SEF028Z
Component DescriptionNBEC0398The power steering oil pressure switch is attached to the power
steering high-pressure tube and detects a power steering load.
When a power steering load is detected, it signals the ECM. The
ECM adjusts the IACV-AAC valve to increase the idle speed and
adjust for the increased load.

NBEC0399Specification data are reference values.
MONITOR ITEM CONDITION SPECIFICATION
PW/ST SIGNALIEngine: After warming up, idle
the engineSteering wheel in neutral position
(forward direction)OFF
The steering wheel is fully turned. ON
ECM Terminals and Reference ValueNBEC0687Specification data are reference values and are measured between each terminal and ground.
CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-
age to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.

SEF029Z
DescriptionNBEC0636The refrigerant pressure sensor is installed at the liquid tank of the
air conditioner system. The sensor uses an electrostatic volume
pressure transducer to convert refrigerant pressure to voltage. The
voltage signal is sent to ECM, and ECM controls cooling fan sys-
tem.
