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.

D. Injector characteristic curve for rail pressure
The fuel injection curve is also called injection characteristic curve as shown above. The amount of
injected fuel is proportional to the square root of injection period and rail pressure.

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 â–¶
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.

D. Bypass control for EGR cooler
Cooler temperature â–¶
When the coolant temperature is below 70℃, the exhaust gas is bypassed the EGR cooler.
Exhaust gas temperature â–¶
When the exhaust gas tem
perature is below 300℃, the exhaust gas is bypassed the EGR cooler
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 D20DTR 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.

(11) Wide band oxygen sensor control
A. Overview
For diesel engine, combustion is not performed at the optimum (theoretically correct) air-fuel ratio and
the oxygen concentration is thin in most cases. So the wide-band oxygen sensor is used for this kind o
f
engine, and this sensor is a little different from the one that used for gasoline engine. The combustion
in diesel engine is controlled by fuel injection volume. Therefore, the wide band oxygen sensor should
be used in diesel engine. This sensor measures the air-fuel ratio in very wide range, and is also called
full range oxygen sensor.
The wide band oxygen sensor measures the oxygen density in exhaust gas and sends it to ECU
to control the EGR more precisely. -

A. Overview of cooling fan and A/C compressor
The cooling system maintains the engine temperature at an efficient level during all engine operating
conditions. 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. The heat from automatic transmission is also cooled down through
the radiator by circulating the oil through the oil pump. ECU controls the electric cooling fans with three
cooling fan relays to improve the engine torque and air conditioning performance.
