POWER GENERATION VOLTAGE VARIABLE CONTROL SYSTEM
POWER GENERATION VOLTAGE VARIABLE CONTROL SYSTEM
System DiagramINFOID:0000000009460653
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000009460654
Power generation variable voltage control system has been adopted. By varying the voltage to the generator,
engine load due to power generation of the generator is reduced and fuel consumption is decreased.
NOTE:
When any malfunction is detected in the power generat ion variable voltage control system, power generation
is performed according to the characteristic of the IC regulator in the generator.

Component part Description
Generator (IC regulator) The IC regulator controls the power generation voltage by the tar-
get power generation voltage based on the received PWM com-
mand signal.
When there is no PWM command signal, the generator performs
the normal power generation according to the characteristic of the
IC regulator.
ECM The battery current sensor detects the charging/discharging cur-
rent of the battery. The ECM judges the battery condition based on
this signal.
The ECM judges whether to request more output via the power
generation voltage variable control according to the battery condi-
tion.
When performing the power generation voltage variable control,
the ECM calculates the target power generation voltage according
to the battery condition and sends the calculated value as the pow-
er generation command value to the IPDM E/R.
IPDM E/R The IPDM E/R converts the received power generation command
value into a pulse width modulated (PWM) command signal and
sends it to the IC regulator.

SYSTEM
Manual Air Conditioning System
INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL CHART
*1: ECM determines the start signal status
by the signals of engine speed and battery voltage.
*2: Automatic air conditioning system
*3: Manual air conditioning system
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
ECM calculates the value of signal transmitted from t he accelerator pedal and activates the throttle valve by
transmitting a control signal to the electric throttle c ontrol actuator. This allows the optimum throttle angle and
improves drivability and fuel consumption. In addition, ECM learns the fully closed position every time when
the ignition switch is turned OFF to improv e the accuracy in throttle valve position.
When a malfunction occurs in the throttle control system , the throttle valve is closed by the return spring and
maintains the minimum engine speed by holding a slightly opened condition which is close to the fully opened
condition. This allows the securing of brake syste m, power steering system, and electric system and the
ensuring of the safety.
