1. OVERVIEW
The ECU receives signals from various sensors. Then, it analyses and modifies them to allowable
voltage level to control various actuators. The ECU can control the engine power and exhaust gas
precisely because the micro processor in the ECU calculates the injection duration, injection timing, and
injection volume based on the engine piston speed and crankshaft angle using input data and a stored
map. The output signal from the ECU microprocessor drives the solenoid valve of the injector to control
the fuel injection volume and injection timing and control the ignition timing of the ignition coil so as to
control various actuators in response to the changes in the engine condition. In addition, many auxiliary
functions are added to the ECU in order to reduce emissions, improve fuel economy and ensure safety,
riding comfort and convenience. Some examples of such functions include exhaust gas recirculation,
boost pressure control, cruise control (auto cruise) and immobilizer. The ECU uses the CAN
communication system to facilitate data exchange with other electric systems such as A/T, braking
device, and steering system. When servicing a vehicle, a diagnostic equipment can be used to check the
vehicle conditions and perform diagnosis. The normal operating temperature for ECU ranges from -40 to
85℃. The ECU must be protected from oil, moisture, electromagnetic interference, and external
mechanical impact.

The pressure in fuel rain depends on the engine rpm and engine load:
- High engine rpm and load
The fuel is injected in high pressure for ideal combustion since turbulent flow is highly likely to occur.
Low engine rpm and load
- Turbulent flow is less likely to occur in these conditions. If the injection pressure is too high, the
penetration power becomes excessive when the fuel is injected from the injector and some of fuel is
condensed on the cylinder wall, resulting in incomplete combustion. This causes the smoke to be
generated and reduces engine durability
The fuel pressure is corrected by atmospheric pressure, coolant temperature and intake air temperature.
When driving in cold weather or at high altitudes, additional ignition time is considered. When starting the
engine, additional fuel injection is required. At this time, there is a special demand for pressure and
correction is carried out by temperature of the injected fuel or coolant.
- When the rail pressure is lower than actual pressure required, the current is reduced to increase the
fuel supply to the high pressure pump, and vice versa.

