Starter 35 illustrations ~2530 words

Description

Idle Stop & Go (ISG) function automatically switches off the engine when the car is at a standstill if the and starts it again as soon as the brake pedal is released. This not only reduces fuel consumption, it also lowers emissions. Idle Stop & Go (ISG) function also has a built-in sensitivity to driving safety and comfort.

The engine is not switched off if certain conditions relating to safety and comfort have not been fulfilled (For example, when the engine oil is still cold, when the battery is running low or when the outside temperature is below 3°C). It can be deactivated by pressing the ISG OFF switch on the crash pad lower panel.

Sample scenario: switching off the engine at a standstill at a red traffic light or in stop-and-go traffic.

In the event of battery replacement, disconnection of the battery terminal or after changing the engine management system, the reference data regarding the battery charge state and battery condition can be lost. They are only available again a closed-circuit current measurement of approximate 4 hours in which the vehicle may not be wakened. In this time, the ISG system is inactive. CAUTION: ISG system deactivation by fault. Fault in communication line (LIN/CAN) Fault Electric oil pump Fault ESC System Fault Limp home mode Fault brake booster vacuum pressure sensor Fault Brake master cylinder pressure sensor Fault Brake pedal switch Fault Battery sensor When the ISG related sensors or system error occurs, the ISG OFF switch lights up. Especially when the battery sensor is replaced or reinstalled, the vehicle must be placed in the ignition switch OFF for about 4 hours for recalibration. The ISG function is operated about 4 hours later normally. But in the case of first 25 times, the ISG function can be operated regardless of recalibration. WARNING: When the engine is in Idle stop mode, it's possible to restart the engine without the driver taking any action. Before leaving the car or doing anything in the engine room area, stop the engine by turning the ignition key to the LOCK position or removing it.

Vehicles have many control units that use more electricity. These units control their own system based on information from diverse sensors. It is important to have a stable power supply as there diverse sensors giving a variety of information. Battery sensor is mounted on battery (-) terminal. It transmits battery voltage, current, temperature information to ECM. ECM controls generating voltage by duty cycle based on these signals.

Scheme 174

Scheme 174: Description
CAUTIONWhen battery sensor signal fault occurs, inspect the vehicle parasitic draw in advance after inspecting the sensor because the sensor will behave abnormally when the parasitic draw is more than 100mA. (Refer to VEHICLE PARASITIC CURRENT INSPECTION )

Note. It takes a few hours for a new battery sensor to detect the battery state correctly. Perform the following process after replacing the battery sensor. Ignition switch ON/OFF. Park the vehicle about 4 hours. After 4 hours later, check that the SOC (State of charge) of battery is displayed on GDS properly. After engine start ON/OFF 2 times or more, check the SOF (State of function) of battery using GDS.

CAUTIONFor the vehicle equipped with a battery sensor, be careful not to damage the battery sensor when the battery is replaced or recharged. When replacing the battery, it should be same one (type, capacity and brand) that is originally installed on your vehicle. If a battery of a different type is replaced, the battery sensor may recognize the battery to be abnormal. When installing the ground cable on the negative post of battery, tighten the clamp with specified torque of 4.0 ~ 6.0 N.m (0.4 ~ 0.6 kgf.m, 3.0 ~ 4.4 lb-ft). An excessive tightening torque can damage the PCB internal circuit and the battery terminal. When recharging the battery, ground the negative terminal of the booster battery to the vehicle body.

Note. Refer to DTC manual code " U1111 BATTERY SENSOR FAULT DETECTED BY ECU , U1112 LIN COMMUNICATION ERROR " to inspect the battery sensor. Must replace the engine wiring assembly to replace the battery sensor. Battery sensor doesn't be replaced as a part only.

In order to ensure adequate brake power assistance in every situation, the brake booster is equipped with a partial vacuum sensor. The brake booster vacuum pressure sensor is located beside the brake booster.

