Hyundai Venue: Engine Control System / Knock Sensor (KS). Description and operation
Knocking is a phenomenon characterized by undesirable vibration and noise and
can cause engine damage. Knock Sensor (KS) is installed on the cylinder block
and senses engine knocking.
When knocking occurs, the vibration from the cylinder block is applied as pressure
to the piezoelectric element. At this time, this sensor transfers the voltage
signal higher than the specified value to the ECM and the ECM retards the ignition
timing. If the knocking disappears after retarding the ignition timing, the
ECM will advance the ignition timing. This sequential control can improve engine
power, torque and fuel economy.

Inspection
1.
Check signal waveform of CKPS and CMPS using a scan tool.
Specification : Refer to "Waveform"
Removal
•
DON’T remove the camshaft position sensor during engine running
or right after engine stops, or a scald by the flowed out engine
oil may occur...
Other information:
Replacement
•
Put on gloves to prevent hand injuries.
•
When removing with a flat-tip screwdriver or remover, wrap protective
tape around the tools to prevent damage to components...
Description
Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV) is a solenoid valve and is installed on
the surge tank and controls the passage between the canister and the intake
manifold.
The evaporative gases gathered in the canister are delivered to the intake manifold
when the PCSV is open by ECM control signal...

WARNING
To reduce the risk of an air bag deploying unexpectedly and causing serious
injury or death:
Do not hit or allow any objects to impact the locations where air bags
or sensors are installed.
Do not perform maintenance on or around the air bag sensors. If the location
or angle of the sensors is altered, the air bags may deploy when they should
not or may not deploy when they should.
Do not install bumper guards or replace the bumper with a nongenuine
HYUNDAI parts. This may adversely affect the collision and air bag deployment
performance.
Place the ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF or ACC position when the vehicle
is being towed to prevent inadvertent air bag deployment.
Have all air bag repairs conducted by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
