.
FORCED DEF CONTROL
When air outlet position is switched to DEF, A/C is
automatically turned ON, and outside/inside air
selection damper is set to the fresh air position to
quickly defrost the windshield screen.
.
MAX A/C CONTROL
When the temperature adjustment knob is turned to
the maximum A/C position with the blower knob at
position other than OFF, the following controls are
made by the A/C-ECU.
NOTE: "*" Manual operation is disabled during max
A/C control.
.
MAX COOL, MAX HOT CONTROL

When the set temperature is at 18.0 °C <61°F>
(MAX COOL) or at 32.0
°C <89°F> (MAX HOT) with
the air outlet and air volume at the AUTO positions,
the following controls are made automatically by the
A/C-ECU.
NOTE: "*" indicates that when the automatic control
is not cancelled using the customise function, the
manual operation is disabled.
.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER TIMER
CONTROL
In order to prevent battery consumption, the defog-
ger is automatically turned OFF, 20 minutes after it is
turned ON.
.
IDLE-UP CONTROL
A/C-ECU and the engine ECU communicate with
each other through the CAN communication. The
idle-up speed of the engine is controlled in two steps
depending on the A/C load to secure the air cooling
performance during summer and to enhance fuel
economy in seasons with moderate temperature.
.
DETECTION CONTROL FOR
REFRIGERANT LEAKS
A/C-ECU determines if the refrigerant amount is less
than specified or refrigerant pressure is abnormal by
using the ambient temperature (ambient temperature
sensor to measure refrigerant inflation rate) and
refrigerant pressure (measured by the A/C pressure
sensor). When refrigerant amount or refrigerant pres
-
sure is judged abnormal, the compressor is cut-off to
protect the A/C system.
NOTE: When abnormality occurs, the A/C indicator
flashes.
.
PROTECTION CONTROL AT AIR BAG
DEPLOYMENT (DURING COLLISION)
When the air bag deployment is detected, the A/C
system is stopped.
.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMM2171000200147
HC (hydrocarbon) generated in the fuel tank are
adsorbed by the active carbon in the canister and
stored. HC stored in the canister is introduced to the
intake manifold when engine is in operation where it
is mixed with intake air and combusted. ECM intro
-
duces optimum HC amount according to driving con-
ditions and so performs duty control on the
evaporative emission purge solenoid. Also, the evap
-
orative emission purge solenoid is closed during
deceleration or immediately after engine start to
restrict change in air-fuel ratio and prevent engine
from stalling.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION PURGE SOLENOID
An evaporative emission purge solenoid is installed in the
intake manifold.The evaporative emission purge solenoid con
-
trols the intake volume of fuel vapor gas from the canister. The
evaporative emission purge solenoid is a duty control type
solenoid valve. When current is not passing through the coil,
nipple A is kept airtight and fuel vapor gas cannot be sucked in.
When current passes through the coil, air can pass between
nipple A and B and fuel vapor gas is sucked in. ECM changes
the ON duty ratio according to engine's operating condition to
control the intake volume of fuel vapor gas.
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SYSTEM M2171000300122
When the combustion gas temperature becomes
high, generation of the environment polluting NOx
(nitrogen oxides) increases rapidly. EGR system is
used to decrease the volume of NOx generated.
EGR system re-circulates exhaust gas inside the
intake manifold. It increases specific heat of the com
-
bustion gases and reduces combustion speed to lower the combustion temperature and reduce the
volume of NOx generated. ECM calculates the EGR
introduction volume according to engine operating
conditions and controls the EGR valve opening angle
at optimum. Also, immediately after the ignition
switch ON signal is input, it drives fully closed step
-
per motor and performs initialization.

ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)
ECM is installed in the engine room. ECM judges
(calculates) the optimum control to deal with the con
-
stant minute changes in driving conditions based on
information input from the sensors and drives the
actuator. ECM is composed of 32-bit microprocessor
and Random Access Memory (RAM), Read Only
Memory (ROM) and Input /Output interface. ECM uses flash-memory ROM that allows re-writing of
data so that change and correction of control data is
possible using special tools. It also uses Electrically
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
(EEPROM) so that studied compensation data is not
deleted even if battery terminals are disconnected.

.
GENERATOR FR TERMINAL
Generator turns ON/OFF the power transistor in the voltage
regulator to adjust current flow in the field coil according to
alternator output current. In this way generator's output voltage
is kept adjusted (to about 14.7 V). The ratio of power transistor
ON time (ON duty) is output from generator FR terminal to
ECM. ECM uses this signal to detect generator's output current
and drives throttle actuator control motor according to output
current (electric load). This prevents change in idle speed due
to electric load and helps maintain stable idle speed.

GENERATOR L TERMINAL
After turning on the ignition switch, the current is input by the
ECM to the generator L terminal. This allows the IC regulator to
be on and the field coil to be excited. When the generator
rotates in this situation, the voltage is excited in the stator coil
and the current is output from B-terminal through the commuta
-
tion diode. Also the generated voltage is input to the voltage
regulator through the commutation diode. After the electric gen
-
eration begins, the current is supplied to the field coil from this
circuit. In addition, the generated voltage is output from the
generator L terminal to the ECM. This allows the ECM to detect
that the electric generation begins. The ECM outputs the ON
signal to the combination meter through the CAN and then
turns off the generator malfunction light.

INJECTOR
An injector is an injection nozzle with the electromagnetic valve
that injects fuel based on the injection signal sent by ECM. 1
injector is installed in the intake manifold of each cylinder and
fixed to the fuel rail. When electricity flows through the solenoid
coil, the plunger gets sucked in. The ball valve is integrated
with the plunger, and gets pulled together with the plunger till
the fully open position so that the injection hole is fully open
and the fuel gets injected.
Voltage from the battery gets applied from the injector relay to
the injector and up to the ECM. ECM turns ON its power tran
-
sistor and prepares the injector's ground circuit. Thus, current
flows through the injector while power transistor is ON and the
injector injects fuel.

THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL MOTOR
A throttle actuator control motor is installed in throttle body. The
throttle actuator control motor performs the Open/Close of the
throttle valve through the reduction gear. ECM changes current
direction according to the Open/Close direction and also
changes current to the motor coil to control the throttle actuator
control motor.
Throttle actuator control motor is composed of a good
response, low energy, and small DC motor with brush and can
generate rotation force corresponding to the current applied on
the coil. When there is no current passing through the throttle
actuator control motor, the throttle valve remains at a pre
-
scribed opening angle. So, even if current stops because of a
fault in the system, a minimum level of running remains possi
-
ble.

GENERATOR G TERMINAL
ECM uses ON/OFF of generator G terminal to control genera-
tor output voltage. When the power transistor in the ECM turns
ON, output voltage gets adjusted to about 12.8 V. When gener
-
ator output voltage drops to 12.8 V it becomes lower than volt-
age of the charged battery and almost no current is output from
the generator. When the power transistor in the ECM turns
OFF, output voltage gets adjusted to about 14.7 V. When gen
-
erator output voltage is about 14.7 V, generator outputs current
to produce electricity. In case electric load is generated sud
-
denly, ECM controls generator G terminal's On-duty to limit the
sudden increase in generator load due to generation and thus
prevents change in idle speed.
