Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Secondary HO2S)
The secondary HO2S detects the oxygen content in the
exhaust gas downstream of the three way catalytic
converter (TWC) and sends signals to the ECM which
checks the efficiency of the TWC. To stabilize its output,
the sensor has an internal heater. The secondarv HO2S
is installed in the TWC.

Starting Control
When the engine is started, the ECM provides a rich
mixture by increasing injector duration.
Throttle Position ITP) Sensor
The TP sensor is a potentiometer connected to the
throttle valve shaft. As the throttle position changes, the
sensor varies the signal voltage to the ECM. The TP
sensor is not replaceable apart from the throftle body.

Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
The VSS is driven by the differential. lt generates apulsed signal from an input of 5 volts. The number ofpulses per minute increases/decreases with the speed
of the vehicle.
BEARING

wEc/wc
The i-WEC has a VTC (Variable Valve Timing Control) mechanism on the intake camshaft in addition to the usual
VTEC.
This mechanism improves fuel efficiency and reduces exhaust emissions at all Ievels of engine speed, vehicle speed.
and engine load.
The VTEC mechanism changes the valve lift and timing by using more than one cam profile.
The VTC changes the phase of the intake camshaft via oil pressure. lt changes the intake valve timing continuously.

ldle Control System
When the engine is cold, the Ay'C compressor is on, the
transmission is in gear, the brake pedal is pressed. thepower steering load is high, or the alternator is
charging, the ECIM controls current to the ldle Air
Control (lAC) valve to maintain the correct idle speed.
Refer to the System Diagram to see the functional
layout of the system.
Brake Pedal Position Switch
The brake pedal position switch signals the ECM when
the brake pedal is oressed.
Electrical Power Steering (EPS) Senser
The EPS sensor signals the ECM when the power
steering load is high.
ldle Air Control llACl Valve
To maintain the proper idle speed, the IAC valve
changes the amount of air bypassing the throttle body
in response to an electrical signal from the ECM.

Fuel Supply System
Fuel Cut-off Control
During deceleration with the throttle valve closed,
current to the injectors is cut off to improve fuel
economy at engine speeds over 1,030 rpm. Fuel cut-off
action also occurs when engine speed exceeds
6,900 rpm, regardless of the position of the throttle
valve, to protect the engine from over-rewing. When
the vehicle is stopped. the ECM cuts the fuel at engine
speeds over 6,500 rpm.
Fuel Pump Control
When the ignition is turned on, the ECM grounds the
PGM-Fl main relay which feeds current to the fuel pump
for 2 seconds to pressurize the fuel system, With the
engine running. the ECM grounds the PGM-Fl main
relay and feeds current to the fuel pump. When the
engine is not running and the ignition is on, the ECI\4
cuts ground to the PGM-Fl main relay which cuts
current to the fuel pump.
PGM-FI Main Relay 1 and 2
The PGM-Fl main relay consists of two separate relays.
Relay 1 is energized whenever the ignition switch is ON(ll) to supply battery voltage to the ECM power to the
injectors, and power for relay, Relay 2 is energized to
supply power to the fuel pump for 2 seconds when the
ignition switch is turned ON (ll), and when the engine is
runnrng.

Intake Air System

layout of the system.
Intake Air Bypass Control Thermal Valve
When the engine is running, the intake air bypass
control thermal valve sends air to the iniectors,
INJECTOR
Throttle Body
The throttle body is a single-barrel side draft type. lt
houses the TP senser and the IAC valve. The lower

System
Refer to the System Diagram to see the functional

EVAP Canister
The EVAP canister temporarily stores fuel vapor from
the fuel tank until it can be purged back into the engine
and burned.
EVAP Canister Purge Valve
When the engine coolant temperatu re is below 149'F(65'C), the ECM turns off the EVAP canister purge valve
which cuts vacuum to the EVAP canister.
FuelTank Pressure (FTP) Sensor
The FTP sensor converts fueltank absolute pressure
into an electrical inputto the ECM during the EVAP leak
cnecK.
SENSOR UNIT
EVAP Two Way Valve and EVAP Eyp8s Solenoid
Valve
The EVAP two way valve is installed between the fuel
tank and the EVAP canister line.
The EVAP two way valve sends fuel vapor to the EVAP
canister corresponding to the pressure inside the tuel
tank. lt also relieves excess vacuum in the tank by
allowing fresh air to be drawn into the tank through the
EVAP canister.
The EVAP bypass solenoid valve opens to bypass the
two way valve during the EVAP leak check.
