(14) Immobilizer control
A. Overview
The Immobilizer System provides an additional theft deterrent to the vehicle in which it is installed and
prevents it from being started by unauthorized persons. The transponder integrated in the key and the
engine control unit have the same code. When the ignition key with the integrated transponder is turned
to the ON position, the ECU (Engine Control Unit) checks the crypto code of the key and, if correct,
allows the vehicle to start the engine.
For details, refer to Chapter "Immobilizer".

Key approval process ▶
When turning the ignition switch to ON position, the power is supplied to BCM and ECU. ECU
communicate with the immobilizer key to check if it is valid crypto code. If it is valid, ECU start to control
the engine when turning the ignition switch to START position. The system has 10 seconds of valid time-
out period. If the engine does not start in this period, the key approval process should be done again.

4. DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURE
1) Oil Leak Diagnosis
Most fluid oil leaks are easily located and repaired by visually finding the leak and replacing or repairing
the necessary parts. On some occasions a fluid leak may be difficult to locate or repair. The following
procedures may help you in locating and repairing most leaks.
Finding the Leak ▶
Identify the fluid. Determine whether it is engine oil, automatic transmission fluid, power steering
fluid, etc.
Identify where the fluid is leaking from. -
-
After running the vehicle at normal operating temperature, park the vehicle over a large sheet
of paper.
Wait a few minutes.
You should be able to find the approximate location of the leak by the drippings on the paper. ·
·
·
Visually check around the suspected component.
Check around all the gasket mating surfaces for leaks. A mirror is useful for finding leaks in
areas that are hard to reach.
If the leak still cannot be found, it may be necessary to clean the suspected area with a
degreaser, steam or spray solvent. -
-
Clean the area well.
Dry the area.
Operate the vehicle for several miles at normal operating temperature and varying speeds.
After operating the vehicle, visually check the suspected component.
If you still cannot locate the leak, try using the powder or black light and dye method. ·
·
·
·
·
Clean the suspected area.
Apply an aerosol-type powder (such as foot powder) to the suspected area.
Operate the vehicle under normal operating conditoins.
Visually inspect the suspected component. You should be able to trace the leak path over the
white powder surface to the source. -

01-10
Black Light and Dye Method ▶
A dye and light kit is available for finding leaks, Refer to the manufacturer's directions when using the kit.
Pour the specified amount of dye into the engine oil fill tube.
Operate the vehicle normal operating conditions as directed in the kit.
Direct the light toward the suspected area. The dyed fluid will appear as a yellow path leading to
the source. -
-
-
Once the origin of the leak has been pinpointed and traced back to its source, the cause of the leak must
be determined in order for it to be repaired properly.
If a gasket is replaced, but the sealing flange is bent, the new gasket will not repair the leak. The bent
flange must be repaired also. Before attempting to repair a leak, check for the following conditions and
correct them as they may cause a leak.Repairing the Leak ▶
Gaskets ▶
The fluid level/pressure is too high.
The crankcase ventilation system is malfunctioning.
The seal bore is damaged (scratched, burred or nicked).
The seal is damaged or worn.
Improper installation is evident.
There are cracks in the components.
The shaft surface is scratched, nicked or damaged.
A loose or worn bearing is causing excess seal wear. -

Leakage Test ▶
Warm the engine up to normal operating temperature.
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove the spark plugs.
Check the coolant level by opening the coolant reservoir cap and replenish if insufficient.
Open the engine oil filler cap.
Connect the tester to air pressure line and adjust the scale of tester.
Install the connecting hose to spark plug hole.
Position the piston of No.1 cylinder at TDC by rotating the crankshaft.
Connect the connecting hose to tester and measure the leakage volume after blowing up
5 bar of compressed air. -
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Measure the leakage volume in the completely opening condition of throttle valve by pulling the
acceleration cable. -
Perform the pressure test according to the firing order. -
Firing Order: 1 - 3 - 4 - 2 -
Compare the leakage pressure with the specifications. -

