Sub starter & generator
-
Sub starter & generator is installed to LH side of engine.
-
Sub starter & generator has integrated control unit, and transmits/receives signal via ECM and CAN communication.
-
Sub starter & generator controls power generation voltage by target power generation voltage based on recived power generation voltage request signal.
-
During normal driving, it performs generation control according to the power generation command signal from the ECM.
-
It also has self-diagnosis function.
-
ECM transmits target charging voltage value to sub starter & generator via CAN communication.
-
When sub starter & generator received the signal, it controls power generation voltage by incorporated control unit.
-
When the ECM determines that the Nissan Ariya vehicle is decelerating, it increases the amount of power generated by the sub starter & generator based on the reference values of each sensor, and recovers the power to the 12V battery.
-
For restart control, refer to System Description.
12V Battery Current Sensor
-
Battery current sensor is installed to 12V battery negative cable.

-
Battery current sensor transmits battery current sensor signal via LIN communication to IPDM E/R. Battery current sensor measure charging/discharging current of 12V battery and temperature around 12V battery, and sends its signal to IPDM E/R. IPDM E/R controls power generation by sending power generation command value signal based on following signals to ECM. As a result, engine load can be reduced.
-
Battery current sensor measures charging/discharging current of 12V battery and sends its signal to IPDM E/R.
-
Battery temperature sensor is integrated in battery current sensor. Battery temperature sensor measures temperature around 12V battery.
-
Battery current sensor measures charging/discharging current of 12V battery and sends its signal to IPDM E/R.
-
Battery temperature sensor measures temperature around 12V battery using IC temperature sensor.

| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| Sub starter & generator | Refer to Sub starter & generator. |
| IPDM E/R | IPDM E/R monitors charge and discharge state of each battery. Calculate the power generation voltage request value according to the battery status and transmits to the ECM as a power generation voltage request signal. |
| ECM | ECM transmits the received power generation voltage request signal to sub starter & generator via CAN communication. |
| Battery current sensor | Refer to 12V Battery Current Sensor. |
POWER GENERATION CONTROL
-
Battery current sensor (incorporated temperature sensor) transmits the 12V battery status to IPDM E/R via LIN communication.
-
IPDM E/R calculate the target power generation voltage according to battery status and transmits the power generation voltage request signal to ECM via CAN communication.
-
ECM transmits the alternator voltage request value signal to the sub starter & generator via CAN communication.
-
The sub starter & generator controls the generated voltage with the target power generation voltage based on the received alternator voltage request value signal.
-
When there is no power generation command signal, the sub starter & generator performs normal generation according to the control unit characteristics.
NOTE:
-
When something goes wrong with the variable power generation voltage control system, it will perform normal generation according to the control unit characteristics.
-
ECM determines Nissan Ariya vehicle condition and performs regenerative control.
REGENERATIVE CONTROL
-
When the ECM determines that the vehicle is decelerating, it increases the amount of power generated by the sub starter & generator based on the reference values of each sensor, and recovers the power to the 12V battery.
-
After deceleration is completed, it supplies stored power and stops power generation of sub starter & generator. At this time, the load on the engine is reduced and fuel efficiency is improved.
