OPERATION
l The intake air temperature sensor functions to
convert the temperature of the air (intaken to the
engine) to voltage, and to input that voltage (as
signals) to the eingine control module. The en-
gine control module, based upon those signals,
then corrects the amount of fuel injection, etc.
lThe 5V power supply within the engine control
module is supplied, by way of the resistance
within the unit, to the intake air temperature
sensor; it passes through the intake air temper-
ature sensor, which is a type of resistor, and is
grounded at the engine control module.
Note that the resistance of the intake air
temperaturesensor decreases when the
temperature of the intake air increases.
* The intake air temperature sensor terminal
voltage becomes higher when the resistance of
the intake air temperature sensor increases, and becomes lower when the resistance decreases.
Consequently, the intake air temperature sensor
terminal voltage varies in accordance with the
temperature of the intake air, becoming lower
when the temperature of the intake air
in-
creases.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Because the intake air temperature sensor detects
the temperature of the intake air in the air cleaner, it
indicates a temperature different than the tempera-
ture of the outside air when the engine is running.

OPERATION
l The barometric-pressure sensor functions to
convert the barometric pressure to voltage, and
to input that voltage (as signals) to the engine
control module.
The engine control module, based upon those
signals, then corrects the amount of fuel injec-
tion, etc.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS Hini 1:
If there is a malfunction of the barometric-pressure
sensor,
driveability of the vehicle will become worse
particularly at high altitude.
lThe 5V power supply within the engine control
module is supplied to the barometric-pressure
sensor; it passes through the circuitry within the
sensor, and is grounded at the engine control
module.
lThe barometric-pressure sensor output voltage is sent to the engine control module in propor-
tion to the barometric pressure (absolute pres-
sure).
Hint 2:
If. during high-speed driving, there is a noticeable
sharp drop of the displayed pressure of the
barometric-pressure sensor, check for clogging of
the air cleaner.

The engine control module, based upon those signals, regulates the amount of fuel injection

Note that the resistance of the engine coolant
temperature sensor decreases when the tem-
perature of the coolant increases.
l The engine coolant temperature sensor terminal
voltage becomes higher when the resistance of
the engine coolant temperature sensor in-

ance decreases. Consequently, the engine

OPERATION
lThe throttle-position sensor functions to convert
the degree of opening of the throttle valve to
voltage, and to input that voltage (as signals) to
the engine control module. The engine control
module, based upon those signals, then regu-
lates the amount of fuel injection, etc.
lThe 5V power supply within the engine control
module is supplied to the throttle-position sen-
sor, after which it passes through the resistance
within the sensor and is grounded at the engine
control module. l When the throttle valve shaft is rotated all the
way from the idling position to the fully open
position, the resistance between the
throttle-
position sensor’s variable-resistance terminal
and the ground terminal also increases in
accordance with that rotation, and, as a result,
the voltage of the throttle-position sensor’s
variable-resistance terminal also becomes high-
er in accordance with that rotation.

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.

addition, if there are any indications that the fixedSAS has been moved, adjust the fixed SAS.
