This symptom may occur when a large amount of gasoline is mixed with engine oil because of driving
conditions (such as when engine oil temperature does not rise enough since a journey distance is too
short during winter). The symptom will not be detec ted after changing engine oil or changing driving con-
dition.

COMPONENT PARTS
Camshaft Position Sensor (PHASE)
INFOID:0000000009462485
The camshaft position sensor (P HASE) senses the retraction of
intake camshaft to identify a particular cylinder. The camshaft posi-
tion sensor (PHASE) sens es the piston position.
When the crankshaft position sensor (POS) system becomes inoper-
ative, the camshaft position sensor (PHASE) provides various con-
trols of engine parts instead, utilizing timing of cylinder identification
signals.
The sensor consists of a permanent magnet and Hall IC.
When 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 field, the voltage from the sensor changes.
ECM receives the signals as shown in the figure.
Cooling FanINFOID:0000000009462486
DESCRIPTION
The ECM controls the cooling fan corresponding to the vehicle speed, engine coolant temperature, refrigerant
pressure, and air conditioner ON signal. The control system has 4-step control [HIGH/MIDDLE/LOW/OFF].
Refer to EC-575, "COOLING FAN CONTRO L : System Description"
for cooling fan operation.
COOLING FAN MOTOR RELAY
Power supply for the cooling fan motor is provided via cooling fan motor relay.
Crankshaft Position Sensor (POS)INFOID:0000000009462487
The crankshaft position sensor (POS) is located on the oil pan facing
the gear teeth (cogs) of the signal pl ate. It detects the 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 field, the voltage from the sensor
changes.
The ECM receives the voltage signal and detects the fluctuation of
the engine revolution.

Engine Oil Pressure SensorINFOID:0000000009462492
The engine oil pressure (EOP) sens
or is detects engine oil pressure
and transmits a voltage signal to the ECM.
Engine Oil Temperature SensorINFOID:0000000009462493
The engine oil temperature sensor is used to detect the engine oil
temperature. The sensor modifies a voltage signal from the ECM.
The modified signal returns to the ECM as the engine oil tempera-
ture input. The sensor uses a ther mistor which is sensitive to the
change in temperature. The electrical resistance of the thermistor
decreases as temperature increases.

*: These data are reference values and are measured between ECM terminals.
EVAP CanisterINFOID:0000000009462494
The fuel vapor in the sealed fuel tank is led into t he EVAP canister which contains activated carbon and the
vapor is stored there when the engine is not oper ating or when refueling to the fuel tank.
For details, refer to EC-580, "EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM : System Description"
.
EVAP Canister Purge Volume Control Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000009462495
The EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve is used to
control the flow rate of fuel v apor from the EVAP canister. The EVAP
canister purge volume control solenoid valve is moved by ON/OFF
pulses from the ECM. The longer the ON pulse, the greater the
amount of fuel vapor that will flow through the valve.

< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION >[VQ35DE]
COMPONENT PARTS
Ignition Coil (With Power Transistor)
INFOID:0000000009462501
The ignition signal from the ECM is sent to and amplified by the
power transistor. The power transistor turns ON and OFF the ignition
coil primary circuit. This ON/OFF operation induces the proper high
voltage in the coil secondary circuit.
Intake Valve Timing Control Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000009462502
Intake valve timing control solenoid valve is activated by ON/OFF
pulse duty (ratio) signals from the ECM.
The intake valve timing control solenoid valve changes the oil
amount and direction of flow through intake valve timing control unit
or stops oil flow.
The longer pulse width advances valve angle.
The shorter pulse width retards valve angle.
When ON and OFF pulse widths become equal, the solenoid valve
stops oil pressure flow to fix the intake valve angle at the control
position.
Knock SensorINFOID:0000000009462503
The knock sensor is attached to t he cylinder block. It senses engine
knocking using a piezoelectric element. A knocking vibration from
the cylinder block is sensed as vibrational pressure. This pressure is
converted into a voltage signal and sent to the ECM.
Malfunction Indicator lamp (MIL)INFOID:0000000009462504
Malfunction Indicator lamp (MIL) is located on the combination
meter.
MIL will illuminate when the ignition switch is turned ON without the
engine running. This is a bulb check.
When the engine is started, MIL should turn OFF. If the MIL remains
illuminated, the on board diagnosti c system has detected an engine
system malfunction.
For details, refer to EC-590, "Diagnosis Description"

The mass air flow sensor (1) is plac
ed in the stream of intake air. It
measures the intake flow rate by measuring a part of the entire
intake flow. The mass air flow sens or controls the temperature of the
hot wire to a certain amount. The heat generated by the hot wire is
reduced as the intake air flows around it. The more air, the greater
the heat loss.
Therefore, the electric current supplied to hot wire is changed to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire as air flow increases. The
ECM detects the air flow by means of this current change.
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The intake air temperature sensor is built-into mass air flow sensor. The sensor detects intake air temperature
and transmits a signal to the ECM.
The temperature sensing unit uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. Electrical
resistance of the thermistor decreases in response to the temperature rise.

*: These data are reference values and are measured between ECM terminals.
Oil Pressure Warning LampINFOID:0000000009462506
Oil pressure warning lamp is located on the combination meter.
It indicates the low pressure of the engine oil and the malfunction of
the engine oil pressure system.
Combination meter turns the oil pressure warning lamp ON/OFF
according to the oil pressure warning lamp signal received from
ECM via CAN communication.
For details, refer to EC-583, "ENGINE PROTECTION CONTROL AT
LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE : System Description".
Power Valve Actuator 1 and 2INFOID:0000000009462507
The power valves are used to control the suction pa ssage of the variable induction air control system. They
are set in the fully closed or fully opened position by t he power valve actuators operated by the vacuum stored
in the vacuum tank. The vacuum to power valve actuat ors is controlled by the VIAS control solenoid valves.
