IVT CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE
Specification data are reference values and are measured between each terminal and ground.
CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-
age to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.
: Average voltage for pulse signal (Actual pulse signal can be confirmed by oscilloscope.)
Diagnostic ProcedureEBS00KLO
1. CHECK IVT CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE OVERALL FUNCTION CHECK
1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2. Turn ignition switch “OFF” and wait at least 10 seconds.
3. Turn ignition switch “ON”.
4. Set the tester probe between ECM terminals 62 (IVT control solenoid valve signal) and ground.
5. Start engine and let it idle.
6. Check the voltage under the following conditions.
Verify that the oscilloscope screen shows the signal wave as
shown below.

The amount of fuel injected under normal driving conditions is determinedaccording to sensor signals. The
crankshaft position sensor (TDC) detects engine speed and the accelerator position sensor detects accelera-
tor position. These sensors send signals to the ECM.
The fuel injection data, predetermined by correlation between various engine speeds and accelerator positions,
are stored in the ECM memory, forming a map. The ECM determines the optimal amount of fuel to be injected
using the sensor signals in comparison with the map.

The maximum injection amount is controlled to an optimum by the engine speed, intake air amount, engine
coolant temperature, and accelerator opening in accordance with the driving conditions.
This prevents the oversupply of the injection amount caused by decreased air density at a high altitude or
during a system failure.

The ECM sends a fuel cut signal to the electronic control fuel injection pump during deceleration for better
fuel efficiency. The ECM determines the time of deceleration according tosignals from the accelerator posi-
tion switch and crankshaft position sensor (TDC).
Fuel Injection Timing Control System
DESCRIPTIONNJEC0613The target fuel injection timing in accordance with the engine speed and the fuel injection amount are recorded
as a map in the ECM beforehand. The ECM and the injection pump control unit exchange signals and per-
form feedback control for optimum injection timing in accordance with themap.

2. Disconnect the fuel hoses from the fuel injection pump.
3. Disconnect the harness connector from the fuel injection
pump.
Disconnect the connector by pulling the connector stopper
fully.
When the stopper is fully pulled, the connector will be discon-
nected together. For installation, push the connector half way
first, then press the stopper until it locks, so that the connec-
tor is connected together.
4. Remove the fuel injection pump rear bracket.

5. Remove the front chain case.
Move the power steering fluid reservoir tank from the bracket.
Loosen and remove the mounting bolts in the reverse order of
the numbers shown in the figure.
As for bolts 6, 10, and 11, remove with rubber washer because
there is not enough space for removing only the bolts.
CAUTION:
To prevent foreign objects from getting in the engine, cover
the opening during the removal of the front chain case.

6. Adjust the No. 1 cylinder to the top dead center position.
Turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise, then align the alignment
mark (punched mark) of the camshaft sprocket to the position
shown in the figure.
There is no indicator on the crankshaft pulley.
It is not necessary to mark the secondary timing chain for
removal because it can be matched by the link color for instal-
lation. However, the alignment mark on the fuel injection pump
sprocket is difficult to see; mark it if necessary.

7. Remove the chain tensioner.
a. Push the plunger of the chain tensioner, then fix it with a tool
such as a push pin.
JEF355Y
b. Using the hexagon wrench (face to face: 5 mm) (SST), remove
the mounting bolts, then remove the chain tensioner.
A multi-purpose tool may also be used.
