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)
w Engine speed over 4,000 rpm
w Engine idling
w Neutral start switch on

DIAGNOSIS CODE DETECTION DRIVING PATTERN
Purpose of the driving pattern.
(a) To simulate diag. code detecting condition after diag. code is recorded.
(b) To check that the malfunction is corrected when the repair is completed c\
onfirming that diag. code is nolonger detected.

Initiate test mode (See page TR±12).
Start engine and warm up.
After engine is warmed up, let it idle for 3 min.
With the A/C ON and transmission in D range (O/D OFF), drive at 40±\
70 mph for 4 min.
HINT: If a malfunction exists, the ºCHECKº engine warning light will light up at 1±4 min. of driving at 40±70 mph (64±112 km/h).
NOTICE: If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of the\
malfunction will not be possible.

Diag. Code 51Switch Condition Signal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Neutral Start Switch Signal
The ECU uses the signals from the neutral start switch to determine whether\
the transmission is in park or neu-
tral, or in some other gear.
Air Conditioner Switch Signal
The ECU uses the output from the air conditioner switch to determine whethe\
r or not the air conditioner is operat-
ing so that it can increase the idling speed of the engine if necessary.
Throttle Position Sensor IDL Signal
The IDL contacts are mounted in the throttle position sensor, and detects the idle condition.
