(13) PTC heater control

A. Overview

The supplementary electrical heater is installed in DI engine equipped vehicle as a basic equipment. The

PTC system is operated according to two temperature values measured at the coolant temperature

sensor and HFM sensor. This device is mounted in the heater air outlet and increase the temperature of

air to the passenger compartment. Because PTC system is heated by electrical power, high capacity

alternator is required. PTC does not operate during engine cranking, while the battery voltage is lower

than 11 V or during preheating process of glow plugs.

C. Operation process

The ceramic PTC has a feature that the resistance goes up very high at a certain temperature. There

are three circuits in PTC heater. Only one circuit is connected when PTC1 relay is ON, and two circuits

are connected when PTC2 relay is ON.
Operation process: reaches at a certain temperature→high resistance→low current→less heat
radiation→temperature down→high resistance→high current→temperature up
