Outline
• Computer Control for( pollution, noise and for fuel economy etc…..)
♦Oxygen (O2)
♦Hydrocarbons (HC)
♦Water vapor (H2O)
♦Carbon monoxide (CO)
♦Carbon dioxide (CO2)
♦Oxides of nitrogen (NOx)
• Among these, CO, HC and NOx are harmful gases for living things
• More over, CO2 has a green house effect which leads to global
warming.
1. NOx – is irritant gas, it irritates respiratory system and damages lung
tissues.
• Produced due to rise in combustion temperature.
• ECT
• Computer Control for( pollution, noise and for fuel economy etc…..)
• Consequently Uo changes.
• Therefore, as changes,
Rmag also changes that in turn
change the , Consequently Uo changes. On the
other hand, as n changes, the frequency and rate of
change of flux changes, consequently the magnitude of
the induced voltage.
• But which value is preferred as a signal?
• The voltage or the frequency? Reading
assignment.
Capacitive sensor
• The hot wire type measures the mass airflow, and so such
compensation is not needed
MAF
• Construction
• Honeycell screen
• Break up incoming air turbulence
• Carrier assembly
• Holds the sensing circuit
• Sandwiched between the flow body and diffuser
• [Thermistor]
• Measures the temperature of the incoming air
• Electronic module
• Sends digitized signal to ECM
sensor assembly (1), sensor element (2), partial
airflow measuring tube (3), and integrated
evaluation electronics (4).
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Downstream
resistor
heater resistor
Upstream resistor diaphragm
• A diaphragm (1) on the sensor element (2) is heated by a
centrally
• mounted heater resistor (3), which is held at a constant
temperature.
• The temperature drops sharply each side of the heating
zone.
• Temperature of the diaphragm is registered to the
evaluation electronics by two temperature-dependent
resistors located on the upstream (4) and downstream (5)
side of the resistor.
• Upstream resistor is cooled
• Resistance of the element decreases
• Then as the air flows over the heating zone the air
temperature is increased
• The heated air then passes over the downstream
resistor
• Resistance of the element is higher
• This temperature differential is used to calculate the air
mass flow and is independent of absolute temperature.
• The differential is directional and enables the MAF to
detect direction of the incoming air.
More on hot wire flow meter
The hot wire is made from for example
platinum whose electrical resistance R
increases with temperature. The wire
heats up when a current IH is passed
through it.
It is cooled when it is in an air flow. The
cooling process reduces the resistance of
the wire and increases the electric current
to produce an equilibrium between the
input power Pel and the power PV output
by the flow:
Manifold Pressure Sensor dec27
• This sensor detects the pressure variation of the intake
manifold and converts it to the voltage signal.
Detailed wiring diagram (GM)
• The ECU then calculates the basic injection volume and
the basic ignition advance angle on the basis of this
signal
• The ECU uses speed density formula to calculate air
density inside cylinder
Air density in cylinder = EP * EGR * VE * MAP
AT
• Where MAP - manifold absolute pressure, VE=volumetric
efficiency,
• EP=engine parameters (engine speed, eng. Temperature,
TP),
• EGR=EG flow,
• AT= air temperature
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
The throttle position signal is used for
• fuel cut off control (during deceleration or braking) and
• increasing the fuel volume during acceleration.
• (Additionally, this signal is used for automatic
transmission control also.)
Types
• On-Off Type
• Linear type
Linear type
Hall type App
G and NE Signal Generators
• The information from these two signals is combined by
the engine ECU to comprehensively detect the
crankshaft angle and engine speed.
• These two signals are not only very important to the
EFI systems but to the ESA system as well.
CKP and CMP
In distributor type
Electrical circuitry
Water Temperature Sensor/ Intake Air
Oxygen sensors
• Zirconia element type (narrow range)
• The variable resistor is used to change the air-fuel ratio during idling
and to adjust the idling CO.
• The variable resistor is installed in models without an oxygen sensor
or air fuel ratio sensor.
• When the idle mixture adjusting screw is turned to the R direction,
the contact inside the resistor moves to increase the VAF terminal
voltage.
• Conversely, when the screw is turned to the L direction, the VAF
terminal voltage is decreased. When the VAF terminal voltage
increases, the engine ECU slightly increases the fuel injection volume
to make the air-fuel mixture a little richer.

ACTUATORS AND THEIR
CONTROL CIRCUIT
Common automotive actuators
• Fuel pump
• Injectors
• Idle speed control valve
• Igniter
• Check engine lamp
• Oxygen sensor heater
• EGR valve
• Relays
• various types of electric motors,
Relays and Solenoids
Solenoids
• Solenoids: solenoids are digital actuators. One
terminal is attached to battery voltage while
the other is attached to the computer which
opens and closes the ground circuit as needed.
• When energized, the solenoid may extend a
plunger or armature to control functions such
as vacuum flow to various emission-related
systems or fuel injection.
• Most actuators are solenoids.
Fuel pump control
• Engine cranking :
• Engine started:
• Engine stopped:
ON-OFF control by fuel pump switch at the air
flow meter
PWM-control
Piezo injector for common rail system (diesel)
• Extremely compact for high-precision injection
Fuel Injection Duration Control
• Determined by changing the injector injection duration.
1. The basic injection duration (by intake air and the engine speed
signals).
2. The corrective injection durations
• There are following corrections:
Start enrichment
Warm-up enrichment
Air-fuel ratio feedback correction (some models only)
Acceleration enrichment
Fuel cut-off
Power enrichment
Other corrections
Idle speed control (ISC)
• The ISCV is a device that controls the amount of the intake
air during idling using the signal from the engine ECU and
controls the idling speed.
• There are two types of ISCV as follows.
1. Type that bypasses the throttle valve and controls the
amount of the intake air:
2. Type that controls the amount of the intake air using the
throttle valve:
