The valve purges constantly. In summertime, engine may stall at idle speed due
i to rich aidfuel ratio. In wintertime, various malfunctions may occur due to lean
airlfuel ratio.
An open circuit causes no fuel injection to the corresponding cylinder, and the '
heated oxygen sensor output becomes lean. When the open circuits are observed at all cylinders, the engine will not start. In case of instantaneous break, symptoms vary with the break time and the
vehicle's driving conditions. Light shock or surging will occur while the vehicle
is being driven.
The engine will stall when break time is long.
AAC valve is fully closed. Symptoms vary with the base engine speed. When it is
too low, engine may stall while the vehicle is decelerating or when the power
steering load or electrical load is applied.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
System Description
Vehicle with RB20DE and RB25DET engine has TCM integrated into ECM. Vehicle with RB25DE engine has
TCM and ECM separately.
Fail-safe Function @ When malfunction occurs in each sensor and solenoid, the fail-safe functions below enable vehicle to be
driven.
VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR 1 (Output shaft speed sensor)
Inputs a signal from vehicle speed sensor in speedometer. EG
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
Detects throttle opening by idle switch and full switch, and controls line pressure as follows. I 1 I Idle switch

PNP SWITCH
When the multiple PNP switch signals are input to TCM and ECM-TCM, the priority of selector lever position I28
becomes as follows by internal TCM determination.
4AT D, N, R, 2, 1 I%$ M-AT D, N, R, 3, 2

LINE PRESSURE SOLENOID
When a malfunctioning signal of solenoid is input to TCM and ECM-TCM, the line pressure solenoid is turned
OFF, and the line pressure is set to maximum oil pressure.
LOCK-UP SOLENOID
When a malfunctioning signal of solenoid is input to TCM and ECM.TCM, the lock-up solenoid is turned OFF,
and the lock-up
is released.
OVERRUN CLUTCH SOLENOID
When a malfunctioning signal of solenoid is input to TCM and ECM-TCM, the overrun clutch solenoid is turned
OFF, and the overrun clutch is engaged to apply the engine brake during deceleration.
MANUAL MODE SWITCH (M-AT)
When a malfunctioning signal of manual mode switch is input to TCM and ECM.TCM, the gear is controlled
with normal "D" position.
SHIFT CONTROL UNIT (Except RB20DE)
When a malfunction occurs in the shift control unit, the shift solenoid NB are turned OFF, and the gear posi-
tion
is controlled with 3rd speed.
