EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) VALVE
An EGR valve is installed in the EGR valve support.The EGR
valve controls EGR flow volume using the stepper motor
method and reduces exhaust gas (NOx) and fuel consumption.
The EGR valve drives the stepper motor based on the signal
from ECM. When stepper motor rotor turns in clockwise or
anti-clockwise direction, the shaft fitted with a rotor and a screw
expands and contracts and the movement of the shaft causes
the valve to go up and down. Thus, EGR path gap is controlled
minutely. The stepper motor turns 15
° per step. The stepper
motor turns forward or back only up to the angle dictated by the
number of pulse signals (number of steps) from the ECM. In
other words, increase and decrease of the EGR flow volume
depends on the number of signals (number of steps) from
ECM. ECM changes current flow to the 4 coils (A, B, C, D) in
the stepper motor in sequence according to the phase pattern
in the following chart in order to turn the stepper motor rotor.
Open valve changes phase in order of 0
→ 1 → 2 → 3 → 0. Close
valve changes phase in order of 3
→ 2 → 1 → 0 → 3.

SENSOR
MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)13A-10
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The engine coolant temperature sensor is installed in the ther-
mostat housing. Engine coolant temperature sensor uses ther-
mistor's resistance change to detect coolant temperature and
output the voltage according to coolant temperature to ECM.
ECM uses this output voltage to appropriately control fuel injec
-
tion volume, idle speed and ignition timing. Sensor properties
are as shown in the figure.
.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
The throttle position sensor is installed in the throttle body.
Throttle position sensor outputs voltage to ECM based on the
throttle shaft rotation angle. ECM uses this signal to detect the
throttle valve opening angle to perform throttle actuator control
motor feedback control. This throttle position sensor uses Hall
IC and is a non-contact type.
