2) ECU Control
(1) Function
a. ECU Function
ECU receives and analyzes signals from various sensors and then modifies those signals into
permissible voltage levels and analyzes to control respective actuators.
ECU microprocessor calculates injection period and injection timing proper for engine piston
speed and crankshaft angle based on input data and stored specific map to control the engine
power and emission gas.
Output signal of the ECU microprocessor drives pressure control valve to control the rail pressure
and activates injector solenoid valve to control the fuel injection period and injection timing; so
controls various actuators in response to engine changes. Auxiliary function of ECU has adopted
to reduce emission gas, improve fuel economy and enhance safety, comforts and conveniences.
For example, there are EGR, booster pressure control, autocruise (export only) and immobilizer
and adopted CAN communication to exchange data among electrical systems (automatic T/M
and brake system) in the vehicle fluently. And Scanner can be used to diagnose vehicle status
and defectives.

water and electromagnetism and there should be no mechanical shocks.
To control the fuel volume precisely under repeated injections, high current should be applied
instantly so there is injector drive circuit in the ECU to generate necessary current during injector
drive stages.
Current control circuit divides current applying time (injection time) into full-in-current-phase and
hold-current-phase and then the injectors should work very correctly under every working
condition.
b. Control Function
Controls by operating stages
To make optimum combustion under every operating stage, ECU should calculate proper
injection volume in each stage by considering various factors.
Starting injection volume control
During initial starting, injecting fuel volume will be calculated by function of temperature and
engine cranking speed. Starting injection continues from when the ignition switch is turned to
ignition position to till the engine reaches to allowable minimum speed.
Driving mode control
If the vehicle runs normally, fuel injection volume will be calculated by accelerator pedal travel
and engine rpm and the drive map will be used to match the drivers inputs with optimum
engine power. -

(3) Fuel Pressure Control
Fuel pressure is controlled by IMV opening according to the calculated value by ECU.
Pressure in the fuel rail is determined according to engine speed and load on the engine. ▶
When engine speed and load are high
The degree of turbulence is very great and the fuel can be injected at very high pressure in
order to optimize combustion.
When engine speed and load are low
The degree of turbulence is low. If injection pressure is too high, the nozzle's penetration will
be excessive and part of the fuel will be sprayed directly onto the sides of the cylinder,
causing incomplete combustion. So there occurs smoke and damages engine durability. -
-
Fuel pressure is corrected according to air temperature, coolant temperature and atmospheric
pressure and to take account of the added ignition time caused by cold running or by high
altitude driving. A special pressure demand is necessary in order to obtain the additional flow
required during starts. This demand is determined according to injected fuel and coolant
temperature.
Open loop determines the current which needs to be sent to the actuator in order to obtain the
flow demanded by the ECU. ▶
Closed loop will correct the current value depending on the difference between the pressure
demand and the pressure measured. ▶
If the pressure is lower than the demand, current is reduced so that the fuel sent to the high
pressure pump is increased.
If the pressure is higher than the demand, current is increased so that the fuel sent to the high
pressure pump is reduced. -

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. -

injector. -

This is done periodically under certain operating conditions. When the resetting is finished, the
new minimum pulse value replaces the value obtained during the previous resetting. The first MDP
value is provided by the C3I. Each resetting then allows the closed loop of the MDP to be updated
according to the deviation of the injector.
B. Detection of leaks in the cylinders
The accelerometer is also used to detect any injector which may have stuck open. The detection
principle is based on monitoring the ratio. If there is a leak in the cylinder, the accumulated fuel
self-ignites as soon as the temperature and pressure conditions are favorable (high engine
speed, high load and small leak).
This combustion is set off at about 20 degrees before TDC and before main injection.
The ratio therefore increases considerably in the detection window. It is this increase which allows
the leaks to be detected. The threshold beyond which a fault is signaled is a percentage of the
maximum possible value of the ratio.
Because of the severity of the recovery process (engine shut-down), the etection must be
extremely robust.
An increase in the ratio can be the consequence of various causes:
Pilot injection too much
Main combustion offset
Fuel leak in the cylinder -
-
-
If the ratio becomes too high, the strategy initially restricts the pilot injection flow and retards the
main injection. If the ratio remains high despite these interventions, this shows that a real leak is
present, a fault is signaled and the engine is shut down.
C. Detection of an accelerometer fault
This strategy permits the detection of a fault in the sensor or in the wiring loom connecting the
sensor to the ECU.
It is based on detection of the combustion. When the engine is idling, the detection window is set
too low for the combustion caused by the main injection. If the ratio increases, this shows that the
knock sensor is working properly, but otherwise a fault is signaled to indicate a sensor failure.
The recovery modes associated with this fault consist of inhibition of the pilot injection and
discharge through the injectors.

(8) Swirl control
A. Overview
Variable swirl valve ▶
The strong swirl caused by intake air is important element for anti-locking function in diesel
engine. The swirl control valve partially closes the intake port to generate the swirl according to the
engine conditions. When the engine load is in low or medium range, the swirl could not be
generated because the air flow is slow. To generate strong swirl, there are two passages in intake
manifold, and one of them has the valve to open and close the passage. When the valve closes
the passage, the air flow through the another passage will be faster, and the strong swirl will be
generated by the internal structure of the passage. This swirl makes the better mixture of air and
fuel, eventually the combustion efficiency in combustion chamber could be improved. This
provides the enhanced fuel consumption, power and EGR ratio.

(9) EGR control
A. Overview
The EGR (Electric-Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve reduces the NOx emission level by
recirculating some of the exhaust gas to the intake system.
To meet Euro-V regulation, the capacity and response rate of E-EGR valve in D20DTR engine
have been greatly improved. The EGR cooler with high capacity reduces the Nox, and the bypass
valve reduces the CO and HC due to EGR gas before warming up.
Also, the engine ECU adjusts the E-EGR opening by using the air mass signal through HFM
sensor. If the exhaust gas gets into the intake manifold when the EGR valve is open, the amount
of fresh air through HFM sensor should be decresed.

Otherwise, PM could be increased due to too low exhaust gas temperature.
E. Control elements for EGR system
Accelerator pedal (engine load) - Indicates the driver's intention and engine load. If the load
goes up, the EGR ratio is decreased.
T-MAP (boost pressure map stored in ECU) - Compensates the difference in boost pressure
by adjusting EGR ratio.
Engine rpm - Used as the signal for determining EGR operating range.
Coolant temperature - When the coolant temperature is low, NOx is decreased but PM could
be increased. So, to reduce PM, decrease EGR ratio when the coolant temperature is low.
Intake air mass and temperature - HFM sensor measures the intake air mass to calculate the
actual EGR volume. If the air mass is larger than programmed value in map, EGR ratio will be
higher.
EGR position sensor - Detects the actual opening angle of EGR valve and performs feedback
function according to PWM control by ECU.
Wide band oxygen sensor - Detects the oxygen volume in exhaust gas to check if the EGR
ratio is proper.
Electronic throttle body - Keeps EGR ratio to optimized level by controlling the throttle body in
EGR operating range (decreasing pressure in intake manifold). -

(10) E-VGT control
A. Overview
E-VGT (Electric-Variable Geometry Turbine) turbocharger system in D20DTF engine uses the
venturi effect that controls the flow rate of exhaust gas by adjusting the passage in turbine
housing. The newly adopted DC motor actuator (E-actuator) controls the E-VGT system more
precisely and faster. To get the high operating power from turbine, the ECU reduces the exhaust
gas passage In low speed range and increases it in high speed range.

In general, the boost pressure feedbacks the turbocharger operation and the boost temperature is
used for calculating the precise density.
