2. STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF ECU


1) Function of ECU
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.
Operating temperature range of ECU is normally -40 ~ +85°C and protected from factors
like oil, 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.

3. CONTROL FUNCTION OF ECU


▶ 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.

4. FUEL PRESSURE CONTROL


1) Fuel Pressure Control Elements
Pressure control consists of 2 principle modules.
- Determines rail pressure according to engine operating conditions.
- Controls IMV to make the rail pressure to reach to the required value.
Pressure in the fuel rail is determined according to engine speed and load on the engine. The
aim is to adapt the injection pressure to the engine's requirements.
- 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.

2) Fuel Pressure Control


Rail pressure is controlled by closed loop regulation of IMV. A mapping system - open loop -
determines the current which needs to be sent to the actuator in order to obtain the flow
demanded by the ECU. The 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.

5. FUEL INJECTION CONTROL


1) Fuel Injection Control
Injection control is used in order to determine the characteristics of the pulse which is sent to
the injectors.
Injection control consists as below.
- Injection timing
- Injection volume
- Translating fuel injection timing and injection volume into values which can be
interpreted by the injector driver.
· a reference tooth (CTP)
· the delay between this tooth and the start of the pulse (Toff)
· the pulse time (Ton)
▶ Main injection timing control
The pulse necessary for the main injection is determined as a function of the engine speed and
of the injected flow.
The elements are:
- A first correction is made according to the air and coolant temperatures.
This correction makes it possible to adapt the timing to the operating temperature of the
engine. When the engine is warm, the timing can be retarded to reduce the combustion
temperature and polluting emissions (NOx). When the engine is cold, the timing
advance must be sufficient to allow the combustion to begin correctly.
- A second correction is made according to the atmospheric pressure.
This correction is used to adapt the timing advance as a function of the atmospheric
pressure and therefore the altitude.
- A third correction is made according to the coolant temperature and the time which has
passed since starting.
This correction allows the injection timing advance to be increased while the engine is
warming up (initial 30 seconds). The purpose of this correction is to reduce the misfiring
and instabilities which are liable to occur after a cold start.
- A fourth correction is made according to the pressure error.
This correction is used to reduce the injection timing advance when the pressure in the
rail is higher than the pressure demand.
- A fifth correction is made according to the rate of EGR.
This correction is used to correct the injection timing advance as a function of the rate of
exhaust gas recirculation.
When the EGR rate increases, the injection timing advance must in fact be increased in
order to compensate for the fall in termperature in the cylinder.
During starting, the injection timing must be retarded in order to position the start of combustion
close to the TDC.
To do this, special mapping is used to determine the injection timing advance as a function of
the engine speed and of the water temperature. This requirement only concerns the starting
phase, since once the engine has started the system must re-use the mapping and the
corrections described previously.

▶ Pilot injection timing control


The pilot injection timing is determined as a function of the engine speed and of the total flow.
The elements are:
- A first correction is made according to the air and coolant temperatures.
This correction allows the pilot injection timing to be adapted to the operating
temperature of the engine.
- A second correction is made according to the atmospheric pressure.
This correction is used to adapt the pilot injection timing as a function of the atmospheric
pressure and therefore the altitude.
During the starting phase, the pilot injection timing is determined as a function of the engine
speed and of the coolant temperature.

