1997 TOYOTA SUPRA engine

38SUPRAÐNEW FEATURES
3. Sound Absorbing Materials
Seal material has been newly provided to the bottom of the front pillar, and a quarter service hole cover has been
newly provided to the quarter portion in order to reduce road noise while driving.
The material of sound absorbing material used in the roof side inner garnish, quarter trim, deck side trim and deck
rear trim has been changed to reduce road noise.

CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM
1. Actuator
The '97 Supra has adopted a new motor type actuator that is both lightweight and simple in construction.
The basic construction and operation of this actuator are the same as in the '96 4Runner with 5VZ±FE engine.
For details, see the 1996 4Runner New Car Features (Pub. No. NCF126U), page 71.
2. Cruise Control ECU
Manual Cancel Function
The manual cancel function, which cancels the cruise control when the parking brake is operated, has been
discontinued.

26SUPRAÐNEW FEATURES
 DIFFERENTIAL
1. General
A differential gear ratio has been changed on the 2JZ±GE engine model.
A Helical gear type torque±sensing LSD (Limited Slip Differential) is available as an option on the SJZ±GE engine
model and 2JZ±GTE engine with automatic transmission model.
As in the '96 model, a worm gear type torque±sensing LSD is used on the model with the SJZ±GTE engine and
manual transmission.

Characteristics
Good traction of high bias ratio design is obtained through the utilization of two types of friction: One is the friction
that is generated between the planet gear's tooth tips and the differential case's inner wall. The other is the friction
that is generated between the side gear end face and the thrust washer.
Quick response and minimum time lag until differential limiting force is generated.
The bias ratio sustains minimal changes due to aging and maintains a stable performance.
A simple, compact, and lightweight differential configuration has been achieved through the use of the helical gear.
Ordinary differential oil must be used; do not use special LSD oil.

29 SUPRAÐNEW FEATURES
 DRIVE SHAFT
The drive shaft outboard joint of the 2JZ±GE engine model has been changed from the cross±groove type CJV
(Constant±Velocity Joint) to the Rzeppa type CVJ.
As in the '96 model, the 2JZ±GTE engine model uses the drive shaft consisting of cross±groove type CVJs for both
the inboard and outboard joints.
 BRAKES
1. General
The size of the master cylinder for the 2JZ±GTE engine model has been increased to realize excellent brake feeling.
The ABS actuator has been changed from the conventional three±position solenoid valves to a combination of
compact two±position solenoid valves, thus achieving a compact and lightweight configuration.
3±channel type ABS with 4±speed sensor is used on the 2JZ±GE engine model.
4±channel type ABS with 4±speed sensors and linear type deceleration sensor is used on the 2JZ±GTE engine
model.

Layout of Components
Construction and Operation
1) Deceleration Sensor
The 2JZ±GTE engine model uses a linear type deceleration sensor to detect the deceleration rate in the vehicle's
longitudinal direction and the acceleration rate in the vehicle's lateral direction.
Accordingly, the ABS in able to determine the vehicle's cornering condition and various road surface conditions to
achieve a finely cornering control.
The basic construction and operation are the same as those of the '97 RAV4 4WD 2±door model. For details, see '96
RAV4 New Car Features (Pub. No. NCF124U), page 70.
2) ABS Actuator
a. General
The ABS actuator consists of 6 or 8 two±position solenoid valves, 2 pumps, 2 reservoirs and a motor. The table below
compares the actuator against that of the '96 model.

3) ABS ECU
a. Wheel Speed Control
The ECU constantly receives signals form the 4±speed sensors and a deceleration sensor (2JZ±GTE engine model),
and estimates the speed and deceleration rate of the vehicle by calculating the speed and deceleration rate of each
wheel.
b. Initial Check
An initial check is carried out every time once after the engine has started and the initial vehicle speed exceeds 6 km/h
(4 mph).
c. Self±Diagnosis
If the ABS ECU detects a malfunction in the ABS, the ABS warning light and a master warning lights in the
combination meter will light up and alert the driver that a malfunction has occurred. The ECU will also store the codes
of the malfunctions.
 SUSPENSION
1. General
The shock absorber of the 2JZ±GTE engine model with manual transmission has been changed from the
mono±tube, gas±filled shock absorber to the twin±tube, gas±filled shock absorber, which is the same type that is
used on the 2JZ±GE engine model.
The same rubber±integrated ball bushing that is used on the 2JZ±GTE engine model is used for the upper arm
bushing of the rear suspension of the 2JZ±GE engine model.
The brace rod of the rear subframe has been relocated to realize excellent riding comfort, in addition, this provides
excellent stability, an controllability.
