GENERATOR CONTROL
MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)13A-51
GENERATOR CONTROLM2132025000172
During engine idle operation, ECM controls duty of
conduction between generator G terminal and
ground. (G terminal duty is controlled to be the same
as ON duty of the power transistor inside the voltage
regulator). If headlights etc. are turned on while
engine is idling, the consumed current increases
suddenly, but by gradually increasing the generator G terminal OFF duty, ECM restricts sudden increase
in generator's output current and output current is
increased only gradually. (Battery current is supplied
to the headlamp etc. till generator produces sufficient
current.) Thus, ECM prevents change in idle speed
due to sudden increase of engine load.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM INCORRECT
PURGE FLOW MONITOR
M2132027200019
The ECM detects whether the fuel vapor leakage
exists or not from the evaporative emission control
system. By the specified pattern within the certain
operation range, the ECM drives the evaporative
emission purge solenoid and the evaporative emis
-
sion ventilation solenoid. This allows slight vacuum
to be produced in the fuel tank.
The ECM measures the vacuum condition through
the fuel tank differential pressure sensor signal. By
comparing the normal (expected) value and the
actual value, the ECM detects whether the fuel vapor
leakage exists or not from the evaporative emission
control system.

SEAT
INTERIOR52A-6
•The seat frame and head restraint have been
installed to the proper positions to minimize the
severity of whiplash injury at rear-end collision at
a low speed. (Whiplash injury reduction seat
structure)
•The overall height mechanism raises and lowers
the seat cushion together with the seatback, thus
the driver's posture is always kept at the best
position, resulting in the improved riding comfort.
•The pump-type height lever has been adopted for
easier operation with a light force by the vertical
adjustment system. Also, the height adjustment
amount has been increased for more optimum
driving position.
•The variable hardness pad has been adopted for
the sporty-look seat with increased bucket
amount of side bolster in order to establish the
sporty shape with support function <GTS>, and
the standard shape which is basic and for actual
use and comfortable driving.
•Heated seats are available for the driver's and
passenger's seats. <ES, GTS: Option>
