PCM [SKYACTIV-G 2.0]

Purpose/Function

  • High-level driveability and lower fuel consumption have been achieved by controlling the appropriate engine conditions (fuel injection/ignition timing) according to operation conditions.

  • Controls each output part based on the signal from each input part.

  • The control descriptions are as shown below.

Function

Description

Main relay control

  • Supplies power to each part by switching the main relay on/off at the optimal timing according to the vehicle conditions.

Drive-by-wire control

  • To realize the driving required by the driver, the throttle valve actuator is controlled by electric signals and an optimum target throttle valve opening angle is calculated, and not by physically linking the accelerator pedal operation and throttle valve operation using a throttle cable.

  • The drive-by-wire control is composed of the idle air control, accelerator control, traction control, excess engine speed control, overspeed control, electric variable valve timing cooperation control, engine oil temperature control, cruise control system, and the brake override system.

Hydraulic variable valve timing control

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

  • Based on each input signal, the PCM determines the optimum exhaust valve timing according to the engine operation conditions, drives the OCV, and switches the oil passages of the hydraulic variable valve timing actuator to optimally control the exhaust valve timing.

  • Based on the coordination with the electric variable valve timing control and by increasing the amount of overlap during high engine loads, nitrogen oxide (NOx) occurring largely at high temperatures is reduced by re-circulating exhaust gas into the combustion chamber, which also reduces combustion temperature.

Electric variable valve timing control

  • The PCM determines the optimum intake valve timing according to the engine operation conditions, and sends the motor drive signals to the electric variable valve timing driver. With the adoption of the electric drive system, variable intake valve timing can be controlled without any influence from the engine conditions, thus the fuel economy has been improved and pumping loss has been decreased.

  • Based on the coordination with the hydraulic variable valve timing control and by increasing the amount of overlap during high engine loads, nitrogen oxide (NOx) occurring largely at high temperatures is reduced by re-circulating exhaust gas into the combustion chamber which reduces combustion temperature.

Fuel injection control system

  • Performs optimum fuel injection according to engine operation conditions.

  • The PCM determines the engine operation conditions based on the signals from each input device and drives the fuel injectors at the optimal fuel injection time (fuel injection amount) and the fuel injection timing to inject fuel.

  • Optimally controls combustion based on fuel injection amount, fuel injection timing, number of fuel injections, and the fuel pressure to achieve emission performance improvement and higher engine output.

Fuel pump control

  • Switches the circuit opening relay on/off according to the engine operation conditions to assure stable fuel injection control and safe fuel supply.

High pressure fuel pump control

  • Changes the fuel pressure applied to the fuel injector to perform optimum fuel injection according the engine operation conditions.

  • The PCM determines the fuel pressure value corresponding to the engine operation conditions based on each input signal, and drives the spill valve control solenoid valve for optimum control of fuel pressure.

Electronic spark advance control

  • Controls ignition for optimum timing (according to engine operation conditions).

  • Serviceability has been improved by eliminating the necessity of ignition timing adjustment.

  • The PCM determines the engine operation conditions (based on input signals from each sensor) and blocks current to the ignition coils at the calculated ignition timing. This causes the spark plugs to discharge (ignite) by the effect of electromagnetic mutual induction.

Purge control

  • Controls the purge solenoid valve according to the engine operation conditions to introduce an appropriate amount of evaporative gas into the intake manifold and prevent release of evaporative gas into the atmosphere while assuring the drivability.

  • The PCM drives the purge solenoid valve based on the signal from each control part.

A/F sensor heater control

  • Performs duty control of the heater according to the engine operation conditions (exhaust gas temperature) for A/F sensor protection and enhanced emission performance.

  • By controlling the A/F sensor heater, stable detection of oxygen concentration is possible even with low exhaust gas temperature, and feedback control for the fuel injection control is possible even after cold engine start, enhancing the emission performance under cold temperatures.

  • A pre-heat has been adopted to prevent water, (produced from the exhaust system when the engine is started), from adhering to the sensor and damaging it.

HO2S heater control

  • Performs duty control of the heater according to the engine operation conditions (exhaust gas temperature) for HO2S heater protection and enhanced emission performance.

  • By controlling the HO2S heater, stable detection of oxygen concentration is possible even with low exhaust gas temperature, and feedback control for the fuel injection control is possible even after cold engine start, enhancing the emission performance under cold temperatures.

A/C cut-off control

  • To improve drive performance and A/C compressor reliability, the A/C relay is turned off at the appropriate timing (according to the engine operation conditions), and the A/C operation is controlled.

Electrical fan control

  • To improve engine reliability and cooling performance, operates the cooling fan according to the vehicle conditions and cools the radiator and condenser.

  • The PCM determines the engine operation conditions based on the signal from each sensor and performs duty-control of the fan control module to control the operation time and rotation speed of the cooling fan motor.

Starter cut-off control

  • The PCM controls the excitation of the starter relay according to the request from the immobilizer system to improve security.

  • While not in P or N position, the starter relay energization by the push button start is inhibited. (AT)

  • When the clutch pedal is not depressed, starter relay energization using the push button start is inhibited. (MT)

Generator control

  • To assure Idling stability, controls the generator output voltage to the optimum amount according to the engine operation and electrical load conditions.

  • The PCM determines the engine operation and electrical load conditions based on the input signals from each control part. It then uses this information to control the energization time of the generator field coils.

Engine oil control

  • To reduce the oil pump load applied to the engine, the PCM controls the engine hydraulic pressure to the appropriate pressure according to the engine operation conditions.

  • The engine hydraulic pressure switches in two steps. When hydraulic pressure is not needed, the oil pump discharge amount is reduced by the operation of the engine oil solenoid valve.

Construction

  • The PCM is installed in the engine room.

  • A 200-pin (two-block) connector has been adopted.

  • BARO sensor is integrated.
