MPI – Troubleshooting13-39
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 28
Power steering fluid pressure switch system
Probable cause
The presence or absence of power steering load is input to the engine-ECU.
The engine-ECU controls the idle speed control (ISC) servo based on this input.
Malfunction of power steering fluid pressure switch

Improper connector contact, open or short-circuited
harness wire

Malfunction of the engine-ECU
Check the power steering fluid pressure switch.NG

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 29
A/C switch and A/C relay system
Probable cause
When an A/C ON signal is input to the engine-ECU, the engine-ECU carries out
control of the idle speed control (ISC) servo, and also operates the A/C compressor
magnetic clutch.
Malfunction of A/C control system

Malfunction of A/C switch

Improper connector contact, open or short-circuited
harness wire

Malfunction of the engine-ECU
Check the A/C compressor relay.

after the throttle valve has opened, the idle position switch and the throttle position sensor need
to be adjusted.

3. Insert the tapered side of the special tool from the pinion
gear side, and compress the seal ring.
IOIL SEAL INSTALLATION
Use the special tool to press the oil seal into the valve housing.
The upper surface of the oil seal should project outwards
approx. 1 mm from the housing edge surface.
Caution
If the oil seal is flush with or lower than the housing
edge, it will cause oil leaks and require reassembly.
JEND PLUG INSTALLATION
1. Apply the specified sealant to the threaded part of the
end plug.
Specified sealant:
3M ATD Part No.8661 or equivalent
2. Secure the threaded portion of the end plug at two places
by using a punch.
KTOTAL PINION TORQUE ADJUSTMENT
1. Position the rack at its centre. Tighten the rack support
cover to 15 Nm.
2. In neutral position, rotate the pinion shaft clockwise one
turn/4 – 6 seconds with the special tool. Return the rack
support cover 30 – 60 and adjust torque to the standard
value.
