IGNITION SYSTEM
2. Inspect:
• Stator coil resistance
Out of specification→Replace.
CHECKING THE ECU
1. Check:
• All electrical components.
2. Check:
• ECU installation status
Make sure that the ECU is in-
stalled correctly.
• The lean angle sensor is built into
the ECU.
• The lean angle sensor stops the en-
gine in case of a turnover.
• To ensure that the lean angle sen-
sor operates correctly, do not
change the installation position of
the sensor.
3. Check:
•ECU
If no fault is found, replace the
ECU. Tester (+) lead→White lead "1"

CHECKING THE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
1. Remove:
•Coolant temperature sensor
Refer to "REMOVING THE CYL-
INDER HEAD" section in the
CHAPTER 4.
•Handle the coolant temperature
sensor with special care.
•Never subject the coolant tem-
perature sensor to strong
shocks. If the coolant tempera-
ture sensor is dropped, replace
it.
2. Check:
• Coolant temperature sensor re-
sistance
3. Connect:
•Tester
Tester (+) lead → Brown lead "1"
Tester (-) lead → Black/Blue lead
"2"
4. Immerse the coolant temperature
sensor in a container filled with
coolant.
Make sure the coolant temperature
sensor terminals do not get wet.
5. Place a thermometer "3" in the
coolant.
6. Slowly heat the coolant, and then
let it cool to the specified temper-
ature indicated in the table.Out of specification → Replace.
CHECKING THE INTAKE AIR
PRESSURE SENSOR
1. Check:
• Intake air pressure sensor output
voltage
2. Connect:
• Test harness S–pressure sensor
(3P) "1"

(wire harness color)
Tester (-) lead → Black/Blue lead
(wire harness color)
3. Connect the FI diagnostic tool
sub-wire harness to a battery, and
then set the switch on the harness
to "ON".
When checking the intake air pres-
sure sensor, do not start the en-
gine.
4. Measure the intake air pressure
sensor output voltage.

TEMPERATURE SENSOR
1. Remove:
• Intake air temperature sensor
(from the air filter case.)
•Handle the intake air temperature
sensor with special care.
•Never subject the intake air tem-
perature sensor to strong
shocks. If the intake air tempera-
ture sensor is dropped, replace
it.
2. Check:
• Intake air temperature sensor re-
sistance
3. Connect:

CHECKING THE ATMOSPHERIC
PRESSURE SENSOR
1. Check:
• Atmospheric pressure sensor out-
put voltage
2. Connect:
• Test harness S- pressure sensor
(3P) "1"
•Tester
