C. Key approval process
When turning the ignition switch to ON position, the power is supplied to BCM and ECU. ECU
communicate with the immobilizer key to check if it is valid crypto code. If it is valid, ECU start to control
the engine when turning the ignition switch to START position. The system has 10 seconds of valid time-
out period. If the engine does not start in this period, the key approval process should be done again.

2. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1) Cleanliness and Care
An automobile engine is a combination of many machined, honed, polished and lapped surfaces
with tolerances that are measured in the ten-thousanths of an inch. When any internal engine
parts are serviced, care and cleanliness are important. A liberal coating of enigne oil should be
applied to friction areas during assembly, to protect and lubricate the surfaces on initial operation.
Proper cleaning and protection of machined surfaces and friction areas is part of the repair
procedure. This is considered standard shop practice even if not specifically stated.
Whenever valve train components are removed for service, they should be kept in order.
They should be installed in the same locations, and with the same mating surfaces, as when they
were removed. Battery cables should be disconnected before any major work is performed on the
engine. Failure to disconnect cables may result in damage to wire harness or other electrical
parts.
2) On-Engine Service
Disconnect the negative battery cable before removing or installing any electrical unit, or
when a tool or equipment could easily come in contact with exposed electrical terminals.
Disconnecting this cable will help prevent personal injury and damage to the vehicle.
The ignition must also be in LOCK unless otherwise noted.
Notice Any time the air cleaner is removed, the intake opening -
Any time the air cleaner is removed, the intake opening should be covered. This will protect
against accidental entrance of foreign material, which could follow the intake passage into
the cylinder and cause extensive damage when the engine is started.g -

1. CHARGING SYSTEM OPERATION
Alternators use a new type of regulator that incorpo-rates a diode trio. A Delta stator, a rectifier
bridge, and a rotor with slip rings and brushes are electrically similar to earlier alternators.
A conventional pulley and fan are used. There is no test hole.
1) Charging Time Required
The time required to charge a battery will vary depending upon the following factors:
Size of Battery ▶
A Completely discharged large heavy-duty battery required more than twice the
recharging time as a completely discharged small passenger car battery. -
Temperature ▶
A longer time will be needed to charge any battery at -18°C (0°F) than at 27°C (80°F).
When a fast charger is connected to a cold battery, the current accepted by the battery
will be very low at first. The battery will accept a higher current rate as the battery warms. -
Charger Capacity ▶
A charger which can supply only 5 amperes will require a much longer charging period
than a charger that can supply 30 amperes or more. -
State-of-Charge ▶
A completely discharged battery requires more than twice as much charge as a onehalf
charged battery. Because the electrolyte is nearly pure water and a poor conductor in a
completely discharged battery, the current accepted by the battery is very low at first.
Later, as the charging current causes the electrolyte acid content to increase, the charging
current will likewise increase. -
2. STARTING SYSTEM OPERATION
The engine electrical system includes the battery, the ignition, the starter, the alternator, and all
the related wiring. Diagnostic tables will aid in troubleshooting system faults. When a fault is
traced to a particular component, refer to that component section of the service manual. The
starting system circuit consists of the battery, the starter motor, the ignition switch, and all the
related electrical wiring. All of these components are connected electrically.

3. IGNITION SYSTEM OPERATION
This ignition system does not use a conventional distributor and coil. It uses a crankshaft position
sensor input to the Engine Control Module (ECM).
The ECM then determines Electronic Spark Timing (EST) and triggers the electronic ignition
system ignition coil.
This type of distributorless ignition system uses a "waste spark" method of spark distribution.
Each cylinder is paired with the cylinder that is opposite it (2.3L DOHC: 2 - 3 or 1 - 4, 3.2L
DOHC: 1 - 6 or 2 - 5 or 3 - 4).
The spark occurs simultaneously in the cylinder coming up on the compression stroke and in the
cylinder coming up on the exhaust stroke.
The cylinder on the exhaust stroke requires very little of the available energy to fire the spark plug.
The remaining energy is available to the spark plug in the cylinder on the compression stroke.
These systems use the EST signal from the ECM to control the EST.
The ECM uses the following information: Engine load (mass air flow sensor, manifold air pressure
sensor).
Engine coolant temperature.
Intake air temperature.
Crankshaft position.
Engine speed (rpm).
1) Electronic Ignition System Ignition Coil
The Electronic Ignition (EI) system ignition coil is located on the cylinder head cover.
The double ended coils re ceive the signal for the ECM which controls the spark advance.
Each EI system ignition coil provides the high voltage to two spark plugs simultaneously;
3.2L DOHC
T1/1: cylinder 2 and 5
T1/2: cylinder 3 and 4
T1/3: cylinder 1 and 6
The EI system ignition coil is not serviceable and must be replaced as an assembly.

4) Recovery of Set Speed (RESUME)
Even if the cruise control is cancelled, the previous set cruise speed can be recovered by pulling
up the cruise control lever when the current vehicle speed is over 36 km/h without an acceleration
intervention. But if you turn off the ignition switch, the memorized set speed is cleared and you
cannot recover the previous set speed.
But the driver should know the previous set speed to react to the changed vehicle speed
properly. If the vehicle speed increases abruptly, depress the brake pedal to adjust the vehicle
speed properly.

10-12
Do not move the shift lever to Neutral position while driving with the cruise control turned on.
Otherwise, it may result in system malfunction or accidents.
Always be prepared to use the brake or accelerator pedal for safe driving while the cruise
control system is running.
The actual speed can be different from the set speed momentarily when driving on a uphill
or downhill. So, it is recommended to disable the cruise control function on a uphill or
downhill. hen driving on a steep hill use the engine brake and foot brake properly to protect
the vehicle system and for a safe driving.
Ensure that the safe distance is maintained and use the brake pedal if needed. 1.

(1) Abnormal Cancellation of the Cruise Control
When the rapid deceleration is applied without braking.
When the rapid acceleration is applied without acceleration pedal intervention.
When the cruise control lever is faulty.
When the brake switch and the brake light switch input signal are implausible. 1.

3.
When the cruise control function is cancelled abnormally or intermittent problems occur, stop the
vehicle and turn off the ignition switch and remove the key to reset the system. After a while, turn
on the ignition switch again to operate the cruise control system.

1. CAUTIONS WHEN WORKING ON ELECTRICAL UNITS
80℃
10A 15A
Disconnect the negative cable from the
battery in advance when working on
electrical units. -
Make sure to turn "OFF" the ignition switch
and other lamp switches before
disconnecting or connecting the negative
battery cable. (Otherwise, semiconductor
parts can be damaged.)
Do not drop or appy excessive impact to
sensors and relays. -
If a fuse is blown, replace it with a fuse
which has the correct amperage rating. If
you use a fuse with higher capacity than
the specification, the component can be
damaged or catch fire. -
