CONTENTS:
This is a system in which the fuel is pumped out in an atomized state to mix with air supply
basing on parameters such as intake air volume, engine Rpm, coolant temperature, throttle angle
position, exhaust oxygen level etc as illustrated

LAYOUT OF S.I.FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM - COMPOSED OF THREE SYSTEMS IE
FUEL, AIR & ECU

THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE
When the air enters the engine through the air induction system, it is measured by a sensor (MAP
or AIR FLOW METER ), then the ECU pulses the injector by switching its ground circuit on to
open for fuel and mix with the air entering. The basic injection quantity/duration is based on the
measured intake air volume and engine Rpm.
The ECU varies the injection quantity for different engine operating conditions by monitoring
other variables such as coolant temperature, engine speed , throttle angle & exhaust oxygen
content to make injection corrections.
The ECU signals the injector to deliver just enough fuel to achieve an ideal air-fuel ratio
(stoichiometric)

ADVANTAGES OF FUEL INJECTION OVER THE CARBURETTED FUEL SUPPLY
SYSTEM
1. There is a uniform air fuel mixture supplied to each cylinder unlike in the carburetor.
2. There is accurate air fuel ratio that can be obtained throughout all engine Rpm range.
3. There is good response in relation to changes in throttle angle.
4. There is excellent fuel economy with improved emissions control.
5. There is improved cold engine startability & operation.
6. Simpler mechanics, reduced adjustment & sensitivity.
7. High power output due to greater weight of air induced & complete burning of the
mixture
The carburetor got more & more complicated to handle all the operating requirements such
as cold starting ( full choke-4:1, cold running (half choke)-6.8:1, warm idling (choke fully
off)-10-13:1, economical cruising (part throttle opening) -15-17:1, acceleration (full throttle
opening)- 12:1.
So the efi system was developed to keep up with emissions and fuel efficiency laws as well
as operating requirements.
A vehicle engine must readily start from cold and to make this possible, 3 main difficulties
must be overcome.
5
1. Inadequate depression due to low cranking speed which made it difficult to produce a
required delivery of fuel from main & compensating systems or their equivalent. This
was overcome by a choke valve , a separate starting carburetor or a device which
increases the size of the fuel jet for starting. In efi system, this is now detected by a MAP
sensor . This measures the pressure in the intake manifold to detect the amount of intake
air using the intake air density to provide the required delivery of fuel from the fuel
supply.
The map sensor or air flow meter sensor works in conjunction with the engine rpm
sensor to produce the required delivery of fuel required.
The injection quantity for different operating conditions is varied by ECU by monitoring
variables such as coolant temperature, throttle angle & exhaust oxygen content to make
injection corrections.
(a) Inability of fuel to vaporize all: This was made worse by cold walls of the
manifold. The fuel could also condense hence leading to a weak mixture passed
into the engine. This could fail to ignite or produce sufficient power to keep the
engine running. This was eliminated by introducing injectors & varying the
ignition timing.
(b) The air supply could be limited after the engine has started or fired due to rich
mixture required at that time.
6
OPERATION
When the engine is cranked, the pistons draw air from the atmosphere through the air cleaner to
the engine through the intake system but the amount of air entering the engine depends on or
varies according to the position of the accelerator pedal, engine speed & load .
The change in the amount of air is also affected by the change in the manifold pressure between
the throttle valve and the intake port. When the piston draws air away from the manifold more
quickly than air can pass the throttle valve ,the pressure in the manifold falls. At idle speed this
pressure is low and a high depression exists. As the throttle valve opens, the depression falls in
value.
The air flow meter sends an electrical signal to the ECU as volume of air or manifold pressure.
This information is combined with the engine speed signal in most cases to calculate the correct
injector pulse width.
NOTE
When air flow is high, the depression is low & vice versa .
The intake system must be air tight with no leaks down system to avoid inaccurate
signals being sent to the ECU.
The amount of air entering is measured by the air flow meter so that a specific amount of fuel is
injected into it to form a suitable mixture to suit the engine operating condition at a given rpm.
The temperature of air influences how dense the air fuel mixture will be e.g. cold air is more
denser than hot air. The air intake entry is away from the engine heat to ensure entry of cool air
so as to increase its mass .
