MDP (Minimum Drive Pulse ) refers to the
minimum power supply pulse for injection
which the injector can perform. It is possible
to control the fuel volume for each injector
accurately through correct learning for the
MDP value. The basic process of MDP
learning is that the pulse slightly higher than
MDP is supplied and then (b) the vibration
generated from the cylinder is detected. The
knock sensor detects the vibration from the
engine after a small volume of fuel is injected.
And the time interval between the points of
injection and vibration is measured so that
MDP can be learned. MDP learning is helpful
to prevent engine vibration, high emission and
power reduction through performing
calibration for the old injectors. During MDP
learning, a little vibration and noise can be
occur for a while. This is because the fuel
pressure is increased instantaneously and the
exact injection value is not input, so that the
exact engine vibration timing can be
detected.
(6) MDP Learning Control
A. MDP Learning
When the pulse value that the injector starts injection is measured, it is called minimum drive pulse
(MDP). Through MDP controls, can correct pilot injections effectively. Pilot injection volume is very
small, 1 to 2 mm/str, so precise control of the injector can be difficult if it gets old. So there
needs MDP learning to control the very small volume precisely through learning according to
getting older injectors.
Control the fuel injection volume precisely by MDP learning even for the old injector.
ECU corrects the pilot injection effectively by MDP control.
MDP learning is performed by the signal from knock sensor. -
-
- The system measures the pulse at initial injection to reduce the engine vibration.

The variable swirl valve actuator operates
when turning the ignition switch ON/OFF
position to open/close the swirl valve. In this
period, the soot will be removed and the
learning for swirl valve position is performed.
Swirl: This is the twisted (radial) air flow along the cylinder wall during the intake stroke.
This stabilizes the combustion even in lean air-fuel mixture condition.
Swirl valve
E. Features
Swirl and air intake efficiency
To generate the swirl, the intake port should be serpentine design. This makes the resistance
in air flow. The resistance in air flow in engine high speed decreases the intake efficiency.
Eventually, the engine power is also decreased, Thus, the swirl operation is deactivated in high
speed range to increase the intake efficiency.
Relationship between swirl and EGR
To reduce Nox, it is essential to increase EGR ratio. However, if EGR ratio is too high, the PM
also could be very higher. And, the exhaust gas should be evenly mixed with newly aspired air.
Otherwise, PM and CO are dramatically increased in highly concentrated exhaust gas range
and EGR ratio could not be increased beyond a certain limit. If the swirl valve operates in this
moment, the limit of EGR ratio will be higher. -
-
F. Relationship between swirl and fuel injection pressure
The injector for DI engine uses the multi hole design. For this vehicle, there are 8 holes in injector.
If the swirl is too strong, the injection angles might be overlapped and may cause the increased
PM and insufficient engine power. Also, if the injection pressure is too high during strong swirl, the
injection angles might be overlapped. Therefore, the system may decreases the fuel injection
pressure when the swirl is too strong.

4. DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURE
1) Oil Leak Diagnosis
Most fluid oil leaks are easily located and repaired by visually finding the leak and replacing or
repairing the necessary parts. On some occasions a fluid leak may be difficult to locate or repair.
The following procedures may help you in locating and repairing most leaks.
Finding the Leak ▶
Identify the fluid. Determine whether it is engine oil, automatic transmission fluid, power
steering fluid, etc.
Identify where the fluid is leaking from. -
-
After running the vehicle at normal operating temperature, park the vehicle over a large
sheet of paper.
Wait a few minutes.
You should be able to find the approximate location of the leak by the drippings on the
paper. ·
·
·
Visually check around the suspected component.
Check around all the gasket mating surfaces for leaks. A mirror is useful for finding leaks
in areas that are hard to reach.
If the leak still cannot be found, it may be necessary to clean the suspected area with a
degreaser, steam or spray solvent. -
-
Clean the area well.
Dry the area.
Operate the vehicle for several miles at normal operating temperature and varying
speeds.
After operating the vehicle, visually check the suspected component.
If you still cannot locate the leak, try using the powder or black light and dye method. ·
·
·
·
·
Clean the suspected area.
Apply an aerosol-type powder (such as foot powder) to the suspected area.
Operate the vehicle under normal operating conditoins.
Visually inspect the suspected component. You should be able to trace the leak path over
the white powder surface to the source. -
-
-
- Powder Method ▶

