Description Electrical Circuit
Electrical devices are used in numerous
1 3 areas of an automobile, and provide var-
ious functions.
As electricity passes through a resistor,
it affects the resistor and can provide a
number of functions.
Electrical devices utilize those functions
according to purpose by converting elec-
tricity into work.
2
Functions of electricity
1. Heat-generation function Heat is
generated as electricity passes
through a resistor, such as a
cigarette lighter, fuse.
2. Light-emitting function
Light is emitted as electricity passes
through a resistor, such as a light
bulb.
3. Magnetic function
A magnetic force is generated as
electricity passes through a conduc-
tor or coil, such as an ignition coil,
alternator, injector.

All substances are comprised of atoms,
which consist of nuclei and electrons. A
metallic atom contains free electrons.
Free electrons are electrons that can
move freely from the atoms.
The transfer of these free electrons
among metallic atoms generates elec-
tricity.
Therefore, the electricity flow through an
electrical circuit is the electrons moving
in a conductor.
When a voltage is applied to both ends
of a metal (conductor), the electrons flow
from the negative pole to the positive
pole. This flow is the opposite of the flow
Current of an electrical current.

Resistance
Three elements of electricity
Atomic nucleus Electricity consists of three basic ele-
ments:
Voltage
Free electron 1. Current
This is the current flow through an
electrical circuit.
Unit: A (ampere)
2. Voltage
This is the force of electricity that
moves current through an electrical
circuit. The higher the voltage, the
greater the amount of current that will
flow through the circuit.
Unit: V (volt)
3. Resistance
This is the opposition to the current
flow.
Unit: Ω (ohm)

Basic Voltage Current and Resistance
The relationship between voltage, cur-
rent, and resistance can be substituted
E (Voltage) with the water flow as illustrated.

R (Resistance)

I (Current)

Voltage and current


The device in the illustration shows how
the speed of the waterwheel changes by
changing the water volume in the left
tank. This means that the speed of the
water flowing to the waterwheel changes
with the change in the water pressure in
the tank.
When this phenomenon of water is sub-
stituted with electricity, the water volume
(water pressure) is the voltage, and the
water flow is the electrical current.

Current and resistance


The force of the water flow changes with
the height of the gate that is located
between the tank and the waterwheel.
As a result, the speed of the waterwheel
changes.
This gate is equivalent to the resistance
in an electrical circuit.

-3-
Current, voltage, and resistance
Increasing the water volume in the tank
increases the speed of the waterwheel.
On the other hand, lowering the gate to
oppose the water flow decreases the
speed of the waterwheel. Thus, it is pos-
sible to operate the waterwheel at a
desired speed by adjusting the water
pressure and the height of the gate.
Similarly, in an electrical circuit, the
desired amount of work is allocated to
various devices by changing the value of
the resistance or voltage.
(1/1)

Ohm's Law
The following relationship exists between current, volt-
age, and resistance:
• Increasing voltage increases the amount of current.
• Decreasing resistance increases the amount of cur-
rent.
This relationship can be summarized as follows: the
amount of current increases in direct proportion to the
amount of voltage, and decreases in inverse proportion to
the amount of resistance.
This relationship between voltage, current, and resistance
is defined by Ohm's law, which is represented by the fol-
lowing formula:
E=RxI
• E: Voltage(V)
• R: Resistance(Ω)
• I: Current(A)
HINT:
By visualizing Ohm's law as shown in the diagram,
you will be able to instantly recall this relationship.
In the diagram, the vertical relationship represents
division and the horizontal relationship represents
multiplication.
To obtain E, "R x I"
To obtain R, "E / I"
To obtain I, "E / R"

Electric Power
Electric power is represented by the amount of work per-
formed by an electrical device in one second.
It is measured in watts (W), and 1W is the amount of
power that is obtained when a voltage of 1 V is applied to
a load resistance of 1ɹ, and a current of 1 A flows for
one second.
The amount of power is calculated with the following for-
mula:
P=IxV
• P: Amount of power, unit: W
• I: Current, unit: A
• V: Voltage, unit: V
Example:
If 5A of current is applied in one second using a voltage of
12 V, the electrical device performs 60W of work. (5 x 12
= 60)
(1/1)

Direct Current and Alternating Current


A current of constant direction with a magnitude that does
not vary is called direct current. On the other hand, a cur-
rent that reverses direction and has a variable magnitude
0
Time is called alternating current.
Time 1. Direct Current (DC)
This is a type of current that flows in a constant direc-
tion, from the positive pole to the negative pole, as in
an automotive battery or a dry cell.
2. Alternating Current (AC)
This is a type of current that reverses direction at reg-
ular intervals. The electricity in the household outlets
or industrial three-phase power supply used in facto-
ries is some examples.

Parallel Connection & Series Connection Description
An electric circuit can be divided into a
series connection or parallel connection,
depending on how the electrical devices
are connected.
1. Series connection
With this method, multiple electric
devices are connected serially with a
single electric wire.
Figure 1 represents a series con-
nection in the form of a water flow.
The uniqueness of this water flow is
that an equal volume of water flows
through each of these waterfalls,
which is also equal to the volume of
water that flows from the source.
(I0 = I1 = I2 = I3)
Moreover, the sum of the height of
the three individual waterfalls equals
the height of the entire waterfall.
(V0 = V1 + V2 + V3)
2. Parallel connection
With this method, multiple electric
devices are connected to a single
electric wire.
Figure 2 represents a parallel con-
nection in the form of water flowing.
All the waterfalls have the same
height.
(V0 = V1 = V2 = V3)
Moreover, the sum of the volume of
the water that flows through the
waterfalls is equal to the total volume
of water.
(I0 = I1 + I2 + I3)
(1/1)
Resistance
1. Resistance of a series circuit
The combined resistance of the entire circuit is equal
R1 R2 R3 R0 to the sum of the resistors in the circuit.
R0= R1 + R2 + R3

-6-
2. Resistance of a parallel circuit
R1 The combined resistance of the entire circuit can be
calculated with the following formula:
R0 R0 = 1 / (1 / R1 + 1 / R2 + 1 / R3)
R2 R0 is smaller than the smallest one between R1, R2,
and R3.

Current
1. Amperage of a series circuit

cal devices in the circuit is the same as for any other
electrical device in the entire circuit.

trical devices in the circuit is equal to the amperage of

the electrical devices in the circuit is equal to the volt-

REFERENCE
Voltage drop
While a current flows through a circuit,
its voltage decreases each time it
passes a resistor.
This decrease is called a voltage drop.
In the series circuit shown on the left, the
power source has 12 V. The voltage that
2V drops each time the current passes
4V through a resistor can be calculated with
12V the following formula:
6V • Voltage drop when the current flows
0V 0V through 2 Ω resistor:
12 V x 2 Ω / ( 2 Ω + 4 Ω + 6 Ω) = 2V
• Voltage drop when the current flows
through 4 ɹ resistor:
12 V x 4 Ω / ( 2 Ω+ 4 Ω+ 6 Ω) = 4V
• Voltage drop when the current flows
through 6 ɹ resistor:
12 V x 6 Ω / ( 2 Ω+ 4 Ω+ 6 Ω) = 6V
(1/1)

2. Voltage of a parallel circuit


The voltage drop that occurs at each electrical device
V3 in the circuit is the same as any other electrical
device, as well as the voltage of the entire circuit.

Electrical Circuit Relay and Fuse
If the electrical circuit for devices requir-
ing a high amperage consists of a power
source, a switch, and a light bulb that
are directly connected, the switch and
the wiring harness must be of a high
Moving contact
capacity that can withstand the high
1 3 Spring amperage. However, through the use of
Battery
a low-amperage current, a switch can
Coil Fuse
turn a relay ON and OFF, which in turn,
can apply the high amperage that flows
to turn the light bulb ON and OFF.
2 4 Light bulb The diagram on the left describes the
mechanism of a relay. When the switch
Switch closes, the current flows between points
1 and 2, thus magnetizing the coil. The
magnetic force of the coil attracts the
moving contact between points 3 and 4.
As a result, points 3 and 4 close and
allow the current to flow to the light bulb.
Thus, through the use of a relay, the
switch and the wiring harness to the
switch can be of a low capacity.
(1/3)

Fuse
A thin metal strip which burns out when
too much current flows through it,
thereby stopping current flow and pro-
tecting a circuit from damage.
Fusible link
A heavy-gauge wire placed in high
amperage circuits which burns out on
overloads, thereby protecting the circuit.
Fuses in circuit diagrams appear as
shown in the right side in the illustration.

Types of relays
Relays are classified into the following
types, depending on how they open or
close:
(A) (B)
1. Normally open type:
This type normally opens, and closes
only when the coil is energized.
(A) and (B) in the diagram
2. Normally closed type:
This type normally closes, and opens

only when the coil is energized.

3. Double throw type:
This type switches between two con-
tacts, depending on the state of the
coil.

Function of Capacitor Description


A capacitor contains electrodes, which consist of two
metal plates or metal films that face each other. An insula-
tor (or a dielectric substance), which can be made of vari-
ous materials, is placed between the electrodes. (In the
diagram, air acts as an insulator.)
When voltage is applied to both electrodes by connecting
the positive and negative terminals of a battery, the facing
electrodes will become positively and negatively charged.
The electric charges will remain even after the power
source has been disconnected, as the capacitor has a
charging effect. When the electrodes of a charged capac-
itor are shorted, there will be a momentary flow of current,
Electrode and the stored charge will become neutralized and disap-
pear. Thus, the capacitor is discharged.
In addition to the charge storage function described
above, a significant characteristic of a capacitor is that it
prevents a direct current from flowing through.
The following are examples of circuits that utilize the
Positively charged charge storage function of a capacitor: A regulator circuit
Negatively charged
for the power supply, a backup circuit for the microproces-
sor, and a timer circuit that utilizes the length of time
required for charging and discharging a capacitor. Also
the circuits that utilize the characteristic of a capacitor to
shut off a direct current are the filters that extract or elimi-
nate specific frequency elements.
Using of these characteristics, capacitors are used in
automotive electric circuits for many purposes, such as to
eliminate noise or substitute for a power source or a
switch.

REFERENCE:
A capacitor is also known as a condenser.

Charging Characteristics of Capacitor
When a direct current voltage is applied
to a completely discharged capacitor,
the current will initially flow at a rapid
rate. After the capacitor starts to store
electricity, the flow of the current dimin-
ishes. Ultimately, when the electrostatic
capacity (the ability of the capacitor to

E&I
store electricity) of the capacitor has
E (Voltage)
Direction I (Current)
been reached, the flow of the current will
of current V stop. The voltage of the capacitor at this
time is equal to the applied voltage.

An electrical device operates normally if
there are no malfunctions in its circuit.

By measuring the voltage in each area, it
becomes evident that there is no voltage

This indicates that the conductor is dis-
rupted at connector A (or C), which

This type of failure is called an open cir-
cuit.

A voltage check at each end of the light
bulb in the circuit has detected

In this circuit, the normal voltage at each

this symptom indicates the presence of

a resistor other than the light bulb.

12V

Identifying the area of a malfunction


The function of a fuse is to prevent wir-
ing or equipment from being damaged
by opening the circuit as a result of heat-
A B ing and melting when excessive amper-
age flows through it.
For this reason, it can be assumed that
excessive amperage has flowed through
this circuit.
Because this is a direct current circuit in
which the voltage remains constant,
12V there is the possibility of a short circuit
between the wiring harness and ground
that caused the excessive amperage to
flow.
Upon measuring the resistance between
each connector and ground, 0 Ω has
been detected at connector B.
This indicates that connector B has
shorted to ground, causing an excessive
amperage to flow through this circuit.

Principle of Electricity Generation Electromagnetic Induction
An electrical conductor that can be moved freely is placed
between the N and S (magnetic) poles of a magnet as
shown in the diagram. Then, a galvanometer is con-
nected to the conductor to complete a circuit.
When the conductor is moved between the magnetic
poles as shown in the diagram, the indicator of the galva-
nometer swings.
Thus, when the conductor is moved between the mag-
netic poles, the conductor crosses and cuts off the mag-
netic flux, which generates a current. For this reason, if
Galvanometer
the conductor is moved parallel to the magnetic flux, no
current will be generated.
A This phenomenon that generates current is called an
electromagnetic induction, and the current that flows
through the conductor is called an induction current.
N The induction current is generated by the electromotive
S force that is created in the conductor as a result of the
electromagnetic induction. This electromotive force is
therefore called an inductive electromotive force.

Direction of Electromotive Force


The diagram shows the relationship

field, the direction of the inductive elec-

B right-hand rule.
I I According to this rule, the following
applies when the thumb, index finger,
N F and middle finger of the right hand are
opened to form right angles:
Index finger: Direction of flux (B)
Middle finger: Direction of current (I)
Thumb: Direction of motion (F).

Amount of Electromotive Force

1 12 11
tive force is directly proportionate to the
2 10 number of magnetic flux lines that the
conductor disrupts per unit of time.

conductor, which moves at a constant

speed in one direction between mag-

netic flux lines of the same density, is the
same at any point.
However, if the movement direction of
the conductor is not the same, the elec-
tromotive force will vary even if the

In the diagram, the conductor rotates

When the conductor is in positions 0 and
magnetic flux lines having the same density 6, the direction of the magnetic flux and
2 A conductor that moves at a constant speed in the path of a circle the movement direction of the conductor
between magnetic flux lines having the same density are parallel to each other. Therefore, it
will not generate an electromotive force.
Conversely, when the conductor is in
positions 3 and 9, the direction of the
movement of the conductor crosses the
magnetic flux perpendicularly. This cre-
ates the greatest amount of electromo-
tive force.
The sine graph below represents the
relationship between the movement
direction of the conductor and the
amount of electromotive force.
(1/1)

Principle of the Generator


When a single conductor rotates in a
magnetic field as shown in the diagram,
N an inductive electromagnetic force will
S be generated through electromagnetic
induction.
When the conductor is bent and rotated
as shown in the diagram, twice the
N amount of inductive electromotive force
S will be generated.
When the conductor is formed into a coil
as shown in the diagram, greater
N amount of inductive electromotive force
S will be generated. In this manner, the
rotation of the conductor in the magnetic
field generates an inductive electromo-
tive force.
The greater the number of windings in
the conductor, the greater the amount of
inductive electromotive force that will be
generated.

Alternating-current Generator

tive electromotive force that is generated

ing on the position of the coil.

Self-induction Effect
When the switch in diagram 1 is closed

or opened, the magnetic flux in the coil


changes. To create the same conditions
without allowing the current to flow
N S through the coil, it will become the same
as moving a magnet in and out of the
coil as shown in diagram 2 .
Moving a magnet in and out of a coil
causes an electromotive force to be gen-
Direction of current flow
erated in the coil. This electromotive
force is generated regardless of whether
a current flows in the coil.
Movement of magnet
Thus, the magnetic flux variances that
N result from the flow or stoppage of cur-
S N S rent through the coil cause the same coil
to generate an electromotive force.
Direction of current flow This phenomenon is called the self-
induction effect.
(1/1)

- 20 -
Mutual Induction Effect
Two coils are arranged in the diagram. When the current
that flows through one coil (primary coil) is changed, an
N electromotive force will be generated in the other coil
(secondary coil), in the direction that prevents the mag-
netic flux in the primary coil from changing. This phenom-
enon is called the mutual induction effect.
A voltage transformer utilizes this effect. A voltage trans-
Secondry
coil
former, which is contained in the ignition coil of a vehicle,
is used to apply a high voltage to the spark plugs.
Because the magnetic flux does not change if a constant
current flows through the primary coil, no electromotive
force will be generated in the secondary coil.
When the primary current is disrupted by turning the
switch from ON to OFF, the magnetic flux that was gener-
ated by the primary current up to that point disappears
ON suddenly. Thus, an electromotive force will be created in
Primary the secondary coil in the direction that will prevent the
coil elimination of the magnetic flux.
Thus, a voltage transformer allows current to flow to the
primary coil, and when the current is cut off, the high volt-
age that is generated by the self-induction effect of the
S primary coil is further increased between the primary and
secondary coils through the mutual induction effect.
The amount of inductive electromotive force that is gener-
ated by this device changes with the following conditions:
• The changing speed of the magnetic flux:
With a given amount of change in the magnetic flux, a
change that occurs within a shorter time generates a
greater amount of electromotive force.
• The amount of magnetic flux:
The greater the amount of change of magnetic flux,
the greater the electromotive force will be.
• The number of windings of the secondary coil: With a
given amount of change in magnetic flux, the greater
the number of windings, the greater the amount of
electromotive force will be.
Thus, in order to generate a high secondary voltage, the
current that flows to the primary coil should be as great as
possible, and then the current should be cut off suddenly.

