2000 TOYOTA CAMRY sensor

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The engine coolant temperature sensor senses the
engine coolant temperature. A thermistor built in the
sensor changes its resistance value according to the
engine coolant temperature. The lower the engine
coolant temperature, the greater the thermistor resis±
tance value, and the higher the engine coolant tem±
perature, the lower the thermistor resistance value
(See Fig. 1.).
The engine coolant temperature sensor is connected
to the ECM (See next page). The 5 V power source
voltage in the ECM is applied to the engine coolant
temperature sensor from the terminal THW via a resis-
tor R. That is, resistor R and the engine coolant tem±
perature sensor are connected in series. When the
resistance value of the engine coolant temperature
sensor changes in accordance with changes in the
engine coolant temperature, the potential at the ter±
minal THW also changes. Based on this signal, the
ECM increases the fuel injection volume to improve
driveability during cold engine operation. If the ECM
detects the diagnostic trouble code 22, it operates the
fail safe function in which the engine coolant temper±
ature is assumed to be 80
C (176
F).

The intake air temp. sensor is built into the air cleaner cap and senses the intake air tempera-
ture. The structure of the sensor and connection to the ECM is the same as in the engine coolant

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The main oxygen sensor is located in the exhaust manifold.
It indirectly determines whether the fuel mixture is rich or lean by detecting the concentration of
oxygen present in the exhaust gas.
Engine speed varies by more than 15 rpm over
the preceding crank position period during a period
of 50 sec. or more under conditions (a) and (b).
