CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
To obtain a high purification rate for the CO, HC and NOx components of the exhaust gas, a three±way
catalytic converter is used, but for most efficient use of the three±way catalytic converter, the air±fuel
ratio must be precisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio.
The oxygen sensor has the characteristic whereby its output voltage changes suddenly in the vicinity
of the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio. This characteristic is used to detect the oxygen concentration in the
exhaust gas and provide feedback to the computer for control of the air±fuel ratio.
When the air±fuel ratio becomes LEAN, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust increases and the
oxygen sensor informs the ECM of the LEAN condition (small electromotive force: 0 V).
When the air±fuel ratio is RICHER than the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio the oxygen concentration in the
exhaust gas is reduced and the oxygen sensor informs the ECM of the RICH condition (large electro-
motive force: 1 V).
The ECm judges by the electromotive force from the oxygen sensor whether the air±fuel ratio if RICH
or LEAN and controls the injection duration accordingly. However, if malfunction of the oxygen sensor
causes an output of abnormal electromotive force, the ECM is unable to perform accurate air±fuel ratio
control.
The main heated oxygen sensor include a heater which heats the Zirconia element. The heater is con-
trolled by the ECM. When the intake air volume is low (the temperature of the exhaust has is low) current
flows to the heater to heat the sensor for accurate oxygen concentration detection.)

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The engine coolant temperature sensor senses the
coolant temperature. A thermistor built in the sensor
changes its resistance value according to the coolant
temperature. The lower the coolant temperature, the
greater the thermistor resistance value, and the high-
er the coolant temperature, the lower the thermistor
resistance value (See Fig. 1).
The engine coolant temperature sensor is connected
to the ECM (See wiring diagram). The 5 V power
source voltage in the ECM is applied to the engine
coolant temperature sensor from the terminal THW
via a resistor R. That is, the resistor R and the engine
coolant temperature sensor are connected in series.
When the resistance value of th engine coolant tem-
perature sensor changes in accordance with changes
in the coolant temperature, the potential at the termi-
nal THW also changes. Based on this signal, the ECM
increases the fuel injection volume to improve drive-
ability during cold engine operation. If the ECM re-
cords the diagnostic trouble code 22, it operates the
fail safe function in which the engine coolant tempera-
ture is assumed to be 80°C (176°F).

To control maximum turbocharging pressure the turbocharger system includes a waste gate valve con-
trolled by an actuator. The actuator is controlled by the manifold pressure which is duty controlled by the
VSV based on signals from the ECM.
If the ECM detects the below diagnosis conditions, it operates the fail safe function in which the ECM
stops fuel injection.

This sensor is built into the ECM. It is used to detect the atmospheric (absolute) pressure and outputs corre-
sponding electrical signals. Fluctuations in the air pressure cause changes in the intake air density which
can cause deviations in the air±fuel ratio. The signals from BARO sensor are used to make corrections for
the fluctuations. If the ECM detects the below diagnosis conditions, it operates the fail safe function in which
the atmospheric pressure is assumed to be 101.3 kPa (1.03 kgf/cm