Good conductors The two most commonly used semiconductor materials

Carbon

Diodes Description
Semiconductor diodes are joined with a n-type and p-type
semiconductors.
There are several types of diodes:
• Ordinary rectifying diode
• Zener diode
• LED (Light-Emitting Diode)
• Photodiode
The diagrams show how an electrical current flows
(1) through a diode.
(1) When the positive pole (+) of the battery is connected
to the p-side and the negative pole (-) to the n-side,
the positive holes of a p-type semiconductor and the
positive pole of the battery repel each other. And the
free electrons of an n-type semiconductor and the
negative pole of the battery repel each other, thus
pushing them towards the p-n joining area. As a
(2)
result, the free electrons and the positive holes attract
each other, thus allowing the current to flow across the
p-n joining area.
(2) When the connections at the battery are reversed, the
positive holes of the p-type semiconductor and the
negative pole of the battery attract each other, and the
free electrons of the n-type semiconductor and the
positive pole of the battery attract each other, thus
pulling away from the p-n joining area. As a result, a
layer that contains neither free electrons nor positive
holes is created at the p-n joining area, thus prevent-
ing the current from flowing.

side to the n-side.

100V
+V n-side.
-V 1V

N P requirements:
-A Silicon diode (A): About 0.3V
Germanium diode (B): About 0.7V
The current will not flow if a voltage is
applied in the opposite direction
(from the n-side to the p-side).
Although an extremely small current
practically flows, called the reverse
leakage current, it is treated as non-
flowing because it does not affect the
operation of the actual circuit.
However, if this reverse leakage volt-
age is sufficiently increased, the
amperage of the current allowed
through by the diode will suddenly
increase.
This phenomenon is called diode
breakdown, and the voltage that is
applied is called the breakdown volt-
age.

The photodiode is a p-n joining diode
that consists of a semiconductor and
a lens.
If a reverse direction voltage is
applied to a photodiode that is
exposed to light, a reverse current
will flow.
The amperage of this current will
vary in proportion to the amount of
light that falls on the photodiode.

determine the amount of the light by
detecting the amperage of the
reverse current when the reverse
voltage is applied.

NPN PNP A transistor contains three layers consisting of a p-
type semiconductor sandwiched between two n-type
C E
semiconductors, or an n-type semiconductor sand-
wiched between two p-type semiconductors. An elec-
trode is attached to each substrate layer: B (base), E
B B
(emitter), and C (collector).
Ordinary transistors come in two varieties, npn and
E C pnp, depending on how the semiconductors are
arranged.
C E
A transistor performs the following functions:
B B • Amplification
• Switching
E C 2. Basic operation
In an npn transistor, when current IB flows from B to E,
current IC flows from C to E.
C In a pnp transistor, when current IB flows from E (emit-
B
ter) to B (base), current IC flows from E to C.
E IB
E The current IB is called the base current, and current
B IC is called the collector current.
IB IC C IC
Therefore the current IC will not flow unless the current
IB flows.

3. Characteristics
In an ordinary transistor, the collector current (IC) and
A B
the base current (IB) have the relationship shown in
IC the diagram.
(A)
Ordinary transistors have two basic functions or uses:
As shown in the graph on the left, portion "A" can be
used as a signal amplifier and portion "B" can be used
as a switch.
4. Signal amplification
In range "A" of the graph, the collector current is 10 to
1,000 times the base current. Thus, the signal that the
IB (mA)
input signal is enlarged is output from the output termi-
nal when the electrical signal “B” (base) of the transis-
tor is applied as the input.

Phototransistor
1. Characteristics
When the phototransistor receives
light while power (+) is applied to its
collector and ground (-) is applied to
its emitter, a current flows through
the circuit.
The amperage of the current that
flows through the circuit varies by the
amount of light that shines on the
phototransistor.
Therefore, the light that shines on the
phototransistor has the same func-
tion as that of the base current of an
ordinary transistor.

A thermistor is a type of semiconduc-
tor whose electrical resistance
changes with changes in tempera-
ture.
In other words, a thermistor can
determine the temperature by detect-
ing resistance.
In the most common type of ther-
mistor, a negative temperature coeffi-
cient thermistor, the resistance
decreases as the temperature
increases. There is also a positive
temperature coefficient thermistor, in
which the resistance increases as
the temperature increases.

Also, there are some piezoelectric
elements that produce a voltage.

Because the changes in the resis-
tance in these elements are small,
ICs (Integrated Circuits) are ampli-

circuits. ICs have several advantages over non-integrated circuits:
• Since many elements can be built into or onto a single
silicon chip, contact junctions can be reduced consid-
IC chip erably, resulting in reduced failures.
• They are much smaller and lighter.
• Production costs are much lower.

REFERENCE:
An IC containing a large number of elements, i.e.

Logic Circuits
1. Description
Digital ICs contain several different elements.
The circuits in a digital IC are called logic circuits or
digital circuits, and are made up of combinations of
different types of socalled gates, such as NOT, OR,
NOR, AND, and NAND gates.
Because these gates have the special ability to logi-
cally process two or more signals, they are also called
logic gates.
A certain logical relationship is established between
digital signal inputs and outputs.
A truth table represents the relationship between digi-
tal signal inputs and outputs in a table format.
Logic circuit In a truth table, 1 represents the presence of a volt-

2. NOT gate
A NOT gate outputs a signal that is
the opposite of the input signal.
When a voltage is applied to input
terminal A, no voltage is output at
output terminal Y.
Transpose this function on a electri-
cal circuit that has the same function
as a NOT gate. When switch A
closes (ON), it opens (OFF) the con-
tact points in the relay, which causes
the lamp to turn off.

3. OR gate
In an OR gate, the output will be 1 as
long as either of the input signals is

When a voltage is applied to either or
both input terminals A and B, there
will be a voltage at output terminal Y.
Transpose this function on a electri-
cal circuit that has the same function
as an OR gate. When either or both
switches A or B are closed (ON), the
lamp turns on.

Microcomputer Description and Construction
1. Description
A microcomputer receives signals from input devices,
processes those signals, and controls output devices.
At Toyota, a microcomputer is called an ECU (Elec-
Microcomputer tronic Control Unit).
In common on-vehicle systems, input devices are sen-
sors, and output devices are actuators.
Memory
2. Construction
A microcomputer consists of a CPU (Central Process-
ing Unit), various memory devices, and an I/O (input/
Central
output) interface.
Processing • Memory
Unit
(CPU) Memory is comprised electric circuits that store pro-
grams to be operated or data to be exchanged.
There are two types of memory: ROM (Read-Only
Memory), and RAM (Random Access Memory).
The ROM cannot be changed or deleted. Thus, the
I/O interface
Input Output stored data will not disappear even if the power is
device(s) device(s)
turned off. For this reason, the ROM is used for stor-
ing programs that do not need to be changed or
deleted.
The RAM is a type of memory in which data can be
changed or deleted. Any data that is stored disap-
pears when the power is turned off. Therefore, the
RAM is used for storing data that can be changed or
deleted through calculations performed by a CPU.
• CPU
The CPU is the functional center of a computer that
consists of a control device and a computing device.
It executes the commands that are ordered by a pro-
gram accoding to the signals from the input devices,
and controls the output devices.
• I/O interface
An I/O interface converts the data from input devices
into signals that can be identified by the CPU and
memory.
In addition, it reconverts the CPU-processed data
into signals that can be identified by the output
devices.
Because the data transfer speeds of the I/O devices,
CPU, and memory devices are different, one of the
functions of an I/O interface is to adjust those
speeds.

1. How to read the connector pin


number
Pins consist of male pins that are
inserted and female pins in which the
male pins are inserted. Connectors
with male pins are called male con-
Locking portion
nectors, and connectors with female
pins are called female connectors.
Connectors have locks to ensure the
connectors are securely connected.
(4/6)

Female Male
connector connector ( )
Female pin Male pin

- 53 -
The connector's locking portion is ori-
ented facing up so that when reading the
pin numbers on the connection surface,
the numbers are read from top left for
the female connector as shown in the
left in the illustration.
For the male connector, the numbers are
read from top right like the mirror image
of the female connector as shown in the
right in the illustration.

Female connector Male connector

When using a tester to check the volt-


age, use a probe as shown in the figure
to check the voltage.
However, at this time the pin number is
read from the back of the connector.
Therefore, this is the reverse of when
reading from the connecting surface, so
be careful when reading the pin num-
bers.

Principal of OBD (On-Board Diagnosis) What Is Diagnosis?
The on-board diagnostic system is the vehicle's self-diag-
nosis function that is provided by the ECU (Electronic
Wire harness Wire harness Control Unit).
Upon receiving the signals from the sensors that detect
ECU the conditions of the vehicle, the ECU transmits signals to
the actuators optimally for the current conditions.
The ECU receives signals from the sensors in the form of
voltage.
Sensor The ECU can determine the conditions of the system by
Actuator
detecting the changes in the voltage of the signals that
are output by the sensors.
Thus, the ECU constantly monitors the input signals (volt-
age), compares them to the standard values that are
stored in the ECU's memory, and determines any abnor-
(V) Abnormal range mal conditions.

Initial Setup Outline of Initial Setup


The first step after connecting the hand-held tester to a
vehicle is the initial setup.
The initial setup must be performed to change the set-
tings because the data that is stored on the program card
varies by destination or for the peripheral devices such as
a printer.
Normally, the initial setup is performed only when the
tester is used for the first time, so this step is unnecessary
at other times.
The following appears on the display panel:

History of OBD
As vehicle control systems evolved from the mechanically to the electronically controlled type, it became increas-
ingly difficult for the technicians to make the proper pass-fail judgment during troubleshooting. At this time, the OBD
system came into existence.
With advances in technology, a greater number of systems started operating under many ECUs, prompting the
appearance of new OBD systems, including OBD systems that comply with the regulations adopted by the regions
in which the vehicles are operated.
The chart below shows the chronology of the OBD systems.

Outline of OBD/MOBD
The MOBD (Multiplex On-Board Diagnostic) system enables a hand-held tester to directly communicate with the
ECU when the tester is connected to the DLC3 on the vehicle, in order to read DTCs and data.
1. Characteristics of MOBD:
Destinations: Europe and General Countries
5 digits: (P####), (B####), and (C####) *Each "#" indicates a number or an alphabet.
For some models with diesel EFI, only 2-digit DTCs will be displayed even when the tester directly communi-
cated.
However it is possible to read DTC in detail through using the sub-code (1) or (2) than MIL blinking pattern.
2. Principal functions of MOBD:
• Able to read DTCs
• Able to read the ECU data
• Able to perform active tests

DTC indication: 5 digits (P####) *Each "#" indicates a number or an alphabet.
2. Characteristics of EURO OBD:
Destination: Europe
DTC indication: 5 digits (P####) *Each "#" indicates a number or an alphabet.
3. Main functions of CARB OBD-II and EURO OBD:
• Able to read DTCs
• Able to read the ECU data
4. Differences between CARB OBD-II and EURO OBD:
The CARB OBD-II and EURO OBD are almost identical, except for the difference in the regulations adopted in
North America and Europe.
Some of the items that appear on the display panel or the values at which the engine ECU determines an abnor-
mal condition are affected by this difference.
HINT:
• The methods for operating the hand-held tester for the CARB OBD-II and EURO OBD are the same as for the
OBD/MOBD.
• Because these diagnostic systems comply with regulations, it is unnecessary to select the vehicle model.
• The items that appear on the "FUNCTION MENU" of the CARB OBD-II and EURO OBD are different.
5. Enhanced OBD-II
The Enhanced OBD-II system enables the hand-held tester to read the CARB OBD-II DTCs and data in compli-
ance with the regulations, as well as Toyota's own DTCs and data. In addition, this system enables the hand-
held tester to perform active tests.

General Description General Description
All gasoline engines mounted on Toyota
automobiles are four-stroke engines.
Four-stroke engines operate by continu-
ous and regular repetition of the follow-
ing sequence:
1. Intake stroke
2. Compression stroke
3. Combustion stroke
4. Exhaust stroke
Basic principle of four-stroke engine
In order for an engine to operate
smoothly under a wide range of operat-
ing conditions, the following three condi-
tions must be satisfied:
• Good air-fuel mixture
• Good compression
• Good spark
(1/1)

Three Elements of Gasoline Engines Good Air-fuel Mixture


1. Good air-fuel mixture for automobiles
(1) Gasoline is vaporized and sufficiently mixed with air
In order for gasoline to completely burn, it must be
sufficiently vaporized and mixed with air.
Air (2) Proper air-fuel mixture
Automobiles are used under various operating condi-
tions and there is a change in the engine operating
condition, the required air-fuel mixture changes as
well.
15
• When the air temperature changes from high to low.
• When the driving surface changes from flat ground to
a steep incline and a heavy load is applied to the
engine.
Theoretical • When the engine speed changes widely from idling
air-fuel ratio
to high speed for acceleration.
Fuel 1
10 15 20 2. Air-fuel ratio
Richer Air-fuel ratio Leaner The air-fuel ratio is the ratio of the mass of air to fuel.
When the amount of air is too great or too small, the
gasoline does not burn well, resulting in incomplete
combustion. There is a minimum of 14.7 parts air
required to completely burn 1 part gasoline. This is
called the theoretical air-fuel ratio.
However, in actual gasoline engines, even though the
gasoline is injected to meet the theoretical air-fuel
ratio, not all the gasoline can be vaporized and mixed
with the air. For that reason, under some conditions a
richer air-fuel mixture is necessary.
(1/2)

- 94
-
3. Air fuel ratio and driving conditions
(3) At starting:
At starting, the walls of the intake manifold, the cylin-
ders and the cylinder head are cold, causing the fuel
sprayed by the injectors to adhere to them. In this
Air
case, the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber
becomes lean. Therefore, the rich air-fuel mixture is
required.
(4) Warming-up:
15 The lower the coolant temperature is, the vaporized
condition of the gasoline becomes worse, causing
ignition worse. Therefore, the rich air-fuel mixture is
required.
Theoretical
air-fuel ratio (5) When accelerating:
Fuel 1
When the accelerator pedal is depressed, a fuel sup-
10 15 20 ply lag occurs by load change, resulting in a leaner
Richer Air-fuel ratio Leaner fuel mixture. Therefore, an additional amount of fuel is
injected to the mixture.
(6) When cruising (constant speed):
After the engine is completely warmed up, the fuel
mixture supplied to the engine is very close to the the-
oretical air-fuel ratio.
(7) Under heavy loads:
When a higher output of power is needed, a slightly
richer fuel mixture is supplied to the engine to lower
the burning temperature and ensure that all of the
intake air is used in combustion.
(8) When decelerating:
As engine output is not needed, fuel is cut-off in a part
of this driving condition in order to clean exhaust gas-
ses.
(2/2)

- 95
-
Good Compression
1. Necessity of compressing the air-
Volume of combustion chamber (A) + Volume of cylinder (B)
fuel mixture
Compression
=
ratio Volume of combustion chamber (A) When an uncompressed air-fuel mixture
is ignited, it burns slowly due to the low
density of fuel and air. However, when
compressed air-fuel mixture is ignited,
A A the high density causes the mixture to
suddenly burn (explode).
B Even when the fuel mixture is the same,
a compressed mixture will release more
power than an uncompressed mixture
when ignited.
Furthermore, compressing the air-fuel
mixture causes the fuel and air to mix
more thoroughly, resulting in a higher
rate of vaporization of the gasoline and
higher temperature when ignited. The
compressed air-fuel mixture also burns
more easily than before.
The level of compression of the air-fuel
mixture is expressed in the compression
ratio. Generally, the greater explosive
pressure can be attained when the com-
pression pressure is higher. However
the knocking occurs if the pressure is
too high. Therefore, the compression
ratio of the gasoline engine is normally
designed to be between 9 to 11.
(1/1)
Good Spark
The gasoline engine converts the com-
1 Spark plug 2 bustion of the air-fuel mixture to motive
force.
In order for the air-fuel mixture to burn
well, it is important to have a powerful
enough spark with proper ignition timing.
1. Conditions for a good spark
Air-fuel
mixture (1) Ability to generate a powerful spark
enough for the air-fuel mixture to
burn (explode)
The spark plug in a gasoline engine
generates a spark to burn the air-fuel
mixture. If the spark is weak, there
will not be enough energy to ignite
the air-fuel mixture. For that reason,
a powerful spark is essential.
(2) Ability to keep the proper ignition tim-
ing for every engine condition
The ignition timing changes accord-
ing to engine speed or load to ensure
that there is always proper ignition
timing.

Engine Proper Description

nents to help it convert heat energy into

air-fuel mixture is burned.

Cylinder Block
Cylinder block The cylinder block acts to maintain the compression pres-
sure with the piston and receive the combustion pressure.
Recent cylinder block consists of the aluminum cylinder
block and the cylinder liner. However, there are engines
without cylinder liners (2ZZ-GE engine).
Also there are cylinder blocks made of cast iron. The cyl-
inder bore is a cylindrical shape. However it becomes
inclined for the upper part of the cylinder, which becomes
high temperature and high pressure, and the piston thrust
side, which is pressurized with the thrust force of the pis-
ton to wear. For this reason, the cylind

direct contact with other metal parts.
When the oil clearance becomes larger, abnormal sounds
occur and oil pressure decreases, leading to seizing.

