R
(a) Turn the ignition switch on
.
(b) Disconnect the vacuum hose at the intake chamber
side
.
(c) Connect a voltmeter to terminals PIM and E2 of the
ECU, and measure and record the output voltage
under the ambient atmospheric pressure
.
(d) Using a Mityvac (hand-held vacuum pump), apply
vacuum to the manifold pressure sensor in
increments of 13
.3 kPa (100 mmHg, 3.94 in
.Hg) until
the vacuum reaches 66
.7 kPa (500 mmHg, 19
