OPERATIONl
While the ignition switch is on, battery power is supplied to the engine control unit, the injector, the airflow sensor, etc.
lWhen the ignition switch is turned on, the battery voltage is applied from the ignition switch to the engine
control unit, which then turns ON the power transistor to energize the control relay coil. This turns ON thecontrol relay switch and the power is supplied from the battery to the engine control unit through the
control relay switch.

OPERATIONl
The air flow sensor located in the air cleaner converts the engine intake air volume into a pulse signal of
frequency proportional to the air volume and inputs it to the engine control unit, which then computes thefuel injection rate, etc. based on the input signal.
l
The air flow sensor power is supplied from the control relay to the air flow sensor and is grounded in theengine control unit. The air flow sensor generates a pulse signal as it repeatedly opens and closes
between the 5 V voltage supplied from the engine control unit and ground.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Hint 1 :If the engine stalls occasionally, crank the engine and shake the air flow sensor harness. If the engineHint 2:stalls, poor contact of the air flow sensor connector is suspected.
If the air flow sensor output frequency is other than 0 when the ignition switch is turned on (but notHint 3:starting the engine), faulty air flow sensor or engine control unit is suspected.
If the engine can be run idle even though the air flow sensor output frequency is out of specification,troubles are often found in other than the air flow sensor itself.
[Examples](1) Disturbed air flow in the air flow sensor
(Disconnected air duct, clogged air cleaner element)
(2) Poor combustion in the cylinder
(Faulty ignition plug, ignition coil, injector, incorrect compression pressure, etc.)
(3) Air leaking into the intake manifold through gap of gasket, etc.
(4) Loose EGR valve seatTSB Revision

OPERATIONl
The intake air temperature sensor converts the engine intake air temperature into a voltage and inputs it tothe engine control unit, which then corrects the fuel injection rate, etc. based on the input signal.
lThe 5 V power in the engine control unit is supplied via a resistor in the unit to the intake air temperature
sensor. Via the sensor which is a kind of resistor, it is grounded in the engine control unit. The intake airtemperature sensor resistor has such characteristic that its resistance decreases as the intake air
temperature rises.l The intake air temperature sensor terminal voltage increases or decreases as the sensor resistance
increases or decreases. Therefore, the intake air temperature sensor terminal voltage ch.anges with theintake air temperature, decreasing as the temperature rises.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
The intake air temperature sensor senses the intake air temperature in the air cleaner so that it may indicate atemperature different from outside temperature depending on engine operating state.

OPERATION
lThe engine coolant temperature sensor converts the engine coolant temperature into a voltage and inputsit to the engine control unit, which then controls the fuel injection rate and fast idle speed when the
engine is cold based on the input signal.
l The 5 V power in the engine control unit is supplied via a resistor in the unit to the engine coolant
temperature sensor. Through the sensor which is a kind of resistor, it is grounded in the engine control
unit. The engine coolant temperature sensor resistor has such characteristic that its resistance decreasesas the coolant temperature rises.
lThe engine coolant temperature sensor terminal voltage increases or decreases as the sensor resistance
increases or decreases. Therefore, the engine coolant temperature sensor terminal voltage changes withthe coolant temperature, decreasing as the temperature rises.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
If the fast idle speed is inadequate or the engine emits dark smoke during engine warm up operation, theengine coolant temperature sensor is often faulty.
