POWER STEERING PRESSURE SWITCH
A power steering pressure switch is installed on the power
steering oil pump. The power steering pressure switch uses a
contact switch to detect the power steering oil pressure. When
power steering oil pressure rises due to operation of the steer
-
ing wheel, the power steering load switch outputs an ON signal
to ECM. ECM performs idle-up according to the voltage and
prevents reduction in engine speed due to power steering load
and so maintains stable idle speed.

FUEL TANK DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SENSOR
The fuel tank differential pressure sensor is installed to the fuel
pump module. The fuel tank differential pressure sensor out
-
puts the voltage to the ECM using the piezo resistive semicon-
ductor in accordance with the difference between pressure in
the fuel tank and the pressure of the atmosphere. When moni
-
toring the evaporative leak, the ECM detects malfunctions of
the evaporative emission control system by monitoring the
amount of output voltage changes from this sensor. The sensor
characteristics are as shown in the diagram.
.
FUEL TANK TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The fuel tank temperature sensor is installed to the fuel pump
module. The fuel tank temperature sensor detects the tempera
-
ture inside the fuel tank using the resistance change in the ther-
mistor and outputs the voltage to the ECM in accordance with
the temperature inside the fuel tank. The ECM monitors the
evaporative leak in accordance with the fuel tank temperature.
The sensor characteristics are as shown in the diagram.

FUEL PUMP RELAY CONTROL
MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)13A-46
FUEL PUMP RELAY CONTROLM2132006500208
When current flows through the fuel pump relay, the
relay turns ON and the fuel pump is driven. The fuel
pump relay is built into the ETACS-ECU. When the
ignition switch-ST signal is input, ECM turns ON the
power transistor for control of the fuel pump relay. As a result, power is supplied to the fuel pump. Also, if
engine speed falls below a set value, the fuel pump
relay is turned OFF. Thus, it deals with sudden stop
-
pages such as engine stalling etc. by stopping the
pump.
