Hyundai Ioniq: Hybrid Motor Control System / Description and operation

Hyundai Ioniq (AE) 2017-2025 Service Manual / Hybrid Motor System / Hybrid Motor Control System / Description and operation

Description

In a hybrid electric vehicle, HCU (an upper level controller), LDC (power converter), and inverter are integrated in the HPCU. HPCU is located on the left side of the engine compartment.

The inverter provides high-voltage AC current to the two motors (drive motor and HSG) and controls them optimally based on the driving conditions through communication with the HCU.

The inverter also changes the DC current from the high-voltage battery into 3-phase AC current that is required for the operation of the motor.

The inverter receives the torque commend from the HCU to control the motor. The motor acts as a generator during deceleration and braking and changes the 3-phase AC current into the DC current to charge the battery.

Inverter is also called a motor control unit (MCU) from the perspective of a controller.

Hyundai Ioniq (AE) 2017-2025 Owner's Manual: Detecting pedestrians

The sensor may be limited when: The pedestrian is not fully detected by the camera recognition system, for example, if the pedestrian is leaning over or is not fully walking upright The pedestrian is moving very quickly or appears abruptly in the camera detection area The pedestrian is wearing clothing that easily blends into the background, making it difficult to be detected by the camera recognition system It is difficult to detect and distinguish the pedestrian from other objects in the surroundings, for example, when there is a group of pedestrians or a large crowd There is an item similar to a person’s body structure The pedestrian is small The pedestrian has impaired mobility The sensor recognition is limited The radar sensor or camera is blocked with a foreign object or debris Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of view of the radar sensor or camera The outside lighting is too bright (e...
