Back±Up Function
If there is trouble with the program in the ECM and the ignition signals (IGT) are not output from
microcomputer the ECM controls fuel injection and ignition timing at predetermined levels as a back±up
function to make it possible to continue to operate the vehicle.
Furthermore, the injection duration is calculated from the starting signal (STA) and the throttle position
signal (IDL). Also, the ignition timing is fixed at the initial ignition timing, 5 BTDC, without relation to
the engine speed.
HINT: If the engine is controlled by the back±up function, the malfunction indicator lamp lights up to
warn the driver of the malfunction but the diagnostic trouble code is not output.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ECM determines the ignition timing, turns on Tr, at a predetermined angle ('*CA) before the
desired ignition timing and outputs an ignition signal (IGT) ª1º to the igniter.
Since the width of the IGT signal is constant, the dwell angle control circuit in the igniter determines
the time the control circuit starts primary current flow to the ignition coil based on the engine rpm and
ignition timing one revolution ago, that is, the time the Tr
2 turns on.
When it reaches the ignition timing, the ECM turns Tr, off and outputs the IGT signal ªOº.
This turns Tr2 off, interrupting the primary current flow and generating a high voltage in the secondary
coil which causes the spark plug to spark. Also, by the counter electromotive force generated when
the primary current is interrupted, the igniter sends an ignition confirmation signal (IGF) to the ECM.
The ECM stops fuel injection as a fail safe function when the lG F signal is not input to the ECM.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Park/Neutral position switch goes on when the shift lever is in the N or P shift position. When
it goes on the terminal NSW of the ECM is grounded to body ground via the starter relay and theft
deterrent ECU, thus the terminal NSW voltage becomes 0V. When the shift lever is in the D, 2, L or
R position, the Park/Neutral position switch goes off, so the voltage of ECM terminal NSW becomes
battery voltage, the voltage of the ECM internal power source. If the shift lever is moved from the N posi-
tion to the D position, this signal is used for air±fuel ratio correction and for idle speed control (estimated
control), etc. When the Park/Neutral position switch is off, code ª51º is output in the test mode diagnosis.
(This is not abnormal.)

WIRELESS DOOR LOCK REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM
A wireless door lock remote control system is available as an option on the LE grade model and is standard
equipment on the XLE grade model. With the wireless door lock remote control system, all the doors can be locked
and unlocked by signals emitted by the transmitter.
A 2±step unlock function is provided. When the unlock switch of the transmitter is pressed once, only the driver's
door is unlocked. When it is pressed twice, all the doors are unlocked.
A panic switch is provided in the transmitter to force the theft system by operating the horn, headlight and taillight.
A wireless door lock ECU with EEPROM (Electrical Erasable Programmable ROM) is used so that the transmitter
recognition code can be easily reprogrammed.
THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM
A theft deterrent system is used to prevent vehicle theft. When the system is set, the horn and headlights operate
if the door, hood or trunk is forcibly opened.
The audio system also has an anti±theft system whereby the radio and cassette deck is disabled if the radio body
is stolen from the vehicle.
