Input Signals - Toyota 2007 RAV4 Electrical Wiring Diagram

System Outline
The engine control system utilizes a microcomputer and maintains overall control of the engine, transmission etc. An outline
of the engine control is given here.

1. Input Signals

(1) Engine coolant temp. signal circuit
The engine coolant temp. sensor detects the engine coolant temp. and has a built–in thermistor with a resistance, which
varies according to the engine coolant temp.. The engine coolant temp. which is input into TERMINAL THW of the
engine control module as a control signal.
(2) Intake air temp. signal circuit
The intake air temp. sensor is installed in the mass air flow meter and detects the intake air temp. which is input as a
control signal to TERMINAL THA of the engine control module.
(3) Vehicle speed signal circuit
The vehicle speed signal is input from the speed sensor to skid control ECU with actuator, and are sent to the engine
control module through communication control.
(4) RPM signal circuit
Camshaft position and crankshaft position are detected by the camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor.
Camshaft position is input as a control signal to TERMINAL G2+ of the engine control module, and engine RPM is input
into TERMINAL NE+.
(5) Throttle position signal circuit
The throttle position sensor detects the throttle valve opening angle as a control signal, which is input into TERMINALS
VTA1 and VTA2 of the engine control module.
(6) Battery signal circuit
Voltage is constantly applied to TERMINAL BATT of the engine control module. With the ignition SW turned on, the
voltage for engine control module start–up power supply is applied to TERMINALS +B and +B2 of the engine control
module via the EFI MAIN relay.
The current flowing through the IGN fuse flows to TERMINAL IGSW of the engine control module.
(7) Intake air volume signal circuit
Intake air volume is detected by the mass air flow meter and the signal is input to TERMINAL VG of the engine control
module as a control signal.
(8) Stop lamp SW signal circuit
The stop lamp SW is used to detect whether the vehicle is braking or not and the signal is input into TERMINAL STP of
the engine control module as a control signal.
(9) Starter signal circuit
To confirm whether the engine is cranking, the voltage is applied to the starter motor during cranking is detected and the
signal is input into TERMINAL STA of the engine control module as a control signal.
(10) Engine knock signal circuit
Engine knocking is detected by knock sensor and the signal is input into TERMINAL KNK1 as a control signal.
(11) Air fuel ratio signal system
The air fuel ratio is detected and input as a control signal into TERMINAL A1A+ of the engine control module.
(12) Oxygen sensor signal circuit
The oxygen density in the exhaust gases is detected and input as a control signal into TERMINAL OX1B of the engine
control module. To maintain stable detection performance by the heated oxygen sensor, a heater is used for warning the
sensor. The heater is also controlled by engine control module (O1B–).
