Diag. Code  51

Switch Condition Signal Circuit

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

Neutral Start Switch Signal
The ECU uses the signals from the neutral start switch to determine whether the transmission is in park or neu-
tral, or in some other gear.
Air Conditioner Switch Signal
The ECU uses the output from the air conditioner switch to determine whether or not the air conditioner is operat-
ing so that it can increase the idling speed of the engine if necessary.
Throttle Position Sensor IDL Signal
The IDL contacts are mounted in the throttle position sensor, and detects the idle condition.

Code No.

P

Setting the test mode.

(2) Turn ignition switch OFF.

(2) Connect terminals TE2 and E1 and TDCL.

(2) Turn ignition switch ON.

(For checking terminal A/C, start the engine.)

(2) Connect terminals TE1 and E1 of TDCL.

Check if code “51” is output by the “CHECK” engine
warning light.

*: Before the STA signal is input (ST is not ON),
