2. Fuel Returnless System
This type of fuel system is used to reduce the evaporative emission. As shown below, by integrating the fuel
filter and pressure regulator with fuel pump assembly, the fuel return system in which the fuel returns from
the engine area is discontinued and temperature rise inside the fuel tank is prevented.
3. Fuel Delivery Pipe
The fuel delivery pipe made of plastic is used to realize lightweight.
The right and left fuel delivery pipes are connected by a nylon tube.
The pulsation damper is sealed with an O-ring and secured with a holder.

IGNITION SYSTEM
1. General
A DIS (Direct Ignition System) is used. The DIS improves the ignition timing accuracy, reduces high-voltage
loss, and enhances the overall reliability of the ignition system by eliminating the distributor.
The DIS is an independent ignition system which has one ignition coil (with igniter) for each cylinder.
2. Ignition Coil
The DIS provides 6 ignition coils, one for each
cylinder. The spark plug cap, which provides
contact to the spark plug, are integrated with an
ignition coil. Also, an igniter is enclosed to
simplify the system.

3. Spark Plug
Long-reach type spark plugs are used. This type of spark plugs allow the area of the cylinder head to
receive the spark plugs to be made thick. Thus, the water jacket can be extended near the combustion
chamber, which contributes to cooling performance.
Iridium-tipped spark plugs are used to achieve a 120,000 miles (193,000 km) maintenance interval. By
making the center electrode of iridium, the superior ignition performance as platinum-tipped spark plugs
is achieved and durability has been increased.

2. Dual Winding System (For Towing Package Models and Models with RSES)
A dual winding system is used. This system consists of two sets of three-phase windings whose phases are
staggered 30
. Because the generated waves from the respective windings cancel out each other, magnetic
noise is reduced.
3. Generator Pulley
A one-way clutch is set to the generator pulley. Operation of the one-way clutch cancels generator pulley
inertia and helps to prevent slipping of the V-ribbed belt. This realizes a low tension V-ribbed belt that
achieves reduced friction.

STARTING SYSTEM
The 2GR-FE engine uses the same starter as the 2AZ-FE engine. For details, see page EG-27.
SERPENTINE BELT DRIVE SYSTEM
1. General
Accessory components are driven by a serpentine belt consisting of a single V-ribbed belt. It reduces the
overall engine length, weight and the number of engine parts.
An automatic tensioner eliminates the need for tension adjustment.
2. Automatic Tensioner
The tension of the V-ribbed belt is properly maintained by the tension spring that is enclosed in the automatic
tensioner.

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
1. General
The engine control system of the 2GR-FE engine has the following features.
System
Outline
SFI
(Sequential Multiport
Fuel Injection)
[See page EG-117]
An L-type SFI system detects the intake air mass with a hot-wire type air
flow meter.
ESA
(Electronic Spark
Advance)
Ignition timing is determined by the ECM based on signals from various
sensors. The ECM corrects ignition timing in response to engine
knocking.
This system selects the optimal ignition timing in accordance with the
signals received from the sensors and sends the (IGT) ignition signal to
the igniter.
ETCS-i
(Electronic Throttle
Control
System-intelligent)
[See page EG-118]
Optimally controls the throttle valve opening in accordance with the amount
of accelerator pedal effort and the condition of the engine and the vehicle.
Dual VVT-i
(Variable Valve
Timing-intelligent)
System
[See page EG-120]
Controls the intake and exhaust camshafts to an optimal valve timing in
accordance with the engine condition.
ACIS
(Acoustic Control
Induction System)
[See page EG-126]The intake air passages are switched according to the engine speed and
throttle valve opening angle to provided high performance in all speed
ranges.
Air Intake Control
System
[See page EG-128]The intake air duct is divided into two areas, and the ECM controls the air
intake control valve and the actuator that are provided in one of the areas to
reduce the amount of engine noise.
Fuel Pump Control
[See page EG-53 in
2AZ-FE section]Fuel pump operation is controlled by signals from the ECM.
The fuel pump is stopped, when the SRS airbag is deployed in a frontal,
side, and rear side collision.
Air Conditioning Cut-off
ControlBy turning the air conditioning compressor ON or OFF in accordance with
the engine condition, drivability is maintained.
Charging Control
[See page EG-65 in
2AZ-FE section]The engine ECU regulates the charging voltage of the generator in
accordance with the driving conditions and the charging state of the battery.
Cooling Fan Control
[See page EG-129]
The cooling fan ECU steplessly controls the speed of the fans in accordance
with the engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, engine speed, and air
conditioning operating conditions. As a result, the cooling performance is
improved.

ENGINE - 2GR-FE ENGINE EG-102
System
Outline
Air-fuel Ratio Sensor and
Oxygen Sensor Heater
ControlMaintains the temperature of the air-fuel ratio sensor or oxygen sensor at an
appropriate level to increase accuracy of detection of the oxygen
concentration in the exhaust gas.
Evaporative Emission
Control
[See page EG-131]
The ECM controls the purge flow of evaporative emission (HC) in the
canister in accordance with engine conditions.
Approximately five hours after the ignition switch has been turned OFF,
the ECM operates the canister pump module to detect any evaporative
emission leakage occurring in the EVAP (evaporative emission) control
system through changes in the EVAP control system pressure.
Engine ImmobilizerProhibits fuel delivery and ignition if an attempt is made to start the engine
with an invalid ignition key.
Diagnosis
[See page EG-132]When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM diagnoses and memorizes
the failed section.
Fail-safe
[See page EG-133]When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM stops or controls the engine
according to the data already stored in the memory.
