CONTROL UNIT
MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)13A-6
CONTROL UNITM2132021500153
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)
ECM is installed in the engine room. ECM judges
(calculates) the optimum control to deal with the con
-
stant minute changes in driving conditions based on
information input from the sensors and drives the
actuator. ECM is composed of 32-bit microprocessor
and Random Access Memory (RAM), Read Only
Memory (ROM) and Input /Output interface. ECM uses flash-memory ROM that allows re-writing of
data so that change and correction of control data is
possible using special tools. It also uses Electrically
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
(EEPROM) so that studied compensation data is not
deleted even if battery terminals are disconnected.

MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR
Mass airflow sensor is installed in the air intake hose. Mass air-
flow sensor is composed of an extremely small heatsensing
resistor. The mass airflow sensor controls the amount of elec
-
tric current flowing into the heat sensing resistor to keep the
heat sensing resistor at a constant temperature to the intake air
temperature. The faster the air flow speed, the higher the mass
flow rate.Because the amount of heat transfer from the heat
sensing resistor to the air increases, the mass airflow sensor
increases the amount of electric current to the heat sensing
resistor. Thus, the amount of electric current increases in
accordance with the air mass flow rate. The mass airflow sen
-
sor measures the air mass flow rate by detecting the amount of
electric current. The mass airflow sensor amplifies the detected
electric current amount and outputs it into the ECM. ECM uses
this output current and engine speed to calculate and decide
basic fuel injection time. Sensor properties are as shown in the
figure.
.
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Intake air temperature sensor is built in to the mass airflow sen-
sor. Intake air temperature sensor detects intake air tempera-
ture through thermistor's resistance change and outputs the
voltage according to intake air temperature to ECM. ECM uses
this output voltage to compensate fuel injection control and
ignition timing control. Sensor properties are as shown in the
figure.

MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR
The manifold absolute pressure sensor is installed in the intake
manifold. Manifold absolute pressure sensor uses a piezo
resistive semiconductor to output the voltage according to man
-
ifold absolute pressure to ECM. ECM uses this output voltage
to compensate fuel injection volume according to manifold
absolute pressure. Sensor properties are as shown in the fig

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The engine coolant temperature sensor is installed in the ther-
mostat housing. Engine coolant temperature sensor uses ther-
mistor's resistance change to detect coolant temperature and
output the voltage according to coolant temperature to ECM.
ECM uses this output voltage to appropriately control fuel injec
-
tion volume, idle speed and ignition timing. Sensor properties
are as shown in the figure.
.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
The throttle position sensor is installed in the throttle body.
Throttle position sensor outputs voltage to ECM based on the
throttle shaft rotation angle. ECM uses this signal to detect the
throttle valve opening angle to perform throttle actuator control
motor feedback control. This throttle position sensor uses Hall
IC and is a non-contact type.

STRUCTURE AND SYSTEM
Throttle position sensor is composed of a permanent magnet
fixed on the throttle shaft, Hall IC that outputs voltage according
to magnetic flux density and a stator that efficiently introduces
magnetic flux from the permanent magnet to Hall IC.
Magnetic flux density at Hall IC is proportional to the output
voltage.
Throttle position sensor has 2 output systems − throttle position
sensor (main) and throttle position sensor (sub), and the output
voltage is output to ECM. When throttle valve turns, output volt
-
age of throttle position sensor (main) and throttle position sen-
sor (sub) changes. This allows ECM to detect actual throttle
opening angle. ECM uses this output voltage for throttle actua
-
tor control motor feedback control. Also, ECM compares output
voltage of the throttle position sensor (main) and throttle posi
-
tion sensor (sub) to check for abnormality in the throttle position
sensor. The relationship between throttle opening angle and
output voltage of the throttle position sensor (main) and throttle
position sensor (sub) is as shown in the figure below.
