Fuel Injection System
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Three types of fuel injection control are provided to accommodate engine operating conditions; normal control,
idle control and start control. The ECM determines the appropriate fuel injection control. Under each control,
the amount of fuel injected is compensated to improve engine performance. The ECM performs duty control
on the electric governor (built into the fuel injection pump) according to sensor signals to compensate the
amount of fuel injected to the preset value.

When the ECM receives a start signal from the ignition switch, the
ECM adapts the fuel injection system for the start control. The
amount of fuel injected at engine starting is a preset program value
in the ECM. The program is determined by the engine speed and
engine coolant temperature.
For better startability under cool engine conditions, the lower the
coolant temperature becomes, the greater the amount of fuel
injected. The ECM ends the start control when the engine speed
reaches 400 rpm (for M/T models), 600 rpm (for A/T models) and
shifts the control to the normal or idle control.

When the ECM determines that the engine speed is at idle, the fuel injection system is adapted for the idle
control. The ECM regulates the amount of fuel injected corresponding to changes in load applied to the engine
to keep engine speed constant. The ECM also provides the system with a fast idle control in response to the
engine coolant temperature and heat up switch signal.

The amount of fuel injected under normal driving conditions is
determined according to sensor signals. The crankshaft position
sensor (TDC) detects engine speed and the accelerator position
sensor detects accelerator position. These sensors send signals to
the ECM.
The fuel injection data, predetermined by correlation between vari-
ous engine speeds and accelerator positions, are stored in the
ECM memory, forming a map. The ECM determines the optimal
amount of fuel to be injected using the sensor signals in compari-
son with the map.

The amount of fuel leaking at or around high-pressure parts inside fuel injection pump varies with fuel tem-
perature and engine speed. This will result in a difference between the target amount of fuel injected and the
actual amount. The ECM compensates for the actual amount depending on the signal from the fuel tempera-
ture sensor which detects fuel temperature.

If the engine speed is above 3,000 rpm with no load (for example,
in neutral and engine speed over 3,000 rpm) fuel will be cut off after
some time. The exact time when the fuel is cut off varies based on
engine speed.
Fuel cut will operate until the engine speed reaches 1,500 rpm,
then fuel cut is cancelled.
NOTE:
This function is different from deceleration control and fuel cut
solenoid valve control listed under ``Fuel Injection System'',
EC-15 and ``TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR DTC 36, 37, 38'',
EC-130.

REAL TIME DIAGNOSIS IN DATA MONITOR MODE
CONSULT has two kinds of triggers and they can be selected by touching ``SETTING'' in ``DATA MONITOR''
mode.
1. ``AUTO TRIG'' (Automatic trigger):
+The malfunction will be identi®ed on the CONSULT screen in real time.
In other words, the malfunction item will be displayed at the moment the malfunction is detected by
ECM.
DATA MONITOR can be performed continuously until a malfunction is detected. However, DATA
MONITOR cannot continue any longer after the malfunction detection.
2. ``MANU TRIG'' (Manual trigger):
+The malfunction item will not be displayed automatically on CONSULT screen even though a malfunc-
tion is detected by ECM.
DATA MONITOR can be performed continuously even though a malfunction is detected.
Use these triggers as follows:
1. ``AUTO TRIG''
+While trying to detect the DTC by performing the ``DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE'', be sure to
select to ``DATA MONITOR (AUTO TRIG)'' mode. You can con®rm the malfunction at the moment it is
detected.
+While narrowing down the possible causes, CONSULT should be set in ``DATA MONITOR (AUTO
TRIG)'' mode, especially in case the incident is intermittent.
Inspect the circuit by gently shaking (or twisting) suspicious connectors, components and harness in
the ``DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE''. The moment a malfunction is found the malfunction item
will be displayed. (Refer to GI section, ``Incident Simulation Tests'' in ``HOW TO PERFORM EFFICIENT
DIAGNOSIS FOR AN ELECTRICAL INCIDENT''.)
2. ``MANU TRIG''
+If the malfunction is displayed as soon as ``DATA MONITOR'' is selected, reset CONSULT to ``MANU
TRIG''. By selecting ``MANU TRIG'' you can monitor and store the data. The data can be utilized for
further diagnosis, such as a comparison with the value for the normal operating condition.

