Basic LP Fuel Review
Basic LP Review
LP liquid vaporizes at -44 F
A cubic foot (7.5 Gallons) of liquid LP will vaporize into about 270 cu. ft of LP
vapor.
LP gas is heavier than air. It will seek the lowest point in any area.
LP gas is extremely flammable.
(Ethyl Mercaptan) is added at the distributor to add odor to the vapor gas. The
reason is that leaks are made easier to detect.
Silicone is a component of Ethylene- glycol. Engine Coolant Antifreeze.
Do not use Teflon Tape on LP fittings.

MAFS Sensor
The MAFS is a combined IAT (Intake Air Temperature) and MAP (Manifold
Absolute Pressure) sensor.
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
The Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor monitors the changes in intake manifold
vacuum which result from engine load variations.
These pressure changes are relayed to the electronic control unit in the form of
electrical signals.
The sensor also indicates the changes in atmospheric pressure due to changes in
altitude.
The manifold air pressure sensor is mounted to the intake air hose.

MAFS Sensor
(IAT) Sensor
The Intake Air Temperature Sensor is a variable temperature sensitive
resistor.
The IAT sensor monitors the manifold air temperature which is a factor in air
density measurement. These temperature changes are relayed to the ECM in
the form of electrical signals.
The engine air/fuel ratio is maintained constant even though the engine air
flow varies.

The drive by wire system utilizes 2-Throttle Position Sensors located within the
electric throttle control ETC. The TPS is a variable resistor. TPS1 will read low
voltage when closed and TPS2 will read high voltage when closed. The TPS1 and
TPS2 percentages are calculated from these voltages. Although the voltages are
different, the calculated values for the throttle position percentages should be very
close to the same.
The Throttle Position Sensor is connected to the throttle shaft. Movement of the
shaft causes the throttle shaft to rotate (opening or closing the throttle blades). The
sensor tracks the shaft movement and position (closed throttle, wide open throttle,
or any position in between), and transmits an electrical signal to the electronic
control module.
The electronic control module monitors the (throttle position) to aid in determining
the fuel requirement for the particular situation (idle, acceleration, etc.)

Lock Off and Fuel Filter are separate parts.
LP Vaporizer
Fuel is supplied from LPG tank to vaporizer via LPG solenoid valve. Fuel from
solenoid valve is supplied to primary decompression room through primary side
valve and primary side valve seat.
Fuel pressure supplied to primary room is 0.3 kgf/cm2 or more (3-5 PSI).
Fuel decompressed approximately 0.3 kgf/cm2 (3-5 PSI) is supplied to secondary
room through the gap between secondary valve and valve seat to decompress to
the same pressure as atmospheric pressure.
Vacuum from intake manifold not only lifts up secondary diaphragm but also
secondary valve lever while engine is running. Secondary diaphragm is moved at
same time. Therefore, secondary valve opens, and them fuel flows in.
Vacuum from intake manifold does not occur while engine is stopped. Diaphragm
spring pushes secondary diaphragm down. Secondary valve closes as a result, and
then fuel stops flowing in.
Primary pressure test port
Note: Remember when servicing the LP System DO NOT use Teflon thread tape
use only a liquid pipe thread sealant.

Catalytic Converter
Catalytic Converter
The most important function is treating the exhaust gases which are created from
the combustion process.
The three-way catalyst consists of a honeycomb coated with a mixture of platinum,
palladium, and rhodium.
The hot gases flow through the catalyst sections where an oxidation and reduction
reactions take place.
These chemical reactions reduce the amount of CO, HC and NOX in the engines
exhaust.

ESD
(Electrostatic Discharge)
Electronic components used in control systems are often designed to carry very low
voltage, and are very susceptible to damage caused by electrostatic discharge.
It possible for less than 100 volts of static electricity to cause damage to some
electronic components. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts for a person to
even feel the zap of a static discharge.
There are several ways for a person to become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and by induction.
An example of charging by friction is a person sliding across a truck seat, in which a
charge of as much as 25,000 volts can build up.
Charging by induction occurs when a person with well insulated shoes stands near a
highly charged object and momentarily touches ground.
Static charges of either type can cause damage, therefore, it is important to use care
when handling and testing: electronic components.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes are set when the ECM (Electronic Control Module)
runs a diagnostic self-test and the test fails.
If the system continues to fail the test, the lamp will stay illuminated and the DTC
is current (Active). Code number will appear in the LCD display in the dashboard.
All VCM DTCs (start with an F) are stored as (Historical Faults) if its ECM DTC
(start with an E) will be stored in the alarm status until they are cleared. Display

accordingly. However, inspector performs actual adjustment work.
49
Dealer Training
Trip 1: If a malfunction is detected by self-diagnosis between the time ignition switch is turned ON
(engine is running) and then turned OFF (this is defined as "trip"), MIL is lit. The corresponding DTC
is recorded immediately after detection.
Trip 2: When a malfunction is detected by self-diagnosis for the first time in the first trip, a tentative
DTC is recorded. If the same malfunction is detected again by self-diagnosis in the next trip (second
trip), MIL is lit and the corresponding final DTC is recorded.
SST self-diagnostic results timing
For items of trip 1, timing "0" is displayed immediately after detection of a malfunction.
For items of trip 2, when a malfunction is detected for the first time (trip 1), timing "1t" is displayed.
When a malfunction is detected again in the next trip (trip 2), it is displayed as "0". Accumulative
counting is performed at the end of warming-up operation,
Conditions to turn off MIL
The MIL, marked with *, is turned off when ignition switch is turned ON (engine starts) again after
normal state is resumed.
For other self-diagnostic items, self-diagnostic results shall be erased by turning ignition switch to
OFF after normal operation is resumed.

Self Diagnostic Function (Without SST)
DESCRIPTION
In self-diagnosis, when any of the critical sensors or actuator and exhaust gas
control systems necessary for ECM control return a malfunction and selfdiagnosis detection conditions are satisfied, a DTC corresponding to the suspect
system is stored in ECM for easier trouble diagnosis. Self-diagnostic results can
be displayed with either SST or Display in the (combination) meter. Display
indication is explained here.
The trouble diagnosis mode has two types: mode 1 and mode 2. Mode 1 is
normal mode and mode 2 is self-diagnosis or heated oxygen sensor monitor
function.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
Refer to the following for how to activate self-diagnosis mode or erase heated
oxygen sensor monitor and self-diagnostic results.

Fail Safe Function
Certain DTC codes that set will result in system power reduction, or
complete engine shutdown
The ECM is programmed to do this in the event a failure is determined to
cause possible risk to the operator, damage to the engine or catalytic
converter.
Some code groups will provide a warning to a possible shutdown
Example:
Fail-Safe Function
When any of the critical sensors or systems sends a malfunction message, the failsafe function estimates the driving conditions with other input signals and selects
safer conditions for engine (vehicle) control, based on data previously stored in
ECM.