Piston
1. Description
The piston consists of the lowest part of the combus-
B tion chamber. In order for the pis-ton to move, there
needs to be clearance between the piston and the cyl-
inder wall.
The construction is designed to maintain the proper
A clearance when the piston expands due to high tem-
peratures during combustion.
• As the piston boss part is thicker, it is easily affected
Oval
Circle by heat expansion. Therefore it is made to be slightly
Small oval than the direction of right angle for the piston pin
Piston pin boss (B) so that the diameter in the direction of the piston
pin (A) expands to make a circle during heat expan-
sion.
Piston • The piston head is exposed to high temperature dur-
skirt ing combustion, and it is not directly cooled by cool-
ant and air. For that reason, the piston head reaches
greater temperatures than the piston skirt. Taking
Large into account the heat expansion during combustion,

Truncated cone True cylinder the piston head is slightly tapered when compared to
the diameter of the piston skirt.
Cold Hot
HINT:
• For the piston diameter, measure the area specified
in the Repair Manual.
• Note that the location for measurement is not the
maximum diameter.
For that reason, keep in mind that the standard oil
clearance of the piston in the Repair Manual is not
the actual gap between the cylinder and the piston.
(1/4)

2. Thrust force
Combustion pressure Compression pressure When the pressure during compres-
sion or combustion acts on the pis-
ton, a part of that force acts on the
piston skirt and causes it to push
against the cylinder wall. This is
called thrust force.
Thrust force is divided into two types:
major thrust force and minor thrust
force.
The former occurs during the com-
bustion stroke and the later occurs
during the compression stroke.
(2/4)
Major thrust force Minor thrust force

3. Piston slap (Side knocking)
Piston slap Piston slap is the noise that occurs when the piston
hits against the cylinder wall. This is also called "side
knocking".
Piston slap occurs when the direction of the thrust
force changes from the compression to combustion
strokes. Piston slap is affected by the amount of pis-
ton clearance. When the piston clearance is large,
there is a greater piston slap. In some engines, the
centerline of the piston and the centerline of the piston
pin are slightly offset in order to reduce piston slap.
4. Operation of offset pistons
In engines with offset pistons, the direction of thrust of
the piston changes from the minor thrust direction to
the major thrust direction near the end of the compres-

Center of piston pin Center of piston because the piston's thrust direction changes before
the piston receives combustion pressure.

5. Piston size
Piston size code and front mark When the piston and cylinder wear beyond the allow-
(5VZ-FE engine)
able limit, it is necessary to replace the cylinder block
or piston, or to rebore the cylinder block or cylinder
liner and use oversize pistons. The piston and piston
pin are usually provided as a piston assembly.
Piston size code • The standard size, which indicates the piston diame-
ter, is inscribed.
• The piston must be installed facing the correct direc-
Front mark
tion.
• The direction is inscribed on the piston head.
• The side with the mark represents the front side.
• The exact location of the inscription differs according
to the engine model.
(1) Standard size piston
When the engine is assembled, each standard size
piston is set for each cylinder bore size to achieve pis-
ton clearance precision.
As the number gets larger, the piston diameter
increases incrementally by 0.01 mm (0.0004 in.) units.
Recently, engines have only one cylinder bore size
and one piston size.
(2) Oversize piston
The size of an oversize piston is determined by the
extent of wear on the cylinder.
Normally, only the 0.50 oversize piston is available as
supply parts.
The 0.50 value in the oversize piston means that it is
0.50 mm (0.020 in.) larger than the standard size pis-
ton.
Besides the oversize piston written above, there are
engines that require supply parts for 0.75 and 1.00
sizes.
For some engines, oversize pistons are not available
as supply parts.

Striations on the Piston Skirt
The piston skirt has been striation fin-
ished to improve the lubrication proper-
ties.
The striations on the piston skirt are not
a poor finishing. In some engines, the
striated piston skirt has been coated with
a composite resin to reduce friction.

(1) Ring pumping effect
The piston ring moves up and down inside the piston
Cylinder ring groove while the engine is running. This acts to
pump oil on the ring, helping to improve lubrication. If
the gap between a piston ring and piston ring groove
is too large, the pumping effect will also be large,
resulting in an increase in oil consumption.
(2) Ring flutter
When the piston ring vibrates up and down or side to

decreases.
When this condition continues, the piston ring or pis-
ton ring groove will experience abnormal wear and

Valve Mechanism
The valve mechanism opens or closes
the intake valve and exhaust valve at the
proper timing in order to draw the air-fuel
mixture into the cylinder and discharge
the combustion gas into the outside.
1. Valve opening and closing system
The rotation of the crankshaft is
transferred to the camshaft via the
timing chain (timing belt), rotating the
cam.
The number of teeth on the camshaft
sprocket (pulley) is double that of the
crankshaft so that the camshaft
rotates once for every two rotations
of the crankshaft.
As the camshaft rotates, the cam
forces the valve to open or close.

e HINT:
c
• Valve springs have the natural fre-
a=c<b d>e quency. When the number of the
valve opening and closing and the
natural frequency match to vibrate
together, the waviness vibration
may occur irrelevant to camshaft
operation. This condition is called
surging and it can be a cause of
abnormal engine noise as well as
damage to the valve spring or inter-
ference between the valve and pis-
ton.
• Asymmetrical type of uneven pitch
springs is installed with the wider
pitch toward the top.
(2/4)
4. Valve seat
The valve seat is press-fitted into the cylinder head.
When the valve closes, the valve face and valve seat
fit closely together to make the combustion chamber
airtight. The valve seat also transfers heat from the
valve to the cylinder head, serving to cool the valve as
well.
Since the valve seat is exposed to high temperature
combustion gas, and repeated contact with the valve,
it is constructed of a metal that excels in resistance to
heat and wear. When the valve seat wears, it can be

inder head making the valve seat and the cylinder


head one unit on some engines. With this type of laser
clad valve seat, replacement is impossible.

REFERENCE:
Valve seats are generally shaped like a 45° cone in order
to fit with the valve face.
The valve seat contact width is generally from 1.0 mm to
1.4 mm.
The wider the contact area of the valve seat, the greater
the cooling effect will be, however air-tightness may suffer
since carbon intrusion is likely.
In contrast, the narrower the contact area of the valve
seat, the lesser the cooling effect and the lesser the likeli-
hood of carbon intrusion will be.

5. Valve guide bushing and oil seal
Oil seal The valve guide bushing is generally made of cast iron
Valve guide bushing
Valve stem and is press-fitted into the cylinder head. It acts to
guide the movement of the valve so that it closely fits
the valve seat and valve face.
The contact surfaces of the valve guide and valve
stem are lubricated with engine oil. To prevent excess
oil from entering the combustion chamber, a rubber oil
seal is fitted on the topside of the valve guide bushing.

SERVICE HINT:
"Valve sticking" occurs when the valve stem in the
valve bushing guide stops moving smoothly or stops
moving completely. This occurs when the amount of
clearance between the valve stem and the valve guide
bushing is too small or when they are not sufficiently
lubricated.
Engine oil If the valve stem oil seal is broken or hardens, engine
oil will enter the combustion chamber and be burned.
This can cause excessive oil consumption.

Recently in some engines, the valve tim-
ing can be changed such as the VVT-i
(Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) and
those that control not only valve timing,
but also the amount of lift such as the
VVTL-i (Variable Valve Timing and Lift-
intelligent).
The stability at idling, output improve-
ment or EGR efficiency of valve overlap
is utilized effectively by making the valve
timing changeable.
(1/2)

- 115
-
Valve overlap
From the end of the exhaust stroke to the beginning of the intake stroke, the intake valve and the exhaust valve
have a moment when they are simultaneously open. This is called valve overlap. Generally, a larger valve overlap
gives better high-speed performance, but causes unstable idling.
NOTICE:
The optimal valve timing is predetermined for each engine models.
If valve timing is not correct, engine idling will be unstable or there will be a drop in output.
If the timing belt is broken or cut off, the rotational movement of the camshaft is stopped, and the piston could inter-
fere with valves. Then pistons, valves and valve lifters etc., could be damaged.
For that reason, in engines with timing belts, they are replaced every 100,000 km (60,000 miles) or 150,000 km
(90,000 miles).
In some engines, however, even if the timing belt is cut off, the top surface of the piston is constructed with a valve
cut-out to prevent the piston from making contact with the valves. This type of engine requires that the timing belt be
replaced when it breaks and is not set as a periodic maintenance item.
HINT:
Timing chains are "maintenance-free" meaning that they do not need periodic replacement
(2/2)

Valve Clearance
Since each engine part (cylinder head, cylinder block and
valves, etc.) is subject to heat expansion, there must be
clearance between the cam and valve lifter (shim) so that
the valves can still smoothly operate even when affected
by heat expansion. This clearance is called valve clear-
ance.

SERVICE HINT:
• Excessive valve clearance can be a cause of abnor-
mal engine noise and valve mistiming.
• Insufficient valve clearance can cause the piston to
thrust up into the valve up.
HINT:
There are two types of valve clearance, depending on
the construction and materials of the engine. One type
increases as the engine heats up while the other type
decreases as the engine heats up.

Oil Pump
The oil pump draws the engine oil from

the engine.
The driven rotor rotates along with the
drive rotor, however because the driven

rotor is eccentricity, the spacing between
both rotors changes with rotation. This
change of spacing is used to draw and
pump the oil.
There is a relief valve built into the oil
pump, which releases at the specified
pressure controlling the maximum oil
pressure.
Relief valve
SERVICE HINT:
When the relief valve sticks, the oil
pressure will fail to rise or rise abnor-
mally causing lubricated parts to sei-
zure or oil leaks to occur.
Also, when the sliding parts inside
the pump wear out, or the gasket or
O-ring is damaged, this causes the
oil pressure to drop.

Oil Filter
All of the oil pumped up by the oil pump passes through
the oil filter where metallic particles from wear and carbon
sludge are filtered out.

circumference of the element, where is filtered, and then
is discharged from the center of the element.
The check valve at the opening of the oil filter is designed
to prevent contaminants, which have collected in the
outer circumference of the element, from flowing back
into the engine when the engine stops.
If the filter element becomes clogged, the pressure differ-
ence occurs between the outer and inner circumference
of the element and increases. When the pressure differ-
ence becomes the prescribed amount, the relief valve

just because the lamp is off, it is no guarantee that
the engine has correct oil pressure at high engine

Oil Cooler
It is best if the temperature of the engine oil does not rise
above 100°C. If the temperature rises above 125°C how-
ever, engine oil lubrication properties will deteriorate sud-
denly.
Water bypass hose
Therefore, to maintain lubrication properties, some
engines are equipped with an oil cooler.
Oil cooler Normally, all of the oil flows into the oil cooler and then
flows to each engine part after it is cooled.
Oil filter At lower temperatures, oil has a higher viscosity and
tends to create a higher oil pressure. When the pressure
difference between the inlet side and the outlet side of the
oil cooler rises above the specified value, the relief valve
opens and the oil flowing from the oil pump bypasses the
Engine coolant oil cooler and flows on to the other parts of the engine,
thus preventing damage from occurring.

Cooling System Description
1. Cooling system
to Radiator When the engine heats up, the cooling system trans-
from Heater core fers that heat to the surrounding air lowering the tem-
perature of the engine. Conversely, when the engine
is cold, the cooling system makes it easier for the
engine to warm up.
In this way, the cooling system serves to maintain an
to Heater core appropriate engine temperature. There are air-cooled
to Throttle body
and water-cooled types, however the water-cooled
type cooling system is mainly used for automobile
engines.

from Radiator
(1) Water-cooled type cooling system
In the water-cooled type cooling system, coolant is cir-
Bypass passage Cylinder head culated to the water jacket, absorbing the heat gener-
ated by the engine and thus maintaining an
appropriate engine temperature.
The absorbed heat is released through the radiator
Water pump
and the cooled coolant is recirculated to cool the
Heater core engine. Also the heat of the coolant can be used by
the heater.
The two types of cooling systems, differentiated by the
Thermostat position of the thermostat are listed below:

Cylinder block
Throttle body <1> Thermostat in water pump inlet side
Radiator
<2> Thermostat in water pump outlet side

Cooling system can also differ in whether or not a


bypass valve that controls the bypass circuit is
present. In recent years, almost all engine cooling
systems are equipped with a thermostat that has a
bypass valve.

Flow of Engine Coolant
1. Thermostat in water inlet type (With bypass valve)
This type features a thermostat mounted in the water
pump inlet. The thermostat is equipped with a bypass
valve and regulates the coolant that passes through
the main route and bypass route by opening and clos-
ing the thermostat according to changes in coolant
temperature.
(1) When the coolant is cold:
When the coolant temperature is low, the thermostat
closes and the bypass valve opens.
The coolant then circulates through the bypass circuit
without passing through the radiator.
This helps the water temperature rise so that the
appropriate engine temperature can be obtained more
quickly.
(2) When the coolant is hot:
When the coolant temperature is high, the thermostat
opens and the bypass valve closes.
All heated coolant flows to the radiator where it is
cooled and passes through the thermostat to return to
the water pump.
In this way the appropriate engine temperature is
maintained
Compared to engines with no bypass valve, when the
coolant temperature is high, it is not circulated to the
bypass valve, so the cooling effect is higher. This also
serves to sensitively operate the thermostat so that
coolant temperature change is lessened, allowing the
engine can run at a stable temperature.
NOTICE:
An engine equipped with a thermostat with bypass valve
should not be run with the thermostat removed. The
bypass circuit is wider in engines with a bypass valve. If
the engine is run while the bypass valve (thermostat) is
removed, more coolant will flow through the bypass cir-
cuit, making it easier for the engine to overheat.

sure from the water pump.
(1/1)
Water Pump
The water pump is driven by a V-belt (V-ribbed belt) and
V-ribbed belt Bearing Mechanical seal circulates coolant through the cooling system and the
Cylinder heater. The rotor and water pump body use a mechanical
block seal to prevent coolant leakage. If this seal is defective
and coolant leaks out, coolant leakage or stem is dis-
charged through a drain hole in the pump body so that
coolant does not leak onto the bearing.
Therefore, when there is coolant leaking or leakage
traces from the drain hole, it is likely that a defective

mechanical seal or bearing is the cause.

HINT:
• Ordinarily, the water pump cannot be repaired by dis-
assembling it and requires a full assembly replace-
ment. There are some models, however, where the
pump can be disassembled and repaired.

teethed side of the V-ribbed belt or water pumps that
are driven by the backside of the belt.

Electric Motor-driven Cooling Fan
Cooling fan 1. Outline
It is necessary for a large volume of air to pass
through the radiator for it to release the heat.
Ordinary driving provides an adequate air flow for
cooling, however when the vehicle is stopped or is
driving at low speeds the volume of air becomes inad-
equate. Therefore the engine is equipped with a cool-
ing fan to force airflow to the radiator.
The electric fan system senses the coolant tempera-

Electric fan rotation speed can be switched between
three stages or to stageless so that cooling perfor-
mance can be adjusted to synchronize with the cool-
ant temperature and AC operation.

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the ignition switch is turned off when

Temperature-controlled Fluid Coupling
1. Overview
The V-belt driven cooling fan increases in fan speed in
proportion to the increase in engine speed.
For this reason, the fan speed of the cooling fan with
the temperature control fluid coupling control the fan
speed by sensing the temperature of the air flowing
through the radiator.
The temperature control fluid coupling contains a fluid
Pulley clutch with silicone oil. The transfer of revolution to the
Fluid coupling fan via the V-belt is controlled by the adjustment of the
amount of oil in the operating chamber.

When the temperature is low, the rate of fan revolution
is decreased helping with engine warm-up and pre-
venting noise. When engine temperature is high, the

Inspection Compression Pressure


1. Check compression pressure
Allow the engine to warm up and stop.
Remove all spark plugs and crank the engine with the
throttle valve fully opened in order to measure the
compression pressure of all cylinders.
HINT:
• Disconnect connectors of all injectors so that fuel can-
not be injected.
• Remove the igniter or disconnect connectors of the
igniter so that a spark is not generated.
• The fully charged battery should be used to obtain an
engine speed of over 250 rpm.
NOTICE:
This inspection must be performed in as short a time as
possible.
Example: 1NZ-FE engine (NZE12#)
Compression pressure: 1,471 kPa ( 15.0 kgf/cm2)
Minimum pressure: 1,079 kPa ( 11.0 kgf/cm2)
Difference between each cylinder: 98 kPa ( 1.0 kgf/
cm2) or less

SERVICE HINT:
If the compression pressure is low, pour a small amount
of engine oil in the spark plug hole. Measure the com-
pression pressure again.
• When the compression pressure rises: A piston ring or
cylinder bore may be worn or damaged.
• When the compression pressure stays low: A valve
may be sticking, a valve seat may be improper, or
there may be leakage from the gasket.

