INSPECTION
1) Connect battery positive (+) cable to terminal “b” and battery
negative (–) cable to terminal “c” as shown.
2) Using ohmmeter, check continuity between terminal “a” and
terminal “b” at specified temperature as shown.
Rear A/C evaporator temperature controller specification :
“A” : Approximately 3.5 °C (38.3 °F)
“B” : Approximately 5.0 °C (41 °F)
INSTALLATION
Reverse removal procedure to install rear A/C evaporator temper-
ature controller noting the following instruction.
When the rear A/C evaporator thermistor (temperature sen-
sor) removed, it should be reinstalled in original position.
Refrigerant Pipes and Hoses
INSPECTION
Use a leak tester to check hoses and pipes for any gas leakage.
Check each hose or pipe clamp for tightness. Retighten or replace loose clamp as required, if any.
REMOVAL
1) Recover refrigerant by using recovery and recycling equipment. Be sure to follow the instruction manual for
the equipment.
The amount of compressor oil removed must be measured and the same amount must be added to the sys-
tem when reinstalling.
2) Replace defective hose or pipe.
INSTALLATION
Reverse removal procedure to install refrigerant line noting the following instruction.
Evacuate and charge system. Refer to “EVACUATING” and “CHARGING” in this section.
CAUTION:
As soon as the above hose or pipe is disconnected, cap its opened fitting to prevent moisture and
dust from entering.
NOTE:
Remove EVAP canister and fuel tank cover, if necessary

Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure
After making sure that engine is cold, relief fuel pressure as fol-
lows.
1) Place transmission gear shift lever in “Neutral” (shift selector
lever to “P” range for A/T vehicle), set parking brake, and
block drive wheels.
2) Remove fuel pump relay (1) from its connector.
3) Remove fuel filler cap to release fuel vapor pressure in fuel
tank and then reinstall it.
4) Start engine and run it till it stops for lack of fuel. Repeat
cranking engine 2 – 3 times of about 3 seconds each time to
dissipate fuel pressure in lines. Fuel connections are now
safe for servicing.
5) Upon completion of servicing, install fuel pump relay to relay
box.
Fuel Leakage Check Procedure
After performing any service on fuel system, check to make sure
that there are no fuel leakages as follows.
1) Turn ON ignition switch for 3 seconds (to operate fuel pump)
and then turn it OFF.
Repeat this (ON and OFF) 3 or 4 times and apply fuel pres-
sure to fuel line (till fuel pressure is felt by hand placed on
fuel return hose).
2) In this state, check to see that there are no fuel leakages
from any part of fuel system. CAUTION:
This work must not be done when engine is hot. If done
so, it may cause adverse effect to catalyst.

EGR VALVE (%)
This parameter indicates opening rate of EGR valve which controls the amount of EGR flow.
A/C SWITCH (ON/OFF)
ON : Command for operation being output from A/C amplifier to compressor.
OFF : Command for operation not being output.
PSP SWITCH (ON/OFF)
ON : PSP switch detects P/S operation. (high P/S pressure)
OFF : PSP switch not detects P/S operation.
PNP SIGNAL (Transmission Range Switch, P/N or D range)
Whether the transmission range switch (P/N position switch) at P or N range or at R, D, 2 or L range is displayed.
If at P or N range, “P/N range” is displayed and if at R, D, 2 or L range, “D range” is displayed.
FUEL TANK LEVEL (%)
This parameter indicates approximate fuel level in the fuel tank. As the detectable range of the fuel level sensor
is set as 0 to 100 %, however, with some models whose fuel tank capacity is smaller, the indicated fuel level may
be only 70 % even when the fuel tank is full.
ELECTRIC LOAD (ON/OFF)
ON : Small light switch ON or rear window defogger switch ON.
OFF : Small light switch OFF and rear window defogger switch OFF.
VSS (4-A/T) (km/h, MPH)
It is computed by using pulse signals from vehicle speed sensor on 4-speed automatic transmission.
THROT POS LEVEL (Throttle Position Level For 4-A/T, “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”,“5”,“6” or “7”)
This parameter indicates which level (zone) the throttle valve opening is in.
The throttle opening is divided into 8 levels (zones) from “0” (about idle position) to “7” (about full open) and sig-
nals are assigned to each opening level (zone). PCM controls the automatic gear change of the automatic trans-
mission by using these signals according to the signal from the TP sensor.
GEAR POSITION (1ST, 2ND, 3RD or 4TH)
The gear position is determined on the basis of the command state signals generated from PCM to shift sole-
noids A and B (#1 and #2) and displayed as shown in the table below.
SHIFT SOL #1 CON/MON (Shift Solenoid #1, A Command/monitor, ON/OFF)
CON-ON : ON command being output to shift solenoid #1, A.
CON-OFF : ON command not being output.

MON-OFF : Electricity not being passed.SHIFT SOLENOID-A SHIFT SOLENOID-B
