  • Page 62 RAV4 – NEW FEATURES 5) Throttle Position Sensor The throttle position sensor is mounted on the throttle body to detect the opening angle of the throttle valve. The throttle position sensor converts the magnetic flux density that changes when the magnetic yoke (located on the same axis as the throttle shaft) rotates around the Hall IC into electric signals to operate the throttle control motor.
  • Page 63 RAV4 – NEW FEATURES 6) Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor The non-contact type accelerator pedal position sensor uses a Hall IC. D The magnetic yoke that is mounted at the accelerator pedal arm rotates around the Hall IC in accordance with the amount of effort that is applied to the accelerator pedal. The Hall IC converts the changes in the magnetic flux at that time into electrical signals, and outputs them as accelerator pedal effort to the ECM.
  • Page 64 RAV4 – NEW FEATURES 7) Tumble Control Valve Position Sensor The non-contact type tumble control valve position sensor uses a Hall IC. It detects the tumble control valve opening angle. The sensor converts the magnetic flux density that changes when the magnetic yoke (located on the same axis as the tumble control valve shaft) rotates around the Hall IC into electric signals and sends them to ECM.
  • Page 65 RAV4 – NEW FEATURES 8) Knock Sensor (Flat Type) a. General In the conventional type knock sensor (resonant type), a vibration plate which has the same resonance point as the knocking frequency of the engine is built in and can detect the vibration in this frequency band.

  • Page 74 RAV4 – NEW FEATURES 3) Construction a. VVT-i Controller D Each controller consists of a housing driven by the timing chain and a vane coupled with the intake or exhaust camshaft. D Both the intake and exhaust sides have a four-blade vane. D The oil pressure sent from the advanced or retarded side path at the intake and exhaust camshafts causes rotation in the VVT-i controller vane circumferential direction to vary the intake and exhaust valve timing continuously.
  • Page 75 RAV4 – NEW FEATURES b. Camshaft Timing Oil Control Valve This camshaft timing oil control valve controls the spool valve using duty cycle control from the ECM. This allows hydraulic pressure to be applied to the VVT-i controller advanced or retarded side. When the engine is stopped, the camshaft timing oil control valve is in the most retarded position.
  • Page 76 RAV4 – NEW FEATURES 4) Operation a. Advance When the camshaft timing oil control valve is positioned as illustrated below by the advance signals from the ECM, the resultant oil pressure is applied to the timing advance side vane chamber to rotate the camshaft in the timing advance direction.
  • Page 77 RAV4 – NEW FEATURES b. Retard When the camshaft timing oil control valve is positioned as illustrated below by the retard signals from the ECM, the resultant oil pressure is applied to the timing retard side vane chamber to rotate the camshaft in the timing retard direction.
  • Page 78 RAV4 – NEW FEATURES ACIS (Acoustic Control Induction System) 1) General The ACIS is implemented by using a bulkhead to divide the intake manifold into 2 stages, with an intake air control valve in the bulkhead being opened and closed to vary the effective length of the intake manifold in accordance with the engine speed and throttle valve opening angle.
  • Page 79 RAV4 – NEW FEATURES 2) Construction a. Intake Air Control Valve The intake air control valve is integrated in the intake manifold. It opens and closes to change the effective length of the intake manifold in two stages. b. Actuator The actuator opens and closes the intake air control valve by the vacuum pressure Actuator...
  • Page 80 RAV4 – NEW FEATURES 3) Operation a. When the Intake Control Valve Closes (VSV ON) The ECM activates the VSV to match the longer pulsation cycle so that the negative pressure acts on the diaphragm chamber of the actuator. This closes the control valve. As a result, the effective length of the intake manifold is lengthened and the intake efficiency in the medium speed range is improved due to the dynamic effect of the intake air, thereby increasing the power output.
  • Page 81 RAV4 – NEW FEATURES Tumble Control System 1) General In the tumble control system, the tumble control valve remains fully closed during cold start and cold running conditions, in order to create a strong tumble current in the combustion chamber. In addition, this system optimally controls the ignition timing and the fuel injection volume in accordance with the opening and closing of the valve.
  • Page 82 RAV4 – NEW FEATURES 3) Operation a. Engine Running Cold To improve combustion, the ECM operates the actuator to fully close the tumble control valve, in order to create a strong tumble current in the combustion chamber. This enables the engine to operate at a lean air-fuel ratio immediately after a cold start.
  • Page 83 RAV4 – NEW FEATURES Cooling Fan Control The ECM controls the operation of the cooling fan in two speeds (low and high) based on the engine coolant temperature sensor signal and the air conditioning ECU signal. This control is accomplished by operating the 2 fan motors in 2 stages through low speed (series connection) and high speed (parallel connection).
  • Page 84 RAV4 – NEW FEATURES Cooling Fan Operation " Cooling Fan High A/C Compressor Refrigerant Pressure − − High Engine Coolant Temperature Level 1, 2 1, 2, 3 Refrigerant Pressure Engine Coolant Temperature Level High 1.12 1.42 (11.4, 162) (14.5, 174) Kg/cm , psi (201.2)
  • Page 85: Starter Cut Relay

    RAV4 – NEW FEATURES Starter Control (Models with Smart Key System) 1) General D Once the engine switch is pressed, this function operates the starter until the engine starts, provided that the brake pedal is depressed and the shift lever is in the P or N position. This prevents application of the starter for an inadequate length of time and it also prevents the engine from being cranked after it has started.
  • Page 86 RAV4 – NEW FEATURES 2) Operation D Before starting occurs, the main body ECU sends power from its IG2D terminal to the IG2 relay, causing the IG2 relay to close. After the IG2 relay closes, it provides power to the coil of the starter cut relay, causing the contacts of the starter cut relay to close, enabling the circuit that operates the starter relay.
