Electronic Control System Components (SENR9939-32

The document discusses the electronic control system components of an engine. It describes 10 key components including sensors that provide input to the Electronic Control Module (ECM) regarding fuel pressure, temperature, air pressure, speed, and oil pressure. The ECM uses this input to precisely control fuel injection timing and duration to optimize engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions. The control system provides advantages over conventional mechanical engines.

(10) Electronic Control Module (ECM)

The electronic control system is integrally designed into the engine's fuel system and the engine's air
inlet and exhaust system in order to electronically control the fuel delivery and the injection timing.
The electronic control system provides increased timing control and fuel air ratio control in
comparison to conventional mechanical engines. Injection timing is achieved by the precise control
of the injector firing time. Engine rpm is controlled by adjusting the injection duration. The Electronic
Control Module (ECM) energizes the unit injector solenoids in order to start the injection of fuel. Also,
the ECM de-energizes the unit injector solenoids in order to stop the injection of fuel.

Refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, "Fuel System" for a complete explanation of the
fuel injection process.

The engine uses the following three types of electronic components:

Input component

Control component

Output component

An input component is one that sends an electrical signal to the ECM of the system. The signal that
is sent varies in either of the following ways:

Voltage

Frequency

Pulse width

The variation of the signal is in response to a change in some specific system of the vehicle. Some
specific examples of an input component are the engine speed-timing sensors, the coolant
temperature sensor, and the cruise control switches. The ECM interprets the signal from the input
component as information about the condition, environment, or operation of the vehicle.

A control component receives the input signals from the input components. Electronic circuits inside
the control component evaluate the signals from the input components. These electronic circuits also
supply electrical energy to the output components of the system. The electrical energy that is
supplied to the output components is based on predetermined combinations of input signal values.

An output component is one that is operated by a control module. The output component receives
electrical energy from the control group. The output component uses that electrical energy in one of

two ways. The output component can use that electrical energy in order to perform work. The output
component can use that electrical energy in order to provide information.

As an example, a moving solenoid plunger will perform work. By performing work, the component
has functioned in order to regulate the vehicle.

As an example, a dash panel light or an alarm will provide information to the operator of the vehicle.

These electronic components provide the ability to electronically control the engine operation.
Engines with electronic controls offer the following advantages:

Improvement in performance

Improvement in fuel consumption

Reduction in emissions levels
