INJECTOR

An injector is an injection nozzle with the electromagnetic valve 
that injects fuel based on the injection signal sent by ECM. 1 
injector is installed in the intake manifold of each cylinder and 
fixed to the fuel rail. When electricity flows through the solenoid 
coil, the plunger gets sucked in. The ball valve is integrated 
with the plunger, and gets pulled together with the plunger till 
the fully open position so that the injection hole is fully open 
and the fuel gets injected.

Voltage from the battery gets applied from the injector relay to 
the injector and up to the ECM. ECM turns ON its power tran-
sistor and prepares the injector's ground circuit. Thus, current 
flows through the injector while power transistor is ON and the 
injector injects fuel.

THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL MOTOR

A throttle actuator control motor is installed in throttle body. The 
throttle actuator control motor performs the Open/Close of the 
throttle valve through the reduction gear. ECM changes current 
direction according to the Open/Close direction and also 
changes current to the motor coil to control the throttle actuator 
control motor.
Throttle actuator control motor is composed of a good 
response, low energy, and small DC motor with brush and can 
generate rotation force corresponding to the current applied on 
the coil. When there is no current passing through the throttle 
actuator control motor, the throttle valve remains at a pre-
scribed opening angle. So, even if current stops because of a 
fault in the system, a minimum level of running remains possi-
ble.

TURBOCHARGER WASTEGATE SOLENOID

Two turbocharger wastegate solenoid, which are placed paral-
lel near the ECM, control the amount of leakage of the intake 
charge pressure that is introduced into the turbocharger waste-
gate actuator.The turbocharger wastegate solenoid is a duty 
control type solenoid valve. When current is not passing 
through the coil, nipple A is kept airtight. When current passes 
through the coil, air can pass between nipple A and B. ECM 
changes the ON duty ratio to control the amount of leakage of 
the intake charge pressure.

INTAKE ENGINE OIL CONTROL VALVE

The intake engine oil control valve is installed on the intake side 
of the cylinder head. Receiving the duty signal from the ECM, 
the intake engine oil control valve moves the spool valve posi-
tion and divides the oil pressure from the cylinder block into the 
advanced chamber and the retarded chamber of the V.V.T. 
sprocket as well as continually changes the intake camshaft 
phase. The ECM moves the spool valve position by increasing 
and decreasing ON duty ratio of the intake engine oil control 
valve and allows the intake camshaft to be at the target phase 
angle. When the duty ratio increases, the spool valve moves. 
The sprocket  rotates toward the advanced angle side. When 
the duty ratio decreases, the sprocket rotates toward the 
retarded angle side. When the medium duty ratio, at which the 
spool valve is at the medium position, is achieved, all the oil 
passages are closed. This allows the phase angle to be kept 
constant. The ECM changes and controls the duty ratio in 
accordance with the engine operation to get the optimum 
phase angle.
