Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Engine Control Module (ECM) uses input signals provided by crankshaft and camshaft position sensors to monitor the changes in crankshaft rotation. If engine speed rate changes enough to equal a preset number, a misfire is detected and Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is illuminated. If misfire rate is great enough and driving conditions will cause catalytic converter damage or overheating, the MIL will blink when misfire is occurring.
