f Time count start6EL217The cylinder to be ignited is determined based on the top dead
center signal and the crank angle signal.
If the top dead center signal has already been input to the
engine control unit when the crank angle signal is input, the
unit decides that the No. 1 cylinder (or No. 4) cylinder is on the
compression stroke and turns off power transistor “A” and
causes the No. 1 cylinder (and No.4 cylinder) to fire.
If the top dead center signal has not been input to the engine
control unit when the crank angle signal is input, the unit
decides that the No.3 cylinder (or No. 2) cylinder is on the
compression stroke and turns off power transistor “B” and
causes the No.3 cylinder (and No. 2 cylinder) to fire. In this way,the power transistors “A” and
“B” are turned off alternately for
ignition power distribution.t

t is determined, the ignition timing (T,) is calculated using
the t value and the ignition advance angle (advance from

6EL0066The engine control unit has the ignition advance
angle value for all cylinder stroke intake air volumes
(engine load) and engine speeds stored in its
memory; this is called the basic ignition advance
angle. The control unit makes corrections in this
value according to the engine operating conditions
such as the engine coolant temperature, barometric
pressure (altitude) and intake air temperature to
obtain optimum advance angle for current engine
conditions. At the engine start and during ignition
timing adjustment, however, it is set to preset fixed
timing.
(1) WHILE CRANKING
When cranking, the ignition advance angle is fixed at
5”BTDC in synchronization with the crank angle
signal.(2) DURING NORMAL OPERATION
Basic ignition advance angle:
Map values that have been preset for all cylinder
stroke intake air volumes (engine load) and engine
speeds.Engine coolant temperature correction:
The engine coolant temperature sensor detects the
engine coolant temperature and when it is low, the
-ignition timing is advanced to improve driveability.
Barometric pressure correction:
The barometric pressure sensor detects the
barometric pressure and determines the altitude.
When the pressure is low (i.e. when the vehicle is at
a high altitude), the ignition timing is advanced to
secure maximum driveability.
intake air temperature correction:
The intake air temperature sensor detects the intake
air temperature and when it is low, the ignition
timing is delayed to prevent knocking in cold
weather. When it is high, the timing is also delayed
to prevent of knocking.
(3) DURING ADJUSTMENT OF IGNITION TIMING
When the terminal for ignition timing and idle speed
adjustment is shorted to ground, the ignition timing
is set at
5”BTDC in synchronization with the crank
angle signal, If the ignition timing does not agree
with the reference ignition timing of 5’BTDC, turn
the crank angle sensor to adjust the timing so that
the crank angle signal agrees with the reference
ignition timing. When the engine speed is approx-
imately 1,200 rpm or higher, however, the timing
advance is according to normal operation and
therefore this ignition timing adjustment is not
available.

6FUO565Engine knocking is detected and the ignition timing
is controlled accordingly to prevent continued
knocking and to protect the engine.
When knocking is detected, the engine control unit
delays the ignition timing according to the signal
from the detonation sensor until the knocking is
eliminated (up to a maximum 12” in crank angle). In
the case of an open or short circuit of the detonationsensor harness. the timing is delayed by a fixed
angle (approximately 8” in crank angle) to prevent
knocking.Energization Time Control
While
crankinaIf knocking continues, the advance angle map value
is corrected gradually in the delay direction.
In the absence of knocking, the map value is
corrected gradually in the advance direction. In this
way, optimum ignition timing is constantly control-
led; this control is effective even when fuels of
different octane ratings are used.
This means that the engine is protected from
knocking damage even when the fuel is switched
from premium to regular or vice versa.

IIn order to obtain stable ignition energy, the
ener-gization time of the ignition coil primary current is
controlled as to keep current at a constant value
when the primary current is shut off.
(1) DURING NORMAL OPERATION
Basic energization time
:The increase of the ignition coil primary current
changes with the battery voltage. Therefore, the
energization time is so controlled that the primary
current at time of ignition becomes
6A. The basic
energization time is so set that it is longer when the
battery voltage is low and is shorter when the
6FUO548Energization time clip:
The new two-coil ignition system has its ignition
interval doubled when compared to the convention-
al single
coil type, allowing a longer clip time. As a
result, a long energization time is secured for
sufficient ignition energy even during high speed
operation.
(2) WHILE CRANKING
When cranking, the ignition coil is energized in
synchronization with the crank angle signal.

ELECTRICAL - Theft-alarm System8-33ARMING THE SYSTEM
After the following procedures have been completed, the SECURITY light illuminates for about 20 seconds,
and when illumination stops, the system is armed.
(1) Pull out the ignition key from the key cylinder.
(2) Open a door. (The other door is closed.)
(3) Lock the door with the key or the
keyless-locking method.
(The central door locking system will then function to lock all doors.)
NOTE(1) The system is set regardless of whether the hood and liftgate are open or
closed, and is armed as
soon as the light goes out.
(2) Even after the system has been armed, if the key is used to open the liftgate, the system will not be
activated; when the liftgate is then
closed, moreover, the system will be armed.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM
(1) The system will be disarmed if the key is used to unlock a door.
(2) If the system is armed while the driver is still in the vehicle, the system can be disarmed by inserting the
ignition key and turning it to the ACC or ON position.
(3) If the door lock is unlocked while closing the door or the door is ajar.
(4) If the door is unfastened while the SECURITY light illuminates.
ACTIVATING THE ALARM
(1) if an attempt is made to open a door, the liftgate or the hood, without using the key, while the system is
armed, the horn will sound intermittently and the headlights will flash on and off for approximately
three,
minutes.Furthermore, the starter circuit is interrupted at this time also, making starting of the engine impossible.
(2) if a further attempt at *forcible entry is made after the first three-minute alarm has finished, the
three-minute alarm will be activated again.
DEACTIVATING THE ALARM
(1) To deactivate the alarm, insert the key into the door’s key cylinder and turn the key.
(2) The alarm is deactivated and the system is disarmed when the iiftgate is unlocked with the key.
CHECKING THE SYSTEM OPERATION
The activation/operation of the system can be checked by following the steps below.
(1) Turn the ignition key to the ON position and then use the power-window switch to fully open the window
at the driver’s seat side.
(2) Turn the ignition key to the LOCK position and then remove the key from the ignition.
(3) Open only the driver’s door, and close all the other doors, as well as the hood and the rear hatch.
(4) Lock the driver’s door by the key or the
keyless-locking method.
(5) All doors will then be
locked, and the SECURITY light (within the combination meter) will illuminate; check
to be sure that illumination stops in about 20 seconds.
(6) After about two seconds have passed after the SECURITY light illumination stopped, reach through the
window of the driver’s door, pull up the lock lever to unlock the door, and then open the door.
(7) Check to be sure that, when the door is opened, the horn starts sounding and the headlights flash on and
Off.
(8) To stop the alarm, insert the key into the door’s key cylinder and turn the key.
!?iEeck the alarm for the opening of the liftgate or hood open the liftgate (or the hood) by using the
remote liftgate release lever (or the hood release lever),
located at the driver’s seat side either before the
alarm is activated by the opening of a door, or after the finish of the first three-minute alarm.
