8. Idle speed control function
Idle speed control logic
The idle speed air flow control enables the engine control system to: maintain the targeted
turning speed when the throttle is fully closed and avoid runaway; maintain a stable turning
speed when the engine load changes at idle speed. Idle speed control function refers to the
system’s control over the engine speed when the throttle is closed. The system’s control over idle
speed refers to the adjustment of the following parameters to match the actual turning speed with
the targeted idle speed.
- Air quantity control at idle speed;
- Fuel injection quantity control
- Ignition timing control
Design control timing at idle speed
- Stability demarcation at idle speed
- Acceleration working condition demarcation
- Deceleration working condition demarcation
- Deceleration fuel cutoff
- Engine instantaneous transition working condition fuel supply demarcation
- Even speed driving demarcation
- Mechanical and electrical load increase/decrease demarcation
Targeted idle speed is determined by various input signals:
- When the engine water temperature is relatively low, the system will set a relatively high
targeted idle speed to speed up the car heating; for engines that use mechanical fans, in the case
of engine cooling fluid over temperature, the system will set a relatively high idle speed to
increase the air flow into the cooling water tank;
- When external load (e.g. air conditioner, power steering and all kinds of electrical loads, etc)
changes, the system will increase the idle speed to compensate the increased load and maintain a
stable idle speed.

11. Air conditioner com

request, make the preparations for loading the air conditioner according to the working
conditions of the engine and then connect with the air conditioner compressor; it will co
on/off status of the air conditioner according to the air conditioner’s needs for protection.
- ECM monitors the A/C request input and A/C evaporator temperature switch input and co
the air conditioner compressor clutch by way of the air conditioner relay. The system can
recognize the air conditioner system once it is plugged in.
Working conditions for the air conditioner
- The air conditioner will start running if the fo

• The car is equipped with air conditioning;
• Engine has been running for over 5 seconds

• The air conditioner is switched on
• The air intake temperature is higher
• The cooling water temperature is higher than 3.75
• The engine speed is higher than 600rpm

• No air conditioner cutoff mode works

co ditioner cutoff mode

- In order to guarantee the pow
some circumstances, ECM must cut off power supply to the air conditioner compressor or
disable the startup of the air conditioning system. Meanwhile, in order to avoid the frequen
switching on/off of the compressor clutch, ECM will somehow ensure that the air conditione

clutch can only be reactuated only after a certain period of time once the air conditioner cutoff
mode is entered. There are primarily the following modes:
-Engine heavy load air conditioner cutoff mode: to ensure power supply

• No TPS and car speed sensor fault

• The engine speed is lower than 3,600rpm (not at heavy load cutoff mode) or engine speed

is lower than 4,000rpm (at heavy load cutoff mode);

• The car speed is lower than 10kmh (not at heavy load cutoff mode) or engine speed is

lower than 15kmh (at heavy load cutoff mode);

• The throttle opens 70% of the maximum (not at heavy load cutoff mode) or the throttle

opens over 60% of the maximum (at heavy load cutoff mode).

- Wide open throttle (WOT) air conditioner cutoff mode: to ensure power supply

• The engine speed is lower than 5,000rpm;
• No TPS fault;

• TPS is bigger than 90%, and TPS has been lower than this value ever since the previous

WOT air conditioner cutoff.

- Engine overspeed air conditioner cutoff mode: to protect the air conditioning system

• When A/C is turned off, the compressor is only allowed to be started up after the engine

speed is lower than 6,000rpm.

• When A/C is turned on, the compressor will be turned off after the engine speed is higher

than 6,200rpm.

- Engine cooling water over-temperature air conditioner cutoff mode: to protect the engine

• When A/C is turned off, the compressor is only allowed to be started after the cooling

water temperature is below 105℃.

• When A/C is turned on, the compressor will be turned off after the cooling water

temperature is above 108℃.

- Air conditioner evaporator under-temperature air conditioner cutoff mode: to protect the
air conditioning system
The system will turn off the air conditioner under certain circumstances in order to ensure
sufficient power output and to protect the engine.

12. Control of the cooling fan
A double-speed cooling fan is adopted for the system.
Electrical fan control function: the system can control the double-speed cooling fan and turn on
different fans according to the water temperature to reduce the internal power consumption of the
engine.

13. Mileage accumulation
The mileage accumulation is based on the pulse signals from the car speed sensor. The
accumulated mileage range is from 0.0 to 9,999,999.9 km with an accuracy of 0.1km. After a
driving distance of 5 km or when the engine is turned off, the accumulated mileage will be
recorded into the EEPROM and resumed therefrom once the power is on again; moreover, the
accumulated mileage will still be saved even after the ECM is fully out of power. When the
system does not detect any car speed sensor fault and its circuit fault (P0500), the system will
keep accumulating the mileage by 0.1 km for every ten pulse signals received from the car speed
sensor.
