Injector Control
1) General
Fuel clearing control and injector unsticking control have been added to the injector control.
2) Fuel Clearing Control
While the vehicle is being driven at speeds higher than 60 km / h (37.5 mph), and the ignition switch is
turned OFF after the ECM has detected a low temperature condition of less than 25C (77F) of intake
air temperature, the ECM closes the fuel shutoff valve for the delivery pipe. However, instead of immedi-
ately stopping the engine, the fuel clearing control allows the engine to stop on its own after the fuel in
the delivery pipe has been used up. If the engine is running even after 2 seconds or more have elapsed
after the ignition switch has been turned OFF, the EFI relay is turned OFF to stop the engine.
3) Injector Unsticking Control
When the ignition switch is turned ON after executing the fuel clearing control, the injector unsticking
control activates two cylinders at a time to unstick the valve that is frozen stuck onto the valve seat. At
low temperature conditions. At this time, the shutoff valve remains closed so that the injectors will not
inject fuel.
Gas Leak Judgment
If the ECM has detected a gas leak through the signals received from the pressure sensors, the ECM closes
the shutoff valves and flashes the low fuel level warning light.
These functions are canceled by resetting the ECM (by disconnecting the negative [-] terminal of the bat-
tery), which enables the engine to start.
(The ECM should be reset only after performing a gas leak check and making sure that the leak has been
eliminated.)
NOTE: The low fuel level warning light also flashes when the fuel level is extremely low. The flashing
patterns shown below differentiates a gas leak from a low fuel level.

CAMRY ± NEW FEATURES54
1MZ-FE ENGINE
The following items have been changed in the '00 CAMRY.
The system for detecting evaporative emission leaks has been changed.
For details, see the General 2000 Features section.
A thermostat monitor function has been newly provided. This function monitors the changes in the coolant
temperature at the time the engine is started, and if the coolant temperature does not reach a specified value
within a prescribed length of time, the thermostat is determined to be faulty.
AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
As in the 5S-FE engine model, the A140E automatic transaxle is used on the 5S-FNE engine model.
The gear ratio of the differential has been lowered to accommodate the performance of the 5S-FNE engine
and to ensure fuel economy.

BODY
To install the fuel tank in the front area of the luggage compartment, the upper back panel has been cut
for the 5S-FNE engine model.
To prevent reducing the rigidity of the body due to the upper back panel that has been cut out, as well as
for installing the fuel tank, rear seat back, and package tray trim, a performance rod is used for joining both
rear suspension strut towers for the 5S-FNE engine model.
The luggage door support has been changed from the torsion bar to the damper stay type for the 5S-FNE
engine model.
To prevent reducing the capacity of the luggage compartment due to the installation of the fuel tank in the
luggage compartment, the shape of the rear floor pan has been changed.

LIGHTING
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.
