OPERATIONl
The crank angle sensor senses the crank angle (piston position) of each cylinder, converts it into a pulse
signal and inputs it to the engine control unit, which then computes the engine speed and controls the fuelinjection timing and ignition timing based on the input signal.
lPower to the crank angle sensor is supplied from the control relay and is grounded to the body. The crank
angle sensor generates a pulse signal as it repeatedly connects and disconnects between 5 V voltagesupplied from the engine control unit and ground.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTSHint 1: If unexpected shocks are felt during driving or the engine stalls suddenly during idling, shake the
crank angle sensor harness. If this causes the engine to stall, poor contact of the sensor connector is
suspected.Hint 2: If the crank angle sensor outputs a pulse signal when the ignition switch is turned ON (with the
engine not running), a faulty crank angle sensor or engine control unit is suspected.
Hint 3:
If the tachometer reads 0 rpm when the engine that has failed to start is cranked, faulty crank angleHint 4:sensor or broken timing belt is suspected.
If the tachometer reads 0 rpm when the engine that has failed to start is cranked, the primary current
of the ignition coil is not turned on and off. Therefore, troubles in the ignition circuit and ignition coil orfaulty power transistor is suspected.
Hint 5: If the engine can be run at idle even though the crank angle sensor reading is out of specification,troubles are often in other than the crank angle sensor.
[Examples](1) Faulty engine coolant temperature sensor
(2) Faulty idle speed control servo
(3) Poorly adjusted reference idle speed

OPERATIONl
The ignition switch-ST inputs a high signal to the engine control unit while the engine is cranking. Theengine control unit provides fuel injection control, etc., at engine startup based on this signal.
l
When the ignition switch is set to START, the battery voltage at cranking is applied through the ignitionswitch and inhibitor switch to the engine control unit, which detects that the engine is cranking.
In case the selector lever is in a position other than the P/N range, the battery voltage is not applied to theengine control unit.
l
The inhibitor switch converts the selector lever position (whether it is at the P/N range or at others) into
high/low voltage and inputs it to the engine control unit, which then controls the idle speed control servobased on this signal.
l
The battery voltage in the engine control unit is applied through a resistor to the inhibitor switch. When the
selector lever is set to the P/N range, continuity is produced between the inhibitor switch terminal of the
engine control unit and ground through the starter motor, thereby making the terminal voltage go low.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
If the inhibitor switch harness and individual part check have resulted normal but the inhibitor switch output isabnormal, poorly adjusted control cable is suspected.

OPERATIONl
The power steering oil pressure switch converts presence/absence of power steering load into low/high
voltage and inputs it to the engine control unit, which then controls the idle speed control servo based on
this signal.l The battery voltage in the engine control unit is applied through a resistor to the power steering oil
pressure switch. Steering operation causes the power steering oil pressure to increase, turning the
switch on. As a result, continuity is produced between the battery voltage applied and ground. This
causes the power steering oil pressure terminal voltage to go from high to low.
