TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Hint 1:
The signals of the throttle-position sensor are more
important for control of the automatic transaxle than
for control of the engine; shifting “impact shocks”
are produced if there is a malfunction of the
throttle-position sensor.
INSPECTION
Using Scan tool Hint 2:
If the voltage of the throttle-position sensor deviates
from the standard value, check once again after making the throttle-position sensor adjustment.

OPERATION
l
The closed throttle position switch functions to
convert (to HIGH/LOW-level voltage) data as to
whether the accelerator is depressed or re
-
leased, and to input that voltage (as signals) to
the engine control module. The engine control
module, based upon those signals, regulates the
idle air control motor.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
If there is an abnormal condition of the closed throt-
tle position switch switch output even though the results of the checking of the closed throttle posi-
tion switch harness and of the component itself in-
dicate a normal condition, the cause may be pre-
sumed to be one of the following.
lVoltage within the engine control module is ap-
plied, by way of the resistance, to the closed
throttle position switch.
When the foot is taken off the accelerator, the
closed throttle position switch is switched ON,
so the current is grounded.
As a result, the closed throttle .position terminal
voltage changes from HIGH to LOW level.
(1) Improper adjustment of the accelerator cable or
the automatic-cruise-control cable.
(2) Improper adjustment of the closed throttle posi-
tion switch (fixed SAS).

l The camshaft position sensor functions to de-

linder and to convert those data to pulse signals
that are input to the engine control module. The
engine control module, based upon those sig-
nals, calculates the sequence of fuel injection.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
If there is a malfunction of the camshaft position
sensor, the sequential injection will not be correct,
lThe power for the camshaft position sensor is
supplied from the multiport fuel injection relay
and is grounded to the vehicle body. The cam-
shaft position sensor, by intermitting the flow (to
ground) of the 5V voltage applied from the en-
gine control module produces pulse signals.

OPERATION
l
The crankshaft position sensor functions to de-
tect the crank angle (position) of each cylinder,
and to convert those data to pulse signals,
which are then input to the engine control mod-
ule. The engine control module, based upon
those signals, calculates the engine rpm, and
also regulates the fuel injection timing and the
ignition timing.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Hint 1:
If an impact is suddenly felt during driving or the en-
gine suddenly stalls during idling, try shaking the
crankshaft position sensor during idling.
If the engine stalls, the cause may be presumed to
be improper or incomplete contact of the crank-
shaft position sensor’s connector.
Hint 2:
If the crankshaft position sensor output rpm is 0
rpm during cranking when the engine cannot be
started, the cause may be presumed to be a mal-
function of the crankshaft position sensor or a bro-
ken timing belt.
Hint 3:
If the indicated value of the crankshaft position sen-
sor output rpm is 0 rpm during cranking when the
engine cannot be started, the cause may be pre-
INSPECTION
Using Scan tool l
The power for the crankshaft position sensor is
supplied from the ignition switch-IG
and is
grounded to the vehicle body. The crankshaft
position sensor, by intermitting the flow (to
ground) of the 5V voltage applied from the en-
gine control module, produces pulse signals.
sumed to be a failure of the ignition coil’s primary
current to intermittently pulse correctly, so a mal-
function of the ignition system circuitry, the ignition
coil and/or the power transistor is the probable
cause. Hint 4:
If idling is possible even though the crankshaft posi-
tion sensor indicated rpm is a deviation from the
standard value, the cause is usually a malfunction of
something other than the crankshaft position sen-
sor.
Examples:
(1) Malfunction of the coolant-temperature sensor.
(2) Malfunction of the idle air control motor.
(3) Improper adjustment of the standard idling
speed.
