2. Turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 10 seconds.
3. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
4. Check that all items listed under the topic ªPRE-CONDITION-
INGº (previously mentioned) are in good order.
5. Turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 9 seconds.
6. Start the engine and let it idle for at least 28 seconds.
7. Disconnect throttle position sensor harness connector (brown),
then reconnect it within 5 seconds.
8. Wait 20 seconds.
9. Make sure that idle speed is within specifications. If not, the
result will be incomplete. In this case, find the cause of the
problem by referring to the NOTE below.
10. Rev up the engine two or three times. Make sure that idle
speed and ignition timing are within specifications.
ITEM SPECIFICATION
Idle speed M/T: 700±50 rpm
A/T: 800±50 rpm (in ªPº or ªNº position)
Ignition timing M/T: 8±5É BTDC
A/T: 10±5É BTDC (in ªPº or ªNº position)
NOTE:
If idle air volume learning cannot be performed successfully,
proceed as follows:
1)Check that throttle valve is fully closed.
2)Check PCV valve operation.
3)Check that downstream of throttle valve is free from air
leakage.
4)Adjust closed throttle position switch and reset memory.
(Refer to Basic Inspection, EC-100.)
5)When the above three items check out OK, engine com-
ponent parts and their installation condition are question-
able. Check and eliminate the cause of the problem.
It is useful to perform ªTROUBLE DIAGNOSIS Ð SPECIFI-
CATION VALVEº, EC-173.
6)If any of the following conditions occur after the engine
has started, eliminate the cause of the problem and per-
form ªIdle air volume learningº all over again:
+Engine stalls.
+Erroneous idle.
+Blown fuses related to the IACV-AAC valve system.

Combination Meter Self-Diagnosis/HatchbackNJEL0447PERFORMING SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODENJEL0447S011. Turn the ignition switch to the ªLOCKº position.
2. Press both reset buttons on the combination meter and keep
them depressed.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ªONº position, while keeping the
reset buttons pressed.
4. Release both reset buttons then self-diagnosis will start. The
sequence (A to L) is activated by press the either reset buttons.
NOTE:
If either reset button is not pressed for 20 seconds at each step or
if the ignition switch is turned OFF, the self-diagnosis mode is
exited.

NATS AUDIO LINKNJEL0381S04DescriptionNJEL0381S0401The link with the NATS IMMU implies that the audio unit can basically only be operated if connected to the
matching NATS IMMU to which the audio unit was initially fitted on the production line.
Since radio operation is impossible after the link with the NATS is disrupted theft of the audio unit is basically
useless since special equipment is required to reset the audio unit.
Initialization process for audio units that are linked to the NATS IMMU
New audio units will be delivered to the factories in the ªNEWº state, i.e. ready to be linked with the vehicle's
NATS. When the audio unit in ªNEWº state is first switched on at the factory, it will start up communication
with the vehicle's immobiliser control unit (IMMU) and send a code (the ªaudio unit Codeº) to the IMMU. The
IMMU will then store this code, which is unique to each audio unit, in its (permanent) memory.
Upon receipt of the code by the IMMU, the NATS will confirm correct receipt of the audio unit code to the audio
unit. Hereafter, the audio unit will operate as normal.
During the initialisation process, ªNEWº is displayed on the audio unit display. Normally though, communica-
tion between audio unit and IMMU takes such a short time (300 ms) that the audio unit seems to switch on
directly without showing ªNEWº on its display.
Normal operation
Each time the audio unit is switched on afterwards, the audio unit code will be verified between the audio unit
and the NATS before the audio unit becomes operational. During the code verification process, ªWAITº is
shown on the audio unit display. Again, the communication takes such a short time (300 ms) that the audio
unit seems to switch on directly without showing ªWAITº on its display.
When the radio is locked
In case of a audio unit being linked with the vehicle's NATS (immobilizer system), disconnection of the link
between the audio unit and the IMMU will cause the audio unit to switch into the lock (ªSECUREº) mode in
which the audio unit is fully inoperative. Hence, repair of the audio unit is basically impossible, unless the audio
unit is reset to the ªNEWº state for which special decoding equipment is required.
Clarion has provided their authorized service representatives with so called ªdecoder boxesº which can bring
the audio unit back to the ªNEWº state, enabling the audio unit to be switched on after which repair can be

REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALENJHA0117S07Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC-134a (R-134a) and speci-
fied lubricants have been used with the scale. If the scale controls
refrigerant flow electronically, the hose fitting must be 1/2²-16
ACME.
CALIBRATING ACR4 WEIGHT SCALENJHA0117S09Calibrate the scale every three months.
To calibrate the weight scale on the ACR4:
1. PressShift/ResetandEnterat the same time.
2. Press8787.ªA1º will be displayed.
3. Remove all weight from the scale.
4. Press0, then pressEnter.ª0.00º will be displayed and change
to ªA2º.
5. Place a known weight (dumbbell or similar weight), between
4.5 and 36.3 kg (10 and 80 lb) on the center of the weight
scale.
6. Enter the known weight using four digits. (Example 10 lb =
ª10.00º, 10.5 lb = ª10.50º)
7. PressEnterÐ the display returns to the vacuum mode.
8. PressShift/ResetandEnterat the same time.
9. Press6Ð the known weight on the scale is displayed.
10. Remove the known weight from the scale. ª0.00º will be dis-
played.
11. PressShift/Resetto return the ACR4 to the program mode.
CHARGING CYLINDERNJHA0117S08Using a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be
vented into air from cylinder's top valve when filling the cylinder
with refrigerant. Also, the accuracy of the cylinder is generally less
than that of an electronic scale or of quality recycle/recharge
equipment.
