Electronic Control System Components

Usage:

CB-22B 2B2
The engine has an Electronic Control Module (ECM). There are also a number of engine sensors. The ECM controls the engine operating parameters through the software within the ECM and the inputs from the various sensors. The software contains parameters that control the engine operation. The parameters include all of the operating maps and customer-selected parameters.

The electronic control system has the following components:

  • ECM

  • Pressure sensors

  • Temperature sensors

  • Crankshaft speed/timing sensors

Illustration 2 is a block diagram of the control system on a normally aspirated engine. Illustrations 1 and 3 are block diagrams of the control system on turbocharged engines.

ECM



Illustration 13g03322430
Typical example

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) (1) functions as a computer for the fuel system.

The electronic system consists of the ECM, the engine sensors, and inputs from the application. The ECM is the computer. The flash file is the software for the computer. The flash file contains the operating maps. The operating maps define the following characteristics of the engine:

  • Engine rating

  • Torque curves

  • High and low idle speed (rpm)

  • Emissions

The ECM has an excellent record of reliability. Any problems in the system are most likely to be the connectors and the wiring harness. The ECM should be the last item in troubleshooting the engine.

The programmable software contains all the fuel setting information. The information determines the engine performance.

Flash programming is the method of programming or updating the programmable software. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Flash Programming" for the instructions on the flash programming of the programmable software.

The ECM is sealed and the ECM needs no routine adjustment or maintenance.

Engine Speed

The ECM has software that compares the desired engine speed to the actual engine speed. The actual engine speed is determined through the crankshaft speed sensor. If the desired engine speed is greater than the actual engine speed, the ECM will instruct the fuel injection pump to supply more fuel to the fuel injectors in order to increase engine speed.

Fuel Injection

The programmable software inside the ECM sets certain limits on the amount of fuel that can be provided to the fuel injectors.

The ECM controls the following characteristics:

  • Operation of the NOx reduction system (if equipped)

  • Regeneration

Diagnostic Codes

When the ECM detects an electronic system problem, the ECM generates a diagnostic code. Also, the ECM logs the diagnostic code in order to indicate the time of the problem's occurrence. The ECM also logs the number of occurrences of the problem. Diagnostic codes are provided in order to indicate that the ECM has detected an electrical problem or an electronic problem with the engine control system. In some cases, the engine performance can be affected when the condition that is causing the code exists.

If the operator indicates that a performance problem occurs, the diagnostic code may indicate the cause of the problem. Use a laptop computer to access the diagnostic codes. The problem should then be corrected.

Event Codes

Event Codes are used to indicate that the ECM has detected an abnormal engine operating condition. The ECM will log the occurrence of the event code. This does not indicate an electrical malfunction or an electronic malfunction. If the temperature of the coolant in the engine is higher than the permitted limit, then the ECM will detect the condition. The ECM will then log an event code for the condition.

Speed Sensors

The engine has two speed sensors installed to measure crankshaft speed.



Illustration 14g03323793
Typical example

The primary speed sensor (1) is located on the left-hand side of the engine towards the bottom of the front housing.

The primary speed sensor generates a signal by detecting the movement of the crankshaft. The signal that is generated by the speed sensor is transmitted to the ECM.

The ECM uses the signal from the speed sensor to determine the engine speed.



Illustration 15g03323794
Typical example

The secondary speed sensor (2) is located on the right-hand side of the engine towards the top of the front housing.



Illustration 16g03323790
Typical example

Pressure Sensors and Switches



Illustration 17g03323797
Typical example

The boost pressure sensor is an active sensor.

The boost pressure sensor provides the ECM with a measurement of inlet manifold pressure.

The operating range of the boost pressure sensor is 39 to 400 kPa (6 to 58 psi).

The engine oil pressure switch provides the ECM with a measurement of engine oil pressure. The ECM can warn the operator of possible conditions that can damage the engine. This includes the detection of an oil filter that is blocked.

The engine oil pressure switch is operated when a pressure of 50 to 80 kPa (7 to 12 psi) is detected.

Temperature Sensors



Illustration 18g03323798
Typical example

The air inlet temperature sensor and the coolant temperature sensor are passive sensors. Each sensor provides a temperature input to the ECM. The ECM controls following operations:

  • Fuel delivery

The operating range for the sensors ... −40° to 130°C (−40° to 234°F)

The sensors are also used for engine monitoring.
