1. Cylinder Head
The injectors are installed in the cylinder head to reduce the distance from injector to intake valve, thus
it prevents the fuel from adhering to the intake port walls, and reduce exhaust emissions.
The routing of the water jacket in the cylinder head is optimized to achieve high cooling performance.
Through the use of the taper squish combustion chamber, the engines knocking resistance and fuel
efficiency have been improved.

Construction
Instead of constructing the armature coil with P type of round-shaped conductor wires, the PS type starter
uses square conductors. With this type of construction, the same conditions that are realized by winding
numerous round-shaped conductor wires can be achieved without increasing the mass. As a result, the
output torque has been increased, and the armature coil has been made compact.
Because the surface of the square-shaped conductors that are used in the armature coil functions as a
commutator, the overall length of the PS type starter has been shortened.

Instead of the field coils used in the P type starter, the PS type starter uses two types of permanent
magnets: the main magnets and the interpolar magnets. The main and interpolar magnets are arranged
alternately inside the yoke, allowing the magnetic flux that is generated between the main and interpolar
magnets to be added to the magnetic flux that is generated by the main magnets. In addition to increasing
the amount of magnetic flux, this construction shortens the overall length of the yoke.

General
The main components of the 1NZ-FE engine control system are as follows:
ECM
The 32-bit CPU of the ECM is used to realize the high speed for processing the signals.
1) General
The air fuel ratio sensor and heated oxygen sensor differ in output characteristics.
Approximately 0.4V is constantly applied to the air fuel ratio sensor, which outputs an amperage that
varies in accordance with the oxygen concentration in the exhaust emission. The ECM converts the
changes in the output amperage into voltage in order to linearly detect the present air-fuel ratio.
The output voltage of the heated oxygen sensor changes in accordance with the oxygen concentration
in the exhaust emission. The ECM uses this output voltage to determine whether the present air-fuel
ratio is richer or leaner than the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio.

2) Construction
The basic construction of the air fuel ratio sensor and heated oxygen sensor is the same. However, they
are divided into the cup type and the planar type, according to the different types of heater construction
that are used.
The cup type sensor contains a sensor element that surrounds a heater.
The planer type sensor uses alumina, which excels in heat conductivity and insulation, to integrate a
sensor element with a heater, thus realizing the excellent warm-up performance of the sensor.

General
The ETCS-i is used, providing excellent throttle control in all the operating ranges.
The accelerator cable has been discontinued, and an accelerator pedal position sensor has been provided
on the accelerator pedal.
In the conventional throttle body, the throttle valve opening is determined invariably by the amount of
the accelerator pedal effort. In contrast, the ETCS-i uses the ECM to calculate the optimal throttle valve
opening that is appropriate for the respective driving condition and uses a throttle control motor to control
the opening.
The ETCS-i controls the IAC (Idle Air Control) system and cruise control system.
In case of an abnormal condition, this system switches to the limp mode.

The accelerator pedal position sensor is comprised of two (main, sub) sensor circuits. If a malfunction
occurs in either one of the sensor circuits, the ECM detects the abnormal signal voltage difference
between these two sensor circuits and switches to the limp mode. In the limp mode, the remaining circuit

Then, the force of the return spring causes the throttle valve to return and stay at the prescribed opening
angle. At this time, the vehicle can be driven in the limp mode while the engine output is regulated
through the control of the fuel injection (intermittent fuel-cut) and ignition timing in accordance with the

1) VVT-i Controller
This controller consists of the housing driven from the timing chain and the vane coupled with the intake
camshaft.
The oil pressure sent from the advance or retard side path at the intake camshaft causes rotation in the
VVT-i controller vane circumferential direction to vary the intake valve timing continuously.
When the engine is stopped, the intake camshaft will be in the most retarded state to ensure startability.
When hydraulic pressure is not applied to the VVT-i controller immediately after the engine has been
started, the lock pin locks the movement of the VVT-i controller to prevent a knocking noise.

