– INTRODUCTIONREPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
(2) After the vehicle is jacked up, be sure to support it
on stands. It is extremely dangerous to do any work
on a vehicle raised on a jack alone, even for a small
job that can be finished quickly.
(l) Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to the
following parts:
(1) Do not open the cover or case of the ECU unless
absolutely necessary. (If the IC terminals are
touched, the IC may be destroyed by static electric-
ity.)
(2) To disconnect vacuum hoses, pull off the end, not
the middle of the hose.
(3) To pull apart electrical connectors, pull on the con-
nector itself, not the wires.
(4) Be careful not to drop electrical components, such
as sensors or relays. If they are dropped on a hard
floor, they should be replaced and not reused.
(5) When steam cleaning an engine, protect the elec-
tronic components, air filter and emission–related
components from water.
(6) Never use an impact wrench to remove or install
temperature switches or temperature sensors.
(7) When checking continuity at the wire connector, in-
sert the tester probe carefully to prevent terminals
from bending.
(8) When using a vacuum gauge, never force the hose
onto a connector that is too large. Use a step–down
adapter for adjustment. Once the hose has been
stretched, it may leak air.
(m) Installation and removal of vacuum hose:
(1) When disconnecting vacuum hoses, use tags to
identify where they should be reconnected to.
(2) After completing a job, double check that the vacu-
um hoses are properly connected. A label under the
hood shows the proper layout.
(n) Unless otherwise stated, all resistance is measured at an
ambient temperature of 20
C (68
F). Because the resis-
tance may be outside specifications if measured at high
temperatures immediately after the vehicle has been run-
ning, measurement should be made when the engine has
cooled down.

2. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A CATALYTIC CONVERTER
CAUTION:
If large amount of unburned gasoline flows into the converter, it may overheat and create a fire haz-
ard. To prevent this, observe the following precautions and explain them to your customer.
(a) Use only unleaded gasoline.
(b) Avoid prolonged idling.
Avoid running the engine at idle speed for more than 20 minutes.
(c) Avoid spark jump test.
(1) Perform spark jump test only when absolutely necessary. Perform this test as rapidly as possible.
(2) While testing, never race the engine.
(d) Avoid prolonged engine compression measurement.
Engine compression tests must be done as rapidly as possible.
(e) Do not run engine when fuel tank is nearly empty.
This may cause the engine to misfire and create an extra load on the converter.
(f) Avoid coasting with ignition turned off and prolonged braking.
(g) Do not dispose of used catalyst along with parts contaminated with gasoline or oil.
3. IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
For vehicles with mobile communication systems such as two–way radios and cellular telephones, observe
the following precautions.
(a) Install the antenna as far as possible away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle’s electronic sys-
tem.
(b) Install the antenna feeder at least 20 cm (7.87 in.) away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle’s
electronic systems. For details about ECU and sensors locations, refer to the section on the applicable
component.
(c) Do not wind the antenna feeder together with the other wiring as much as possible, also avoid running
the antenna feeder parallel with other wire harnesses.
(d) Check that the antenna and feeder are correctly adjusted.
(e) Do not install powerful mobile communications system.
4. FOR USING HAND–HELD TESTER
CAUTION:
Observe the following items for safety reasons:
Before using the hand–held tester, the hand–held tester’s operator manual should be read thor-
oughly.
Be sure to route all cables securely when driving with the hand–held tester connected to the
vehicle. (i.e. Keep cables away from feet, pedals, steering wheel and shift lever.)
Two persons are required when test driving with the hand–held tester, one person to drive the
vehicle and the other person to operate the hand–held tester.

3. SYMPTOM SIMULATION
The most difficult case in troubleshooting is when there are no problem symptoms occurring. In such cases,
a thorough customer problem analysis must be carried out, then simulate the same or similar conditions and
environment in which the problem occurred in the customer’s vehicle. No matter how much experience a
technician has, or how skilled he or she may be, if he or she proceeds to troubleshoot without confirming
the problem symptoms he or she will tend to overlook something important in the repair operation and make
a wrong guess somewhere, which will only lead to a standstill. For example, for a problem which only occurs
when the engine is cold, or for a problem which occurs due to vibration caused by the road during driving,
etc., the problem can never be determined so long as the symptoms are confirmed with the engine hot condi-
tion or the vehicle at a standstill. Since vibration, heat or water penetration (moisture) is likely cause for prob-
lem which is difficult to reproduce, the symptom simulation tests introduced here are effective measures in
that the external causes are applied to the vehicle in a stopped condition.
Important Points in the Symptom Simulation Test:
In the symptom simulation test, the problem symptoms should of course be confirmed, but the problem area
or parts must also be found out. To do this, narrow down the possible problem circuits according to the symp-
toms before starting this test and connect a tester beforehand. After that, carry out the symptom simulation
test, judging whether the circuit being tested is defective or normal and also confirming the problem symp-
toms at the same time. Refer to the problem symptoms table for each system to narrow down the possible
causes of the symptom.

HEAT METHOD: When the problem seems to occur when the suspect area is heated. 2
NOTICE:3 WATER SPRINKLING METHOD:
(1)
(2)
4 OTHER: When a malfunction seems to occur when electrical load is excessive.When the malfunction seems to occur on a rainy day or in a
high–humidity condition. Heat the component that is the likely cause of the malfunction
with a hair dryer or similar object. Check to see if the malfunction
occurs.
Sprinkle water onto the vehicle and check to see if the malfunc-
tion occurs.
Turn on all electrical loads including the heater blower, head
lights, rear window defogger, etc. and check to see if the mal-
function occurs.ON HINT:
If a vehicle is subject to water leakage, the leaked water may
contaminate the ECU. When testing a vehicle with a water leak-
age problem, special caution must be taken.
Malfunc-
tion
Do not heat to more than 60 C (140 F). (Temperature
is limited not to damage the components.)
Do not apply heat directly to parts in the ECU. (1)
(2)
Never sprinkle water directly into the engine compart-
ment, but indirectly change the temperature and hu-
midity by applying water spray onto the radiator front
surface.
Never apply water directly onto the electronic compo-
nents. NOTICE: IN–24
