List of Component Functions
NameFunction
ECU
Engine-ECU or engine-CVT-ECU The signals that are input by the sensors enable the
actuators to be controlled in accordance with the
driving conditions.
Sensors
Ignition switch-IGThis signal indicates the ON/OFF condition of the
ignition switch. When this signal is input, the
engine-ECU or engine-CVT-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 or
engine-CVT-ECU controls the fuel injection,
throttle valve position, and the injection timing that
are suited for starting the engine.
Manifold absolute pressure sensor Uses a pressure conversion element to detect the
pressure in the intake manifold, converts it into a
voltage signal, and outputs it to the
engine-ECU or engine-CVT-ECU. The
engine-ECU or engine-CVT-ECU
optimally corrects the fuel injection amount and the
like based on this signal.
Oxygen sensor This sensor, which contains zirconia and platinum
electrodes, detects the level of oxygen concentration
in the exhaust gases. The engine-ECU or
engine-CVT-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 or engine-CVT-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
or engine-CVT-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
or engine-CVT-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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
MULTIPOINT FUEL INJECTION (MPI) <4A9>13A-7
Throttle position sensor This sensor detects the position of the throttle valve
and inputs it into the engine-ECU or
engine-CVT-ECU . Based on the voltage that
is output by this sensor, the engine-ECU or
engine-CVT-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 or
engine-CVT-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 or engine-CVT-ECU
effects appropriate fuel injection and throttle valve
position controls.
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 or engine-CVT-ECU .
The engine-ECU or engine-CVT-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 or
engine-CVT-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.
Inhibitor switch This is a contact point type switch that inputs a signal
into the engine-CVT-ECU to determine whether the
shift lever is in the neutral position.
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
or engine-CVT-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 or engine-CVT-ECU .
InjectorThe injectors inject fuel in accordance with the
injection signals received from the engine-ECU
or engine-CVT-ECU .
Ignition coil (with power transistor)Applies ignition coil primary current intermittently in
accordance with the ignition signals received from
the engine-ECU or engine-CVT-ECU ,
in order to generate high voltage for ignition.