A large mass of air contains more oxygen and so its ability to burn more fuel. The air density in
atmosphere changes at temperatures and altitudes, this means that the air that enters the engine at
different locations could have different amounts of oxygen and this will directly affect how well
it will support combustion.
The design of the intake system determines how large the air mass can be drawn into the engine
cylinder at a given engine rpm. This is where most advantage of the EFI can be taken of since it
can achieve exactly uniform distribution of air fuel mixture to the engine cylinders.
AIR MEASUREMENT
The amount of air entering the engine is measured by the air sensor so that a specific amount of
fuel is injected into it . The air flow meter is classified into two types i.e. mass air flow meter and
volume air flow meters. These include hot wire type (mass flow meter), vane type (volume air
flow meter) & optical Karman vortex type.

Now let us look at sensors at length
SENSORS
FUNCTION
To gather information that relates to some particular mechanical action or thermal effect in a
system and feeds it to the ECU so that it can provide commands to actuators to do a particular
task.
NOTE:
A sensor gives an output signal proportional to the physical quantity it is measuring and
converts it either into an analogue or digital electrical signal e.g. a change over switch
that close & open between hydro power & generator power.
The number of sensors required to control a system efficiently depends on the factors that
affect the operation of that system e.g. the ignition system below has 3 sensors to
measure crankshaft position, engine speed & manifold depression. These provide signals
to the ECU to enable it to time the spark to occur at the correct instant. Each sensor
measures one item only
When greater accuracy of spark timing is required, other variables must be measured e.g.
engine temp & the process. Extra sensors maybe needed to signal the changes that take
place in there or other areas.
A typical general purpose sensor used for a vehicle system has an accuracy of only about
2-5% & a moderate lifecycle. A more accurate sensor must be used in cases where this
error is unacceptable such as pollution control. Signal output to the ECU should relate
closely to the physical quantity it is intended to measure. The sensor used to perform a
specific task has to fulfill the requirements of cost, size, power consumption &
compatibility with other electronic circuits.

2) POSITION SENSORS
3) FLOW SENSORS
4) TEMPERATURE SENSORS
Etc
FUNCTION
It controls the speed at which the engine idles by increasing or decreasing the amount of intake
air that is allowed to bypass the throttle valve basing upon signals from engine ECU.
CONSTRUCTION
The ISC valve is mounted on the air intake chamber or throttle body in order to control the speed
at which the engine idles by increasing or decreasing the amount of intake air that is allowed to
bypass the throttle valve basing upon signals from the engine ECU
The ISC valve above is a stepper motor built into the ISC valve. The meter rotates the motor
clock wise or counters clock wise moving the valve in or out. This increases or decreases he
clearance between the valve & valve seat regulating the amount of air that is allowed to pass
through the valve has 125 steps from the fully closed to the fully open position
Since the air flow capacity of the stepper motor type ISC valve is large, it is also used for
controlling fast idle.

INTRODUCTION
Electronic control modules (ECM) or programmable logic controllers (PLC) are in the computer
family. They are stand-alone microprocessor based control system which is used in commercial
& industrial applications.
An ECM or PLC monitors inputs (signals) from sensor, make decisions based on its program
(written software) and control outputs (commands or instructions) to automate a process or
machine (actuators). They are used for open loop control task and automatic control tasks.
APPLICATION OF ECM/PLC
Simple Controlling applications like ABS modulators, camshafts for variable valve
timing, Automatic transmission shift controls, cooling fans, fuel pumps, idle speed
control valves, engine check light, ignition systems for spark timing, Advance & retard,
traffic lights, slide doors, garage doors etc.
Controlling of extremely complex & powerful automated assemblies e.g. automobile
manufacturing, foods and beverages production plants eg wheat, drinks like sodas etc.
Controlling of conveyor belts or production lines in industrial plants eg steel
manufacturing.
Controlling packaging, machine, equipment, pump stations etc.
11
Smaller physical size than hard wired solutions.
Easier & faster to make changes.
PLC/ECM has integrated diagnostics & override functions.
Applications can be immediately documented.
Applications can be duplicated faster & less often.
NOTE:

13
THE ECM.
