4. Cylinder Block
Lightweight aluminum alloy is used for the cylinder block.
By producing the thin cast-iron liners and cylinder block as a unit, compaction is realized.
Air passage holes are provided in the crankshaft bearing area of the cylinder block. As a result, the air at
the bottom of the cylinder flows smoother, and pumping loss (back pressure at the bottom of the piston
generated by the piston’s reciprocal movement) is reduced to improve the engine’s output.
The oil filter and the air conditioning compressor brackets are integrated into the crankcase. Also, the
water pump swirl chamber and thermostat housing are integrated into the cylinder block.

SERPENTINE BELT DRIVE SYSTEM
1. General
Accessory components are driven by a serpentine belt consisting of a single V-ribbed belt. It reduces the
overall engine length, weight and the number of engine parts.
An automatic tensioner eliminates the need for tension adjustment.
2. Automatic Tensioner
The automatic tensioner consists of an idler pulley and a tensioner. The idler pulley maintains belt tension
by the force of the spring that is located in the tensioner.

ControlMaintains the temperature of the air-fuel ratio sensor or oxygen sensor at an
appropriate level to realize accuracy of detection of the oxygen concentration in
the exhaust gas.
Air Conditioning
Cut-off ControlBy turning the air conditioning compressor ON or OFF in accordance with the
engine condition, drivability is maintained.
Cooling Fan Control
(See page EG-52)Radiator cooling fan operation is controlled by signals from ECM based on the
engine coolant temperature sensor signal and the condition of the air
conditioning operation.
Fuel Pump Control
(See page EG-53)Fuel pump operation is controlled by signal from the ECM.
The fuel pump is stopped when the SRS driver’s and front passenger’s airbags
are deployed.
Evapotative Emission
The ECM controls the purge flow of evaporative emissions (HC) in the canister
in accordance with engine conditions.
Evapotative Emission
Control
(See page EG-54)Approximately five hours after the ignition switch has been turned OFF, the
ECM operates the canister pump module to detect any evaporative emission
leakage occurring in the EVAP (evaporative emission) control system through
changes in the 0.02 in. leak pressure.
Charging Control
(See page EG-65)The ECM regulates the charging voltage of the generator in accordance with the
driving conditions and the charging state of the battery.

6. ETCS-i (Electronic Throttle Control System-intelligent)
General
The ETCS-i is used, providing excellent throttle control in all the operating ranges. In the 2AZ-FE
engine, the accelerator cable has been discontinued, and an accelerator pedal position sensor has been
provided on the accelerator pedal.
In the conventional throttle body, the throttle valve opening is determined by the amount of the
accelerator pedal effort. In contrast, the ETCS-i uses the ECM to calculate the optimal throttle valve
opening that is appropriate for the respective driving condition and uses a throttle control motor to control
the opening.
The ETCS-i controls the IAC (Idle Air Control) system, the TRAC (Traction Control), VSC (Vehicle
Stability Control) system and curise control system.
In case of an abnormal condition, this system switches to the limp mode.

Construction
1) Throttle Position Sensor
The throttle position sensor is mounted on the throttle body, to detect the opening angle of the throttle
valve.
2) Throttle Control Motor
A DC motor with excellent response and minimal power consumption is used for the throttle control
motor. The ECM performs the duty ratio control of the direction and the amperage of the current that
flows to the throttle control motor in order to regulate the opening of the throttle valve.
Operation
1) General
The ECM drives the throttle control motor by determining the target throttle valve opening in accordance
with the respective operating condition.

2) Normal Throttle Control (Non-linear Control)
It controls the throttle to an optimal throttle valve opening that is appropriate for the driving condition
such as the amount of the accelerator pedal effort and the engine speed in order to realize excellent throttle
control and comfort in all operating ranges.
Control Examples During Acceleration and Deceleration
3) Idle Air Control
The ECM controls the throttle valve in order to constantly maintain an ideal idle speed.
4) TRAC Throttle Control
As part of the TRAC system, the throttle valve is closed by a demand signal from the skid control ECU
if an excessive amount of slippage is created at a driving wheel, thus facilitating the vehicle in providing
excellent stability and driving force.
5) VSC Coordination Control
In order to bring the effectiveness of the VSC system control into full play, the throttle valve opening
angle is controlled by effecting a coordination control with the skid control ECU.
6) Cruise Control
An ECM with an integrated cruise control ECU directly actuates the throttle valve for operation of the
cruise control.

7. VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) System
General
The VVT-i system is designed to control the intake camshaft within a range of 40 (of Crankshaft Angle)
to provide valve timing that is optimally suited to the engine condition. This realizes proper torque in
all the speed ranges as well as realizing excellent fuel economy, and reducing exhaust emissions.
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 can calculate 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 crankshaft position sensor to detect the actual valve timing,
thus providing feedback control to achieve the target valve timing.
