SENSOR
MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)13A-10
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.

FUEL INJECTION CONTROL
MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)13A-29
FUEL INJECTION CONTROLM2132003001036
Fuel injection volume is regulated to obtain the opti-
mum air-fuel ratio in accordance with the constant
minute changes in engine driving conditions. Fuel
injection volume is controlled by injector drive time
(injection time). There is a prescribed basic drive
time that varies according to the engine speed and intake air volume. ECM adds prescribed compensa
-
tions to this basic drive time according to conditions
such as the intake air temperature and engine cool
-
ant temperature to decide injection time. Fuel injec-
tion is done separately for each cylinder and is done
once in two engine rotations.

FUEL INJECTION CONTROL

[Injector basic drive time]
Fuel injection is performed once per cycle for each cylinder.
Basic drive time refers to fuel injection volume (injector drive
time) to achieve theoretical air-fuel ratio for the intake air vol
-
ume of 1 cycle of 1 cylinder. Fuel injection volume changes
according to the pressure difference (injected fuel pressure)
between manifold absolute pressure and fuel pressure (con
-
stant). So, injected fuel pressure compensation is made to
injector drive time for theoretical air-fuel ratio to arrive at basic
drive time.
Intake air volume of each cycle of 1 cylinder is calculated by
ECM based on the mass airflow sensor signal and crankshaft
position sensor signal. Also, during engine start, the map value
prescribed by the engine coolant temperature sensor signal is
used as basic drive time.

[Injector drive time compensation]
After calculating the injector basic drive time, the ECM makes
the following compensations to control the optimum fuel injec
-
tion volume according to driving conditions.
List of main compensations for fuel injection control
.
[Fuel limit control during deceleration]
ECM limits fuel when decelerating downhill to prevent exces-
sive rise of catalytic converter temperature and to improve fuel
efficiency.
.
[Fuel-cut control when over-run]
When engine speed exceeds a prescribed limit (6,600 r/min),
ECM cuts fuel supply to prevent overrunning and thus protect
the engine. Also, if engine speed exceeds 4,000 r/min for 15
seconds while vehicle is stationary (no load), it cuts fuel supply
and controls the throttle valve opening angle to protect the
engine.
CompensationsContent
Heated oxygen sensor feedback compensationThe heated oxygen sensor signal is used for
making the compensation to get air-fuel ratio with
best cleaning efficiency of the 3-way catalytic
converter. This compensation might not be made
sometimes in order to improve drivability,
depending on driving conditions. (Air-fuel ratio
compensation is made.)
Air-fuel ratio compensationUnder driving conditions where heated oxygen
sensor feedback compensation is not performed,
compensation is made based on pre-set map
values that vary according to engine speed and
intake air volume.
Engine coolant temperature compensationCompensation is made according to the engine
coolant temperature. The lower the engine coolant
temperature, the greater the fuel injection volume.
Acceleration/ Deceleration compensationCompensation is made according to change in
intake air volume. During acceleration, fuel injection
volume is increased. Also, during deceleration, fuel
injection volume is decreased.
Fuel injection compensationCompensation is made according to the pressure
difference between atmospheric pressure and
manifold absolute pressure. The greater the
difference in pressure, the shorter the injector drive
time.
Battery voltage compensationCompensation is made depending on battery
voltage. The lower the battery voltage, the greater
the injector drive signal time.
Learning value for fuel compensationCompensation amount is learned to compensate
feedback of heated oxygen sensor. This allows
system to compensate in accordance with engine
characteristics.

Ignition timing is pre-set according to engine driving
conditions. Compensations are made according to
pre-set values depending on conditions such as
engine coolant temperature, battery voltage etc. to
decide optimum ignition timing. Primary current con
-
nect/disconnect signal is sent to the power transistor
to control ignition timing. Ignition is done in sequence
of cylinders 1, 3, 4, 2.
