Condition Possible Cause Correction
Bubbles observed in sight
glassInsufficient charge of refrigerant in system Check system for leaks with a leak tester.
No bubbles observed in
sight glassNo charge or proper or too much charge of refrigerant in
systemRefer to the following items.
No temperature differ-
ence between compressor
inlet and outletEmpty or nearly empty system Perform recovery, evacuating and charg-
ing system and then check it for leaks
with a leak tester.
Noticeable temperature
difference between com-
pressor inlet and outletProper or too much charge of refrigerant in system Refer to the following items.
When A/C is turned OFF,
refrigerant in sight glass
clears immediately and
remains clearToo much charge of refrigerant in system Recharge with specified amount of refrig-
erant.
When A/C is turned OFF,
refrigerant in sight glass
once produces bubbles
and then clearsProper charge of refrigerant in system Perform “PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSIS”
in this section.

6-1-28 ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS (H27 ENGINE)
TP SENSOR VOLT (TP Sensor Output Voltage, V)
Throttle Position Sensor reading provides throttle valve opening information in the from of voltage.
O2S B1 S1 (HO2S Bank 1 Sensor 1 Output Voltage, V) / O2S B2 S1 (HO2S Bank 2 Sensor 1 Output
Voltage, V)
It indicates output voltage of HO2S SENSOR 1 installed on exhaust manifold (pre-catalyst).
O2S B1 S2 (HO2S Bank 1 Sensor 2 Output Voltage, V) / O2S B2 S2 (HO2S Bank 2 Sensor 2 Output
Voltage, V)
If indicates output voltage of HO2S SENSOR 2 installed on exhaust pipe (post-catalyst). It is used to detect cat-
alyst deterioration.
FUEL SYSTEM B1 (Fuel System Bank 1 Status) / Fuel System B2 (Fuel System Bank 2 Status)
Air/fuel ratio feedback loop status displayed as one of the followings.
OPEN : Open loop-has not yet satisfied conditions to go closed loop.
CLOSED : Closed loop-using oxygen sensor(s) as feedback for fuel control.
OPEN-DRIVE COND : Open loop due to driving conditions (Power enrichment, etc.).
OPEN SYS FAULT : Open loop due to detected system fault.
CLOSED-ONE O2S : Closed loop, but fault with at least one oxygen sensor may be using single oxygen sensor
for fuel control.
CALC LOAD (Calculated Load Value, %)
Engine load displayed as a percentage of maximum possible load. Value is calculated mathematically using the
formula : actual (current) intake air volume ÷ maximum possible intake air volume x 100%.
TOTAL FUEL TRIM (%)
The value of total fuel trim is obtained by putting values of short term fuel trim and long term fuel trim together.
This value indicates how much correction is necessary to keep the air/fuel mixture stoichiometrical.
CANIST PRG DUTY (EVAP Canister Purge Flow Duty, %)
This parameter indicates valve ON (valve open) time rate within a certain set cycle of EVAP canister purge valve
which controls the amount of EVAP purge.
VEHICLE SPEED (km/h, MPH)
It is computed based on pulse signals from vehicle speed sensor on transfer or transmission.
FUEL CUT (ON/OFF)
ON : Fuel being cut (output signal to injector is stopped).
OFF : Fuel not being cut.
MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure, mmHg, kPa)
This parameter indicates the pressure in the intake manifold absolute pressure.
A/C CONDENSER FAN (ON/OFF)
This parameter indicates the state of the A/C Condenser Fan control signal.
BLOWER FAN (ON/OFF)
This parameter indicates the state of the blower fan motor switch.

8E-4 CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM
Components and functions
Component Function
Cruise control actuator
assembly with control mod-
uleCruise control module:
Executes centralized control by means of a microcomputer over all functions
including setting a constant speed, resuming it, setting coast, limiting minimum
speed and cancelling cruise control.
Cruise control actuator (stepping motor & clutch) :
Actuates accelerator pedal through cruise cable and arm according to a signal
from cruise control module to control vehicle speed.
Cruise main switch This switch has a momentary contact type button to turn the cruise control
system ON and OFF.
SET COAST switch When this switch is rotated (ON) and then released (OFF) while vehicle is run-
ning at a speed 40 km/h (25 mile/h) or higher, vehicle speed at that OFF
moment is stored in memory and it is maintained (constant cruising).
Rotating this switch (ON) continuously during constant cruising keeps slowing
down vehicle speed as long as it is ON. When it is released (OFF), vehicle
speed at that moment is stored in memory and vehicle starts constant cruising.
ACCEL RESUME switch When this switch is rotated (ON) during constant cruising, vehicle speed keeps
increasing as long as it is ON. When it is released (OFF), vehicle speed at that
moment is stored in memory and vehicle starts constant cruising. If vehicle
speed is higher than 40 km/h (25 mile/h) after cruise control is cancelled, turn-
ing this switch ON momentarily will resume the speed at which vehicle was run-
ning before cancellation.
CANCEL switch When this switch is pressed (ON), cruise control (accelerator pedal control) is
cancelled.
Vehicle speed sensor (VSS) The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) is mounted on the transfer or transmission.
The VSS converts vehicle speed into pulse signal and send it to the cruise con-
trol module.
Stop lamp switch The stop lamp switch has 2 contact points. One contact point closes when the
brake pedal is depressed to light the stop lamp and provides a voltage signal to
the cruise control module. This signal, when inputted cancels cruise control
(sets the accelerator pedal free).
The other contact point (brake pedal position switch) opens when the brake
pedal is depressed, to shut off the power to the magnetic clutch in the actuator,
thereby cancelling cruise control (setting the accelerator pedal free).
This switch is installed to cancel cruise control (constant cruising) without fail.
Clutch pedal position switch
(M/T vehicle only)When the clutch pedal is depressed, the clutch pedal position switch closes and
provides a ground signal to cruise control module.
The cruise control module cancels cruise control (accelerator pedal control)
when this signal is inputted.
Transmission range switch
(Park/Neutral position switch)
(A/T vehicle only)When the selector lever is places in either “P” or “N” position, the transmission
range switch closes and provides a ground signal to cruise control module. The
cruise control module cancels cruise control (accelerator pedal control) when
this signal is inputted.
PCM – Throttle opening sig-
nal (4 A/T vehicle only)Throttle opening signal is inputted from PCM.
From this signal, the cruise control module detects the throttle opening and
uses it as one of the factors to output the overdrive and TCC OFF command sig-
nal to PCM.
