CHARGING SYSTEM
1. Segment Conductor Type Generator
A compact and lightweight segment conductor type generator that generates high amperage output in a
highly efficient manner is used.
This generator has a joined segment conductor system in which multiple segment conductors are welded
together to form the stator. Compared to the conventional winding system, the electrical resistance is
reduced due to the shape of the segment conductors, and their arrangement helps to make the generator
compact.

STARTING SYSTEM
1. General
A compact and lightweight PS (Planetary reduction-Segment conductor motor) type starter is used.
Because the PS type starter contains an armature that uses square-shaped conductors, and its surface
functions as a commutator, it has resulted in both improving its output torque and reducing its overall
length.
In place of the field coil used in the conventional type starter, the PS type starter uses two types of
permanent magnets: main magnets and interpolar magnets. The main magnets and interpolar magnets
have been efficiently arranged to increase the magnetic flux and to shorten the length of the yoke.

2. Construction
Instead of constructing the armature coil with conventional type round-shaped conductor wires, the PS
type starter uses square conductors. With this type of construction, the same conditions that are realized
by winding numerous round-shaped conductor wires can be achieved without increasing the mass. As a
result, the output torque has been increased, and the armature coil has been made more compact.
Because the surface of the square-shaped conductors that are used in the armature coil functions as a
commutator, the overall length of the PS type starter has been shortened.
Instead of the field coils used in the conventional type starter, the PS type starter uses two types of
permanent magnets: the main magnets and the interpolar magnets. The main and interpolar magnets are
arranged alternately inside the yoke, allowing the magnetic flux that is generated between the main and
interpolar magnets to be added to the magnetic flux that is generated by the main magnets.
In addition to increasing the amount of magnetic flux, this construction shortens the overall length of the
yoke.

Construction
1) VVT-i Controller
This controller consists of the housing driven by the timing chain and the vane fixed on the intake
camshaft.
The oil pressure sent from the advance or retard side path at the intake camshaft causes rotation in the
VVT-i controller vane circumferential direction to vary the intake valve timing continuously.
When the engine is stopped, the intake camshaft will be in the most retarded state to ensure startability.
When hydraulic pressure is not applied to the VVT-i controller immediately after the engine has been
started, the lock pin locks the movement of the VVT-i controller to prevent a knocking noise.
2) Camshaft Timing Oil Control Valve
This camshaft timing oil control valve controls the spool valve position in accordance with the duty-cycle
control from the ECM. This allows hydraulic pressure to be applied to the VVT-i controller advance or
retard sides. When the engine is stopped, the camshaft timing oil control valve is in the most retarded
state.

9. Fuel Pump Control
A fuel cut control is used to stop the fuel pump when the SRS airbag is deployed at the front collision. In this
system, the airbag deployment signal from the airbag sensor is detected by the ECM, which turns OFF the
circuit opening relay.
After the fuel cut control has been activated, turning the ignition switch from OFF to ON cancels the fuel cut
control, and the engine can be restarted.
