OXYGEN SENSOR


Oxygen sensors are installed in 2 positions (front, rear) on catalytic converter. The structure and operation is basically the same as that of the 6B31 - MPI - engine. Refer to GROUP 13C - Multipoint fuel injection (MPI) - Sensor .

CRANK ANGLE SENSOR



A crank angle sensor is installed in the cylinder block. The crank angle sensor monitors rotation of crankshaft sensing blade (36 teeth including 3 missing teeth) installed on the crankshaft and converts to voltage (pulse signal) that is output to engine-ECU. Engine-ECU uses crank angle sensor’s output pulse to detect crankshaft position.
The structure is basically the same as that of the 6B31 - MPI - engine. Refer to GROUP 13C - Multipoint fuel injection (MPI) - Sensor .

INLET CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR



The inlet camshaft position sensor is installed on the cylinder head. The inlet camshaft position sensor monitors shape of the half-moon sensing portion and converts to voltage (pulse signal) that is output to engine-ECU. Upon receiving this output voltage, the engine-ECU effects feedback control to optimize the phase of the inlet camshaft. Also, engine-ECU uses a combination of the camshaft position sensor output pulse signal and crankshaft position sensor output pulse signal to identify cylinders in the compression process.

EXHAUST CAMSHAPT POSITION SENSOR


The exhaust camshaft position sensor is installed on the cylinder head. The exhaust crankshaft position sensor monitors shape of the half-moon sensing portion and converts to voltage (pulse signal) that is output to engine-ECU. Upon receiving this output voltage, the engine-ECU effects feedback control to optimize the phase of the exhaust camshaft.


The inlet or exhaust camshaft position sensor uses a magnetic resistance element. When the crankshaft-sensing portion passes the front surface of the magnetic resistance element, the flux from the magnet passes the magnetic resistance element. Thus, resistance of the magnetic resistance element increases. When the crankshaft-sensing portion does not pass the front surface of the magnetic resistance element, the flux from the magnet does not pass the magnetic resistance element and the resistance decreases. The intake or exhaust camshaft position sensor converts this change in resistance of the magnetic resistance element to a 5 V pulse signal and outputs it to engine-ECU.



DETONATION SENSOR



A detonation sensor is installed on the cylinder block.
The structure and operation is basically the same as that of the 6B31 - MPI - engine. Refer to GROUP 13C - Multipoint fuel injection (MPI) - Sensor .

VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR <M/T>



A vehicle speed sensor is installed on the transmission. The vehicle speed sensor uses Hall IC. The vehicle speed sensor monitors rotation of the speedometer drive gear installed on the differential case and converts to voltage that is output to engine-ECU. Engine-ECU calculates vehicle speed based on the vehicle speed sensor’s output frequency. Sensor properties are as shown in the figure.