The injection timing should be changed according to each determinant in order for combustion to occur
at position close to the TDC during engine starting. The determined injection timing has been mapped in
the ECU for optimum injection timing.
▶ Pilot injection timing control
The pilot injection timing is determined based on the engine rpm and total fuel flow.
The determinants are as follows:
- The first correction is determined based on the air and coolant temperature.
This correction allows the pilot injection timing to be adapted to the operating temperature of the
engine.
- The second correction is determined by the atmospheric pressure.
This correction adjusts the injection timing properly according to the change of atmospheric pressure
based on altitudes. The pilot injection timing is determined based on the engine rpm and the coolant
temperature when starting the engine.
15-12
The total injection amount (main flow + pilot flow) during 1 cycle is determined as follows:
▶ When the driver depresses the accelerator pedal, the system judges the pedal position to
decide the fuel amount to be injected.
▶ When the driver releases the accelerator pedal, the idle speed controller decides the minimum
fuel amount to be injected in order to prevent the vehicle from being stalled.
The bigger of these two values is stored in the system, which will be compared with the minimum fuel
amount decided by the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) system afterwards.
If the actual amount of injected fuel is smaller than the minimum fuel amount decided by the ESP
system, the counter torque (braking torque by engine brake) to the driving wheel becomes larger than
the engine drive torque, which may cause the driving wheel to be locked.
The system chooses the larger of two values in order to prevent any damage which may occur during
abrupt deceleration.
The engine torque to the wheels exceeds vehicle's grip force as soon as the amount of fuel injected
becomes larger than the fuel amount limit decided by the ESP system, which may result in wheel slip.
The system chooses the smaller of two values in order to prevent any damage caused by vehicle control
during acceleration. Anti-oscillation strategy compensates for fluctuation of engine rpm temporarily. This
is determined by instant engine rpm and shift lever position and corrects the fuel amount to each
cylinder.
The switch enables to change from total fuel to an supercharged fuel according to the engine conditions.
- The system uses a supercharged fuel until engine warm-up is completed.
- The system uses total fuel once the engine operates normally.
Main injection volume is total injection volume minus pilot injection volume.
The mapping calculates the minimum fuel to control the injector as an action of fuel rail pressure.
When the main fuel drops below this value, the injector can't inject the amount of fuel requested and the
demand on fuel becomes 0.
0000-00 15-13
b. Driver demand
The driver's will is changed to demand on fuel according to the accelerator pedal position.
This is calculated as an interaction between the accelerator pedal position and engine rpm. The driver's
will is filtered in order to avoid the response delay which may occur during sudden acceleration. Mapping
calculates the driver's will and fuel rail pressure to decide maximum fuel amount can be injected.
Since the fuel flow (fuel amount) is proportional to the root value of injection pressure, the fuel flow
should be limited according to the pressure in order to prevent the fuel being injected too long during
engine cycle.
The system compares the driver's will (pedal position) with the fuel limit value and chooses the smaller
one.
Then, the driver's will is corrected by the coolant temperature and this correction is strengthened again
the driver's will.
15-14
d. Flow limitation
The principles of flow limitation are as follows:
- The flow limitation is determined based on the engine rpm and air volume.
The smoke is reduced during stable driving.
- The flow limitation based on atmospheric pressure is determined by the engine rpm and atmospheric
pressure.
The smoke is reduced while driving at high altitude.
- The fuel curve at maximum torque is determined by which gear is engaged and engine rpm.
Maximum torque is generated in the limited engine operation.
- If the system has any fault for rail pressure and injection control, the operation will be limited and the
system operates as follows according to fault severity.
Reduced flow logic 1: guarantees 75% of performance without engine rpm limitation.
Reduced flow logic 2: guarantees 50% performance with rpm limited to 3,000 rpm.
Reduced flow logic 3: limits rpm to 2,000.
The system chooses the lowest among theses values.
The correction related to the coolant temperature is included in fuel control and this correction may
reduce the mechanical stress during engine warm-up. This operation is determined by the coolant
temperature after start-up, engine rpm, time required and etc.
- The first correction is determined based on the air and coolant temperature.
This correction allows the pilot injection timing to be adapted to the operating temperature of the
engine.
The ignition time is reduced since the temperature at the end of compression is high at hot engine.
The pilot flow is reduced since little combustion noise occurs at hot engine.
The second correction is determined by the atmospheric pressure.
- This correction is used to adapt the pilot flow according to the atmospheric pressure and the
altitude.
During starting, the pilot flow is determined on the basis of the engine rpm and the coolant temperature.
The pulse of each injector is corrected according to the difference in instantaneous speed measured
between 2 successive injectors.
Firstly, the instantaneous speeds on two successive injections are calculated.
Secondly, The difference between these two instantaneous speeds is calculated.
Thirdly, the time to be added to the main injection pulse for the different injectors is determined. For each
injector, this time is calculated according to the initial offset of the injector and the instantaneous speed
difference.
The cylinder balancing strategy also allows the detection of an injector which has stuck closed. The
difference in instantaneous speed between 2 successive injections then exceeds a predefined threshold.
In this case, a fault is signaled by the system.

3) Accelerometer Control
(1) Resetting the pilot injection
The knocking control is used to reset the pilot injection flow in closed loop for each injector. This method
allows the correction of any injector deviations over a period of time. The principle of use of the knocking
control is based on the detection of the combustion noises.
The knock sensor detects the rotating angular speed of the engine after small amount of fuel is injected.
1. The accelerometer signal for each cylinder is used to establish the background noise level. This
must therefore be positioned at a moment when there cannot be any combustion.
2. It is used to measure the intensity of the pilot combustion. Its position is such that only the
combustion noises produced by the pilot injection are measured. It is therefore placed just before the
main injection.
The crankshaft position sensor detects the rotating angular speed of the engine after pilot injection. This is
called speed pilot control (SPC).
On the basis of this information, it is possible to efficiently correct the pilot flows through the SPC learning
control.
This is done periodically under certain operating conditions. When the resetting is finished, the new
minimum pulse value replaces the value obtained during the previous resetting. The first MDP value is
provided by the C3I. Each resetting then allows the closed loop of the MDP to be updated according to
the deviation of the injector.

4) Types of swirl
Category Figure Description
It is an air flow pattern which occurs in the horizontal
direction of the cylinder and generated by direction of
the intake port. One cylinder has two intake ports; one
Swirl is set horizontally and the other one is set vertically. Of
these, horizontal air flow is swirl.
5) Swirl control
In DI type diesel engine, the liquefied fuel is injected into the cylinder directly. If the fuel is evenly
distributed in short period, the combustion efficiency could be improved. To get this, there should be
good air flow in cylinder. In general, there are two intake ports, swirl port and tangential port, in each
cylinder. The swirl port generates the horizontal flow and the tangential port generates the longitudinal
flow. In low/mid load range, the tabgential port is closed to increase the horizontal flow. Fast flow
decreases the PM during combustion and increases the EGR ratio by better combustion efficiency.

