1. OVERVIEW
The ignition system is to supply high voltage generated from the ignition coil to the spark plug. The
G20DF engine is equipped with the independent type direct ignition system that the ignition coil is
installed in each cylinder.
The basic ignition timing in each cylinder is determined by the signals from camshaft position sensor and
crankshaft position sensor.
This ignition system controls the electronic ignition timing received from the engine ECU. To control the
ignition timing precisely, the ECU use the information below:
Engine load
Coolant temperature
Intake air temperature
Engine rpm
Camshaft position sensor (CPS)
Crankshaft position sensor (CKS) -

-
-

-
If the signal from the camshaft position sensor is not delivered to the engine ECU, the ignition coil and
fuel system cannot be operated.

3. ECU CONTROL
1) Functions
ECU receives and analyzes signals from various sensors and then modifies those signals into
permissible voltage levels and analyzes to control respective actuators.
ECU microprocessor calculates injection period and injection timing proper for engine piston speed and
crankshaft angle based on input data and stored specific map to control the engine power and emission
gas.
Output signal of the ECU microprocessor activates the injector solenoid valve to control the fuel injection
period and injection timing; so controls various actuators in response to engine changes.
Auxiliary function of ECU has adopted to reduce emission gas, improve fuel economy and enhance
safety, comforts and conveniences. For example, there are autocruise and immobilizer and adopted
CAN communication to exchange data among electrical systems (automatic T/M and brake system) in
the vehicle fluently. And the diagnostic tool can be used to diagnose vehicle status and defectives.
water and electromagnetism and there should be no mechanical shocks.
2) Control Functions
Controls by operating stages:
To make optimum combustion under every operating stage, ECU should calculate proper injection
volume in each stage by considering various factors.
Starting injection volume control:
During initial starting, injecting fuel volume will be calculated by function of temperature and engine
cranking speed. Starting injection continues from when the ignition switch is turned to ignition
position to till the engine reaches to allowable minimum speed.
Driving mode control:
If the vehicle runs normally, fuel injection volume will be calculated by accelerator pedal travel and
engine rpm and the drive map will be used to match the drivers inputs with optimum engine power. -

(4) Features
Determines the ignition timing according to input signal
The ECU always analyzes the following elements when determining the ignition timing. 1.
Crankshaft position sensor
Camshaft position sensor
Coolant temperature sensor
Intake air temperature/air mass -

-
Warm-up of catalytic converter
The ignition timing is retarded for about 20 seconds to operate the catalytic converter according to the
operating temperature under the following conditions: 2.
The idle speed is increased by the idle speed control to help warming up of the catalytic converter -
-
Idle speed control
The ignition timing control can be performed faster than the control through the throttle valve.
Fuel cut-off in deceleration
The ignition timing is retarded temporarily to prevent abrupt increase of the torque when the
combustion is restarted.
Intake air temperature/coolant temperature
The ignition timing is retarded to prevent knocking if the intake air temperature or coolant temperature
is high. The ignition timing is retarded in the following cases. 3.

The ignition timing retard for intake air temperature and for coolant temperature is added up for
correction.
ESP/ASR control mode
The ignition timing is retarded to reduce engine torque as fast as possible under the ESP/ASR
control mode.
Knocking control
If knocking occurs in the cylinder, the ignition angle of the corresponding cylinder is retarded. The

(2) Warm-up Control Function
Low voltage
If low voltage is detected by the ECU, the idle speed increases up to 100 rpm selectively under the
driving mode until the ignition switch is turned off. Idle speed control
The idle speed is controlled according to the fuel/air mixture when the engine load is changed, the
power steering wheel is turned to its end, the selector lever is in the "D" position and the A/C compresso
r
is in operation. It is also controlled according to the charge level during the purge control operation.
Ignition timing
The idle speed is controlled according to the fuel/air mixture when the engine load is changed, The
Air conditioner compressor operation
The air conditioner control unit sends the air conditioner operation signal to the ECU to increase the
throttle valve opening amount in order to prevent reduction of the engine speed when the air conditioner
compressor is in operation at idling.
(3) Warm-up Control Operating Conditions
To make the catalytic converter reach a operating temperature, the ignition timing is retarded for about
20 seconds under the following conditions:
The selector lever is in the "P" or "N" position.
Also, the idle speed increases to 1100 ~ 1500 rpm simultaneously by the idle speed control. However, as
soon as the selector lever is shifted to the D position, warming up control of the catalytic converter will be
inhibited. The information necessary to perform such control is as follows:
Coolant temperature
Engine rpm
Intake air mass
Recognizing idling status
Selector lever position

5. TRANSAXLE ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
1) General Information
The transmission control unit (TCU) and its input/output network control the following transmission
operations:
Shift timing
Line pressure
Clutch pressure (shift feel)
Torque converter clutch -
-
-
-
also uses these signals when determining transaxle operating strategy. Using all of these input signals,
the TCU can determine when the time and conditions are right for a shift, or when to apply or release the
torque converter clutch. It will also determine the pressure needed to optimise shift feel. To accomplish
this, the TCU operates six variable bleed control solenoids and four on/off solenoids to control transaxle
operation.
2) TCU (Transmission Control Unit)
The transaxle control unit (TCU) is mounted
under the driver's seat and controls the operation
of the transaxle.
The TCU is activated and deactivated by the
ignition power supply and is connected to the
transaxle link harness by a 26 pin connector. The
TCU processes information received from internal
sensors and signals received across the CAN
bus in analogue and digital forms such as:
Transaxle input speed
Transaxle output speed
Accelerator pedal position
Gear selector position
Engine torque
Engine speed
Transaxle fluid temperature
Brake pedal status
Engine oil temperature
Engine coolant temperature
Ambient air temperature
Barometric pressure -

TCU is able to perform default action and inform the driver of the problem through the instrument cluster
warning lights. Detailed information is available via trouble codes which can be read with the service tool.

5) Hydraulic Circuit of HBA
The above figure shows one front and one rear wheel and the same hydraulic circuit forms as in the ESP
operation. When HECU recognizes that it is an emergency and it is required for hard braking, depending
on the pressure value of the brake pressure sensor and pressure changes caused by the pressure sensor
timing, it operates the pump immediately to apply the brake pressure at the wheels. Then, the pressure in
the pump increases until just before the corresponding wheel gets locked. The motor still keeps rotating
and the outlet valve and the separation valve will stay closed. When the wheel starts to lock, the HBA
function cancels and switches to ABS operation.