Ignition System Description
The three essential elements of a gasoline engine are:
good air-fuel mixture, good compression, and good spark.
The ignition system generates a powerful spark through
proper ignition timing in order to ignite the air-fuel mixture.
1. Powerful sparks
In the ignition system, sparks are generated between
the electrodes of the spark plugs to burn the air-fuel
mixture. Because even air has electrical resistance,
when it is compressed highly, tens of thousands of
volts must be generated to ensure the generation of
powerful sparks that can ignite the air-fuel mixture.
2. Proper ignition timing
The ignition system must provide proper ignition tim-
ing at all times to accommodate the changes in engine
speed and load.
3. Sufficient durability
The ignition system must be able to provide sufficient
reliability to withstand the vibrations and heat that are
generated by the engine.
(1/2)

The ignition system uses the high volt-


age that is generated by the ignition coil

to produce sparks, which ignite the air-
fuel mixture that has been compressed.
The air-fuel mixture is compressed and
burns in the cylinder. This combustion

Necessity of Ignition Timing Control
In a gasoline engine, the air-fuel mixture is ignited to
TDC
cause combustion, and the force that is generated by the
ATDC10 explosion causes the piston to push downward.
Ignition
timing
The thermal energy can be most efficiently converted into
a motive force when the maximum combustion force is
generated at a crankshaft position of 10° ATDC (After Top
Dead Center).
An engine does not produce the maximum combustion
force simultaneously with ignition; instead, it generates
the maximum combustion force slightly after ignition has
occurred.
Therefore, ignition takes place in advance so that the
maximum combustion force is generated at 10° ATDC.
The ignition timing that enables the engine to generate
the maximum combustion force at 10° ATDC changes
every moment, depending on the operating conditions of
the engine.
Therefore, the ignition system must be able to ignite the
air-fuel mixture at a timing that enables the engine to gen-
erate an explosive force in the most efficient manner in
Rotational direction accordance with the operating conditions.

1. Ignition delay period
C Combustion of the air-fuel mixture does not occur
TDC instantly after ignition. Instead, a small area (flame
nucleus) in the immediate vicinity of the spark starts to
burn, and this process eventually expands to the sur-
MPa

rounding area.
The period from the time when the air-fuel mixture is
ignited until it is burned is called the ignition delay
B period (between A and B in the diagram).
A
The ignition delay period is practically constant, and is
not affected by the changes in the conditions of the
BTDC ATDC engine.

2. Flame propagation period
ATDC10
C After the flame nucleus is formed, the flame gradually
TDC expands outward. The speed at which the flame
expands is called the flame propagation speed, and its
D period is called the flame propagation period (B~C~D
MPa

in the diagram).
When there is a large amount of the intake air, the air-
fuel mixture becomes denser. For this reason, the dis-
B tance between the particles in the air-fuel mixture
A
decreases, thus accelerating the flame propagation.
Also, the stronger the swirl of the air-fuel mixture, the
BTDC ATDC
faster the flame propagation speed will be.
When the flame propagation speed is fast, it is neces-
sary to advance the ignition timing. Therefore, it is
necessary to control the ignition timing according to
the engine condition.

• Ignition timing control


The ignition system controls the igni-
tion timing in accordance with the
engine speed and load so that the
maximum combustion force occurs
at 10 °ATDC.
HINT:
In the past, ignition systems used a
governor advancer and vacuum
advancer to control timing advancing
and retarding. However, most ignition
systems today use the ESA system.

Ignition Coil Description
The ignition coil generates a high voltage that is sufficient
for arcing sparks between the electrodes of a spark plug.
The primary and secondary coils are wound around the
core. The secondary coil is wound approximately 100
times more than the primary coil.
One end of the primary coil is connected to the igniter,
Secondary coil Core Primary coil
and one end of the secondary coil is connected to the

dance with the ignition timing signal (IGT) that is
output by the engine ECU.
As a result, lines of magnetic force are generated

To ensure the proper duration of the
primary current, which decreases as
the engine speed rises, this control
regulates the length of time (dwell
angle) during which current flows.
(On some of the recent models, this
control is effected through the IGT
signal.)
When the IGT signal turns from on to off,
the igniter shuts off the primary current.
At the instant the primary current is shut
off, hundreds of volts are generated in
the primary coil and tens of thousands of
volts are generated in the secondary
coil, which cause the spark plug to
spark.

The IGF is output when the primary cur-

the prescribed value IF1.
When the primary current exceeds the

mines that the required amount of cur-
rent has flowed, and allows the IGF
IF1 signal to return to its original voltage.
(The waveforms of the IGF signal vary

If the engine ECU does not receive an

IGF signal, it determines that a failure
has occurred in the ignition system. To
prevent the catalyst from overheating,
the engine ECU stops the fuel injection
and stores the failure in the diagnosis
function.
However, the engine ECU will be unable
to detect a failure in the secondary cur-
rent circuit because the engine ECU
monitors only the primary current circuit
for an IGF signal.

On some models, an IGF signal is
determined through the primary volt-

Ignition Mechanism
The explosion of the air-fuel mixture by a spark from the
spark plug is generally called combustion.
Combustion, however, does not occur in an instant, but
Center electrode proceeds as described below.
Flame
Flame The spark travels through the air-fuel mixture from the
Arc propagation
nucleus
center electrode to the ground electrode. As a result, the
air-fuel mixture is activated along the path of the spark,
reacts chemically (through oxidation), and generates heat
Ground electrode to form a so-called flame nucleus.
The flame nucleus activates the surrounding air-fuel mix-
ture, which further activates the surrounding air-fuel mix-
ture. Thus, the heat of the flame nucleus expands
outward in a process known as flame propagation, to
burn the air-fuel mixture.
If the temperature of the electrodes is too low or the spark
plug gap is too small, the electrodes will absorb the heat
that was generated by the spark. As a result, the flame
nucleus is extinguished, causing a misfire.
This phenomenon is called electrode quenching. If the
quenching effect of the electrodes is great due to the heat
generated by the flame nucleus, the flame nucleus will be
extinguished. The smaller the electrode is, the lesser the
quenching function will be. And the squarer the electrode
is, the easier the discharge will be.
Some spark plugs have a U-shaped groove in the ground
electrode or a V-shaped groove in the center electrode in
order to improve ignitability.
Those spark plugs provide a smaller quenching effect
than the spark plugs without grooved electrodes, which
allows the flame to form a large nucleus. Also, there are
some spark plugs that reduce the quenching effect by
providing thinner electrodes.

Ignition Performance
1 The following factors affect the ignition performance of a
spark plug:
1. Electrode shape and discharge performance
Rounded electrodes make discharging difficult, while
squared-off or pointed electrodes facilitate discharg-
ing. As electrodes are rounded off through long use, it
becomes difficult for the spark plug to discharge
Easy discharge Difficult discharge
sparks. Therefore, the spark plugs must be replaced
regularly. It is easier for a spark plug with thin and
pointed electrodes to discharge sparks. However,
2 those electrodes wear faster and shorten the service
life of the spark plug. For this reason, some spark
plugs have platinum or iridium, which resist wear,
welded to their electrodes. They are usually called
platinum-tipped or iridium-tipped spark plugs.

Spark plug replacement intervals
Conventional type: Every 10,000 to 60,000 km
Platinum- or iridium-tipped type: Every 100,000 to
240,000 km
The replacement intervals may vary by vehicle model,
Spark plug gap Large
engine specifications, and country of use.
2. Spark plug gap and required voltage
As the spark plug becomes worn and the gap between
its electrodes widens, the engine can misfire.
When the distance between the center electrode and
the ground electrode increases, it is more difficult for
the spark to jump across the electrodes. Thus, a
greater voltage will be required to generate a spark.
For this reason, the gap must be adjusted or the spark
plug must be replaced at regular intervals.
HINT:
• If the required voltage can be provided despite a
wide gap, the spark plug will be able to produce a
strong spark and facilitate ignition. For this reason,
there are many spark plugs on the market with a gap
as wide as 1.1 mm.
• The platinum- and iridium-tipped spark plugs do not
require gap adjustments because they are not sus-
ceptible to wear (they only need to be replaced).

Heat Range
The amount of heat radiated by a spark plug varies by the
shape and the material of the spark plug. The amount of
DENSO radiated heat is called a heat range.

Using a cold spark plug when the engine is operating
under low-speed and low-load conditions will reduce
the electrode temperature and cause the engine to
run poorly. Using a hot spark plug when the engine is
operating under high-speed and heavy-load condi-
tions will excessively increase the electrode tempera-
ture, causing the electrode to melt.
(1/2)
1. Self-cleaning temperature
When a spark plug reaches a certain temperature, it
burns off the carbon that has accumulated in the igni-
tion area during ignition, in order to maintain the
cleanliness of the ignition area of the plug. This tem-
perature is called the self-cleaning temperature. The
self-cleaning effect of the spark plug takes place when
the temperature of the electrodes exceeds 450 °C
(842 °F). If the self-cleaning temperature has not been
reached, meaning the temperature of the electrodes is
Normal Abnormal below 450 °C (842 °F), carbon accumulates in the
ignition area of the spark plug. This can cause the
spark plug to misfire.
Spark plug 2. Pre-ignition temperature
If the spark plug itself becomes a heat source and
ignites the air-fuel mixture without sparking, this is
called the pre-ignition temperature. Pre-ignition takes
place when the temperature of the electrodes is above
950 °C (1,742 °F). If it occurs, the engine output will
drop due to incorrect ignition timing, and the elec-
trodes or pistons may partially melt.

Platinum/Iridium-tipped Plug
Conventional plug Platinum-tipped plug Iridium-tipped plug
On the platinum-tipped and iridium-
tipped spark plugs, the center electrode
and the opposing ground electrode are
covered with a thin platinum or iridium
tip. Therefore, these spark plugs provide
a longer service life than conventional
spark plugs.
Because platinum and iridium resist
wear, the center electrode of these spark
plugs can remain small and offer excel-
lent sparking performance.

Harmful Gases Produced by Automobiles Description
1. What is emission control system?
Evaporated fuel The emission control system reduces the emissions,
HC :20% which are harmful to the environment and human
beings produced by automobiles.
2. What are emissions?
The term emission gas means the evaporated fuel
from the fuel tank and the blow-by gas, which passes
between the piston and the cylinder wall, including the
exhaust gas.
Exhaust gas
Blow-by gas CO :100% The emission gas is harmful to the environment and
HC :25% HC : 55%
NOx :100% human beings because it includes such harmful sub-
stances as CO (carbon monoxide), HC (hydrocarbon)
and NOx (nitrous oxides).
Vehicles equipped with diesel engines emit not only
gases such as CO, HC, NOx but also carbon particles,
which also affect the environment and human beings.
(1) CO (crbon monoxide)
• CO is generated when an insufficient amount of oxy-
gen is taken the combustion chamber (incomplete
combustion).
2C (carbon) + O2 (oxygen) → 2CO (carbon monox-
ide)
• When CO is inhaled into the human body, it disolves in
the blood and the blood's ability to deliver oxygen is
hindered. Breathing in large amounts of CO will result
in death.
(2) HC (hydrocarbon)
• HC is generated during incomplete combustion in the
same way as CO. Also, HC is generated in the follow-
ing cases:
<1>When the temperature of the quenching zone is
low, it does not reach the combustion tempera-
ture.
<2>The intake gas blows through when the valve tim-
ing overlaps.
The richer the air-fuel mixture is, the more HC is
generated. The leaner it is, the less HC is gener-
ated.
The generated amounts of HC become greater
because it cannot burn when the air-fuel mixture
is too lean.
• When HC is inhaled into the human body, it becomes
cancer-causing agent. It also causes the photochemi-
cal smog.

- 159
-
(3) NOx (nitrous oxides)
• NOx is generated by the nitrogen and oxygen in the
air of the air-fuel mixture when the temperature of the
combustion chamber rises above about 1,800 °C
(3,272 °F). The higher the combustion temperature
rises, the more NOx is generated.
When the air-fuel mixture is lean, more NOx is gener-
ated because the ratio of oxygen in the air-fuel mixture
is too high.
Therefore, NOx is generated according to the two fac-
tors of the combustion temperature and oxygen con-
centration.
N2 (nitrogen) + O2 (oxygen) → 2NO (NO, NO2 or
N2... NOx)
When NOx is inhaled into the human body, it irritates
the nose and throat. Also it causes the photochemical
smog.
(1/2)
1. Exhaust gas
Exhaust gas is emitted from the exhaust pipe.
In theory, only CO2 (carbon dioxide) and H2O (vapor)
are generated when burning gasoline.
However, all of the gasoline does not react according
CO to the chemical theory due to such factors as air-fuel
HC ratio, N2 (nitrogen) in the atmosphere, combustion
NOx
temperature, combustion duration, etc.
That is how harmful substances such as CO, HC or
NOx are generated.
2. Evaporated fuel
Gasoline tank
Evaporated fuel is emitted into the atmosphere after
the fuel evaporates from the fuel tank, carburetor, etc.
HC HC
Its main component is HC.
3. Blow-by gas
Blow-by gas blows from the gap between the piston
Gasoline and cylinder wall into the crankcase.
It consists of mostly fuel of unburned gas (HC).

Principle of Production of Exhaust Gases Theoretical Air-fuel Ratio
The theoretical air-fuel ratio is the ratio of the minimum
Air amount of fuel and air (which contains oxygen) needed to
fully burn the fuel.
Gasoline is a mixture of several types of hydrocarbons of
which is the most predominant octane (C8H18).
15

2C8H18 + 25O2 → 16CO2 + 18H2O


Theoretical
air-fuel ratio In order for 1g of octane to produce water (H2O) and car-
bon dioxide (CO2) when burned, 15g of air is necessary.

the rich air-fuel mixture is supplied.
• The generated amounts of NOx increase because

The engine has been improved significantly to prevent
the engine output and fuel consumption rate from wors-
Squish area
ening over time, preventing harmful gas generation as
much as possible. The following items are not used on all
types of engines, however, the most appropriate item for
each engine is used.
1. Construction of combustion chamber and
improvement of air intake system
(1) Adoption of squish area
The squish area in the combustion chamber gener-
ates strong turbulence starting from the end of the
1- (2) compression stroke into the combustion stroke. This
turbulence increases the combustion speed and burns
the air-fuel mixture completely, and decreases the CO
and HC.
(2) Generation of swirl
The curved intake port causes the air-fuel mixture that
is drawn in during the intake stroke to form the appro-
priate swirl toward the outer edge of the combustion
chamber.
This swirl continues from the compression stroke to
the combustion stroke, and gives the same effect as
the squish.
2. Adoption of EFI, ESA and DIS
Burns the air-fuel mixture completely and decreases
the exhaust gas due to the adoption of EFI (Electronic
Fuel Injection), which always makes the proper air-
fuel mixture, and ESA (Electronic Spark Advance) and
DIS (Direct Ignition System), which finely regulates
the ignition timing depending on the driving condition.

Catalytic Converters
1. Outline
The catalytic converter makes harmful substances
(CO, HC and NOx) react chemically with harmless
ones (H2O, CO2, N2) according to the exhaust gas
CO
HC H2O passed.
NOx CO2 Generally platinum, palladium, iridium and rhodium,
N2
TWC etc., are used as catalysts for automobiles.
(1) Types of catalyst
• Oxidation catalyst: Oxidize HC or CO and form non-
polluting H2O or CO2.
• Deoxidization catalyst: Remove oxygen from NOx and
form non-polluting N2.
• Oxidation/Deoxidization catalyst: Perform above two
functions at the same time.
(Oxidation/Deoxidization catalyst for automobiles is
called "Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC)"
because three harmful substances, CO/HC/NOx, are
transformed into non-polluting substances at the same
time. Oxidation/Deoxidization catalyst is used for most
automobiles nowadays.)

(2) Operating temperature catalyst


For the catalyst, the purification rate changes accord-
100% ing to the temperature.
As shown in the graph, the purification rate is close to
100% and purifies the exhaust gas effectively when
Purification rate

the catalyst temperature rises over 400 °C.


NOTICE:
Vehicles equipped with the catalytic converter need to
use unleaded gasoline, because lead adheres to the
surface of catalyst and the oxygen sensor (O2 sen-

Dash pot
To prevent the incomplete combus-
tion or misfiring, the dash pot is used
to keep the throttle valve from closing
too suddenly.
2. Operation
During deceleration, the link of throt-
tle valve touches the dash pot.
Therefore the throttle valve closes
slowly according to the resistance of
air passing through.
When the throttle valve is opened,
the dash pot returns to its original
position.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System

system.
The flame propagation becomes slow during the com-

vacuum bustion when the exhaust gases are mixed with the
air-fuel mixture because most of them are the inert
(incombustible) gases.
Also the combustion temperature drops to reduce the
NOx generation because the inert (incombustible) gas
absorbs the heat generated by burning.
2. Operation
• When the vacuum is applied to the EGR valve, the
valve opens and the exhaust gas recirculates.
• The vacuum, which operates on the EGR valve, is
controlled in accordance with the engine coolant tem-
perature or throttle valve opening to control the ratio of
the EGR.

• Engine cold

3. Internal EGR effect of VVT-i (Variable Valve Tim-

Part of the exhaust gas is drawn in during the intake
EX IN stroke by overlapping of the intake valve and exhaust
valve. The VVT-i system controls the valve timing to
control the internal EGR actively.
The VVT-i system opens the intake valve quickly and
lets some of the exhaust gas flow backwards to the
intake side when the end of the exhaust stroke over-
laps.
The EGR effect is attained by drawing the back-flow-

ing gas and the air-fuel mixture into the cylinder at the

Fuel Evaporative Emission Control (EVAP) System
1. Necessity
The Fuel Evaporative Emission Control (EVAP) Sys-
tem temporarily absorbs the evaporated gas in the
charcoal canister and channels it to the engine for
burning, in order to prevent the fuel, which is evapo-
rated from the fuel tank, from escaping into the atmo-
sphere.
2. Operation
The evaporated gas, which is generated in the fuel
tank, opens the check valve (1) and flows into the can-
ister.
The charcoal absorbs the evaporated gas in the can-
ister. The absorbed gas is drawn from the purge port
of throttle body into the cylinder to burn while the
engine is running. For some models, the engine ECU
controls the gas flow by controlling the opening of the
VSV (for EVAP).
The check valve (2) and the vacuum valve of the fuel
tank cap open to draw the outside air into the tanks
when the inside of tank becomes a vacuum (because
the outside temperature is low, etc).