  1. Check installation status of BBVPS and Vacuum hose or damage of vacuum hose.
  2. Connect GDS to DLC (Data Link Cable).
  3. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
  4. Monitor "BBVPS" parameter on GDS. NOTE: With a brake partial vacuum that is too low, the ISG function also starts without activity on the part of the driver. Insufficient brake partial vacuum can lead to safety risks during braking maneuvers, when rolling on an incline. To prevent this, the engine is started. (Refer to "DTC «P0557 BRAKE BOOSTER PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW»(ref-537225-S23127139042013032200000) , «P0558 BRAKE BOOSTER PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH»(ref-537225-S16919184912013032200000) " in DTC manual)

AGM battery is used for especially heavy load on the vehicle network depending on equipment and requirements. AGM stands for Absorbent Glass Material Battery; that is absorbent glass fibre fleece. AGM batteries are fitted in models with electrical loads/consumers which have a high energy demand.

The constantly increasing energy demand of modern vehicle electrical systems calls for ever more powerful battery solutions.

The power consumption is considerable even when the vehicle is parked.

The somewhat higher price compared with a battery of similar size is fully balanced by the following benefits

Scheme 179

Scheme 179: Description
  1. Significantly longer service life
  2. Increased starting reliability at low temperatures
  3. 100 % freedom from maintenance
  4. Low risk in event of an accident (reduced risk to the environment)

Due to the considerably more frequent occurrence of starting operations, the electrical load that occurs often leads to voltage dips in the vehicle network. In order to stabilize the power supply for certain voltage-sensitive electrical components, a DC/DC converter is used in conjunction with the ISG function.

The DC DC converter supplies the relay with a voltage that also remains constant during the starting operation.

The DC/DC converter is fitted at the behind of the glove box and luggage side trim RH.

Via the test leads for input voltage and the start relay, the electronics decide whether the power is supplied to the output via the bypass or the DC/DC converter.

In the bypass mode, the on-board supply voltage is not fed across the DC/DC converter, rather is transferred directly to the outputs. In the booster phase, the vehicle voltage is adapted.

The charging system included a battery, an alternator with a built-in regulator, and the charging indicator light and wire.

The Alternator has eight built-in diodes, each rectifying AC current to DC current.

Therefore, DC current appears at alternator "B" terminal.

In addition, the charging voltage of this alternator is regulated by the battery voltage detection system.

The alternator is regulated by the battery voltage detection system. The main components of the alternator are the rotor, stator, rectifier, capacitor brushes, bearings and OAD (Overrunning Alternator Decoupler) pulley. The brush holder contains a built-in electronic voltage regulator.

Scheme 189

Scheme 189: Description

The starting system includes the battery, starter, solenoid switch, inhibitor switch (A/T), ignition switch, ignition lock switch, connection wires and the battery cable.

When the ignition key is turned to the start position, current flows and energizes the starter motor's solenoid coil.

The solenoid plunger and clutch shift lever are activated, and the clutch pinion engages the ring gear.

The contacts close and the starter motor cranks. In order to prevent damage caused by excessive rotation of the starter armature when the engine starts, the clutch pinion gear overruns.

Scheme 190: Description

In conjunction with the ISG function, the starter motor must do a great deal more work. The starter motor is therefore configured for a significantly higher number of start cycles. The components of the starter motor have been adapted to the higher requirements.

Note. There are two kinds of starter, ISG type starter and the other. When replace the starter, confirm that the part number and connector shape.

CAUTIONISG (Idle stop & go) system equipped vehicle always use the ISG type starter only. If the other starter has installed, this can potentially lead to engine electrical trouble or ISG system error.
WARNINGDo not disassemble the ISG type starter. If the starter troubles occur, replace the starter.

This transaxle has a standard Mechanical Oil Pump (MOP) linked to the input shaft to generates oil pressure when input shaft rotates.

But, this transaxle equipped with ISG system also has an Electric Oil Pump (EOP). Because the ISG system features Auto-Stop which starts and stops the engine as needed. The Auto-Stop feature prevents the Mechanical Oil Pump (MOP) from operating and building enough pressure for the transaxle to operate. When the vehicle comes to a stop with the engine off, Mechanical Oil Pump (MOP) cannot generate sufficient oil pressure during the initial startup or during low speed driving. For these reasons, the Electric Oil Pump (EOP) takes on this role as an additional device that can generate the required oil pressure when the vehicle comes to a stop or during low speed driving. The Electric Oil Pump (EOP) supplies oil pressure to the Under Drive Brake (UD/B).
