Automatic speed control device (ascd) : system description

INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL CHART

*: This signal is sent to the ECM via the CAN communication line

BASIC ASCD SYSTEM

Automatic Speed Control Device (ASCD) allows a driver to keep vehicle at predetermined constant speed without depressing accelerator pedal. Driver can be set the vehicle speed in the set speed range.

ECM controls throttle angle of electric throttle control actuator to regulate engine speed.

Operation status of ASCD is indicated in combination meter.

If any malfunction occurs in the ASCD system, it automatically deactivates the ASCD control.

CAUTION:

Always drive vehicle in a safe manner according to traffic conditions and obey all traffic laws.

Alternator power generation voltage variable control system

Alternator power generation voltage variable control system : system description

The alternator power generation voltage variable control system controls the amount of power generation, according to a battery loaded condition. ECM judges a battery condition, according to a signal received from the battery current sensor which detects a charge/discharge current. ECM then transmits a signal to IPDM E/ R to command power generation via CAN communication. IPDM E/R transmits a power generation control signal to the alternator so that the system can control the amount of power generation. The voltage of power generation is lowered during battery lowload conditions and boosted under heavy load conditions. In this way, the system reduces the engine load through the adequate power generation control.
