CIRCUIT OPERATION
- MFI relay is built into the IPDM E/R.
- Power is supplied to the oil feeder control valve connector terminal from the MFI relay connector terminal.
- The ECM connector terminal number 9 makes the power transistor in the unit be in ON position, and that makes currents go on the oil feeder control valve connector terminal.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The oil feeder control valve changes the phase angle to operate the MIVEC system in the advance or the retard side in accordance with signals from the ECM.
DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Oil feeder control valve circuit current is out of the specified range.
MONITOR EXECUTION
Continuous.
