System Description (cont'd)
1 . Atter the engine slarts. the IAC valve opens for a censin time, The amount ot air is increased to raise the idle soeedabout 15O-3OO rom.
2. When the coolant temperature is low, the IAC valve is opened to obtain the proper fast idle speed. The amount ofbypassed air is thus controlled in relation to the engine coolant temperature.

Fast ldle Thermo Valve
DEscliptlon
To prevent erratic running when the engine is warming
up, it is n€cessary to raise the idle speed. The fast idle
thermo valve is controlled by a thermowax plunger, When
the engine is cold. the engine coolant su.rounding the
thermowax contracts the plunger, allowing additional air
to be bypassed into the intake manifold so that the en-
gine idlss taster. When the engine reaches operating tem-
peratur€, the valve closss, reducing the amount of air
bypassing into the manifold.

lntake Air System
Throttle Body
Description
The throttle body is ot the single-barrel side-draft 1ype.
The lower portion of the throttle valve is heated by en-gine coolant from the cylinder head. The idle adjusting
screw which increases/dec.eases bvDass air and the
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control Canister port are
located on the top of the throttle body.

1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,OOO rpm with
no load (A/T in S or E position, M/T in neutral) until
the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
2. Disconnect the vacuum hose (to the EVAP control
canister) from the top of the throttle body; connect
a vacuum, gauge to the throttle body.

3. Allow the engine to idle and check that the gauge
indicates no vacuum.
a li there is vacuum, check the throttle cable (see
page 1 1-'l 18, 119).
Check that vacuum is indicated on the gauge when
the throttle is opened slightly from idle.
a lf the gauge indicates no vacuum, check the throt-
tle body port. lf the throttle body port is clogged.
clean it with carburetor cleaner.
Stop the engine and check that the throttle cable
operates smoothly without binding or sticking.
a lf there are any abnormalities in the above steps,
check for:
- Excessive wear or Dlav in the throttle valve shaft.
Sticky or binding throttle lever at full close po-
srtron.

tle lever at tull close Dosition.

Description
Electronic Control System (cont'd)
. GRADE LOGIC CONTROL SYSTEM
How it works:
The TCM compares actual driving conditions with driving conditions memorized in the TCM. based on the input trom
the vehicle speed sensor, throttle position sensor, engine coolant temperature sensor, brake switch signal and select
lever position signal, to control shifting while a vehicle is ascending or descending a slope. or reducing speed.

e lt ttre @ indicator light displays codes olher than those listed above or stays lit continuously, the TCM is faulty.. Sometimes the Lqd indicator light and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MlL)/Check Engine light may come on simul-taneously. lf so, check the PGM-Fl system according to the numbe. of blinks on the MIL/Check Engine light. thenreset the memory by removing the BACK UP fuse in the unde.-hood fuse/relay box for more than 1O seconds.
