PROGRAMME IGNITION INTRODUCTION


This system incorporates standard constant energy features,
except timing is controlled using digital electronic techniques,
instead of the conventional mechanical and vacuum advance.
An electronic control unit (ECU) determines the correct ignition
timing by receiving information from the following sensors:1. Crankshaft sensor (Crankshaft position and engine speed)
2. Temperature sensor (Coolant temperature)
3. Knock sensor (Combustion detonation pinking)
4. Carburetor vacuum pipe (engine load)
A major advantage of this system is a knock sensing facility,
enabling the engine to run close to its limits of ignition advance.
This improves efficiency, without detonation occurring.

RELUCTOR DISC
RELUCTOR DISC
Secured to the flywheel. The disc contains a number of teeth spaced at 10 degree intervals,
however there are two positions 180 degrees apart where teeth are missing, these positions will
inform the computer TDC No 1 and 4 cylinders. The missing teeth will provide basic ignition
timing and all the other teeth will inform the ECU crankshaft position and engine speed.

KNOCK SENSOR
The knock sensor is a piezo electric accelerometer which produces an output voltage, to the
ECU proportional to the sensed vibration. This vibration is produced by general mechanical
noise and combustion detonation. Sophisticated electronic processing is used to recognized the
latter from mechanical noise.

The sensor will inform the ECU that a knock has


been detected. For example the knock could have
been detected from No1 cylinder, the ECU will
note the knock, and on a 4 cylinder engine it
will count 4 firing pulses, this will then be back to
the cylinder with the knock, the ECU will retard
the ignition timing by 5 degrees until the knock
is eliminated. The ECU will then advance the
timing for that same cylinder in steps of 0.625
degrees every 8 engine revolutions.

COOLANT TEMPATURE SENSOR


Coolant temperature correction
This function is provided to ensure optimum driveability at low temperatures by either
advancing or retarding the basic ignition and the data is stored subject to a load correction
value below +70 degrees C coolant temperature.

CRANKSHAFT SENSOR
The crankshaft sensor contains a magnet and a coil of wire when the reluctor teeth pass the
sensor an AC pulse of electricity is produced an d this pulse is passed to the ECU. The next
few screens will simulate its operation.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT


This unit consists of a plastic case which contains the electronic components mounted on a
printed circuit board. All connections are via a 12 pin plug and socket assembly which are
protected against short circuit and reverse polarity.
The ECU has three main functions:1. To control ignition timing electronically using information received from the crankshaft
sensor (engine speed and position), inlet manifold depression (engine load), knock sensor and
coolant temperature sensor.
2. To provide a constant energy drive to the
ignition coil, controlling both coil on and off.
3. a) Provide flat ignition timing for idle
speed control on vehicles equipped with
fuel injection.
b) Provide an output for a turbo
boost gauge.
c) Provide an output for a
coolant temperature gauge on vehicles without automatic choke control.
