The engine ECU determines the "Target Injection Timing" by using the signals received from the various sensors to
correct the "Basic Target Injection Timing". This is calculated from the engine speed and accelerator position. The
"Actual Injection Timing" is also calculated, based on the crankshaft angle standard position signal (TDC signal). In
order to make the "Actual Injection Timing" match the "Target Injection Timing", the duty ratio of the timing control
valve is calculated. Feedback control is performed to make the injection timing the same as the target value.
• Calculating the Injection Timing
Target injection timing formula
• Basic Target Injection Timing
The engine ECU calculates the engine load from the
engine speed and accelerator position signals, and
determines the "Basic Target Injection Timing". The
higher the engine speed, or the larger the accelerator
position, the longer the advance.

The engine ECU compares the "Target Injection Timing" and "Actual Injection Timing" that have been calculated. It
then performs duty actuation on the timing control valve (TCV) in order to match the two timing values. As a result,
the injection pump roller ring turns, and the injection timing changes.

This control function minimizes the variation in the idling speed caused by changes in the engine load. A
"Target Speed" is calculated to meet the engine and driving conditions, which is used to control speed when
the engine is idling.
The engine ECU detects the "Refrigerant Temperature, Shift Position, Air Conditioner Operation" signals,
and compares the calculated "Target Speed" with the engine speed (engine speed sensor signal) at that
time. If the engine speed is different, the fuel injection volume is adjusted, and feedback control is
performed in order to match it with the target idling speed.
• Engine speed is lower than target speed - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Injection volume is increased
• Engine speed is higher than target speed - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Injection volume is decreased
The "Target Engine Speed" for each engine
condition has already been stored in the engine ECU
memory. When the ECU receives information about
the engine conditions from the sensors and
switches, it searches its memory and determines
the appropriate target value.
