IDLE SWITCH CHECK
1. Disconnect the accelerator pedal position sensor (APS)
connector.
2. Check the continuity between the idle switch connector
terminal No. 4 (idle switch) and terminal No. 5 (earth).
Normal condition:
Accelerator pedal
Continuity
Step on
None
Release
Yes
3. Replace APS if it is inoperative.
NOTE
Make an adjustment on APS after replacement.(Refer
to P.13-58.)
BOOST AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR (INTAKE
AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR) CHECK
1. Remove the boost air temperature sensor.
2. Measure the resistance at the boost air temperature
sensor connector terminal.
Standard value:
2.3 - 3.0 k
Ω
(at 20
_
C)
0.30 - 0.42 k
Ω
(at 80
_
C)
3. Measure the resistance at the sensor part being warmed
up by a hair dryer.
Normal condition:
Temperature (
_
C)
Resistance value (k
Ω
)
Rising
Become smaller
4. If the resistance is not within the range of the standard
value or does not change at all, replace the boost air
temperature sensor.
NOTE
Replace the gasket as well.
5. Tighten the boost air temperature sensor to the specified
torque.
Tightening torque: 14
