COOLING SYSTEM
1. General

The cooling system is a pressurized, forced-circulation type.

A thermostat with a bypass valve is located on the water inlet housing to maintain suitable temperature
distribution in the cooling system.

The flow of the engine coolant makes a U-turn in the cylinder block to ensure a smooth flow of the engine
coolant.

The radiator for the engine and the A / C condenser have been integrated to minimize the space they occupy
in the engine compartment.

INTAKE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM
1. Throttle Body

The adoption of the ETCS-i has realized excellent throttle control.

The ISC system and cruise control system are controlled comprehensively by the ETCS-i.

The ETCS-i, which drives the throttle valve through a DC motor that is controlled by the ECM, thus doing
away with a throttle link to connect the accelerator pedal to the throttle valve, has been adopted.

The throttle control motor is provided with a return spring that closes the throttle valve.

An opener spring is provided on the throttle position sensor side. This spring opens the throttle valve slight-
ly when the engine is stopped to prevent the throttle valve from sticking and to improve the engine's restart-
ability.

A warm coolant passage is provided below the throttle body to prevent the throttle valve from freezing
during cold temperatures.
2. Intake Manifold

Because it is not necessary to improve the in-
take air efficiency through inertial intake due to
the adoption of the Atkinson cycle, the length
of the intake pipe of the intake manifold has
been shortened, and furthermore, the intake
pipes for cylinders #1 and #2, as well as for #3
and #4, have been integrated midstream to
achieve a large-scale weight reduction.
In addition, the throttle body has been oriented
downflow in the center of the surge tank to
achieve a uniform intake air distribution.

A vacuum port has been provided for the Toyo-
ta HC adsorber and catalyst system.

Electronic Spark
AdvanceIgnition timing is determined by the ECM based on signals from various
sensors. The ECM corrects ignition timing in response to engine knocking.

Throttle Control
System-intelligentOptimally controls the throttle valve opening in accordance with the ECM,
and the conditions of the engine and the vehicle, and comprehensively
controls the ISC and cruise control system.
Fuel Pump Control
Fuel pump operation is controlled by signal from the ECM.

To stop the fuel pump during operation of the SRS airbag.
Oxygen Sensor Heater
ControlMaintains the temperature of the oxygen sensors at an appropriate level to
increase accuracy of detection of the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas.
Evaporative Emission
Control

The ECM controls the purge flow of evaporative emissions (HC) in the
charcoal canister in accordance with engine conditions.

Using 3 VSVs and a vapor pressure sensor, the ECM detects any
evaporative emission leakage occurring between the fuel tank and the
charcoal canister, and vapor reducing fuel tank through the changes in the
tank pressure. For details, see page 79.
Toyota HCAC System
The ECM controls the VSV (for Toyota HCAC System) to improve the clean
emission performance of the exhaust gas when the temperature of the TWC
is low. For details, see page 58.
Air Conditioning
Cut-Off ControlBy turning the air conditioning compressor OFF in accordance with the
engine condition, drivability is maintained.
Cooling Fan ControlRadiator cooling fan operation is controlled by signals from ECM based on
the engine coolant temperature sensor signal (THW).
HV Immobiliser
Prohibits fuel delivery, ignition, and starting the HV system if an attempt is
made to start the HV system with an invalid ignition key. For details, see page
80.
DiagnosisWhen the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM diagnoses and memorizes
the failed section.
Fail-SafeWhen the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM stops or controls the engine
according to the data already stored in memory.

INVERTER
1. General
The inverter is an electric power converter that
converts the direct current of the Hybrid vehicle's
high-voltage battery (DC 273.6 V) and the alter-
nating current of the MG1 and MG2.
Consisting of 2 three-phase bridge circuits for
MG1 and MG2, respectively, and each containing
6 power transistors, the inverter converts direct
current and three-phase alternating current. The ac-
tivation of the power transistors is controlled by the
HV ECU. In addition, the inverter transmits in-
formation that is needed for current control, such as
the output amperage or voltage, to the HV ECU.
Together with MG1 and MG2, the inverter is
cooled by the dedicated radiator of the coolant
system that is separate from that of the engine.

3. Cooling System
A cooling system via water pump for the inverter
and MG1, 2 has been added.
The HV ECU controls the water pump with cool-
ant temperature.
It is separated with the engine cooling system.

PTC heaters have been provided in the air
duct at the footwell outlet in front of the air
conditioning unit. However, air condition-
ing without the PTC heaters is offered as an
option on the U.S.A. models.
This PTC heater, which is a honeycomb-
shaped PTC thermistor, directly warms the
air that flows in the duct.

6. Air Conditioning ECU
General
An automatic control type air conditioning has been adopted. This system uses an air conditioning ECU
to perform the calculation of the required outlet air temperature control, temperature control, blower con-
trol, air inlet control, air outlet control, and compressor control.
The information that is necessary for effecting the controls are the signals from the room temperature
sensor, evaporator temperature sensor, and solar sensor that are directly transmitted to the air condition-
ing ECU, and the signals from the ambient temperature sensor and the engine coolant temperature sensor
that are transmitted via the ECM. These signals are calculated by the air conditioning ECU to effect the
proper control.
