(b) Adjust the throttle stop screw.
NOTICE:
The throttle stop screw adjusting is very, so adjust it only
when the adjusting is really needed.
(1) Loosen the locknut and loosen the screw until it de-
taches the lever.
(2) Confirm that the throttle vale is fully closed.
(3) After the screw touches the lever, tighten it by 1/4
revolution additionally and tighten the lock nut.
(4) Seal the lock nut with yellow paint.
(5) Check that the throttle position sensor operates
normally.
4. INSPECT THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
(a) Resistance inspection.
(1) Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
(2) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance be-
tween terminals VC and E2.
Resistance: 2.5 to 5.0 k

(3) Check the change of resistance between terminals
VTA and E2.
Change of resistance:
The resistance value increases in proportion to the
throttle lever opening value.

7. INSPECT EFI RELAY
(a) Inspect the relay continuity.
(1) Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity
between terminals 1 and 2.
Specified condition: Continuity
(2) Check that there is no continuity between terminals
3 and 5.
Specified condition: No continuity
(b) Inspect the relay operation.
(1) Apply battery voltage across terminals 1 and 2.
(2) Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity
between terminals 3 and 5.

1.INSPECTMASS AIR FLOW METER
(a)If you have hand±held tester: Inspect for operation
(1)Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(2)Turn the ignition switch ON.
(3)Blow air into the MAF meter, and check that the airflow fluctuates (MAF) of the ºDIAGNOSIS / OBD/
MOBD / DATA LIST / ALLº shown the standard val-
ue.
If operation is not as specified, check the MAF meter (See page
10±20), wiring and ECM.
(b)If you have no hand±held tester: Inspect for operation
(1)Turn the ignition switch ON.
(2)Connect the positive tester probe of the voltmeterto the terminal VG of the ECM. and the negative tes-
ter probe of the voltmeter to the terminal EVG of the
ECM.
(3)Blow air into the MAF meter, and check that the volt- age fluctuates.
If operation is not as specified, check the MAF meter (See page
10±20), wiring and ECM.
2. INSPECT POWER STEERING OIL PRESSURE SEN- SOR
(a) Using a voltmeter, measure the voltage between termi-
nals PSW and E2.

3. INSPECT IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE
NOTICE:

It is impossible to check the resister value and the op-
eration of ISCV by itself, because the ISCV has an IC
circuit inside it, which transforms the duty signal
from the ECM to the derive signal.

After checking, erase the DTC.

Clear the DTC after inspection.
HINT:
When the ISCV system has malfunctions except for its adher-
ence, DTC P0511 is detected.
(a) Operation inspection.
(1) Connect the ISC valve connector to the ISC valve.
(2) Check the ISC valve movement when the ignition
switch is turned ON.
Movement:
Half open fully close  fully open half open
HINT:
ISC valve moves within 0.5 second.

1. INSPECT MASS AIR FLOW METER
(a) Output voltage inspection.
(1) Apply battery voltage across terminals 1 (+B) and 2
(E2G).
(2) Using a voltmeter, connect the positive (+) tester
probe to terminal 3 (VG), and negative (±) tester
probe to terminal 2 (E2G).
(3) Blow air into the MAF meter, and check that the volt-
age fluctuates.
(b) Resistance inspection.
(1) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance be-
tween terminals 4 (THA) and 5 (E2).

minal 1 and negative (±) lead to terminal 2, and
check the movement of the valve.
NOTICE:
Confirm the valve does not adhere.
HINT:
Bad returning of the valve by entrance of foreign objects causes
subtle pressure leak to the advanced direction. Then, DTC can
be detected.
