Fuel Pump
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Camshaft position sensorcEngine speed
ECM
(ECCS
control
mod-
ule)
cFuel
pump
relay
Ignition switchcStart signal
The ECM activates the fuel pump for several sec-
onds after the ignition switch is turned on to
improve engine startability. If the ECM receives a
180É signal from the camshaft position sensor, it
knows that the engine is rotating, and causes the
pump to operate. If the 180É signal is not received
when the ignition switch is on, the engine stalls.
The ECM stops pump operation and prevents bat-
tery discharging, thereby improving safety. The
ECM does not directly drive the fuel pump. It con-
trols the ON/OFF fuel pump relay, which in turn
controls the fuel pump.Condition Fuel pump operation
Ignition switch is turned to ON.Operates for
5 seconds.
Engine running and cranking Operates.
When engine is stopped Stops in 1 second.
Except as shown above. Stops.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The fuel pump with a fuel damper is an in-tank type (the pump
and damper are located in the fuel tank).

CAUTION:
If it becomes necessary to start the engine with a booster
battery and jumper cables,
a. Use a 12-volt booster battery.
b. After connecting battery cables, ensure that they are
tightly clamped to battery terminals for good contact.
c. Never add distilled water through the hole used to check
specific gravity.
How to Handle Battery
METHODS OF PREVENTING OVER-DISCHARGE
The following precautions must be taken to prevent over-dis-
charging a battery.
lThe battery surface (particularly its top) should always be
kept clean and dry.
lThe terminal connections should be clean and tight.
lAt every routine maintenance, check the electrolyte level.
This also applies to batteries designated as ``low mainte-
nance'' and ``maintenance-free''.
lWhen the vehicle is not going to be used over a long period
of time, disconnect the negative battery terminal.
lCheck the charge condition of the battery.
Periodically check the specific gravity of the electrolyte. Keep
a close check on charge condition to prevent over-discharge.
CHECKING ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
WARNING:
Do not allow battery fluid to come in contact with skin, eyes,
fabrics, or painted surfaces. After touching a battery, do not
touch or rub your eyes until you have thoroughly washed
your hands. If acid contacts eyes, skin or clothing, immedi-
ately flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical atten-
tion.

lRemove the cell plug using a suitable tool.
lAdd distilled water up to the MAX level.
SULPHATION
A battery will be completely discharged if it is left unat-
tended for a long time and the specific gravity will become
less than 1.100. This may result in sulphation on the cell
plates.
To determine if a battery has been ``sulphated'', note its
voltage and current when charging it. As shown in the
figure, less current and higher voltage are observed in the
initial stage of charging sulphated batteries.
A sulphated battery may sometimes be brought back into
service by means of a long, slow charge, 12 hours or more,
followed by a battery capacity test.
SPECIFIC GRAVITY CHECK
1. Read hydrometer and thermometer indications at eye level.
