fuel TOYOTA CAMRY V20 1986 Service Information

(e) Tighten the O±ring fittings or the bolted type fittings to
the specified torque.
4. WHEN CONNECTING MANIFOLD GAUGE;
(a) Be sure to connect the charging hose end with a pin
to the compressor charging valve.
(b) The letter ºDº engraved near the compressor service
valve indicates the high pressure side, and ºSº indi-
cates the low pressure side. Pay careful attention
when connecting the hose.
(c) Tighten hose by hand.
(d) To prevent loosening of connected hose, do not apply
drops of compressor oil to the seat of connection.
HINT: After connecting the manifold gauge and the refrig±
erant container (service can), discharge any air in the
hoses.
5. WHEN EVACUATING;
Approx. 15 minutes after removal, check the system for
leaks, then take at least another 15 minutes to make sure
the air is fully removed.
6. WHEN HANDLING REFRIGERANT CONTAINER
(SERVICE CAN);
(a) Must never be heated.
(b) Must be kept below 4

°C (1 04°F).
(c) If warming service can with hot water, be careful that
the valve on top of the service can is never immersed
in the water, as the water may permeate into the refrig-
erant cycle.
(d) Empty service cans must never be re±used.
7. WHEN A/C IS ON AND REFRIGERANT GAS IS
BEING REPLENISHED;
(a) If there is not enough refrigerant gas in the refrigerant
cycle, oil lubrication becomes insufficient and com-
pressor burnout may occur, so take care to avoid this.
(b) If the valve on the high pressure side is opened, refrig-
erant flows in reverse and causes the service can to
rupture, so only open and close the vlave on the low
pressure side.
(c) If the service can is inverted and refrigerant is inserted
in a liquid state, the liquid is compressed and the com-
pressor brakes down, so the refrigerant must be in-
serted in a g¿¿seous state.
(d) Be careful not to insert too much refrigerant gas, as
this causes trouble such as inadequate cooling, poor
fuel economy, engine overheat, etc.
8. WHEN USING GAS±CYLINDER TYPE LEAK
DETECTION INSTRUMENT;
(a) As a naked flame is used, first make sure that there are
no flammable substances nearby before using it.
(b) Be careful, as poisonous gas is produced when
refrigerant gas comes in contact with heat parts.

A140E Automatic Transaxle (ECT)
WHAT IS THE ECT?
ECT means Electronic Controlled Transaxle. The hydraulic control system of the previous automatic
transaxle has been changed, the throttle and governor pressure have been replaced by electronic
signals and a micro computer has been used to give precise control of shift timing and lock±up tim-
ing.
FEATURES OF THE ECT
(a) The shift pattern can be chosen.
In the ECT ECU micro computer used in the A140E, two types of shift pattern, Power and Normal,
are recorded in the memory. By operating the pattern select switch, the driver can select the pre-
ferred shift pattern.
(b) Reduced fuel consumption and reduced shock during shifting is made possible.
Precise control of the shift timing by the ECT ECU, operation of the lock±up clutch from low speeds,
and decreased fuel consumption are made possible. Also, shock during Shifting is reduced.
(e) Self±Diagnostic System
When a malfunction occurs in the electronic control system, the driver is informed of this fact. Also,
there is a Self±Diagnostic System which displays the location of the malfunction when the service
connector is shorted.
(d) Fail±Safe System
A fail±Safe System is included so that, even if a malfunction occurs in the electronic control system,
the vehicle will be able to operate.
CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION
When the A140E (ECT) is compared with the A140L, the automatic transaxle body has the same
construction and operation, with the exception of the hydraulic control system, as the A140L.
The electronic control system, which controls the shift timing and lock±up timing, has been added.
1. Hydraulic Control System (Comparison with the A140L)
VALVE BODY ± Additions or changes to solenoid valve
In the A140E there are three solenoid valves, the No. 1, the No. 2 and the lock±up solenoid valves.
Shifting occurs according to whether the No. 1 and No. 2 solenoid valves are ON or OFF, and the
lock±up solenoid valve controls the lock±up clutch.
GOVERNOR VALVE ± Removed
With the A140E, the governor valve has been replaced with a speed sensor, so that instead of the
governor pressure, a speed sensor signal is sent to the ECT ECU.
SHIFT CONTROL IN ECT
1. The vehicle speed is sensed by the vehicle speed
sensor, which sends this data to the
ECU in the form of electrical signals.
2. The angle to which the throttle is open is sensed
by the throttle position sensor, which sends this
data to the ECU in the form of electrical signals.
3. The ECT computer determines the shift point on
the basis of these two signals and operates the
solenoid valves in the hydraulic control unit, thus
shifting the transmission.

gauge needle moves to EMPTY.
(e) Connect the terminals 3 and 4 on the wire harness
side connector through a 3.4W test bulb, check that
the bulb lights and receiver gauge needle moves to-
wards the full side.
HINT: Because of the silicon oil in the gauge, it will take

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.

PRECAUTIONS
1. Before working the fuel system, disconnect the cable
from negative (±) terminal of the battery.
HINT: Any diagnostic code retained by the computer will be erased
when the battery terminal is removed. Therefore, if necessary, read
the diagnosis before removing the battery terminal.
2. Do not smoke or work open flame when working the fuel system.
3. Keep gasoline off rubber or leather parts.
INSPECTION PRECAUTIONS
MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
1. CHECK CORRECT ENGINE TUNE±UP

2. PRECAUTIONS WHEN CONNECTING GAUGE
(a) Use the battery as the power source for the timing light, tachome-
ter, etc.
(b) (3S±FE)
Connect the test probe of a tachometer to the service
connector of the distributor.
(c) (2VZ±FE)
Connect the test probe of a tachometer to the terminal
IG ± of the check connector.
3. IN EVENT OF ENGINE MISFIRE FOLLOWING
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN
(a) Check proper connection of battery terminals, etc.
(b) Handle high±tension cords carefully.
(c) After repair work, check that the ignition coil terminals and
all other ignition system lines are reconnected securely.
(d) When cleaning the engine compartment, be especially
careful to protect the electrical system from water.
4. PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING OXYGEN
SENSOR(S)
(a) Do not allow the oxygen sensor to drop or hit against an ob-
ject.
(b) Do not allow the sensor to come into contact with water.
