Description
The accelerator switch is installed to the accelerator pedal assem-
bly. The switch senses accelerator position and sends an ON-OFF
signal to the ECM. The ECM uses the signal to control the fuel cut
operation at deceleration for better fuel efficiency.

CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may damage the

IWhen connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from ECM, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or
break).
Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on ECM
pin terminal, when connecting pin connectors.
I Securely connect ECM harness connectors.
A poor connection can cause an extremely high (surge)
voltage to develop in coil and condenser, thus resulting in
damage to IC's.
I Keep engine control system harness at least 10cm (4 in)
away from adjacent harness, to prevent engine control
system malfunctions due to receiving external noise,
degraded operation of IC's, etc.
I Keep engine control system parts and harness dry.
I Before replacing ECM, perform Terminals and Reference
Value inspection and make sure ECM functions properly.
I After performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform
ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº or ªOverall Function
Checkº.
The DTC should not be displayed in the ªDTC Confirmation
Procedureº if the repair is completed. The ªOverall Func-
tion Checkº should be a good result if the repair is com-
pleted.
I When measuring ECM signals with a circuit tester, never
allow the two tester probes to contact.
Accidental contact of probes will cause a short circuit and
damage the ECM power transistor.
I Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/
output voltage. Doing so may result in damage to the
ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals,
such as the ground.
I Do not disconnect supply pump harness connector with
engine running.
I Do not disassemble fuel pump.
If NG, take proper action.
I Do not disassemble fuel injector.
If NG, replace fuel injector.
I Even a slight leak in the air intake system can cause seri-
ous problems.
I Do not shock or jar the crankshaft position sensor and the
camshaft position sensor.

How to Erase DTC (Without CONSULT-II)
1. If the ignition switch stays ªONº after repair work, be sure to turn ignition switch ªOFFº once. Wait at least5 seconds and then turn it ªONº (engine stopped) again.
2. Change the diagnostic test mode from Mode II to Mode I by using the data link connector. (See EC-346.)
The emission related diagnostic information in the ECM can be erased by changing the diagnostic test mode.
I If the battery is disconnected, the emission-related diagnostic information will be lost after approx.
24 hours.
I Erasing the emission-related diagnostic information using CONSULT-II is easier and quicker than
switching the diagnostic test mode using the data link connector.
Malfunction Indicator (MI)
1. The malfunction indicator will light up when the ignition switch
is turned ON without the engine running. This is a bulb check.
I If the malfunction indicator does not light up, refer to EL sec-
tion (ªWARNING LAMPS/WIRING DIAGRAMº) or see MI &
DATA LINK CONNECTORS.
2. When the engine is started, the malfunction indicator should go off.
If the lamp remains on, the on board diagnostic system has
detected an engine system malfunction.
If MI illuminates or flashes irregularly after starting engine,
water may have accumulated in fuel filter. Drain water from
fuel filter.

Component Description
Malfunction Indicator (MI) is located on the instrument panel. When the ignition switch is turned ON without
engine running, MI will light up. This is a bulb check. When the engine is started, MI should go off. If MI remains
on, the on board diagnostic system has detected an engine system malfunction.

DTC Confirmation Procedure
NOTE:
If ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº has been previously
conducted, always turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least
10 seconds before conducting the next test.
WITH CONSULT-II
1. Turn ignition switch ªONº.
2. Select ªDATA MONITORº mode with CONSULT-II.
3. Start engine and let it idle for 2 second.
WITHOUT CONSULT-II
1. Turn ignition switch ªONº.
2. Perform ªDiagnostic Test Mode IIº (Self-diagnostic results).
3. Start engine and let it idle for 2 second.
4. Perform ªDiagnostic Test Mode IIº (Self-diagnostic results).

Removal and Installation
CAUTION:
The accelerator wire should be adjusted when removing and replacing any parts of the accelerator
control system, shown in the illustration.
a. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature. Then stop it.
b. Check to see if throttle valve fully opens when accelerator pedal is fully depressed and if it returnsto idle position when released.
c. Adjust accelerator pedal free play by turning adjusting nut.
d. Check accelerator control parts for improper contact with any adjacent parts.
e. When connecting accelerator wire, be careful not to twist or scratch its inner wire.
f. Apply a light coat of recommended multi-purpose grease to all sliding or friction surfaces. Do not apply grease to wire.
g. For ASCD wire adjustment, refer to ªASCD Wire Adjustmentº in EL section.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
I Check if accelerator pedal moves smoothly within its range.
I Check if accelerator pedal returns securely to its original position.
I Perform ªAccelerator Pedal Released Position Learningº when removing the accelerator pedal position
sensor harness connector. Refer to ªBASIC SERVICE PROCEDUREº in EC section for instructions.

Diagnosis by CONSULT-II
NOTICE
1. The CONSULT-II electrically displays shift timing and lock-up timing (that is, operation timing of eachsolenoid).
Check for time difference between actual shift timing and the CONSULT-II display. If the difference is
noticeable, mechanical parts (except solenoids, sensors, etc.) may be malfunctioning. Check mechanical
parts using applicable diagnostic procedures.
2. Shift schedule (which implies gear position) displayed on CONSULT-II and that indicated in Service Manual may differ slightly. This occurs because of the following reasons:
IActual shift schedule has more or less tolerance or allowance,
I Shift schedule indicated in Service Manual refers to the point where shifts start. Gear position displayed
on CONSULT-II indicates the point where shifts are completed.
3. Shift solenoid valve ªAº or ªBº is displayed on CONSULT-II at the start of shifting. Gear position is displayed upon completion of shifting (which is computed by TCM).
4. Additional CONSULT-II information can be found in the Operation Manual supplied with the CONSULT-II unit.