The ECM or PLC monitors inputs or signals from sensors, makes decisions based on its program
(programmed instructions or permanent data) and control outputs (commands or instructions) to
automate a process or machine (actuators).
it refers to any time varying voltage, current or electromagnetic wave that carries information
from one device to another.
DIGITAL INPUT
This is an input that is either in an on or off condition Eg pushbuttons, limit switches, proximity
switches, contact closures.
DIGITAL OUTPUT
A digital output is an output that is either in an on or off conditions E.g solenoids, contactor
coils, lamps are examples of actuator devices connected to discrete outputs. A lamp can be
turned on or off by the PLC output it is connected to.
ANALOG INPUT.
An analog input is a continuous variable signal e.g A level transmitter monitors the level of
liquid in a tank. The Signal from the Level transmitter to the PLC can either increase or decrease
as the level increases or decreases.
ANALOG OUTPUT.
An analog output is a continuous variable signal. The output may be as simple as a 0-10v DC
level that drives an analog meter E.g speed, weight, temperature, current-to-pneumatic
transducer that controls an air operated flow control valve.
14
LAYOUT OF THE ECM/PLC PARTS
THE PROCESSOR.
This is an electronic circuitry within a computer that carries out the instructions of a computer
program (system & application software’s) by performing the basic arithmetic, Logical, control
and input/output operations indicated by the instructions. The processor controls how the rest of
the computer operates. The instruction of a computer program (software) is stored in the
computer memory. The processor accesses this information stored in various memory chips such
as ROM, RAM & KAM. When a decision is required e.g injector pulse width, the processor
examines the incoming information from the input devices with that permanently stored in its
ROM memory to arrive at the final decision.
For example different car manufacturers have software related to their interests/car models. The
software could be calibrations, specifications and the engine control plan or strategy. The
following are the various types of OBD used to confirm diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) recorded
by the engine ECU/PLC and these are:
MOBD. TECHSTREAM
This is diagnosis system unique to Toyota used to check the DTC or data for Toyota cars.
CARB OBD 2
This is an emission diagnostic system used in the USA & Canada to check the DTC or data for
items required by USA and Canadian regulations.
15
ENHANCED OBD 2 /LAUNCH
This is a diagnostic system used in the USA and Canada to check items required by USA and
Canada regulations and checks the DTC or data for Toyota.
Each of the above systems displays a 5-digit DTC on the hand-held tester. The earlier type of
OBD used the MIL blinking pattern to check the DTC.
16
THE LAYOUT OF SOFTWARE
ORDINARY COMPUTER
EXAMPLES
APPLICATION SOFTWARE
SYSTEM SOFTWARE
HARD WARE
THE ALU.
This is a digital circuitry that performs integer arithmetic and logical operations by directing the
input and output of a computer system e.g in calculating the pulse width, the ECU through the
ALU first looks Up the base Pulse Width in a look up table and compare it with the incoming
data.
Now using the formula stored in the permanent memory (ROM) i.e. Base pulse width =RPM x
load, it is able to calculate the base pulse width. The crankshaft position or engine speed sensor
delivers the RPM signal and the MAP and throttle position sensors delivers the signal for engine
load. Finally after the calculations, the processer Okays the command to the actuator for action.
17
MEMORY
The memory stores data and allows it to be retrieved by the processor and ALU when required.
Some data is permanently stored in the ROM and it cannot be changed. In the RAM, data is
stored temporarily as long as the ignition key is on. it can be erased and new one written on it. It
stores data from sensors.
In KAM (keep alive memory), the information can be read , erased and new one written but it is
not erased by turning the ignition key off. Some of the data is the trouble codes. Information in
KAM can be lost if the battery voltage is lost or too low, It’s volatile. Information in KAM may
also make changes in how the vehicle is operating based on information from the look up table.
KAM is another type of RAM. The data stored and used by the processor is divided into two i.e.
permanent and temporarily.
PERMANENT
The data include all the various type of software e.g That which makes the computer works such
as system software, operating system, drivers, servers and windows systems. The other could be
application software such as specifications, formulae for making calculations e.g Base pulse
width = RPM X Load, calibrations & engine control plan. The engine control plan could have
data concerning emission requirements, fuel economy, protect engine against abuse, ignition
spark, and idle speed control, exhaust gas recirculation, Vacuum switching, variable valve timing
intelligent (VVTI), electronically controlled transmission(ECT), Antilock braking systems
(ABS), height control, Air conditioning pump , turbocharger and supercharge control.
