GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-9
Always be careful not to handle electrical parts (computer,
relay, etc.) in a rough manner or drop them.
PRECAUTIONS FOR CATALYTIC CONVERTER
For vehicles equipped with a catalytic converter, use only un-
leaded gasoline and be careful not to let a large amount of un-
burned gasoline enter the converter or it can be damaged.
–Conduct a spark jump test only when necessary, make it as
short as possible, and do not open the throttle.
–Conduct engine compression checks within the shortest
possible time.
–Avoid situations which can result in engine misfire (e.g.
starting the engine when the fuel tank is nearly empty.).
PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT
SERVICE
When replacing a fuse, make sure to use a fuse of the speci-
fied capacity. Use of a fuse with a larger capacity will cause
a damage to the electrical parts and a fire.
When disconnecting and connecting coupler, make sure to
turn ignition switch OFF, or electronic parts may get dam-
aged.

FUEL PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
CAUTION:
This work must not be done when engine is hot. If done so,
it may cause adverse effect to catalyst.
After making sure that engine is cold, release fuel pressure as fol-
lows.
1) Place transmission gear shift lever in “Neutral” (Shift selector le-
ver to “P” range for A / T model), set parking brake, and block
drive wheels.
2) Remove relay box cover.
3) Disconnect fuel pump relay (1) from relay box (2).
4) Remove fuel filler cap to release fuel vapor pressure in fuel tank
and then reinstall it.
5) Start engine and run it till it stops for lack of fuel. Repeat cranking
engine 2-3 times for about 3 seconds each time to dissipate fuel
pressure in lines. Fuel connections are now safe for servicing.
6) Upon completion of servicing, connect fuel pump relay to relay
box and install relay box cover.
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 2 seconds (to operate fuel pump) and
then turn it OFF.
Repeat this (ON and OFF) 3 or 4 times and apply fuel pressure
to fuel line. (till fuel pressure is felt by hand placed on fuel feed
hose.)
2) In this state, check to see that there are no fuel leakages from
any part of fuel system.

CANIST PURGE DUTY (EVAP CANISTER
PURGE FLOW DUTY, %)
This parameter indicates valve ON (valve open) time
rate within a certain set cycle of EVAP purge solenoid
valve which controls the amount of EVAP purge.
0% means that the purge valve is completely closed
while 100% is a fully open valve.
CLOSED THROTTLE POSITION (ON / OFF)
This parameter will read ON when throttle valve is ful-
ly closed, or OFF when the throttle is not fully closed.
FUEL CUT (ON / OFF)
ON : Fuel being cut (output signal to injector is
stopped)
OFF : Fuel not being cut
RAD FAN
(RADIATOR FAN CONTROL RELAY, ON / OFF)
ON : Command for radiator fan control relay opera-
tion being output.
OFF : Command for relay operation not being out-
put.
ELECTRIC LOAD (ON / OFF)
ON : Headlight, small light, heater fan or rear win-
dow defogger ON signal inputted.
OFF : Above electric loads all turned OFF.
A / C SWITCH (ON / OFF)
ON : Command for A / C operation being output
from ECM (PCM) to A / C amplifier.
OFF : Command for A / C operation not being output.
FUEL TANK LEVEL (%)
This parameter indicates approximate fuel level in the
fuel tank. As the detectable range of the fuel level sen-
sor 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.
PSP SWITCH (ON / OFF)
ON : PSP switch detects P / S operation (high PS
pressure).
OFF : PSP switch not detects P / S operation.
BAROMETRIC PRESS (kPa, inHg)
This parameter represents a measurement of baro-
metric air pressure and is used for altitude correction
of the fuel injection quantity and ISC actuator control.
FUEL PUMP (ON / OFF)
ON is displayed when the ECM (or PCM) activates the
fuel pump via the fuel pump relay switch.
VSS (A / T) (km / h, MPH)
If is computed by using pulse signals from vehicle
(output) speed sensor on automatic transmission.
TRANS RANGE (TRANSMISSION RANGE
SENSOR, P, R, N, D, 2 OR L)
It is indicated transmission range detected by trans-
mission range sensor.
SHIFT SOL 1-CON (SHIFT SOLENOID-1,
ON / OFF)
ON : ON command being output to shift solenoid-1
OFF : ON command not being output.
SHIFT SOL 2-CON (SHIFT SOLENOID-2,
ON / OFF)
ON : ON command being output to shift solenoid-2
OFF : ON command not being output.
SHIFT SOL 1-MON (SHIFT SOLENOID-1,
ON / OFF)
The monitor result of the shift solenoid-1 circuit is dis-
played.
ON : Electricity being passed to shift solenoid-1 or
circuit open.
OFF : Electricity not being passed or circuit short.
SHIFT SOL 2-MON (SHIFT SOLENOID-2,
ON / OFF)
The monitor result of the shift solenoid-2 circuit is dis-
played.
ON : Electricity being passed to shift solenoid-2 or
circuit open.
OFF : Electricity not being passed or circuit short.
THROT POS LEVEL (THROTTLE POSITION
LEVEL FOR 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 di-
vided into 8 levels (zones) from “0” (about idle posi-
tion) to “7” (about full open) and signals are assigned
to each opening level (zone). ECM (PCM) control the
automatic gear change of the automatic transmission
by using these signals according to the signal from
the TP sensor.
GEAR POSITION
This parameter indicates the A / T gear position which
is computed on signals from the Transmission Range
Switch, VSS, TP Sensor, and so forth.
