1. Cylinder Head

The angle of the intake and exhaust valves is narrowed and set at 33.5 to permit a compact cylinder head.

As a result of installing the injector in the intake port of the cylinder head, the contact of the fuel against
the intake port wall has been minimized and fuel economy has been improved.

A water jacket has been provided between the exhaust port and the spark plug boss in order to maintain
the combustion chamber wall temperature uniform, thus improving the cooling performance of the com-
bustion chamber and the area around the spark plug.

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.

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.

MG1 AND MG2 (MOTOR GENERATOR NO.1 AND NO.2)
DESCRIPTION
Both the MG1 and the MG2 are compact, lightweight, and highly efficient alternating current permanent
magnet synchronous type.
Serving as the source of supplemental motive force that provides power assistance to the engine as needed,
the electric motor helps the vehicle achieve excellent dynamic performance, including smooth start-offs
and acceleration. When the regenerative brake is activated, MG2 converts the vehicle's kinetic energy into
electrical energy, which is then stored in the HV battery.
MG1 recharges the HV battery and supplies electrical power to drive MG2. In addition, by regulating the
amount of electrical power generated (thus varying the generator's rpm), MG1 effectively controls the
continuously variable transmission function of the transaxle. MG1 also serves as the starter to start the
engine.

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.

CONVERTER
1. General
The power source for auxiliary equipment of the
vehicle such as the lights, audio system, and the air
conditioner cooling fan, as well as the ECUs, is
based on a 12 V system. Because the THS genera-
tor outputs at 273.6 V, the converter is used to
transform the voltage from DC273.6 V to DC 12
V in order to recharge the auxiliary battery. The
converter is installed on the underside of the in-
verter.
2. Operation

The DC273.6 V input is initially converted into alternating current by the transistor bridge circuit and
transformed into a low voltage by the transformer. After this, the current is rectified, smoothed (into direct
current) and converted into DC12 V.

The voltage at the positive terminal of the auxiliary battery is monitored by the converter and is maintained
at a constant level. Consequently, the voltage of the auxiliary battery is unrelated to the engine rpm (even
if the engine is stopped) and to the auxiliary equipment (output current of converter).
