GENERAL INFORMATION
MULTIPOINT FUEL INJECTION (MPI) <4G1>13B-6
Camshaft position sensorThis sensor detects the top-dead-center (TDC) of the 
compression stroke of each cylinder.
Crank angle sensorThis sensor detects the crank angle and inputs it into 
the engine-ECU. The engine-ECU effects injector 
control and other controls in accordance with the 
signals received from this sensor.
Detonation sensorThis sensor, which contains a piezoelectric element, 
detects the vibration of the cylinder block that results 
from knocking. The engine-ECU detects only the 
knocking of the engine from these vibrations, in order 
to retard the ignition timing in accordance with the 
strength of the knocks.
Alternator FR terminalThis terminal is used for detecting the duty cycle ratio 
that energizes the alternator field coil.
Stop lamp switchThis is a contact point type switch that detects how 
the brake pedal is depressed.
Actuators
Engine control relayThis relay turns ON and OFF the engine-ECU power 
circuit.
Throttle valve control servo relayThis relay turns ON and OFF the actuation power 
circuit for the throttle valve control servo in the 
engine-ECU.
InjectorThe injectors inject fuel in accordance with the 
injection signals received from the engine-ECU.
Ignition coil (with power transistor)Applies ignition coil primary current intermittently in 
accordance with the ignition signals received from 
the engine-ECU, in order to generate high voltage for 
ignition.
Fuel pump relayControls the power supplied to the fuel pump in 
accordance with the signals received from the 
engine-ECU.
A/C compressor relayControls the operation of the A/C compressor in 
accordance with the signals received from the 
engine-ECU.
Purge control solenoid valveControls the flow rate of the purge air introduced into 
the inlet manifold in accordance with the signals 
received from the engine-ECU.
Alternator G terminalControls the amount of current generated by the 
alternator in accordance with the signals received 
from the engine-ECU.
Cooling fan control relayControls the speed of the cooling fan in accordance 
with the signals received from the engine-ECU.
Throttle valve control servoControls the throttle valve position in accordance with 
the signals received from the engine-ECU.

GENERAL INFORMATION
M2160000100038
The electronic device is basically the same as that in 
the conventional 4G1 engine.
The employed alternator is a lightweight type in 
which the electronic voltage regulator for detecting 
the battery voltage is built.
The employed starter motor is a small planetary gear 
reduction drive type.
The employed spark plug is a long reach type with 
iridium.
The employed ignition coil is a plug top type in which 
the powertrain per cylinder is built.

ENGINE
M2000020000579
<4A9>
The newly-developed 4A9 engine has been installed 
to realise small-size, light-weight, high-performance, 
and better fuel economy with the state-of-the-art 
technologies such as the aluminium die-cast cylinder 
block, direct attack driven-type DOHC MIVEC, timing 
chain-type cam drive, and rear exhaust.