Introduction
The engine has an ECM to control major systems such as fuel
injection control, fuel injection timing control, glow control system,
etc. The ECM accepts input signals from sensors and instantly
drives electronic fuel injection pump. It is essential that both input
and output signals are proper and stable. At the same time, it is
important that there are no problems such as vacuum leaks, or
other problems with the engine.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a problem that occurs intermit-
tently rather than continuously. Most intermittent problems are
caused by poor electric connections or improper wiring. In this
case, careful checking of suspected circuits may help prevent the
replacement of good parts.
A visual check only may not ®nd the cause of the problems. A road
test with CONSULT or a circuit tester connected should be per-
formed. Follow the ``Work Flow'', EC-44.
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with a driveability complaint. The cus-
tomer can supply good information about such problems, especially
intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present and under
what conditions they occur. A ``Diagnostic Worksheet'' like the
example on next page should be used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for ``conventional'' problems ®rst.
This will help troubleshoot driveability problems on an electronically
controlled engine vehicle.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS Ð Work Flow
EC-44

Description for Work Flow
STEP DESCRIPTION
STEP IGet detailed information about the conditions and the environment when the incident/symptom occurred using the
``DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET'' as shown on EC-43.
STEP IIBefore con®rming the concern, check and write down (print out using CONSULT) the Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC), then erase the code. Refer to EC-30.
Study the relationship between the cause, speci®ed by DTC, and the symptom described by the customer. (The
``Symptom Matrix Chart'' will be useful. Refer to EC-48.)
STEP IIITry to con®rm the symptom and under what conditions the incident occurs.
The ``DIAGNOSTIC WORK SHEET'' is useful to verify the incident. Connect CONSULT to the vehicle in DATA
MONITOR (AUTO TRIG) mode and check real time diagnosis results.
If the incident cannot be veri®ed, perform INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS. Refer to GI section.
If the malfunction code is detected, skip STEP IV and perform STEP V.
STEP IVTry to detect the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) by driving in (or performing) the ``DTC CONFIRMATION PROCE-
DURE''. Check and read the DTC by using CONSULT.
During the DTC veri®cation, be sure to connect CONSULT to the vehicle in DATA MONITOR (AUTO TRIG) mode
and check real time diagnosis results.
If the incident cannot be veri®ed, perform INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS. Refer to GI section.
In case the ``DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE'' is not available, perform the ``OVERALL FUNCTION CHECK''
instead. The DTC cannot be displayed by this check, however, this simpli®ed ``check'' is an effective alternative.
The ``NG'' result of the ``OVERALL FUNCTION CHECK'' is the same as the DTC detection.
STEP VTake the appropriate action based on the results of STEP I through IV.
If the malfunction code is indicated, proceed to TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR DTC XX.
If the normal code is indicated, proceed to the BASIC INSPECTION. Refer to EC-46. Then perform inspections
according to the Symptom Matrix Chart. Refer to EC-48.
STEP VIIdentify where to begin diagnosis based on the relationship study between symptom and possible causes. Inspect
the system for mechanical binding, loose connectors or wiring damage using (tracing) ``Harness Layouts''.
Gently shake the related connectors, components or wiring harness with CONSULT set in ``DATA MONITOR
(AUTO TRIG)'' mode.
Check the voltage of the related ECM terminals or monitor the output data from the related sensors with CON-
SULT. Refer to EC-54.
The ``DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE'' in EC section contains a description based on open circuit inspection. A short
circuit inspection is also required for the circuit check in the DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE. For details, refer to GI
section (``Circuit Inspection'', ``HOW TO PERFORM EFFICIENT DIAGNOSIS FOR AN ELECTRICAL INCIDENT'').
Repair or replace the malfunction parts.
STEP VIIOnce you have repaired the circuit or replaced a component, you need to run the engine in the same conditions
and circumstances which resulted in the customer's initial complaint.
Perform the ``DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE'' and con®rm the normal code (Diagnostic trouble code No. 55)
is detected. If the incident is still detected in the ®nal check, perform STEP VI by using a different method from the
previous one.
Before returning the vehicle to the customer, be sure to erase the unnecessary (already ®xed) DTC in ECM. (Refer
to EC-30.)
