STARTER RELAY CONTROL
MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)13A-48
When the ignition switch-ST signal is input, ECM
turns ON the power transistor for control of the
starter relay.

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR HEATER CONTROL
MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)13A-49
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR HEATER CONTROLM2132007000206
When exhaust gas temperature is low, the heated
oxygen sensor response is dull. So, response is
improved by raising the sensor temperature by pass
-
ing current through the heater at a low exhaust gas
temperature, such as in the immediate aftermath of
the engine start, or during the warm up operation and in cutting the fuel during deceleration. Based on driv
-
ing conditions and the heated oxygen sensor activa-
tion state, ECM changes the amount of current (duty
ratio) to the heater to quicken the activation of the
heated oxygen sensor.

A/C COMPRESSOR RELAY CONTROL
MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)13A-50
A/C COMPRESSOR RELAY CONTROLM2132034500120
The ECM turns on the power transistor when the A/C
switch ON signal is input by the A/C-ECU through
the CAN. This allows the A/C compressor relay to be
ON and to be operated. During the high load opera
-
tion, such as the acceleration with the fully opened
accelerator, the ECM secures the acceleration capa
-
bility by turning off the A/C compressor relay for the
specified period to produce no load on the A/C com
-
pressor.

GENERATOR CONTROL
MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)13A-51
GENERATOR CONTROLM2132025000172
During engine idle operation, ECM controls duty of
conduction between generator G terminal and
ground. (G terminal duty is controlled to be the same
as ON duty of the power transistor inside the voltage
regulator). If headlights etc. are turned on while
engine is idling, the consumed current increases
suddenly, but by gradually increasing the generator G terminal OFF duty, ECM restricts sudden increase
in generator's output current and output current is
increased only gradually. (Battery current is supplied
to the headlamp etc. till generator produces sufficient
current.) Thus, ECM prevents change in idle speed
due to sudden increase of engine load.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM INCORRECT
PURGE FLOW MONITOR
M2132027200019
The ECM detects whether the fuel vapor leakage
exists or not from the evaporative emission control
system. By the specified pattern within the certain
operation range, the ECM drives the evaporative
emission purge solenoid and the evaporative emis
-
sion ventilation solenoid. This allows slight vacuum
to be produced in the fuel tank.
The ECM measures the vacuum condition through
the fuel tank differential pressure sensor signal. By
comparing the normal (expected) value and the
actual value, the ECM detects whether the fuel vapor
leakage exists or not from the evaporative emission
control system.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ENGINE LUBRICATION12-2
GENERAL DESCRIPTIONM2120000100249
The lubrication system is a full-flow, filter pumping
system.
The engine oil that accumulates in the oil pan is
drawn and discharged by the oil pump. After its pres
-
sure is regulated by the relief valve, the oil passes
through the oil filter. Then, it flows from the oil pas
-
sage in the cylinder block to the individual crankshaft
journals and the cylinder head.
After the oil is pumped to the individual crankshaft
journals, it passes through a passage in the crank
-
shaft and is fed to the pins. After the oil is pumped to
the cylinder head, it flows to the camshaft journals
and the engine oil control valves.
