2. Oil Pump
A compact cycloid rotor type oil pump directly driven by the crankshaft is used.
This oil pump has used an internal relief method which circulates relief oil to the suction passage in the
oil pump. This aims to minimize oil level change in the oil pan, reduce friction, and reduce air mixing rate
in the oil.
3. Oil Jet
Oil jets for cooling and lubricating the pistons have been provided in the cylinder block, in the center of
the right and left banks.
These oil jets contain a check valve to prevent oil from being fed when the oil pressure is low. This prevents
the overall oil pressure in the engine from dropping.

Service Tip
The engine oil in the oil filter can be drained by removing the drain plug and inserting the drain
pipe supplied with the element into the oil filter. For details, refer to the 2006 RAV4 Repair Manual
(Pub. No. RM01M1U).
The engine oil maintenance interval for a model that has an oil filter with a replaceable element
is the same as that for the conventional model.
EG-87
4. Oil Filter
An oil filter with a replaceable element is used. The element uses a high-performance filter paper to
improve filtration performance. It is also combustible for environmental protection.
An aluminum alloy filter cap is used to extend its life.
This oil filter has a structure which can drain the engine oil remaining in the oil filter. This prevents engine
oil from spattering when replacing the element and allows the technician to work without touching hot
engine oil.

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 is an independent ignition system which has one ignition coil (with igniter) for each cylinder.
2. Ignition Coil
The DIS provides 6 ignition coils, one for each
cylinder. The spark plug cap, which provides
contact to the spark plug, are integrated with an
ignition coil. Also, an igniter is enclosed to
simplify the system.

2. Dual Winding System (For Towing Package Models and Models with RSES)
A dual winding system is used. This system consists of two sets of three-phase windings whose phases are
staggered 30
. Because the generated waves from the respective windings cancel out each other, magnetic
noise is reduced.
3. Generator Pulley
A one-way clutch is set to the generator pulley. Operation of the one-way clutch cancels generator pulley
inertia and helps to prevent slipping of the V-ribbed belt. This realizes a low tension V-ribbed belt that
achieves reduced friction.

2) MRE Type VVT Sensor
The MRE type VVT sensor consists of an MRE, a magnet and a sensor. The direction of the magnetic
field changes due to the different shapes (protruded and non-protruded portions) of the timing rotor,
which passes by the sensor. As a result, the resistance of the MRE changes, and the output voltage to
the ECM changes to Hi or Lo. The ECM detects the camshaft position based on this output voltage.
The differences between the MRE type VVT sensor and the pick-up coil type VVT sensor used on
the conventional models are as follows.
ItemSensor TypeItemMREPick-up Coil
Signal OutputConstant digital output starts from
low engine speeds.Analog output changes with the
engine speed.
Camshaft Position
Detection
Detection is made by comparing
the NE signals with the Hi / Lo
output switch timing due to the
protruded / non-protruded portions
of the timing rotor, or made based
on the number of the input NE
signals during Hi / Lo outputs.
Detection is made by comparing
the NE signals with the change of
waveform that is output when the
protruded portion of the timing
rotor passes.
