MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) RELAY CONTROL

MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)

13A-45

Thus, by operating the turbocharger wastegate solenoid under
duty cycle control, the ECM is able to control the intake charge
pressure within a duty cycle range of 0% to 100%. The ECM
actuates the turbocharger wastegate solenoid 1 at a duty cycle
rate that suits the engine speed and throttle valve opening
angle, and actuates the turbocharger wastegate solenoid 2 at a
duty cycle rate that suits the engine speed. By operating a com-
bination of two turbocharger wastegate solenoid, the ECM is
able to control a wide range of intake charge pressure.

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) RELAY CONTROL

When the ignition switch-IG "ON" signal is input,
ECM turns ON the power transistor for control of the
MFI relay. As a result, current flows through the MFI
relay's coil, the relay switch turns ON and power is
supplied to each sensor and actuator. Also, when
ignition switch-IG "OFF" signal is input, ECM per-
forms the following controls and then turns OFF the
power transistor for control of MFI relay.

• Initializing control of throttle valve

• After run control of fan for cooling

MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)

When the ignition switch-ST signal is input, ECM
turns ON the power transistor for control of the fuel
pump relay 2. As a result, the fuel pump relay 2,
which is integrated in the ETACS-ECU turns ON,
supplying power to the fuel pump. Also, the ECM
turns the fuel pump relay 1 ON or OFF in accordance
with the driving conditions of the engine, in order to
switch the actuation condition (High or Low) of the
fuel pump. If the engine speed is low, the ECM turns
OFF the fuel pump relay 1. As a result, the current
travels through a fuel pump circuit resistor to the fuel
pump. Because the voltage that is applied to the fuel
pump is reduced by the resistor, it decreases below
battery voltage. This results in a lower fuel pump
speed, which reduces the fuel supply volume. If the
engine speed is high, the ECM turns ON the fuel
pump relay 1. As a result, there is no voltage drop
caused by the fuel pump circuit resistor, allowing the
fuel pump to operate at high speeds. Thus, the fuel
supply volume increases. Also, if engine speed falls
below a set value, the fuel pump relay is turned OFF.
Thus, it deals with sudden stoppages such as engine
stalling etc. by stopping the pump.
