1. FUEL SYSTEM SPECIFICATION
Use Only Unleaded Fuel Rated at 89 Octane or Higher ▶
Fuel quality and additives contained in fuel have a significant effect on power output, drivability,
and life of theengine. Fuel with too low an octane number can cause engine knock.
Do Not Use Methanol ▶
Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol) should not be used in vehicle.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle performance and damage components of the fuel system.
Vehicle Fueling from Drums or Storage Containers ▶
For safety reasons (particularly when using noncommercial fueling systems) fuel containers,
pumps and hoses must be properly earthed. Static electricity build up can occur under certain
atmospheric and fuel flow conditions if unearthed hoses, particularly plastic, are fitted to the fuel-
dispensing pump.
It is therefore recommended that earthed pumps with integrally earthed hoses be used, and that
storage containers be properly earthed during all noncommercial fueling operations.

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The cooling system maintains the engine temperature at an efficient level during all engine
operating conditions. When the engine is cold, the cooling system cools the engine slowly or not
at all. This slow cooling of the engine allows the engine to warm up quickly. The cooling system
includes a radiator and recovery subsystem, cooling fans, a thermostat and housing, a water
pump, and a water pump drive belt. The timing belt drives the water pump. All components must
function properly for the cooling system to operation. The water pump draws the coolant from the
radiator.
The coolant then circulates through water jackets in the engine block, the intake manifold, and
the cylinder head. When the coolant reaches the operating temperature of the thermostat, the
thermostat opens. The coolant then goes back to the radiator where it cools. This system directs
some coolant through the hoses to the heat core. This provides for heating and defrosting. The
coolant reservoir is connected to the radiator to recover the coolant displaced by expansion from
the high temperatures. The coolant reservoir maintains the correct coolant level. The cooling
system for this vehicle has no radiator cap or filler neck. The coolant is added to the cooling
system through the coolant reservoir.

1. CHARGING SYSTEM OPERATION
Alternators use a new type of regulator that incorpo-rates a diode trio. A Delta stator, a rectifier
bridge, and a rotor with slip rings and brushes are electrically similar to earlier alternators.
A conventional pulley and fan are used. There is no test hole.
1) Charging Time Required
The time required to charge a battery will vary depending upon the following factors:
Size of Battery ▶
A Completely discharged large heavy-duty battery required more than twice the
recharging time as a completely discharged small passenger car battery. -
Temperature ▶
A longer time will be needed to charge any battery at -18°C (0°F) than at 27°C (80°F).
When a fast charger is connected to a cold battery, the current accepted by the battery
will be very low at first. The battery will accept a higher current rate as the battery warms. -
Charger Capacity ▶
A charger which can supply only 5 amperes will require a much longer charging period
than a charger that can supply 30 amperes or more. -
State-of-Charge ▶
A completely discharged battery requires more than twice as much charge as a onehalf
charged battery. Because the electrolyte is nearly pure water and a poor conductor in a
completely discharged battery, the current accepted by the battery is very low at first.
Later, as the charging current causes the electrolyte acid content to increase, the charging
current will likewise increase. -
2. STARTING SYSTEM OPERATION
The engine electrical system includes the battery, the ignition, the starter, the alternator, and all
the related wiring. Diagnostic tables will aid in troubleshooting system faults. When a fault is
traced to a particular component, refer to that component section of the service manual. The
starting system circuit consists of the battery, the starter motor, the ignition switch, and all the
related electrical wiring. All of these components are connected electrically.

3. IGNITION SYSTEM OPERATION
This ignition system does not use a conventional distributor and coil. It uses a crankshaft position
sensor input to the Engine Control Module (ECM).
The ECM then determines Electronic Spark Timing (EST) and triggers the electronic ignition
system ignition coil.
This type of distributorless ignition system uses a "waste spark" method of spark distribution.
Each cylinder is paired with the cylinder that is opposite it (2.3L DOHC: 2 - 3 or 1 - 4, 3.2L
DOHC: 1 - 6 or 2 - 5 or 3 - 4).
The spark occurs simultaneously in the cylinder coming up on the compression stroke and in the
cylinder coming up on the exhaust stroke.
The cylinder on the exhaust stroke requires very little of the available energy to fire the spark plug.
The remaining energy is available to the spark plug in the cylinder on the compression stroke.
These systems use the EST signal from the ECM to control the EST.
The ECM uses the following information: Engine load (mass air flow sensor, manifold air pressure
sensor).
Engine coolant temperature.
Intake air temperature.
Crankshaft position.
Engine speed (rpm).
1) Electronic Ignition System Ignition Coil
The Electronic Ignition (EI) system ignition coil is located on the cylinder head cover.
The double ended coils re ceive the signal for the ECM which controls the spark advance.
Each EI system ignition coil provides the high voltage to two spark plugs simultaneously;
3.2L DOHC
T1/1: cylinder 2 and 5
T1/2: cylinder 3 and 4
T1/3: cylinder 1 and 6
The EI system ignition coil is not serviceable and must be replaced as an assembly.

2. CONFIGURATION
1) Circuit Diagram
The engine ECU detects the operating conditions of cruise control system, and monitors the
braking performance, vehicle speed, road conditions and ESP system operation. If the engine
ECU determines that there are not any problem to drive in cruise control mode, the vehicle can be
operated by cruise switch signals (decelerating, accelerating, cruising).

10-12
Do not move the shift lever to Neutral position while driving with the cruise control turned on.
Otherwise, it may result in system malfunction or accidents.
Always be prepared to use the brake or accelerator pedal for safe driving while the cruise
control system is running.
The actual speed can be different from the set speed momentarily when driving on a uphill
or downhill. So, it is recommended to disable the cruise control function on a uphill or
downhill. hen driving on a steep hill use the engine brake and foot brake properly to protect
the vehicle system and for a safe driving.
Ensure that the safe distance is maintained and use the brake pedal if needed. 1.

(1) Abnormal Cancellation of the Cruise Control
When the rapid deceleration is applied without braking.
When the rapid acceleration is applied without acceleration pedal intervention.
When the cruise control lever is faulty.
When the brake switch and the brake light switch input signal are implausible. 1.

3.
When the cruise control function is cancelled abnormally or intermittent problems occur, stop the
vehicle and turn off the ignition switch and remove the key to reset the system. After a while, turn
on the ignition switch again to operate the cruise control system.

2. CHECKING CABLES AND WIRES
Check for loose connection or rust.
Check terminals and wires for corrosion due to electrolyte leakage.
Check terminals and wires for open circuit.
Check the wire insulation and coat for damage, cracks or deterioration.
Check if the conductive parts of the terminals do not contact with vehicle body or other metal
parts.
Check that the grounding part has continuity with mounting bolts and vehicle body.
Check that wires are properly routed.
Make sure that wires are securely fixed to avoid contact with sharp body parts and
hightemperature
parts, such as the exhaust manifold and exhaust pipes.
The rotating parts, such as fan pulley and fan belt, perturbative parts and wiring should be
secured tightly at regular intervals.
Secure the wiring between the fixed parts, such as the vehicle body, and vibrating parts, such
as the engine, after slackening it slightly to prevent it from being damaged. -
