2. Control System
*SFI system
The SFI system monitors the engine condition through the signals input from each sensor (Input signals from (1) to (12)
etc.) to the engine control module. And the control signal is output to TERMINALS #10, #20, #30, #40, #50 and #60 of
the engine control module to operate the injector (Inject the fuel). The SFI system controls the fuel injection operation by
the engine control module in response to the driving conditions.
*ESA system
The ESA system monitors the engine condition through the signals input to the engine control module from each sensor
(Input signals from (1) to (12) etc.). The best ignition timing is decided according to this data and the memorized data in
the engine control module and the control signal is output to TERMINALS IGT1, IGT2, IGT3, IGT4, IGT5 and IGT6. This
signal controls the igniter to provide the best ignition timing for the driving conditions.
*ACIS
The ACIS includes a valve in the bulkhead separating the surge tank into two parts. This valve is opened or closed
according to the driving conditions to control the intake manifold length in three stages, for increased engine output in all
ranges from low to high speeds, when idling.
3. Diagnosis System
With the diagnosis system, when there is a malfunction in the engine control module signal system, the malfunctioning
system is recorded in the memory. The malfunctioning system can be found by reading the code displayed by the
malfunction indicator lamp.
4. Fail-Safe System
When a malfunction has occurred in any system, if there is a possibility of engine trouble being caused by continued control
based on the signals from that system, the fail-safe system either controls the system by using data (Standard values)
recorded in the engine control module memory or else stops the engine.

The engine control system utilizes a microcomputer and maintains overall control of the engine, transmission etc. An outline
of the engine control is given here.
1. Input Signals
(1) Engine coolant temp. signal circuit
The engine coolant temp. sensor detects the engine coolant temp. and has a built-in thermistor with a resistance, which
varies according to the engine coolant temp.. The engine coolant temp. which is input into TERMINAL THW of the
engine control module as a control signal.
(2) Intake air temp. signal circuit
The intake air temp. sensor is installed in the mass air flow meter and detects the intake air temp. which is input as a
control signal to TERMINAL THA of the engine control module.
(3) Vehicle speed signal circuit
The vehicle speed signal is input from the ABS speed sensor to skid control ECU with actuator, and are sent to the
engine control module through communication control.
(4) RPM signal circuit
Camshaft position and crankshaft position are detected by the camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor.
Camshaft position is input as a control signal to TERMINAL G2+ of the engine control module, and engine RPM is input
into TERMINAL NE+.
(5) Throttle position signal circuit
The throttle position sensor detects the throttle valve opening angle as a control signal, which is input into TERMINALS
VTA1 and VTA2 of the engine control module.
(6) Battery signal circuit
Voltage is constantly applied to TERMINAL BATT of the engine control module. With the ignition SW turned on, the
voltage for engine control module start-up power supply is applied to TERMINALS +B and +B2 of the engine control
module via the EFI relay.
The current flowing through the IGN fuse flows to TERMINAL IGSW of the engine control module.
(7) Intake air volume signal circuit
Intake air volume is detected by the mass air flow meter and the signal is input to TERMINAL VG of the engine control
module as a control signal.
(8) Stop light SW signal circuit
The stop light SW is used to detect whether the vehicle is braking or not and the signal is input into TERMINAL STP of
the engine control module as a control signal.
(9) Starter signal circuit
To confirm whether the engine is cranking, the voltage is applied to the starter motor during cranking is detected and the
signal is input into TERMINAL STA of the engine control module as a control signal.
(10) Engine knock signal circuit
Engine knocking is detected by knock sensor and the signal is input into TERMINAL KNK1 as a control signal.
(11) Air fuel ratio signal system
The air fuel ratio is detected and input as a control signal into TERMINAL A1A+ of the engine control module.
(12) Oxygen sensor signal circuit
The oxygen density in the exhaust gases is detected and input as a control signal into TERMINAL OX1B of the engine
control module. To maintain stable detection performance by the heated oxygen sensor, a heater is used for warning the
sensor. The heater is also controlled by engine control module (O1B-).

strong engine braking as described pre-
viously.
With the selector lever in 2º or Lº, you
can start the vehicle in motion as with the
lever in Dº.
With the selector lever in 2º, the vehicle
will start in first gear and automatically
shift to second gear.
With the selector lever in Lº, the trans-
mission is engaged in first gear.
NOTICE

Be careful not to over- rev the en-
gine. Watch the tachometer to keep
engine rpm from going into the red
zone. The approximate maximum al-
lowable speed for each position is
given below for your reference:
Two- wheel drive models
2º 123 km/h (76 mph). . . . . . . . .
Lº 69 km/h (43 mph). . . . . . . . . .
Four- wheel drive models
