46ENGINEÐ1MZ±FE ENGINE
MAJOR DIFFERNCES
Major differences between the new 1MZ±FE engne and previous engine are listed below.
Item
Outline
Cooling SystemAn aluminum radiator core is used for weight reduction.
Intake and Exhaust System
Through the optimized allocation of the exhaust pipe supports, the number
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.
Engine MountingThe characteristics of the engine mounts, torque rod, and absorber have been
optimized to reduce noise and vibration.
Engine Control System
A communication circuit has been provided between the ECM and the
ABS & TRAC ECU in conjunction with the adoption of the TRAC
(Traction Control) system.*
The fuel pressure control has been discontinued in conjunction with the
adoption of the fuel returnless system.
Instead of using the IDL signal input from the throttle position sensor,
the ECM now uses the VTA signal to detect the completely closed state of
the throttle valve.
A new EGR system which uses a EGR valve position sensor is used.
A communication method of the ECM and the hand±held tester has been
changed from the SAEJ1962 to the ISO 9141±2.

4. Hydraulic Circuit
The hydraulic circuit of the Nippondenso and Bosch systems are the same.
5. Operation
The hydraulic system of the ABS has 4 circuits. Although the hydraulic circuit described below is 1 circuit, it is
applicable to other circuits as well.
During Normal Braking (ABS not activated)
During normal braking, the ABS is not activated
and the ECU does not send control signal. When the
brake pedal is depressed, the fluid pressure in the
master cylinder rises, brake fluid passes from port
A to port B, and then flows to the brake wheel
cylinder. When the brake pedal is released, brake
fluid returns from the brake wheel cylinder to the
master cylinder through port B to port A and the No.

During Normal Braking (ABS not activated)
1) Pressure Reduction Mode
When the wheel is about to lock, the control signal
from the ECU causes port A to close, port D to open,
thus engaging the pressure reduction mode.
At this time, the brake fluid flows from the wheel
cylinder, through ports C and D, to the reservoir,
reducing the wheel cylinder pressure. At the same
time, the brake fluid is pumped and returned to the
master cylinder.

2) Pressure Holding Mode
After the fluid pressure in the wheel cylinder is
reduced or increased to the required pressure, a
control signal fromt he ECU causes ports A and D
to close. As a result, the system engages in the
pressure holding mode to maintain the fluid
pressure in the wheel cylinder.

6. Construction and Operation of Components
TRAC OFF Switch and Indicator Light
1) TRAC OFF Switch
When pressing, this switch turns the TRAC system to be inoperative. Pressing it again changes it to be operative.
When turning the ignition switch from ªOFFº to ªONº, TRAC system always becomes operative.
2) TRAC OFF Indicator Light
This light comes on when the TRAC system is set inoperative by the TRAC OFF switch, and informs the driver
accordingly. And blinks to alert the driver when a malfunction has occurred in the engine and TRAC system.
3) Slip Indicator Light
When the TRAC system is operative, the light blinks and informs the driver accordingly.
ABS & TRAC Actuator
1) Construction
The ABS & TRAC actuator consists of 12 two±position solenoid valves, 1 motor, 2 pumps 2 reservoirs and 2 pressure
regulator valves.
The 12 two±position solenoid valves consists of 2 master cut solenoid valves, 2 reservoirs cut solenoid valves, 4
pressure holding valves, and 4pressure reduction valves.
Pressure regulator valve is assembled into the master cut solenoid valve.
The basic construction and operation of the pump, reservoir, pressure holding valve, and pressure reduction valve
are shared with ABS.
a. Master Cut Solenoid Valve
When the TRAC system is active, a signal from the ABS & TRAC ECU causes the master cut solenoid valve to turn
ON in order to shut off the circuit between the master cylinder and the front brake wheel cylinder.

b. Reservoir Cut Solenoid Valve
When the TRAC system is active, a signal from the ABS & TRAC ECU causes the reservoir to cut solenoid valve
to turn ON in order the circuit from the master cylinder to the pump.
The basic construction and operation are the same as those of the pressure reduction valve.
c. Pressure Regulator Valve
Regulates the brake fluid pressure regulated by the pump to a pressure level needed for TRAC control.
2) Hydraulic Circuit
*: Pressure regulator valve is assembled into the master cut solenoid valve, however, it is illustrated separately to
explain its operation.

3) Operation
The hydraulic system of the TRAC system consists of the following 2 circuits; the front right and front left. Although
the hydraulic circuit described below is one circuit, it is applicable to other circuits as well.
a. During Normal Operation (TRAC System not Activated)
When the TRAC system is inactive, the ABS & TRAC ECU does not output any controls signals. Thus, all valves
are OFF.
Accordingly, pressing on the brake pedal causes the brake fluid to flow from the master cylinder to port A, port B,
No. 1 check valve, port C, and port D, thus applying fluid pressure to the wheel cylinder.
Also, releasing the brake pedal causes the brake fluid to flow from the wheel cylinder to port D, port C, No. 2 check
valve, port B, and port A, thus returning to the master cylinder.
Thus, the brakes operate in the normal brake mode.

b. During Vehicle Acceleration (TRAC System Activated)
When a front wheel slips during acceleration, the TRAC system controls the engine output and braking of the front
wheels to help preventing wheel slippage.
The brake fluid pressure applied to the right and left front wheels is controlled separately accordingly to 3 control
modes ( pressure increase, holding, and pressure reduction) as explained below.
i) Pressure Increase Mode
During sudden acceleration or driving on a slippery surface, if the front wheels start to slip, a control signal from the
ABS & TRAC ECU causes the ABS & TRAC actuator to control the valves and pumps as described below, to effect
the pressure increase mode.
When the master cut and reservoir cut solenoid valves turn ON, port B is closed, port H is open and the pump operates
at the same time.
Accordingly, the brake fluid will be suctioned up from the master cylinder through parts G and H.
Then the brake fluid that is pressurized by the pump will be applied to the wheel cylinder through C and D.
Also, the brake fluid that pressurized by the pump is regulated to a constant pressure by the pressure regulator valve.
