-1- High-Pressure Sensor (63HS)
1. Compare the pressure that is detected by the high pressure sensor, and the high-pressure gauge pres-
sure to check for failure.
Set the digital display switch (SW1) as shown below to display the pressure that is detected by the high pressure sensor on
the light emitting diode
(1) While the sensor is stopped, compare the gauge pressure and the pressure displayed on self-diagnosis LED1.
1) When the gauge pressure is between 0 and 0.098MPa [14psi], internal pressure is caused due to gas leak.
2) When the pressure displayed on self-diagnosis LED1 is between 0 and 0.098MPa [14psi], the connector may be
defective or be disconnected. Check the connector and go to (4).
3) When the pressure displayed on self-diagnosis LED1 exceeds 4.15MPa [601psi], go to (3).
4) If other than 1), 2) or 3), compare the pressures while the sensor is running. Go to (2).
(2) Compare the gauge pressure and the pressure displayed on self-diagnosis LED1 while the sensor is running. (Com-
pare them by MPa [psi] unit.)
1) When the difference between both pressures is within 0.098MPa [14psi], both the high pressure sensor and the
main board are normal.
2) When the difference between both pressures exceeds 0.098MPa [14psi], the high pressure sensor has a problem.
(performance deterioration)
3) When the pressure displayed on self-diagnosis LED1 does not change, the high pressure sensor has a problem.
(3) Remove the high pressure sensor from the main board to check the pressure on the self-diagnosis LED1.
1) When the pressure displayed on self-diagnosis LED1 is between 0 and 0.098MPa [14psi], the high pressure sensor
has a problem.
2) When the pressure displayed on self-diagnosis LED1 is approximately 4.15MPa [601psi], the main board has a
problem.
(4) Remove the high pressure sensor from the main board, and short-circuit between the No.2 and 3 connectors (63HS)
to check the pressure with self-diagnosis LED1.
1) When the pressure displayed on the self-diagnosis LED exceeds 4.15MPa [601psi], the low pressure sensor has
a problem.
2) If other than 1), the main board has a problem.
2. Pressure sensor configuration
The high pressure sensor consists of the circuit shown in the figure below. If DC 5V is applied between the red and the black
wires, voltage corresponding to the pressure between the white and the black wires will be output, and the value of this
voltage will be converted by the microcomputer. The output voltage is 0.071V per 0.098MPa [14psi].

The pressure sensor on the body side is designed to connect to the connector. The connector pin number on the body side
is different from that on the main board side.
