Fuel Pressure Control VSV Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ECU turns on a VSV (Vacuum Switching Valve)
to draw the air into the diaphragm chamber of the
pressure regulator if it detects that the temperature of
the coolant is too high during engine starting.
The air drawn into the chamber increases the fuel
pressure to prevent fuel vapor lock at high engine
temperature in order to help the engine start when it
is warm.
Fuel pressure control ends approx. 100 secs. after
the engine is started.
DIAGNOSTIC CHARTDIAGNOSTIC CHART
Check operation for fuel pressure control
VSV.Replace fuel pressure control VSV.
Repair or replace harness or
connector.
Proceed to next circuit inspection
shown on matrix chart (See page
TR±35).
Check for open and short in harness and
connector between main relay and ECU.
Check voltage of VSV power source.
Check and replace ECU.

TE1, TE2 Terminal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Terminal TE1 is located in the check connector in the engine compartment and terminals T\
E1 and TE2 are lo-
cated in the TDCL in the cabin. When these terminals are connected with \
the E1 terminal, diagnostic codes in
normal mode or test mode can be read from the ºCHECKº engine warning lig\
ht on the combination meter.
DIAGNOSTIC CHARTDIAGNOSTIC CHART
HINT: If terminals TE1 and TE2 are connected with terminal E1, diagnostic code is not output or test mode isnot activated.
Even though terminal TE1 is not connected with terminal E1, the ºCHEC\
Kº engine warning light blinks.
For the above phenomenon, the likely cause is an open or short in the wire \
harness, or malfunction inside
the ECU.
Check continuity between terminal E1 and
body ground.
Repair or replace harness or
connector.Check for open and short in harness and
connector between check connector TDCL
and ECU.

ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED HYDRAULIC COOLING FAN
Description
In this way system, the cooling fan ECU controls the hydraulic pressure ac\
ting on the hydraulic motor, thus
controlling the speed of the cooling fan steplessly in response to the c\
ondition of the engine and air conditioner.
Operation
The hydraulic pump is driven by a drive belt (V±ribbed belt). The sole\
noid valve adjusts the volume of oil
sent from the hydraulic pump to the hydraulic motor which drives the fan dir\
ectly, thereby controlling the fan
speed. Oil which has passed through the hydraulic motor is cooled by the oil coole\
r before returning to the reservoir
tank. The solenoid valve is controlled by the computer in accordance with the E/G\
rpm, water temp. and A/C
signals. CO±22
