CONTROL UNIT
MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)13A-6
CONTROL UNITM2132021500153
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)
ECM is installed in the engine room. ECM judges
(calculates) the optimum control to deal with the con
-
stant minute changes in driving conditions based on
information input from the sensors and drives the
actuator. ECM is composed of 32-bit microprocessor
and Random Access Memory (RAM), Read Only
Memory (ROM) and Input /Output interface. ECM uses flash-memory ROM that allows re-writing of
data so that change and correction of control data is
possible using special tools. It also uses Electrically
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
(EEPROM) so that studied compensation data is not
deleted even if battery terminals are disconnected.

SENSORM2132001000565.
MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR
Mass airflow sensor is installed in the air intake hose. Mass air-
flow sensor is composed of an extremely small heatsensing
resistor. The mass airflow sensor controls the amount of elec
-
tric current flowing into the heat sensing resistor to keep the
heat sensing resistor at a constant temperature to the intake air
temperature. The faster the air flow speed, the higher the mass
flow rate.Because the amount of heat transfer from the heat
sensing resistor to the air increases, the mass airflow sensor
increases the amount of electric current to the heat sensing
resistor. Thus, the amount of electric current increases in
accordance with the air mass flow rate. The mass airflow sen
-
sor measures the air mass flow rate by detecting the amount of
electric current. The mass airflow sensor amplifies the detected
electric current amount and outputs it into the ECM. ECM uses
this output current and engine speed to calculate and decide
basic fuel injection time. Sensor properties are as shown in the
figure.
.
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Intake air temperature sensor is built in to the mass airflow sen-
sor. Intake air temperature sensor detects intake air tempera-
ture through thermistor's resistance change and outputs the
voltage according to intake air temperature to ECM. ECM uses
this output voltage to compensate fuel injection control and
ignition timing control. Sensor properties are as shown in the
figure.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The engine coolant temperature sensor is installed in the ther-
mostat housing. Engine coolant temperature sensor uses ther-
mistor's resistance change to detect coolant temperature and
output the voltage according to coolant temperature to ECM.
ECM uses this output voltage to appropriately control fuel injec
-
tion volume, idle speed and ignition timing. Sensor properties
are as shown in the figure.
.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
The throttle position sensor is installed in the throttle body.
Throttle position sensor outputs voltage to ECM based on the
throttle shaft rotation angle. ECM uses this signal to detect the
throttle valve opening angle to perform throttle actuator control
motor feedback control. This throttle position sensor uses Hall
IC and is a non-contact type.

SENSOR
MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)13A-17
The intake camshaft position sensor uses a magnetic resis-
tance element. When the camshaft position sensing portion
passes the front surface of the magnetic resistance element,
the flux from the magnet passes the magnetic resistance ele
-
ment. Thus, resistance of the magnetic resistance element
increases. When the camshaft position sensing portion does
not pass the front surface of the magnetic resistance element,
the flux from the magnet does not pass the magnetic resistance
element and the resistance decreases. The intake camshaft
position sensor converts this change in resistance of the mag
-
netic resistance element to a 5 V pulse signal and outputs it to
ECM
.
EXHAUST CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
The exhaust camshaft position sensor is installed on the right
side of the cylinder head. The exhaust camshaft position sen
-
sor monitors shape of the half-moon sensing portion and con-
verts to voltage (pulse signal) that is output to ECM. Upon
receiving this output voltage, the ECM effects feedback control
to optimize the phase of the exhaust camshaft. The structure
and system of this sensor are basically the same as intake
camshaft position sensor.
.
.
KNOCK SENSOR
A knock sensor is installed on the left side of the cylinder block.
Knock sensor uses the piezoelectric element to convert the
vibration of the cylinder block generated when engine is in
operation to minute voltage that is output to ECM. ECM uses
the minute output voltage from the knock sensor filtered
through the cylinder block's natural frequency to detect knock
-
ing, and compensates the ignition timing lag according to the
strength of the knocking.
