Engine Control System (4JH1) 6E-283
Description And Operation
Engine Control Module (ECM) Description
RTW 66ESH001201
The engine control module (ECM) is designed to
withstand normal current draws associated with vehicle
operation. Avoid overloading any circuit. W hen testing
for opens and shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to
any of the ECM circuits unless instructed to do so. In
some cases, these circuits should only be tested using
a digital multi meter (DMM). The ECM should remain
connected to the ECM harness.
The ECM is located on the floor panel. The ECM mainl
y
controls the following.
• The fuel system control
• The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system
control
• The preheating (glow) system control
• The A/C compressor control
• On-board diagnostics for engine control
The ECM constantly observes the information from
various sensor s. The ECM controls the systems that
affect vehicle performance. The ECM performs the
diagnostic function of the system. The ECM can
recognize operational problems, alert the driver through
the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), and store
diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). DTCs identify the
system faults to aid the technician in making repairs.
ECM Voltage Description
The ECM supplies a buffered voltage to various
switches and sensor s. The ECM can do this because
resistance in the ECM is so high in value that a test
lamp may not illuminate when connected to the circuit.
An ordinary shop voltmeter may not give an accurate
reading because the voltmeter input impedance is too
low. Use a 10-megaohm input impedance DMM, to
ensure accurate voltage readings. The input and/o
r
output devices in the ECM include analog-to-digital
converters, signal buffers, counters, and special drivers.
The ECM controls most components with electronic
switches which complete a ground circuit when turned
ON.
Aftermarket Electrical and Vacuum Equipment
Aftermarket or add-on electrical and vacuum equipment
is defined as any equipment which connects to the
vehicle's electrical or vacuum systems that is installed
on a vehicle after the vehicle leaves the factory. No
allowances have been made in the vehicle design fo
r
this type of equipment. No add-on vacuum equipment
should be added to this vehicle. Add-on electrical
equipment must only be connected to the vehicle's
electrical system at the battery power and ground. Add-
on electrical equipment, even when installed to these
guidelines, may still cause the powertrain system to
malfunction. This may also include equipment not
connected to the vehicle electrical system such as
portable telephones and audios. Therefore, the first
step in diagnosing any powertrain fault is to eliminate all
aftermarket electrical equipment from the vehicle. Afte
r
this is done, if the fault still exists, the fault may be
diagnosed in the normal manner.
Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electronic components used in the ECM are often
designed to carry very low voltage. Electronic
components are susceptible to damage caused b
y
electrostatic discharge. By comparison, as much as
4,000 volts may be needed for a person to feel even the
zap of a static discharge. There are several ways for a
person to become statically charged. The most
common methods of charging are by friction and
induction. •
An example of charging by friction is a person
sliding across a vehicle seat.

6E-284 Engine Control System (4JH1)
Important:
To prevent possible electrostatic discharge damage,
follow these guidelines: • Do not touch the ECM connector pins or soldered
components on the ECM circuit board.
• Do not open the replacement part package until
the part is ready to be installed.
• Before removing the part from the package,
ground the package to a known good ground on
the vehicle.
• If the part has been handled while sliding across
the seat, while sitting down from a standing
position, or while walking a distance, touch a
known good ground before installing the part.
• Charge by induction occurs when a person with
well insulated shoes stands near a highly charged
object and momentarily touches ground. Charges
of the same polarity are drained off leaving the
person highly charged with opposite polarity.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Operation
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located in the
instrument panel cluster (IPC). The MIL will display the
following symbols when commanded ON:
RTW 76ESH004001
The MIL indicates that an emission or performance
related fault has occurred and vehicle service is
required. The following is a list of the modes o
f
operation for the MIL: • The MIL illuminates for approximately 2 seconds
when the ignition switch is turned ON, with the
engine OFF. This is a bulb test to ensure the MIL
is able to illuminate.
•
The MIL remains illuminated after the engine is
started if the ECM detects a fault. A DTC is stored
any time the ECM illuminates the MIL due to an
emission or performance related fault.
Engine Control Component Description
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor & Idle
Switch
RTW 66ESH001301
The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor is mounted
on the throttle assembly. The engine control module
(ECM) uses the APP sensor s to determine the amount
of acceleration or deceleration desired by the person
driving the vehicle via the fuel injection control.
The idle switch is also mounted on the intake throttle
assembly. The idle switch is part of the APP senso
r
assembly. The idle switch is a normally closed type
switch. W hen the accelerator pedal is released, the idle
switch signal to the ECM is low voltage.

