NOTE:
It is better to count the time accurately with a clock.
NOTE:
It is impossible to switch the diagnostic mode when an accelerator pedal position sensor circuit has a malfunction.
- Preform ACCELERATOR PEDAL RELEASED POSITION LEARNING .
- Perform THROTTLE VALVE CLOSED POSITION LEARNING . Start engine and warm to normal operating temperature.
- Ensure all conditions under PRE-CONDITIONING are met. Turn ignition off and wait at least 10 seconds. Ensure accelerator pedal is fully released.
- Turn ignition on and wait 3 seconds. Fully depress and fully release accelerator pedal quickly 5 times within 5 seconds. See Fig 1.
- Wait 7 seconds, then fully depress accelerator pedal and hold for approximately 20 seconds until MIL stops blinking and turns on.
- Fully release accelerator pedal within 3 seconds after MIL turns on. Start engine and let it idle. Wait 20 seconds. Quickly depress and release accelerator pedal 2 or 3 times.
- Ensure idle speed is 650-750 RPM (A/T in Park or Neutral position) or 650-750 RPM (M/T) and ignition timing is 10-20° BTDC with transmission in Park or Neutral. If idle speed and ignition timing are not as specified, result will be incomplete. Go to next step.
- Proceed as follows:
- Ensure throttle valve is fully closed.
- Check PCV valve operation.
- Ensure no vacuum leaks exist.
If problem is found, repair as necessary. If problem is not found, It may be helpful to perform TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS - SPECIFICATION VALUE. See TROUBLE SHOOTING -- NO CODES article. If engine stalls or idle speed fluctuates, repair cause of condition and repeat procedure.
