(b) Take out the front side of the floor carpet.
(c) Remove the two nuts and protector.
(d) Remove the nut, and disconnect the engine & ECT ECU
from the floor panel.
3. INSPECT ENGINE & ECT ECU
A. Install SST (check harness) between engine & ECT ECU and wiring connectors
HINT:
wECU connectors are water±proof and are the bolt type.
w For water±proof type connectors, in order to measure
the voltage of ECU terminals and the resistance of
connected parts, connect a check harness (SST
09990±01000) between the ECU and wiring
connectors, then perform the inspection.
w Avoid inserting a tester probe from the other side of
connector as this noticeably reduces the water±proof
ability.
w Disconnect the ECU connectors by fully loosening the
bolt.
(a) Remove the bolt, and disconnect the two ECU
connectors.
NOTICE:
w Do not pull the wiring harness when disconnecting the
connectors.
w When disconnecting the connector, the ECU's back±up
power source is cut off, so the malfunction codes, etc.
recorded in the ECU memory are cancelled.
w Never insert a tester probe or male terminal used for
inspection purposes into the female terminal of the
vehicle wire harness. Otherwise, the female terminal may
be widened, which can reselt in faulty connection.
(b) Connect SST (check harness) between ECU and wiring
connectors.
SST 09990±01000
HINT: SST (check harness) connector terminals are ar-
ranged the same as those of the ECU. FI±129

Fuel Cut RPM
INSPECTION OF FUEL CUT RPM
1. WARM UP ENGINEAllow the engine to warm up to normal operating
temperature.
2. CONNECT TACHOMETER Connect the test probe of a tachometer to terminal IG of the
check connector.
NOTICE
w Never allow the tachometer terminal to touch ground as
it could result in damage to the igniter and/or ignition
coil.
w As some tachometers are not compatible with this
ignition system, we recommend that you confirm the
compatibility of yours before use.
3. INSPECT FUEL CUT OPERATION
(a) Increase the engine speed to at least 2,500 rpm.
(b) Check for injector operating noise.
(c) Check that when the throttle lever is released, injectoroperation noise stops momentarily and then resumes.
HINT:
w The vehicle should be stopped.
w Measure with the A/C OFF.
Fuel return rpm: 1,400 rpm
4. REMOVE TACHOMETER

± Electronic Control System (Fuel \
Cut RPM)EFI SYSTEM
WhereEverybodyKnowsYourName

The EFI system is composed of three basic sub±systems: Fuel, Air Induction and Elect\
ronic Control
Systems.
FUEL SYSTEM
An electric pump fuel pressure supplies sufficient fuel, under a constant pressure, to the EFI injectors. In
accordance with signals from the ECU (Electronic Control Unit), these \
injectors inject the quantity of fuel most
appropriate for the engine condition into the intake manifold.
AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
The air induction system provides sufficient air for engine operation.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
The 1UZ±FE engine (ECU±formerly EFI computer) with a microcomputer \
centrally controls the EFI, ESA,
ISC and Diagnosis system, etc. The ECU controls the following functions:
1. Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)
The ECU receives signals from various sensors indicating changing engine op\
eration conditions such as:Intake air volume
Intake air temperature
Coolant temperature
Engine rpm
Acceleration/deceleration
Exhaust oxygen content etc.
The signals are utilized by the ECU to determine the injection duration nec\
essary for an optimum air±fuel
ratio.
2. Electronic Spark Advance (ESA) The ECU is programmed with data for optimum ignition timing under any and all opera\
ting conditions. Using
data provided by sensors which monitor various engine functions (rpm, coola\
nt temperature, etc.), the
Electronic Control Unit (ECU) triggers the spark at precisely right instant. (S\
ee IG section)
3. Idle Speed Control (ISC) The ECU is programmed with idle speed data for various engine conditions (\
coolant temperature, air condi-
tioner ON/OFF, etc.).
The air volume flowing through the throttle valve by±pass passage is adj\
usted according to the signal from
each sensor and the idle speed is kept at the set value.
4. Diagnosis Function When the ECU detects any malfunctions or abnormalities in the sensor network\
, it lights the ºCHECKº en-
gine warning light in the combination meter. At the same time, the trouble is identified and a diagnostic code
is recorded by the ECU. The diagnostic code can be read by the number of\
blinks of the ºCHECKº engine
warning light when terminals TE1 and E1 are connected. The diagnostic co\
des are refer to the later page.
(See TR section)
5. Self±Correction Function If any sensor malfunctions, an average value recorded in the back±up ci\
rcuit is substituted to make driving
possible.
If danger is predicted, the engine is stopped and the ºCHECKº engine\
warning light will light up.
6. Fail±Safe Function Even if an abnormality occurs in the ECU, the back±up circuit uses a specifie\
d fuel injection and ignition
timing to provide vehicle driveability, and also lightsup the ºCHECKº engine warning light.
