2) Leak Test
Release the pressure in the system by
loosening the pressure cap of the coolant
reservoir slightly. Then, remove the pressure
cap completely. 1.
Never open the cap until the coolant
temperature becomes under 90℃ to
prevent any burn.
Add the coolant so that the coolant level is
between MAX and MIN mark on the
coolant auxiliary tank.
Connect the tester to the tank filler and
apply pressure (1.4 bar).
Check all the coolant hoses, pipes and
connections for leaks when the pressure of
the tester drops, and replace or tighten, if
necessary. 2.

3) Thermostat
Immerse the thermostat into the water. Heat
the water and check the valve opening
temperature.
Valve opening
temperature 90 ± 2℃

08-8
Coolant reservoir
Oil filter module
Thermostat
When the engine coolant
reaches 90℃, the thermostat
starts to open (fully open at
100℃) and lets the coolant
flow to the radiator to
maintain the engine
temperature.
Water pump
The water pump is driven by the engine drive belt and
supplies the coolant to each area of the engine.

Coolant temperature sensor
Measures the coolant
temperature and sends the
result to the engine ECU.
Electric fan
Circulates the fresh air forcibly to exchange
heat with the radiator core fin.
Radiator
Releases heat through fins and cools down the hot
coolant as the coolant passes through the tube of
the radiator core.

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.
ECU receives the data (engine rpm, coolant temperature, vehicle speed) through CAN lines.
Based on the data, GCU controls the pre-glow, cranking and post-glow. It also checks the glow
plugs, and sends the result to ECU.
(1) Temperature/Current Properties of GCU
GCU increases the temperature of glow plug very rapidly (approx. 2 seconds up to
1000°C)
FETs (similar to transistor) for each cylinder are integrated in GCU. During the pre-
glow period, battery voltage is supplied to the glow plugs directly to heat them rapidly.
After getting the desired temperature by pre-glowing, the temperature is controlled by
duty ratio. Step 1:
Step 2 & 3:
Step 4:
This shows the supplying voltage and time by GCU in each step. The step 4 is the period to
keep the temperature. -Step 1: I1
Step 2: I2

EGR pipe
Transports the exhaust gas from the EGR
cooler and EGR bypass valve to the intake
duct.E-EGR valve
Receives the electric signal from the ECU to
control the valve.
E-EGR cooler and bypass valve
The cooler lowers the high temperature of the
exhaust gas and the bypass valve directly
supplies the exhaust gas to the intake duct
without passing through the EGR cooler to
reduce the emission of exhaust gas before
warming up the engine.HFM sensor
Used as a main map value to control the EGR.
The coolant temperature, engine rpm, engine
load, intake air temperature (HFM: decreased
at 60˚C or more), atmospheric pressure
(atmospheric pressure sensor: altitude
compensation) are used as auxiliary map
values.
