- If ohmmeter resistance is high (infinity), one or both wires may be shorted. Remove jumper wire, and take reading with ohmmeter on each wire. Replace damaged wires as required. If wires are not damaged, replace knock sensor.
Detonation (Knock) Sensors (850)
- Connect Measuring Unit (981 3190 ) and Adapter (981 3195 ) to distributor ignition ECU. Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove ECU cover located in right front engine compartment. Remove distributor ignition ECU. Press adapter onto ECU and pull lead upward through slot beside module. Press ECU, with adapter connected, into connector in bottom of ECU box. Connect measuring unit to adapter 60-pin connector.
- Depending upon which knock sensor is being checked, disconnect front or rear knock sensor connector and connect a jumper wire between knock sensor connector terminals. (Scheme 41)
- Connect ohmmeter between measuring unit terminals No. 22 and 23, or 24 and 25 (depending on which sensor is being checked). Reading should be zero ohms. If reading is correct, replace knock sensor. Tighten knock sensor to 15 ft. lbs. (20 N.m). If ohmmeter does not indicate zero ohms, check distributor ignition ECU wiring.
Detonation (Knock) Sensors (960)
- Turn ignition off and remove fuse No. 24. Connect Measuring Unit (999 3070 ) between ECU and ECU connector. (Scheme 35) Turn ignition on.
- Depending upon which knock sensor is being checked, disconnect front or rear knock sensor connector and connect a jumper wire between knock sensor connector terminals. (Scheme 41)
- Connect an ohmmeter between measuring unit terminals No. 2 and terminal No. 11 or 29 (depending on which sensor is being checked). Reading should be zero ohms. If reading is correct, replace knock sensor. Tighten knock sensor to 15 ft. lbs. (20 N.m).

EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR)
Note. For additional information on EGR system, see appropriate G - TESTS W/ CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section, see below.
- 850 Non-Turbo, see: «TESTS W/CODES - NON-TURBO»(ref-12934)
- 850 Turbo, see: «TESTS W/CODES - TURBO»(ref-12933)
- 940, see: «TESTS W/CODES - LH 2.4/EZK 116 IGNITION»(ref-15203)
- 960, see: «TESTS W/CODES»(ref-15206)
- Ensure all connections are tight and do not leak. Ensure all vacuum hoses are connected and not kinked. Check EGR function with cold and hot engine at different engine speeds.
- With engine coolant temperature below 131°F (55°C), EGR valve should be closed at all engine speeds. If EGR valve is open, replace thermostat valve.
- With coolant temperature above 140°F (60°C), EGR valve should only open at partial throttle. If EGR valve remains closed, check thermostat valve by disconnecting vacuum hose from EGR valve and blowing air into it. Air should flow freely through thermostatic valve. If air does not flow freely through thermostatic valve, replace valve.
FUEL EVAPORATIVE (EVAP)
Note. Only 850 fuel evaporative testing procedures are available from manufacturer. See VACUUM DIAGRAMS article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section for information on hose routing.
Scheme 42
- Disconnect ventilation hose and canister guide from throttle body. Connect vacuum pump to ventilation (large) port and begin pumping to obtain partial vacuum. (Scheme 42) Even though pressure returns quickly to atmosphere pressure, resistance should be felt when pumping. If vacuum and resistance are okay, go next step. If vacuum cannot be reached or resistance is not okay, check ventilation hose connected to canister for damage or leakage. If hose is okay, repeat test using new canister.
- Apply vacuum to small vacuum port. If partial vacuum is present, go to next step. If no partial vacuum is present, check vacuum hose connected to canister for leakage. If hose is okay, repeat test using new canister.
- Maintain vacuum in vacuum hose. Blow into hose that fits into large port. If air passes through canister with slight resistance, canister and guide are okay. If air does not pass through canister, check vacuum hose for blockage. If vacuum hose is okay, repeat test using new canister.
MISCELLANEOUS CONTROLS
Note. Although some of the controlled devices listed here are not technically engine performance components, they can affect driveability if they malfunction.
Cooling Fan Motor (850)
- Connect Measuring Unit (981 3190 ) and Adapter (981 3195 ) to distributor ignition ECU. Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove ECU cover located in right front engine compartment. Remove distributor ignition ECU. Press adapter onto ECU and pull lead upward through slot beside module. Press ECU, with adapter connected, into connector in bottom of ECU box. Connect measuring unit to adapter 60-pin connector.
- On vehicles without A/C, connect voltmeter between measuring unit terminals No. 20 and 17. On vehicles with A/C, connect voltmeter between measuring unit terminals No. 20 and 25. In both instances, battery voltage should be present. If battery voltage is not present, check wiring between fan motor, relay, and ground.
Cooling Fan Motor (960)
- Turn ignition off and remove fuseNo. 24. Connect Measuring Unit (999 3070 ) between ECU and ECU connector. (Scheme 35) Turn ignition on.
- Connect voltmeter between measuring unit terminals No. 14 and 19. Battery voltage should be present. Connect voltmeter between measuring unit terminals No. 34 and 19. Battery voltage should bepresent.
- If no voltage is present at control unit, check voltage supply to relay. If voltage is present, check wiring between fan motor, relay and ground.
