CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Park/Neutral Position Switch Signal*
The ECM uses the signals from the park/neutral position switch to determine whether the transmis±
sion is in park or neutral, or in some other gear.
Air Conditioning Switch Signal
The ECM uses the output from the air conditioning switch to determine whether or not the air
conditioning is operating so that it can increase the idling speed of the engine if necessary.
Throttle Position Sensor IDL Signal
The IDL contacts are mounted in the throttle position sensor, and detects the idle condition.

MAJOR DIFFERENCES
Major differences between the new 5S±FE engine and previous engine are listed below.
Item
Features
Engine ProperThe squish area of the combustion chamber in the cylinder head has been
optimised to improve torque in the low±to mid±speed range.
Cooling SystemAn aluminum radiator core is used for weight reduction.
Intake and Exhaust System
The ports of the manifold have been extended to improve torque in the low±
to mid±speed range.
The exhaust manifold is made of stainless steel plates for improve engine per-
formance and weight reduction.
Through the optimized allocation of the exhaust pipe supports, the number of
supports has been reduced from 5 to 4, thus reducing the noise and vibration
which are transmitted to the vehicle body.
Fuel SystemA fuel returnless system has been adopted to prevent the internal temperature
of the fuel tank from rising and to reduce evaporative emissions.
Ignition SystemThe DIS (Direct Ignition System) contributes to the powerful high output by
providing a powerful spark to the engine.
Engine MountingTo reduce noise and vibration and to improve drivability, the allocation of the
engine mounts*1 and their characteristics have been revised.
Engine Control System
The injection pattern for engine starting have changed form the 2 group
injection type to sequential multiport injection type.
In place of the oxygen sensor (bank 1, sensor 1), a new air fuel ratio sensor has
been adopted. *
2
The power steering idle±up control has been changed from the system using
an air control valve to the one using a pressure switch and an IAC valve.
Emission Control System
The EGR valve body has been changed from cast iron to aluminum alloy for
weight reduction.
A TWC (Three±Way Catalytic Converter) that is integrated with a stainless
steel exhaust manifold has been adopted.*
2
The TWC, which was previously installed below the exhaust manifold has
been discontinued.*3

engine starting and the air±fuel ratio sensor*

Camshaft Position Sensor
The camshaft position sensor is mounted onto the
cylinder head. Using the protusion that is provided
on the timing pulley, the sensor generates 1 signal
for every revolution. This signal is then sent to the
ECM as a cranskshaft angle system.

Air Fuel Ratio Sensor (California Specifications Models Only)
As illustrated below, the conventional oxygen sensor is characterized by a sudden change in its output voltage at the
threshold of the stoichiometric air±fuel ration (14.7 to 1). Incontrast, the air±fuel ratio sensor outputs a voltage that
is approximately proportionate to the existing air±fuel ratio by converting the oxygen density to the voltage. As a
reslut, the detection precision of the air±fuel ratio has been improved.
6. SFI (Sequential Multiport Fuel Injection)
Fuel Injection Pattern
The fuel injection pattern during engine starting has been changed from the 2±group injection type to the sequential
multiport injection type to reduce exhaust emissions during engine starting.
Air Fuel Ratio Feedback Control (California Specification Models Only)
The precision of the air±fuel ratio feedback control has been improved through the adoption of the air±fuel ratio
sensor. As illustrated below, if the existing air±fuel ratio diverts from the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio, the
conventional oxygen sensor used to correct the air±fuel ratio at a constant proportion. However, with the air±±fuel
ratio sensor, the ECM can determine the extent of diversion from the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio and excute an
immediate correction.
