NOTE
*: The idle position switch normally turns off when the voltage of the throttle position sensor is 50 –
100 mV higher than the voltage at the idle position. If the throttle position switch turns back on
after the throttle valve has opened, the idle position switch and the throttle position sensor need
to be adjusted.

Code No. 25: Wrong-diameter tireProbable cause
This code is output if the speed of any one of the four wheels exceeds a specified
level with respect to the average of the four wheel speed sensor outputs when the
steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position and the vehicle speed exceeds 20
km/h. At this time, the warning lamp does not light up.

Improperly mounted wheel speed sensorCorrect sensor installation.
Missing or collapsed ABS rotor toothReplace ABS rotor.
Caution
Since the wheel speed sensor cable follows the movement of the front or rear suspension, it
may be open-circuited only when the vehicle is run on rough roads and not on ordinary road.
The wheel speed sensor output voltage waveform should therefore be checked also by rocking
the sensor harness so that driving on rough roads may be simulated.
ACTION WHEN BATTERY RUNS OUT
When the engine is started using a booster cable where the
battery has completely run down and you attempt to start
the vehicle without waiting for the battery to recover a certain
charge, the engine can misfire and you just cannot start to
move it. In such cases, charge the battery sufficiently; or,
remove the AYC fusible link from the engine compartment
relay box to make AYC inactive before attempting to start
the vehicle. When the fusible link is removed, the AYC warning
lamp lights up. After the battery has been recharged, fit the
fusible link back again and start the engine to ensure that
the AYC warning lamp is off.AYC fusible link
