Heated Oxygen Sensor (front) Circuit

  • A voltage corresponding to the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas is sent to the ECM (terminal 71) (M/T> or PCM (terminal 71) (A/T> from the output terminal (terminal 1) of the heated oxygen sensor (front).
  • Terminal 2 of the heated oxygen sensor (front) is grounded with ECM (terminal 47) (M/T> or PCM (terminal 57) (A/T>.

Injector Circuit
Connectors: A-21X, B-01, B-02, B-05, B-06, B-25, B-26, B-48, C-51 , C-52

Injector Circuit

  • The injector power is supplied from the MFI relay (terminal 1).
  • The ECM (M/T> or PCM (A/T> controls the injector by turning the power transistor in the ECM (M/T> or PCM (A/T> ON" and "OFF ."

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

  • The MFI system reduces exhaust emissions by means of closed loop fuel control.
