GENERATOR CONTROL OUTLINE [LF]

E5U014000000N52

• Idling stability and the corresponding load performance have been improved by optimum control of generator

voltage according to engine operation and electrical load conditions.

• The PCM determines the engine operation and electrical load conditions based on the input signals from input

devices shown in the figure below and controls the excitation time of the generator field coils.

Determination of Field Coil Excitation Time

• By sending a duty signal to the power transistor

built into the generator, the PCM increases and
decreases the field coil excitation current.

• The field coil excitation current changes

according to changes in the power transistor
excitation time by changing the duty signal duty
ratio. For example, when the battery voltage is
low, the duty signal duty ratio sent to power
transistor is higher, and the excitation current to
the field coils increases.

Control

• To maintain optimum battery voltage, the PCM calculates the target excitation current based on the targeted

generator current (target generated current) and the generator rotation speed at the time.

• The generator rotation speed is calculated from the generator pulley and crankshaft pulley ratios, and the

engine speed.

• The PCM compares the target battery voltage (regulating voltage) calculated from the intake airflow

temperature, engine speed and vehicle speed with the current battery voltage and, based on this difference,
calculates the required generator current.

• When an electrical load is applied, the target rotation speed increases during idling because the battery voltage

decreases due to the increased power consumption.

Function

Description

Main relay control

When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the main relay turns on.

Drive-by-wire control

The drive-by-wire control calculates the optimum target throttle valve opening angle at all
ranges of engine speeds and controls the throttle valve actuator.

Drive-by-wire relay control

Supplies power to the drive-by-wire control.

Variable intake air control

Switches energization of the variable shutter valve actuator according to engine speed to
enhance the inertia charging effect.

Variable valve timing control

Changes the intake valve timing according to engine operation conditions to improve engine
output, fuel economy and exhaust emission performance.

Fuel injection control

Performs optimum fuel injection according to engine operation conditions.

Fuel pump control

Performs energization of the fuel pump relay only when the engine is running (operates fuel
pump) to improve stability and durability.

ESA control

Controls ignition to optimum timing according to engine operation conditions.

Evaporative purge control

An appropriate amount of evaporative gas is fed into the dynamic chamber by the driving of the
purge solenoid valve according to the engine operation conditions to ensure driveability and
prevent release of fuel vapor gas into the atmosphere.

EGR control

Adjusts the EGR to the optimum opening angle according to engine operation conditions.

HO2S heater control

Based on the control of the front and rear HO2S heater, a stabilized oxygen concentration is
detected even at low exhaust gas temperature and feedback control of fuel injection even
during cold engine start is made possible for improved cold temperature emission performance.

A/C cut-off control

The current application (energize/non-energize) to the A/C relay (magnetic clutch) is controlled
according to the engine operation conditions to prevent deterioration of engine performance,
damage to the engine, and deterioration of the A/C function.

Electrical fan control

Through cooling of the radiator and condenser by operation of the cooling fan according to
vehicle conditions, engine reliability and cooling performance have been improved.

Starter cut-off control

Theft deterrence has been improved by controlling energization to the starter relay according to
an engine stop request signal from the immobilizer system.

Generator control

Generator output is optimized according to the engine operation and electrical load conditions,
ensuring idling stability and anti-load performance.

CAN

Used for communication with the EHPAS control module, ABS HU/CM, instrument cluster and
DLC-2.