Service Precautions
Matters that require attention in terms of
maintenance
To prevent damage to the engine and ensure reliabilit
y
of its performance, pay attention to the following in
maintaining the engine:
• W hen lifting up or supporting the engine, do not
apply a jack on the oil pan.
W hen taking down the engine on the ground, do not make the bearing surface of the oil pan touch
the ground directly. Use a wooden frame, fo
r
example, to support the engine with the engine
foot and the flywheel housing.
Because there is only a small clearance between the oil pan and the oil pump strainer, it can
damage the oil pan and the oil strainer.
• W hen the air duct or air cleaner is removed, cove
r
the air intake opening to prevent foreign matter
from getting into the cylinder. If it gets
contaminated, it can considerably damage the
cylinder and others while the engine is operating.
• W hen maintaining the engine, never fail to remove
the battery earth cable. If not, it may damage the
wire harness or electrical parts. If you need
electricity on for the purpose of inspection, fo
r
instance, watch out for short circuits and others.
•
Apply engine oil to the sliding contact surfaces of
the engine before reassembling it. This ensures
adequate lubrication when the engine is first
started.
• W hen valve train parts, pistons, piston rings,
connecting rods, connecting rod bearings o
r
crankshaft journal bearings are removed, put them
in order and keep them.
• W hen installing them, put them back in the same
location they were removed from.
• Gaskets, oil seals, O-rings, etc. must be replaced
with new ones when the engine is reassembled.
•
As for parts where a liquid gasket is used, remove
an old liquid gasket completely and clean it up
thoroughly so that no oil, water or dust is clinging
to them. Then, apply the designated liquid gasket
to each place anew before assembly.
• Surfaces covered with liquid gasket must be
assembled within 5 minutes of gasket application.
If more than 5 minutes has elapsed, remove the
existing liquid gasket and apply a new liquid
gasket.
• W hen assembling or installing parts, fasten them
with the prescribed tightening torque so that the
y
are installed properly.
Matters that require attention in specifically dealing
with this engine.
Holes or clearances in the fuel system, which serve as
a passage of fuel, including the inside of the injector,
are made with extreme precision. For this reason, the
y
are highly sensitive to foreign matter and, if it gets in, it
can lead to an accident on the road, for instance; thus,
make sure that foreign matter is prevented from getting
in.
W hen servicing the fuel system, every precaution must
be taken to prevent the entry of foreign material into the
system.
• Before beginning the service procedure, wash the
fuel line and the surrounding area.
• Perform the service procedures with clean hands.
Do not wear work gloves.
• Immediately after removing the fuel hose and/o
r
fuel pipe, carefully tape vinyl bags over the
exposed ends of the hose or pipe.
• If parts are to be replaced (fuel hose, fuel pipe,
etc.) do not open the new part packaging until
installation.
Work procedure
• The fuel opening must be quickly sealed when
removing the fuel pipe, injection pipe, fuel injector,
fuel supply pump, and fuel rail.
• The eyebolts and gasket must be stored in a clean
parts box with a lid to prevent adhesion of foreign
matter.
• Fuel leakage could cause fires. Therefore, afte
r
finishing the work, wipe off the fuel that has leaked
out and make sure there is no fuel leakage afte
r
starting the engine.

Fuel System
Service Precautions
Parts of the fuel system such as the internal part of the
fuel injector, and holes and clearances that form
passages for fuel are finished to a very high degree o
f
accuracy. They are therefore highly sensitive to foreign
matter and the entry of foreign matter could cause
damage to the fuel passage. Therefore, effective
measures should be taken to prevent the entry o
f
foreign matter.
If a water removal agent is used in the fuel then it will
absorb moisture in the light oil and may cause rust.
Therefore, do not use a water removal agent in the fuel
tank.
W hen servicing the fuel system, every precaution must
be taken to prevent the entry of foreign material into the
system.
• Before beginning the service procedure, wash the
fuel line and the surrounding area.
• Perform the service procedures with clean hands.
Do not wear work gloves.
• Immediately after removing the fuel hose and/o
r
fuel pipe, carefully tape vinyl bags over the
exposed ends of the hose or pipe.
• If parts are to be replaced (fuel hose, fuel pipe,
etc.) do not open the new part packaging until
installation.
Discard gaskets and O-rings and replace them with ne
w
ones.
Work procedure
•
The fuel opening must be quickly sealed when
removing the fuel pipe, injection pipe, fuel injector,
fuel supply pump, and fuel rail.
• The eyebolts and gasket must be stored in a clean
parts box with a lid to prevent adhesion of foreign
matter.
• Fuel leakage could cause fires. Therefore, afte
