(2) Turn the A/C switch ON and OFF, and check the idle
speed.
Idle speed (Transmission in neutral):
700 ± 50 rpm (A/C OFF)
750 ± 50 rpm (A/C ON)
NOTICE:
Perform inspection under condition without electrical load.
(3) With engine idling, pinch the air assist hose and
check that engine speed drops, and then returns
back up to idle speed.
If operation is not as specified, check the throttle body, wiring
and ECM.
(f) After checking the above (b) to (e), perform the diving test
and check that there is no sense of incongruity.
3. INSPECT THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR
(a) Disconnect the throttle control motor connector.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between ter-
minal 3 (CL±) and 4 (CL+).
Resistance: 4.2 ± 5.2 W at 20°C (68°F)
(c) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between ter-
minal 1 (M+) and 2 (M±).
Resistance: 0.3 ± 100 W at 20°C (68°F)
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the throttle control
motor. (See page SF±37)
(d) Reconnect the throttle control motor connector.
4. INSPECT THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
(a) Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between ter-
minals VC and E2.
Resistance: 1.2 ± 3.2 kW at 20°C (68°F)
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the throttle position
sensor. (See page SF±37)
(c) Reconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
5. INSPECT ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SEN-
SOR
(a) Disconnect the accelerator pedal position sensor con-
nector.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between ter-
minals VC and E2.
Resistance: 1.2 ± 3.2 kW at 20°C (68°F)
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the accelerator ped-
al position sensor. (See page SF±37)

INSPECTION
1. TURN AIR CONDITIONING SWITCH OFF
2. CHECK IDLE±UP
(a) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(b) Fully turn the steering wheel.
(c) Check that the engine rpm decreases when the vacuum
hose of the air control valve is pinched.
(d) Check that the engine rpm increases when the hose is re-
leased.

6. SRS WARNING LIGHT
The SRS warning light is located on the combination meter. It
goes on to alert the driver of trouble in the system when a mal-
function is detected in the airbag sensor assembly. In normal
operation conditions when the ignition switch is turned to the
ACC or ON position, the light goes on for apporx. 6 seconds and
then goes off.
7. AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The airbag sensor assembly is mounted on the floor inside the
lower center finish panel. The airbag sensor assembly consists
of an airbag sensor, safing sensor, diagnosis circuit, ignition
control and drive circuit, etc. It receives signals from the airbag
sensor and judges whether the SRS must be activated or not.
8. FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR
The front airbag sensor is mounted inside each of the front
members. The sensor unit is a mechanical type. When the sen-
sor detects deceleration force above a predetermined limit,
contact is made in the sensor, sending a signal to the airbag
sensor assembly. The sensor cannot be disassembled.
9. SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The side airbag sensor assembly is mounted in the LH and RH
center pillar. The side airbag sensor assembly consists of a side
airbag sensor, safing sensor, diagnosis circuit, ignition control
and drive circuit, etc. It receives signals from the side airbag
sensors and judges whether the SRS side airbag must be acti-
vated or not.
