OPERATIONControl Relay Operation
l Drives the fuel pump during cranking and engine operation.
l
When the ignition switch is set to START, current flows from the ignition switch through the control relay
coil to ground. This turns on the control relay switch and drive power is supplied from the battery throughthe control relay switch to the fuel pump.
lWhile the engine is running, the engine control unit keeps the power transistor on and energizes the
control relay coil so that drive power is supplied to the fuel pump.
Fuel Pump Relay No. 2 Operation
lChange the fuel pump discharge in two stages by ON-OFF operation of the relay switch for fuel pumprelay No. 2.
lIf the amount of inlet air is small (the engine load is low), the engine control unit turns on the power
transistor to energize the coil of fuel pump relay No. 2, sending drive power to the fuel pump through the
resistor. If the amount of inlet air is large (the engine load is high), the engine control unit turns off thepower transistor to send drive power directly to the fuel pump without passing through the resistor.

OPERATIONl
The air flow sensor located in the air cleaner converts the engine intake air volume into a pulse signal of
frequency proportional to the air volume and inputs it to the engine control unit, which then computes thefuel injection rate, etc. based on the input signal.
l
The air flow sensor power is supplied from the control relay to the air flow sensor and is grounded in theengine control unit. The air flow sensor generates a pulse signal as it repeatedly opens and closes
between the 5 V voltage supplied from the engine control unit and ground.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Hint 1 :If the engine stalls occasionally, crank the engine and shake the air flow sensor harness. If the engineHint 2:stalls, poor contact of the air flow sensor connector is suspected.
If the air flow sensor output frequency is other than 0 when the ignition switch is turned on (but notHint 3:starting the engine), faulty air flow sensor or engine control unit is suspected.
If the engine can be run idle even though the air flow sensor output frequency is out of specification,troubles are often found in other than the air flow sensor itself.
[Examples](1) Disturbed air flow in the air flow sensor
(Disconnected air duct, clogged air cleaner element)
(2) Poor combustion in the cylinder
(Faulty ignition plug, ignition coil, injector, incorrect compression pressure, etc.)
(3) Air leaking into the intake manifold through gap of gasket, etc.
(4) Loose EGR valve seatTSB Revision

Hint 1 : If the barometric pressure sensor is faulty, poor driveability is caused at high altitude, in particular.

Hint 2: If the pressure indication of the barometric pressure sensor drops significantly during high speeddriving, check the air cleaner for clogging.
