NOTICE: Do not overfill.
(d) Check for water leaks.
HINT: On radiators with resin tanks, there is a clearance
between the core plate and tank plate where a minute
amount of air will remain, giving the appearance of an
air leak when the radiator is submerged in water. There-
fore, before performing the water leak test, first switch
the radiator around in the water until all air bubbles dis-
appear.
7. PAINT TANK PLATE
HINT: If the water leak test checks out okay, allow the radia-
tor to completely dry and then paint the tank plate.

± COOLING SYSTEMElectric Cooling Fans (2VZ±FE)CO±25

The ER system is composed of there basic sub±systems: Fuel, Air Induction and Electronic Control Systems.
FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel is supplied under constant pressure to the EFI injectors by an electric fuel pump. The injectors inject a
metered quantity of fuel into the intake manifold in a accordance with signals from the ECU (Electronic Control
Unit).
AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
The air induction system provides sufficient air for engine operation.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
The Camry 3S±FE and 2V1±FE engines are equipped with a Toyota Computer Control System (TCCS) which
centrally controls the EFI, ESA, ISC, Diagnosis systems etc. by means of an Electronic Control Unit (ECU±
formerly ER computer) employing a microcomputer.
By means of the ECU, the TCCS controls the following functions:
1. Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)
The ECU receives signals from various sensors indicating changing engine operation conditions such as:
Intake air volume
Intake air temperature
Coolant temperature
Engine rpm
Acceleration/deceleration
Exhaust oxygen content etc.
The signals are utilized by the ECU to determine the injection duration necessary for an optimum air±fuel ratio.
2. Electronic Spark Advance (ESA)
The ECU is programmed with data for optimum ignition timing under any and all operating conditions.
Using data provided by sensors which monitor various engine functions (rpm, coolant temperature, etc.), the
microcomputer (ECU) triggers the spark at precisely the right instant. (See IG section)
3. Idle Speed Control (ISC)
The ECU is programmed with target idling speed values to respond to different engine conditions (coolant
temperature, air conditioner ON/OFF, etc.). Sensors transmit signals to the ECU which control the flow of air
through the by±pass of the throttle valve and adjust idle speed to the target value. (See page FI±45,115
or 62, 117)
4. Diagnosis
The ECU detects any malfunctions or abnormalities in the sensor network and lights a ºCHECKº engine warn-
ing light on the instrument panel. At the same time, the trouble is identified and a diagnosis code is recorded
by the ECU. The diagnosis code can be read by the number of blinks of the ºCHECKº engine warning light
when terminals TE1 and E1 are connected. The diagnostic codes are refer to the later page.
(See page FI±25 or 27)
5. Fail±safe Function
In the event of the sensor malfunctioning, a back±up circuit will take over to provide minimal drivability, and
the ºCHECKº engine warning light.

± EFI SYSTEMInspection PrecautionsFI±5

IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE
RADIO SYSTEM (HAM, CB, ETC.)
The ECU has been designed so that it will not be affected ±by out-
side interference.
However, if your vehicle is equipped with a CB radio transceiver,
etc. (even one with about 10 W output), it may, at times, have an
affect upon ECU operation, especially if the antenna and feeder are
installed nearby.
Therefore, observe the following precautions:
1. Install the antenna as far as possible from the ECU. The
ECU is located under the radio so the antenna should be installed
at the rear side of the vehicle.
2. Keep the antenna feeder as far away as possible from the
ECU wires ± at least 20 cm (7.87 in.) ± and, especially, do not wind
them together.
3. Check that the feeder and antenna are properly adjusted.
4. Do not equip your± vehicle with a powerful mobile radio system.
5. Do not open the cover or the case of the ECU unless absolutely nec-
essary. (If the IC terminals are touched, the IC
may be destroyed by static electricity.)
AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
1. Separation of the engine oil dipstick, oil filler cap, PCV hose,
etc. may cause the engine to run out¿¿ tune.
2. Disconnection, looseness or cracks in the parts of the air
induction system between the throttle body and cylinder
head will allow air suction and cause the engine to run out of tune.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
1. Before removing EFI wiring connectors, terminals, etc., first discon-
nect the power by either turning the ignition switch
OFF or disconnecting the battery terminals.
2. When installing the battery, be especially careful not to
incorrectly connect the positive (+) and negative (±) cables.
3. Do not permit parts to receive a severe impact during removal or
installation. Handle all EFI parts carefully, especially the ECU.
4. Do not be careless during troubleshooting as there are numerous
transistor circuits and even slight terminal contact can cause fur-
ther troubles.
5. Do not open the ECU cover.
6. When inspecting during rainy weather, take care to prevent
entry of water. Also, when washing the engine compartment, pre-
vent water from getting on the ER parts and wiring connectors.
7. Parts should be replaced as an assembly.
