ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
1. IDLE POSITION SWITCH AND THROTTLE
POSITION SENSOR (TPS) ADJUSTMENT
The thickness of the feeler gauge inserted between the fixed
SAS and throttle lever should be 0.45 mm.
2. FIXED SAS ADJUSTMENT

Turn down one turn after the fixed SAS has touched the
throttle lever.

Turn down 1-1/4 turns after the fixed SAS has touched the
throttle lever.
3. BASIC IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
The basic idle speed should be 850 ± 50 rpm.
4. FUEL PRESSURE MEASUREMENT
The fuel pressure gauge should be installed at the location
shown on the left.

6. INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
CHECK
1. Disconnect the air flow sensor connector.
2. Measure resistance between terminals 5 and 6.
Standard value:
2.3 – 3.0 kΩ (at 20C)
0.30 – 0.42 kΩ (at 80C)
3. Measure resistance while heating the sensor using a hair
drier.
Normal condition:
Temperature (C)Resistance (kΩ)
HigherSmaller
4. If the value deviates from the standard value or the
resistance remains unchanged, replace the air flow sensor
assembly.
7. ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
SENSOR CHECK
The engine coolant temperature sensor is located as shown
on the left.
Standard value:
2.1 – 2.7 kΩ (at 20C)
0.26 – 0.36 kΩ (at 80C)
8. OXYGEN SENSOR CHECK

The sensor connector is located as shown on the left.

(1) Disconnect the oxygen sensor connector and connect
the special tool (Test Harness: MD998464) to the oxygen
sensor connector.

(2) Check that there is continuity (11 to 18 Ω at 20C) across
terminal no. 1 (special tool red clip) and terminal no. 3
(special tool blue clip) of the oxygen sensor connector.
(3) If there is no continuity, replace the oxygen sensor.
(4) Run the engine until the engine coolant temperature
exceeds 80C.
(5) Using jumper wires, connect oxygen sensor terminal no.
1 (special tool red clip) and terminal no. 3 (special tool
blue clip) to battery (+) and (–) terminal, respectively.
Caution
Make sure of the correct connections: if a wrong
connection is made, a broken oxygen sensor results.
(6) Connect a digital voltmeter between terminal no. 2 (special
tool black clip) and terminal no. 4 (special tool white clip).
(7) Race the engine repeatedly to measure the oxygen sensor
output voltage.
Standard value:
EngineOxygen sensor

When

raced0.6 – 1.0 VWhen engine racing is
repeated to enrich air-fuel
ratio, an operational oxygen
sensor should output a volt-
age of 0.6 to 1.0 V.
NOTE
Use the same procedures to remove and install the oxygen
sensor.

9. INJECTOR CHECK
Injection Condition Check
(1) Release the residual pressure from the fuel pipe line to
prevent fuel from flowing out.
(2) Remove the injector.
(3) Set up the special tools (Injector Test Set, Adapter, Fuel
Pressure Regulator, and Clip) as illustrated below.
(4) From here on, use the same procedure as with the
conventional 4G9 engine for the check.

10. RESISTOR CHECK
(1) Disconnect the resistor connector.
(2) Measure resistance across terminals as detailed below.

11. FUEL PUMP RELAY NO.2 CHECK
(1) Remove fuel pump relay No.2.
(2) Using jumper wires, connect fuel pump relay No.2 terminal
(3) to battery (+) terminal, and terminal (1) to battery
(–) terminal, respectively.
(3) Connecting and disconnecting the jumper wire on the
battery (–) terminal end, check for continuity across
terminal (2) and terminal (5), and across terminal (4) and
terminal (5), of fuel pump relay No.2.

(4) If the continuity is checked abnormally, replace fuel pump
relay No.2.
12. FUEL PUMP RESISTOR CHECK
(1) Disconnect the fuel pump resistor connector.
(2) Measure resistance across the terminals.
Standard value: 0.6 – 0.9 Ω
(3) If the measurement falls outside the specified range,
replace the fuel pump resistor.
