ENGINE - 2AZ-FE ENGINE EG-30
ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
1. General
The engine control system for the 2AZ-FE engine has the following systems.
System
Outline
SFI
Sequential Multiport
Fuel InjectionAn L-type SFI system directly detects the intake air volume with a hot-wire
type mass air flow meter.
The fuel injection system is a sequential multiport fuel injection system.
ESA
Electronic Spark
AdvanceIgnition timing is determined by the ECM based on signals from various sensors.
The ECM corrects ignition timing in response to engine knocking.
ETCS-i
Electronic
Optimally controls the throttle valve opening in accordance with the amount of
accelerator pedal effort and the condition of the engine and the vehicle.
Electronic
Throttle Control
System-intelligent
(See page-43)A linkless-type is used, without an accelerator cable.
An accelerator pedal position sensor is provided on the accelerator pedal.
A non-contact type throttle position sensor and accelerator pedal position
sensor are used.
VVT-i
Va r i a b l e Va l v e
Timing-intelligent
(See page EG-48)
Controls the intake camshaft to an optimal valve timing in accordance with the
engine condition.
Air-fuel Ratio
Sensor, Oxygen
Sensor Heater
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.

manual supplement.
• Following the maintenance schedule is mandatory.
• Determine the appropriate time to service the vehicle
using either miles driven or time elapsed, whichever
reaches the specification first.
• Maintain similar intervals between periodic
maintenance, unless otherwise noted.

FREEZE FRAME DATA
1. DESCRIPTION
Freeze frame data records the engine conditions (fuel
system, calculated load, engine coolant temperature,
fuel trim, engine speed, vehicle speed, etc.) when a
malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it can
help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, the
engine was warmed up or not, the air-fuel ratio was Lean
or Rich, and other data from the time the malfunction
occurred.
HINT:
If it is impossible to duplicate the problem even though a
DTC is detected, confirm the freeze frame data.
The ECM records engine conditions in the form of freeze
frame data every 0.5 seconds. Using the intelligent
tester, 5 separate sets of freeze frame data can be
checked.
– 3 data sets before the DTC was set.
– 1 data set when the DTC was set.
– 1 data set after the DTC was set.
These data sets can be used to simulate the condition
of the vehicle around the time of the occurrence of the
malfunction. The data may assist in identifying the
cause of the malfunction, and in judging whether it
was temporary or not.

3. 2 TRIP DETECTION LOGIC
When a malfunction is first detected, the malfunction is
temporarily stored in the ECM memory (1st trip). If the
same malfunction is detected during the next
subsequent drive cycle, the MIL is illuminated (2nd trip).
4. FREEZE FRAME DATA
Freeze frame data records the engine conditions (fuel
system, calculated engine load, engine coolant
temperature, fuel trim, engine speed, vehicle speed,
etc.) when malfunctions are detected. When
troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if
the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was
warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich,
and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
5. DLC3 (Data Link Connector 3)
NOTICE:
*: Before measuring the resistance, leave the vehicle
as is for at least 1 minute and do not operate the
ignition switch, any other switches or the doors.
If the result is not as specified, the DLC3 may have a
malfunction. Repair or replace the harness and
connector.
HINT:
The DLC3 is the interface prepared for reading various
data from the vehicle's ECM. After connecting the cable
of the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM, turn the ignition
switch ON and turn the tester ON. If a communication
failure message is displayed on the tester screen (on the
tester: UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE), a
problem exists in either the vehicle or tester. In order to
identify the location of the problem, connect the tester to
another vehicle.

MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN
1. TEST MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN FOR ECT
CAUTION:
Perform this drive pattern on a level surface and
strictly observe the posted speed limits and traffic
laws while driving.
HINT:
Performing this drive pattern is one method to simulate
the ECT's malfunction detection conditions.
The DTCs may not be detected through ordinary,
everyday driving. Also, DTCs may not be detected
through this drive pattern.
(a) Preparation for driving
(1) Warm up the engine sufficiently (engine coolant
temperature is 60
C (140F) or higher).
(2) Drive the vehicle when the atmospheric
temperature is -10
C (14F) or higher.
Malfunction is not detected when the
atmospheric temperature is less than -10
C
(14
F).
(b) Drive pattern
(1) Drive the vehicle through all the gears.
St o p
1st 2nd 3rd O/D O/D (lock-up
ON).
(2) Repeat the above drive pattern 3 times or more.
NOTICE:
• When using the intelligent tester, the
monitor status can be found in
"ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST" or under
"CARB OBD II".
• In the event that the drive pattern must be
interrupted (due to traffic conditions or
other factors), the drive pattern can be
resumed and, in most cases, the monitor
can be completed.
CAUTION:
Perform this drive pattern on a level road as
much as possible and strictly observe the
posted speed limits and traffic laws while
driving.

4. FREEZE FRAME DATA
(a) Freeze frame data records the engine conditions
(fuel system, calculated load, engine coolant
temperature, fuel trim, engine speed, vehicle speed,
etc.) when a malfunction is detected. When
troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help
determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if
the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio
was lean or rich, and other data from the time the
malfunction occurred.
(b) The intelligent tester records freeze frame data in 5
different instances: 1) 3 times before the DTC is set,
2) once when the DTC is set, and 3) once after the
DTC is set. These data can be used to simulate the
vehicle's condition around the time when the
malfunction occurred. The data may help find the
cause of the malfunction, or judge if the DTC is
being caused by a temporary malfunction or not.
5. DATA LINK CONNECTOR 3 (DLC3)
(a) The vehicle's ECM uses the ISO 15765-4 for
communication protocol. The terminal arrangement
of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches
the ISO 15765-4 format.
HINT:
*: Before measuring the resistance, leave the vehicle as is for
at least 1 minute and do not operate the ignition switch, other
switches or doors.
If the result is not as specified, the DLC3 may have a
malfunction. Repair or replace the harness and connector.
HINT:
Connect the cable of the intelligent tester to the DLC3, turn
the ignition switch ON and attempt to use the tester. If the
screen displays UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE, a
problem exists in the vehicle side or the tester side.