By measuring CO/HC, it is possible to determine the
CO/HC meter engine condition, including the effectiveness of the air-

control system are normal when the CO and HC are
within the standard value, and the engine operates
smoothly.
without
TWC/Oxygen sensor When the engine does not operate smoothly or HC
levels are high, engine misfire is a probable cause.

screw 2. With TWC/oxygen sensor
• It is not necessary to adjust the CO level because the
engine control system increases and decreases the
fuel injection volume coming out of the injector to
adjust the air-fuel ratio to more closely match the theo-
retical air-fuel ratio, using the oxygen sensor signal.
• Most of CO and HC are purified by the TWC even if
some misfiring occurs.
180 • When CO and HC are detected, the following are
probable causes: Poor or insufficient warm-up of
TWC, rich air-fuel mixture, a high rate of misfire.
3. Without TWC/oxygen sensor
• It is necessary to adjust the CO level within the stan-
dard value in order to meet the regulations and use
the engine in good condition.
• The air-fuel mixture is rich when CO/HC concentration
is high and the engine runs smoothly.
It is necessary to adjust the CO concentration in order
to keep emission gases clean, even though the
engine operates more smoothly when the CO concen-
tration is higher than the standard value.
• When the CO concentration is too low, the HC con-
centration is high and the engine does not operate
smoothly, causing misfires to occur.

Description Necessity of Turbocharger and Supercharger
The turbocharger and supercharger are devices that
Turbocharger force air into the cylinders creating a pressure that is
greater than the atmospheric pressure in order to
increase engine output.
Generally, the engine output is determined by the amount
of the air-fuel mixture, burned over a specified period of
time, and becomes greater as the amount of the air-fuel
mixture increases.
That means in order to increase the engine output, either
the engine displacement or engine speed must be
increased.
The problem is that as engine displacement increases,
engine weight also increases and factors such as friction
loss, vibration and noise of moving parts limit the increase
of the engine speed.
Supercharger
The super charger meets the opposing requirements of
increasing engine output while keeping it compact and
lightweight by supplying greater volumes of air and fuel
without changing engine size.
The devices are driven by two methods: The turbo-
charger is driven by exhaust gas and the supercharger is
driven by the engine.

Charging Efficiency
1. Charging efficiency
The engine's ability to draw air in is called charging efficiency.
The charging efficiency of a conventional engine is about 65-85% due to the resistance of the intake system and
the exhaust gas remaining in the exhaust system.
However the charging efficiency of an engine equipped with a turbocharger or supercharger can be more than
100%.
2. Compression ratio
The gasoline engine has a greater tendency of knocking as the compression pressure is increased.
Since air is compressed to a pressure greater than the atmosphere pressure and is fed to the cylinders of a tur-
bocharged or supercharged engine, the compression pressure becomes higher than that of the conventional
engine and knocking occurs more easily.
Therefore the compression ratio of a turbocharged or supercharged engine is set lower than that of a conven-
tional engine to prevent knocking.

How to Increase Fuel Injection Vol-
ume
An engine equipped with a turbocharger
or supercharger forces a greater volume
of air into the cylinder. The power output
does not increase until the intake air is
burned completely. For this reason, it is
necessary to increase the fuel volume to
burn the intake air completely. Thus, fuel

by pumping compressed air into the cyl-

1. Boost pressure control
(1) Control when the boost pressure is
below the specified value
When the boost pressure is below the
specified pressure, the actuator does
not operate. All the exhaust gas is there-
fore routed into the turbine wheel
because the waste gate valve remains
closed.

(2) Control when the boost pressure is


above the specified value
When the engine speed rises and the
boost pressure supplied by the turbo-
charger exceeds the specified value
(intercept point), the actuator dia-
phragm is depressed. This causes
the waste gate valve to open and
part of the exhaust gas bypasses the
turbine wheel.
By allowing part of the exhaust gas to
bypass the turbine wheel, the rota-
tional speed of the turbine wheel is
regulated so that the boost pressure
becomes within the specified value.

With some gasoline engine, the
boost pressure is also controlled in
accordance with the octane rating of
the fuel used (premium or regular
gasoline).

Precautions for Turbocharger
1.Precautions on handling
(1) The engine oil used for the engine equipped with the turbocharger is used for not only lubricating the engine but
for lubricating and cooling the turbocharger. As the engine oil is exposed to the heat of the turbocharger, its tem-
perature rises easily.
For this reason, the engine oil and engine oil filter maintenance should be carried out faithfully. Otherwise it
causes the turbocharger to damage.
If the recommended engine oil is not used, it causes the bearings of turbocharger to be damaged. Therefore, be
sure to use the recommended engine oil.
HINT:
Refer to the Owner's Manual or Maintenance Schedule as the replacement intervals of the engine oil and oil fil-
ter vary by the model or condition under which the vehicle is used.

(2) Since the bearings are not sufficiently lubricated just after starting a cold engine, racing or sudden acceleration
of the engine causes damage to the bearings.
(3) After the engine is placed under heavy loads, such as after high-speed driving or long distance driving, allow the
vehicle to idle for a few minutes before shutting it off.
NOTICE:
The turbocharger temperature does not rise too high while driving as the turbocharger is cooled by the oil and
coolant. When the engine is stopped immediately after high-speed driving, etc., circulation of the oil and coolant
stop. This causes the turbocharger to remain uncooled, leading to damage such as sticking. Thus, it is neces-
sary to idle and cool the turbocharger.

2. Precautions on maintenance
(1)
(1) Do not start the engine with the air cleaner or air
cleaner case removed.
Otherwise it will allow foreign particles to enter caus-
ing damage to the compressor wheels and turbine.
(2) In the case that the turbocharger malfunctions and
must be replace, first check the following items for the
cause of the problem and remedy as necessary.
• Engine oil level and quality
• Conditions under which the turbocharger was used
• Oil lines leading to the turbocharger
(3) When removing the turbocharger, plug the intake and
exhaust ports and oil inlet to prevent dirt or other for-
(4) eign materials from entering the system.
(4) When removing and reinstalling the turbocharger, do
not drop it, bang it against anything, or grasp it by eas-
ily deformed parts, such as the actuator or rod.
(2/3)

(5) When replacing the turbocharger, check for the accu-


(5)
mulation of carbon sludge in the oil pipes, and if nec-
essary, clean out or replace the oil pipes, too.
(6) When replacing the turbocharger, put the oil into the
turbocharger oil inlet and turn the compressor wheel
by hand to spread oil on the bearings.
(7) When overhauling or replacing the engine, cut the fuel
supply after reassembly and crank the engine for 30
seconds to distribute oil throughout the engine. Then
idle the engine for 60 seconds.

Description Description
The diesel engine uses diesel fuel.
A four-stroke diesel engine operates
with the same cycle of four strokes as
the gasoline engine: Intake, compres-
sion, combustion and exhaust.
One merit of the diesel engine is that the
fuel consumption is better than that of
the gasoline engine because the pump-
ing loss is less and compression ratio is
high. On the contrary, there are demerits
such as the vibration and noise during
the operation are greater. Also, the
amount of harmful substances in the
exhaust gas is greater than that of the
gasoline engine.

1. Intake stroke
Air only is drawn into cylinder.

2. Compression stroke
The piston compresses the intake air
and increases the temperature
enough for the fuel to ignite.
The compression ratio of the diesel
engine is higher than that of the gas-
oline engine.
Compression ratio:
Gasoline engine: 9 - 11
Diesel engine: 14 - 23

- 192
-
3. Combustion stroke
Fuel is injected into the combustion
chamber. The fuel ignites by the
compressed air, which is high tem-
perature, and burns.

4. Exhaust stroke
The piston forces exhaust gases out
of cylinder.

A comparison of the gasoline engine and diesel engine during each stroke is shown in the table below.

Intake Air-fuel mixture is drawn into cylinder. Air only is drawn into cylinder.

Compression Piston compresses air-fuel mixture. Piston compresses air to increase both pressure to
approx. 3 MPa (30 kgf/cm2,430 psi) and temperature
to approx. 500 - 800 C (930 -1,470 F).

Combustion Spark plug ignites compressed air-fuel mixture. Fuel is injected into heated,highly compressed air,
where it ignites due to heat of pressurized air.

Exhaust Piston forces exhaust gases out of cylinder. Piston forces exhaust gases out of cylinder.

2. Fuel system
The diesel engine does not have a
throttle valve for controlling engine
output like the gasoline engine. The
output of the gasoline engine is con-
trolled by opening and closing the
throttle valve, thereby controlling the
amount of air-fuel mixture taken in.
However, the diesel engine controls
engine output by adjusting the fuel
injection volume.
Furthermore, as combustion starts
with fuel injection, it also adjusts fuel
injection timing. This corresponds to
the ignition timing of the gasoline
engine.
HINT:
For various purposes, some engines
are equipped with an intake shutter
for decreasing noise, engine stop-
ping, or decreasing engine vibrations
while engine stopped.

Combustion Cycle
1. Combustibility of diesel fuel
Increasing the fuel temperature, causes the fuel to ignite spontaneously, even it is not exposed to a flame. The
minimum temperature that this occurs is called the autogenous ignition point (self-ignition temperature).
The fuel is injected into the combustion chamber and heated by the air of high temperature and pressure. Then,
the fuel self-ignites and burns.
In a diesel engine, the fuel ignitability is improved because as the compression ratio increases, the temperature
increases quickly.
Also, ignition performance is improved when using fuel with a high cetane number.
Cetane number
The cetane number of the diesel fuel corresponds to the octane number of gasoline and represents ignitability of the
fuel.
The higher the number is, the lower the ignition point and the better the fuel.
• For diesel engine fuel, a cetane number of at least 40 - 45 is usually required.
• Generally a cetane of 53 - 55 is used.
A high cetane number corresponds to the following effects.
• Good startability
• Clean exhaust gas
• Large output
• Improvement of fuel consumption
• Engine operates smoothly and there is less noise.

2. Relationship between compression ratio and com-

Crank angle then continues to burn outward.
From point B to C, the pressure rises
sharply.
The rise of pressure is affected by the
volume of fuel injected at ignition
delay, fuel spraying condition and air-
fuel mixture, etc.
(3) Direct combustion (C - D)
In this stage, the fuel is burned with
the flame in the combustion chamber
immediately after the injection.
The pressure from combustion rises
more gradually because the fuel
burns immediately after injection.
The pressure at this time can be
adjusted to a certain extent by
adjusting the fuel injection volume.
(4) After burning (D - E)
The fuel injection into the combustion
chamber ends at point D.
However, the remaining fuel, which
could not burn, burns during this
period.
As the after burning period gets
longer, the exhaust temperature rises
and the heat efficiency*1 lowers.

ciency means the ratio of heat
energy converted into the workload
and the heat energy of the supplied

The fuel accumulated during the ignition delay period is burned at one time during the flame propagation period.
Thus the pressure inside the combustion chamber rises sharply.
The pressure inside the combustion chamber rises sharply in proportion to the amount of the fuel injected during the
ignition delay. This pressure wave causes the engine to vibrate and make a noticeable noise.
This is called as diesel knock. The diesel engine uses a self-ignition combustion system, so to a certain extent, die-
sel knock is unavoidable.
Causes of diesel knock are as follows:
• Engine temperature is low.
• Intake air temperature is low.
• Fuel ignition temperature is high. (Cetane number is low.)
• Injection timing is early. (The fuel is injected when the compression temperature is still low.)
• Injection condition is not good. (The fuel does not mix well with the air.)
To prevent diesel knock, shortening the ignition delay, thus avoiding a sudden rise in pressure.
The following methods are employed:
• Using fuel with a high cetane number.
• Raising the compression pressure and the intake air temperature until the beginning of the fuel injection.
• Raising the combustion chamber temperature.
• Maintaining the proper coolant temperature.
• Maintaining the proper fuel injection timing, injection pressure and spraying condition.

While the engine is running, the pis-
ton also moves slightly in the radial
direction, causing the clearance
between the piston ring groove and
the piston ring to change.
This causes the carbon sludge inside
the piston ring groove to be rubbed
off and pushed out of the piston ring
groove together with the oil.

Combustion Chamber
1. Description
In a diesel engine, the fuel is injected as mist from the
Injection nozzle
injection nozzle and mixed with the air and is ignited
and burned.
To obtain good combustion, it is necessary for the
injected fuel and air to mix well in the combustion
chamber.
2. Direct injection type combustion chamber
In the direct injection type combustion chamber, the
Cylinder head main combustion chamber is formed between the cyl-
inder head and piston. This type causes ignition and
burning by injecting highly pressurized fuel into the
highly compressed, high temperature air.
As the construction is simple, the output is high, the
heat efficiency is high and the cooling loss is low, the
fuel consumption is small and the startability is supe-

Therefore, some engines use an intake heater or glow

As the combustion pressure increases, noise and
vibration during driving also increase.

3. Swirl chamber type combustion chamber


This combustion chamber is formed with the spherical
swirl chamber including the main combustion cham-
ber. These chambers are connected through the
transfer passage.
A swirling air flow is produced in the swirl chamber

during the compression stroke and most of the fuel is
ignited and burned. Then the part of the fuel remaining
is burned in the main combustion chamber.
In this way, smooth driving can be obtained because
Injection nozzle the maximum engine speed or combustion pressure
can be higher and the engine speed range is wide.
Cylinder head
However the temperature of the high temperature air
inside the swirl chamber lowers as the cylinder head

absorbs the heat. Therefore the startability is worse
than that of the direct combustion type, which is why a

Cylinder Cylinders are divided into two types: The linerless
liner type and the type in, which the cylinder liner is
inserted in the cylinder block.
(1) Liner type
There are two types of cylinder liner: The wet type in, in
which the coolant touches the backside directly, and the
(A) dry type, which the coolant does not touch directly. The
top of the cylinder liner is made to protrude
slightly above the top of block.

Fuel Sedimenter
The fuel sedimenter separates the water
from the diesel fuel.
It uses the specific gravity difference
between the diesel fuel and water to
separate the water before the fuel enters
the injection pump.
The sliding portion inside the injection
pump is lubricated by the fuel. Therefore
it is necessary to drain the water from
the fuel because lubrication is insuffi-
cient if fuel is mixed with water, as seiz-

Injection Nozzles
1. Description
The injection nozzle converts the
high-pressurized fuel, which is sent
from the injection pump, into a mist
by injecting the fuel into the combus-
tion chamber. The diesel engine
directly injects the fuel into the com-
bustion chamber, which is different
from the gasoline engine which
makes the air-fuel mixture in
advance. Thus, the time for mixing
with the air is much shorter.
Therefore, the fuel is injected at high
pressure and high speed to create a
mist that mixes easily with the air,
thus improving the ignition perfor-
mance.

overcomes the force of both the No.1

needle tip pushes the No.2 pressure
spring seat through the No.3 pres-
sure spring washer.
The amount of the needle tip lift does
not change when it reaches the max-
imum amount of lift even if the fuel
pressure changes.
For this reason, when the engine is
running at low load, small amounts of
fuel are injected in the low-lift range
only. When a load is applied to the
engine, small amounts of fuel are
injected in the pre-lift range, and then
larger amounts are injected in the
high-lift range.

For this reason, when the engine is run-


ning at low load, small amounts of fuel
are injected in the low-lift range only.
When a load is applied to the engine,
small amounts of fuel are injected in the
pre-lift range, and then larger amounts
are injected in the high-lift range.

2. Operation
The delivery valve closes the fuel line quickly at the

side side end of fuel injection in order to keep the residual pres-
sure inside the injection pipe.
At the same time, the fuel is drawn back in allowing
the injection nozzle to snap shut, thus preventing fuel
"dribble (dripping)".

<1> The highly pressurized fuel from the injection
pump is sent to the delivery valve before injec-
tion.

valve to open the fuel line.

(2) End of fuel injection

<3> The delivery valve returns until the valve face
adheres the valve seat.
<4> The above process ensure a sudden drop in
Operating stroke pressure inside the injection pipe. The nozzle
needle then draws back the fuel, which would
otherwise be fuel dribble.
(3) Keeping airtightness (keeping residual pressure and
preventing reverse flow)
Airtightness (for keeping residual pressure and pre-
venting reverse flow) is maintained by the valve seat
and the surface of the delivery valve.
If the pressure inside the injection pipe after the fuel
injection is low, the fuel volume is decreased.
Because the injection pressure does not reach quickly
if the pressure inside the pipe is low.
Therefore, it is necessary to keep the pressure con-
stant inside the injection pipe all the times.

