AIR FLOW METER
The air flow meter measures the mass flowrate of
intake air. Measurements are made in such
a man-
ner
that the control circuit emits an electrical out-
put signal
in relation to the amount of heat dissi-
pated from the hot wire placed
in the stream of
intake
air.

The air flowing around the hot wire removes the
heat from
the hot wire The temperature of the hot
wire
is very sensitive to the mass flowrate of the
air.
The higher the temperature of the hot wire, the
higher
its resistance value This change in the
temperature (or. resistance)
IS determined by the
mass flowrate of the air. The control circuit
ac-
curately regulates current (I) in relation to the
varying resistance value
(RH) so that VA always
equals VB The air flow meter transmits an output
for voltage
VA to the control unit where the
output
is convened into an intake air signal.

The E.C C S control unit calculates basic injection
pulse
width by processing signals from crank angle
sensor and air flow meter Receiving signals from
each sensor which detects various engine condi-
tions,
E C.C S control unit adds various enrich-
ments, which are pre-programmed
in the control
unit, to the basic injection amount. Thus, the op-
timum amount of fuel is injected through the
injectors.

timing is controlled, corresponding to the
engine operating conditions, by the
E C C S con-
trol unit that
is, as the optimum ignition timing in
each driving condition has been pre-programmed in
the control unit, the ignition timing
IS determined
by electrical signals processed in the unit
The signal from
E C C S control unit is trans-
mitted to power transistor, and controls ignition
timing
The retard system by detonation sensor
is designed
only for emergencies on VG30ET engines. The
basic ignition timing
is pre-programmed within the
anti-knocking zone, even
if recommended fuel is
used under dry conditions Consequently, the
retard system does not operate under normal
driving conditions
However,
if there engine knocking occurs, the
detonation sensor monitors knocking condition
and the signal is transmitted to the E.C.C S
control unit After receiving it, the control unit
retards the ignition timing to avoid the knocking
condition

unit, be sure to turn the ignition switch to the
"OFF" position and disconnect the negative
battery terminal
Otherwise, there may
be damage to control
unit
Do not attempt to disassemble any E C C S
component parts. To conduct electrical checks
on these component parts, closely follow the
steps outlined under "ELECTRONIC CON-
TROL SYSTEM INSPECTI0N"on pages EF
&
EC-43 through EF & EC-59.
When conducting self-diagnosing, follow the
steps outlined under "SELF-DIAGNOSIS" on
pages EF
& EC-35 through EF & EC-42 in
order to obtain accurate diagnosing results
After selfdiagnosing has been completed, erase
the memory properly
Always turn the diagnosis mode selector care-
fully using
a screwdriver If it is turned forci-
bly,
it may be damaged, resulting in the inabili-
ty to perform the self-diagnosing or to monitor
the mixture ratio
Before troubleshooting, ensure that
all harness
connectors are secure.
