GENERAL INFORMATION
MULTIPOINT FUEL INJECTION (MPI) <4G1>13B-5
List of Component Functions
ECU
NameFunction
Engine-ECUThe signals that are input by the sensors enable the
actuators to be controlled in accordance with the
driving conditions.
Sensor
Ignition switch-IGThis signal indicates the ON/OFF condition of the
ignition switch. When this signal is input, the
engine-ECU supplies power to the crank angle
sensor, camshaft position sensor, etc.
Ignition switch-STThis signal indicates that the engine is cranking.
Based on this signal, the engine-ECU controls the
fuel injection, throttle valve position, and the injection
timing that are suited for starting the engine.
Air flow sensor This signal, which indicates the intake air flow rate
(mass), is input into the engine-ECU. Based on the
signals from this sensor, the engine-ECU effects fuel
injection control.
Oxygen sensor This sensor, which contains zirconia and platinum
electrodes, detects the level of oxygen concentration
in the exhaust gases. The engine-ECU determines
whether the air-fuel ratio is at the optimal
stoichiometric ratio in accordance with this oxygen
concentration level.
Barometric pressure sensorThis sensor detects the altitude of the vehicle. It
enables the engine-ECU to make fuel injection
volume corrections in order to achieve an appropriate
air-fuel ratio.
Intake air temperature sensorThis sensor, which contains a thermistor, detects the
temperature of the intake air. The engine-ECU
makes fuel injection volume corrections that suit the
intake air temperature, in accordance with the
voltage that is output by this sensor.
Engine coolant temperature sensorThis sensor, which contains a thermistor, detects the
temperature of the engine coolant. The engine-ECU
determines the warm-up condition of the engine in
accordance with the voltage that is output by this
sensor, in order to control the fuel injection volume,
idle speed, and ignition timing.
Throttle position sensor This sensor detects the position of the throttle valve
and inputs it into the engine-ECU. Based on the
voltage that is output by this sensor, the engine-ECU
effects throttle valve feedback control.
Accelerator pedal position sensor This sensor detects the position of the accelerator
and inputs it into the engine-ECU. Based on the
voltage that is output by this sensor, which
determines the accelerator position (and the intention
of the driver), the engine-ECU effects appropriate
fuel injection and throttle valve position controls.

WASTE GATE CONTROL
MULTIPOINT FUEL INJECTION (MPI) <4G1>13B-11
WASTE GATE CONTROL
M2132013000078
Turbo pressure used in the waste gate actuator is
controlled by duty control of the waste gate solenoid
valve. As a result, turbo pressure corresponding to
driving conditions can be obtained.

•Items useful for grasping the engine control condition by the engine-ECU are provided in this monitor item
section.
•Values of these monitor items vary greatly depending on marginal difference of measurement conditions,
difference of the environment, aged deterioration of vehicl es and so on, and it is difficult to show the pre
-
cise specification values. Therefore, check conditions, display range and movement of values are

COMBINATION METER
CHASSIS ELECTRICAL54A-10
COMBINATION METER
M2540005000894
The combination meter features large, clearly visible
analogue indicators. The meter has the speedometer
in the middle, the coolant temperature gauge at
upper right, the fuel gauge at lower right, and the
tachometer at left so that drivers can easily distin
-
guish the information from the meters. The combina-
tion meter offers the following advantages.
•The combination meter is used for air conditioner
and meter drive control to integrate ECU.
•CAN communication is used for more reliable
transmission of all gauge data and indicator lamp
input signals, such as vehicle speed, engine
RPM, and coolant temperature. For further
details on CAN, refer to GROUP 54C, CAN
P.54C-2. The signals that the combination meter
uses are described in the CAN communications
input signals table
.
•Several diagnosis functions such as the diagno-
sis code memory and actuator tests are prepared
in order to improve serviceability.
•For a brighter display at night and for a longer
useful life, all indicator lamps, warning lamps, and
illumination bulbs use LEDs.
•The indicators for the speedometer, fuel gauge,
and other gauges are driven by a stepping motor.
For further details, consult the stepping motor
section
.
•The electronic speedometer operates by receiv-
ing vehicle speed signals sent by the
engine-ECU or engine-CVT-ECU
via the CAN.
•A large and clear LCD type odo-tripmeter is pro-
vided. The odometer continuously displays val-
ues while the tripmeter adopts a twin-trip (trip A,
trip B) function which is switched by a reset but
-
ton. In addition, clock function is incorporated.
•A fog lamp indicator lamp is provided to let the
driver know that the fog lamp is on.
•A seat belt warning lamp is installed to encourage
the driver to fasten the seat belt.
•The high-contrast meter is adopted. When the
ignition is turned ON, such as the needles and
face display are illuminated with fade-in lighting
by the LED light source.
•To further accentuate the high-contrast lighting,
the light of the high-contrast meter fades in and
fades out when the light is turned on and off
respectively.
•With the auto illumination function incorporated in
the high-contrast meter, a two-stage switching of
daytime (non-dimming) and nighttime (dimming)
is achieved. Also, the brightness can be adjusted
using the illumination control knob.
•A tail lamp indicator lamp is installed which
informs the lighting status of the tail lamps to the
driver.
