w For water±proof type connectors, in order to measure
the voltage of ECU terminals and the resistance of
connected parts, connect a check harness (SST
09990±01000) between the ECU and wiring
connectors, then perform the inspection.
w Avoid inserting a tester probe from the other side of
connector as this noticeably reduces the water±proof
ability.
w Disconnect the ECU connectors by fully loosening the
bolt.
(a) Remove the bolt, and disconnect the two ECU
connectors.
NOTICE:
w Do not pull the wiring harness when disconnecting the
connectors.
w When disconnecting the connector, the ECU's back±up
power source is cut off, so the malfunction codes, etc.
recorded in the ECU memory are cancelled.

EFI SYSTEM
± Electronic Control System (Engine & ECT ECU)
WhereEverybodyKnowsYourName

The EFI system is composed of three basic sub±systems: Fuel, Air Induction and Elect\
ronic Control
Systems.
FUEL SYSTEM
An electric pump fuel pressure supplies sufficient fuel, under a constant pressure, to the EFI injectors. In
accordance with signals from the ECU (Electronic Control Unit), these \
injectors inject the quantity of fuel most
appropriate for the engine condition into the intake manifold.
AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
The air induction system provides sufficient air for engine operation.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
The 1UZ±FE engine (ECU±formerly EFI computer) with a microcomputer \
centrally controls the EFI, ESA,
ISC and Diagnosis system, etc. The ECU controls the following functions:
1. Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)
The ECU receives signals from various sensors indicating changing engine op\
eration conditions such as:Intake air volume
Intake air temperature
Coolant temperature
Engine rpm
Acceleration/deceleration
Exhaust oxygen content etc.
The signals are utilized by the ECU to determine the injection duration nec\
essary for an optimum air±fuel
ratio.
2. Electronic Spark Advance (ESA) The ECU is programmed with data for optimum ignition timing under any and all opera\
ting conditions. Using
data provided by sensors which monitor various engine functions (rpm, coola\
nt temperature, etc.), the
Electronic Control Unit (ECU) triggers the spark at precisely right instant. (S\
ee IG section)
3. Idle Speed Control (ISC) The ECU is programmed with idle speed data for various engine conditions (\
coolant temperature, air condi-
tioner ON/OFF, etc.).
The air volume flowing through the throttle valve by±pass passage is adj\
usted according to the signal from
each sensor and the idle speed is kept at the set value.
4. Diagnosis Function When the ECU detects any malfunctions or abnormalities in the sensor network\
, it lights the ºCHECKº en-
gine warning light in the combination meter. At the same time, the trouble is identified and a diagnostic code
is recorded by the ECU. The diagnostic code can be read by the number of\
blinks of the ºCHECKº engine
warning light when terminals TE1 and E1 are connected. The diagnostic co\
des are refer to the later page.
(See TR section)
5. Self±Correction Function If any sensor malfunctions, an average value recorded in the back±up ci\
rcuit is substituted to make driving
possible.
If danger is predicted, the engine is stopped and the ºCHECKº engine\
warning light will light up.
6. Fail±Safe Function Even if an abnormality occurs in the ECU, the back±up circuit uses a specifie\
d fuel injection and ignition
timing to provide vehicle driveability, and also lightsup the ºCHECKº engine warning light.

EFI SYSTEM Precautions, Inspection PrecautionsFI±11
WhereEverybodyKnowsYourName

IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE
RADIO SYSTEM (HAM, CB, ETC.)
The ECU has been designed so that it will not be affected by out-
side interference. However, if your vehicle is equipped with a CB
radio transceiver, etc. (even one with about 10 W output), it may,
at times, have an effect upon ECU operation, especially if the an-
tenna and feeder are installed nearby.
Therefore, observe the following precautions:
1. Install the antenna as far away as possible from the ECU. The ECU is located on the floor panel on the passenger side
so the antenna should be installed at the rear of the vehicle.
2. Keep the antenna feeder as far away as possible from the ECU wires±at least 20 cm (7.87 in.) ±and, especially, do not
wind them together.
3. Check that the feeder and antenna are properly adjusted.
4. Do not equip your vehicle with a powerful mobile radio
system.
5. Do not open the cover or the case of the ECU unless absolutely necessary. (If the IC terminals are touched, the IC
may be destroyed by static electricity.)
AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
1. Separation of the engine oil dipstick, oil filler cap, PCV hose,
etc. may cause the engine to run out of tune.
2. Disconnection, looseness or cracks in the parts of the air
induction system between the throttle body and cylinder
head will cause air suction and cause the engine to run out
of tune.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
1. Before removing EFI wiring connectors, terminals, etc., firstdisconnect the power by either turning the ignition switch
OFF or disconnecting the battery terminals.
HINT: Always check the diagnosis code before disconnecting
the battery terminals.
2. When installing the battery, be especially careful not to
incorrectly connect the positive (+) and negative (±) cables.
3. Do not permit parts to receive a severe impact during removal or installation. Handle all EFI parts carefully, especially the
ECU.
4. Do not be careless during troubleshooting as there are numerous transistor circuits and even slight terminal contact
can cause further troubles.
5. Do not open the ECU cover.
6. When inspecting during rainy weather, take care to prevent entry of water. Also, when washing the engine compartment,
prevent water from getting on the EFI parts and wiring
connectors.
7. Parts should be replaced as an assembly.