TEMPORALLY
The temporally data includes all the information from the input devices ( sensors) such as Air
flow meter, crankshaft or camshaft position sensor, coolant temp sensor, oxygen sensor etc.
18
For example when calculating the fuel injector pulse width, the ECM uses the formula
pulse width = Base pulse width x factor A x factor B. Note: The equation is a series of many
factors e.g RPM, load, factor A e.g. coolant temp and factor B e.g. oxygen level. These factors
are all necessary to calculate the fuel injector pulse width as shown below.
In order to calculate the fuel injector pulse width, the ECM is the engine that goes into motion
when the engine is turned on. it continuously receives data from sensors (Temporally data) e.g
factor A which is coolant temp, factor B which is oxygen level, engine RPM and load and cross
checks it with the permanent data i.e. the calibrated values in the lockup tables 1 & 2.
In table 1, the values are the one at the point of intersection between load and RPM e.g when
load is 4 and the RPM is 2000, the value is 8 miliseconds. In table 2, the values are the one that
corresponds to the stated values e.g factor A, 0=1.2, 25=1.1, 50=1.0 etc and similarly for factor
B, 0=1.0, 1=1.0, 2=1.0 etc.
If factor A is 100 i.e. 0.8ms from the table and factor B is 3 i.e. 1.0ms from the table, pulse width
will be 8 x 0.8 x 1.0 = 64milliseconds.
From the example, the control system will make adjustments may be from low to high or high to
low. The ECM will turn on the fuel injector for 64 milliseconds when the load is 4, RPM is
2000, factor A which is coolant sensor at 100 and factor B at 3.
From the example given above, parameter or factor B could be the level of oxygen in the
exhaust. with factor B at 3 could be a point at which there is too much oxygen in the exhaust
according to the designer of the engine , the ECU accordingly cuts back on the fuel. Suppose
more fuel is needed because the throttle has been opened for more acceleration and more air
entering, then the ECU increases the pulse width. This hold the injectors open longer each time
they open to provide additional fuel.
An animal processes information through a network of neurons & a computer through a network
of wires, relays, tubes and transistors. In either cases, the information is meaningful only within
the working rules of its own system i.e. programmed thoughts (in humans) or soft ware (in
computer).
Simple automatic systems such as supermarket & bank doors that open & close without the
touch of a human hand and street lights that come on at dark and go off at night etc posses three
19
essential properties in their communication circuits i.e. they receive information from the outside
world, processes this information in terms of their own operating characteristics or program and
they respond to the information by doing some specific work.
Computers such as PLC or ECM with a higher type of electronic systems are able to alter their
own behavior in relation to received information. Information received at any given moment
results in new information that modifies subsequent behavior of the mechanism. There is a time
element between a stimulus and response and between a response and the corrective action of the
mechanism.
The following are stages of production in an industrial process for the manufacture of ;
20
(3). PRODUCTION OF SODA.
(B). Scanning of bottles for defects. There’s a mechanism for rejecting bottles with defects.
(C). Filling of bottles with soda, gas and sealing bottles with tops.
(D). Packing of sodas in crates. There’s a counter to count bottles to be packed in a crate.
The above process takes place through a system of conveyor belts and controlled
electronically by a few individuals on human machine interface (HMI).
SOLUTION.
The circuit involves a motor that runs the conveyor belt continuously to the paper but this motor
is triggered by the sensor to make the process automatic.

Where A-power source, B-start button, C-sensor (photo electric), D & E- control relays , F-
contactor , G-overload protection for motor & H-motor.
(ii) You are a plant engineer assigned to a project to design a station that automatically separate
metallic from plastics.
SOLUTION.
The system involves a motor that runs a conveyor belt continuously and a pneumatic cylinder
operated by a solenoid directional control valve (DCV) & triggered by a sensor (capacitive
sensor) upon detecting a metal.
After the sensor has detected the metallic material, it triggers the DCV which also activates the
pneumatic cylinder to knock the metallic material out of the moving materials on the conveyor
belt.
