1. General
The engine control system for the 2AZ-FE engine has following system.
System Outline
D An L-type EFI system directly detects the intake air volume with
EFI a hot-wire type air flow meter.
(Electronic Fuel Injection) D The fuel injection system is a sequential multiport fuel injection
system.
Ignition timing is determined by the engine ECU based on signals
ESA
from various sensors. The engine ECU corrects ignition timing in
(Electronic Spark Advance)
response to engine knocking.
ISC
A rotary solenoid type ISC valve controls the fast idle and idle speeds.
(Idle Speed Control)
VVT-i EG
Controls the intake camshaft to an optimal valve timing in accordance
Variable Valve
with the engine condition. For details, see page 48.
Timing-intelligent
D Fuel pump operation is controlled by signal from the engine ECU.
Fuel Pump Control D To stop the fuel pump while the SRS airbag is in operation.
For details, see page 53.
Air Fuel Ratio Sensor Maintains the temperature of the air fuel ratio sensor (oxygen sensors)
(Oxygen Sensor) at an appropriate level to increase accuracy of detection of the oxygen
Heater Control concentration in the exhaust gas.
The engine ECU controls the purge flow of evaporative emissions

(HC) in the charcoal canister in accordance with engine conditions.
By turning the air conditioner compressor ON or OFF in accordance
Air Conditioner Cut-off Control
with the engine condition, drivability is maintained.
Radiator cooling fan operation is controlled by water temperature
Cooling Fan Control sensor signal (THW) and the condition of the air conditioner
operation.
Models with cold-area specifications feature an idle-up switch, which
Manual Idle-up Switch*1
is used to quickly warm up the engine when it is cold.
Prohibits fuel delivery and ignition if an attempt is made to start the

engine with an invalid ignition key. For details, see page 53.
When the engine ECU detects a malfunction, the engine ECU

General
This system controls the intake camshaft valve timing so as to obtain balance between the engine output,
fuel consumption and emission control performance. The actual intake side valve timing is fedback by
means of the camshaft position sensor for constant control to the target valve timing.

Construction
1) VVT-i Controller
This controller consists of the housing driven from the timing chain and the vane coupled with the intake
camshaft.
The oil pressure sent from the advance or retard side path at the intake camshaft causes rotation in the
VVT-i controller vane circumferential direction to vary the intake valve timing continuously.
When the engine is stopped, the intake camshaft will be in the most retarded state to ensure startability.
When hydraulic pressure is not applied to the VVT-i controller immediately after the engine has been
started, the lock pin locks the movement of the VVT-i controller to prevent a rattling noise.

Operation
D The camshaft timing oil control valve selects the path to the VVT-i controller according to the advance,
retard or hold signal from the engine ECU. The VVT-i controller rotates the intake camshaft in the timing
advance or retard position or holds it according to the position where the oil pressure is applied.

D In proportion to the engine speed, intake air volume, throttle position and water temperature, the engine
ECU calculates an optimal valve timing under each driving condition and control the camshaft timing oil
control valve. In addition, engine ECU uses signal from the camshaft position sensor and the crankshaft
position sensor to detect the actual valve timing, thus performing feed back control to achieve the target
valve timing.
