1-6 EFI SYSTEM - System Description
‘he .EFI system is composed of 3 basic sub
;ystems; Fuel Induction, Air Induction and
Ziectronic Control.
FUEL SYSTEM
An electric fuel pump supplies sufficient fuel,
under a constant pressure, to the injectors. These
injectors inject a metered quantity of fuel into the
intake manifold in accordance with signals from
the ECU (Electronic Control Unit).
AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
The air induction system provides sufficient air for
engine operation.
[3: ‘I
i&TRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
The 7M-GE, 7M-GTE engines are equipped wifh a
Toyota Computer Control System (TCCS) which
centrally controls the EFI, ESA, Diagnosis systems,
etc. by means of an Electronic Control Unit (ECU -
for-merly EFI computer) employing a microcom-
puter.
By means of the ECU, the TCCS controls the
following functions:
1. Electronic Fuel injection (EFI)
The ECU receivers signals from,various sen-
sors indicating changing engine operating
conditions such as:
Exhaust oxygen content (w/ TWC)
Intake air volume
i Intake air temperature
Coolant temperature
Engine rpm
Vehicle speed
Acceleration/deceleration etc.
These 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 func-
tions (rpm, A/C signal, coolant temperature,
etc.), the microcomputer (ECU) triggers the
spark at precisely the right instant. (See IG
section) 3. Idle Speed Control (IX)
The ECU is programmed with, target idling
speed values to respond to different engine
conditions (coolant temperature, air condi-
tioner on/off, etc.). Sensors transmit signals
to the ECU which control the flow of air
through the bypass of the throttle valve and
adjust idle speed to the target value.
(See pages FI-53, 7 1, 108) ’
4. Diagnosis
The ECU detects any malfunctions or abnor-
malities in the sensor network and tights the
“CHECK ENGINE” warning light on the instru-
ment panel. At the same time, the trouble is
identified and a diagnostic code is recorded
by the ECU.
5. Fail-Safe Function ’
In the event of computer malfunction, a back-
up circuit will take over to provide minimal
drivability. Simultaneously, the “CHECK
ENGINE” warning light will come on.

PRECAUTIONS
._
1. Before working on the fuel system, disconnect the
negative terminal from the battery.
NOTE: Any diagnosis code retained by the computer will
be erased when the battery terminal is removed.
Therefore, if necessary, read the diagnosis before
removimg the battery terminal.
2. Do not smoke or work near an open flame when work-
ing on the fuel system.
3. Keep gasoline off rubber or leather parts.
INSPECTION PRECAUTl.ONS
MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
1. INSURE CORRECT ENGINE TUNE-UP
2. PRECAUTIONS WHEN CONNECTING GAUGE
(a) Connect the tachometer test probe to the terminal
IGO of check connector.
CHECK CONNECTOR LOCATION:
See pages FI-110, 111
(b) Use the battery as the power source for the timing
light, tachometer, etc.
3. IN EVENT OF ENGINE MISFIRE FOLLOWING
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN
(a) Insure proper connection of battery terminals, etc.
(b) Handle high tension cords carefully.
(c) After repair work, insure that the ignition coil ter-
minals and all other ignition system lines are recon-
nected securely.
(d) When cleaning the engine compartment, be especial-
ly careful to protect the electrical system from water.
4. PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING OXYGEN SENSOR
(w/ TWCI
(a) Do not allow oxygen sensor to drop or hit against an
object.
(b) Do not allow water to come into contact with the
sensor or attempt to cool it.

3. Before removing EFI wiring connectors, terminals, etc.,
first disconnect-the power-by either turning the ignition
switch OFF or disconnecting the battery terminals.
When installing a battery, be especially careful not to
incorrectly connect the positive and negative cables.
Do not permit parts to receive a severe impact during
removal or installation. Handle all EEI parts carefully.
especially the ECU.
4. Do not be careless during troubleshooting as there are
numerous transistor circuits and even slight terminal con-
tact can cause further troubles.
5.
6. Do not open the ECU cover.
When inspecting during rainy weather, take care to pre-
vent entry of water. Also, when washing the engine com-
.partment, prevent water from getting on the EFI parts and
wiring connectors.
7. Parts should be replaced as an assembly.
8. Care is required when pulling out the inserting wiring con-
nectors.
(a) Release the lock and pull out the connector, pulling
on the connectors. .
(b) Fully insert the connector and insure that it is locked.
9. When inspecting a connector with a circuit tester.
(a) Carefully take out the water-proofing rubber if it is a
water-proof type connector.

5. Observe the fo!lowing’ precautions when removing and
installing the injectors.
(a) Never reuse a O-ring.
(b) When placing an O-ring on the injector, use care care
not to damage it in any way.
(c) Lubricate the O-ring with spindle oil or gasoline
before installing - never use engine, gear or brake oil.
Install the injector to the delivery pipe and cylinder head as
shown in the figure.
‘NOTE: Install the spacer with the black ring side facing
upward.
Check that there are no fuel leaks after performing any
maintenance on the fuel system.
(a) With engine stopped, turn the ignition switch ON.
(b) Short circuit the fuel pump check terminal +B and FP
of the check connector with the service wire.
CHECK CONNECTOR LOCATION:
See pages FI-110, 111
(c) When the fuel return hose is pinched, the pressure
within the high pressure line will rise to about 4 kg/
cm (57 psi, 392 kPa). In this state, check to see that
there are no leaks from any part of the fuel system.
CAUTION: Always pinch the hose. Avoid bending as
it may cause the hose to crack.

2. The most frequent cause of problems is simply a bad don-
tact in wiring connectors. Always make sure that connec-
tions are secure.
When inspecting the connector, pay particular attention to
the following points:
(a) Check to see that the terminals are not bent.
(b) Check to see that the connector is pushed in com-
pletely and locked.
(c) Check to see that there is no signal change when the
connector is slightly tapped or wiggled.
3. Sufficiently troubleshoot for other causes before replac-
ing the ECU. The ECU is of high quality and it is expensive.
