Diag. Code 71
EGR System Malfunction (Only for
USA spec.)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
If even one of the following conditions is ful-
filled, the VSV is turned ON by a signal from
the ECU. This results in atmospheric air act-
ing on the EGR valve, closing the EGR valve
and shutting off the exhaust gas (EGR cut±
OFF).

w
Engine speed over 5,200 rpm. The EGR system is designed to recirculate the exhaust gas properly controll\
ed according to the driv-
ing condition back into the intake air±fuel mixture. It helps to slow dow\
n combustion in the cylinder
and thus lower the combustion temperature which, in turn, reduces the amoun\
t of NOx emission. The
amount of EGR is regulated by the EGR vacuum modulator according to the engine\
load.

Diag. Code 71
EGR System Malfunction (Only for USA
spec.)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The EGR system recirculates exhaust gas, which is controlled to the proper quantity to suit the driv\
ing condi-
tions, into the intake air mixture to slow down combustion, reduce the combust\
ion temperature and reduce NOx
emissions.
The lift amount of the EGR valve is controlled by a step motor operated \
by the ECU. The ECU operates the motor
only a preprogrammed amount in response to the engine operating conditions (\
engine rpm, intake air volume
to adjust the EGR volume to the target valve.)
Under the following conditions, EGR is cut to maintain driveability.
wCoolant temp. below 535C (127.45F)
w During deceleration (throttle valve
closed)
w Light engine load (amount of intake air
very small)

Diag. Code 78Fuel Pump Control Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The fuel pump speed is controlled at two steps (high speed, low speed) by\
the condition of the engine (starting, light load,
heavy load), when the engine starts (STA ON), the engine (& ECT) ECU sends a Hi signal to the fuel pump ECU \
(FPC termi-
nal).
The fuel pump ECU then outputs Hi voltage (battery voltage) to the fue\
l pump so that the fuel pump operates at high speed.
After the engine starts, during idling or light loads, the engine (& ECT) EC\
U outputs a High Low signal to the fuel pump ECU,
the fuel pump ECU outputs Lo battery voltage (about 9V) to the fuel pu\
mp and causes the fuel pump to operate at low speed.
If the intake air volume increases (high engine load), the engine (& EC\
T) ECU sends a Hi signal to the fuel pump ECU and
causes the fuel pump to operate at high speed.

The ECU uses the signals from the neutral start switch to determine whether\
the transmission is in park or neu-

r or not the air conditioner is operat-

Neutral Start Switch Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The neutral start switch goes on when the shift lever is in the N or P shif\
t position. When it goes on the terminal
NSW of the ECU is grounded to body ground via the starter relay and theft deterrent ECU\
, thus the terminal
NSW voltage becomes 0V. When the shift lever is in the D, 2, L or R position, the neutral start\
switch goes off,
so the voltage of ECU terminal NSW becomes battery voltage, the voltage of the ECU internal power source.
If the shift lever is moved from the N range to the D range, this signal\
is used for air±fuel ratio correction and
for idle speed control (estimated control), etc.
When the neutral start switch is off, code º51º is output in the test mode diagnosis. (This is not a\
bnormal.)

HINT: This diagnosis chart is based on premise that the engine is cranked norm\
ally. If the engine is notcranked, proceed to the matrix chart of problem symptoms on page TR±35.

on matrix chart (See page TR±35).
