7. ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
(a) Before removing SFI wiring connectors, terminals, etc.,
first disconnect the power by either turning the ignition
switch OFF or disconnecting the negative (±) terminal
cable from the battery.
HINT:
Always check the diagnostic trouble code before disconnecting
the negative (±) terminal cable from the battery.
(b) When installing the battery, be especially careful not to in-
correctly connect the positive (+) and negative (±) cable
terminals.
(c) Do not permit parts to receive a severe impact during re-
moval or installation. Handle all SFI parts carefully, espe-
cially the ECM.
(d) Do not be careless during troubleshooting as there are
numerous transistor circuits and even slight terminal con-
tact can further troubles.
(e) Do not open the ECM cover.
(f) When inspecting during rainy weather, take care to pre-
vent entry of water. Also, when washing the engine
compartment, prevent water from getting on the SFI parts
and wiring connectors.
(g) Parts should be replaced as an assembly.
(h) Care is required when pulling out and inserting wiring con-
nectors.
(1) Release the lock and pull out the connector, pulling
on the connectors.
(2) Fully insert the connector and check that it is locked.
(i) When inspecting a connector with a volt/ohmmeter.
(1) Carefully take out the water±proofing rubber if it is
a water±proof type connector.
(2) Insert the test probe into the connector from wiring
side when checking the continuity, amperage or
voltage.
(3) Do not apply unnecessary force to the terminal.
(4) After checking, install the water±proofing rubber on
the connector securely.
(5) Use SST for inspection or test of the injector or its
wiring connector.

8. FUEL SYSTEM
(a) When disconnecting the high pressure fuel line, a large
amount of gasoline will spill out, so observe these proce-
dures:

(2) Start the engine. After the engine has stopped on
its own, turn the ignition switch OFF.
(3) Put a container under the connection.
(4) Slowly loosen the connection.
(5) Disconnect the connection.
(6) Plug the connection with a rubber plug.
(7) Reconnect the fuel pump connector.
(b) When connecting the flare nut or union bolt on the high
pressure pipe union, observe these procedures:
(1) Union Bolt Type:
Always use a new gasket.
(2) Union Bolt Type:
Tighten the union bolt by hand.
(3) Union Bolt Type:
Tighten the union bolt to the specified torque.
Torque: 29 N´m (300 kgf´cm, 22 ft´lbf)
(4) Flare Nut Type:
Apply a light coat of engine oil to the flare and tight-
en the flare nut by hand.
(5) Flare Nut Type:
Using SST, tighten the flare nut to the specified
torque.
SST 09631±22020
NOTICE:
Do not rotate the fuel pipe, when tightening the flare nut.
Torque:
30 N´m (310 kgf´cm, 22 ft´lbf) for using SST
38 N´m (387 kgf´cm, 28 ft´lbf)
HINT:

tated to the right from the specified installation posi-
tion.
(3) Gradually turn sensor counterclockwise until it
touches the throttle valve shaft and temporarily
torque the 2 set screws.
(c) Adjust the throttle position sensor.

scan tool to the DLC3.
(3) Turn the ignition switch ON.
NOTICE:
After turning the ignition switch ON, do not depress the ac-
celerator pedal.
(4) While reading the value of the throttle valve opening
percentage (THROTTLE POS) of the CURRENT
DATA, turn the throttle position sensor slowly to left
and set the sensor at the center value of the stan-
dard value, and then torque the screws.

grease has been already applied to the component to be re-
placed.
(2) Align the protrusions of the motor with the position-
ing pin holes of the throttle body.
(3) Rotate the motor to the direction marked with an ar-
row and temporarily install the set screw ºAº under