21
(5) .The other examples in automotives can be ABS, ECT, ESA, VVTi, EGR, EFI, Height
control etc. The ABS controls braking power by controlling the ABS modulator but based on
signals from Wheel Speed Sensor, The EFI adjusts fuel injector pulse width based on Air intake
and temp sensor together with engine load & others, VVTi adjusts timing of induction and
exhaust strokes when engine speed increases, ESA adjusts the spark timing, EGR recycles blow
by gases back into the engine for re-use, height control adjusts vehicles height when body roll
occurs especially when rounding corners etc. Other systems could be packing assist, traction
control, turbo charger , Air conditioning control, & safety control through alarms & sensors etc.
CONCLUSION.
From the examples given above, in each example there are steps and these can be written as a
computer program or software and programmed into the computer or ECM as in automotive or
PLC as in industrial application.
The steps themselves are a circuit such as electrical circuit that can be wired or installed. This
circuit can be designed on a computer using Autocard and simulated into the computer.
In a step, there may also be sub steps especially in the industrial set up . The conditions attached
to the steps are also included when writing the program or soft ware.
NOTE:
The knowledge of electrical, electronics, logic gates and mechanical is important in the process
of automatic control. Mechanical, electrical and electronics combine to form mechatronics.
So, define the task you want to do, develop the steps & their sub steps if any and write a
computer program using any programming language. Accompany the steps also with a design of
a circuit. Simulate the program or circuit into the computer. Check the physical circuit weather

ENGINE DIAGNOSIS
PRINCIPLE OF DIAGNOSIS
The engine ECU receives signals from the sensors in the form of voltage. It determines the
condition of the engine or the vehicle running by detecting the changes in the voltage of the
signals that are output by the sensors. The input signal voltages are compared with the reference
values stored in the ECU memory and determine any abnormal condition. For example
Normally the voltage of the water temp sensor (THW) should vary between 1.0v & 4.8v. When a
voltage within this range is input, the ECU determines that the condition is normal. If short i.e.
the input voltage is less than 0.1v or broken wire i.e input voltage is more than 4.8v occurs, it
determines that the condition is abnormal.
However, even if the range of 0.1v to 4.8v is normal for diagnostic purposes, it may indicate a
malfunction depending on the engine condition.
38
The engine ECU possesses an OBD (On board diagnostic) function which constantly monitors
each sensor and actuator; if it defects a malfunction, the malfunction is recorded as a DTC
(diagnostic trouble code) e.g. 14 (ignition signal), 21 for oxygen sensor, 22 for water temp sensor
etc. The MIL(malfunction indicator lamp or CHECK ENGINE LIGHT) on the dash board or
combination meter lights up to inform the driver by flashing a series of flashes of diagnostic
codes to assist the technician in trouble shooting these faults.
By connecting the SST in terminals TE1(TC) & E1(CG) of DLC1 (data link connector 1 ) or the
hand held tester to DLC3, you can confirm the DTC using the MIL or CHECK ENGINE
blinking pattern.
The self diagnosis system has 2 modes, a normal mode and a test mode.
If a malfunction is detected when in the normal mode, the ECU lights up the check engine
warning light or MIL to inform the driver of the occurrence of a malfunction (for some codes the
light does not come on such as 42, 43 & 51).
After the MIL has lightened up the driver, it goes off automatically when the malfunction has
been repaired. But the diagnostic code(s) remain stored in the ECU memory Until it is cleared by
removing the EF1 fuse with the ignition switch off or using the hand- held tester.
The diagnostic code can be read by a number of blinks of the check engine warning light when
TE1 & E1 terminals on the check engine connector of DLC1 OR DLC2 are connected. When 2
or more codes are indicated, the lowest number (code) will appear first. E.g. 12 will appear
before 13 and before 14 etc.
If a malfunction is detected when in test mode, the ECU lights up the check engine warning light
to inform the technician of the occurrence of a malfunction except code no 42,43 & 51.
In this case, TE2 AND E1 terminals on the check connector should be connected.
In the test mode, even if the malfunction is corrected, the malfunction code is stored in the ECU
memory even when the ignition switch is off. (Except code no. 42,43 & 51). This also applies in
the normal mode.
