< PRECAUTION >[VK56VD]
PRECAUTIONS

When measuring ECM signals with a circuit tester, never allow
the two tester probes to contact.
Accidental contact of probes will cause a short circuit and
damage the ECM power transistor.
 B1 indicates bank 1, B2 indicat es bank 2 as shown in the fig-
ure.
 Never operate fuel pump when there is no fuel in lines.
 Tighten fuel hose clamps to the specified torque.
 Never depress accelerator pedal when starting.
 Immediately after starting, never rev up engine unnecessarily.
 Never rev up engine just prior to shutdown.

ECM receives the signals as shown in the figure.
Crankshaft Position SensorINFOID:0000000006217665
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor senses the protrusion of the
signal plate installed to the drive plate to identify fluctuation of the
engine revolution.
The sensor consists of a permanent magnet and Hall IC.
When the engine is running, the high and low parts of the teeth
cause the gap with the sensor to change.
The changing gap causes the magnetic field near the sensor to
change.
Due to the changing magnetic fiel
d, the voltage from the sensor
changes.
The ECM receives the voltage signal and detects the fluctuation of
the engine revolution.
ECM receives the signals as shown in the figure.
ECMINFOID:0000000006217666
 ECM (Engine Control Module) controls the engine.
 The ECM consists of a microcomputer and connectors for trans- mitting/receiving signals and for supplying power. Furthermore, the
ECM is equipped with an injector dr iver unit and actuates the fuel
injector at a high voltage (approximately 70 V at the maximum).
 ECM is equipped with ECM temperature sensors. If ECM is over- heated, ECM controls output torque to prevent damage to itself.
 Battery voltage is supplied to the ECM even when the ignition
switch is turned OFF for the ECM memory function of the DTC
memory, the air-fuel ratio feedback compensation value memory,
the idle air volume learning value memory, etc.

INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL CHART
*: This signal is sent to the ECM via the CAN communication line.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This mechanism hydraulically controls cam phases c ontinuously with the fixed operating angle of the intake
valve.
The ECM receives signals such as crankshaft posit ion, camshaft position, engine speed, and engine coolant
temperature. Then, the ECM sends ON/OFF pulse duty signals to the intake valve timing control solenoid
valve depending on driving status. This makes it possible to control the shut/open timing of the intake valve to
increase engine torque in low/mid speed range and output in high speed range.
