ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
1. IGNITION SYSTEM
This ignition system does not use a conventional distributor and coil. It uses a crankshaft
position sensor input to the Engine Control Module (ECM).
The ECM then determines Electronic Spark Timing (EST) and triggers the electronic ignition
system ignition coil.
This type of distributorless ignition system uses a “waste spark” method of spark
distribution. Each cylinder is paired with the cylinder that is opposite it (1-6 or 2-5 or 3-4).
The spark occurs simultaneously in the cylinder coming upon the compression stroke and in the
cylinder coming up on the exhaust stroke.
The cylinder on the exhaust stroke requires very little of the available energy tofire the spark
plug.
The remaining energy is available to the spark plug in the cylinder on the compression stroke.
These systems use the EST signal from the ECM to control the EST. The ECM uses the
following information:
Engine load (mass air flow sensor).
Engine temperature.
Intake air temperature.
Crankshaft position.
Engine speed (rpm). -

BRAKS SYSTEM

4) Master Cylinder
The brake master cylinder is designed to
convert the force from the brake maste
r
cylinder to the high hydraulic pressure. The
brake system uses the tandem type master
cylinder with in-line 2 pistons.
The in-line 2 pistons generate the hydraulic
pressure. The piston cup on the piston keeps
the sealing conditions in cylinder and
prevents the oil leaks. The hydraulic
pressure generated by the primary piston is
delivered to the front wheels, and the
hydraulic pressure generated by the
secondary piston is delivered to the rea
r
wheels.
5) Brake Booster
The brake booster is a power assist device for brake system. It relieves the pedal depressing
force by using the pressure difference between the vacuum pressure generated by vacuum
pump in intake manifold and the atmospheric pressure.
▶Pressure distribution at working
When depressing the brake pedal, the push
rod (1) in booster pushes the poppet (2) and
valve plunger (3). The poppet (2) pushes the
power piston seat (5) resulting in closing the
vacuum valve (9). The chamber (A) and (B)
in power cylinder are isolated and the valve
plunger (3) is separated from the poppet (2).
And then the air valve (6) opens and ai
r
flows into the chamber (B) through filter.
Then, the power piston (5) pushes the
master cylinder push rod (7) to assist the
brake operation.
▶Pressure distribution after working
When releasing the brake pedal, the valve
plunger (3) returns back to the original
position by return spring (4) and the air valve
(6) closes. At this time, the vacuum valve (9)
opens and the pressure difference between
chamber (A) and (B) in power cylinder is
eliminated. Accordingly, the power piston (5)
returns back to original position by the
reaction of master cylinder (10) and the
diaphragm return spring (8).

POWER STEERING SYSTEM

4. OVERVIEW
The power steering system consists of pump, oil reservoir, rack and pinion gear. The power
steering pump is a vane type and delivers hydraulic pressure to operate the power steering
system. The pressure relief valve in pump controls the discharging pressure.
The rotary valve in rack and pinion gear directs the oil from the power steering pump to one
side of rack piston.
The integrated rack piston converts the hydraulic pressure to linear movement.
The operating force of rack moves the wheels through tie rod, tie rod end and steering knuckle.
Even though the hydraulic pressure cannot be generated, a driver can steer the vehicle without
power assist but it needs very high steering force.
In this case, the operating force of steering wheel is conveyed to pinion, and the movement o
f
pinion moves the rack through pinion gear combined to rack gear.

POWER STEERING SYSTEM
3. POWER STEERING PUMP
The vane type pump that is connected to engine by belt is used for the power steering system.
This pump generates and controls a proper hydraulic pressure and flows by using the flow
control valve and pressure relief valve.
The flow control valve regulates the excessive amount of discharging oil. When the steering
wheel is stationary or the oil circuit is blocked, the pressure relief valve returns the ove
r
pressurized oil to the oil reservoir.
4. OIL RESERVOIR
The oil reservoir sends the oil to the power steering pump and receives the oil from the power
steering gear.
The oil level in the reservoir depends on the steering wheel positions. therefore, measure the oil
level when the steering wheel is positioned at straight ahead direction (neutral).
