4WS (4 Wheel Steering)
4WS is an abbreviation for 4 Wheel Steering, which is a device with which the direction is changed not only for the front tires but for the rear tires as well. When changing the direction of the vehicle, Read more 4WS (4 Wheel Steering)
What is Automotive Steering Column?
The steering column consists of the steering main shaft which transmits the steering wheel rotation to the steering gear, and the column tube which fixes the steering main shaft to the body. The top end Read more What is Automotive Steering Column?
What is Steering Lock Mechanism?
This is a theft deterrent feature that disables the steering wheel by locking the steering main shaft to the column tube when the ignition key is pulled out. There are two types of steering lock mechanism.
Conditions to Operate Diesel Engine
Compression and the fuel system are the most important factors for the efficient operation of the diesel engine. The preheating system heats the compression air necessary for cold engine starting.
Elements of Diesel Engine
The diesel engine uses diesel fuel. A four-stroke diesel engine operates with the same cycle of four strokes as the gasoline engineIntake, compression, combustion and exhaust. One merit of the diesel engine Read more Elements of Diesel Engine
Operation Principle of the Transistorized Type with ESA
1. The engine ECU receives the signals from various sensors, calculates the optimal ignition timing, and sends an ignition signal to the igniter. (The engine ECU controls the timing advance.)
2. The Read more Operation Principle of the Transistorized Type with ESA
TDI (TOYOTA Direct Ignition System)
In the TDI system, the conventional distributor is no longer used as in the ignition system. Instead, it provides an ignition coil with an independent integrated igniter for each of the cylinders. Because Read more TDI (TOYOTA Direct Ignition System)
Automotive Ignition Coil
The ignition coil generates a high voltage that is sufficient for arcing sparks between the electrodes of a spark plug. The primary and secondary coils are wound around the core. The secondary coil is Read more Automotive Ignition Coil
TheTRC and VSC Brake Actuator 1 of 2
1. TRC operation (for pressure increasing mode)
When the accelerator is depressed, the hydraulic pressure for each wheel cylinder is controlled to control the drive wheel slip. At this time, in models Read more TheTRC and VSC Brake Actuator 1 of 2