- 215
-
• Fuel dribble (dripping) after injection
This occurs when the fuel supply is not precisely cut-
off at the end of fuel injection and fuel particles are
accumulated on the tip of the nozzle.
If fuel dribble occurs after fuel injection, the fuel in the
cylinder will not burn completely.
This will result in the emission of black or white smoke
Injection nozzle being exhausted.
To prevent fuel dribble, the relief valve of the delivery
valve is designed to draw back any fuel that may drip
out of the nozzle after injection.
Fuel dribble occurs if there is any failure in the delivery
valve or injection nozzle, as the residual pressure
remains in the injection pipe after fuel injection.

Other Equipment Intake Shutter
1. Description
Some diesel engines use an intake shutter.
The intake shutter has following functions.
Diaphragm
(1) Stops vibration immediately after engine is turned off.
Valve In diesel engines, air continues to be drawn into the
cylinder and compressed even after the ignition switch
is turned off.
To prevent vibration from occurring immediately after
engine is turned off, the intake shutter is closed imme-
diately after the ignition switch is turned off in order to
shut the intake air off and stop the engine smoothly.
(2) Reduces intake air noise.
During deceleration, or low speed and light load, the
amount of the intake air is reduced by the intake shut-
ter. The intake air noise is reduced without drawing
unnecessary air into the intake manifold.
(3) Improves EGR performance.
The intake shutter opening angle is controlled to attain
the proper EGR effect, depending on the engine run-
VSV ning condition.
HINT:
The intake shutter is also called throttle valve.

As the cam plate and plunger rotate, the suction port
of the distributive head is closed off and the distribu-
tion port of the plunger will be aligned with the distribu-
tion passage.
As the cam plate rides onto the rollers, the plunger
goes up (moves to the right) and compresses the fuel.
When the fuel pressure reaches the predetermined
value, the fuel is injected from the injection nozzle.

3. Termination
When the cam plate rotates further and the plunger
goes up (moves to the right), two spill ports of the
plunger are pushed out from end of the spill ring.
Then, the highly pressurized fuel is returned back to
the pump housing through the spill ports. As a result,
the fuel pressure drops suddenly and the fuel injection
is terminated.

VE Pump Mechanical Governor Description
It is necessary to control the fuel injec-
tion volume in accordance with the effort
that the accelerator pedal is depressed
and engine load as the output of the die-
sel engine is controlled by the fuel injec-
tion volume. Because the injection
volume is determined by the spill ring
position, it is necessary for the governor
to control the spill ring position so that
the engine can operate stably.
1. Control according to accelerator
depression
Depressed:
The fuel injection volume is
Spill ring increased. (The engine speed is
increased.)
Released:
The fuel injection volume is
decreased. (The engine speed is
decreased.)
2. Control with constant accelerator
position and fluctuating engine load
Load increases:
The fuel injection volume is
increased.
Load decreases:
The fuel injection volume is
decreased.
The governor also plays these roles:
Prevents the engine from overrun-
ning by controlling the maximum
engine speed, and prevents engine
stalling by stabilizing the engine
speed at low speeds.

tion volume), the flyweights remain closed. The pressure
inside the pump housing is not lowered because the ori-
fice on the governor sleeve and the governor shaft pas-

The emission control ECU determines

Then, the emission control ECU outputs

fuel passage of the LST, thus rendering
the LST inactive.

Before the engine has warmed up
(coolant temperature below 60 °C

High-altitude driving mal atmospheric pressure at all times.
Spill ring (2) High-altitude driving:
The atmospheric pressure, of the air which is intro-
duced into the constant pressure chamber, is lower at
high altitude. When the atmospheric pressure is low,
the bellows expand to make the vacuum passage
from the vacuum pump narrow. As a result, the vac-
uum pressure, which is applied to the constant pres-
sure chamber, decreases. Thus, the pressure inside
the constant pressure chamber stays the same at both
the low-altitude and high-altitude driving.
The HAC functions to maintain the pressure in the
constant pressure chamber by moving the push rod in
accordance with the change in atmospheric pressure
on the top part of the diaphragm.

Outline of Engine Control System Computer Control of Gasoline Engine
A gasoline engine produces power
through the explosion of a mixture of
Three essential elements of gasoline engine
gasoline and air. The three essential ele-
ments for a gasoline engine to produce
1. Good air-fuel mixture 2. Good compression 3. Good spark power are the following:
1. Good air-fuel mixture
2. Good compression
3. Good spark
To achieve these three elements simul-
taneously, it is important to precisely
control the formation of the air-fuel mix-
ture and the timing of the sparks.
Before 1981, the only engine control
system in existence was the EFI (Elec-
tronic Fuel Injection), which used a com-
puter to control the fuel injection volume.
In addition to the EFI, there are now var-
ious computer-controlled systems,
including the ESA (Electronic Spark
Advance), ISC (Idle Speed Control),
diagnostic systems, etc.

REFERENCE:
Toyota uses a computer-controlled sys-
tem called the TCCS (Toyota Computer-
Controlled System) to optimally control
the fuel injection, ignition timing, driv-
etrain, brake system, and other systems
in accordance with the operating condi-
tions of the engine and the vehicle.

Process of Computer Control
Sensors Actuators For the computer to function properly, it
requires a comprehensive system com-
prised of various input and output
devices.
On an automobile, sensors such as a
water temperature sensor or an air flow
meter correspond to the input device.
And actuators such as injectors or ignit-
ers correspond to the output device. At
Toyota, the computer that controls a sys-
tem is called an ECU (Electronic Control
Wire harness
Unit). The computer that controls the
engine is called an engine ECU (or
ECM*: Engine Control Module).
The sensors, actuators, and the engine
ECU are connected with wiring har-
nesses. Only after the engine ECU pro-
cesses the input signals from the
sensors and outputs control signals to
the actuators can the entire system
operate as a computer-controlled sys-
tem.

Outline of EFI (Electronic Fuel Injec-
tion) System
The EFI system uses various sensors to
detect the operating conditions of the
engine and the vehicle. In accordance
with the signals from these sensors, the
ECU calculates the optimal fuel injection
volume and operates the injectors in
order to inject the proper volume of fuel.
During ordinary driving, the engine ECU
determines the fuel injection volume for
achieving the theoretical air-fuel ratio, in
order to ensure the proper power, fuel
consumption, and exhaust emission lev-
els simultaneously.
Starting and Constant-speed High-load driving At other times, such as during warm-up,
warm-up driving
acceleration, deceleration, or high-load
driving conditions, the engine ECU
detect those conditions with the various
sensors and then corrects the fuel injec-
tion volume in order to ensure an opti-
mal air-fuel mixture at all times.

The ESA system detects the conditions
of the engine based on the signals pro-
vided by various sensors, and controls
the spark plugs to generate sparks at the
appropriate timing.

Outline of Diagnostic System


The engine ECU contains a diagnostic
system.
The ECU constantly monitors the signals
that are being input by various sensors.
CHECK If it detects a malfunction with an input
signal, the ECU records the malfunction
in the form of DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble
Codes) and illuminates the MIL (Mal-
function Indicator Lamp). If necessary,
the ECU can output the DTCs by blink-
ing the MIL or displaying the DTCs or
other data on the display panel of a
handheld tester.
The diagnostic functions that output the
DTCs and datas of a malfunction on a
hand-held tester are a highly advanced
and complex form of electronics system.
Because a diagnostic system must com-
ply with the regulations of each country,
its contents vary slightly by destination.

Preliminary Knowledge Power Circuitry
The power circuitry is the electrical circuits that supply
power to the engine ECU. These electric circuits include
the ignition switch, the EFI main relay, etc.
The power circuitry actually used by the vehicle consists
of the following two types.
(1/3)
Engine ECU
1. Control by ignition switch

EFI BATT As shown in the illustration, the diagrams show the

Ignition +B
switch
from the ignition switch.

When the ignition switch is turned on, current flows to
the coil of the EFI main relay, causing the contacts to

relay nals of the engine ECU.
Battery voltage is supplied at all times to the BATT ter-
minal of the engine ECU to prevent the diagnostic
codes and other data in its memory from being erased
when the ignition switch is turned off.

Air-fuel ratio sensors In addition, some models include a special relay for
the air-fuel ratio sensor heater circuitry which is
required large amount of current.

Ground Circuitry
The engine ECU contains the following three basic
ground circuits.
Engine ECU 1. Ground for engine ECU operation (E1)
Sensors +B
The E1 terminal is the engine ECU unit ground termi-
nal, and is normally connected close to the air intake
chamber of the engine.
2. Sensor grounds (E2, E21)
Actuators
The E2 and E21 terminals are sensor ground termi-
+B
nals, and these are connected to the E1 terminal in

the engine ECU.
These prevent the sensors from detecting erroneous

nal voltage.
VC
In this type of sensor, a voltage (5 V) is applied
0~5V between the VC and E2 terminals from the constant-
Microprocessor
voltage circuit in the engine ECU as shown in the illus-
tration. Then, this sensor substitutes the detected
E2
throttle valve opening or the intake manifold pressure

for the voltage change between 0 and 5 V in order to
output.

SERVICE HINT:
If the constant-voltage circuit malfunctions or the VC cir-
cuit shorts, the power supply to the microprocessor will be
cut-off, causing the engine ECU to stop functioning and
the engine to stall.

2. Using a thermistor (THW, THA)


ECU
A thermistor's resistance value changes in accor-
Constant-voltage
dance with the temperature. For this reason, ther-
5V
circuit mistors are used in such devices as the water
temperature sensor and intake air temperature sen-
R
A sor, to detect changes in temperature.
Microprocessor
As shown in the illustration, voltage is supplied to the
sensor thermistor from the constant-voltage circuit (5
Sensor
(Thermistor) V) in the engine ECU via resistor R. The properties of
E2 the thermistor are used by the engine ECU to detect
the temperature using the change in voltage at point A
E1
in the illustration.
When the thermistor or wire harness circuit is open,
the voltage at point A becomes 5 V, and when there is
a short from point A to the sensor, the voltage
becomes 0 V. Therefore, the engine ECU will detect a
malfunction using the diagnosis function.

3. Using voltage ON/OFF
ECU (1) Devices using a switch (IDL, NSW)
When the voltage turns ON and OFF, it causes the
5V Constant-voltage
circuit
sensor to detect the switch ON/OFF condition.
Sensors
A voltage of 5 V is applied to the switch by the engine
(Transistor (Switch
used) used) ECU. The engine ECU terminal voltage is 5 V when
Microprocessor the switch is OFF, and 0 V when the switch is ON.
The engine ECU uses this change in voltage to detect
the sensor condition.
In addition, some devices use a battery voltage 12 V.
(2) Devices using a transistor (IGF, SPD)
This is a device that uses transistor switching instead
of a switch. As with the above device, the turning ON
and OFF of the voltage is used to detect the sensor
operation condition.
As with devices that use a switch, a voltage of 5 V is
applied to the sensor from the engine ECU, and the
engine ECU uses the change in terminal voltage when
the transistor turns ON or OFF to detect the condition
of the sensor.
In addition, some devices use a battery voltage 12 V.

4. Using a power supply other than from the engine


ECU ECU (STA, STP)
The engine ECU determines whether another device

switch is operating by detecting the voltage that is applied
Microprocessor when another electrical device is operating.
The illustration shows a stop lamp circuit, and when
the switch is ON, a battery voltage 12 V is applied to
Stop
the engine ECU terminal, and when the switch is OFF,
lamp the voltage becomes 0 V.

5. Using voltage generated by the sensor (G, NE, OX,


ECU KNK)
As the sensor generates and outputs power itself, a
voltage does not need to be applied to the sensor.
The engine ECU determines the operation condition
Microprocessor by the voltage and frequency of the generated power.
HINT:
When inspecting the engine ECU terminal voltage, the
Pickup NE signal, KNK signal and etc. are output in an AC
coil
waveform. Therefore, highly accurate measurements
can be taken using an oscilloscope.

(3) Inner Circuit


In an actual air flow meter, as shown in the illustration,

point A and B being equal when the product of resis-

Ra (thermistor) Rh (hot-wire; heater) When the hot-wire (Rh) is cooled by intake air, resis-
Air VG
tance decreases resulting in the formation of a differ-
ence between the potentials of points A and B. An
R3 operational amplifier detects this difference and
A B causes a rise in the voltage applied to the circuit
(increases the current flowing to the hot-wire (Rh)).
R2 R1 VG When this is done, the temperature of the hot-wire
(Rh) again rises resulting in a corresponding increase
in resistance until the potentials of points A and B
become equal (the voltages of points A and B become
higher).
By utilizing the properties of this type of bridge circuit,
the air flow meter is able to measure intake air mass
by detecting the voltage at point B.

In this system, the temperature of the hot-wire (Rh) is
continuously maintained at a constant temperature higher

Hall Effect
Magnetic field
(Magnetic flux density)
The hall effect is the electrical potential difference that
occurs perpendicular to the current and magnetic field
when a magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the cur-
rent flowing in a conductor. In addition, the voltage gener-
ated by this electrical potential difference changes
proportionally to the applied magnetic flux density.
The hall element type throttle position sensor utilizes this
principle to convert the change in throttle valve position
(opening) to a change in flux density to accurately mea-
sure the change in throttle valve position.

resistance becomes large, creating a
high voltage in the THW and THA sig-

1. Water temperature sensor
The water temperature sensor mea-
sures the temperature of the engine
coolant. When the engine coolant
temperature is low, the idling must be
increased, the injection duration
increased, the ignition timing angle
advanced, etc., to improve drivability
and to warm up. For this reason, the
water temperature sensor is indis-
pensable for the engine control sys-
tem.
2. Intake air temperature sensor
The intake air temperature sensor
measures the temperature of the
intake air. The air amount and den-
sity changes according to the air
temperature. Therefore, even if the
air amount detected by the air flow
meter is the same, the amount of fuel
that is injected must be corrected.
However, hot-wire type air flow meter
directly measures the air mass.
Therefore, the correction is not
required.

Oxygen Sensor (O2 Sensor)
To maximum the exhaust purification function of the
V
engine with TWC (Three-Way Catalytic Converter), the
Ambient air
air-fuel ratio must be kept within a narrow range around
the theoretical air-fuel ratio. The oxygen sensor detects
Flange
whether the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas is
richer or leaner than the theoretical air-fuel ratio. The sen-
Platinum sor is mainly installed in the exhaust manifold, but the
Zirconia element location and number that are installed differ depending on
Platinum the engine.
The oxygen sensor contains an element made of zirco-
nium oxide (ZrO2), which is a type of ceramic. The inside
Exhaust gas and outside of this element is covered with a thin coating

sensor In addition, the platinum acts as a catalyst to cause a
E1 chemical reaction between the oxygen and carbon mon-
0 oxide (CO) in the exhaust gas. Therefore, this reduces
Richer Leaner the amount of oxygen and increases sensor sensitivity.

Air-fuel ratio
When the air-fuel mixture is lean, there is much oxygen in
the exhaust gas so that there is only a little difference in
the oxygen concentration between the inside and outside
of the zirconium element. Therefore, the zirconium ele-
ment will only generate a low voltage (nearly 0 V). Con-
versely, when the air-fuel mixture is rich, there is almost
no oxygen in the exhaust gas. For this reason, there is a
large difference in the oxygen concentration between the
inside and outside of the sensor so that the zirconium ele-
ment generates a relatively large voltage (approx. 1 V).
Based on the OX signal output by the sensor, the engine
ECU increases or decreases the fuel injection volume so
that the average air-fuel ratio is maintained at the theoret-
ical air-fuel ratio.
Some zirconium oxygen sensors have heaters to heat the
zirconia element. This heater is also controlled by the
engine ECU. When the amount of the intake air is low (in
other words, when the exhaust gas temperature is low),
current is sent to the heater to heat the sensor.

Communication Signals
The communication signals are sent among different ECUs and are used to make operational adjustments for each
other.
1. TRC (Traction Control) system communication signal
The throttle opening (VTA1 and VTA2) signals are measured by the main and sub throttle position sensors and
sent to the skid control ECU from the engine ECU. Conversely the TR signal is sent to the engine ECU from the
skid control ECU to inform that the traction control is operating. When the skid control ECU outputs the TR sig-
nal, the engine ECU performs a variety of corrections related to the traction control, such as retarding the igni-
tion timing.
2. ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) communication signal
This signal is output when the ABS system is operating. It is used for fuel cut-off control and, when necessary,
reduces the engine brake effect.
3. EHPS (Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering) system communication signal
When the engine coolant temperature or engine speed are extremely low, the EHPS vane pump motor operates,
which might cause an excessive alternator load. To avoid this, the power steering ECU sends this signal to the
engine ECU to have the ISC increase the idling speed.
4. Cruise control system communication signal
This signal is used to request the retarding of the ignition timing and is sent to the engine ECU from the cruise
control ECU.
5. Engine speed signal
The engine speed signal is the NE signal, and input in the engine ECU. Then, its waveform is rectified so that it
can be output to the skid control ECU and etc.
6. Engine immobiliser system communication signal
The engine ECU communicates with the transponder key ECU or the transponder key amplifier to ensure that
the engine can only be started by an ignition key having the same ID as that registered in the engine ECU or
transponder key ECU. When an attempt is made to start the engine using a key other than one with the regis-
tered ID, the engine ECU prohibits the fuel injection and ignition to prevent the engine from starting.
7. Throttle opening angle signal
The throttle opening (VTA) signal from the throttle position sensor is processed by the engine ECU, and then is
combined with the L1, L2, and L3 signals and sent to the ECT ECU, suspension control ECU, and other sys-
tems.
8. Multiplex communication system communication signals
For the communication signals from (1) to (8), only the signals required by the various communicating ECUs are
sent and received. In vehicles that use the multiplex communication system, the engine ECU, A/C ECU, theft
deterrent ECU, combination meter, and etc., construct around the gateway ECU and body ECU. This allows the
sensor signals required by the ECU to be received via another ECU not involved with the signal in the communi-
cation network. The engine ECU can also receive the required sensor signals from another ECU or can also
pass along signals required for other ECUs through its MPX1 and MPX2 terminals.

