Component Description
NEEDLE LIFT SENSOR (NLS)
The needle lift sensor is built into the No. 1 nozzle. Its inductive
pickup element senses fuel injection timing. It is sent as a pulse
signal to the ECM for feed-back the actual fuel injection timing and
calculating the secondary engine speed.

DTC Confirmation Procedure
NOTE:
Before DTC confirmation, be sure to check battery voltage is
above 9V.
WITH CONSULT-II
1) Turn ignition switch to ªONº position and select ªDATA MONI-
TORº mode with CONSULT-II.
2) Start engine.
3) Run it for 2 seconds at above 1,200 rpm.
WITHOUT CONSULT-II
1) Start engine.
2) Run it for 2 seconds at above 1,200 rpm.
3) Turn ignition switch to ªLOCKº position, wait at least 5 seconds
and then turn to ªONº position.
4) Perform ªDiagnostic Test Mode IIº (Self-diagnostic results).

The ECM receives signals sent from the engine coolant tempera-
ture sensor, crankshaft position sensor (TDC), ignition switch etc.
to determine engine speed and operating conditions. Based on
these signals, the ECM controls EGRC-solenoid valve (A and B)
operation and throttle solenoid valve operation.
The EGR control stops when engine coolant temperature is below
45ÉC (113ÉF), at idling, at starting and when the system compo-
nents and engine speed signals are disordered.

Component Description
The EGRC-solenoid valves A and B, control vacuum pressure act-
ing on the EGR valve. The EGR control valve will be fully opened,
half-opened or fully closed, as required.
The throttle control solenoid valve controls vacuum pressure acting
on the throttle control valve. Thus, intake air passages are opened
or closed in relation to exhaust gas and intake air. Utilizing the
relationship between exhaust gas pressure and intake air pressure
control, the amount of EGR (exhaust gas recirculated) is regulated
in three approximate measures Ð large, medium, small.
