Inspection Using An Oscilloscope (Reference)

NOTE: The duty ratio for the wave pattern can vary with the control conditions. Therefore determine comprehensively where the malfunction occurs among the input systems, output systems, and the PCM,

Throttle control (+)




- Terminal connected: 1B (+) - Negative battery terminal
- Oscilloscope setting; 5 V/DIV (Y): 0.4 ms/DIV (X), DC range
- Measurement condition: IG SW ON

Throttle control (-)




- Terminal connected: 1C (+) - Negative battery terminal
- Oscilloscope setting: 5 V/DIV (Y): 1 ms/DIV (X), DC range
- Measurement condition: As soon as the accelerator pedal is fully released from the fully depressed position while the ignition switch is at ON (engine off).
