1. OVERVIEW
The intake system for D20DTR engine is equipped with a throttle body which includes a flap. This
flap is controlled by an electrical signal to cut off the intake air entering to the engine when the
ignition switch is turned off. Because of this, the shape of the intake manifold has been changed
and improved HFM sensor is newly adopted to control the intake air volume more precisely.

The variable swirl valve actuator operates
when turning the ignition switch ON/OFF
position to open/close the swirl valve. In this
period, the soot will be removed and the
learning for swirl valve position is performed.
Swirl: This is the twisted (radial) air flow along the cylinder wall during the intake stroke. This
stabilizes the combustion even in lean air-fuel mixture condition.
Swirl valve
3) Features
Swirl and air intake efficiency
To generate the swirl, the intake port should be serpentine design. This makes the resistance
in air flow. The resistance in air flow in engine high speed decreases the intake efficiency.
Eventually, the engine power is also decreased, Thus, the swirl operation is deactivated in high
speed range to increase the intake efficiency.
Relationship between swirl and EGR
To reduce Nox, it is essential to increase EGR ratio. However, if EGR ratio is too high, the PM
also could be very higher. And, the exhaust gas should be evenly mixed with newly aspired air.
Otherwise, PM and CO are dramatically increased in highly concentrated exhaust gas range
and EGR ratio could not be increased beyond a certain limit. If the swirl valve operates in this
moment, the limit of EGR ratio will be higher. -

4) Relationship Between Swirl and Fuel Injection Pressure
The injector for DI engine uses the multi hole design. For this vehicle, there are 8 holes in injector.
If the swirl is too strong, the injection angles might be overlapped and may cause the increased
PM and insufficient engine power. Also, if the injection pressure is too high during strong swirl, the
injection angles might be overlapped. Therefore, the system may decreases the fuel injection
pressure when the swirl is too strong.

2. CAUTIONS
Do not park the vehicle on flammable materials, such as grass, leaves and carpet.
Do not touch the catalyst or the exhaust gas ignition system when the engine is running.
If a misfire occurs in the combustion chamber or the emission of pollutant exceeds the
specified level, the catalyst can be damaged.
When servicing or replacing components of the exhaust system, makes sure that the
components are positioned at regular intervals from all other parts of the under body.
Be careful not to damage the exhaust system when lifting the vehicle from its side.
All components and body parts of the engine exhaust system should be inspected for crack,
damage, air hole, part loss and incorrect mounting location. Also check for any deformation
which can result in exhaust gas drawn into the vehicle.
Make sure that the exhaust pipe is cooled down sufficiently before working on it because it is
still hot right after the engine is stopped.
Wear protective gloves when removing the exhaust pipe. -

resistance
D terminal
voltage
Disconnect the cable connected to the
B terminal on the alternator. Connect
one end of the ammeter to the B
terminal and the other end to the cable
connected to the B terminal.
Measure the maximum output value.
(Maintain the engine speed between
2,500 and 3,000 rpm.)
(Turn the headlamp and all the electrical
switches on.) 1.
2.Pass: If the measured current is
45 A or higher.
Fail: If the measured current is
less than 45 A.
Check the current of the B
terminal. -
-
-
Move the gear selector lever to the
neutral position.
Maintain the engine speed at 2,500 rpm
with the vehicle unloaded.
(Turn all the electrical switches off.) 1.
2.Open circuit: If the measured
current is 5 A or higher. -
Disconnect the negative cable from the
battery.
Remove the B terminal and turn off the
ignition switch.
Measure the resistance between the L
and F terminals with an ohmmeter. 1.
2.
3.Pass: If the measured resistance
is between 3 and 6 Ω.
Faulty rotor coil or slip ring: If the
measured resistance is less than
3 Ω or greater than 6 Ω. -
-
Connect the B terminal wiring.
Measure the voltage with the engine
running. 1.
2.Specification: 12.5 V to 14.5 V
Faulty IC regulator or field coil: If
the measured voltage is 14.5 V
or higher. -
-
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Connect the negative cable again after connecting the ammeter. -

(4) Maintenance
If the charge warning lamp ( ) on the instrument cluster comes on while driving, there is a
malfunction in the charge system including the battery. Therefore, carrying out the system check
is needed.
Make sure that the battery cables are firmly connected.
If the terminals are corroded, clean them with a wire brush or sandpapers.
Always disconnect the battery cables with the ignition key removed. When disconnecting the
battery cables with the ignition key turned to ON or ACC position, several electric units can
be damaged due to sudden voltage change.
Check the battery for crack, damage or fluid leaks. Replace it if necessary.
Wipe out the battery fluid on the battery surface using a rubber glove and a clean cloth
wetted with soapy water. -

GCU PWM control
This describes the voltage supplying types to glow plugs. -
GCU estimates the temperature of glow plug for pre-heating. To avoid the power loss and
overheat, GCU supplies the lowest power for getting target temperature when turning ON the
ignition from OFF. -
