CRANK ANGLE SENSOR

DiscSensor
The crank angle sensor is mounted on the cylinder
head and is directly coupled to the intake camshaft.The crank angle sensor consists of a disc -and a
sensor unit.

The disc, made of metal, has four slits located 90 degrees aparton its periphery and two slits located 180 degrees apart inward
of the four slits.
-The inner slits are used by the top dead center sensor
th,detects the top dead center of the No.
1 and No. 4 cylinders,
and the outer four slits are used by the crank angle sensor that
detects the crank angle. The disc is positioned on the sensor
shaft and rotates as a unit with it, being turned by the intake
camshaft.The sensor unit has two
LEDs and two photo diodes, used’to
detect the crank angle sensor slits and the top dead center
sensor slits.
The disc rotates between the
LEDs and the photo diodes. Each
time a slit comes between a LED and photo diode pair, the light
emitted by the LED reaches the photo diode by passing
through the slit.

FUEL SYSTEM - Sensors14-21When exposed to light, the photo diode conducts
urrent in a direction opposite to an ordinary diode.
.s a result, current flows in the direction indicated
by the arrow and dotted line and a voltage (5 volts) isapplied to the comparator of the sensor unit so that
the terminal voltage of the engine control unit
becomes 5 volts. When the disc rotates further andthe slit moves beyond the space between the
LED/photo diode pair, the light can no longer reach
the photo diode, thus the current indicated by the
dotted line ceases to flow and the terminal voltage
of the engine control unit becomes 0 volt.
tn this
way, pulse signals are sent to the engine control
unit from the sensor unit.

- Oxygen‘-serisor
The oxygen sensor is mounted at the outlet of the exhaust
manifold or the turbocharger. The sensor, which uses an
oxygen concentration cell having a, solid electrolyte, has such
characteristics that its output voltage changes sharply in the
vicinity of the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio.
The sensor makes use of this characteristic to detect oxygen
concentration in the exhaust gas and feeds back the signal to
the engine control unit, which then decides if the air/fuel ratio is
rich or iean relative to the stoichiometric ratio.
Based on this decision, the air/fuel ratio is feedback-controlled
to achieve the stoichiometric ratio at which the catalytic
converter operates most effectively.
In addition, because this oxygen sensor incorporates a heater,
the response of the sensor is good even if the temperature of
the exhaust gas is low, and, as a result, feedback control of the
air/fuel ratio is possible for a short time after the engine is
started.

1Vehicle speed km/h (mph)The vehicle speed sensor is a reed switch type sensor and is
installed in the speedometer. It converts the transmission
speedometer driven gear revolutions (vehicle speed) to
ptsignals and sends them to the engine control unit.
The sensor generates four pulse signals for each rotation of the
speedometer driven gear.
5Therefore, the sensor output frequency increases in proportion
to the vehicle speed as shown at the left.

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.

6FUO5OtIWhen the steering wheel is turned and the oil
pressure of the power steering oil pump increases,
the power steering oifpressure switch sends an ON

theidle speed. Specifically, it prevents the idle

When the ignition switch ON signal is input to the
engine control unit, the unit energizes the control
relay coil to supply power to the sensors and
actuators.When the ignition switch ST signal is input to the
engine control unit, it determines that the engine
iscranking and controls the fuel injection rate,

This terminal
is used when adjusting the basic ignition timing or
basic idle speed.
When this terminal is shorted to ground, the engine control unit
cancels the
ignition timing control and idle speed control, and
sets the ignition
timing and idle speed control servos in their
adjusting mode.
For the basic idle speed adjustment, the diagnosis terminal is
also shorted to ground.
DETONATION SENSOR
The detonation sensor is installed at a position where it can
detect, with a high degree of precision, knocking generated at
each cylinder; it detects cylinder block vibrations caused by
knocking, and outputs voltage proportional to the magnitude of
those vibrations.
Because cylinder block vibrations caused by knocking vary
from engine to engine, the engine control unit passes this
through a frequncy filter, detecting only the knocking, thus
resulting in a spark retardation of the ignition timing that
corresponds to the strength of the knocking.

INHIBITOR SWITCH The inhibitor switch’s ON (when “N” or
“P”) or OFF (when
other than “N” or

unit. The engine control unit, based on these signals, then
determines whether the transaxle is in neutral or is in a drive
range, and then activates the idle-speed control servo so as tc
regulate the idling rpm.
