COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONNLEC0227S02EGR Volume Control ValveNLEC0227S0201The EGR volume control valve uses a step motor to control the flow
rate of EGR from exhaust manifold. This motor has four winding
phases. It operates according to the output pulse signal of the
ECM. Two windings are turned ON and OFF in sequence. Each
time an ON pulse is issued, the valve opens or closes, changing
the flow rate. When no change in the flow rate is needed, the ECM
does not issue the pulse signal. A certain voltage signal is issued
so that the valve remains at that particular opening.

DTC Confirmation ProcedureNLEC0229CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
NOTE:
+If ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº has been previously
conducted, always turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least
9 seconds before conducting the next test.
+P0400 will not be displayed at ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº mode
with CONSULT-II even though DTC work support test result is
ªNGº.
TESTING CONDITION:
+Before performing the following procedure, confirm bat-
tery voltage is more than 10V at idle, then stop engine
immediately.
+For best result, perform the test at a temperature of 0ÉC
(32ÉF) or higher.
With CONSULT-II
1) Turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 9 seconds.
2) Turn ignition switch ªONº.
3) Check ªCOOLAN TEMP/Sº in ªDATA MONITORº mode with
CONSULT-II and confirm it is within the range listed below.
COOLAN TEMP/S: Less than 40ÉC (104ÉF)
If the value is out of range, park the vehicle in a cool place and
allow the engine temperature to stabilize. Do not attempt to
lower the engine coolant temperature with a fan or means
other than ambient air. Doing so may produce an inaccurate
diagnostic result.
4) Start engine and let it idle monitoring ªCOOLAN TEMP/Sº
value. When the ªCOOLAN TEMP/Sº value reaches 70ÉC
(158ÉF), immediately go to the next step.
5) Select ªEGR SYSTEM P0400º of ªEGR SYSTEMº in ªDTC
WORK SUPPORTº mode with CONSULT-II.
6) Touch ªSTARTº.
7) Accelerate vehicle to a speed of 40 km/h (25 MPH) once and
then stop vehicle with engine running.
If ªCOMPLETEDº appears on CONSULT-II screen, go to step
9.
If ªCOMPLETEDº does not appear on CONSULT-II screen, go
to the following step.
8) When the following conditions are met, ªTESTINGº will be dis-
played on the CONSULT-II screen. Maintain the conditions
until ªTESTINGº changes to ªCOMPLETEDº. (It will take
approximately 45 seconds or more.)

If ªTESTINGº is not displayed after 5 minutes, retry from
step 2.
9) Make sure that ªOKº is displayed after touching ªSELF-DIAG
RESULTSº. If ªNGº is displayed, refer to ªDiagnostic
Procedureº, EC-316.
With GST
1) Turn ignition switch ªONº.
2) Check engine coolant temperature in MODE 1 with GST.
Engine coolant temperature: Less than 40ÉC (104ÉF)
If the value is out of range, park the vehicle in a cool place and
allow the engine temperature to stabilize. Do not attempt to
lower the engine coolant temperature with a fan or means
other than ambient air. Doing so may produce an inaccurate
diagnostic result.
3) Start engine and let it idle monitoring the value of ªCOOLAN
TEMP/Sº. When the engine coolant temperature reaches 70ÉC
(158ÉF), immediately go to the next step.
4) Maintain the following conditions for at least 1 minute.
Engine speed Above 2,400 rpm
Vehicle speed Above 90 km/h (56 MPH)
Selector lever 4th or 5th
5) Stop vehicle.
6) Turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 9 seconds, then
turn ªONº.
7) Repeat step 2 to 4.
8) Select ªMODE 3º with GST.
9) If DTC is detected, go to ªDIAGNOSTIC PROCEDUREº,
EC-316.
+When using GST, ªDTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDUREº
should be performed twice as much as when using CON-
SULT-II because GST cannot diaplay MODE 7 (1st trip
DTC) concerning this diagnosis. Therefore, using CON-
SULT-II is recommended.

On Board Diagnosis LogicNLEC0240The ECM monitors the switching frequency ratio of heated oxygen
sensors 1 (front) and 2 (rear).
A three way catalyst with high oxygen storage capacity will indicate
a low switching frequency of heated oxygen sensor 2 (rear). As
oxygen storage capacity decreases, the heated oxygen sensor 2
(rear) switching frequency will increase.
When the frequency ratio of heated oxygen sensors 1 (front) and
2 (rear) approaches a specified limit value, the three way catalyst
malfunction is diagnosed.

This system controls flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP canis-
ter. The opening of the vapor by-pass passage in the EVAP canis-
ter purge volume control solenoid valve changes to control the flow
rate. The EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve
repeats ON/OFF operation according to the signal sent from the
ECM. The opening of the valve varies for optimum engine control.
The optimum value stored in the ECM is determined by consider-
ing various engine conditions. When the engine is operating, the
flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP canister is regulated as the
air flow changes.
SEF337U
COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONNLEC0248S02The EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve uses a
ON/OFF duty to control the flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP
canister. The EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve
is moved by ON/OFF pulses from the ECM. The longer the ON
pulse, the greater the amount of fuel vapor that will flow through the
valve.

This system automatically controls engine idle speed to a specified
level. Idle speed is controlled through fine adjustment of the
amount of air which by-passes the throttle valve via IACV-AAC
valve. The IACV-AAC valve changes the opening of the air by-pass
passage to control the amount of auxiliary air. This valve is actu-
ated by a step motor built into the valve, which moves the valve in
the axial direction in steps corresponding to the ECM output sig-
nals. One step of IACV-AAC valve movement causes the respec-
tive opening of the air by-pass passage. (i.e. when the step
advances, the opening is enlarged.) The opening of the valve is
varied to allow for optimum control of the engine idling speed. The
crankshaft position sensor (POS) detects the actual engine speed
and sends a signal to the ECM. The ECM then controls the step
position of the IACV-AAC valve so that engine speed coincides with
the target value memorized in ECM. The target engine speed is the
lowest speed at which the engine can operate steadily. The opti-
mum value stored in the ECM is determined by taking into consid-
eration various engine conditions, such as during warm up,
deceleration, and engine load (air conditioner, power steering, cool-
ing fan operation and electrical load).