6. FUEL FLOW CONTROL


1) Main Flow Control
The main flow represents the amount of fuel injected into the cylinder during the main injection.
The pilot flow represents the amount of fuel injected during the pilot injection.
The total fuel injected during 1 cycle (main flow + pilot flow) is determined in the following
manner.
: The driver's demand is compared with the value of the minimum flow determined by the idle
speed controller.
- When the driver depress the pedal, it is his demand which is taken into account by the
system in order to determine the fuel injected.
- When the driver release the pedal, the idle speed controller takes over to determine the
minimum fuel which must be injected into the cylinder to prevent the enigne from stalling.
It is therefore the greater of these 2 values which is retained by the system. This value is then
compared with the lower flow limit determined by the ASR trajectory control system. As soon as
the injected fuel becomes lower than the flow limit determined by the ASR trajectory control
system, the antagonistic torque (engine brake) transmitted to the drive wheels exceeds the
adherence capacity of the vehicle and there is therefore a risk of the drive wheels locking. The
system thus chooses the greater of these 2 values (main flow & pilot flow) in order to prevent
any loss of control of the vehicle during a sharp deceleration.
This value is then compared with the flow limit determined by the cruise control. As soon as the
injected fuel becomes lower than the flow limit determined by the cruise control, the vehicle's
speed falls below the value required by the driver. The system therefore chooses the greater of
these 2 values in order to maintain the speed at the required level.
This valve is then compared with the flow limit determined by the flow limitation strategy. This
strategy allows the flow to be limited as a function of the operating conditions of the engine. The
system therefore chooses the smaller of these 2 values in order to protect the engine. This
value is then compared with the fuel limit determined by the ASR trajectory control system.
As soon as the injected fuel becomes higher than the fuel limit determined by the ASR
trajectory control system, the engine torque transmitted to the wheels exceeds the adhesion
capacity of the vehicle and there is a risk of the drive wheels skidding. The system therefore
chooses the smaller of the two values in order to avoid any loss of control of the vehicle during
accelerations.
The anti-oscillation strategy makes it possible to compensate for fluctuations in engine speed
during transient conditions. This strategy leads to a fuel correction which is added to the total
fuel of each cylinder. The correction is determined before each injection as a function of the
instantaneous engine speed.

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM


ACTYON 2008.07

A switch makes it possible to change over from the supercharge fuel to the total fuel according
to the state of the engine.
- Until the stating phase has finished, the system uses the supercharged fuel.
- Once the engine changes to normal operation, the system uses the total fuel.
The main fuel is obtained by subtracting the pilot injection fuel from the total fuel.
A mapping determines the minimum fuel which can control an injector as a function of the rail
pressure. As soon as the main fuel falls below this value, the fuel demand changes to 0
because in any case the injector is not capable of injecting the quantity demand.

ACTYON 2008.07
1491-01 09-13

2) Driver Demand

The driver demand is the translation of the pedal position into the fuel demand. It is calculated
as a function of the pedal position and of the engine speed. The driver demand is filtered in
order to limit the hesitations caused by rapid changes of the pedal position. A mapping
determines the maximum fuel which can be injected as a function of the driver demand and the
rail pressure. Since the flow is proportional to the injection time and to the square root of the
injection pressure, it is necessary to limit the flow according to the pressure in order to avoid
extending the injection for too long into the engine cycle. The system compares the driver
demand with this limit and chooses the smaller of the 2 values. The driver demand is then
corrected according to the coolant temperature. This correction is added to the driver demand.

ACTYON 2008.07

3) 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, the accelerated idle speed is activated to prevent the
engine from stalling when operating in degraded mode.
· It is possible to increase or to reduce the required idle speed with the aid of the
diagnostic tool.
- 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.

4) 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 these 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.
▶ 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.

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM


ACTYON 2008.07
1491-01 09-15

5) Pilot Flow Control


The pilot flow represents the amount of fuel injected into the cylinder during the pilot injection.
This amount is determined according to the engine speed and the total flow.
- A first correction is made according to the air and water temperature.
This correction allows the pilot flow to be adapted to the operating temperature of the
engine. When the engine is warm, the ignition time decreases because the end-of-
compression temperature is higher. The pilot flow can therefore be reduced because there
is obviously less combustion noise when the engine is warm.
- A second correction is made according to the atmospheric pressure.
This correction is used to adapt the pilot flow according to the atmospheric pressure and
therefore the altitude.
During starting, the pilot flow is determined on the basis of the engine speed and the coolant
temperature.

