INITIAL CHECK
ABS-ECU inter nally activates the self-d iagno stic 
function. ABS-ECU illuminates
 ABS  warning l a mp  for 
3 seconds (in
c lu ding  the in itia l check) 
* after th e ign i-
tion switch is turned  ON. If a n y malf unction is 
detected, ABS-ECU cont
inues illuminating ABS 
war
n ing  lamp and disables ABS cont rol.
NOTE: *: ABS warning lamp may st ay ON af ter the 
ignition 
switch is turned  ON un til t he st artu p ve hicle 
spee
d reaches  approximately 10km/h .  As far  as 
ABS-ECU memorizes  any d i agn osis code related t o  
the 
whee l  speed sen s or malfunct i on record ed  d u ring 
previous ignition ON st atus, ABS-ECU continues illu

mina ting  ABS warn ing lamp  until it verif i es that th e 
malfunct

STARTUP CHECK
When th e st artup  veh i cle sp eed re ache s app roxi-
mately 10 km/h, ABS-ECU performs the following 
checks.
•Motor,  solen o id valve check (onl y i n  ini t ial  st ar-

Operat es  the motor relay in ECU  and checks  the 
pump motor op eratio n. At the  same time, 
ABS-ECU sequentially e nergizes each solenoid 
valve in a ve ry sh ort perio d and ch ecks the   valve

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.

IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
CHASSIS ELECTRICAL54A-5
IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
M2540003000490
The engine immobilizer system prevents the engine 
from starting and immobilizes the vehicle if a key 
other than the key registered for that vehicle is used 
in an attempt to start the engine after forced entry. 
The engine immobilizer system consists of the igni
-
tion key, key ring antenna, immobilizer-ECU, 
engine-ECU  and engine-CVT-ECU . It 
works in the following way and has these functions.
1. With the ignition key turned ON, the transponder 
(a small transmitter) integrated in the ignition key 
transmits its own encrypted code to the ring 
antenna via radio wave. 
2. According to the sent encrypted code, the immo-
bilizer-ECU controls the engine-ECU  or 
engine-CVT-ECU  only when the sent 
encrypted code agrees with the pre-registered 
one.
3. The system is designed to be maintenance-free because the power source for the transponder is 
supplied by the immobi lizer-ECU. Three ignition 
keys are provided, and up to eight keys can be 
registered to one vehicle as needed. More than 
one trillion of encrypted code combinations can 
be registered, and parts of them are irregularly 
changed whenever the ignition key is turned ON. 
This feature prevents code copying, resulting in 
higher security of the system.

Immobilizer-ECU with an 
antenna•Supplies electrical power to the transponder integrated in the ignition key, 
and transmits random number data.
•Verifies the encrypted code which is sent from the transponder. If the code 
is correct, it sends an engine mobili zation signal to the engine-ECU  
or engine-CVT-ECU . 
TransponderIs power-supplied by the immobilizer-ECU. When the transponder receives 
random number data, it processes it an d the encrypted code. Then it transmits 
the process result to the immobilizer-ECU.
Engine-ECU  or 
engine-CVT-ECU Starts the engine, and then continues the engine running if an engine 
mobilization signal is co nfirmed. If an engine immobilization signal is 
confirmed, the ECU cancels the engine control and stops the engine.
