The 4-light multi-reflector type headlights are adopted with new styling.
Along with the adoption of the 4-beam headlights, the daytime running light system has been changed
from the '99 model type that uses resistors to dim the low beams. On the 2000 model, the daytime running
light is a type that dims the right and left high beams through a series circuit.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
The CAMRY 5S±FE engine is equipped with a TOYOTA Computer Controlled System (TCCS)
which centrally controls the MFI/SFI, ESA, IAC diagnosis systems etc. by means of an Engine
Control Module (ECM±formerly MFI/SFI computer) employing a microcomputer.
The ECM controls the following functions:
1. Multiport Fuel Injection (MFI)/Sequential Multiport Fuel Injection (SFI)
The ECM receives signals from various sensors indicating changing engine operation conditions
such as:
Intake manifold pressure
Intake air temperature
Engine coolant temperature
Engine speed
Throttle valve opening angle
Exhaust oxygen content etc.
The signals are utilized by the ECM to determine the injection duration necessary for an optimum
air±fuel ratio.
2. Electronic Spark Advance (ESA)
The ECM is programmed with data for optimum ignition timing under all operating conditions.
Using data provided by sensors which monitor various engine functions (RPM, engine coolant
temperature, etc.), the microcomputer (ECM) triggers the spark at precisely the right instant.
3. Idle Air Control (IAC)
The ECM is programmed with target idling speed values to respond to different engine conditions
(engine coolant temperature, air conditioning ON/OFF, etc.). Sensors transmit signals to the ECM
which controls the flow of air through the bypass of the throttle valve and adjusts idle speed to
the target value.
4. Diagnosis
The ECM detects any malfunctions and abnormalities in the sensor network and lights a
malfunction indicator lamp in the combination meter. At the same time, trouble is identified and
a diagnostic trouble code is recorded by the EC
5. The diagnostic trouble code can be read by the
number of blinks of the malfunction indicator lamp when terminals TE1 and E1 are connected.
The diagnostic trouble codes are referred to in later page. (See page EG1±300)
Fail±Safe Function
In the event of the sensor malfunction, a back±up circuit will take over to provide minimal
driveability, and the malfunction indicator lamp will illuminate. The MFI (Multiport Fuel Injection)/SFI (Sequential Multiport Fuel Injection) system is composed
of 3 basic sub±systems: Fuel, Air Induction and Electronic Control Systems.
FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel is supplied under constant pressure to the MFI/SFI injectors by an electric fuel pump. The
injectors inject a metered quantity of fuel into the intake port in accordance with signals from the
ECM (Engine Control Module).
AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
The air induction system provides sufficient air for engine operation.

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The ECM contains a built±in self±diagnosis system by which
troubles with the engine signal network are detected and a
Malfunction indicator lamp on the instrument panel lights up.
By analyzing various signals as shown in the later table (See
page EG1±300) the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects
system malfunctions relating to the sensors or actuators.
In the normal mode, the self±diagnosis system monitors 14
items, indicated by code No. as shown in EG1±300. A mal-
function indicator lamp informs the driver that a malfunction
has been detected. The light goes off automatically when the
malfunction has been repaired. But the diagnostic trouble
code(s) remains stored in the ECM memory (except for code
Nos. 16). The ECM stores the code(s) until it is cleared by
removing the EFI fuse with the ignition switch off.
The diagnostic trouble code can be read by the number of
blinks of the malfunction indicator lamp when TE1 and E1
terminals on the data link connector 1 or 2 are connected.
When 2 or more codes are indicated, the lowest number
(code) will appear first.
In the test mode, 9 items, indicated by code No. as shown in
EG1±300 are monitored. If a malfunction is detected in any
one of the systems indicated by code Nos. 13, 22, 24, 25, 26,
27, 31, 41 and 71 the ECM lights the malfunction indicator
lamp to warn the technician that malfunction has been de-
tected. In this case, TE2 and E1 terminals on the data link
connector 1 or 2 should be connected as shown later. (See
page EG1±298).
In the test mode, even if the malfunction is corrected, the
malfunction code is stored in the ECM memory even when
the ignition switch is off (except code Nos. 43 and 51). This
also applies in the normal mode. The diagnostic mode (nor-
mal or test) and the output of the malfunction indicator lamp
can be selected by connecting the TE1, TE2 and E1 termi-
nals on the data link connector 1 or 2, as shown later.
A test mode function has been added to the functions of the
self±diagnostic system of the normal mode for the purpose of
detecting malfunctions such as poor contact, which are diffi-
cult to detect in the normal mode. This function fills up the
self±diagnosis system. The test mode can be implemented
by the technician following the appropriate procedures of
check terminal connection and operation described later.

*5: This indicates items for which ª2 trip detection logicº is used. With this logic, when a logic malfunction is first detected, the
malfunction is temporarily stored in the ECM memory. If the same case is detected again during the second drive test, this
second detection causes the Malfunction Indicator Lamp to light up.
The 2 trip repeats the same mode a 2nd time. (However, the IG switch must be turned OFF between the 1st trip and 2nd
trip),
In the Test Mode, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp lights up the 1st trip a malfunction is detected.wopen in EGR gas temp. sensor circuit

Back±Up Function
If there is trouble with the program in the ECM and the ignition signals (IGT) are not output from
microcomputer the ECM controls fuel injection and ignition timing at predetermined levels as a back±up
function to make it possible to continue to operate the vehicle.
Furthermore, the injection duration is calculated from the starting signal (STA) and the throttle position
signal (IDL). Also, the ignition timing is fixed at the initial ignition timing, 5
BTDC, without relation to
the engine speed.
HINT: If the engine is controlled by the back±up function, the malfunction indicator lamp lights up to
warn the driver of the malfunction but the diagnostic trouble code is not output.
