Clutch switch system malfunction
Probable cause
The clutchpedalswitch sends a signal indicating clutchpedal depression to the
engine-ECU. The engine-ECU controls the fuel injection properly according to this
signal, thus prevents the fluctuation of theenginespeed during shift change.DMalfunction of the clutch switch

Power steering fluid pressure switch system
Probable cause
The power steering fluid pressure switch sends a signal to the engine-ECU according
to power steering load.

NOTE
Check if the difference in output between *1 and *2 is 4 V or more.
CHECK CHART FOR RESISTANCE AND CONTINUITY
BETWEEN TERMINALS
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the engine-ECU connector.
3. Measure the resistance and check for continuity between
the terminals of the engine-ECU harness-side connector
while referring to the check chart.
NOTE
(1) When measuring resistance and checking continuity,
a harness for checking contact pin pressure should
be used instead of inserting a test probe.
(2) Checking need not be carried out in the order given
in the chart.
Caution
If the terminals that should be checked are mistaken,
or if connector terminals are not correctly shorted
to earth, damage may be caused to the vehicle wiring,
sensors, engine-ECU and/or ohmmeter.
Be careful to prevent this!
4. If the ohmmeter shows any deviation from the standard
value, check the corresponding sensor, actuator and
related electrical wiring, and then repair or replace.
5. After repair or replacement, recheck with the ohmmeter
to confirm that the repair or replacement has corrected
the problem.
