D. Oxygen sensor control
The wide band oxygen sensor uses ZnO2. It produces the voltage by movement of oxygen ions when
there is oxygen concentration difference between exhaust gas and atmosphere.
If a certain voltage is applied to the sensor, the movement of oxygen ions occurs regardless of the
oxygen density. The current generated through this flow of ions, is called pumping current (IP), and the
oxygen sensor measures this value.

A. Overview of cooling fan and A/C compressor
The cooling system maintains the engine temperature at an efficient level during all engine operating
conditions. The water pump draws the coolant from the radiator. The coolant then circulates through
water jackets in the engine block, the intake manifold, and the cylinder head. When the coolant reaches
the operating temperature of the thermostat, the thermostat opens. The coolant then goes back to the
radiator where it cools. The heat from automatic transmission is also cooled down through the radiator
by circulating the oil through the oil pump. ECU controls the electric cooling fans with three cooling fan
relays to improve the engine torque and air conditioning performance.
For detailed information, refer to Chapter "Air Conditioning System".

Conditions for cooling fan control ▶
The PWM cooling fan is set by coolant temperature and A/C refrigerant pressure. And, the setting value
in A/T equipped vehicle may vary according to the internal oil temperature. The The engine ECU
controls the PWM cooling fan unit based on various signals to get the optimized temperature during
engine running.

(13) PTC heater control
A. Overview
The supplementary electrical heater is installed in DI engine equipped vehicle as a basic equipment. The
PTC system is operated according to two temperature values measured at the coolant temperature
sensor and HFM sensor. This device is mounted in the heater air outlet and increase the temperature of
air to the passenger compartment. Because PTC system is heated by electrical power, high capacity
alternator is required. PTC does not operate during engine cranking, while the battery voltage is lower
than 11 V or during preheating process of glow plugs.

C. PTC operation process
The PTC operating condition (ON) is controlled in two steps.
Basically, the engine ECU controls the relay to supply the power to PTC according to the coolant
temperature sensor and ambient temperature sensor.
