TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Hint 1 : If the barometric pressure sensor is faulty, poor driveability is caused at high altitude, in particular.
L
Hint 2: If the pressure indication of the barometric pressure sensor drops significantly during high speeddriving, check the air cleaner for clogging.

OPERATIONl The idle position switch senses whether the accelerator pedal is depressed or not, converts it into
high/low voltage and inputs the voltage to the engine control unit, which then controls the idle speed
control servo based on the input signal.
lThe voltage in the engine control unit is applied to the idle position switch through a resistor. When the
accelerator pedal is released, the idle position switch is turned on to conduct the voltage to ground. Thiscauses the idle position switch terminal voltage to go low from high.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
If the idle position switch harness and individual part check results are normal but the idle position switchoutput is abnormal, the following troubles are suspected.
’(1) Poorly adjusted accelerator cable or auto-cruise control cable
(2) Poorly adjusted idle position switch (fixed SAS)

OPERATIONl
The top dead center sensor senses the top dead center on compression stroke of the No. 1, No. 3 and No.
5 cylinders, converts it into a pulse signal and inputs it to the engine control unit, which then computes thefuel injection sequence, etc. based on the input signal.
l
Power to the top dead center sensor is supplied from the control relay and is grounded to the body. The
top dead center sensor generates a pulse signal as it repeatedly connects and disconnects between 5 Vvoltage supplied from the engine control unit and ground.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Hint 1:If the top dead center sensor does not function correctly, correct sequential injection is not made sothat the engine may stall, run irregularly at idle or fail to accelerate normally.
Hint 2: If the sensor outputs a pulse signal when the ignition switch is turned ON (with the engine not
running), a faulty top dead center sensor or engine control unit is suspected.

OPERATIONl
The crank angle sensor senses the crank angle (piston position) of each cylinder, converts it into a pulse
signal and inputs it to the engine control unit, which then computes the engine speed and controls the fuelinjection timing and ignition timing based on the input signal.
lPower to the crank angle sensor is supplied from the control relay and is grounded to the body. The crank
angle sensor generates a pulse signal as it repeatedly connects and disconnects between 5 V voltagesupplied from the engine control unit and ground.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTSHint 1: If unexpected shocks are felt during driving or the engine stalls suddenly during idling, shake the
crank angle sensor harness. If this causes the engine to stall, poor contact of the sensor connector is
suspected.Hint 2: If the crank angle sensor outputs a pulse signal when the ignition switch is turned ON (with the
engine not running), a faulty crank angle sensor or engine control unit is suspected.
Hint 3:
If the tachometer reads 0 rpm when the engine that has failed to start is cranked, faulty crank angleHint 4:sensor or broken timing belt is suspected.
If the tachometer reads 0 rpm when the engine that has failed to start is cranked, the primary current
of the ignition coil is not turned on and off. Therefore, troubles in the ignition circuit and ignition coil orfaulty power transistor is suspected.
Hint 5: If the engine can be run at idle even though the crank angle sensor reading is out of specification,troubles are often in other than the crank angle sensor.
[Examples](1) Faulty engine coolant temperature sensor
(2) Faulty idle speed control servo
(3) Poorly adjusted reference idle speed

lThe ignition switch-ST inputs a high signal to the engine control unit while the engine is cranking. Theengine control unit provides fuel injection control, etc., at engine startup based on this signal.
lWhen the ignition switch is set to START, the battery voltage at cranking is applied through the ignitionswitch to the engine control unit, which detects that the engine is cranking.
