Air-fuel Ratio Sensor and Heated Oxygen Sensor
The planar type air-fuel ratio sensor and the cup type heated oxygen sensor are used. For details, see page
EG-37.
6. SFI (Sequential Multiport Fuel Injection) System
An L-type SFI system directly detects the intake air mass with a hot wire type mass air flow meter.
An independent injection system (in which fuel is injected once into each cylinder for each two revolution
of the crankshaft) is used.
There are two (synchronous and non-synchronous) injections:
a) The synchronous injection in which corrections based on the signals from the sensors are added to the
basic injection time so that injection occurs always at the same position.
b) The non-synchronous injection in which injection is effected by detecting the requests from the signals
of the sensors regardless of the crankshaft angle.
Furthermore, to protect the engine and achieve lower fuel consumption, the system uses a fuel cutoff in
which the injection of fuel is stopped temporarily in accordance with the driving conditions.
This system performs group injection when the engine coolant temperature is extremely low and the
engine is operating at a low speed.
7. ESA (Electronic Spark Advance) System
This system selects the optimal ignition timing in accordance with the signals received from the sensors and
sends the (IGT) ignition signal to the igniter.

9. Dual VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) System
General
The Dual VVT-i system is designed to control the intake and exhaust camshafts within a range of 40
and 35 respectively (of Crankshaft Angle) to provide valve timing that is optimally suited to the engine
condition. This improves torque in all the speed ranges as well as increasing fuel economy, and reducing
exhaust emissions.
*: Oil Control Valve
Using the engine speed signal, vehicle speed signal, and the signals from mass air flow meter, throttle
position sensor and engine coolant temperature sensor, the ECM calculates optimal valve timing for each
driving condition and controls the camshaft timing oil control valve. In addition, the ECM uses signals
from the camshaft position sensor and the crankshaft position sensor to detect the actual valve timing,
thus providing feedback control to achieve the target valve timing.

12. Cooling Fan Control System
General
A cooling fan control system is used. To achieve an optimal fan speed in accordance with the engine coolant
temperature, vehicle speed, engine speed, and air conditioning operating conditions, the ECM calculates
the proper fan speed and sends the signals to the front controller. By receiving the signals from the ECM,
the front controller sends proper fan speed control signals to the cooling fan ECU.
Upon receiving the signals from the front controller, the cooling fan ECU actuates the fan motors.

Operation
As illustrated below, the ECM determines the required fan speed by selecting the fastest fan speed from
among the following:
(A) Fan speed required by the engine coolant temperature
(B) Fan speed required by the air conditioning refrigerant pressure
(C) Fan speed required by the engine speed
(D) Fan speed required by the vehicle speed

stored in the memory.

If ETCS-i (Electronic Throttle Control
System-intelligent) has a malfunction, ECM
cuts off current to throttle control motor.
Throttle control valve returns to predetermined
opening angle (approximately 6.5
) by force of
return spring. ECM then adjusts engine output
by controlling fuel injection (intermittent
fuel-cut) and ignition timing in accordance with
accelerator pedal opening angel to enable
vehicle to continue driving at minimal speed. If
accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and
slowly, vehicle can be driven slowly. If
accelerator pedal is depressed quickly, vehicle
may speed up and slow down erratically.If “Pass” condition is detected and
then the ignition switch is turned
OFF, fail-safe operation will stop
and system will return to normal
operating conditions.

Accelerator pedal position sensor has two (main
and sub) sensor circuits. If a malfunction occurs
in either of sensor circuits, ECM detects
abnormal signal voltage difference between two
sensor circuits and switches into limp mode. In
limp mode, remaining circuit is used to calculate
accelerator pedal opening to allow vehicle to
continue driving. If both circuits malfunction,
ECM regards opening angle of accelerator pedal
to be fully closed. In this case, throttle valve will
remain closed as if engine is idling.
If “Pass” condition is detected and
then the ignition switch is turned
OFF, fail-safe operation will stop
and system will return to normal
operating conditions.
