Kia Carnival (2009+). Instruction — part 235

2009 > G 2.7 DOHC >

DESCRIPTION

Modifications to the combustion chamber, intake manifold, camshaft and ignition system form the basic control system.
These items have been integrated into a highly effective system which controls exhaust emissions while maintaining
good driveability and fuel economy.

AIR/FUEL MIXTURE CONTROL SYSTEM [MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) SYSTEM]

This in turn allows the engine to produce exhaust gases of the proper composition to permit the use of a three way
catalyst. The three way catalyst is designed to convert the three pollutants (1) hydrocarbons (HC), (2) carbon
monoxide (CO), and (3) oxides of nitrogen (NOx) into harmless substances. There are two operating modes in the MFI
system.

1. Open Loop air/fuel ratio is controlled by information programmed into the ECM.

2. Closed Loop air/fuel ratio is adjusted by the ECM based on information supplied by the oxygen sensor.

Emission Control System

Exhaust Emission Control System - CVVT

(Continuously Variable Valve Timing) System

Emission Control System

2009 > G 2.7 DOHC >

DESCRIPTION

The CVVT (Continuously Variable Valve Timing) which is installed on the exhaust camshaft controls intake valve open
and close timing in order to improve engine performance.
The intake valve timing is optimized by CVVT system depending on engine rpm.
This CVVT system improves fuel efficiency and reduces NOx emissions at all levels of engine speed, vehicle speed,
and engine load by EGR effect because of valve over-lap optimization.
The CVVT changes the phase of the intake camshaft via oil pressure.
It changes the intake valve timing continuously.

OPERATION

The CVVT system makes continuous intake valve timing changes based on operating conditions.
Intake valve timing is optimized to allow the engine to produce maximum power.
Cam angle is advanced to obtain the EGR effect and reduce pumping loss. The intake valve is closed quickly to
reduce the entry of the air/fuel mixture into the intake port and improve the changing effect.
Reduces the cam advance at idle, stabilizes combustion, and reduces engine speed.
If a malfunction occurs, the CVVT system control is disabled and the valve timing is fixed at the fully retarded position.

1. The above figure shows the relative operation structures of the housing vane to the rotor vane.

2. If the CVVT is held a certain control angle, to hold this state, oil is replenished as much as oil leaks from the oil

pump.

The OCV (Oil-flow Control Valve) spool location at this time is as follows.
Oil pump ! Advance oil chamber (Little by little open the inflow side to the advance oil chamber) ! Almost
close the drain side
Be sure there might be a difference in the position according to the engine running state (rpm, oil temperature, and oil
pressure).
