(3) Starting with jumper cable
If the battery is weak or terminated, the battery from another vehicle can be used with jumper
cables to start the engine.
Connecting order ▶
The positive (+) terminal of the discharged battery
The positive (+) terminal of the booster battery
The negative (-) terminal of the booster battery
Connect one end of the other jumper cable to the body of the discharged vehicle, such as the
engine block or a front towing hook. 1.

Starting ▶
Prepare a set of jumper cables.
Place another vehicle that has the same 12 V of power near to the discharged vehicle.
Switch off all electrical accessories for the discharged vehicle.
Apply the parking brake and shift the transaxle to the P position (automatic transaxle) or neutral
(N) position (manual transaxle).
Connect the jumper cables.
Try to start the discharged vehicle while accelerating the engine rpm in the booster vehicle.
Attempt to start the engine with the discharged battery.
After starting the engine, carefully disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse sequence of
connection. 1.

Alternator
The alternator charges the battery and
supplies power to each electric unit by
converting the mechanical energy to the
electrical energy.
1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1) Overview
The charge system is designed to supply electrical energy to the vehicle while driving, and
supplies a constant direct current voltage by converting mechanical rotational movement to
electrical energy.
The voltage regulator on the back of the alternator controls the generated voltage in all rotating
ranges and adjusts the system voltage according to the electric load and ambient temperature
change.
2) System Layout (Locations)
Battery
It converts the chemical energy to the
electrical energy and supplies power to
the corresponding electric units when
starting the engine.

Glow plug control unit
(GCU)
1. OVERVIEW
The pre-heating system for D20DTR engine has the glow plug to the cylinder head (combustion
chamber), and improves the cold start performance and reduces the emission level.
The pre-heating resistor (air heater) is used to heat the intake air.
This enables the diesel fuel to be ignited in low temperature condition.
The ECU receives the information such as, engine rpm, coolant temperature, engine torque, etc.,
through CAN communication during pre-heating process; and the pre-heating control unit
controls the pre-heating, heating during cranking and post-heating by the PWM control.

4) Operation
Glow plug is installed in the cylinder head. It enhances the cold starting performance and reduces
the exhaust gas during cold starting.
(1) Operation
Duty control area:
Between 5 and 100%
Frequency: 20 Hz
Duty ratio = (RMS voltage)²

Pre-Glow: Step 1 ▶
If normal communication with the ECU is established 2 seconds after the power is supplied to the
IGN terminal from the battery, the GCU supplies the battery power to raise the temperature of the

If the input power (VB) is 11.5 V or less, the GCU supplies the battery power for arrival time
(T1).
If the input power (VB) is greater than 11.5 V, the GCU supplies the voltage of 11.5 V for arrival
time (T1). 1.

- The time for pre-heating is controlled by the ECU.
The time for pre-heating by coolant temperature can vary slightly depending on e.g. other
vehicle operation elements.

During cranking: Step 2 and step 3 ▶
Step 2: If the ECU receives the cranking signal after pre-heating (step 1), the GCU supplies the
<009d00960093009b0088008e008c00470096008d0047005d0055005f0047007d0047008d00960099004700580047009a008c008a0047009b00960047009900880090009a008c0047009b008f008c0047009b008c00940097008c00990088009b009c009900
8c0047009b00960047005800530058005700570b450055>
Step 3: The GCU supplies the voltage of 5.1 V to keep the temperature at 1,000°C. 1.
2.
Under fixed temperature: The AQGS unit supplies power for 30 seconds (Step 1 + Step 3)
if no cranking signal is received after the step 1.
At cranking: The step 3 is started after the step 2. *
*
Post-glow: Step 4: ▶
The post-heating is for reducing HC/CO after the engine is started. If the time for post-heating
exceeds 180 sec., the GCU unit cuts off the power to each glow plug even if there is pre-heating
request from the engine ECU.
