Engine Control for 3MZ-FE
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 is detected by the VVT sensors and its signal is input to TERMINALS VV1+ and VV2+ of the engine
control module as a control signal. Also, engine RPM is detected by the crankshaft position sensor and is input as a
control signal to TERMINAL NE+.
(5) Throttle position signal circuit
The throttle control motor and 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 sensors and the signal is input into TERMINALS KNK1 and KNK2 as a control
signal.
(11) Air fuel ration signal circuit
The air fuel ration is detected and input as a control signal into TERMINALS A1A+ and A2A+ 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 TERMINALS OX1B and OX2B 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 the engine control module (HT1B and HT2B).
(13) Fuel cut in a collision
The system receives the collision signal from airbag sensor assembly in the vehicle has a collision and stops the fuel
pump operation on the side of the engine control module.

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

(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-).
(13) Fuel cut in a collision
The system receives the collision signal from center airbag sensor assembly in the vehicle has a collision and stops the
fuel pump operation on the side of the engine control module.

With the ignition SW turned on, the current flows to TERMINAL (A) 5 of the body ECU through IG1 fuse.
Voltage is applied at all times to TERMINAL (A) 7 of the body ECU through the TAILLIGHT relay. Coil side, and to
TERMINAL (C) 3 through the HEAD LAMP relay coil side (w/o daytime running light) or through the DRL NO.2 relay (w/
daytime running light).
1. Normal Lighting Operation
With the light control SW turned to TAIL position, a signal is input into TERMINAL (B) 18 of the body ECU. Due to this signal,
the current flowing to TERMINAL (A) 7 of the body ECU flows to TERMINAL (B) 18 to TERMINAL 14 of the light control SW
to TERMINAL 16 to GROUND, and TAILLIGHT relay causes taillights to turn on.
With the light control SW turned to HEAD position, a signal is input into TERMINALS (B) 17 and (B) 18 of the body ECU. Due
to this signal, the current flowing to TERMINAL (C) 3 of the body ECU flows to TERMINAL (B) 17 to TERMINAL 13 of the
light control SW to TERMINAL 16 to GROUND in the headlight circuit, and causes TAILLIGHT and HEAD LAMP (w/o
daytime running light) or DRL NO.2 relay (w/ daytime running light) to turn the lights on. The taillight circuit is same as above.
2. Light Auto Turn Off Operation
With light on and ignition SW turned off (Input signal goes to TERMINAL (A) 5 of the body ECU), when the driver's door is
opened (Input signal goes to TERMINAL (C) 11 of the body ECU), the ECU operates and the current is cut off which flows
from TERMINAL (A) 7 of the body ECU to TERMINAL (B) 18 in taillight circuit and from TERMINAL (C) 3 to TERMINAL (B)
17 in headlight circuit.
As a result, all lights are turned off automatically.
