GENERAL INFORMATION


The following are changed from the conventional engine controls. The controls except them are the same as the conventional one.
Improvement/Additions
Remark
The wire connection of the L terminal on the alternator is changed.
The harness is simplified by sending the request signal to illuminate the charge lamp via the CAN communication.
The A/C compressor relay is added.
The drive current is directly supplied to the A/C compressor from the battery.

List of Components and Functions
Name
Function
ECU
Engine-ECU
Effects control to actuate the actuators in accordance with the driving conditions, based the signals input by the sensors.
Sensors

Ignition switch-IG
Detects the ignition switch-IG ON/OFF signals. The engine-ECU turns the engine control relay ON/OFF in accordance with these signals.
Ignition switch-ST
Detects that the engine is cranking. Based on this signal, the engine-ECU effects fuel injection and ignition timing control that are suited for starting the engine.
Air flow sensor
Contains a heat-sensing resistor to detect the intake air flow rate (mass). Based on the signals from this sensor, the engine-ECU controls the fuel injection volume.
Barometric pressure sensor
This sensor detects the altitude of the vehicle. It enables the engine-ECU to make fuel injection volume corrections in order to achieve an appropriate air-fuel ratio.
Oxygen sensors (front and rear)
Consisting of zirconia and platinum electrodes, these sensors detect the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gases. The engine-ECU effects air-fuel ratio feedback control based on the oxygen sensor (front) output signals. In addition, it uses the signals output by the oxygen sensor (rear) to correct the deviations in the output signals of the oxygen sensor (front).
Intake air temperature sensor
Contains a thermistor to detect the intake air temperature. Based on the voltage that is output by this sensor, the engine-ECU corrects the fuel injection volume to suit the intake air temperature.
Engine coolant temperature sensor
Contains a thermistor to detect the engine coolant temperature. The engine-ECU determines the warm-up condition of the engine based on the signals output by this sensor, and controls the fuel injection volume, idle speed, and ignition timing.
Throttle position sensors (main and sub)
Detect the position of the throttle valve and input it into the engine-ECU. Based on the voltage output by these sensors, the engine-ECU effects feedback control for the throttle valve position.
Accelerator pedal position sensors (main and sub)
Detect the position of the accelerator pedal and input it into the engine-ECU. Based on the voltage output by these sensors, the engine-ECU injects fuel in accordance with the accelerator pedal position and effects throttle valve position control.
Camshaft position sensor
Contains a magnetic resistance element to detect the position of the camshaft. The engine-ECU detects the compression top-dead-centre (TDC) of each cylinder based on the combination of the signals from this sensor and the crank angle sensor.
Crank angle sensor
Contains a magnetic resistance element to detect the crank angle. Based on this signal, the engine-ECU controls the injectors.
Detonation sensor
Contains a piezoelectric element to detect the vibration of the cylinder block during knocking. In accordance with the signals provided by this sensor, the engine-ECU retards the ignition timing in accordance with the extent of the knocking.
Alternator FR terminal
Detects the energizing duty cycle ratio at the alternator field coil.
Alternator L terminal
Detects the alternator excitation current, outputting the voltage signal to the engine-ECU. The engine-ECU sends the request signal to illuminate the charge lamp to the combination meter via the CAN.
Clutch switch
Contains a contact type switch to detect the pressing of the clutch pedal.
