PATTERN SELECT SWITCH CIRCUIT
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Multiplex network body ECU receives pattern select switch information, and sends it through the multiplex
communication system to the ECM.
ECT SNOW is the system that operates the throttle motor to control engine output to reduce skidding of the
driving wheels, guarantee takeoff acceleration, driving straightness and turning stability.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
While the engine is running, if a predetermined condition (closed-loop, etc.) is met, the purge VSV is opened
by the ECM and stored fuel vapors in the canister are purged to the intake manifold. The ECM changes the
duty cycle ratio of the purge VSV to control purge flow volume.
The purge flow volume is also determined by the intake manifold pressure.
Atmospheric pressure is allowed
into the canister through the vent valve to ensure that the purge flow is maintained when the negative pres-
sure (vacuum) is applied to the canister.
The following two monitors run to confirm appropriate EVAP system operation.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records the
engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help deter-
mine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean
or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
1 READ VALUE OF HAND-HELD TESTER OR OBD II SCAN TOOL (MAF RATE)
(a) Connect the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool to the DLC3.
(b) Start the engine.
(c) Push the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool main switch ON.
(d) On the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool, enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED
OBD II / DATA LIST / ALL / MAF. Read the values.
Result:
Air Flow Rate (gm/second)Proceed to

271.0 or moreB
MAF rate greater than 1 but less than 270.0 *C
HINT:
*: The value must change when the throttle valve is opened or closed.
