i-stop CONTROL [SKYACTIV-X 2.0]


id0140hf008900


Outline

•  When the vehicle is stopped such as at a stop light, the i-stop control stops/starts the engine automatically to improve fuel economy and reduce exhaust gas and idling noise.
•  The PCM determines whether to permit/inhibit i-stop control based on the signal from each input part and CAN communication.
•  The i-stop control includes the engine stop control, engine restart control, electric AT oil pump driver control, and vehicle roll prevention functions.

Engine stop control
•  The engine is stopped when the i-stop (engine stop control) conditions are met.
Engine restart control
•  The engine restarts when the i-stop (engine restart control) conditions are met.
Electric AT oil pump driver control
•  Drives the electric AT oil pump to assure line pressure during an engine stop by the i-stop control. (See OIL PUMP [ET6A-EL, ET6AX-EL].)
Vehicle roll prevention function
•  Controls the traction control solenoid valve in the electronically controlled brake unit to maintain or decrease brake fluid pressure.

*1  :During Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function) and Cruising & Traffic Support (CTS) operation, the engine is stopped by i-stop control without having to depress the brake pedal.
*2  :After the vehicle is stopped, the engine stops if the gear is shifted to N position. In addition, if the gear is shifted to P position after the vehicle is stopped in D position, the engine stop condition by the i-stop control is maintained.
*3  :If the seat belt is unfastened while the vehicle is stopped, i-stop is inhibited until a vehicle speed record is input once.
i-stop (engine stop control)
•  When the i-stop (engine stop control) permit conditions are met, the PCM stops the engine based on the following controls:
―  Fuel injection control (fuel cut)
•  Engine speed is reduced by the fuel cut.
―  Drive-by-wire control (throttle valve open/closed)
•  By adjusting the throttle valve opening angle, the engine speed is reduced and the pumping loss is used to stop the engine.
―  Electric variable valve timing control (intake valve timing retard)
•  Intake valve timing retard is performed for engine restart by i-stop control.

*1  :During Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function) and Cruising & Traffic Support (CTS) operation, the engine is not restarted by i-stop control even if the brake pedal is released.
i-stop (engine restart control)
•  When the i-stop (engine restart control) conditions are met, the PCM restarts the engine by the following controls:
―  Fuel injection control (from first time, fuel injection to specific cylinders (expansion stroke)
•  Fuel is injected to cylinders which are determined to be stopped at the expansion stroke. During i-stop control (engine stop), cylinders are identified based on the signal from the crankshaft position sensor and fuel injection is enabled to those cylinders which are identified first as being stopped in the expansion stroke.
