The control functions are basically the same as those
for the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine of the previous
ECLIPSE (D32A, D33A). In addition to the improve-
ments already adopted on the 2.4-liter engine of the
ECLIPSE (D52A), the following improvements have
been made:
IMPROVEMENT/ADDITION REMARK
Clutch pedal position switch Reduces the amount of hydrocarbon (HC) discharge by making fuel
injection volume corrections during shift changes.
Charge air cooler water spray Improves output performance during high-load operating conditions
control by spraying water on the charge air cooler, which cools the intake air
(if the AUTO mode is selected).
Fuel pump discharge volume Reduces the discharge of fuel vapors when the load on the engine is
switching control low by decreasing the fuel pump speed, which decreases the fuel
return volume. (This function is basically the same as for the 3.0-liter
turbocharged engine of the 3000GT.)
Fuel level sensor 2 Along with the adoption of the saddle type fuel tank, a fuel level
sensor is provided in each of the main and sub chambers of the fuel
tank. The engine control module (ECM) determines individually
whether fuel level sensor 1 or fuel level sensor 2 has become stuck.

CLUTCH PEDAL POSITION SWITCH

The clutch pedal position switch is a contact type switch that is
CLUTCH PEDAL mounted on the clutch pedal assembly to detect the pressing of
POSITION SWITCH
the clutch pedal.
When the driver presses the clutch pedal while shifting gears,
the contacts of the clutch pedal position switch close. This
causes the positive battery voltage applied by the engine con-
trol module (ECM) to be grounded to the body via the clutch
pedal assembly. Upon detecting this signal, the ECM makes
fuel injection volume corrections during a shift change, thus
reducing the discharge of hydrocarbon (HC) emissions associ-
ated with insufficient release of the accelerator pedal.

THE SEAT BELT IN ANY TYPE OF COLLISION. THE DRIVER AND ALL OTHER
OCCUPANTS SHOULD WEAR SEAT BELTS AT ALL TIME.
WARNING!
IF THE "SRS" WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS
WHEN IGNITION KEY IS TURNED TO "ON" OR THE ENGINE IS STARTED, OR IF THE
WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING, TAKE THE VEHICLE TO YOUR
NEAREST AUTHORIZED DEALER IMMEDIATELY. ALSO, IF VEHICLE'S FRONT END
IS DAMAGED OR IF THE AIR BAG HAS DEPLOYED, TAKE THE VEHICLE FOR
SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.
THE AIR BAG SYSTEM MUST BE INSPECTED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER TEN
YEARS AFTER THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURE DATE SHOWN ON THE
CERTIFICATION LABEL LOCATED ON THE LEFT FRONT DOOR-LATCH POST OR
DOOR FRAME.
READ THE "SRS" SECTION OF YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL BEFORE DRIVING FOR
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT OPERATION AND SERVICE OF THE AIR BAG
