERIOR DESIGN
1. Headlights, Turn Signal Light and Front Bumper
Multi±reflector type headlights, which contain a multiple paraboloid reflector, have been adopted for the
high±beam headlights. Accordingly, the lens cut in headlights has been significantly decreased to improve the
appearance.
The shape of the turn signal light lenses has been matched to the curvature of the bumper in order to make them
appear integrated with the bumper. In addition, clear lenses are used, and the parking lights gave been changed from
those enclosed in the headlights to those enclosed in the turn signal lights.
A bar has been added to the air intake opening in the center of the front bumper.
2. Rear Combination Light
The lens cut of the rear combination lights has been changed from the vertical cut to the lateral cut. In addition, the
rear combination lights have adopted multi±reflectors. As a result of these changes a light design has been achieved
to give a sensor for translucency and depth.

SUPRA
OUTLINE NEW FEATURES
The Supra, which represents Toyota's advanced automotive technology, has earned a reputation as a truly luxurious
sports car. The following changes have been made for the 1997 model year.
1. Model Line±Up
The JZA80L±ALPVZA model has been discontinued.
The JZA80L±ALFVZA and JZA80L±AJFVZA models have been added.
2. Exterior Design
The multi±reflector type headlights are adopted.
The design of the turn signal light, front bumper and rear combination light has been changed.
3. Interior Equipment
The front seats have been changed from the separate±headrest type seats of the '96 model to the integrated headrest
type seats without changing their basic design.
4. 2JZ±GTE Engine
An aluminum radiator core is adopted for weight reduction.
5. Differential
A differential gear ratio has been changed on he 2JZ±GE engine model.
A helical gear type torque±sensing LSD is available as an option on the 2JZ±GE engine model and 2JZ±GTE engine
with automatic transmission model.
6. Drive Shaft
An outboard joint of drive shaft has been changed from cross±groove type CVJ (Constant±Velocity Joint) to Rzeppa
type CVJ on the 2JZ±GE engine model.
7. Brakes
A master cylinder diameter has been changed on the 2JZ±GTE engine model.
An ABS has been changed to the 2±position solenoid valve type actuator.
