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.

5 cylinders, converts it into a pulse signal and inputs it to the engine control unit, which then computes thefuel injection sequence, etc. based on the input signal.
l
Power to the top dead center sensor is supplied from the control relay and is grounded to the body. The
top dead center sensor generates a pulse signal as it repeatedly connects and disconnects between 5 Vvoltage supplied from the engine control unit and ground.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Hint 1:If the top dead center sensor does not function correctly, correct sequential injection is not made sothat the engine may stall, run irregularly at idle or fail to accelerate normally.
Hint 2: If the sensor outputs a pulse signal when the ignition switch is turned ON (with the engine not
running), a faulty top dead center sensor or engine control unit is suspected.

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

7FUO653
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.

OPERATION
lThe air conditioner switch applies the battery voltage to the engine control unit when the air conditioner is
turned on.
lWhen the air conditioner ON signal is input, the engine control unit drives the idle speed control servo and
turns ON the power transistor. As a result, the air conditioner power relay coil is energized to turn on therelay switch, which activates the air compressor magnetic clutch.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
If the air compressor magnet clutch is not activated when the air conditioner switch is turned on during idling,faulty air conditioner control system is suspected.
