i-stop CONTROL [SKYACTIV-G 2.0]


id0140f4008900


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 hill launch assist functions.

*1  :If the i-stop is operated repeatedly with a high-capacity audio system or added electronic device connected to the DC-DC converter, engine stop by the i-stop control is inhibited at a faster timing than normal.
*2  :The engine is started with the bonnet closed. If the bonnet is closed after the engine is started, the ignition may need to be switched off.
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.
―  Generator output control (generator load)
•  Engine speed is reduced by lowering the generator load.

Vehicle speed: 1 km/h {0.6 mph} or more
Engine stop time by the i-stop control: 120 s or more

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.
―  DC-DC converter control
•  When the engine is restarted by the i-stop control, the battery voltage is decreased to operate the starter by supplying power from the battery. When the starter operates, the supply voltage for electronic devices is increased by the DC-DC converter.
