high (surge) voltage to
develop in coil and condenser, thus
resulting in damage to IC circuit
Keep
E C C S harness at least 10 cm
(3 9 in) away from adjacent
harnesses, to prevent an

of external noise, degraded operation
of
IC circuit. etc
Keep E C C S parts and harnesses

FUEL FLOW SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The amount of fuel to be injected is determined by
the injection pulse duration
as well as by a pressure
difference between fuel pressure and intake mani-
fold vacuum pressure. The
E.C C.S. control unit
controls only the injection pulse duration For this
reason,
the pressure difference between the fuel
pressure and intake manifold vacuum pressure
should be maintained
at a constant level Since the
intake manifold vacuum pressure varies with engine
operating conditions,
a pressure regulator IS placed
in the fuel line to regulate the fuel pressure in
response to changes
in the intake manifold vacuum
pressure

E C C.S. CONTROL UNIT
The E C C S control unit consists of a micro-
computer, connectors for signal input and output
and power supply, inspection lamps and diagnostic
mode selector The control unit controls the
amount
of fuel that is injected, ignition timing, idle
speed,
E G R , fuel pump operation, and feedback
of the mixture ratio
SEF611 B
CRANK ANGLE SENSOR
Crank angle sensor is a basic signal sensor for the
entire
E C C S It monitors engine speed and piston
position, and
it sends signals to the E C C S con-
trol unit for control of
fuel injection, ignition
timing, idle speed, fuel pump operation and
E G R
operation.
rnponents
Crank angle sensor has rotor plate and wave form-
ing circuit Rotor plate has
360 slits for 1" signal
(engine speed signal) and
6 slits for 120" signal
(crank angle signal) Light Emitting Diodes
(L
E D ) and Photo Diodes are built into wave
forming circuit
When
signal rotor plate passes the space between
the
L E D and Photo Diode, the slit of the signal
rotor plate alternately cuts the light which
is sent
to
the photo diode from the L E D This causes an
alternative voltage and
it is then converted into an
on-otf pulse by the wave forming circuit, which IS
sent to the control unit

E.C.C.S. Components (Cont’d)
E.G.R. CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE
E G R control solenoid valve cuts intake manifold
vacuum signal for
E G.R control The solenoid
valve actuates in response to the ON/OFF signal
from
the E C.C S control unit. When the solenoid
is off, vacuum signal from intake manifold is fed
into the
E G R control valve As the control
unit outputs an ON signal, the coil pulls the
plunger downward, and cuts the vacuum signal

FUEL PUMP
The fuel pump, which is located in the fuel tank, IS
a wet type pump where the vane rollers are directly
coupled to
a motor which is filled with fuel
1 Outlet A
AIR REGULATOR
Air regulator gives an air by-pass when the engine is
cold for the purpose of a fast idle during warm-up
SE F635 B
A bimetal, heater and rotary shutter are built into
the air regulator When the bimetal temperature
IS
low,
the air by-pass port is open As the engine
starts and electric current flows through a heater,
the bimetal begins to rotate the shutter
to close off
the by-pass port The air passage remalns closed
until the engine
is stopped and the bimetal tem-
perature drops

SELF-DIAGNOSIS
Self-diagni
The self-diagnostic system determines malfunctions
of signal systems such as sensors, actuators, and
wire harnesses based on the status of the input
signals received by the
E C C S control unit
A malfunction is displayed by both the red and
green
L E D s (Light Emitting Diodes).
Basically, self-diagnosis
is always performed when
the power
is furnished to the E C C S control
unit The self-diagnosis results
are retained in the
memory chip of the
E C C S control unit and are
displayed only when the diagnosis mode selector
(located on
the side of the E C C S. control unit) is
turned fully clockwise
The self-diagnostic system
is provided with func-
tions which display malfunctions being checked
as well as those which are stored in the memory
In
this sense, it is very effective in determing an
"intermittent" malfunction The results which
is
or was stored in the memory can be erased by
following the steps specified
A malfunctioning area is determined by the num-
ber of blinks of both the
red and green L E D s
First, the red L E D blinks and the green follows
The red L E D refers to the tenth digit while the
green
one refers to the unit digit. For example,
when the red L
E D. blinks three times and the
green
L E.D blinks twice, this implies number
"32" In this way, all problems are classified by
code numbers.

Judging the selfdiagnosis results
1 When the ignition switch is turned "ON",
the diagnostic system judges
a malfunction
tic System
until the specified input signal is entered and
detected
as 0 K
(These input signals are not stored in the
memory
)
1) Vehicle speed sensor circuit (VG30ET engine)
When the vehicle speed exceeds
10 km/h
(6 MPH) and its corresponding signal is entered
2) Throttle valve switch (idle switch) circuit,
neutral switch circuit (VG30ET engine) and
air
conditioner switch circuit
After the ignition switch
is turned "ON" and
"ON-OFF"
signals from each switch are
entered
3) Start signal
After the engine has started and when start
signals "ON" and then "OFF" are entered
2 After the self-diagnostic system has detected
a malfunction, it continues to provide a mal-
function display until the memory
is erased
properly by the sepcified steps
1) Crank angle sensor circuit
When 1" or 120" signal is not entered after
the engine has started
When either 1" or 120" signal is not entered
often enough
2) Air flow meter circuit
When the air flow meter produces an abnormal-
ly high output voltage with the engine off
When the air flow meter produces an abnormal-
ly low output voltage with the engine running.
3) Cylinder head temperature sensor circuit
When the cricuit
is shorted or open
4) Ignition signal
When an ignition signal
is not produced on the
primary winding of the ignition coil after
the
engine has started
5) Fuel pump circuit
When current flowing through the E
C C.S
control
unit to drive the fuel pump IS too
small or too large while the engine
is operating.
6) Detonation sensor circuit (VG30ET engine)
When the circuit
is shorted with the engine
operating
at a speed of above 2,000 rpms
When the circuit is shorted or open
7) Fuel temperature sensor circuit
