CautionWhen shifting the select lever to D range, the brakes should be applied so that the vehicle doesnot move forward.

NOTE*1. In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the air flow sensor output frequency is sometimes

10% higher than the standard frequency.*2. When idling to warm up from an engine coolant temperature of approx. –20�C, if the idling speed

is lower than the standard value even when the ISC motor is fully opened, the air volume limiterbuilt in the throttle body could be defective.

*3. The injector drive time represents the time when the cranking speed is at 250 r/min. or below whenthe power supply voltage is 11 V.

*4. In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the injector drive time is sometimes 10%longer than the standard time.

*5. In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the step of the stepper motor is sometimes30 steps greater than the standard value.

13A FUEL MPI 1999 – On-vehicle Service

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE� The following service procedures have been established

to correspond to changes in the throttle body in vehicleswith 4G92 engine for GCC and vehicles for Australia4G93 engine and stronger exhaust gas purificationmeasures. Other procedures are the same as before.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR ADJUSTMENT1. Connect the MUT-II to the diagnosis connector. Carry

out the following procedure if not using the MUT-II.

(1) Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector andconnect the special tool (MB991536 test harness)between the disconnected connectors. (Be carefulnot to mistake the terminal numbers.)

(2) Connect a digital-type voltage meter between terminal(3) (sensor output: yellow clip of the special tool)and terminal (1) (sensor earth: red clip of specialtool) of the throttle position sensor connector.

2. Turn the ignition switch to ON. (Do not start the engine.)3. Check the throttle position sensor output voltage.

Standard value: 535 – 735 mV

4. If the voltage is outside the standard value range, loosenthe throttle position sensor mounting bolt and turn thethrottle position sensor body to adjust.

5. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.6. Disconnect the MUT-II. If not using the MUT-II, remove

the special tool and re-connect the throttle position sensorconnector.

7. If a diagnosis trouble code has been output, use theMUT-II to erase the diagnosis codes, or disconnect the(–) terminal of the battery for 10 seconds or more andthen reconnect it. Then run the engine at idle for about10 minutes.

BASIC IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT

NOTE(1) The standard idling speed has been adjusted by the

speed adjusting screw (SAS) by the manufacturer,and there should usually be no need for readjustment.

(2) If the adjustment has been changed by mistake, theidle speed may become too high or the idle speedmay drop too low when loads from components suchas the A/C are placed on the engine. If this occurs,adjust by the following procedure.

(3) The adjustment, if made, should be made after firstconfirming that the spark plugs, the injectors, the idlespeed control servo, the compression pressure, etc.,are all normal.

1. Before inspection and adjustment, set the vehicle to thepre-inspection condition.

2. Connect the MUT-II to the diagnosis connector (16-pin).

NOTEWhen the MUT-II is connected, the diagnosis controlterminal should be earthed.

3. Start the engine and run at idle.

4. Select the item No. 30 of the MUT-II Actuator test.

NOTEThis holds the ISC servo at the basic step to adjust thebasic idle speed.

5. Check the idle speed.

Standard value:700 ± 50 r/min <Vehicles for Australia>

NOTE(1) The engine speed may be 20 to 100 r/min lower

than indicated above for a new vehicle [drivenapproximately 500 km or less], but no adjustmentis necessary.

(2) If the engine stalls or the engine speed is low eventhough the vehicle has been driven approximately500 km or more, it is probable that deposits areadhered to the throttle valve, so clean it.

6. If not within the standard value range, turn the speedadjusting screw (SAS) to make the necessary adjustment.

7. Press the MUT-II clear key, and release the ISC servofrom the Actuator test mode.

NOTEUnless the ISC servo is released, the Actuator test modewill continue 27 minutes.

8. Switch OFF the ignition switch.9. Disconnect the MUT-II.10. Start the engine again and let it run at idle speed for

about 10 minutes; check that the idling conditions isnormal.

IDLE SPEED CONTROL (ISC) SERVO(STEPPER MOTOR) CHECKChecking the Operation Sound1. Check that the engine coolant temperature is 20�C or

below.

NOTEDisconnecting the engine coolant temperature sensorconnector and connecting the harness-side of theconnector to another engine coolant temperature sensorthat is at 20�C or below is also okay.

2. Check that the operation sound of the stepper motorcan be heard after the ignition is switched ON. (but withoutstarting the motor.)

3. If the operation sound cannot be heard, check the steppermotor’s activation circuit.If the circuit is normal, it is probable that there is amalfunction of the stepper motor or of the engine controlunit.

Checking the Coil Resistance1. Disconnect the idle speed control servo connector.2. Measure the resistance between terminal 2 and either

terminal 1 or terminal 3 of the connector at the idle speedcontrol servo side.

Standard value: 28 – 33 � (at 20�C)

3. Measure the resistance between terminal 5 and eitherterminal 6 or terminal 4 of the connector at the idle speedcontrol servo side.