6) Cylinder Balancing Strategy


▶ Balancing of the point to point flows
The pulse of each injector is corrected according to the difference in instantaneous speed
measured between 2 successive injectors.
- The instantaneous speeds on two successive injections are first calculated.
- The difference between these two instantaneous speeds is then calculated.
- Finally, the time to be added to the main injection pulse for the different injectors is
determined. For each injector, this time is calculated according to the initial offset of the
injector and the instantaneous speed difference.
▶ Detection of an injector which has stuck closed
The cylinder balancing strategy also allows the detection of an injector which has stuck closed.
The difference in instantaneous speed between 2 successive injections then exceeds a
predefined threshold. In this case, a fault is signaled by the system.

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM


ACTYON 2008.07
09-16 1491-01

7) Accelerometer Strategy
▶ Resetting the pilot injection
The accelerometer is used to reset the pilot injection flow in closed loop for each injector. This
method allows the correction of any injector deviations over a period of time. The principle of
use of the accelerometer is based on the detection of the combustion noises.
The sensor is positioned in such a way as to receive the maximum signal for all the cylinders.
The raw signals from the accelerometer are processed to obtain a variable which quantifies the
intensity of the combustion. This variable, known as the ratio, consists of the ratio between the
intensity of the background noise and the combustion noise.
- A first window is used to establish the background noise level of the accelerometer
signal for each cylinder. This window must therefore be positioned at a moment when
there cannot be any combustion.
- The second window is used to measure the intensity of the pilot combustion. Its position
is such that only the combustion noises produced by the pilot injection are measured . It
is therefore placed just before the main injection.
The accelerometer does not allow any evaluation of the quantity injected. However, the pulse
value will be measured when the injector starts injection and this pulse value is called the MDP
(Minimum Drive Pulse). On the basis of this information, it is possible to efficiently correct the
pilot flows. The pilot injection resetting principle therefore consists of determining the MDP, in
other words the pulse corresponding to the start of the increase in value of the ratio (increase of
vibration due to fuel combustion).

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 C2I. Each resetting then allows the closed loop of the MDP to be
updated according to the deviation of the injector.

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM


ACTYON 2008.07
1491-01 09-17

▶ 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 strong
- 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.

▶ 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 accelerometer 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.

7. INDIVIDUAL INJECTOR CALIBRATION (C2I)


Injected fuel is proportional to square root of injection time and rail pressure.
It is function between pulse and rail pressure and fuel injection curve is called injector
characteristics curve having the following shape.

Common rail injectors are very accurate components. They are able to inject fuel delivery
between 0.5 to 100 mg/str under pressure varying from 150 to 1600 bar.
This high level of accuracy requires very low machining tolerances (few ㎛).
Nevertheless, due to the machining dispersion, the loss of charge through the functional
orifices, the friction between moving parts and electromagnetic field level are different from one
injector to the other. So, the difference of fuel delivery for the same pressure and the same
pulse can reach 5 mg/str from one injector to the other. It is impossible to control efficiently the
engine with such a dispersion between the different injectors. It is necessary to add a correction
that allows injecting the demanded fuel delivery whatever the initial hydraulic characteristics of
the injector is. The method consists in correcting the pulse that is applied to the injector with an
offset that depends on the initial hydraulic map of the injector. So, the pulse should be
corrected according to characteristics of each injector.

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM


ACTYON 2008.07
1491-01 09-19

C2I is composed of models on these characteristics of injectors.


C2I consists of 16-digit composed of numbers from 1 to 9 and alphabets from A to F. ECU
remembers C2I, characteristics of each injector, to make the most optimal fuel injection.
- When replacing the injector, C2I code on the top of new injector should be input into ECU
because the ECU is remembering the injector's C2I value. If C2I is not input, engine power
drops and occurs irregular combustion.
- When ECU is replaced, C2I code of every injector should be input. If not, cannot
accelerate the vehicle even when the accelerator pedal is depressed.

