RPM SENSOR

Specifications:

It is fitted on the engine block, where it faces the phonic wheel located on the crankshaft.

It is of the inductive type, i.e. it functions by means of the variation in the magnetic field generated by the passage of the teeth of the flywheel (60-2 teeth).

The fuel injection control unit uses the rpm sensor to:

  • – determine the rotation speed;
  • determine the angle of the crankshaft.
Pressure pump electric control

Operation

The passage from full to empty, due to the presence or absence of the tooth, causes a variation in the magnetic flow which is sufficient to generate an induced alternating voltage, resulting from the count of teeth located on a ring (or phonic wheel).

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

Pressure pump electric control

1 - Brass bush

2 - Permanent magnet

3 - Plastic sensor casing

4 - Coil winding

5 - Polar core

6 - Ring gear or flywheel

7 - Coaxial two-wire cable or electrical connection

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

This gap is not adjustable, so if a value outside the tolerance range is measured, check the condition of the sensor and the phonic wheel.

Pressure pump electric control

1 - Maximum magnetic flow

2 - Minimum magnetic flow

3 - Induced alternating voltage trend

CAM ANGLE SENSOR

Specifications:

Hall effect; it is mounted on the cylinder head and 'facing' the camshaft pulley.

This pulley comprises a gap which enables the timing sensor to indicate the engine's timing position.

The fuel injection control unit uses the timing sensor's signal to find out the TDC at the end of compression.

Pressure pump electric control

Operattion

A semiconducting layer, through which current passes, immersed in a perpendicular magnetic field (force lines perpendicular to the current direction), generates at its ends a difference in potential known as Hall voltage.

If the intensity of the current remains constant, the voltage generated only depends on the intensity of the magnetic field; the intensity of the field simply has to vary periodically to produce a modulated electrical signal, whose frequency is proportional to the speed with which it changes magnetic field. To obtain this change, a metal ring (the inside of the pulley) with a gap passes through the sensor.

As it moves, the metal part of the ring covers the sensor, blocking the magnetic field, resulting in a low output signal; viceversa, level with the gap and so when the magnetic field is present, the sensor generate a high signal.

This signal, together with the rpm and TDC signal, allows the control unit to recognize the cylinders and determine the injection point.

2 - Magnetic material

EXCESS PRESSURE SENSOR

Specifications:

It is fitted at the centre of the inlet chamber and has the task of notifying the injection control unit about:

  • regulating the injection pressure
  • regulating the injection duration.
Pressure pump electric control

1 - 5 Volt (from ECU)

2 - Earth

3 - Output signal

ENIGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Specifications:

It is fitted on the thermostatic cup and measures the temperature of the coolant by means of an NTC thermistor which has a negative resistance coefficient.

One NTC thermistor sends the signal to the injection control unit whilst the other one sends the signal to the temperature gauge and warning light.

Pressure pump electric control

The sensor is based on semiconductor technology; so if the sensor temperature increases as the water temperature increases, the resistance decreases.

As the variation in resistance is not linear, for the same temperature increment, it is higher for low temperatures than for high temperatures.

AIR FLOW METER WITH AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR INTEGRATED

Specifications:

The flow meter is located on the air inlet duct and is of the 'hot film' type.

Pressure pump electric control

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

1 - Covers

2 - Electronic card

3 - Sensor

4 - Support plate

5 - Support

6 - O-ring

7 - Temperature sensor

The air flow meter cannot be dismantled.

Operattion

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

The hot film diaphragm is kept at a constant temperature (about 120° C above the incoming air temperature) by the heating coils.

The air mass passing through the measuring duct tends to draw heat from the diaphragm, so to keep the latter at a constant temperature, some current must flow through the resistor.

This current is measured by a suitable Wheatstone bridge.

The current is therefore proportional to the mass of flowing air.

The flow meter directly measures the air mass (not volume), thus eliminating problems of temperature, altitude, pressure, etc.

Fuel temperature sensor

Specifications

It is built into the fuel heater and measures the temperature of the coolant by means of an NTC thermistor which has a negative resistance coefficient.

Pressure pump electric control

The sensor is based on semiconductor technology; so if the sensor temperature increases as the water temperature increases, the resistance decreases.

As the variation in resistance is not linear, for the same temperature increment, it is higher for low temperatures than for high temperatures.

FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR

Specifications:

It is fitted in the centre of the 'rail' fuel distribution manifold and has the task of supplying the injection control unit with a 'feedback' signal to:

  • regulate the injection pressure
  • regulating injection duration.
Pressure pump electric control

ACCELERATOR PEDAL POTENTIOMETER

Construction features

The sensor consists of a casing, secured to the accelerator pedal mount, which contains a shaft, in an axial position, connected to two potentiometers: one main one and one safety one.

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

Pressure pump electric control

Operation

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

The accelerator pedal position signal is processed together with the information relating to the rpm, to obtain the fuel injection times and relevant pressure.
