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.
