e. MDP Learning Control
MDP (Minimum Drive Pulse ) refers to the
minimum power supply pulse for injection
which the injector can perform. It is possible
to control the fuel volume for each injector
accurately through correct learning for the
MDP value. The basic process of MDP
learning is that the pulse slightly higher than
MDP is supplied and then (b) the vibration
generated from the cylinder is detected. The
knock sensor detects the vibration from the
engine after a small volume of fuel is injected.
And the time interval between the points of
injection and vibration is measured so that
MDP can be learned. MDP learning is helpful
to prevent engine vibration, high emission and
power reduction through performing
calibration for the old injectors. During MDP
learning, a little vibration and noise can be
occur for a while. This is because the fuel
pressure is increased instantaneously and the
exact injection value is not input, so that the
exact engine vibration timing can be
detected.
