ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
*1: This sensor is not used to control the engine system under normal conditions.
*2: This signal is sent to the ECM through CAN communication line.
*3: ECM determines the start signal status by the signals of engine speed and battery voltage.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The amount of fuel injected from the fuel injector is
determined by the ECM. The ECM controls the length of
time the valve remains open (injection pulse duration). T he amount of fuel injected is a program value in the
ECM memory. The program value is preset by engine operating conditions. These conditions are determined
by input signals (for engine speed and intake air) from t he crankshaft position sensor (POS), camshaft position
sensor (PHASE) and the ma ss air flow sensor.
VARIOUS FUEL INJECTION I NCREASE/DECREASE COMPENSATION
In addition, the amount of fuel injected is compensated to improve engine performance under various operat-
ing conditions as listed below.
• When starting the engine
• During acceleration
• Hot-engine operation
• When selector lever is changed from N to D (A/T and CVT models)
• High-load, high-speed operation
• During high engine speed operation

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM
tified codes can be identified by using the CONSULT-II
I or GST. A DTC will be used as an example for how to
read a code.
A particular trouble code can be identified by the number of four-digit numeral flashes. The “zero” is indicated
by the number of ten flashes. The “A” is indicated by the number of eleven flash. The length of time the
1,000th-digit numeral flashes on and off is 1.2 seconds consisting of an ON (0.6-second) - OFF (0.6-second)
cycle. The 100th-digit numeral and lower digit numer als consist of a 0.3-second ON and 0.3-second OFF
cycle. A change from one digit numeral to another occurs at an interval of 1.0-second OFF. In other words, the
later numeral appears on the display 1.3 seconds after the former numeral has disappeared.
A change from one trouble code to another occu rs at an interval of 1.8-second OFF.
In this way, all the detected malfunctions are classi fied by their DTC numbers. The DTC 0000 refers to no mal-
function. (See EC-504
)
How to Erase Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self-diagnostic Results)
The DTC can be erased from the back-up memory in the ECM by depressing accelerator pedal.
Refer to "How to Erase Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self-diagnostic Results)".
• If the battery is disconnected, the DTC will be lost from the backup memory within 24 hours.
• Be careful not to erase the stored memo ry before starting trouble diagnoses.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MIL, 1ST TRIP DTC, DTC, AND DETECTABLE ITEMS
• When a malfunction is detected for the first time, the 1st trip DTC and the 1st trip freeze frame data are
stored in the ECM memory.
• When the same malfunction is detected in two consec utive trips, the DTC and the freeze frame data are
stored in the ECM memory, and the MIL will come on. For details, refer to EC-541, "
Two Trip Detection
Logic".
• The MIL will go off after the vehicle is driven 3 time s (driving pattern B) with no malfunction. The drive is
counted only when the recorded driving pattern is met (as stored in the ECM). If another malfunction occurs
while counting, the counter will reset.
• The DTC and the freeze frame data will be stored until the vehicle is driven 40 times (driving pattern A) with-
out the same malfunction recurring (except for Misfire and Fuel Injection System). For Misfire and Fuel Injec-
tion System, the DTC and freeze frame data will be stored until the vehicle is driven 80 times (driving pattern

FUEL INJECTOR
Component DescriptionINFOID:0000000006342230
The fuel injector is a small, precise solenoid valve. When the ECM
supplies a ground to the fuel injector circuit, the coil in the fuel injec-
tor is energized. The energized coil pulls the ball valve back and
allows fuel to flow through the fuel injector into the intake manifold.
The amount of fuel injected depends upon the injection pulse dura-
tion. Pulse duration is the length of time the fuel injector remains
open. The ECM controls the injection pulse duration based on
engine fuel needs.

• Attach the rubber nozzle narrowed to the top of the air gun to
prevent air leakage from the oil hole. Securely apply the air
pressure to the oil hole (A).
CAUTION:
• There are other oil holes in the side grooves. Never use the incorrect oil holes.
• Be sure not to damage the oil path with the tip of the air
gun.
• Wipe all the oil off the air gun to prevent oil from being
blown all over along with the air, and the area around the
air gun should be wiped wi th a rag when applying air
pressure. Eye protection should be worn as needed.
NOTE:
The air pressure is used to move the lock pin into the disengage position.
c. Hold the camshaft sprocket (INT) with hands, and then apply the power counterclockwise/clockwise alter-
natively.
• Finally rotate the sprocket of the camshaft sprocket (INT) counterclockwise [the direction shown by the
arrow ( )].
• Perform the work while applying the air pressure to the oil hole.
• If the lock pin is not released by hands, tap the camshaft sprocket (INT) (1) lightly with a plastic hammer.
• If the camshaft sprocket (INT) (1) is not rotated counterclock- wise even if the above procedures are performed, check the
air pressure and the oil hole position.
d. While doing the above, once you hear a click (the sound of the internal lock pin disengaging) from inside the camshaft sprocket
(INT), start turning the camshaft sprocket (INT) in the counter-
clockwise direction in the most advanced angle position.
• Keep the air pressure on.
• If there is no click, as soon as the vane-side (camshaft side)starts moving independently of the sprocket, the lock pin has
become disengaged.
• Make sure that it is in the most advanced angle position by seeing if the stopper pin groove (A) and the stopper pin hole (B) are matched up as shown.
e. Complete the applying procedure of air pressu re and the holding procedure of camshaft (INT).
f. Insert the stopper pin (A) into the stopper pin holes in the cam- shaft sprocket (INT) (1) and lock in the most advanced angle
position.
CAUTION:
No load is exerted on the stop per pin (spring reaction, etc.).
Since it comes out easily, secure it with tape (B) to prevent
it from coming out.
NOTE:
The stopper pin shows one example of a hexagonal wrench for
2.5 mm (0.098 in) [length of inserted section: approximately 15
mm (0.59 in)].

WARNING:
Be sure to perform this step
when the engine is stopped.
NOTE:
On vehicles not equipped with A/C, there is an idler pulley in the position for the drive belt routing.
• Make sure that the indicator (notch on fixed side) of drive belt auto-tensioner is within the possible use
range.
NOTE:
• Check the drive belt auto-tensioner indication when the engine is cold.
• When new drive belt is installed, the indicator (notch on fixed side) should be within the range.
• Visually check entire drive belt for wear, damage or cracks.
• If the indicator (notch on fixed side) is out of t he possible use range or belt is damaged, replace drive belt.
Tension AdjustmentINFOID:0000000005930999
Belt tension is not necessary, as it is automatically adjusted by drive belt auto-tensioner.

WARNING:
Never place hand in a location where pinching may occur if
the holding tool acci dentally comes off.
CAUTION:
Do not loosen the auto-tensione r pulley bolt. (Do not turn it
counterclockwise.) If turned counterclockwise, the com-
plete auto-tensioner must be replaced as a unit, including
pulley.
3. Insert a rod such as short-length screwdriver approximately 6 mm (0.24 in) in diameter into the hole (B) of t he retaining boss to fix drive belt auto-tensioner.