5. Fuel cut-off
During deceleration, injection operation is stopped
according to the deceleration condition in order to
reduce the harmful exhaust gases and improve the
engine braking effect. Then the fuel cut-off control is
activated to cut-off the fuel injection.
The state of deceleration is determined from the throt-
tle valve opening and the engine speed. When the
Fuel cut-off throttle valve is closed and the engine speed is high, it
is determined that the vehicle is decelerating.
Fuel cut-off control
Engine speed

Injection resumption
The fuel cut-off control stops the fuel injection when the
engine speed is higher than a determined speed and the
throttle valve is closed.
Fuel injection will resume when the engine speed slows
to a determined speed or the throttle valve is opened.
The fuel cut-off engine speed and fuel injection resump-
tion engine speed will increase when the coolant temper-
Low Coolant temperature High ature is low.
In addition, the fuel cut-off engine speed and fuel injection
resumption engine speed are increased when the air con-
ditioner switch is on to prevent the engine speed from fall-
ing and an engine from stalling.
There are also some engine models in which these
engine speeds drop during braking (i.e., when the stop
light switch is on).
(8/11)

6. Power enrichment
As there is a large amount of the intake air at heavy
loads, such as when climbing a steep hill, it is difficult
to sufficiently mix the injected fuel with the intake air.
And all of the intake air is not used during combustion,
causing some to remain.
Therefore, more fuel than for the theoretical air-fuel
ratio is injected to use all of the intake air in combus-
tion to increase power.
Heavy loads are determined from the throttle position
sensor opening, engine speed, and intake air mass
(VG or PIM).
The greater the intake air mass (VG or PIM) or the
higher the engine speed is, the ratio of the increased
amount becomes larger.
In addition, the amount is further increased when the
throttle valve opening angle becomes a certain value
or more.
The correction of the increased amount is from
approx. 10% to 30%.
(9/11)

- 292

7. Intake air temperature correction
The air density changes depending on the air tempera-
ture.
For this reason, a correction must be made to increase or
decrease the fuel volume in accordance with the intake
air temperature to optimize the mixture ratio required for
the current engine conditions.
The intake air temperature is detected by the intake air
temperature sensor.
The engine ECU is set to a standard intake air tempera-
Correction coefficient

ture of 20 °C (68 °F).


The correction amount is determined when the tempera-
ture rises above or falls below this temperature.
1.0 When the intake air temperature is low, the amount is
increased because the air density is high. When at high
temperature, the amount is decreased because the air
density is low.
Low 20 High The correction of the increased/decreased amount is
(68)
approx. 10%.
Intake air temperature
HINT:
For hot-wire type air flow meters, the air flow meter
itself outputs a corrective signal for the intake air tem-
perature. Therefore, intake air temperature correction
is not required.

This means that the time the injector injects the fuel is

Description Description
The ESA (Electronic Spark Advance) system is a system
that uses the engine ECU to determine the ignition timing
based on the signals from the various sensors.
The engine ECU calculates the ignition timing from the
optimum ignition timing stored in memory to match the
engine conditions, and then sends the ignition signal to
the igniter.
Ignition timing (advanced angle)

The optimum ignition timing is basically determined using


engine speed and intake air mass (manifold pressure).

5. Other correction
There are some engine models that add the following corrections to the ESA system to more correctly and accu-
rately control the ignition timing.
(1) Air-fuel ratio feedback correction
During air-fuel ratio feedback correction, the engine speed varies in accordance with increase/decrease of the
fuel injection volume.
To maintain stable idling, the ignition timing is advanced during the air-fuel feedback correction to match the
injection amount.
This correction is not performed while the vehicle is driving.
(2) EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) correction
When the EGR is operating and the IDL contact is turned OFF, the ignition timing is advanced in accordance
with the intake air mass and engine speed to improve drivability.
(3) Torque control correction
For vehicles equipped with an ECT (Electronically-Controlled Transmission), the transmission or transaxle plan-
etary gear unit clutch and brake generate a certain amount of shock during shifting. Some models retard the
ignition timing to lower the engine torque when shifting up or down to minimize this shock.
(4) Transition correction
When changing from deceleration to acceleration, the ignition timing is advanced or retarded in accordance with
the acceleration.
(5) Cruise control correction
When driving downhill while the cruise control is in operation, a signal is sent from the cruise control ECU to the
engine ECU to retard the ignition timing minimize the change in engine torque generated by the fuel cut-off dur-
ing engine braking to execute smooth cruise control.
(6) Traction control correction
The ignition timing is retarded when traction control is operating to lower the engine torque.

When there is trouble with the predetermined ignition tim-
ing from the initial ignition timing, basic ignition advance

Function of ISC Operation of Rotary Solenoid Type

1 When the engine ECU receives a starter signal (STA),
Open it determines that the engine is starting and opens the
ISCV to improve startability.
The ISCV opening is controlled according to the

signal (THW).

Close
Coolant temperature High

2. Warm-up (fast-idle) control


2 After the engine starts, the engine ECU opens the
High Starting ISCV in accordance with the coolant temperature
(THW) to increase the idling speed. As the coolant
Fast idle temperature rises, the engine ECU controls the ISCV
toward closing direction to decrease the idle speed.
Idle speed

When the engine is cold, the idling speed is unstable


due to such factors as the engine oil viscosity being
high and poor fuel atomization.
For this reason, the idling speed must be made higher
Low than normal to stabilize it. This is called fast idling.
80°C
(1/2)
Coolant temperature

3. Feedback control
For feedback control, the target idling speed stored in the engine ECU and the actual idling speed are com-
pared. Then, the ISCV is controlled to correct the actual idling speed to the target idling speed.
When the actual idling speed is lower than the target idling speed: The ISCV is opened to correct the idling
speed to the target idling speed. When the actual idling speed is higher than the target idling speed: The ISCV is
closed to correct the idling speed to the target idling speed.
In addition, the target idling speed varies depending on the engine condition, such as whether the neutral switch
is ON or OFF, electric load signal is ON or OFF, or air conditioner switch is ON or OFF.
4. Engine speed change estimate control
The engine speed change estimate control estimates the change in idling speed from the engine load and con-
trols the ISCV accordingly.
When the shift lever is changed from D to N or N to D, or when there is a change in engine load immediately
after an electrical component, such as the tail lamp relay, defogger relay, or air conditioner switch operates, the
idling speed increases or decreases. The feedback control then increases or decreases the idling speed, but the
idling speed is unstable until the target idling speed is reached.
For this reason, when the engine ECU receives an engine load signal from an electrical component, etc., the
ISCV is controlled before the idling speed changes to reduce the amount of idling speed change.
5. Other controls
• The engine ECU opens the ISCV when the IDL point of the throttle position sensor is closed (accelerator pedal
is released) to prevent a sudden drop in the engine speed.
• In vehicles equipped with EHPS (Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering), the electrical load increases when the
EHPS operates. Therefore, the engine ECU opens the ISCV to prevent the idling speed from dropping.

OFF • Main relay control
The engine ECU instructs that electrical power contin-

ETCS-i (Electronic Throttle Control Description
System-intelligent) The ETCS-i (Electronic Throttle Control System-intelli-
gent) is a system that uses a computer to electrically con-
trol the throttle valve opening.
Conventional throttle valve opening has been controlled

Throttle optimum amount in response to the amount that the
control motor
accelerator pedal is depressed. In addition, the accelera-
tor pedal opening angle is detected by the accelerator
pedal position sensor, and the throttle valve opening
angle is detected by the throttle position sensor.
The ETCS-i system consists of the accelerator pedal
position sensor, engine ECU, and throttle body. The throt-
tle body contains the throttle valve, throttle control motor,
throttle position sensor, and other components.

Construction and Operation
Throttle body construction and operation
As shown in the illustration, the throttle body consists of a
throttle valve, throttle position sensor that detects the
throttle valve opening, throttle control motor that opens
Throttle control motor
and closes the throttle valve, and a return spring that
returns the throttle valve to a fixed position. The throttle
Throttle valve motor employs a DC motor that has good responsiveness
and consumes little power.
The engine ECU controls the amount and direction of the
current flowing to the throttle control motor, turns or holds
the motor, and opens and closes the throttle valve via the
reduction gear. The actual throttle valve opening is
detected by the throttle position sensor, and this is fed
back to the engine ECU.
When current is not flowing to the motor, the return spring
Reduction gears opens the valve to a fixed position (approx. 7°). However,
during idling the valve is closed more than this fixed posi-
Throttle return spring tion.
Throttle position HINT:
sensor
• When the engine ECU detects a malfunction, it turns
ON the malfunction indicator lamp in the combination
meter while cutting off the power to the motor, but
because the throttle valve is kept open to approx. 7°,
the vehicle can still be driven to a safe location.
• The initial model with the ETCS-i used a magnetic
clutch between the motor and the throttle valve,
which could be used to connect to and disconnect
from the motor.

3. Other controls
(1) Idle speed control
This controls the throttle valve on the closing side to maintain the ideal idling speed.
(2) Shift shock reduction control
This control reduces the throttle valve opening angle and lowers the engine torque simultaneously with the ECT
(Electronically Controlled Transmission) control when the automatic transmission shifts to reduce the shift
shock.
(3) TRAC (Traction Control) throttle control
If excessive slip is generated by the drive wheels, as part of the TRAC system, the request signal from the skid
control ECU will close the throttle valve to reduce the power to promote vehicle stability and attain driving force.
(4) VSC (Vehicle Skid Control) coordination control
This controls the throttle valve opening angle using integrated control with the skid control ECU to make maxi-
mum utilization of the VSC system control effect.
(5) Cruise control
In the conventional cruise control, the cruise control ECU opens and closes the throttle valve via a cruise control
actuator and cable. But with ETCS-i, the engine ECU, which contains an integrated cruise control ECU, directly
controls the throttle valve opening angle via a throttle control motor to perform the cruise control operation.

by the return spring, and the injection volume and
ignition timing are controlled by the accelerator pedal
signal. The engine output is greatly restricted, but the
vehicle can be driven.
• When the engine ECU detects a malfunction in the

as for a malfunction of the throttle position sensor

Air Intake Control System


Check valve VSV Air intake control valve
The air intake control system is divided into two air
cleaner inlets, and one of these inlets is provided with a
valve, which is opened and closed to attain suitable air
intake efficiency in accordance with the engine speed.
This reduces the intake air noise in the low-speed range.
1. Construction
This system consists of the air intake control valve unit
in the air cleaner inlet, the VSV (Vacuum Switching
Valve) to control the vacuum which is the power
source, and the check valve to prevent atmospheric
air from flowing into the air intake chamber.

Others
The following systems are also controlled by the engine ECU.
1. Fuel octane judgement
Depending on the model, the engine ECU determines the octane rating of the gasoline being used from the
engine knocking signal of the knock sensor and then switches its internal ignition map to “premium” or “regular”
to match the fuel being used.
2. ECT OD cut-off control system
To maintain good drivability and acceleration performance, the engine ECU sends an OD cut-off signal to the
ECT ECU based on the signals from the water temperature sensor and vehicle speed sensor to prevent the
automatic transmission from shifting into overdrive.
In addition, in several engines the engine ECU sends the 3rd-gear cut-off signal to the ECT ECU.
3. EGR cut-off control system
This system shuts off the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) to maintain drivability when the engine is warming
up, during high-speed driving, etc.
4. T-VIS (Toyota-Variable Induction System)
A valve is provided on one of the two intake manifolds of each cylinder to close the valve during low engine
speeds and open the valve during high engine speeds. This improves engine performance in both the engine
low- and high-speed ranges.
5. SCV (Swirl Control Valve) system
A valve is provided on one of the two intake ports of each cylinder to close the valve during low engine speeds
and open the valve during high engine speeds in order to improve engine performance in both the engine low-
and high-speed ranges. In addition, the other intake port has been given a shape so that its cross-sectional area
is gradually decreased as it moves forward to increase the flow speed of the intake air passing through here.
This causes the intake air to swirl in the cylinder increasing combustion efficiency and improving fuel efficiency in
the low-speed range.
6. Turbocharging pressure control system
By controlling the boost pressure applied to the actuator for the waste gate valve, this system controls the air
intake turbocharging pressure. This improves engine power while maintaining engine durability thus improving
drivability.
7. Supercharger control system
This system controls everything related to the supercharger, such as starting and stopping the supercharger,
and opening and closing the air bypass when the supercharger is stopped.
8. EHPS (Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering) control system
This control is only provided in vehicles with an EHPS that uses an electric motor to drive the vane pump. This
system controls the vane pump motor speed. For example, the vane pump is stopped to ensure the startability
or prevent the engine from stalling when the engine is cold or the engine speed is extremely low.

Purpose of the fail-safe function

If the ECU detects a malfunction in any of the input signal systems, the fail-safe function controls the engine using
standard values contained in the engine ECU, or stops the engine to prevent engine problems or catalytic overheat-
ing which might occur if control continued based on the circuitry with abnormal signals.

Fail-safe and Back-up Function
Back-up Function
The back-up function switches over to fixed signal control by the back-up IC to permit driving in cases when a mal-
function occurs in the microcomputer inside the engine ECU.
The back-up function only controls basic functions, so it is unable to provide the same level of engine performance
as when the engine is operating normally.
1. Operation of the back-up function
The engine ECU switches to back-up mode if the microcomputer is unable to output the ignition timing (IGT) sig-
nal. When back-up mode is executed, the fuel injection duration and ignition timing are activated at their respec-
tive fixed values in response to the starter signal (STA) and IDL signal.
The MIL also lights up to inform the driver of a malfunction. (The engine ECU does not record a DTC.)

The fixed values for the fuel injection duration and ignition timing in response to the STA signal and IDL signal are
shown in the list below.

(1) Flow of fuel
The feed pump inside the pump draws up fuel from
the fuel tank into the pump. The fuel is pressurized by
the pump and distributed to the injection nozzle of
each cylinder.
The fuel pressure causes the injection nozzle to open
injecting fuel into the cylinder.
(2) Flow of signal
The ECU receives signals from various sensors in
order to determine the operating conditions of the
engine.
Then, the ECU sends signals to control the SPV and
TCV in the pump in order to achieve an optimal fuel
injection volume and timing.

4. Flow of fuel and signals in common-rail EFI-diesel


(1) Flow of fuel and signal in common diesel
The feed pump in the supply pump draws up the fuel
from the fuel tank. The fuel that has been pressurized
by the supply pump to reach the proper injection pres-
sure is fed into the common-rail where it is stored.
The stored fuel is distributed via the injection pipes to
the injectors of the cylinders, and when the injectors
are operated, the fuel is injected.
(2) Flow of signal
The ECU collects information from the sensors and
sends signals to the SCV in order to attain the target
fuel pressure.
In addition, the pressure signal from the common-rail
is fed back into the ECU. The ECU sends signals to
the EDU to operate the injectors, the EDU applies the
raised voltage to the injectors, and the injectors inject
the fuel.

Outline Fuel System of Conventional EFI-diesel
In the conventional EFI-diesel, control of injection timing
Fuel filter, sedimenter SPV (injection volume control) and volume is performed electronically. The device that
generates the fuel pressure is the same pump used in an
ordinary diesel engine.
HINT:
The fuel return circuit from the injection nozzle or
injection pump is not illustrated at left, but the fuel
TCV return circuit is attached to the actual fuel system.
(Injection timing control)
(1/2)

Fuel tank
Injection nozzle

The fuel that is drawn up by the feed pump travels from


Fuel filter, sedimenter SPV (injection volume control) the fuel tank through the fuel filter, and is introduced into
the pump where it becomes pressurized and then
pumped by the plunger inside of the injection pump. This
process is the same as in an ordinary diesel pump. The
fuel in the pump chamber becomes pressurized by the
feed pump so that it is between 1.5 and 2.0 MPa. Further-
more, in accordance with the signals from the ECU, the
TCV
(Injection timing control) SPV controls the injection volume (injection duration) and
the TCV controls the fuel injection timing (injection start-
ing timing).

trol the injection volume.
• Conventional type SPV
(used in axail plunger type pump)
• Direct-acting type SPV
(used in the radial plunger type pump for high-pres-
sure applications)
(1/1)

Conventional Type SPV


Coil Pilot valve 1. Construction
The conventional type SPV consists of two valves:
Pilot spring
main valve and pilot valve.

