GENERAL INFORMATION
The Multipoint Fuel Injection System consists
of sensors which detect the engine conditions,
the engine-ECU which controls the system
based on signals from these sensors, and
actuators which operate under the control of
the engine-ECU. The engine-ECU carries outactivities such as fuel injection control, idle
speed control and ignition timing control. In
addition, the engine-ECU is equipped with
several diagnosis modes which simplify
troubleshooting when a problem develops.
FUEL INJECTION CONTROL
The injector drive times and injector timing are
controlled so that the optimum air/fuel mixture
is supplied to the engine to correspond to the
continually-changing engine operation condi-
tions.
A single injector is mounted at the intake port
of each cylinder. Fuel is sent under pressure
from the fuel tank by the fuel pump, with the
pressure being regulated by the fuel pressure
regulator. The fuel thus regulated is distributed
to each of the injectors.
Fuel injection is normally carried out once for
each cylinder for every two rotations of the
crankshaft. The firing order is 1-3-4-2. This iscalled sequential fuel injection. The
engine-ECU provides a richer air/fuel mixture
by carrying out “open-loop” control when the
engine is cold or operating under high load
conditions in order to maintain engine
performance. In addition, when the engine is
warm or operating under normal conditions,
the engine-ECU controls the air/fuel mixture
by using the oxygen sensor signal to carry out
“closed-loop” control in order to obtain the
theoretical air/fuel mixture ratio that provides
the maximum cleaning performance from the
three way catalyst.
IDLE AIR CONTROL
The idle speed is kept at the optimum speed
by controlling the amount of air that bypasses
the throttle valve in accordance with changes
in idling conditions and engine load during
idling. The engine-ECU drives the idle speed
control motor to keep the engine running at
the pre-set idle target speed in accordance
with the engine coolant temperature and airconditioner load. In addition, when the air
conditioner switch is turned off and on while
the engine is idling, the idle speed control motor
operates to adjust the throttle valve bypass
air amount in accordance with the engine load
conditions in order to avoid fluctuations in the
engine speed.
IGNITION TIMING CONTROL
The power transistor located in the ignition
primary circuit turns ON and OFF to control
the primary current flow to the ignition coil. This
controls the ignition timing in order to provide
the optimum ignition timing with respect to theengine operating conditions. The ignition timing
is determined by the engine-ECU from the
engine speed, intake air volume, engine coolant
temperature and barometric pressure.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
DWhen an abnormality is detected in one
of the sensors or actuators related to
emission control, the engine warning lamp
(check engine lamp) illuminates as a
warning to the driver.
DWhen an abnormality is detected in one
of the sensors or actuators, a diagnosis
code corresponding to the abnormality is
output.DThe RAM data inside the engine-ECU that
is related to the sensors and actuators can
be read by means of the MUT-II. In addition,
the actuators can be force-driven under
certain circumstances.

MPI -General Information13A-4
OTHER CONTROL FUNCTIONS
1. Fuel Pump Control
Turns the fuel pump relay ON so that current
is supplied to the fuel pump while the engine
is cranking or running.
2. A/C Relay Control
Turns the compressor clutch of the A/C
ON and OFF.3. Fan Motor Control
The revolutions of the radiator fan and
condenser fan are controlled in response to
the engine coolant temperature and vehicle
speed.
4. Purge Control Solenoid Valve Control
Refer to GROUP 17.
5. EGR Control Solenoid Valve Control
Refer to GROUP 17.

DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
ENGINE WARNING LAMP (CHECK ENGINE LAMP)
If an abnormality occurs in any of the following items related
to the MPI system, the engine warning lamp will illuminate
or flash. If the lamp remains illuminated or if the lamp
illuminates while the engine is running, check the diagnosis
code output.
However, the warning lamp will illuminate as bulb check for
5 seconds whenever the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position.

Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection
Service Points.
INSPECTION USING MUT-IIDATA LIST AND ACTUATOR
TESTING
1. Carry out inspection by means of the data list and the
actuator test function. If there is an abnormality, check
and repair the chassis harnesses and components.
2. After repairing, re-check using the MUT-IIand check that
the abnormal input and output have returned to normal
as a result of the repairs.
3. Erase the diagnosis code memory.
4. Remove the MUT-II, and then start the engine again and
carry out a road test to confirm that the problem has
disappeared.

MPI -TroubleshootingMPI -Troubleshooting13A-11
CONFIRMING FREEZE FRAME DATA
When the engine-ECU detects a malfunction and stores a diagnosis code, it also stores a current status
of the engine. This function is called “Freeze frame” data. By analyzing this “Freeze frame” data with
MUT-II, an effective troubleshooting can be performed.
NOTE
If mulfunctions have been detected in multiple systems, engine-ECU stores one malfunction only, which
has been detected first.

FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION REFERENCE TABLE
When the main sensor malfunctions are detected by the diagnosis function, the vehicle is controlled
by means of the pre-set control logic to maintain safe conditions for driving.
Malfunctioning itemControl contents during malfunction
Air flow sensor1. Uses the throttle position sensor signal and engine speed signal (crank angle sensor
signal) to take reading of the basic injector drive time and basic ignition timing from
the pre-set mapping.
2. Fixes the idle speed control servo in the appointed position so idle control is not
performed.
Intake air temperature
sensorControls as if the intake air temperature is 25_C.
Throttle position
sensorNo increase in fuel injection amount during acceleration due to the throttle position sensor
signal.
Engine coolant
temperature sensor1. Controls as if the engine coolant temperature is 80_C.
(Even after sensor signal is correctly recovered, continues until the ignition switch
is set to the “LOCK” (OFF) position.)
2. Rotates radiator fan and condenser fan at high speed.
Camshaft position
sensor1. Inject all fuel cylinders simultaneously. (However, when the No.1 cylinder top dead
centre is not detected at all after the ignition switch is turned to “ON” position.)
2. Shuts off fuel supply after 4 seconds have passed since a failure was detected.
(However, when the No.1 cylinder top dead centre is not detected at all after the
ignition switch is turned to “ON” position.)
Barometric pressure
sensorControls as if the barometric pressure is 101 kPa.
Detonation sensorSwitches the ignition timing from ignition timing for super petrol to ignition timing for standard
petrol.
Alternator FR terminalDoes not control the output of the alternator according to an electrical load. (works as a
normal alternator)
