EVAPORATIVE EMISSION PURGE SOLENOID
An evaporative emission purge solenoid is installed in the
intake manifold.The evaporative emission purge solenoid con
-
trols the intake volume of fuel vapor gas from the canister. The
evaporative emission purge solenoid is a duty control type
solenoid valve. When current is not passing through the coil,
nipple A is kept airtight and fuel vapor gas cannot be sucked in.
When current passes through the coil, air can pass between
nipple A and B and fuel vapor gas is sucked in. ECM changes
the ON duty ratio according to engine's operating condition to
control the intake volume of fuel vapor gas.
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SYSTEM M2171000300122
When the combustion gas temperature becomes
high, generation of the environment polluting NOx
(nitrogen oxides) increases rapidly. EGR system is
used to decrease the volume of NOx generated.
EGR system re-circulates exhaust gas inside the
intake manifold. It increases specific heat of the com
-
bustion gases and reduces combustion speed to lower the combustion temperature and reduce the
volume of NOx generated. ECM calculates the EGR
introduction volume according to engine operating
conditions and controls the EGR valve opening angle
at optimum. Also, immediately after the ignition
switch ON signal is input, it drives fully closed step
-
per motor and performs initialization.

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.

ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)
ECM is installed in the engine room. ECM judges
(calculates) the optimum control to deal with the con
-
stant minute changes in driving conditions based on
information input from the sensors and drives the
actuator. ECM is composed of 32-bit microprocessor
and Random Access Memory (RAM), Read Only
Memory (ROM) and Input /Output interface. ECM uses flash-memory ROM that allows re-writing of
data so that change and correction of control data is
possible using special tools. It also uses Electrically
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
(EEPROM) so that studied compensation data is not
deleted even if battery terminals are disconnected.

GENERATOR FR TERMINAL
Generator turns ON/OFF the power transistor in the voltage
regulator to adjust current flow in the field coil according to
alternator output current. In this way generator's output voltage
is kept adjusted (to about 14.7 V). The ratio of power transistor
ON time (ON duty) is output from generator FR terminal to
ECM. ECM uses this signal to detect generator's output current
and drives throttle actuator control motor according to output
current (electric load). This prevents change in idle speed due
to electric load and helps maintain stable idle speed.

THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL MOTOR
A throttle actuator control motor is installed in throttle body. The
throttle actuator control motor performs the Open/Close of the
throttle valve through the reduction gear. ECM changes current
direction according to the Open/Close direction and also
changes current to the motor coil to control the throttle actuator
control motor.
Throttle actuator control motor is composed of a good
response, low energy, and small DC motor with brush and can
generate rotation force corresponding to the current applied on
the coil. When there is no current passing through the throttle
actuator control motor, the throttle valve remains at a pre
-
scribed opening angle. So, even if current stops because of a
fault in the system, a minimum level of running remains possi
-
ble.

INTAKE ENGINE OIL CONTROL VALVE
The intake engine oil control valve is installed on the left side of
the cylinder head. Receiving the duty signal from the ECM, the
intake engine oil control valve moves the spool valve position
and divides the oil pressure from the cylinder block into the
advanced chamber and the retarded chamber of the V.V.T.
sprocket as well as continually changes the intake camshaft
phase. The spring makes spool valve stop at the position
where the intake camshaft is at the most retarded angle when
the engine is stopped. The ECM moves the spool valve posi
-
tion by increasing and decreasing ON duty ratio of the intake
engine oil control valve and allows the intake camshaft to be at
the target phase angle. When the duty ratio increases, the
spool valve moves. The sprocket rotates toward the advanced
angle side. When the duty ratio decreases, the sprocket rotates
toward the retarded angle side. When the medium duty ratio, at
which the spool valve is at the medium position, is achieved, all
the oil passages are closed. This allows the phase angle to be
kept constant. The ECM changes and controls the duty ratio in
accordance with the engine operation to get the optimum
phase angle.

The exhaust engine oil control valve is installed on the right

valve position and divides the oil pressure from the cylinder

the V.V.T. sprocket as well as continually changes the exhaust

GENERATOR G TERMINAL
ECM uses ON/OFF of generator G terminal to control genera-
tor output voltage. When the power transistor in the ECM turns
ON, output voltage gets adjusted to about 12.8 V. When gener
-
ator output voltage drops to 12.8 V it becomes lower than volt-
age of the charged battery and almost no current is output from
the generator. When the power transistor in the ECM turns
OFF, output voltage gets adjusted to about 14.7 V. When gen
-
erator output voltage is about 14.7 V, generator outputs current
to produce electricity. In case electric load is generated sud
-
denly, ECM controls generator G terminal's On-duty to limit the
sudden increase in generator load due to generation and thus
prevents change in idle speed.
