Operation

▶

EEM monitors the electric loads and battery conditions and controls the voltage to improve the fuel 

economy and battery charging efficiency.
EBS on “-“ terminal of battery sends the battery information (voltage, current, temperature and 

SOC) to engine ECU with LIN communication.

Engine ECU outputs the information from EBS and regulating control signal (PWM) according to the 
engine load conditions to “L” terminal on alternator.

Engine ECU controls the magnetic resistance between stator coil and rotor coil by controlling the 

current in rotor coil according to PWM duty value.

The alternating voltage induced to stator coil is converted to direct voltage by rectifier. And, EBS 
outputs the charging voltage to “B” terminal on alternator.

Operation of charge warning lamp

▶

ECU checks the generating voltage from alternator and circuit conditions and sends the warning lamp ON 

signal to meter cluster through CAN line.

Basic control logic according to the driving conditions

▶

Engine ECU determines the engine loads according to the fuel injection volume and engine speed. It 

charges the battery by increasing the generating voltage during deceleration. To improve the fuel 

economy by reducing the alternator load during acceleration, engine ECU decreases the generating 

voltage and consumes the battery voltage.
