GENERAL
OUTLINE OF CHANGE

The descriptions of the troubleshooting using an MUT-II tester have been added.

The fuel system and its management of EVOLUTION-VI are different from those of EVOLUTION-V
in the following items. Accordingly, the service procedures for these items are described herein. The
service procedures for the remaining item are the same as those for EVOLUTION-V.

Fan motor control

Fuel pump drive control

Fuel pump relay No.2

Fuel pump resistor

Actuator test function of MUT-II (The test of the following items has been made possible.)
a) Item No.36: Secondary air control solenoid valve
b) Item No.37: Air conditioner condenser fan (High)
c) Item No.38: Air conditioner condenser fan (Low)

FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION REFERENCE TABLE
When the main sensor malfunctions are detected by the diagnosis function, the vehicle is controlled
by means of the pre-set control logic to maintain safe conditions for driving.
Malfunctioning itemControl contents during malfunction
Air flow sensor1. Uses the throttle position sensor signal and engine speed signal (crank angle sensor
signal) to take reading of the basic injector drive time and basic ignition timing from
the pre-set mapping.
2. Fixes the ISC servo in the appointed position so idle control is not performed.
Intake air temperature
sensorControls as if the intake air temperature is 25C.
Throttle position
sensorNo increase in fuel injection amount during acceleration due to the throttle position sensor
signal.
Engine coolant
temperature sensor1. Controls as if the engine coolant temperature is 80C.
(This condition is maintained until the ignition switch is turned off even when the
sensor signal returns normal.)
2. Lets the fan motor (radiator and condenser) run at high speed.
Camshaft position
sensorInjects fuel to all cylinders simultaneously for 4 seconds.
(However, after the ignition switch is turned to ON, the No. 1 cylinder top dead centre is not
detected at all.)
Barometric pressure
sensorControls as if the barometric pressure is 101 kPa.
Detonation sensorSwitches the ignition timing from ignition timing for super petrol to ignition timing for standard
petrol.
Ignition coil, power
transistor unitCuts off the fuel supply to cylinders with an abnormal ignition.
Alternator FR terminalDoes not control the output of the alternator according to an electrical load. (works as a
normal alternator)

HEATER AND MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER – On-vehicle Service55-12
Caution
(1) To connect the quick joint, press section “A” firmly
against the service valve until a click is heard.
(2) When connecting, run your hand along the hose
while pressing to ensure that there are no bends
in the hose.
5. Start the engine.
6. Set the blower switch to HI (Fast) position
7. Set the A/C switch to ON position
8. Set the temperature control to Max. cooling position
9. Set the mode selection to Face position
10. Set the air selection to Recirculation position
11. Fix engine speed to 1,500 r/min.
12. Check that the high-pressure side pressure is 1,667 –
1,765 kPa.
NOTE
If the pressure is not within this range, adjust it as follows;
cool down the condenser using a cooling fan if the
pressure is higher, and cover the condenser to protect
it from ventilation air if it is lower.
13. Set a dry-bulb/wet-bulb thermometer at the air inlet, and
set a dry-bulb thermometer at the air outlet.
Caution
(1) Set the dry-bulb thermometer at a position where
the temperature sensing section can be directly
blown with cooled air.
(2) Place the dry-bulb/wet-bulb thermometer at a
position where it is not exposed to cooled air
blown out.
14. After the temperature of the air blown out from the air
outlet has been stabilized (10 – 15 minutes after starting),
read the dry-bulb thermometer set at the air outlet and
the wet-valve thermometer set at the air inlet.
15. The air conditioning system is considered in good
condition if the intersecting point of the measurements
obtained in Step (14) is below the performance evaluation
reference line on the graph.
Caution
Do not remove the quick joint immediately after the
performance test has been completed. Stop the engine
and wait until the high-pressure side pressure of the
gauge manifold has been lowered sufficiently.