5. E-EGR CONTROL
1) Overview
The E-EGR valve (Electric-Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve) reduces the NOx emission level by
recirculating some of the exhaust gas to the intake system to increase the CO₂ concentration in
the air.
The E-EGR valve used in the D22DTR engine is controlled by the same method as the EGR valve
equipped to the traditional EURO-V engine. For D22DTR engine, the capacity and responsiveness of E-
EGR valve has been improved to meet EURO-VI emission regulation. To meet the enhanced
environmental legislations, the capacity and response rate of EGR valve in the engine have been greatly
improved. The EGR cooler with high capacity reduces the NOx (nitrogen oxide), and the bypass valve
reduces the CO and HC due to EGR gas before warming up. Also, the engine ECU adjusts the E-EGR
opening by using the air mass signal through HFM sensor. If the exhaust gas gets into the intake manifold
when the EGR valve is open, the amount of fresh air through HFM sensor should be decreased.

6) Features
As EGR ratio goes up, smoke volume will be As EGR temperature goes up, the concentration
higher. But, this lowers the combustion chamber of NOx will be higher. Thus, it is necessary to cool
temperature and accordingly the concentration of down the exhaust gas. However, during engine
NOx is decreased. The point with highest NOx is cooled, it may cause large amount of PM. To
immediately after TDC. prevent this, the exhaust gas is bypassed the
EGR cooler.
If the actual intake air volume differs from the reference intake air volume when checking sensor data,
the followings are suspected.
- Low intake air volume compared to reference value at EGR non-operation zone EGR valve stuck
open
- High intake air volume compared to reference value at EGR operation zone EGR valve stuck closed,
EGR cooler blocked

6. E-VGT CONTROL
1) Overview
The E-VGT (Electric-Variable Geometry Turbine) turbocharger system uses the venturi effect that
controls the flow rate of exhaust gas by controlling the passage in turbine housing variably. The E-VGT
is a DC motor actuator type which can control more precisely and faster. The engine ECU controls the
DC motor electronically as follows: a) At low speed: Narrows the flow passage for the exhaust gas,
resulting in increasing the flow speed of the exhaust gas and running the turbine quickly and powerfully.
b) At high speed: Expands the flow passage for the exhaust gas, resulting in increasing the mass flow of
the exhaust gas and running the turbine more powerfully.

- The wide band oxygen sensor measures the oxygen density in exhaust gas and sends it to ECU to
control the EGR more precisely.
2) Oxygen sensor control
The wide band oxygen sensor consists of one ZnO₂. The space between tubes is a
measurement chamber into which some of exhaust gas is diffused. At this time, the sensor compares
oxygen concentration difference between exhaust gas and atmosphere. There is a certain reference
voltage, 4.5 V, on the stoichiometric air-fuel-ratio. The current feedback control is done with the use of this
voltage. When the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is lean, the oxygen concentration difference becomes
small and the voltage drops. Then, the pumping current is controlled so that the reference voltage is
maintained to 4.5 V by moving the oxygen in the measurement chamber towards exhaust gas. The
leaner air-fuel ratio is, the higher pumping current is. Therefore, the pumping current gives an information
on the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas.

The LNT (Lean NOx Trap) cleans the CO and HC in the exhaust gas and stores the NOx generated in
air fuel ratio lean (normal driving) condition in the LNT catalyst system to reduce the NOx. If the
absorbed NOx is saturated, the LNT converts NOx into N₂ by allowing post-injection to achieve
rich condition (supplying reductant).
The catalyst consists of Pt, Pd, and Rh with enhanced heat resistant in addition to Ba which is NOx
adsorption material.
SO₂ generated by combustion has a similar property as the NOx chemically due to the sulfur
ingredient in fuel. This sulfur ingredient interrupts NOx absorption resulting in reduced catalytic efficiency.
Therefore, in order to remove SOx, carry out the desulfurization mode periodically.
The high-temperature generated after DPF regeneration is used for desulfurization process which
requires high-temperature above 670℃. In other words, post injection is carried out continuously
after DPF regeneration to generate high-temperature to finish desulfurization process.
Change between lean and rich modes regularly in order to prevent high-temperature leakage. Do not
carry out desulfurization process in line with DPF regeneration and do it only when necessary.
