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

OPERATION
lThe vehicle speed sensor which is located in the speedometer converts the vehicle speed into a pulse
signal and inputs it to the engine control unit, which then provides the idle speed control, etc. based on
this signal.
lThe vehicle speed sensor generates the vehicle speed signal by repeatedly opening and closing betweenthe voltage of about 5 V applied from the engine control unit and ground using a reed switch.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
If there is an open or short circuit in the vehicle speed sensor signal circuit, the engine may stall when thevehicle is decelerated to stop.

OPERATION
The detonation sensor generates a voltage proportional to the magnitude of cylinder block vibration due to
knocking and inputs it to the engine control unit. Based on this signal, the engine control unit provides retardcontrol of the ignition timing.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
When knocking occurs while driving under high-load conditions, the following problems are suspected inaddition to the detonation sensor itself.
(1) Inappropriate ignition plug heat range
(2) Inappropriate gasoline(3) Incorrectly adjusted reference ignition timing

OPERATIONl The induction control valve position sensor detects the induction control valve opening degree and
converts it into a pulse signal to be input into the engine control unit, which provides valve opening andclosing control based on this signal.
l
The induction control valve position sensor is supplied with 5 V power from the engine control unit and is
grounded to the engine control unit. A voltage of 5 V from the engine control unit is impressed to the two
output terminals of the induction control valve position sensor. By opening and closing the circuit between
the output terminal and ground, the induction control valve position sensor generates the pulse signal.TSB Revision

OPERATIONl
The EGR temperature sensor converts the temperature of EGR gas downstream from the EGR valve to
voltage and inputs it to the engine control unit. The engine control unit judges the condition of the EGR bythis signal. If there is abnormal condition, the engine warning light is turned on to notify the driver.
l
Five volt power supply in the engine control unit is applied to the EGR temperature sensor through the
resistance in the unit. This power supply further passes through the EGR temperature sensor, which is a
kind of a resistor, and is grounded at the engine control unit. The resistance of the EGR temperature
sensor is characterized by a decrease in resistance with an increase of EGR temperature due to increasein quantity of EGR.
l EGR temperature sensor terminal voltage increases or decreases with EGR temperature sensor
resistance. Therefore, EGR temperature sensor terminal voltage changes with EGR gas temperature. Thehigher the EGR gas temperature, the lower the EGR temperature sensor terminal voltage.
