Fuel Cut-off Control
. During deceleration with the throttle valve closed, current to the fuel injectors iscutoffto improvefuel economyat
speeds over 970 rpm ('97 - 98 models), 920 rpm ('99 - 00 modelsl.
. Fuel cut-off action also takes place when engine speed exceeds 6,500 rpm ('97 - 98 models), 6900 rpm ('99 - 00
models), regardless of the position of the throttle valve, to protect the engine from over-rewing.
With Ay'T model. the PCM cuts the fuel at engine speeds over 5,000 rpm when the vehicle is not moving.*'
4,./C Comoressor Clutch Relav
When the ECM/PCM receives a demand for cooling from the air conditioning system, it delays the compressor from
being energized, and enriches the mixture to assure a smooth transition to the Ay'C mode.
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Purge Control Solenoid Valve
When the engine coolant temperature is above 154"F (68'C), the ECM/PCM controls the EVAP purge control solenoid
valve which controls vacuum to the EVAP purge control canister,
Alternator Control
The system controls the voltage generated at the alternator in accordance with the electrical load and driving mode.
which reduces the engine load to improve the fuel economy.
PCM Fail-saf e/Back-up Functions
1. Fail-safe Function
When an abnormality occurs in a signal from a sensor, the ECM/PCM ignores that signal and assumes a pre-pre
grammed value for that sensor that allows the engine to continue to run.
2. Back-up Function
When an abnormality occurs in the ECM/PCM itself, the fuel injectors are controlled by a back-up circuit independent
of the system in order to permit minimal driving.
3. Self-diagnosis Function IMalfunction Indicator Lamp (MlL)l
When an abnormality occurs in a signal from a sensor, the ECM/PCM supplies ground for the MIL and stores the DTC
in erasable memory. When the ignition is initially turned on {ll), the ECM/PCM supplies ground for the MIL for two
seconds to check the MIL bulb condition.
4. Two Trio Detection Method
To prevent false indications, the Two Trip Detection Method is used for the HO2S*1, fuel metering-related. idle control
system, ECT sensor and EVAP control system self-diagnostic functions. When an abnormality occurs, the ECM/PCM
stores it in its memory. When the same abnormality recurs after the ignition switch is turned OFF and ON (ll) again,
the ECM/PCM informs the driver by lighting the MlL. However, to ease troubleshooting, this function is cancelled
when you jump the service check connector, The MIL will then blink immediately when an abnormality occurs.
5. Two (or Three) Driving Cycle Detection Method {'97 model)
A "Driving Cycle" consists of starting the engine, beginning closed loop operation, and stopping the engine. lf misfir-
ing that increases emissions or EVAP control system malfunction is detected during two consecutive driving cycles.
or TWC deterioration is detected during three consecutive driving cycles, the ECM/PCM turns the MIL on. However, to
ease troubleshooting, this function is cancelled when you jump the service check connector. The MIL will then blink
immediately when an abnormality occurs.

Tapered Roller Bearing Preload Adiustment
lf any oJ the items listed below were replaced, the tapered
roller bearing preload must be adjusted.
. Transmission housing
. Clutch housing
. Differential carrier
o Tapered roller bearing and bearing outer race
. Thrust shim
. 75 mm sham
1. Remove the bearing outer race and thrust shim
from the transmission housing (see page 13-40)'
NOTE:
. Do not reuse the thrust shim if the bearing outer
race was driven out.
. Let the transmission cool to room temperature il
the bearing outer race was removed by heating
the clutch housing.
2. Do not use more than one thrust shim to adjust the
tapered bearing preload. First try the same size
thrust shim that was removed. There are no shims
used on the clutch housing side
SHIMTHRUST

After installing the thrust shim, install the bearing
outer race in the transmission housing (see page
13-40).
With the mainshaft and countershaft removed,
install the differential assembly, and torque the
clutch housing and transmission housing.
NOTE: lt is not necessary to use sealing agent be-
tween the housings.

Rotate the differential assembly in both directions
to seat the tapered roller bearings.
Measure the tapered roller bearing preload at nor-

of the differential assembly in both directions with
the special tool and a torque wrench.

Select the proper 78 mm shim from the chan by
using the formula below.
Shim S€lection Formula:
From the measurements you made in steps 4 and 5:-1. Add distance @ (step 5) to distance @ (step 4).
-2. From this number. subtract 0.93 (which is the
midpoint of the flex range of the clutch housing
bearing spring washer).
-3. Take this number and compare it to the avail-
able shim sizes in the chart.
(For example)
A: 2.39 2.61
+ Bi O.22 - 0.93
= 2.61= 1.68
Try the 1.68 mm (0.0661 in) shim.
