Legacy Sedan 2WD F4-2.2L SOHC (1990)
Idle Switch Testing
Idle Switch Adjusting
CHECK ECU VOLTAGE
With ignition "ON," measure voltage between ECU connector terminal and ground as follows:
Connector & terminal:
Voltage:
(B56)6-Ground
0V (throttle fully closed)
Approx. 4.6V (throttle fully open)
CHECK IDLE SWITCH
1.
Disconnect throttle sensor connector.
2.
Check continuity between throttle sensor idle switch terminals as follows:
Terminal:
Resistance:
#1-#2
0 Ohms (throttle fully closed)
1M Ohms min. (throttle fully open)
3.
If resistance is outside specifications, adjust idle switch as follows before replacing throttle sensor:
a.
Ensure that there is continuity between terminals #1 and #2 with throttle fully closed.
b.
Check that continuity still exists after inserting a thickness gauge of 0.7mm (0.028in) between throttle body stopper screw and stopper (Portion
G).
c.
Check that there is no continuity when a thickness gauge of 0.9mm (0.035in) is inserted.
d.
If adjustment is needed, loosen the two sensor securing screws and turn sensor body until correct adjustment is obtained. Do not adjust the
stopper screw.
e.
If correct adjustment cannot be made, replace the throttle sensor assembly.
CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECU AND IDLE SWITCH
1.
Disconnect ECU and throttle sensor connectors.
2.
Measure resistance between ECU and throttle sensor connectors and ground as follows:
Connector & terminal:
Resistance:
