LIST OF COMPONENT FUNCTIONS

Name Function

ECU Engine-ECU Uses the signals input from the various sensors to control operation of
actuators in accordance with the driving conditions.

Sensors Ignition switch-IG Detects the ON/OFF position of the ignition switch. When this signal
is input to the engine-ECU, power is supplied to components such as
the injectors, air flow sensor, idle speed control servo and crank angle
sensor.

Ignition switch-ST Detects whether the engine is cranking. The engine-ECU controls the
fuel injection, throttle valve opening angle and ignition timing to the
appropriate settings based on this signal.

Air flow sensor Detects the amount of intake air (volumetric capacity) by means of a
Karman vortex meter. The engine-ECU controls the basic injector drive
time based on this signal and on the engine speed.

Barometric pressure sensor Detects the barometric pressure by means of a semiconductor

diffusion-type pressure sensor. The engine-ECU detects the vehicle’s
altitude based on this signal, and uses this to correct the fuel injection
amount so that the optimum air/fuel mixture ratio is obtained for that
altitude.

Oxygen sensor Detects the concentration of oxygen in the exhaust gas by means of
zirconia and platinum electrodes. The engine-ECU judges whether the
air/fuel mixture ratio is at the optimum theoretical ratio based on this
concentration.

Intake air temperature sensor Detects the temperature of the intake air by means of a thermistor. The
engine-ECU corrects the fuel injection amount to the correct amount
corresponding to the intake air temperature based on the voltage
output from this sensor.

Engine coolant temperature Detects the temperature of the engine coolant by means of a
sensor thermistor. The engine-ECU detects how warm the engine is based on
the signal from this sensor, and uses this to control the fuel injection
amount, idle speed and ignition timing.

Throttle position sensor Detects the throttle valve opening angle by means of a potentiometer.
The engine-ECU controls the throttle valve and also determines the
optimum fuel injection for the vehicle’s degree of acceleration based
on the voltage output from this sensor.

Vehicle speed sensor Detects the vehicle speed by means of a magnetic rheostatic element.

Camshaft position sensor Detects the No. 1 cylinder compression top dead centre position by
means of a hall element.

Crank angle sensor Detects the crank angle by means of a hall element. The engine-ECU
controls the injectors based on the signal from this sensor.

Helical Gear LSD
The helical gear LSD is composed of four long pinions, four short pinions, three thrust washers, side

Operations during differential (when there is rotational difference between the left and right
wheels)
When the frictional coefficient of the left and right wheels are more or less equal, and a slight rotational
difference occurs at the left and right wheels (normal turning), rotational difference will also occur
between side gears A and B. In this case, while the long pinions and short pinions mutually rotate
in the reverse direction, the vicinity of side gears A and B revolves and absorbs the speed difference.
In this way, like normal differential, the high speed side accelerates for the revolved amount in respect
to the revolution speed of the differential case,while the low speed side rotates in the decelerated
state and performs differential.

Operations during Limited Slip Differential

When the loads of the left and right wheels become unbalanced due to changes in road surface
conditions and sudden turning, the driving torque of side gears A and B will differ.
As mentioned earlier, because side gears A and B are in contact via the respective long and short
pinions, the gears influence each other, resulting in contact reaction force (F and f) between the
long pinion and side gear B, and the short pinion and side gear A.
The separating force (Ft and ft) in the axial direction of the contact reaction force causes side gears
A and B to be pushed and extended. From this force, side gears A and B are pushed against the
thrust washer (case) and friction occurs.
The separating force (Fr and fr) in the radial direction of the contact reaction force causes the long
pinion and short pinion to be pushed against the differential case (cases A and B). This force generates
a large friction between the long pinion, short pinion, and differential case (cases A and B).
Friction also occurs on the gear with the generation of contact reaction force (F and f) of the four
gears (pinions).
These frictional forces cause the generation of frictional torque at each section according to the
size of the driving torque input to the differential case, and the generation of limited slip differential
torque proportionate to the input torque.

TRANSFER LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL
During acceleration and deceleration, the piston is moved in the right direction according to the oil pressure
from the hydraulic unit to connect the hydraulic multi plate clutch (friction plate and disc) and set the
center differential to the direct engagement state as much as possible. This improves the acceleration
performance and stability during deceleration.
During turning, the oil pressure from the hydraulic unit stops, the piston operates in the left direction
to release the hydraulic multi plate clutch and free the center differential to improve the turning performance.
If the parking brake is pulled while driving at a vehicle speed above 5 km/h, the hydraulic multi plate
clutch will also be released and the center differential set as close as possible to the free state.

HYDRAULIC UNIT
The hydreaulic unit is composed of the accumulator (electric pump, pressure sensor, accumulator) and
pressure controller (proportional valve, directional valve).
The pressure accumulator intermittently operates the pump, and accumulates the control pressure required
in the accumulator.
The pressure controller operates the proportional valve and directional valve, and supplies the appropriate
oil pressure to the ACD transfer or AYC torque transfer differential according to the signals from the
4WD-ECU.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
For detecting the throttle valve opening angle. Also used as throttle position sensor for engine control.

LONGITUDINAL G SENSOR/LATERAL G SENSOR

The longitudinal G sensor are sensors detecting the acceleration in the longitudinal directions of the
vehicle, and are basically the same as those used conventionally.
The lateral G sensor is used for detecting the acceleration along the sides of the vehicle by changing
the installing direction by 90° . The same sensor as the longitudinal G sensor is used.

STEERING WHEEL SENSOR

The steering wheel sensor is installed at the steering column, and is used to output steer angles to
the 4WD-ECU as signals.
It is composed of the slit plate which rotates according to the movements of the handle and a three-set
photointerruptor. The slit plate and photointerruptor have a sealed integrated structure to prevent the
invasion of foreign particles as well as misoperations by external light. To detect malfunctions of the
sensor output circuit, it is equipped with a zener diode for detecting disconnections parallel to the
phototransistor.
The ECU calculates the steering angle by reading the signals of the steering wheel sensor after every
certain period of time and calculating the total of the ST-1 signal and ST-2 signal.
The steering angle is obtained by taking the neutral position (ST-N output is L center) as 0° , and if
there are changes, the steering angle is added with 2° for right and - 2° for left. The output of the
photointerruptor becomes L (low) when light passes through and H (high) when obstructed.

Torsion bar OPERATION

(1) If a collision energy is transmitted to the seat belt, the
Belt ELR mechanism will operate to lock the seat belt.
(2) Then, if the energy increases to a predetermined value,
the torsion bar will be distorted. As the spool rotates
together with the torsion bar, the seat belt webbing is
pulled out, reducing impact on the occupants.

SMART WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)

SWS is a minimal line system which transmits numerous signals using one wiring to control against
increased weight and complication of harnesses which result from the increase in electronic accessories.
Basically the same as the new SPACE RUNNER.
To transmit numerous signals, the ETACS-ECU*, column switch, front ECU, power window main switch
(power window switch of the driver’s seat side) incorporate multi-distribution circuits to carry out
communication between control units.

WINDSHIELD WIPER WASHER CONTROL FUNCTION
1. Mist wiper control
When the ignition switch is at the ACC or ON position, if the windshield mist wiper switch of the column
switch is turned ON, the front ECU turns ON the windshield wiper drive signal. At the same time, the
wiper speed switching relay is turned ON (HI), and while the windshield mist wiper switch is ON, the
windshield wiper will operate at high speed. At the point the windshield mist switch is turned ON, if the
windshield wiper has been operating intermittently, the same operations as the above will be performed
while the windshield mist wiper switch is ON. After the windshield mist wiper switch goes OFF, the intermittent
operations will be set again TI seconds after the windshield wiper auto-stop signal is turned ON last.

HEADLAMP AUTO-CUT FUNCTION
Even if the headlamp switch is ON, the head lamp will automatically go off in the following conditions
to prevent the battery from discharging as a result of forgetting to turn off lights.
(1) When the ignition key is turned from ON to OFF with the headlamp switch turned ON, and this
state continues for 3 minutes, the headlamp will automatically be turned off. If the driver’s seat door
is opened during these 3 minutes, the lamp will go off 1 second later. (During the one second until
it goes off, the light still ON reminder warning buzzer will sound. However, if the driver’s seat door
is opened with the ignition key inserted, the key inserted reminder warning buzzer will function first.)
(2) When the tail lamp switch is turned ON with the ignition switch and lighting switch OFF, the lamp
will not go off automatically.
The headlamp auto-cut function is cancelled by turning ON the lighting switch (tail or headlamp switch)
or ignition switch.

DIMMER TYPE ROOM LAMP CONTROL FUNCTION
When the room lamp switch is at the door position, the ETACS-ECU controls the lighting of the room
lamp as follows.
(1) When a door is opened to get on or get off the vehicle (when the ignition switch is OFF), the lamp
lights up (100%), when closed, the lamp dims (65%), and goes off 15 seconds later. However if
the ignition switch is turned ON while the timer illuminates or if door is locked, the lamp will go off
at that point.
(2) When a door is opened with the ignition switch ON, the lamp illuminates (100%), and goes off when
closed.
(3) When the ignition key is removed with all doors closed
When the ignition key is removed with all doors closed, the lamp illuminates (65%) and goes off
after 15 seconds. When the ignition key is inserted again while the lamp illuminates or when door
is locked, the lamp goes off.
