REMOVAL
Fuel is explosive. An empty fuel tank can still contain explosive gases. Supply adequate ventilation to the work
area. Do not smoke and keep sparks and open flames away. Purge fumes from the tank as soon as possible.
6. Remove rubber grommet and wires from access cover and remove access cover.
7. Disconnect two fuel hoses from to fuel delivery module.

Tightening torque:
7.7~12.2 lb·ft (10.8~16.7 N·m, 1.1~1.7 kg·m)
a. Before removing or installing any part, read the diagnostic trouble codes and then disconnect the battery
negative (-) terminal.
b. Before disconnecting the cable from battery terminal, turn the ignition switch to OFF. Removal or connection
of the battery cable during engine operation or while the ignition switch is ON could cause damage to the
ECU.
c. The control harnesses between the ECU and heated oxygen sensor are shielded with the shielded ground
wires to the body in order to prevent the influence of ignition noises and radio interference. When the shielded
wire is faulty, the control harness must be replaced.
d. When checking the generator for the charging state, do not disconnect the battery '+' terminal to prevent the
ECU from damage due to the voltage.
e. When charging the battery with the external charger, disconnect the vehicle side battery terminals to prevent
damage to the ECU.
[INSPECTION]
a. After turning ON the ignition key, ensure that the light illuminates for about 5 seconds and then goes out.
b. If the light does not illuminate, check for an open circuit in the harness, a blown fuse or a blown bulb.
Self-Diagnosis
If a sensor connector is disconnected with the ignition switch turned on, the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is
recorded. In this case, disconnect the battery negative terminal (-) for 15 seconds or more, and the diagnosis
memory will be erased.
a. A "warm-up cycle" means sufficient vehicle operation such that the coolant temperature has risen by at least
40 degrees Fahrenheit from engine starting and reaches a minimum temperature of 160 degress Fahrenheit.
b. A "driving cycle" consists of engine startup, vehicle operation beyond the beginning of closed loop operation.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
a. If the engine stalls occasionally, start the engine and shake the MAF sensor harness. If the engine stalls, check
for poor contact at the MAF sensor connector.
b. If the MAF sensor output voltage is other than 0 when the ignition switch is turned on (do not start the engine).
Check for a faulty MAF sensor or ECU.
c. If the engine can be idle even if the MAF sensor output voltage is out of specification, check for the following
conditions;
a. Disturbed air flow to the MAF sensor, check for disconnected air duct, and clogged air cleaner filter.
b. Poor combustion in the cylinder, check for faulty ignition plug, ignition coil, injector, and incorrect comparison.
d. Check the mounting direction of AFS.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
a. The TPS signal is important for the control of automatic transaxles. Shift shock and other trouble may occur if the
sensor is faulty.
b. If engine idle or acceleration is abnormal, check the TPS connector. (When the TPS connector is not connected
properly,the current data on HI-SCAN (Pro) can show that the idle state remains off, although the accelerator
pedal is released. This results in the improper idle or acceleration.)
c. Input voltage from throttle position sensor is below 0.25V or above 4.7V when ignition switch is turned on.
USING VOLTMETER OR HI-SCAN (Pro)
3. Connect an analog ohmmeter between terminals 2 (sensor ground) and terminal 3 (sensor output).
4. Operate the throttle valve slowly from the idle position to the full open position, and check that the resistance
changes smoothly in proportion with the throttle valve opening angle.
