Trouble DiagnosisEKS00BIG
The majority of the audio troubles are the result of outside causes (bad CD, electromagnetic interference,
etc.). Check the inspection items below to diagnose the malfunction.
MALFUNCTION WITH RADIO AND CD
Before proceeding, confirm that other AV switch functions (except audio functions) operate. If not, refer to AV-
145, "Unable to Operate All of AV Switches (Unable to Start Self-Diagnosis)" .
FOR RADIO ONLY
Symptom Possible cause
Inoperative

Audio unit power circuit check. Refer to AV-30, "Power Supply Circuit
Inspection" .

Audio communication line check. Refer to AV-126, "Audio Communication
Line Check (Between Display Control Unit and Audio Unit)" .

AV switch check. Refer to AV- 3 3 , "AV S w i tc h C h e c k" .
If above check is OK, replace audio unit.
Steering switch does not operate

Steering switch check. Refer to AV-32, "Steering Switch Check" .

AV switch check. Refer to AV- 3 3 , "AV S w i tc h C h e c k" .

Multiport Fuel Injection (MFI) SystemUBS00KZ7
INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL CHART
*1: This sensor is not used to control the engine system. This is used only for the on board diagnosis.
*2: This signal is sent to the ECM through CAN communication line.
*3: ECM determines the start signal status by the signals of engine speed and battery voltage.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The amount of fuel injected from the fuel injector is determined by the ECM. The ECM controls the length of
time the valve remains open (injection pulse duration). The amount of fuel injected is a program value in the
ECM memory. The program value is preset by engine operating conditions. These conditions are determined
by input signals (for engine speed and intake air) from both the crankshaft position sensor and the mass air
flow sensor.
VARIOUS FUEL INJECTION INCREASE/DECREASE COMPENSATION
In addition, the amount of fuel injected is compensated to improve engine performance under various operat-
ing conditions as listed below.
<Fuel increase>

During warm-up

When starting the engine

During acceleration

Hot-engine operation

When selector lever is changed from N to D

High-load, high-speed operation
<Fuel decrease>

Input/Output Signal ChartUBS00KZA
*1: This signal is sent to the ECM through CAN communication line.
*2: ECM determines the start signal status by the signals of engine speed and battery voltage.
System DescriptionUBS00KZB
This system improves engine operation when the air conditioner is used.
Under the following conditions, the air conditioner is turned OFF.

When the accelerator pedal is fully depressed.

When cranking the engine.

At high engine speeds.

When the engine coolant temperature becomes excessively high.

When operating power steering during low engine speed or low vehicle speed.

When engine speed is excessively low.

When refrigerant pressure is excessively low or high.
