FUNCTION
The ETCS-i, which provides excellent throttle control in all operating ranges, is used.
The ETCS-i uses the ECM to calculate the optimal throttle valve opening angle that is appropriate for the respective driving conditions and uses a throttle control motor to control the opening angle.
The ETCS-i controls the idle speed and cruise control system.*
If a malfunction is detected, this system switches to fail-safe mode.
*: Models with cruise control system
| Throttle Valve Opening Angle Control | Controls the throttle valve opening angle in accordance with the driving conditions based on signals from the ECM. |
| Idle Speed Control (ISC) | Controls the fast idle speed in accordance with the engine coolant temperature, rotation fluctuation control during engine load, etc., to regularly maintain the optimal idle speed. |
| CVT + EFI + ETCS-i Integrated Control (Shift Shock Reduction Control) | Controls the throttle valve opening angle during CVT shifting to achieve a reduction in shift shock when shifting up and down and to reduce the shifting time. |
| VVT-i + VVT-iW + Turbocharger + ETCS-i Integrated Control | Cooperatively controls the throttle valve, VVT-iW, VVT-i and wastegate valve to achieve a driving condition with optimal fuel economy during normal driving. Also, controls each actuator in accordance with the driver's intentions during acceleration to achieve a high torque response. |
