Diag. Code 16ECT Control Signal Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The signal from the ECT CPU retards the ignition timing of the engine durin\
g ECT gear shifting, thus momentarily
reducing torque output of the engine for smooth clutch operation inside the transmission and reduced shift
shock.
If the ECU records the diagnostic code º16º in memory, it prohibits the torque control of the ECT which performs
smooth gear shifting.

Diag. Code 21, 28Main Oxygen Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
To obtain a high purification rate for the CO, HC and NOx components of th\
e exhaust gas, a three±way catalyst
is used, but for most efficient use of the three±way catalyst, the air±fuel ratio must be \
precisely controlled so
that it is always close to the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio.
The oxygen sensor has the characteristic whereby its output voltage changes\
suddenly in the vicinity of the stoi-
chiometric air±fuel ratio. This characteristic is used to detect the oxygen con\
centration in the exhaust gas and
provide feedback to the computer for control of the air±fuel ratio.
When the air±fuel ratio becomes LEAN, the oxygen concentration in the exh\
aust increases and the oxygen sen-
sor informs the ECU of the LEAN condition (small electromotive force: 0 V)\
.
When the air±fuel ratio is RICHER than the stoichiometric air±fuel rat\
io the oxygen concentration in the exhaust
gas is reduced and the oxygen sensor informs the ECU of the RICH condition \
(large electromotive force: 1V).
The ECU judges by the electromotive force from the oxygen sensor whether th\
e air±fuel ratio is RICH or LEAN
and controls the injection time accordingly. However, if malfunction of the oxygen sensor causes output of ab-
normal electromotive force, the ECU is unable to perform accurate air±fuel \
ratio control.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
To obtain a high purification rate for the CO, HC and NOx components of th\
e exhaust gas, a three±way
catalyst is used, but for most efficient use of the three±way catalyst, the air±fuel ratio must be \
precisely
controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air±fuel \
ratio.
The oxygen sensor has the characteristic whereby its output voltage chan\
ges suddenly in the vicinity of
the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio. This characteristic is used to det\
ect the oxygen concentration in the ex-
haust gas and provide feedback to the computer for control of the air±\
fuel ratio.
When the air±fuel ratio becomes LEAN, the oxygen concentration in the exh\
aust increases and the oxygen
sensor informs the ECU of the LEAN condition (small electromotive force: O V)\
.
When the air±fuel ratio is RICHER than the stoichiometric air±fuel\
ratio the oxygen concentration in the
exhaust gas is reduced and the oxygen sensor informs the ECU of the RICH condition (large electromotive
force: 1V).
The ECU judges by the electromotive force from the oxygen sensor whether th\
e air±fuel ratio is RICH or
LEAN and controls the injection time accordingly. However, if malfunction of the oxygen sensor causes
output of abnormal electromotive force, the ECU is unable to perform accurate \
air±fuel ratio control.
The main oxygen sensors include a heater which heats the Zirconia element. The heater is controlled by
the ECU. When the intake air volume is low (the temperature of the exhaust\
gas is low) current flows to
the heater to heat the sensor for accurate oxygen concentration detectio\

ENGINE TROUBLESHOOTING Circuit Inspection
The water temperature sensor senses the coolant
temperature. A thermistor built in the sensor
changes the resistance value according to the cool-
ant temperature. The lower the coolant temperature,
the greater the thermistor resistance value, and the
higher the coolant temperature, the lower the therm-
istor resistance value (See Fig. 1.).
The water temperature sensor is connected to the
ECU (See next page). The 5 V power source voltage
in the ECU is applied to the water temperature sen-
sor from the terminal THW via a resistor R. That is,
the resistor R and the water temperature sensor are
connected in series. When the resistance value of
the water temperature sensor changes in accor-
dance with changes in the coolant temperature, the
potential at the terminal THW also changes. Based
on this signal, the ECU increases the fuel injection
volume to improve driveability during cold engine op-
eration. If the ECU records the diagnostic code 22,
it operates the fail safe function, keeping the coolant
temperature at a constant 80 °C (176 °F).
