Fuel System (Fuel Injection) 1) Sensors Individual sensors detect the engine operating conditions and sends signals regarding the information to the ECU. 1. Pulser Coil [Crank Position Sensor] Pulser coils function as crank position sensors. As the flywheel rotates, the pulser coil sends a crank position signal to the ECU.
Page 113
5. Oil Pressure Switch The oil pressure switch is located on the port side of the engine block, protruding into the oil passage. The oil pressure switch sends an oil pressure low signal to the ECU. The ECU activates the low speed ESG and warning lamp based on this information.
Fuel System (Fuel Injection) 2) Actuators The actuator receives signals from the ECU to control the air/fuel ratio, ignition advance angle and idle revolution speed. 1. ISC (Idle Speed Control) Valve ISC is also referred to as IAC (Idle Air Control). The ISC valve is a solenoid valve with a built-in spring that is operated electrically to control the air intake quantity that bypasses the closed throttle valve.
4. Controls the engine low speed ESG function. 5. Controls the engine high speed ESG function. Memorizes engine operation information. Monitoring and failure diagnosis can be carried out using a PC on which TOHATSU DIAGNOSTICS (software) is installed and diagnostics harness. (2) Control System The ECU (Electronic Control Unit) is installed in the crankcase via a bracket.
Fuel System (Fuel Injection) (3) Fuel Injection Control The ECU calculates the intake air quantity based on the engine revolution speed and intake manifold pressure (intake vacuum pressure) to determine the fuel injection amount. During engine startup, warm-up, acceleration/deceleration, and idling, the ECU performs correction control based on information from the sensors.
(4) Control of Fuel Feed Pump (FFP) During normal operation: ECU performs on/off control for fuel feed pump (FFP) by using output signal from its pump control circuit. At starting: Pump control circuit outputs a signal to the pump (FFP), and power is supplied to the DC motor to drive the pump (FFP).
Fuel System (Fuel Injection) (6) Warning Buzzer and Lamp (LED), and Control of Engine Revolution Speed Warning System When an abnormality occurs on the engine, warning buzzer sounds and warning lamp (LED) is lit or blinks. In such case, engine speed is controlled but engine is not stopped. 1) Location of Warning Buzzer and Lamp (LED) •...
5. Ignition System For ignition system, CD ignition system is adopted, and ECU's electronic ignition timing control system controls the timing to the most suitable state according to current operating conditions. As engine is started, electric current is generated in the exciter coil of alternator. Which is input to ECU's regulator to feed power needed for operations of ignition coil, fuel injector and fuel feed pump (FFP).
Fuel System (Fuel Injection) (2) Ignition Control The ECU's microcomputer is pre-programmed with optimal ignition timings according to the condition of the engine. The ECU obtains information about the engine operating status such as the revolution speed, throttle opening, manifold pressure (air intake vacuum pressure), cooling water temperature etc. based on the signals from the above- mentioned sensors to ignite the fuel at the optimal ignition timing.
(3) Fuel Feed System The fuel pump 3 [low-pressure mechanical] draws fuel from the fuel tank and supplies it to the fuel feed pump 5 (FFP) [high-pressure electric] inside the vapor separator 4 through the fuel connector 1 and fuel filter 2. Highly pressurized fuel is fed into the fuel rail 7 and fuel injector, and is then injected into the intake manifold.
Fuel System (Fuel Injection) 6. Components of Fuel Feed System 1) Fuel Pump [Low Pressure Mechanical Pump] The fuel pump is a diaphragm pump that is operated mechanically by the camshaft. Due to the cooling system, cooling water enters from the vapor separator, cools the fuel, and then discharges to the cooling water check port.
3) Fuel Regulator The fuel regulator located inside the vapor separator serves to keep the fuel pressure constant. The fuel regulator is located in the passage connecting the high-pressure side and the chamber (low-pressure side), with a spring inside that pushes a ball to seal it (valve closed). When the pressure in the high-pressure passage exceeds a certain level, the spring is compressed, the valve opens, and fuel is returned to the chamber, maintaining constant fuel pressure on the high-pressure side.
Fuel System (Fuel Injection) 7. Outline of Fuel Injection System 1) Air Intake System The air intake system consists of intake manifold 1, throttle position sensor 2, throttle body 3, ISC (idle speed control) valve 4, and T-MAP (manifold pressure and temperature) sensor 5. The fuel rail and fuel injector are installed in the intake manifold 1.
8. Inspection Items 1) Inspection of Fuel Supply System Check the fuel system piping for fuel leak, dirt, deterioration and damage, and replace or repair parts if necessary. 2) Inspection of Filter 1. Check if there is any dirt in fuel filter 1, or if there is any fuel varnish, debris, deposits and contamination by foreign matter or water in the fuel filter cup 2, or if there are any cracks.

WARNING • Before measurement, check that pressure relief valve is fully closed. • B e fo r e c o nn e c t in g p r e s s ur e g a u g e , c o v e r connection between pressure gauge and valve with clean and dry cloth to prevent fuel from releasing.
6) Draining Fuel 1. Remove the cap 1. 2.

WARNING Be sure to reduce the fuel pressure in the high pressure fuel passage before ser vicing the fuel...
Fuel System (Fuel Injection) 2. Remove the needle valve 1, float pin 2, and float. 8) Inspection of Vapor Separator 1. Check the needle valve for bend and wear. Replace if necessary. 2. Check the float for deformation. Replace if necessary. 3.
9) Reassembly of Vapor Separator 1. Attach the float chamber to the vapor separator. 2. Reassemble all parts that were removed. Check that the hose is reconnected correctly. 10) Inspection of ISC (Idle Speed Control) 1. Use the diagnosis system to check operation of the ISC (Idle Speed Control) valve.

4. Power Tilt Functions • The power tilt system has an electric motor built into the system that drives the hydraulic pump to feed pressurized oil into the tilt cylinder. • The power tilt switch located on the tiller handle or remote control box is used to tilt up or down the outboard motor. 5.
Bracket Tilt Up Operation Pressing the "UP" side of the PT switch rotates the motor (gear of gear pump) rightward. The check valve A opens, and oil flows from the reservoir toward the gear pump and spool valve. This oil flow shifts the spool valve downward, opening the down-pressure main check valve.
Tilt Down Operation Pressing the "DOWN” side of the PT switch rotates the motor (gear pump) leftward. The check valve B opens, and oil flows from the reservoir toward the gear pump and spool valve. This oil flow shifts the spool valve upward to open the up-pressure main check valve.
Bracket Shock Absorber Valve The PT unit is provided with a shock absorber that protects the drive unit from impact in the event the drive unit hits an underwater obstacle during cruising. When the drive unit hits an underwater obstacle, the hydraulic pressure in the cylinder upper chamber is abruptly increased. This high pressure opens the shock valve of the piston.
Tilt rod Piston Cylinder lower chamber Thermal valve Thermal Valve The thermal valve protects the drive unit from excessive force that attempts to push down the tilt rod when the outboard motor is in the full tilt-up position. When excessive force is applied, the piston rod is pressed into the cylinder, increasing the hydraulic pressure in the cylinder lower chamber over a rated value.
Bracket 6. Removal of PT Unit 1. Fully tilt up the outboard motor and support it with the tilt stopper 1. WARNING • As the hydraulic pressure of the PT unit lowers, the outboard motor may suddenly fall, which is dangerous. Be sure to support the outboard motor with a stopper when tilting the motor up.
