1. Inspect air–fuel ratio compensation system
Hint:
you can also check the system by choosing ”data monitor”,
then ”o2 sensor output voltage” on the monitor of the
hand–held tester.
Connect the hand–held tester to the terminal 23 (ox1a)
@ 7 (e1) and 21 (ox1b) @ 7 (e1) of ...
Inspection procedure
1 Check relay (marking: starter cut)
Inspect the relay continuity, as shown in the illustration
and table.
Standard:
2 Check tvip ecu
Disconnect the tvip ecu connector.
turn the ignition switch position to the start.
