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.)
DIAGNOSTIC CHARTDIAGNOSTIC CHART
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.
Check output condition of diag. code 51.
Proceed to next circuit inspection shown
on matrix chart (See page TR±35).
Check for open in harness and connector
between neutral start switch and ECU.

SERVICE HINTS FOR REFRIGERANT LEAK DETECTIONPage 2 of 3
B.Checking for leakage at the evaporator: The evaporator drain hose provides an
excellent access point to check for refrigerant leakage from the evapora\
tor. Be sure
to raise the vehicle on a lift so that the evaporator is as far as possi\
ble from any
petrochemical source that may be on the shop floor. When leak checking in this area,
turn the system off, pinch off the evaporator drain hose, and wait 10 to 15 minutes to
allow the refrigerant to accumulate in the evaporator case. When the s\
ystem is ready
to check, release the drain hose and hold the leak detector wand about 1\
/4 inch below
the drain opening (see diagram).
NOTE: Do not allow the leak detector tip to come in contact with water from th\
e evaporator.
C. Checking for leakage at front compressor seal:
Front compressor seal leaks are
probably the most difficult leaks to detect accurately. Special diagnostic procedures must be followed
for the best success. Make sure the system is fully charged. Operate the \
system with a pressure gauge
installed and assure that the system has correct system pressures. Shut off the engine. Begin the
leak check by placing the detector probe along the bottom half of the compr\
essor clutch. Move the wand
slowly across the bottom of the compressor clutch. Be careful not to expose t\
he detector wand tip to
any oil residue as this may cause a false leakage reading.

Verify correct system pressure. Move dectector wand slowly across the
bottom half of the compressor clutch.

ABBREVIATIONS
DISCONNECTION AND CONNECTION OF BOLT
TYPE CONNECTORS
For engine and ECT ECU in this vehicle, connectors are used
which require a bolt built into the connector to be screwed down to
securely connect the connector.
1. Disconnect the connectorAfter completely loosening the bolt, the two parts of the
connector can be separated.
NOTICE:
Do not pull the wire harness when disconnecting the
connector.
2. Connect the connector
NOTICE:
Before connecting the connector, always check that the
terminals are not bent or damaged.
(a) Match the guide section of the male connectorcorrectly with the female connector, then press them
together.
(b) Tighten the bolt. Make sure the connectors are completely connected,
by tightening the bolt until there is a clearance of less
than 1 mm (0.04 in.) between the bottom of male
connector and the end of female connector.