01-10
Black Light and Dye Method ▶
A dye and light kit is available for finding leaks, Refer to the manufacturer's directions when using
the kit.
Pour the specified amount of dye into the engine oil fill tube.
Operate the vehicle normal operating conditions as directed in the kit.
Direct the light toward the suspected area. The dyed fluid will appear as a yellow path
leading to the source. -
-
-
Once the origin of the leak has been pinpointed and traced back to its source, the cause of the
leak must be determined in order for it to be repaired properly.
If a gasket is replaced, but the sealing flange is bent, the new gasket will not repair the leak. The
bent flange must be repaired also. Before attempting to repair a leak, check for the following
conditions and correct them as they may cause a leak.Repairing the Leak ▶
Gaskets ▶
The fluid level/pressure is too high.
The crankcase ventilation system is malfunctioning.
The seal bore is damaged (scratched, burred or nicked).
The seal is damaged or worn.
Improper installation is evident.
There are cracks in the components.

1. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1) Exhaust System
When you are inspecting or replacing exhaust system components, make sure there is adequate
clearance from all points on the underbody to avoid possible
overheating of the floor panel and possible damage to the passenger compartment insulation
and trim materials.
Check the complete exhaust system and the nearby body areas and trunk lid for broken,
damaged, missing or mispositioned parts, open seams, holes, loose connections, or other
deterioration which could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the trunk may be an indication of a
problem in one of these areas. Any defects should be corrected immediately.
2) Catalytic Converter (Gasoline Engine)
When jacking or lifting the vehicle from the body side rails, be certain that the lift pads do not
contact the catalytic converter, as this could damage the catalytic converter.
Use of anything other than unleaded fuel will damage the catalyst in the catalytic converter. 1.
2.
Catalytic Converter Structure ▶
The Catalytic converter of monolith type consists
of 2 walled metal bodies which is made of
Cordierite. The principal element of converter
consists of the materials like Alumina or oxidized
Serume in order to apply to Ceramic Monolith.
Washer coat operates first, and catalytic metal
elements (Pt, Pd, Rh) operates to washer coat
next.
Monolith type is lighter than other types, easy to
manufacture and quickly approaches to proper
temperature. Washer coat is used to make a
contact surface with exhaust gas bigger by
adhering closely to small holes
of inner layer. If a lead compound or phosphorus
adheres to the surface and the temperature rises,
its surface is decreased. The total area of general
monolith converter is about 45, 000~500,000ft3.
(10 times of a football field) Generally
Alumina
(AL2 O3) is used as a raw materialand its 7
phases of gamma, delta, theta have big areas and
high stability for the temperature, and nowadays
gamma Alumina is used usually.

2. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1) General Description
The cooling system maintains the engine temperature at an efficient level during all engine
operating conditions.
When the engine is cold, the cooling system cools the engine slowly or not at all. This slow
cooling of the engine allows the engine to warm up quickly.
The cooling system includes a radiator and recovery subsystem, cooling fans, a thermostat and
housing, a water pump, and a water pump drive belt. The timing belt drives the water pump.
All components must function properly for the cooling system to operation. The water pump
draws the coolant from the radiator. The coolant then circulates through water jackets in the
engine block, the intake manifold, and the cylinder head. When the coolant reaches the operating
temperature of the thermostat, the thermostat opens. The coolant then goes back to the radiator
where it cools.
This system directs some coolant through the hoses to the heat core. This provides for heating
and defrosting.
The coolant reservoir is connected to the radiator to recover the coolant displaced by expansion
from the high temperatures. The coolant reservoir maintains the correct coolant level.
The cooling system for this vehicle has no radiator cap or filler neck. The coolant is added to the
cooling system through the coolant reservoir.
2) Radiator
This vehicle has a lightweight tube-and-fin aluminum radiator. Plastic tanks are mounted on the
upper and the lower sides of the radiator core.
On vehicles equipped with automatic transaxles, the transaxle fluid cooler lines run through the
radiator tank.
A radiator drain plug is on this radiator.
To drain the cooling system, open the drain plug.
3) Coolant Reservoir
The coolant reservoir is a transparent plastic reservoir, similar to the windshield washer reservoir.
The coolant reservoir is connected to the radiator by a hose and to the engine cooling system by
another hose.
As the vehicle is driven, the engine coolant heats and expands. The portion of the engine coolant
displaced by this expansion flows from the radiator and the engine into the coolant reservoir. The
air trapped in the radiator and the engine is degassed into the coolant reservoir.
When the engine stops, the engine coolant cools and contracts. The displaced engine coolant is
then drawn back into the radiator and the engine. This keeps the radiator filled with the coolant to
the desired level at all times and increases the cooling efficiency.
Maintain the coolant level between the MIN and MAX marks on the coolant reservoir when the
system is cold.

1. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1) Battey
The sealed battery is standard on all cars. There are no vent plugs in the cover.
The battery is completely sealed, except for two small vent holes in the sides.
These vent holes allow the small amount of gas produced in the battery to escape.
The battery has the following advantages over conventional batteries:
No water addition for the life of the battery.
Overcharge protection. If too much voltage is applied to the battery, it will not accept as much
current as a conventional battery.
In a conventional battery, the excess voltage will still try to charge the battery, leading
to gassing, which causes liquid loss.
Not as liable to self-discharge as a conventional battery. This is particularly important when a
battery is left standing for long periods of time.
More power available in a lighter, smaller case. ·
·
·
·
The battery has three major functions in the electrical system.
First, the battery provides a source of energy for cranking the engine.
Second, the battery acts as a voltage stabilizer for the electrical system. Finally, the battery
can, for a limited time, provide energy when the electrical demand exceeds the output of the
generator.

6) Alternator
Alternators are equipped with internal regulators.
Unlike three-wire generators, the alternator may be used with only two connections: battery
positive and an "D+" terminal to the charge indicator lamp.
As with other charging systems, the charge indicator lamp lights when the ignition switch is turned
to RUN, and goes out when the engine is running.
If the charge idicator is on with the engine running, a charging system defect is indicated. This
indicator light will glow at full brilliance for several kinds of defects as well as when the system
voltage is too high or too low.
The regulator voltage setting varies with temperature and limits the system voltage by controlling
rotor field current.
Achieve correct average field current for proper system voltage control by varying the on-off time.
At high speeds, the on-time may be 10 percent and the off-time 90 percent.
At low speeds, with high electrical loads, the on-time may be 90 percent and the off-time 10
percent.
7) Charging System
Generators use a new type of regulator that incorporates a diode trio.
A Delta stator, a rectifier bridge, and a rotor with slip rings and brushes are electrically similar
to earlier generators.
A conventional pulley and fan are used.
There is no test hole.
8) Starter
Wound field starter motors have pole pieces, arranged around the armature, which are energized
by wound field coils.
Enclosed shift lever cranking motors have the shift lever mechanism and the solenoid plunger
enclosed in the drive housing, protecting them from exposure to dirt, icy conditions, and
splashes.
In the basic circuit, solenoid windings are energized when the switch is closed.
The resulting plunger and shift lever movement causes the pinion to engage the engine flywheel
ring gear.
The solenoid main contacts close. Cranking then takes place.
When the engine starts, pinion overrun protects the armature from excessive speed until the
switch is opened, at which time the return spring causes the pinion to disengage.
To prevent excessive overrun, the switch should be released immediately after the engine starts.
