Engine’s Electronic Control System
actuators and ECM. This chapter mainly introduces the working principle,
structure of electronic components, circuit and related maintenance.
The basic circuits of sensors usually have 3 wires including power supply,
signal and bonding. Some sensors do not need power, or built power supply
circuit in the ECM, which only have two wires including signal and bonding. If
using the shell bonding, it may only has a link ECM signal line, so that the
circuit is very simple. And some of the sensors’ circuits are very complicated.
The complexity of the sensor circuit depends on the type of sensor itself and
structure principle of the sensor. Sensors in the engine electronic control system
mainly include the switch type, resistance type, pulse type, voltage type
and other types.
Switch sensor is a kind of sensor of the most simple structure, usually has
two terminals. The circuit of it has bonding type and electric power type, in
which bonding type circuit switch connect to the ground, and the electric power
circuit switch connect to a power source.
Resistive sensors are widely applied in the electric control system. And its
structure has variable resistor type, potentiometer type, etc. It usually generat
electrical signals by the principle of the direct-current circuit partial pressure. in
order to guarantee the precision of the signal, the size of a constant reference
voltage is provided by the ECM as its working voltage ( usually 5V).
Variable resistance sensor has two terminals and generally uses bonding
circuit. One end is signal side and the other end is bonding side. Potentiometer
type sensor has three terminals including power supply side, signal side,
bonding side.
Pulse sensor has a variety of different principle and structure form, such as
electromagnetic type of electromagnetic induction principle, photoelectric type
of photoelectric principle, Hall type of Hall effect, magnetic resistance type of
magnetic resistance and so on. The circuit is much complicated.
Voltage sensor usually uses the electrochemical principle, piezoelectric
