3.1. Sensors (Control System Input):
Introduction:
Sensors are Simple Electronic Devices that detect and Convert a change in
Pressure, Temperature or Electrical movement into an Electrical Signal
Types of sensors:
1. Pressure.
2. Temperature.
3. Position.
4. Speed.
3.1.1. Pressure Sensor:
Introduction
1. Oil Pressure.
2. Fuel Pressure.
6. Crankcase Pressure.
3.1.2. Temperature Sensor :
Temperature Sensors are used to sense the changes of temperature and send a DC
current to the ECM
3.1.2. Temperature Sensor (Continued):
3.1.3. Throttle Position Sensor:
Send a DC signal to the ECM with the Desired Which determined by the Operator.
3.1.4. Speed Sensor:
Due to the change on the Magnetic field, the generated voltage changes, ECM
calibrated to detect Engine speed.
3.2. ECM (Control):
Introduction:
The Engine Control Module ECM Is the Hart of the Electronic System.
3.2. ECM (Continued):
Speed Timing Circuit is the most important circuit in the engine, So the engine
will not run if failure done.
Tells The ECM the position and speed of the Cam Shaft.
This circuit is used to compare between the air pressure upstream and down stream the
air filter.
If the pressure drop exceeds a certain value this means that the air filter is plugged, it
may cause engine heat and great engine damage.
In this case ECM will turn on a lamp to indicate that it is significant to change the air
filter.
4.4. Turbocharger outlet Pressure Sensor Control Circuit:
4.4. Turbocharger outlet Pressure Sensor Control Circuit
(Cont.):
There are two Oil Pressure control sensors to measure the oil pressure After and
Before the lubrication oil filter.
Sensors send the oil pressure reading as a DC signal to the ECM.
If the Oil Pressure is less than a certain value, the engine will perform the
following:
Warning.
Derate.
Shut down.
4.6. Coolant temperature Sensor Control Circuit:
4.6. Coolant Temperature Sensor Control Circuit
(Continued):
The coolant temperature sensor is used to measure the engine coolant temperature
and send a DC signal to the ECM.
There are three possibilities:
I. If the engine coolant temperature is less than a certain limit, The ECM will
operate the cold mode strategy which will advance the injection timing.
II. If the engine coolant temperature is within a certain range, The ECM will
operate the engine in Normal Operation.
III. If the engine coolant temperature is Greater than a certain limit, The ECM
will perform the following:
Warning.
Derate.
Shutdown.
4.7. Fuel pressure Sensor Control Circuit:
4.7. Fuel Pressure Sensor Control Circuit (Continued):
There are two Fuel Pressure sensors to measure the Fuel pressure After and
Before the fuel oil filter.
Sensors send the fuel pressure reading as a DC signal to the ECM.
If the fuel Pressure is less than a certain value, The ECM will turn on a warning
Lamp on the operator compartment.
