6E–256 ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
POOR FUEL ECONOMY SYMPTOM
DEFINITIONS: Fuel economy, as measured by an actual road test, is noticeably lower than expected. Also, economy
is noticeably lower than it was on this vehicle at one time, as previously shown by an actual road test.
Step Action Value(s) Yes No
1Was the “On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check”
performed?—Go to Step 2Go to OBD
System Check
2 1. Perform a bulletin search.
2. If a bulletin that addresses the symptom is found,
correct the condition as instructed in the bulletin.
Was a bulletin found that addresses the symptom?—Verify repair Go to Step 3
3 Was a visual/physical check performed?
—Go to Step 4Go to Visual /
physical Check.
4 Check owner’s driving habits.
Is the A/C On full time (defroster mode On)?
Are tires at the correct pressure?
Are ex cessively heavy loads being carried?
Is acceleration too much, too often?—Go to Step 5Go to Step 6
5 Review the items in Step 4 with the customer and
advise as necessary.
Is the action complete?—System OK—
6 Visually/physically check: Vacuum hoses for splits,
kinks, and improper connections and routing as
shown on the “Emission Control System Schematics”.
Was a problem found?—Verify repair Go to Step 7
7 Check for low engine coolant level.
Was a problem found? —Verify repair Go to Step 8
8 Check for incorrect or faulty engine thermostat. Refer
to Engine Cooling.
Was a problem found?—Verify repair Go to Step 9
9 Remove and check the air filter element for dirt or for
restrictions.
Was a problem found?—Verify repair Go to Step 10
10 1. Using a Tech 2, display the MAP sensor value in
comparison with atmosphere temperature.
2. Check for a faulty, plugged, or incorrectly installed
MAP sensor.
Was the problem found?—Verify repair Go to Step 11
11 1. Using a Tech 2, display the ECT sensor and IAT
sensor value and warm up condition compared
with the typical data.
2. Check the specified value or wire.
Was the problem found?—Verify repair Go to Step 12
12 Check the knock sensor wire, shield wire, or
installation condition.
Was a problem found?—Verify repair Go to Step 13
13 Check the fuel pressure. Refer to 6E-108 pageFuel
System Diagnosis.
Was a problem found?—Verify repair Go to Step 14
ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS 6E–265
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT)
SENSOR
Location
Installed to the thermostat housing.
Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Drain enough engine coolant so that the coolant
level will be below the ECT sensor.
3. Disconnect connector from the ECT sensor.
4. Loosen and remove the ECT sensor from the
thermostat housing.
NOTE: Cool down the engine before above procedures
are carried out.
Installation Procedure
1. Apply sealer to threads of screw at the ECT sensor.
2. Tighten the ECT sensor with specified tightening
torque.
Tightening Torque
Bolt: 13N·m (1.3kgf·m)
3. Connect a ECT sensor connector to the ECT
sensor.
4. Fill the engine coolant.
5. Connect the negative battery cable.
NOTE: Verify any DTCs (diagnosis Trouble Code) are
not stored after replacement.
Verify no engine coolant leaking from the sensor
threads after replacement.
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR
Location
Installed to the intake duct housing.
Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect a IAT sensor connector from the IAT
sensor.
3. Remove the IAT sensor from the intake duct.
Installation Procedure
1. Install the IAT sensor into intake air duct.
2. Connect a IAT sensor connector to the IAT sensor.
3. Connect the negative battery cable.
NOTE: Verify any DTCs (diagnosis Trouble Code) are
not stored after replacement.

HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONING 1-87
MAGNETIC CLUTCH
When the A/C switch and the fan control knob (fan switch) are turned on with the engine running, current flows
through the thermostat and the compressor relay to activate the magnetic clutch.
The air conditioning can be stopped by turning off the A/C switch or the fan control knob (fan switch).
However, even when the air conditioning is in operation, the electronic thermostat, the pressure switch or the ECM
is used to stop the air conditioning temporarily by turning off the magnetic clutch in the prearranged conditions to
reduce the engine load which is being caused by the rise in the engine coolant temperature, and the acceleration of
the vehicle, etc.
