(in.Hg)EC1551A barometric pressure sensor is
alas mounted on
the
aif flow sensor. It senses the barometric
pressure and converts it to electrical voltage which
is sent as a signal to the engine control unit.
Using this signal, the engine control unit calculates
the altitude
of.the location where the vehicle is, and
corrects the fuel injection quantity for the optimum
air-fuel ratio at that altitude, and also corrects the

This ensures improved driveability at high altitudes.
The barometric pressure sensor converts the pres-

resistance of a strain gauge changes in direct
proportion to the pressure as shown in this diagram

3Air conditioner
This switch sends the air conditioner ON/OFF signal
to the engine control unit.
When the air conditioner is turned on and the enginecontrol unit receives the ON
signal from the switch,
it commands the idle speed control servo
toincrease the idle speed to the preset rpm. Thus
engine rpm loss due to air conditioner operation
while the engine is idling is prevented and smooth
idling operation is ensured.

FUEL SYSTEM- Ermine Control Unit
FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTiON
(1) The fail-safe function controls the system so
that passenger and vehicle safety can be
maxi-
mized. in the event of failure of sens.ors or other
parts.If a sensor related to
ISC fails, for example, the
engine control unit is programmed to prevent
sharp increases in the engine speed.(2) The backup function of the engine control unit
ignores the output signal of a failed sensor and
instead uses a built-in program or set of values
so that the vehicle may continue to function. The
operating state when the backup function is
being used, is termed the emergency mode, and
the engine, control unit keeps the engine warn-
ing light ON during this mode.

The injector activation duration is determined
basi-
tally by the intake air flow signal from the air flow
sensor and the crank angle signal (engine rpm
signal). The duration determined in this way is called‘le “basic activation duration”. A correction factor is
applied to the basic duration according to the signalsfrom various sensors, to obtain the optimum
injec-tor activation duration (fuel injection volume) for
current driving conditions.
