GDI -General Information13A-3
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Gasoline Direct Injection System consists
of sensors which detect the engine conditions,
the engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU
which controls the system based on
signals from these sensors, and actuators
which operate under the control of the
engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU .The engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU
carries out activities such as fuel injection
control, idle speed control and ignition timing
control. In addition, the engine-ECU or
engine-A/T-ECU is equipped with several
diagnosis modes which simplify troubleshooting
when a problem develops.
FUEL INJECTION CONTROL
The injector drive times and injector timing are
controlled so that the optimum air/fuel mixture
is supplied to the engine to correspond to the
continually-changing engine operation condi-
tions.
A single injector for each cylinder is mounted
at the cylinder head. The fuel is sent under
pressure from the fuel tank to the fuel pressure
regulator (low pressure) by the fuel pump (low
pressure). The pressure is regulated by the
fuel pressure regulator (low pressure) and the
fuel regulated is then sent to the fuel pump
(high pressure). The fuel under increased
pressure generated by the fuel pump (high
pressure) is then regulated by the fuel pressure
regulator (high pressure) and is then distributed
to each of the injectors via the delivery pipes.Fuel injection is normally carried out once for
each cylinder for every two rotations of the
crankshaft. The firing order is 1-2-3-4-5-6. This
is called sequential fuel injection.
When the engine is cold or under a severe
load, the “open-loop” control keeps the air/fuel
ratio at a richer than usual level to maintain
driveability. When the engine is under low or
medium loads, the air/fuel ratio becomes leaner
to reduce fuel consumption. When the engine
is running at medium or high loads after having
warmed up, the “closed-loop” control uses the
signal from the oxygen sensor to keep the
air/fuel ratio at the optimum theoretical level.
THROTTLE VALVE OPENING ANGLE CONTROL
This system controls throttle valve opening
angle electronically. The engine-ECU
or engine-A/T-ECU determines how
deeply the accelerator pedal is depressed by
means of the accelerator position sensor (APS).
Then the engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU sends a target value of the
throttle valve opening angle to the throttle valve
controller. The throttle valve control servo
operates the throttle valve so that it reaches
the target opening angle.
IDLE SPEED CONTROL
This system maintains engine idle speed at
a predetermined condition by controlling the
air flow that passes through the throttle valve
according to engine idling condition and engine
loads at idling.
The engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU
operates the throttle valve control servoso that engine speed is maintained within a
map value. The map value is predetermined
according to engine coolant temperature and
air-conditioning load.
IGNITION TIMING CONTROL
The power transistor located in the ignition
primary circuit turns ON and OFF to control
the primary current flow to the ignition coil. This
controls the ignition timing in order to provide
the optimum ignition timing with respect to the
engine operating conditions. The ignition timingis determined by the engine-ECU or
engine-A/T-ECU from the engine speed,
intake air volume, engine coolant temperature,
atmospheric pressure and injection timing
(intake stroke or compression stroke).

NOTE
1. If the engine warning lamp illuminates because of a malfunction of the engine-ECU, communication
between MUT-
IIand the engine-ECU is impossible. In this case, the diagnosis code cannot be read.
2. After the engine-ECU has detected a malfunction, the engine warning lamp illuminates when the
engine is next turned on and the same malfunction is re-detected. However, for items marked with
a“
L” in the diagnosis code number column, the engine warning lamp illuminates only on the first
detection of the malfunction.
If diagnosis code P0120, P0220, P0225 or P1225 is set, the engine warning lamp will flash. If the
1st and 2nd channels of the throttle postion sensor or the acccelerator pedal position sensor fail
at the same time, the engine warning lamp will also flash.
3. After the engine warning lamp illuminates, it will be switched off under the following conditions.
(1) When the engine-ECU monitored the power train malfunction three times* and met set condition
requirements, it detected no malfunction.
*: In this case, “one time” indicates from engine start to stop.
(2) For misfiring malfunction, when driving conditions (engine speed, engine coolant temperature,
etc.) are similar to those when the malfunction was first recorded.
