to shutdown
Do not operate fuel pump when
there is no fuel in lines Do not use anti-freeze agents in fuel
0 Do not reuse fuel hose clamps
0 Tighten fuel hose clamps sufficiently
Securely connect E C C S harness

A poor connection can cause an ex-
tremely
high (surge) voltage to
develop in coil and condenser, thus
resulting in damage to IC circuit
Keep
E C C S harness at least 10 cm
(3 9 in) away from adjacent
harnesses, to prevent an
E C C S
system malfunction due to reception
of external noise, degraded operation
of
IC circuit. etc
Keep E C C S parts and harnesses
Before removing parts, turn off igni-
tion switch and then disconnect
battery ground cable dry

The fuel temperature sensor is built into the pres-
sure regulator, and senses fuel temperature When
the fuel temperature
IS higher than the specified

DETONATION SENSOR (VG30ET engine only)
The detonation sensor
is attached to the cylinder
block and senses engine knocking conditions
A knocking vibration from the cylinder block is
applied as pressure to the piezoelectric element
This vibrational pressure
IS then converted into a
voltage signal which is delivered as output

FUEL INJECTOR
The
fuel injector is a small, precision solenoid
valve As the
E C C S control unit outputs an in-
lnents (Cont’d)
jection signal to each fuel injector, the coil built
into the injector pulls the needle valve back, and
fuel
is injected through the nozzle to intake mani-
fold The amount of fuel injected
is controlled by
the
E C C S control unit as an injection pulse

POWER TRANSISTOR
The ignition signal from the
E C C S control unit
is amplified by the power transistor, which con-
nects and disconnects the coil primary circuit to
induce the proper high voltage in the secondary
circuit

tor The E C CS control unit actuates AAC
valve by ON/OFF pulse of approximately 160 Hz

IDLE-UP SOLENOID VALVE (VG30E engine)
The idle-up solenoid valve is attached to the intake
collector The solenoid valve actuates to stabilize
idle speed when engine load
is heavy because of
electric load, power steering oil pump, etc.

E G R CONTROL VALVE
The E G R. control valve controls the quantity of
exhaust
gas to be led to the intake manifold
through vertical movement of the taper valve con-
nected to the diaphragm, to which vacuum
IS
applied in response to the opening of the throttle
valve.
SEF632B
When installing the E.G.R. guide tube, be careful
of its direction. Otherwise the distribution effi-
ciency of the exhaust gas will be reduced.

E G.R control The solenoid
valve actuates in response to the ON/OFF signal
from
the E C.C S control unit. When the solenoid
is off, vacuum signal from intake manifold is fed
into the

unit outputs an ON signal, the coil pulls the
plunger downward, and cuts the vacuum signal

FUEL PUMP
The fuel pump, which is located in the fuel tank, IS
a wet type pump where the vane rollers are directly
coupled to
a motor which is filled with fuel

AIR REGULATOR
Air regulator gives an air by-pass when the engine is
cold for the purpose of a fast idle during warm-up
SE F635 B
A bimetal, heater and rotary shutter are built into
the air regulator When the bimetal temperature
IS
low,
the air by-pass port is open As the engine
starts and electric current flows through a heater,
the bimetal begins to rotate the shutter
to close off
the by-pass port The air passage remalns closed
until the engine
is stopped and the bimetal tem-
perature drops

SELF-DIAGNOSIS
Self-diagni
The self-diagnostic system determines malfunctions
of signal systems such as sensors, actuators, and
wire harnesses based on the status of the input
signals received by the
E C C S control unit
A malfunction is displayed by both the red and
green
L E D s (Light Emitting Diodes).
Basically, self-diagnosis
is always performed when
the power
is furnished to the E C C S control
unit The self-diagnosis results
are retained in the
memory chip of the
E C C S control unit and are
displayed only when the diagnosis mode selector
(located on
the side of the E C C S. control unit) is
turned fully clockwise
The self-diagnostic system
is provided with func-
tions which display malfunctions being checked
as well as those which are stored in the memory
In
this sense, it is very effective in determing an
"intermittent" malfunction The results which
is
or was stored in the memory can be erased by
following the steps specified
A malfunctioning area is determined by the num-
ber of blinks of both the
red and green L E D s
First, the red L E D blinks and the green follows
The red L E D refers to the tenth digit while the
green
one refers to the unit digit. For example,
when the red L
E D. blinks three times and the
green
L E.D blinks twice, this implies number
"32" In this way, all problems are classified by
code numbers.

Judging the selfdiagnosis results
1 When the ignition switch is turned "ON",
the diagnostic system judges
a malfunction
tic System
until the specified input signal is entered and
detected
as 0 K
(These input signals are not stored in the
memory
)
1) Vehicle speed sensor circuit (VG30ET engine)
When the vehicle speed exceeds
10 km/h
(6 MPH) and its corresponding signal is entered
2) Throttle valve switch (idle switch) circuit,
neutral switch circuit (VG30ET engine) and
air
conditioner switch circuit
After the ignition switch
is turned "ON" and
"ON-OFF"
signals from each switch are
entered
3) Start signal
After the engine has started and when start
signals "ON" and then "OFF" are entered
2 After the self-diagnostic system has detected
a malfunction, it continues to provide a mal-
function display until the memory
is erased
properly by the sepcified steps
1) Crank angle sensor circuit
When 1" or 120" signal is not entered after
the engine has started
When either 1" or 120" signal is not entered
often enough
2) Air flow meter circuit
When the air flow meter produces an abnormal-
ly high output voltage with the engine off
When the air flow meter produces an abnormal-
ly low output voltage with the engine running.
3) Cylinder head temperature sensor circuit
When the cricuit
is shorted or open
4) Ignition signal
When an ignition signal
is not produced on the
primary winding of the ignition coil after
the
engine has started
5) Fuel pump circuit
When current flowing through the E
C C.S
control
unit to drive the fuel pump IS too
small or too large while the engine
is operating.
6) Detonation sensor circuit (VG30ET engine)
When the circuit
is shorted with the engine
operating
at a speed of above 2,000 rpms
When the circuit is shorted or open
7) Fuel temperature sensor circuit

EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
-Intake Manifold Vacuum Control-
The vacuum control valve is provided to reduce the
engine lubricating oil consumption when the intake
manifold vacuum increases to
a very high level
during deceleration
The vacuum control valve senses
the manifold
vacuum.
As the manifold vacuum increases beyond
the specified valve, the valve opens and
air IS
sucked into the intake manifold

- Catalytic Converter
The exhaust gas contains unburned, harmful gases
While the mixture ratio
is maintained to the
stoichiometric point by the mixture ratio feedback
system, the three-way catalytic converter activates
to oxidize and reduce harmful
gases (HC, CO and
NO.<) into harmless gases (CO,, H, 0 and N2 1 In
this way, the catalytic converter cleans the exhaust
gas and emits CO,, H,O and N, into the at-
mosphere
