2001 NISSAN ALMERA engine

Component DescriptionNJEC0542IGNITION COIL AND POWER TRANSISTORNJEC0542S01The ignition signal from the ECM is sent to and amplified by the
power transistor. The power transistor turns on and off the ignition
coil primary circuit. This on-off operation induces the proper high
voltage in the coil secondary circuit.

System DescriptionNJEC0444
Sensor Input Signal to ECMECM func-
tionActuator
Crankshaft position sensor (POS) Engine speed
Fuel pump
controlFuel pump relay Camshaft position sensor (PHASE) Engine speed and cylinder number
Ignition switch Ignition signal and start signal
The ECM activates the fuel pump for several seconds after the ignition switch is turned on to improve engine
startability. If the ECM receives a 180É signal from the camshaft position sensor, it knows that the engine is
rotating, and causes the pump to perform. If the 180É signal is not received when the ignition switch is on, the
engine stalls. The ECM stops pump operation and prevents battery discharging, thereby improving safety. The
ECM does not directly drive the fuel pump. It controls the ON/OFF fuel pump relay, which in turn controls the
fuel pump.
Condition Fuel pump operation
Ignition switch is turned to ON. Operates for 1 second
Engine running and cranking Operates

and camshaft position sensor.)Stops in 1.5 seconds
