RPM SENSOR

Characteristics

It is fitted on the cylinder block, facing the toothed wheel on the crankshaft.

It is the inductive type, in other words it operates through the variation in the magnetic field produced when the flywheel teeth (60 – 2) pass by.

The injection control unit uses the RPM signal to:

  • determining the engine rotation speed

  • determining the angular position of the crankshaft.


Operation

The changeover from full to empty determined by the presence or absence of a gap brings about a magnetic flux change sufficient to generate an induced alternating voltage proportional to the number of teeth on the ring (or phonic wheel).

The frequency and amplitude of the voltage sent to the electronic control unit provides it with details of crankshaft angular speed.


1 - Brass bush

2 - Permanent magnet

3 - Plastic sensor casing

4 - Coil winding

5 - Core

6 - Ring gear or phonic wheel

7 - Coaxial paired cable or electrical connection

The recommended distance (gap), between the end of the sensor and flywheel, to produce correct signals, should be between 0.8 and 1.5 mm.

This distance is not adjustable.Therefore, if the gap is found to be outside the tolerance limits, check the condition of the sensor and phonic wheel.


1 - Maximum magnetic flux

2 - Minimum magnetic flux

3 - Induced alternating voltage trend

CAM ANGLE SENSOR

Characteristics

This Hall effect sensor is fitted on the cylinder head, facing the camshaft drive pulley.

A tooth on the pulley allows the timing sensor to indicate the engine timing position.

The injection control unit uses the timing sensor signal to identify T.D.C. at the end of compression.


Operation

A current-carrying semiconductor layer immersed in a normal magnetic field (force lines at right angles to current direction) generates a potential difference known as a Hall voltage at its terminals.

If current intensity remains constant, the generated voltage depends on magnetic field intensity alone.Periodic changes in magnetic field intensity are sufficient to generate a modulated electrical signal with frequency proportional to the speed of magnetic field change. To produce this change, a tooth on the inner part of the pulley periodically moves close to the sensor.

INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE AND EXCESS PRESSURE SENSOR

Characteristics

The excess pressure and intake air temperature sensor is an integral component designed to measure the pressure and the temperature of the air inside the intake manifold.

It is fitted on the intake manifold and has the task of notifying the injection control unit to:

  • regulate the pressure of the variable geometry turbine in order to ensure optimum engine performance in all operating conditions.

  • regulate fuel injection duration.

3 - 5 Volt (from ECU)

4 - Turbocharging pressure output signal

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Characteristics

This is fitted on the thermostat and detects coolant temperature by means of a dual NTC thermistor with negative resistance coefficient.

One NTC thermistor sends a signal to the injection control unit, whilst the other sends a signal to the temperature gauge and the warning light in the instrument panel.


The sensor is designed using semiconductor technology.In other words, the resistance level drops if the sensor element temperature increases as the coolant temperature increases.

The non-linear change in resistance is greater for changes at low temperatures and lesser for changes at high temperatures.

AIR FLOW METER WITH BUILT IN AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Characteristics

The digital air flow meter is located on the air intake hose and is a hot film type meter.

1 - 12 V power supply

2 - Earth

3 - Air temperature output signal

4 - Air flow rate output signal

The NTC intake air temperature sensor is built into the air flow meter.

The air flow meter cannot be disassembled.

Operation

The operating principle is based on a heated diaphragm placed in a measuring duct through which the inlet air entering the engine flows.

The hot film diaphragm is kept at a constant temperature (about 120°C higher than the temperature of the incoming air) by the heating resistance.

The air mass that flows through the measurement channel tends to remove heat from the membrane.A certain amount of current must therefore flow through the heater coil in order to maintain the membrane at a constant temperature.

This current is measured by the electronic circuit in the plug-in and is proportional to the mass of air flowing through.

This leads to the following advantages:

- lower response time

- improved measurement precision.

The presence of an quartz oscillator on the printed circuit allows the flow meter to measure the air flow rate directly.

FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR

Characteristics

It is fitted at the end of the common rail and its function is to provide the injection control unit with a feedback signal to enable it to:

  • modulate injection pressure;

  • regulate fuel injection duration.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL POTENTIOMETER

Construction specifications

The sensor consists of a case secured to the accelerator pedal; the case contains an axially-located shaft connected to two potentiometers: a main one and a safety one.

A coil spring on the shaft guarantees the correct resistance to pressure whilst a second spring ensures the return on release.


Operation

The accelerator pedal position is transformed into an electrical voltage signal and is sent to the injection control unit from the potentiometer connected to the associated pedal.

The accelerator pedal position signal is processed together with the information relating to the engine rpm in order to obtain the injection times and the pressure.

MOTORISED THROTTLE BODY

The electrical throttle body is a system that includes both the control logics and the activation logics of the electric motor for moving the throttle valve.

The system is operated by means of a PWM type signal, which is processed by the electronics of the actual component.The position of the throttle valve is controlled as a result.

The motorized throttle body carries out the following two functions:

- management of the shut-off stage

- control the exhaust gas temperature by reducing the intake duct section.
