1995 TOYOTA SUPRA coolant temperature

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).

DTC 24 Intake Air Temp. Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The intake air temp. sensor is built into the mass air flow meter and senses the intake air temperature. The struc-
ture of the sensor and connection to the ECM is the same as in the engine coolant temp. sensor shown on page
EG±530.
If the ECM detects the diagnostic trouble code º24º, it operates the fail safe function in which the intake air tem-
perature is assumed to be 20°C (68°F).

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The EGR system is designed to recirculate the exhaust gas, controlled according to the driving condi-
tions back into the intake air±fuel mixture. It helps to slow down combustion in the cylinder and thus
lower the combustion temperature which, in turn, reduces the amount of NO
x emission. The amount
of EGR is regulated by the EGR vacuum modulator according to the engine load.
If even one of the following conditions is fulfilled,
the VSV is turned ON by a signal from the ECM.
This resists in atmospheric air acting on the EGR
valve, closing the EGR valve and shutting off the
exhaust gas (EGR cut±OFF).

VSV Circuit for Fuel Pressure Control
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ECM turns on a VSV (Vacuum Switching
Valve) to draw air into the diaphragm chamber
of the pressure regulator if it detects that the
temperature of the engine coolant is too high
during engine starting.
The air drawn into the chamber increases the
fuel pressure to prevent fuel vapor lock at high
engine temperature in order to help the en-
gine start when it is warm.
Fuel pressure control ends approx. 120 sec.
after the engine is started.
