ENGINE CONTROL (1ZZ-FE, 3ZZ-FE)

SYSTEM OUTLINE
This system utilizes and engine and ECT ECU (A/T) or engine ECU (M/T) and maintains overall control of the engine,
transmission and so on. An outline of the engine control is explained here.
1. INPUT SIGNALS
(1) Water temp. signal circuit
The EFI water temp. sensor detects the engine coolant temp. and has a built-in thermistor with a resistance which
varies according to the engine coolant temp. thus the engine coolant temp. is input in the form of a control signal into
TERMINAL THW of the engine and ECT ECU (A/T) or engine ECU (M/T).
(2) Intake air temp. signal circuit
The intake air temp. sensor is installed in the air flow meter and detects the intake air temp., which is input as a control
signal into TERMINAL THA of the engine and ECT ECU (A/T) or engine ECU (M/T).
(3) Oxygen sensor signal circuit (3ZZ-FE)
The oxygen density in the exhaust emission is detected by the heated oxygen sensors and input as a control signal to
TERMINALS OX1A and OX1B of the engine and ECT ECU (A/T) or engine ECU (M/T).
(4) RPM signal circuit
Camshaft position and crankshaft position air detected by the camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor.
Camshaft position is input as a control signal to TERMINAL G2 of the engine and ECT ECU (A/T) or engine ECU (M/T),
and engine RPM is input into TERMINAL NE+.
(5) Throttle signal circuit
The throttle position sensor detects the throttle valve opening angle, which is input as a control signal into TERMINAL
VTA of the engine and ECT ECU (A/T) or engine ECU (M/T).
(6) Vehicle speed signal circuit
The vehicle speed sensor, installed inside the transmission, detects the vehicle speed and inputs a control signal into
TERMINAL SPD of the engine and ECT ECU (A/T) or engine ECU (M/T).
(7) A/C SW signal circuit
The A/C amplifier input the A/C operations into TERMINAL AC of the engine ECU.
(8) Battery signal circuit
Voltage is constantly applied to TERMINAL BATT of the engine and ECT ECU (A/T) or engine ECU (M/T). When the
ignition SW is turned on, the voltage for engine and ECT ECU (A/T) or engine ECU (M/T) start-up power supply is
applied to TERMINAL +B of engine and ECT ECU (A/T) or engine ECU (M/T) via EFI relay.
(9) Started signal circuit
To confirm whether the engine is cranking, the voltage applied to the starter motor during cranking is detected and the
signal is input into TERMINAL NSW of the engine and ECT ECU (A/T) or engine ECU (M/T) as a control signal.
(10) Engine knock signal circuit
Engine knocking is detected by knock sensor and the signal is input into TERMINAL KNK1 as a control signal.

2. CONTROL SYSTEM
∗ EFI system
The EFI system monitors the engine condition through the signals, which are input from each sensor to the engine and
ECT ECU (A/T) or engine ECU (M/T). The best fuel injection volume is decided based on this data and the program
memorized by the engine and ECT ECU (A/T) or engine ECU (M/T), and the control signal is output to TERMINALS #10,
#20, #30 and #40 of the engine and ECT ECU (A/T) or engine ECU (M/T) to operate the injector. (Inject the fuel). The
EFI system produces control of fuel injection operation by the engine and ECT ECU (A/T) or engine ECU (M/T) in
response to the driving conditions.
∗ ESA system
The ESA system monitors the engine condition through the signals, which are input to the engine and ECT ECU (A/T) or
engine ECU (M/T) from each sensor the best ignition timing is detected according to this data and the memorized data
in the engine and ECT ECU (A/T) or engine ECU (M/T), and the control signal is output to TERMINALS IGT1, IGT2,
IGT3 and IGT4. This signal controls the igniter to provide the best ignition timing for the driving conditions.
∗ ISC system
The ISC system (Rotary solenoid type) increases the RPM and provides idling stability for fast idle-up when the engine
is cold and when the idle speed has dropped due to electrical load, etc. The engine and ECT ECU (A/T) or engine ECU
(M/T) evaluates the signals from each sensor, outputs current to TERMINAL RSD, and controls the ISC valve.
∗ Fuel pump control system
The engine and ECT ECU (A/T) or engine ECU (M/T) operation outputs to TERMINAL FC and controls the C/OPN relay.
Thus controls the fuel pump drive speed in response to conditions.
∗ Heated oxygen sensor heater control system (3ZZ-FE)
The heated oxygen sensor heater control system turns the heater on when the intake air volume is low (Temp. of
exhaust emissions is low), and warms up the heated oxygen sensors to improve detection performance of the sensors.
The engine and ECT ECU (A/T) or engine ECU (M/T) evaluates the signals from each sensor, and outputs current to
TERMINALS HT1A and HT1B to control the heater
∗ VVT-i system
The system controls the position of the spool valve of the oil control valve according to the signals from the engine and
ECT ECU (A/T) or engine ECU (M/T). In this manner, the hydraulic pressure to the advance side vane chamber and the
retard side vane chamber of the VVT is controlled to vary the intake camshaft phase continuously.
3. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
With the diagnosis system, when there is a malfunctioning in the engine and ECT ECU (A/T) or engine ECU (M/T) signal
system, the malfunction system is recorded in the memory. The malfunctioning system can then be found by reading the
display (Code) of the malfunction indicator lamp.
4. FAIL-SAFE SYSTEM
When a malfunction occurs in any system, if there is a possibility of engine trouble being caused by continued control based
on the signals from that system, the fail-safe system either controls the system by using data (Standard values) recorded in
the engine and ECT ECU (A/T) or engine ECU (M/T) memory or else stops the engine.
