Purpose, Function
The water pump operates by obtaining drive force from the engine via the drive belt to pump engine coolant.
Construction
The water pump is installed to the engine front.
The water pump consists of the following parts:
A hard plastic shroud impeller has been adopted to the impeller. As a result, leakage loss from the front and back surfaces of the impeller is reduced and the pump efficiency is improved.
Operation
1. The water pump pulley rotates by obtaining drive force from the engine via the drive belt.
2. The impeller with the water pump pulley and shaft connected rotates to pump engine coolant.
Fuel Pump Control
Outline
By switching the fuel pump discharge amount, reduced power consumption and
improved fuel economy have been realized.
The PCM determines the optimum fuel pump drive force according to the engine
operation conditions, and sends the fuel pump drive signal to the fuel pump

Shift Lock System [Fw6 A EL, Fw6 Ax EL]
Purpose, Function
The shift-lock system operates when the ignition is switched to ON and the
brake pedal is not depressed, and inhibits the selector lever from being shifted
from the P position to other positions.
If the shift-lock cannot be released by the normal operation, it ...
Fresh Air Duct
Purpose, Function
Conducts fresh air from outside the engine compartment.
Increases air density by taking fresh air, which is cooler than the engine
compartment, to enhance the charging efficiency, ensuring the combustion stability.
Construction
The fresh-air duct is i ...
