EGR SYSTEM CHECKM1173002600348
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose (Green stripe) from
the EGR valve, and then connect a hand vacuum
pump via the three-way terminal.
2. When the engine is hot or cold, check the
condition of vacuum by racing the engine.
When engine is cold
(Engine coolant temperature: 20°C or less)
When engine is hot
(Engine coolant temperature: 80°C or higher)
3. Disconnect the three-way terminal.4. Connect the hand vacuum pump to the EGR
valve nipple.
5. Check whether the engine stalls or the idling is
unstable when a vacuum of 30 kPa or higher is
applied during idling.
EGR VALVE CHECKM1173002800223
1. Remove the EGR valve and inspect for sticking,
carbon deposits, etc. If found, clean with a
suitable solvent so that the valve seats correctly.
2. Connect a hand vacuum pump to the EGR valve.
3. Apply 67 kPa of vacuum, and check that the
vacuum is maintained.
4. Apply a vacuum and check the passage of air by
blowing through one side of the EGR passage. Throttle valve Normal vacuum condition
Open quickly No vacuum will generate (the
same as barometric pressure.)

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 5: Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge does not Work (the other meters
work).
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If only the engine coolant temperature gauge does
not operate, the combination meter, the wiring
harness or its connector may be defective.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
•Malfunction of the engine coolant temperature
gauge unit
•The wiring harness or connectors may have
loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or
terminals pushed back in the connector.
•Malfunction of the combination meter.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
STEP 1. Check the engine coolant temperature
gauge unit.
Check to see that the engine coolant temperature
gauge unit operate normally. Refer to P.54A-61.
Q: Is the engine coolant temperature gauge unit
normal?
YES :
Go to Step 2.
NO : Replace the fuel gauge unit. Then go to step

NOTE:
Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check
intermediate connectors C-13 ,
C-137 , and repair if necessary.Q: Is the wiring harness between combination meter
connector C-06 (terminal 50) and engine coolant
temperature gauge unit connector B-112 (terminal
1) in good condition?
YES :
Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair or replace the damage
component(s).
STEP 4. Retest the system
Q: Is the engine coolant temperature gauge normal?
YES :
The procedure is complete. If no
malfunctions are found in all steps, an
intermittent malfunction is suspected (Refer
to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service
Points-How to Cope with Intermittent
Malfunction P.00-5).
NO : Replace the combination meter.

NOTE: For tachometer check, use an external
high quality inductive tachometer.
2. Compare the readings of the vehicle tachometer
and the external tachometer at every engine
speed, and check if the variations are within the
standard values.
Standard values:
FUEL TANK GAUGE UNIT CHECKM1543001200461
Remove the fuel tank gauge unit. (Refer to GROUP
13C, Fuel Tank P.13C-4.)
FUEL TANK GAUGE UNIT RESISTANCE
1. Check that resistance value between the fuel
gauge terminal and earth terminal is at the
standard value when the fuel tank gauge unit float
is between position "F" (highest) and position "E"
(lowest).
Standard values:
2. Check that resistance value changes smoothly
when the float moves slowly between position "F"
(highest) and position "E" (lowest).
3. If all checks are correct, go to fuel tank gauge unit
float height check. If any check is not correct,
replace the fuel tank gauge unit.
FUEL TANK GAUGE UNIT FLOAT HEIGHT
1. Move the float and measure height A at position
"F" (highest) and B at position "E" (lowest) with
the float arm touching stopper.
Standard values:
2. If all checks are correct, go to fuel tank gauge unit
float height check. If any check is not correct,
replace the fuel tank gauge unit.