1) Starting Mode
When the ignition is turned ON, the ECM turns the fuel pump relay on for 1 second. The fuel pump then
builds fuel pressure. The ECM also checks the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor and the
Throttle Position (TP) sensor and determines the proper air/fuel ratio for starting the engine. This ranges
from1.5 to 1 at -36 °C (-33 °F) coolant temperature to 14.7 to 1 at 94 °C (201 °F) coolant
temperature. The ECM controls the amountof fuel delivered in the starting mode by changing how long
the fuel injector is turned on and off. This is done by ''pulsing" the fuel injectors for very short times.
2) Run Mode
The run mode has two conditions called ''open loop" and ''closed loop".
3) Open Loop
When the engine is first started and it is above 690 rpm, the system goes into "open loop" operation. In
"open loop", the ECM ignores the signal from the HO2S and calculates the air/fuel ratio based on inputs
from the ECT sensor and the MAF sensor. The ECM stays in "open loop" until the following conditions
are met:
The O2 has a varying voltage output, showing that it is hot enough to operate properly.
The ECT sensor is above a specified temperature (22.5 °C).
A specific amount of time has elapsed after starting the engine. -
-
-
4) Closed Loop
The specific values for the above conditions vary with different engines and are stored in the
Electronically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM).
When these conditions are met, the system goes into "closed loop" operation. In "closed loop", the ECM
calculates the air/fuel ratio (fuel injector on- time) based on the signals from the O2 sensors. This allows
the air/fuel ratio to stay very close to 14.7 to 1.
5) Acceleration Mode
The ECM responds to rapid changes in throttle position and airflow and provides extra fuel.
6) Deceleration Mode
The ECM responds to changes in throttle position and airflow and reduces the amount of fuel. When
deceleration is very fast, the ECM can cut off fuel completely for short periods of time.

1. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1) Exhaust System
When you are inspecting or replacing exhaust system components, make sure there is adequate
clearance from all points on the underbody to avoid possible
overheating of the floor panel and possible damage to the passenger compartment insulation and trim
materials.
Check the complete exhaust system and the nearby body areas and trunk lid for broken, damaged,
missing or mispositioned parts, open seams, holes, loose connections, or other deterioration which
could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the trunk may be an indication of a problem in one of these
areas. Any defects should be corrected immediately.
2) Catalytic Converter (Gasoline Engine)
When jacking or lifting the vehicle from the body side rails, be certain that the lift pads do not contact
the catalytic converter, as this could damage the catalytic converter.
Use of anything other than unleaded fuel will damage the catalyst in the catalytic converter. 1.
2.
Catalytic Converter Structure ▶
The Catalytic converter of monolith type consists of 2
walled metal bodies which is made of Cordierite. The
principal element of converter consists of the materials
like Alumina or oxidized Serume in order to apply to
Ceramic Monolith. Washer coat operates first, and
catalytic metal elements (Pt, Pd, Rh) operates to
washer coat next.
Monolith type is lighter than other types, easy to
manufacture and quickly approaches to prope
r
temperature. Washer coat is used to make a contact
surface with exhaust gas bigger by adhering closely to
small holes
of inner layer. If a lead compound or phosphorus
adheres to the surface and the temperature rises, its
surface is decreased. The total area of general
monolith converter is about 45, 000~500,000ft3. (10
times of a football field) Generally Alumina (AL2 O3) is
used as a raw materialand its 7 phases of gamma,
delta, theta have big areas and high stability for the
temperature, and nowadays gamma Alumina is used
usually.

Check whether the multifunction wiper switch is in the "AUTO" position.
Check the power to the sensor. Check the conditions of the pin 3 (Groun\
d) and the pin 4
(IGN).
Check the wiper relay for defective.

Symptom 2. It rains but the system does not work in "AUTO" position.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
▶
The wiper does not operate one cy cle when turning the multifunction
wiper switch to the "AUTO" from the "OFF" position or starting the
engine while the wiper switch is in the "AUTO" position.
When starting the engine with the multifunction wiper switch in the "AUTO" position, the
wiper operates one cycle to remind a driver that the wiper switch is in \
the "AUTO" position.
When the multifunction wiper switch is turned to "AUTO" from "OFF", the wiper operates
one cycle.
It always operates one cycle for the initial operation, however, the wiper does not operate
afterwards to prevent the wiper blade wear if not raining when turning the wiper sw\
itch to
"AUTO" from "OFF". However, the wiper operates up to 5 minutes after rain stops\
. If this
function does not occur, check No. 8 pin. If the pin is normal, check the wiper relay related
terminals.
1)
2)
Symptom 3. The wiper operates 3 or 4 times at high speed abruptly.
Check whether the variable resistance knob on the multifunction wiper switch i\
s set in
"FAST". The "FAST" is the highest stage of sensitivity and very sensitive to small amount o
f
rain drops. Therefore, change the knob to low sensitivity.
Symptom 4. The wiper operates continuoulsy even on the dry windshield glass.
Check the wiper blade for wear. If the wiper blade cannot wipe the glass uniformly and
clearly, this problem could be occurred. In this case, replace the wiper\
blade with new one.
Check whether the variable resistance knob on the multifunction wiper switch is set in
"FAST" The "FAST" is the highest stage of sensitivity and very sensitive\
to small amount o
f
rain drops. Therefore, change the knob to low sensitivity.
