WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure
engine coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a th ick cloth around the cap. Slowly push down and
turn it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by pushing it down
and turning it all the way.
CAUTION:
• When removing water pump assembly, be car eful not to get coolant on drive belt.
• Water pump cannot be disassembled and must be replaced as a unit.
• After installing the water pump, connect hose and clamp securely, then check for leaks. Repair as
necessary.
NOTE:
When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc. , cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spill-
ing.

Exhaust Valve Timing Control Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000009462069
Exhaust valve timing control solenoi
d valve is activated by ON/OFF
pulse duty (ratio) signals from the ECM.
The exhaust valve timing control solenoid valve changes the oil
amount and direction of flow through exhaust valve timing control
unit or stops oil flow.
The longer pulse width retards valve angle.
The shorter pulse width advances valve angle.
When ON and OFF pulse widths become equal, the solenoid valve
stops oil pressure flow to fix t he exhaust valve angle at the control
position.
Intake Manifold Runner Control ValveINFOID:0000000009462070
Intake manifold runner control valve is integrated to intake mani-
fold.
Intake manifold runner control valve is mounted each port of the
intake manifold and opened/closed by the intake manifold runner
control valve motor.
ECM controls the intake manifold runner control valve motor, accord-
ing to signals of engine speed, water temperature, etc. and stabilizes
combustion by generating a strong tunmble flow.
INTAKE MANIFOLD RUNNER CONTROL VALVE MOTOR
Intake manifold runner control valve motor is connected to the rear end of the valve shaft.
The motor opens or closes the valve by the output signal of the ECM.
INTAKE MANIFOLD RUNNER CONTROL VALVE POSITION SENSOR
Intake manifold runner control valve position sensor is connected to the front end of the valve shaft.
The sensor consists of valiable resister. It senses the valve shaft movement and feeds the voltage signals to
the ECM.
Intake Manifold Tuning ValveINFOID:0000000009462071
Intake manifold tuning valve is integrated to intake manifold.
Intake manifold tuning valve consists of valve and motor.
Intake manifold tuning valve is used to control the suction passage of
the intake manifold tuning system.
INTAKE MANIFOLD TUNING VALVE MOTOR
Intake manifold tuning valve motor is connected to the front end of the valve shaft.
The motor is operated by the ECM and it opens a nd closes the intake manifold tuning valve.

Knock SensorINFOID:0000000009462074
The knock sensor is attached to t
he cylinder block. It senses engine
knocking using a piezoelectric el ement. 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.
Engine Oil Pressure SensorINFOID:0000000009462075
The engine oil pressure (EOP) sens or is detects engine oil pressure
and transmits a voltage signal to the ECM.
Engine Oil Temperature SensorINFOID:0000000009462076
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.
Engine speed Heated oxygen sensor 2 heater

• Keeping the engine speed between 3,500 and 4,000 rpm for 1

EVAP Canister Vent Control ValveINFOID:0000000009462080
The EVAP canister vent control valve is located on the EVAP canis-
ter and is used to seal the canister vent.
This solenoid valve responds to signals from the ECM. When the
ECM sends an ON signal, the coil in the solenoid valve is energized.
A plunger will then move to seal the canister vent. The ability to seal
the vent is necessary for the on board diagnosis of other evaporative
emission control system components.
This solenoid valve is used only for diagnosis, and usually remains
opened.
When the vent is closed, under normal purge conditions, the evapo-
rative emission control system is depressurized and allows “EVAP
Control System” diagnosis.
EVAP Control System Pressure SensorINFOID:0000000009462081
The EVAP control system pressure sensor detects pressure in the
purge line. The sensor output voltage to the ECM increases as pres-
sure increases.
Battery Current Sensor (With Battery Temperature Sensor)INFOID:0000000009462082
OUTLINE
The power generation voltage variable control enables fuel con-
sumption to be decreased by reducing the engine load which is
caused by the power generation of the generator.
Based on sensor signals, ECM judges whether or not the power
generation voltage variable contro l is performed. When performing
the power generation voltage variable control, ECM calculates the
target power generation voltage based on the sensor signal. And
ECM sends the calculated value as the power generation command
value to IPDM E/R. For the details of the power generation voltage
variable control, refer to CHG-10, "System Description"
.
CAUTION:
Never connect the electrical co mponent or the ground wire
directly to the battery terminal. The connection cau ses the malfunction of the power generation volt-
age variable control, and then the battery discharge may occur.
BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR
The battery current sensor is installed to the battery negative cable. The sensor measures the charging/dis-
charging current of the battery.
