Wireless Power Charger System

During IG ON, battery voltage is supplied to the wireless power charger system to transmit an output of 5 W to mobile phone.

Mobile phones certified with the wireless charging standard WPC (Qi 1.2.4) or equipped with an exclusive wireless charging case can be used.

Wireless Power Charging System Flow Chart

1.

Supply vehicle power.

2.

Convert to AC. Generate electromagnetic field in 1st coil.

3.

Generate induced current in power receiver from electromagnetic induction.

4.

Generate AC in 2nd coil.

5.

Convert to DC.

6.

Charge battery.

Wireless Power Charger system Major Functions

1.

Charging Function

(1)

Activation method

a.

Close all car doors.

b.

Switch vehicle power to IG ON.

c.

Place the wireless charging-enabled mobile phone on the tray.

(2)

Charging status display

Charging error
(FOD/High Temperature)
Amber LED blinks

Amber LED blink (500ms ON/500ms OFF period)

FOD detection : 10 times blink and pause for 50 sec → FOD status re-check

High Temp. : 10 times blink when not charged by high temperature. LED OFF till the ERROR is released.


2.

Mobile phone neglect alert function

(1)

Activation method

a.

Ignition OFF when the phone is still charging.

b.

Check if there is a phone on wireless charging unit.

c.

Warning message if the phone is left in the WPC charge pad and the drivers door is opened or if the phone is left for more than 1 minute.

3.

Overheating prevention

(1)

Activation method

a.

If the thermistor temperature inside the wireless charging module rises above a certain level (158 °F (70 °C)), charging will stop to protect the mobile phone battery.

  

The amber LED of the charging display lamp blinks 10 times for 10 seconds.

b.

After the thermistor temperature falls (LED OFF till the high temperature ERROR is released), charging will re-start.

  

When the charging function is restarted, the amber LED of the charging display lamp will be turned on.

4.

Foreign matter detection

(1)

Charging will be disabled if there are coins or other metallic objects between the wireless charging unit and the mobile phone.

[Foreign matter]

  

Foreign matter : All metallic objects such as coins, clips, and precious metals

The amber LED of the charging display lamp blinks 10 times for 10 seconds, and then it is turned off for 50 seconds (total 60 seconds).

The process is repeated for every 60 seconds.

  

Be careful as touching the foreign matter by hand may cause burns.

(2)

When system has detected foreign matter and charging has stopped, the wireless charging function will resume immediately after removing the foreign matter.

  

When the charging function is restarted, the amber LED of the charging display lamp will be turned on.

5.

IBU unit low frequency (LF) interference prevention

This function prevents interference between the wireless charging frequency and smart key unit frequency band.

(1)

Wireless charging is stopped when the door is open or the IBU unit is in LF mode (searching for smart key).

e.g. Wireless charging function is stopped if the driver carries the smart key out of the vehicle during IG ON.

  

Charging will stop and the amber LED of the charging display lamp will turn off.

(2)

It will return to normal operating status when the LF mode of the IBU unit is completed.

6.

Turn the wireless charging function ON/OFF with USM.

※ Tailgate applies to RV vehicle models.

Repair procedures
Inspection
1.

The body electrical system can be more quickly diagnosed for troubles by using the vehicle diagnostic system (KDS).

KDS provides the following information.

(1)

Self diagnosis : Inspects and displays diagnostic trouble code (DTC)

(2)

Sensor data : Checks the system input/output value status

(3)

Forced operation : Checks the system operating status

(4)

Additional function : Controls system options, zero point adjustment and other functions

2.

To diagnose the vehicle by using the diagnostic equipment, select "vehicle model" and "wireless power charger system" to be inspected.

3.

To inquire the current status of input/output values, select the "Sensor Data" menu

The input/output values of the sensors corresponding to the selected module can be checked.

4.

To perform forced operation of the selected module input, select "Actuation Test".

5.

To inquire the cause of trouble for each module by self diagnosis, select 'Diagnostic Trouble Code'.
