(4) Maintenance
If the charge warning lamp ( ) on the instrument cluster comes on while driving, there is a
malfunction in the charge system including the battery. Therefore, carrying out the system check
is needed.
Make sure that the battery cables are firmly connected.
If the terminals are corroded, clean them with a wire brush or sandpapers.
Always disconnect the battery cables with the ignition key removed. When disconnecting the
battery cables with the ignition key turned to ON or ACC position, several electric units can
be damaged due to sudden voltage change.
Check the battery for crack, damage or fluid leaks. Replace it if necessary.
Wipe out the battery fluid on the battery surface using a rubber glove and a clean cloth
wetted with soapy water. -

Alternator
The alternator charges the battery and
supplies power to each electric unit by
converting the mechanical energy to the
electrical energy.
1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1) Overview
The charge system is designed to supply electrical energy to the vehicle while driving, and supplies a
constant direct current voltage by converting mechanical rotational movement to electrical energy.
The voltage regulator on the back of the alternator controls the generated voltage in all rotating ranges
and adjusts the system voltage according to the electric load and ambient temperature change.
2) System Layout (Locations)
Battery
It converts the chemical energy to the
electrical energy and supplies power to
the corresponding electric units when
starting the engine.

2) Charging
The alternator uses a new regulator which has three diodes. It consists of the delta stator, rectifier
bridge, slip ring and brush.
Charging time according to vehicle conditions and environment ▶
Specification: Charging a fully depleted high-
capacity battery takes twice or more as long
as charging a fully depleted battery for small
vehicles.
Temperature: The lower the temperature is,
the longer the time taken to charge the
battery. When connecting the battery charger
to the cold battery, the amount of current the
battery can accept initially is very small. As the
battery gets warmer, it can accept more
current.
Charging capacity: Charging a battery with a low-capacity charger takes longer time than
charging with a high-capacity charger.
Charging status: Charging a fully depleted battery takes twice or more as long as charging a half-
depleted battery. Since the electrolyte in a fully depleted battery consists of nearly pure water and
conductor, only a very small amount of current can be accepted by the battery initially. The
charging current increases as the amount of acids in the electrolyte is increased by the charging
current.

4) Operation
Glow plug is installed in the cylinder head. It enhances the cold starting performance and reduces
the exhaust gas during cold starting.
ECU receives the data (engine rpm, coolant temperature, vehicle speed) through CAN lines.
Based on the data, GCU controls the pre-glow, cranking and post-glow. It also checks the glow
plugs, and sends the result to ECU.
(1) Temperature/Current Properties of GCU
GCU increases the temperature of glow plug very rapidly (approx. 2 seconds up to
1000°C)
FETs (similar to transistor) for each cylinder are integrated in GCU. During the pre-
glow period, battery voltage is supplied to the glow plugs directly to heat them rapidly.
After getting the desired temperature by pre-glowing, the temperature is controlled by
duty ratio. Step 1:
Step 2 & 3:
Step 4:
This shows the supplying voltage and time by GCU in each step. The step 4 is the period to
keep the temperature. -Step 1: I1
Step 2: I2
Step 3: I3
Step 4: I4

(2) Pre-heating time control based on battery voltage
GCU monitors the battery voltage. If it is low, GCU extends the pre-heating time.
GCU monitors the energy to glow plugs (the amount of pre-heating energy is always same). -

GCU monitors the battery voltage. If it is low, GCU extends the pre-heating time to get enough
energy. -

C. Idle Speed Controller
The idle speed controller consists of 2 principal modules:
The first module determines the required idle speed according to:
* The operating conditions of the engine (coolant temperature, gear engaged)
* Any activation of the electrical consumers (power steering, air conditioning, others)
* The battery voltage
* The presence of any faults liable to interface with the rail pressure control or the injection control. In
this case, increase the idle speed to prevent the engine from stalling.
The second module is responsible for providing closed loop control of the engine's idle speed by
adapting the minimum fuel according to the difference between the required idle speed and the
engine speed. -

D. Flow Limitation
The flow limitation strategy is based on the following strategies:
The flow limitation depending on the filling of the engine with air is determined according to the
engine speed and the air flow. This limitation allows smoke emissions to be reduced during
stabilized running.
The flow limitation depending on the atmospheric pressure is determined according to the engine
speed and the atmospheric pressure. It allows smoke emissions to be reduced when driving at
altitude.
The full load flow curve is determined according to the gear engaged and the engine speed. It
allows the maximum torque delivered by the engine to be limited.
A performance limitation is introduced if faults liable to upset the rail pressure control or the
injection control are detected by the system. In this case, and depending on the gravity of the fault,
the system activates: -

-
Reduced fuel logic 1: Guarantees 75 % of the performance without limiting the engine speed.
Reduced fuel logic 2: Guarantees 50 % of the performance with the engine speed limited to
3,000 rpm.
Reduce fuel logic 3: Limits the engine speed to 2,000 rpm.
The system chooses the lowest of all values.
A correction depending on the coolant temperature is added to the flow limitation. This correction makes
it possible to reduce the mechanical stresses while the engine is warming up.
The correction is determined according to the coolant temperature, the engine speed and the time which
has passed since starting.
E. Superchager Flow Demand
The supercharge flow is calculated according to the engine speed and the coolant temperature. A
correction depending on the air temperature and the atmospheric pressure is made in order to increase
the supercharge flow during cold starts. It is possible to alter the supercharge flow value by adding a flow
offset with the aid of the diagnostic tool

(13) PTC heater control
A. Overview
The supplementary electrical heater is installed in DI engine equipped vehicle as a basic equipment. The
PTC system is operated according to two temperature values measured at the coolant temperature
sensor and HFM sensor. This device is mounted in the heater air outlet and increase the temperature of
air to the passenger compartment. Because PTC system is heated by electrical power, high capacity
alternator is required. PTC does not operate during engine cranking, while the battery voltage is lower
than 11 V or during preheating process of glow plugs.