8. MINIMUM DRIVE PULSE (MDP) LEARNING


When the pulse value that the injector starts injection is measured, it is called mininum drive
pulse (MDP). Through MDP controls, can correct pilot injections effectively. Pilot injection
volume is very small, 1 ~ 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.

CONFIGURATION AND FUNCTIONS


1491-01 ECU
1) Overview
According to input signals from various sensors, engine ECU calculates driver's demand
(position of the accelerator pedal) and then controls overall operating performance of engine
and vehicle on that time.
ECU receives signals from sensors through data line and then performs effective engine air-fuel
ratio controls based on those signals.
Engine speed is measured by crankshaft speed (position) sensor and camshaft speed
(position) sensor determines injection order and ECU detects driver's pedal position (driver's
demand) through electrical signal that generated by variable resistance changes in accelerator
pedal sensor.
Air flow (hot film) sensor detects intake air volume and then transmits to ECU. Especially, the
engine ECU controls the air-fuel ratio by recognizing instant air volume changes through air
flow sensor to pursue low emission gases (EGR valve control). Furthermore, the ECU uses
signals from coolant temperature and air temperature sensor, booster pressure sensor and
atmospheric pressure sensor as compensation signal to respond to injection start and pilot
injection set values and to various operations and variables.

2010-04 ACCELERATOR PADAL SENSOR


When Depressing the Accelerator Pedal
Location of Accelerator Pedal Sensor
and Brake Pedal Simultaneously

Accelerator pedal sensor changes accelerator pedal position into electrical signal and then
sends to ECU to let know the driver's demand. There are 2 sensors in the accelerator pedal
sensor. Accelerator pedal No.1 (ACC 1)
sensor signal determines fuel injection volume and injection timing during driving, and
accelerator pedal No. 2 (ACC 2) sensor signal compares whether the No. 1 sensor signal value
is correct.
If accelerator pedal No. 1 and 2 sensors are defective, ECU remembers defect code, and
acceleration responses are getting bad and engine rpm hardly increases.

- When depressing the accelerator pedal and brake pedal simultaneously while driving, the
acceleration response will be diminished abruptly and cannot drive with over 70 km/h even
though depressing the accelerator pedal to its end. At this time, the trouble code of "P-
1124 Accelerator pedal sensor stuck" is stored into ECU. If depressing the accelerator
pedal over 3 times, it will be resumed to normal condition.

1431-07 COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR


Output Characteristics of Coolant
Coolant Temperature Sensor
Temperature Sensor

Coolant temperature sensor is a NTC resister that sends coolant temperature to ECU.
NTC resister has characteristics that if the engine temperature rises, the resistance lowers so
the ECU detects lowering signal voltages.
If the fuel injected into the engine through injector has more turbulence, then combusts very
well. However, if engine temperature is too low, the fuel injected as foggy state forms big
compounds causing incomplete combustion. So the sensor detects coolant temperature and
changes coolant temperature changes into voltage then sends to ECU to increase the fuel
volume during cold start for better starting. And detects engine overheating for fuel volume
reduction to protect the engine.
ECU functions as below with coolant temperature sensor signals.
- When engine is cold, controls fuel volume to correct idle speed.
- When engine is overheated, controls electrical fan and A/C compressor to protect the
engine.
- Sends information for emission control.

1) Brake Switch
Brake switch detects brake pedal operations and then sends to engine ECU. It has dual
structure with 2 combined switches and there are brake switch 1 and 2. When these 2 signals
are input, engine ECU recognizes as normal brake signals. These switch signals are related
with accelerator pedal sensor operations and used to control the fuel volume during braking. It
means there are no problems in operating accelerator pedal when the brake pedal is operated
but the fuel volume reduces if operates brake pedal while the accelerator pedal is depressed.

2) Clutch Pedal Switch


Clutch pedal switch is installed on the upper of the clutch and sends clutch pedal operations to