General
The evaporative emission control system prevents the vapor gas that is created in the fuel tank from being
released directly into the atmosphere.
The canister stores the vapor gas that has been created in the fuel tank.
The ECM controls the purge VSV in accordance with the driving conditions in order to direct the vapor
gas into the engine, where it is burned.
In this system, the ECM checks the evaporative emission leak and outputs DTC (Diagnostic Trouble
Codes) in the event of a malfunction. An evaporative emission leak check consists of an application of
a vacuum pressure to the system and monitoring the changes in the system pressure in order to detect a
leakage.
This system consists of the purge VSV, canister, refueling valve, canister pump module, and ECM.
The ORVR (Onboard Refueling Vapor Recovery) function is provided in the refueling valve.
The canister pressure sensor has been included to the canister pump module.
The canister filter has been provided on the fresh air line. This canister filter is maintenance-free.
The followings are the typical conditions for enabling an evaporative emission leak check:

Service Tip
The canister pump module performs fuel evaporative emission leakage check. This check is done
approximately five hours after the engine is turned off. So you may hear sound coming from
underneath the luggage compartment for several minutes. It does not indicate a malfunction.
The pinpoint pressure test procedure is carried out by pressurizing the fresh air line that runs from
the pump module to the air filler neck. For details, see the 2006 Yaris Repair Manual (Pub. No.
RM00R0U).

that suits the driving conditions. In addition, the ECM monitors the
system for any leakage and outputs a DTC if a malfunction is found.
1) Refueling Valve
The refueling valve consists of chamber A, chamber B, and the restrictor passage. A constant
atmospheric pressure is applied to chamber A.
During refueling, the internal pressure of the fuel tank increases. This pressure causes the refueling
valve to lift up, allowing the fuel vapors to enter the canister.
The restrictor passage prevents the large amount of vacuum that is created during purge operation or
system monitoring operation from entering the fuel tank, and limits the flow of the vapor gas from the
fuel tank to the canister. If a large volume of vapor gas recirculates into the intake manifold, it will
affect the air-fuel ratio control of the engine. Therefore, the role of the restrictor passage is to help
prevent this from occurring.

System Operation
1) Purge Flow Control
When the engine has reached predetermined parameters (closed loop, engine coolant temperature above
74C (165F), etc.), stored fuel vapors are purged from the canister whenever the purge VSV is opened
by the ECM.
The ECM will change the duty ratio cycle of the purge VSV, thus controlling purge flow volume. Purge
flow volume is determined by intake manifold pressure and the duty ratio cycle of the purge VSV.
Atmospheric pressure is allowed into the canister to ensure that purge flow is constantly maintained
whenever purge vacuum is applied to the canister.

General
Once the ignition switch is turned to the START position, this control continues to operate the starting
until the engine starts, without having to hold the ignition switch in the START position. This prevents
starting failures and the engine from being cranked after the engine has started.
When the ECM detects a start signal from the ignition switch, this system monitors the engine speed (NE)
signal and continues to operate the starter until it determines that the engine has started.

Operation
As indicated in the following timing chart, when the ECM detects a start signal from the ignition switch,
it energizes the starter relay to operate the starter. If the engine is already running, the ECM will not
energize the starter relay.
After the starter operates and the engine speed becomes higher than approximately 500 rpm, the ECM
determines that the engine has started and stops the operation of the starter.
If the engine has any failure and does not work, the starter operates as long as its maximum continuous
operation time and stops automatically. The maximum continuous operation time is approximately 2
seconds through 25 seconds depending on the engine coolant temperature condition. When the engine
coolant temperature is extremely low, it is approximately 25 seconds and when the engine is warmed up
sufficiently, it is approximately 2 seconds.
In case that the starter begins to operate, but cannot detect the engine speed signal, the ECM will stop
the starter operation immediately.

12. Diagnosis
When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM makes a diagnosis and memorizes the failed section.
Furthermore, the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) in the combination meter illuminates or blinks to
inform the driver.
The ECM will also store the DTCs of the malfunctions.
The DTCs can be accessed by the use of the hand-held tester.
To comply with the OBD-II regulations, all the DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) have been made to
correspond to the SAE controller codes. Some of the DTCs have been further divided into smaller
detection areas than in the past, and new DTCs have been assigned to them. For details, refer to the 2006
Yaris Repair Manual (Pub. No. RM00R0U).
Service Tip
To clear the DTC that is stored in the ECM, use a hand-held tester or disconnect the battery terminal
or remove the EFI fuse for 1 minute or longer.
13. Fail-Safe
When a malfunction is detected at any of the sensors, there is a possibility of an engine or other malfunction
occurring if the ECM were to continue to control the engine control system in the normal way. To prevent
such a problem, the fail-safe function of the ECM either relies on the data stored in memory to allow the
engine control system to continue operating, or stops the engine if a hazard is anticipated. For details, refer
to the 2006 Yaris Repair Manual (Pub. No. RM00R0U).
