IGNITION SYSTEM
1. General
A DIS (Direct Ignition System) is used. The DIS improves the ignition timing accuracy, reduces
high-voltage loss, and enhances the overall reliability of the ignition system by eliminating the distributor.
The DIS in this engine is an independent ignition system which has one ignition coil (with igniter) for each
cylinder.
Iridium-tipped spark plugs are used.
2. Spark Plug
Iridium-tipped spark plugs are used to improve ignition performance while maintaining the same durability
of the platinum-tipped spark plugs.

CHARGING SYSTEM
1. Segment Conductor Type Generator
A compact and lightweight segment conductor type generator that generates high amperage output in a
highly efficient manner is used.
This generator has a joined segment conductor system in which multiple segment conductors are welded
together to form the stator. Compared to the conventional winding system, the electrical resistance is
reduced due to the shape of the segment conductors, and their arrangement helps to make the generator
compact.

2. Generator Pulley
A helical coil type one-way clutch is used on the generator pulley in order to reduce the load that acts on
the auxiliary equipment belt.
The pulley mounting nut and the generator pulley have been integrated to achieve a compact construction.

STARTING SYSTEM
1. General
A compact and lightweight PS (Planetary reduction-Segment conductor motor) type starter is used.
Because the PS type starter contains an armature that uses square-shaped conductors, and its surface
functions as a commutator, it has resulted in both improving its output torque and reducing its overall
length.
In place of the field coil used in the conventional type starter, the PS type starter uses two types of
permanent magnets: main magnets and interpolar magnets. The main magnets and interpolar magnets
have been efficiently arranged to increase the magnetic flux and to shorten the length of the yoke.

2. Construction
Instead of constructing the armature coil with conventional type round-shaped conductor wires, the PS
type starter uses square conductors. With this type of construction, the same conditions that are realized
by winding numerous round-shaped conductor wires can be achieved without increasing the mass. As a
result, the output torque has been increased, and the armature coil has been made more compact.
Because the surface of the square-shaped conductors that are used in the armature coil functions as a
commutator, the overall length of the PS type starter has been shortened.
Instead of the field coils used in the conventional type starter, the PS type starter uses two types of
permanent magnets: the main magnets and the interpolar magnets. The main and interpolar magnets are
arranged alternately inside the yoke, allowing the magnetic flux that is generated between the main and
interpolar magnets to be added to the magnetic flux that is generated by the main magnets.
In addition to increasing the amount of magnetic flux, this construction shortens the overall length of the
yoke.

SERPENTINE BELT DRIVE SYSTEM
1. General
Accessory components are driven by a serpentine belt consisting of a single V-ribbed belt. It reduces the
overall engine length, weight and the number of engine parts.
An automatic tensioner eliminates the need for tension adjustment.
2. Automatic Tensioner
The automatic tensioner consists of an idler pulley and a tensioner. The idler pulley maintains belt tension
by the force of the spring that is located in the tensioner.

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
1. General
The engine control system for the 2AZ-FE engine has the following systems.
System
Outline
SFI
Sequential Multiport
Fuel InjectionAn L-type SFI system directly detects the intake air volume with a hot-wire
type mass air flow meter.
The fuel injection system is a sequential multiport fuel injection system.
ESA
Electronic Spark
AdvanceIgnition timing is determined by the ECM based on signals from various sensors.
The ECM corrects ignition timing in response to engine knocking.
ETCS-i
Electronic
Optimally controls the throttle valve opening in accordance with the amount of
accelerator pedal effort and the condition of the engine and the vehicle.
Electronic
Throttle Control
System-intelligent
(See page-43)A linkless-type is used, without an accelerator cable.
An accelerator pedal position sensor is provided on the accelerator pedal.
A non-contact type throttle position sensor and accelerator pedal position
sensor are used.
VVT-i
Va r i a b l e Va l v e
Timing-intelligent
(See page EG-48)
Controls the intake camshaft to an optimal valve timing in accordance with the
engine condition.
Air-fuel Ratio
Sensor, Oxygen
Sensor Heater
ControlMaintains the temperature of the air-fuel ratio sensor or oxygen sensor at an
appropriate level to realize accuracy of detection of the oxygen concentration in
the exhaust gas.
Air Conditioning
Cut-off ControlBy turning the air conditioning compressor ON or OFF in accordance with the
engine condition, drivability is maintained.
Cooling Fan Control
(See page EG-52)Radiator cooling fan operation is controlled by signals from ECM based on the
engine coolant temperature sensor signal and the condition of the air
conditioning operation.
Fuel Pump Control
(See page EG-53)Fuel pump operation is controlled by signal from the ECM.
The fuel pump is stopped when the SRS driver’s and front passenger’s airbags
are deployed.
Evapotative Emission
The ECM controls the purge flow of evaporative emissions (HC) in the canister
in accordance with engine conditions.
Evapotative Emission
Control
(See page EG-54)Approximately five hours after the ignition switch has been turned OFF, the
ECM operates the canister pump module to detect any evaporative emission
leakage occurring in the EVAP (evaporative emission) control system through
changes in the 0.02 in. leak pressure.
Charging Control
(See page EG-65)The ECM regulates the charging voltage of the generator in accordance with the
driving conditions and the charging state of the battery.