The diagnostic mode (normal or test) and the output of the check engine warning light can be
selected by connecting TE1( Normal mode), TE2(Test mode) & E1 terminals on the check
connector.
The test mode function is added to the functions of the self diagnosis system of the normal mode
for the purpose of detecting malfunctions such as poor contact, Which are difficult to detect in
the normal mode. This function fills the self diagnosis system.
39
This will come on when the ignition switch is at ON & the engine is not running. If it remains
ON, the diagnosis system has detected a malfunction or abnormality in the system.
NORMAL MODE
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON. Caution; do not start the engine
(3) Using SST, connect terminals TE1, & E1 of the check connector
(4) Read the diagnostic code as indicated by the number of flashes of the MIL.
DIAGNOSTIC CODES
The light will alternately blink on and off at 0.26 sec intervals
40
In the event of a malfunction, the light will blink every 0.25secs.
The 1st No. of blinks will equal to the 1st digit of a 2 digit diagnostic code. E.g. code 13, the MIL
will blink once and pause for 1.5secs and then blink 3 times consecutively.
If there are more than 2 codes e.g. 13 & 23, after the first code 13, the pause will be 2.5secs,
then blink twice and pause for 1.5sec and finally blinks thrice. If all the codes are finished, the
cycle is repeated after 4.5secs pause. This is indicated below
NOTE:
NOTE:
Diagnostic code 21 use 2 strips detection logic. I.e. when a malfunction is first detected, the
malfunction is temporarily stored in the ECU memory. If the same case is detected again during
the 2nd drive test, this second detection causes the warning light to light up
The 2 trip repeats the same mode a 2nd time. However, the ignition switch must be turned off
between the 1st time and 2nd time.
(5) After the diagnostic check, remove the SST from the check connector.
TEST MODE
Compared to the normal mode, the test mode has an increased sensing ability to detect
malfunctions. It can also detect malfunctions in the starter signal circuit, air conditioning signal
and also those detected by the normal mode.
1) Initial conditions
Battery voltage 11v or more.
Throttle valve fully closed.
Accessories switched off.
2) Turn the ignition switch off.
3) First, using SST, connect terminals TE2 & E1 of the check connector.
4) Turn the ignition switch ON to begin the diagnosis in the test mode.
41
NOTE:
To confirm that the test mode is operating, check that the check engine light flashes
when the ignition switch is turned ON.
5) Start the engine and drive the vehicle to a speed of 10km/hr (6mph) or higher.
6) Simulate the conditions of the malfunctions described by the customer
7) Using SST, connect terminals TE1 & E1 of the check connector.
8) Read the diagnostic code as indicated by the number of flashes of the check engine
warning light.
9) After the diagnosis check, remove the SST from the check connector.
NOTE:
The test mode will not start if terminals TE2 & E1 are connected after the ignition switch is
turned on. The starter signal & vehicle speed signal will be diagnosed by the ECU as
malfunctions and code Nos 42 and 43 will be output, if the operation in step 5 is not done
When the air conditioning is on or when the accelerator pedal is depressed, code 51 (switch
condition signal) is output but this is not abnormal.
NOTE:
please refer to the hand held tester operators manual for further details.
1) After repair of the trouble area, the diagnostic code retained in memory by the ECU must
be cancelled out by removing the EFI fuse (15A) for 10secs or more, depending on
ambient temperature. ( the lower the temperature, the longer the fuse must be left out)
with the ignition switch off.
NOTE:
Cancelation can also be done by removing the negative (-) terminal cable from the
battery, but in this case, other memory systems (clock etc) will also be cancelled out
If the diagnostic code is not cancelled out, it will be retained by the ECU and appears
along with a new code in the event of future trouble
42
2) After cancellation, road test the vehicle to check that a normal code is now read on the
MIL. If the same diagnosis code appears , It indicates that the trouble area has not been
repaired thoroughly.
DIAGNOSIS INDICATION
1. When 2 or more codes are indicated, the lowest number (code) will appear first.
2. All detected diagnostic codes, except code Nos 42, 43 & 51 under the test mode will be
retained in memory by the ECU from the time of detection until cancelled out.
Once malfunction is cleared, the check engine light in the combination meter will go off but the
diagnostic code(s) remain stored in ECU memory.
