IGNITION MAIN RELAY
INSPECTION OF IGNITION MAIN RELAY
1. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE TERMINAL OFBATTERY
CAUTION: Work must be started after approx. 20 se-
conds or longer from the time the ignition switch is
turned to the ºLOCKº position and the negative (±) termi-
nal cable is disconnected from the battery.
2. REMOVE IGNITION MAIN RELAY LOCATION: In the engine compartment relay box.
3. INSPECT IGNITION MAIN RELAY
A. Inspect relay continuity
(a) Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuitybetween terminals 3 and 6.
(b) Check that there is continuity between terminals 4 and 5.
(c) Check that there is no continuity between terminals 1 and 2.
If continuity is not as specified, replace the relay.
B. Inspect relay operation (a) Apply battery voltage across terminals 3 and 6.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuitybetween terminals 1 and 2.
(c) Apply battery voltage across terminals 4 and 5.
(d) Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between terminals 1 and 2.
If operation is not as specified, replace the relay.
4. REINSTALL IGNITION MAIN RELAY
5. RECONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE TERMINAL OF BATTERY

Diag. Code 43Starter Signal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the engine is cranked, the intake air flow is slow, so fuel vaporization is poor. A rich mixture is therefore
necessary in order to achieve good startability. While the engine is being cranked, the battery voltage is applied
to terminal STA of the ECU. The starter signal is mainly used to increase the fuel inj\
ection volume for the starting
injection control and after±start injection control.
Code No.Diagnostic Code Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
43No starter signal to ECU

DIAGNOSTIC CHARTDIAGNOSTIC CHART
HINT: This diagnostic chart is based on the premise that the engine is cranked nor\
mally. If the engine is not
cranked, proceed to the matrix chart of problem symptoms on page TR±35.
Check for the test mode.
Check for open in harness and connectors
between ECU and relay.
Check and replace ECU. Proceed to next circuit inspection shown
on matrix chart (See page
TR±35).
