Inspection Procedure 30
Intercooler water spray circuit system
Probable cause
DWhen the intercooler water spray switch (manual) turns ON, the intercooler
water spray manual ON signal is input to the engine-ECU. After receiving
this signal, the engine-ECU turns the intercooler water spray relay ON. The
intercooler water spray motor is driven to inject the water for air cooling into
the intercooler and increase the filling performance.
DWhen the intercooler water spray switch (automatic) turns ON, the intercooler
water spray automatic ON signal is input to the engine-ECU. After receiving
this signal, the engine-ECU turns the intercooler water spray relay ON
intermittently during high - load operation. The intercooler water spray motor is
driven to inject the water for air cooling into the intercooler and increase the
filling performance.DIntercooler water spray switch malfunction

NOTE
*1. In a new Vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the air flow sensor output frequency time
is sometimes 10% longer than the standard time.
*2. The injector drive time represents the time when the cranking speed is at 250 r/min or below when
the power supply voltage is 11 V.
*3. In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the injector drive time is sometimes 10%
longer than the standard time.
*4. In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the step of the stepper motor is sometimes
30 steps greater than the standard value.
