Crankshaft Position Sensor (POS)INFOID:0000000009462064
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 magnet ic 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.
Camshaft Position Sensor (PHASE)INFOID:0000000009462065
The camshaft position sensor (PHASE) senses the retraction of
intake camshaft to identify a particular cylinder. The camshaft posi-
tion sensor (PHASE) senses 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 magnet ic 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.
Intake Valve Timing Control Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000009462066
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.
Intake Valve Timing Intermediate Lock Control Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000009462067
Intake valve timing intermediate lock control solenoid valve is acti-
vated by ON/OFF signals from the ECM.
The intake valve timing intermediate lock control solenoid valve
opens/closes the path of oil pressure acting on the lock key in the
camshaft sprocket (INT).
• When the solenoid valve becomes ON, oil pressure to the lock key
is trained to perform intermediate lock.
• When the solenoid valve becomes OFF, oil pressure is acted on the lock key to release the intermediate lock.
Exhaust Valve Timing Control Position SensorINFOID:0000000009462068
Exhaust valve timing control position sensor detects the protrusion of
the signal plate installed to the exhaust camshaft front end.
This sensor signal is used for sensing a position of the exhaust cam-
shaft.
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.

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.

Description
When a DTC is detected, ECM executes a mode (in the
Fail-safe mode) applicable to the DTC. The fail-safe
mode has the preset traveling control mode (accelera tor angle variation and engine output limit) and device fix
mode.

indicator
lamp circuit Engine speed will not rise
more than 2,500 rpm due
to the fuel cut When there is an open circuit on MIL circuit, the ECM cannot warn the
driver by lighting up MIL when there is malfunction on engine control
system.
Therefore, when electrical controlled throttle and part of ECM related
diagnoses are continuously detected as NG for 5 trips, ECM warns the
driver that engine control system malfunctions and MIL circuit is open
by means of operating fail safe function.
The fail safe function also operates when above diagnoses except MIL
circuit are detected and demands the driver to repair the malfunction. EC-517, "Compo-
nent Function

Fail Safe Pattern
Fail Safe List
× :Applicable —: Not applicable
Fail safe mode Vehicle behavior
Traveling con-
trol mode Accelerator an-
gle variation
control ECM controls the accelerator pedal depression speed to make it slower than actual speed. This
causes a drop in accelerating performance and encourages the driver to repair malfunction.
NOTE:
ECM does not control the accelerator pedal releasing speed.
Engine output
control ECM reduces the engine output, according to the rise in engine speed. This reduces the vehicle
speed to encourage the driver to repair malfunction.
Device fix mode • This mode fixes the IVT control solenoid valve and the EVT control solenoid valve in the refer-
ence position.
• The intake manifold runner control valve motor is turned OFF (intake manifold runner control valve opens).
