FUEL SYSTEM- Ermine Control Unit
FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTiON
(1) The fail-safe function controls the system so
that passenger and vehicle safety can be
maxi-
mized. in the event of failure of sens.ors or other
parts.If a sensor related to
ISC fails, for example, the
engine control unit is programmed to prevent
sharp increases in the engine speed.(2) The backup function of the engine control unit
ignores the output signal of a failed sensor and
instead uses a built-in program or set of values
so that the vehicle may continue to function. The
operating state when the backup function is
being used, is termed the emergency mode, and
the engine, control unit keeps the engine warn-
ing light ON during this mode.

FUEL SYSTEM - Fuel Injection Control
When cranking the cold engine, fuel is injected into
all four cylinders simultaneously twice for every
crankshaft revolution, and fuel injection is synchro-

The injector activation duration is determined
basi-
tally by the intake air flow signal from the air flow
sensor and the crank angle signal (engine rpm
signal). The duration determined in this way is called‘le “basic activation duration”. A correction factor is
applied to the basic duration according to the signalsfrom various sensors, to obtain the optimum
injec-tor activation duration (fuel injection volume) for
current driving conditions.

14-40FUEL SYSTEM - Fuel Injection Control
BASIC INJECTOR ACTIVATION DURATION
In sequential injection under normal operating conditions, fuel
is injected into each cylinder once every cycle (i.e., two
crankshaft revolutions).
The injector activation duration required to inject the amount of
fuel that achieves the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio
(15 times as
much air, by weight, as gasoline, by weight) with regard to the
amount of air admitted during one cycle in each cylinder is
called the “basic injector activation duration”.
The amount of air admitted to each cylinder during one cycle is
calculated by the engine control unit based on the signals
provided by the air flow sensor and crank angle sensor.

during One Cycle]
The amount of intake air used by the four cylinders in one cycle
in a four-cylinder engine can be calculated by counting the
number of pulses output from the air flow sensor during the
period of time in which the crankshaft rotates two complete
revolutions, i.e., during which four complete pulses are output
from the crank angle sensor. The amount of intake air used by
each cylinder in one cycle can therefore be calculated by
counting the number of air flow sensor output pulses during
the time in which the crank angle sensor outputs one pulse.
The amount of intake air into each cylinder per cycle is denoted
by the symbol
A/N, which varies in proportion to the intake
manifold vacuum (absolute pressure).
[Calculation of the Engine
Speed]The engine speed can be calculated by measuring the
one-pulse frequency of the crank angle sensor signal.