(1/2)

Main spring Main valve

2. Operation
• At normal condition
The pilot valve of the SPV is normally closed, as elec-
tricity runs through the coil. The fuel pressure and the
spring force causes the main valve to close passage
"A" as well, due to the pressure from the inside of the
valve being greater than that of the outside of the
valve.
• When the signal from the engine ECU is turned off
When the signal from the ECU turns off, causing the
current applied to the coil to turn off, the pilot valve
moves upward by the force of the pilot spring, causing
passage "B" to open.
• When the pilot valve is opened
Then, the pressure that is applied above the main
valve decreases. As a result, the main valve ascends,
causing passage "A" to open.
(2/2)

- 365
-
Direct-acting Type SPV
1. Construction
In contrast to the conventional type SPV, the direct-acting
Coil type SPV, which is fitted in a pump with a higher fuel pres-
sure, achieves high levels of response and spill charac-
teristics.
Spool valve
ECU Furthermore, the signals from the ECU are amplified by
the EDU to operate the valve at a high voltage of approxi-
ECU mately 150V when closing the valve. Thereafter, the valve
Spring
remains closed at a low voltage.

(1/2)

2. Operation
• At normal condition
The spool valve is pulled downward to close the pas-
sage because the coil is energized.
• When the current does not flow into the coil
When the current to the coil is turned off, the pressure
of the fuel pushes the spool valve upward to open the
passage.
(2/2)

REFERENCE
(v) Starting Voltage of Direct-acting SPV

Operation of Timer of Axial Plunger Type Pump


The TCV valve is controlled by the ratio (duty-cycle ratio)
of the ON/OFF time of the current that is applied to the
coil. The length of time that the valve remains open, with
the current ON, controls the fuel pressure in the timer pis-
ton.
Advance
When the length of time that the valve remains open is
short (the ratio of the current being applied is low), the
amount of fuel that is bypassed becomes smaller. Thus,
the timer piston moves to the left to rotate the roller ring in
the direction of timing advance.
Retard
When the length of time that the valve remains open is
long (the ratio of the current being applied is high), the
amount of fuel that is bypassed becomes greater. Thus,
the timer piston moves to the right by the force of the
spring to rotate the roller ring in the direction of timing
retard.

Outline System Configuration of Supply Pump
1. Outline
The fuel that has been drawn up from the feed pump
located inside the supply pump is pressurized to the
required pressure.
The plunger in the pump generates the required injec-
tion pressure. The pressure varies by engine speed
and load conditions from 20 MPa at idle, to 135 MPa
under high-load, high-speed operating conditions. (In
the conventional EFI-diesel, the pressure is between
10 to 80 MPa.)
The ECU commands the SCV (Suction Control Valve)
to adjust the fuel pressure, regulating the volume of
fuel that enters the supply pump.
The ECU constantly detects the fuel pressure in the
common-rail by means of the fuel pressure sensor,
and effects feedback control.

Generation of Fuel Pressure in the Supply Pump
The two sets of opposing plungers are driven by the inner
cam via the rollers.
The inner cam is driven by the engine via the timing belt.
The inside of the inner cam, which is elliptic, comes in
contact with the roller.
As the inner cam rotates, it causes the plunger to move
reciprocally, and the resulting suction and pumping of fuel
generates pressure.
(1/2)

2KD-FTV Engine
The rotation of the eccentric cam causes the ring cam to
rotate with an offset axis. The ring cam rotates and
pushes one of the two plungers upward as it pulls the
other plunger upward or vice versa for the downward
direction.
For the supply pump, plunger B is pushed down to com-
press the fuel and send it into the common-rail when
plunger A is pulled downward to draw the fuel in. Con-
versely, when plunger A is pushed up to compress the
fuel and send it to the common-rail, plunger B is pulled up
to draw the fuel up.

REFERENCE
SCV Control of the Supply Pump
The SCV operates under the duty-cycle control of the
ECU.
At the same time, current control is effected to limit the
amount of electrical current that flows during the ON
period, thus preventing the coil in the SCV from damage.
(1/1)
SCV open (Duty control)

Fuel pressure signal

2KD-FTV and 1ND-TV Engine


The fuel supplied by the feed pump is
drawn through the SCV (or MPROP)
and the check valve. Then, it is com-
pressed by the plunger, and is pumped
up through the check valve via the deliv-
ery valve to the common-rail.
(2/3)

To regulate the generation of fuel pressure, the volume of


fuel that enters the supply pump is regulated by varying
the opening/closing time of the SCV or MPROP.

Common-rail Construction of Common-rail
The common-rail stores the high-pressure fuel that has
been generated by the supply pump and distributes the
fuel via the injection pipes to the injectors of the cylinders.
Because the fuel is under extremely high pressure,
proper care must be taken to prevent leaks.

Fuel pressure sensor


Detects the pressure in the rail and feeds it back to the
ECU.

Pressure limiter
In case of a system failure in which the pressure in the
common-rail rises to an abnormal level, this valve opens
to release the pressure.

Returns to the fuel tank.

Injector Injector Overview


The signals from the ECU are amplified by the EDU to
operate the injector. High voltage is used particularly
when the valve is open in order to open the nozzles.
The injection volume and timing are controlled by adjust-
ing the opening and closing timing of the injectors, just as
in the EFI system of a gasoline engine.
• Injection volume control
• Injection timing control

Correction Resistor of Injector


Given the same injection interval, mechanical variances
will still cause the injection volume from injector to injector
to vary.
To enable the ECU to correct these variances, the injec-
tors are provided with a correction resistor for each injec-
Correction
resistor tor.
E Based on information received from each correction

provided to enable the ECU to identify the injectors, and

are not connected to the injector circuit.
HINT:
The correction resistor,which is listed above, is not
attached to the injector of 1ND-TV E/G.
3 types of injectors are adopted based on the differ-
ence of the injection volume, and the indentification
numbers (A, B, C) are attached on the top of each
injector.

REFERENCE
Types of Injector Correction Resistor for 1CD-FTV E/G
There are 25 types of injectors as indicated below, each provided with a different correction resistor.
When replacing an injector, the ECU automatically makes the proper fuel correction, so it is not necessary to
replace it with one with the same correction resistance.

Injector Operations
1. Before the injector operation
The fuel that has been fed from the common-rail sepa-
rates into the control chamber and the bottom of the
needle.
In this state, the needle is pushed down by the pres-
sure in the control chamber and by the spring, and the
nozzle remains closed.
2. When the solenoid valve opens
When the actuating voltage is applied by the ECU-
EDU, the solenoid valve opens and the pressure in
the control chamber decreases.
3. When the needle opens
Due to the operation of the orifice, the pressure at the
bottom of the needle remains high, and the nozzle
opens to inject fuel.
4. When the solenoid valve closes
When the voltage applied by the ECU-EDU ends, the
spring force causes the solenoid valve to close and
the pressure in the control chamber increases again.
5. When the needle closes
Due to the pressure in the control chamber and the
force of the spring, the needle descends and closes
the nozzle to end the injection.

Service Hint Precautions for Removing and Reinstalling Parts


The common-rail system consists of precision parts and
Injector
uses highly pressurized fuel. Therefore, extreme care
Injection pipe
must be taken to ensure that foreign matter does not
enter the system.
1. Thoroughly clean and wash the work area to remove
any dirt or rust before disassembling any parts in
Fuel inlet pipe order to prevent the interior of the fuel system from
becoming contaminated during disassembly.
2. Place the parts in plastic bags to prevent the entry of
Common-rail foreign matter and to protect the sealing surfaces from
damage during storage.
Supply pump 3. Thoroughly clean the parts before assembly, making
sure that their sealing surfaces are free of foreign mat-
ter such as dust or cutting chips.
(1/1)

- 385
-
Injection Pipe Installation
Observe the precautions given below in order to install
the injection pipes.
1. To reinstall a removed part to its original position,
wash the injection pipes and make sure that their seal-
ing surfaces are free of foreign matter or cuts before
installing the pipes.
2. Because the injection pipes cannot accommodate
excessive alignment changes, changes in the combi-
nation of the installed parts must be avoided.
(The pipes should not be reused on a different engine,
and the cylinder order of the injectors should not be
altered.)
3. For the same reason, also replace the pipes with new
parts if a part that affects the alignment must be
replaced.
Instances in which the injection pipes must be
replaced :
When injectors or the common-rail is replaced.
Instance in which the fuel inlet pipe must be
replaced :
When the supply pump or the common-rail is replaced.
(1/1)

REFERENCE
Pipe Fitting Conditions
The common-rail EFI-diesel system maintains fuel at an
extremely high pressure.
The areas in which the pipes and parts are joined use a
type of pipe union that is sealed by deforming its sealing
surface.
For this reason, if either the injector, common-rail, or the
supply pump is replaced, the pipes must also be replaced
because their matching surfaces have been changed.
Failure to replace the pipe will cause a fuel leak.
(1/1)

Fuel Leak Inspection


Check for fuel leaks after tightening the union.
Use the active mode of a hand-held tester to increase the
fuel pressure in order to check for fuel leaks.

Before starting the engine, first inspect the assembly con-


ditions. Then, operate the engine at idle to check for fuel
leaks. Finally, perform an active test.

To perform an active test, select the Fuel Leak Test in the


active test mode of a hand-held tester.

If a hand-held tester is unavailable, quickly depress the


accelerator pedal entirely to accelerate to the maximum
engine speed, and maintain that speed for 2 seconds.
Repeat this operation several times.
(1/1)

- 386
-
SCV Inspection
SCV1 SCV2
Inspect the SCV as Follows:
Disconnect the SCV1and SCV2 connectors.
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between ter-
minals as shown.
Specified Resistance:1.5-1.7 at 20 °C (degrees Cel-
sius),68 °F (degrees Fahrenheit)
If the resistance does not equal the specified resistance
above, replace the pump.
(1/1)

Common-rail
The common-rail, pressure limiter, and the fuel pressure
sensor may not be reused.
Both the pressure limiter and the fuel pressure sensor are
fitted through plasticity deformation. Therefore, once they
are removed, they must be replaced together with the
common-rail.
HINT:
These components are available as a single inte-
grated service part.
(1/1)

Injector Installation
The installation of the injectors must be performed care-
fully.
Using clean diesel fuel, wash the sealing surfaces of the
injectors and injection pipes just before their installation.
Make sure to follow the installation instructions given in
the Repair Manual of the respective model.
Pay particular attention to the installation direction of the
injectors and their alignment with the cylinder head.
(1/1)

Power Balance Test Procedure


Through the use of the active test mode of the hand-held
tester, a power balance test can be performed by dis-
abling the injector, one cylinder at a time.
Because the fuel in the pipe is highly pressurized, never
start the engine with the unions of the pipes loosened.
Fuel is injected at a high pressure via electronically con-
trolled injectors. Therefore, the opening pressure tests or
spray pattern tests for the injection nozzles of the conven-
tional diesel engine are not applicable to these injectors.

REFERENCE
About Direct-acting Type SPV
The direct-acting type SPV is used in a radial plunger
type high-pressure pump. A high-capacity coul is pro-
vided to allow the SPV to respond quickly under high fuel
pressure conditions.
Therefore, a high voltage level is required to energize the
coil.

Engine Speed Sensor

Sensor The engine speed sensor is fitted in the injection pump. It


consist of a rotor that is pressed over a drive shaft, and a
Rotor sensor. Electric signals are generated in the sensor (coil)
in accordance with the rotation of the rotor.
(1/3)

Engine Speed Sensor


Here is the relationship between the rotation of the rotor
and the generated waveform.
The ECU counts the number of pulses to detect the
engine speed.
The rotor makes half a revolution for each revolution of
the engine.
The ECU detects the reference angle from the missing
tooth portion, which is located along the cicumference of
the rotor.
(2/3)

Engine Speed Sensor


The 1CD-FTV common-rail EFI-diesel engine uses the
crankshaft position sensor to detect the engine speed just
as in the EFI system of a gasoline engine, in place of the
engine speed sensor used in a conventional EFI-diesel
engine.
The crankshaft position sensor of the common-rail EFI-
diesel engine outputs the same NE signal that is output
by the engine speed sensor of the conventional EFI-die-
sel engine.
(3/3)

Crankshaft Position Sensor


Coil Magnet The crankshaft position sensor is mounted on the engine
block. It detects the crankshaft angle reference position in
the form of a TDC signal.
HINT:
The crankshaft position sensor of common-rail type
Pickup bracket output the engine speed (NE) signals.
It detects the crank angle based on these NE signals.

Crankshaft position sensor
Protrusion

- 404
-
A pulse is generated when the protrusion provided on the
crankshaft padded near the sensor due to the revolution
of the crankshaft. A pulse is generated once for every
360 CA revolution of the crankshaft, and this is detected in the
form of a crankshaft angle reference position signal.

Camshaft Position Sensor


A camshaft position sensor is used on some engines
(1CD-FTV) in place of a crankshaft angle reference posi-
tion is detected in the form of a G signal.

1ND-TV Engine
For the 1ND-TV engine a hall element type camshaft
position sensor is used.

Water temperature sensor Fuel temperature sensor Water Temperature/Intake Air Temper-
ature/Fuel Temperature Sensor
There are three types of temperature
sensors that are used for controlling
the EFI-diesel:
The water temperature sensor is
mounted on the engine block to detect
the temperature of the engine coolant.
The intake air temperature sensor is
mounted on the intake pipe of the engine
and detects the temperature of the
intake air.
The fuel temperature sensor is mounted
on the pump and detects the tempera-
ture of the fuel.

About the Correction ROM
About the correction ROM :
Authorized workshops such as pump service shops use special tools to measure the pumps to replace the correc-

Other types of corrections:
In addition to the injection volume that has been determined here, fuel temperature correction is also made on some
vehicle models. If the fuel temperature is high, the actual injection volume is lower (due to the low density) than the
instructed value. Therefore, the instructed value must be increased.

Diagnosis Diagnostic Functions
As with the EFI system of the gasoline engine, the EFI-
diesel also features a diagnostic MOBD (OBD) function.

The MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) illuminates if a mal-


function is detected in the ECU itself or in the electrical
system.

The area of the malfunction will be indicated by a


DTC(Diagnostic Trouble Code) number. After the mal-
function has been resolved, the MIL will disappear. How-
ever, the DTC will remain stored in the ECU memory.
(1/2)

Check (Test) mode


Diagnosis The diagnosis function consisted of a normal mode and a
check (or test) mode.
While the normal mode performs normal diagnosis, the
check (or test) mode features an increased level of sensi-
Normal mode Check (Test)
mode tivity to detect even more detailed malfunction conditions.

Freeze frame data


Freeze frame data The ECU stores in its memory the conditions of the
engine at the time the malfunction occurred. The condi-
tions that existed at that time can be later retrieved and
reviewed through the use of a hand-held tester.

Fail-safe
Fail-safe The ECU assumes the fail-safe mode if a malfunction
occurs in some of the diagnostic items. This mode initial-
izes the signals to their prescribed values in order to
enable the vehicle to be driven.
(2/2)

DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) Dis-


play
Depending on the model, the check con-
nector might come as a DLC or DLC3.
The DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) can
be monitored by shorting the terminals
of the connector and counting the num-
ber of blinks. If no malfunctions have
occurred, the number of blinks will corre-
spond to normal conditions.
(1/2)

- 422
-
One of the methods for accessing the DTCs (Diagnostic
Trouble Codes) is to use a hand-held tester.
DLC1
The DTC numbers can be displayed on the hand-held
tester screen.

A hand-held tester can be used also for displaying the


conditions of the engine or of the sensor signals (refer-

During an active test, a diagnostic tester is used for out-
putting commands to the ECU in order to drive the actua-

Question- 4
Mark each of the following statements True or False.

No. Question True or False Correct Answers


The injection volume control function of the ECU calculates the opti-
1 mal injection volume based on the signals received from the sen- True False
sors, and outputs the control signals.

The EFI-diesel system constantly calculates the optimal injection


volume. However, this system cannot correct the changes in the
2 True False
injection volume due to the mechanical variances of the injection
pump.

Question- 5
Mark each of the following statements True or False.

No. Question True or False Correct Answers


The injection timing control function outputs a timing advance signal
1 True False
if the target injection timing is earlier than the actual injection timing.

Because the ECU constantly controls the engine idle to a specific


2 speed in accordance with the coolant temperature, the idle speed True False
drops when the air conditioner or the power heater is operated.

The conventional EFI-diesel system provides a pilot injection before True False

Question- 6
Mark each of the following statements True or False.

No. Question True or False Correct Answers


In the common-rail EFI-diesel, the actual injection volume is deter-
mined by calculating the fuel pressure that matches the operating
1 True False
conditions of the engine based on the engine speed, and the result-
ing fuel pressure control signals are output to the SCV.

When the ECU detects malfunction in the electrical system, the

1. Ensures an optimal amount of EGR

2. Reduces the intake noise and vibra-
tion by closing the throttle valve at
idle.
3. Reduces vibrations by fully closing
the throttle when stopping the engine
in order to reduce the amount of air

Diesel Throttle Operation


1. When the engine is running, the opening of the throttle
is optimally adjusted according to the engine speed,
engine load conditions, and the EGR volume.
2. When the engine is stopped, the throttle closes fully to
shut off the intake of air. By minimizing the compres-
sion in the cylinder, vibrations that occur when stop-
ping the engine are reduced.
