Purpose
The ambient temperature sensor detects the ambient temperature.
Function
The ambient temperature sensor converts the detected temperature to an electric signal.
Construction
A thermistor-type ambient temperature sensor has been adopted.
The ambient temperature sensor is installed to the shroud panel on the back side of the front bumper.
Operation
The thermistor changes the resistance according to the surrounding temperature.
The resistance decreases if the temperature increases, and conversely increases if the temperature decreases as shown in the figure.

Direct Fuel Injection System
Purpose, Outline
Engine output has been improved through the direct injection of fuel into
the combustion chamber.
High response can be because there is no time lag from when the fuel injection
starts until the fuel is provided to the combustion chamber.
