Crankshaft position sensor is a sensor for locating piston by ECM and necessary to find
ignition time .
If the signal of the Crankshaft position sensor keeps its consistency, then it is hard to find
starting and ending point. Therefore, two teeth are taken out from the crank and it is called
Long Tooth and the rest are called Short Tooth. By using long Tooth, TDC ( Top Dead
Center ) is found.
Optical type
Algorithm
This sensor is the most important sensor for the ECM. If sporadic engine stall
happened , then suspect this sensor at first.
1. If the ECM detects fault on this signal, then the ECM stop fuel injection and ignition
2. If the ECM could not detect fault signal, then normal component or not equipped
component might be detected as a fault one.

Data analysis
Camshaft Position sensor is a sensor that indicate the TDC of each cylinders by
the ECM. This sensor is necessary to calculating injection phase. We can
calculate the TDC from the Crankshaft Position sensor but cylinder number.
Therefore ECM recognize the TDC right after Camshaft Position signal. The ECM
use the cam signal located between two long tooth. If the signal of cam is located
inside the long tooth, then The ECM detects it as a fault.

About Sensor
In order to reduce the emission, injection should be finished before intake valve open.
If the fuel is injected on the hot intake valve, then fuel is well vaporized and this helps
good combustion.
Therefore, cam signal is used to identify the cylinder number.
In case of no spark time adjustment type,we can know it by comparing cam signal
position with Crankshaft Position sensor.
Remark :
Since both A and B channels can be used
at the same time, it is better to measure
crank and Camshaft Position signal
simultaneously.

Data analysis
TPS is the sensor to find out how much the acceleration pedal accelerates. If the
line of this sensor is broken, then more than 4.7V or 2.1V of constant signal
voltage can be produced depending on ECM internal circuit..
Sensor type
Algorithm
In order to response to the drivers will quickly, fuel injection is controlled by the
acceleration speed and pedal value. If the pedal value is more than 50%, then the
oxygen sensor feedback control is stopped to control the engine with more torque.
In case of sensor failure, intake air sensor is substituted for TPS. Therefore, fast accel
and decel can not be detected with sensor failure and hesitation can occur.
Remark :
As it is possible to use A,B channels
at the same time, it is better to
measure TPS and intake air flow
simultaneously.

Sensor type
Algorithm
This is the sensor to see how much air flow is coming into the cylinder. It is very
important to calculate injection time. If the line is broken, then there are occasions
when output voltage is over 4.7V depending on internal circuit like TPS.
Mostly used sensors by now are the MAP sensor ( Intake manifold pressure check ),
MAF (Mass Air Flow :the resistance is changed when heated tip is cooled by inducted
air )and Karman Vortex (This sensor monitors vortices generated as the intake air flows
past vortex generators. Air flow is calculated by the frequency of ultrasonic waves that
are changed depending on the amount of vortices. )
The fuel quantity is decided by the air flow and the injector opening time decides fuel
quantity. The calculated fuel amount is compensated more precisely by oxygen sensor
feedback compensation. In case of air flow sensor error, the substitute value is
calculated by engine speed and TPS.
Remark :
As it is possible to measure A,B
channels, it is better to measure intake
air flow and TPS simultaneously.

Data analysis
This is the sensor to compensate the fuel injection to get the stoichiometric air fuel
ratio (14.6). The different voltage is generated depending on fuel richness
( oxygen richness ). According to this voltage variation, fuel injection is added or
subtracted so that always relevant fuel is injected.
Sensor
type
Mostly used sensor now is the Zirconia ( It generate the voltage from 0V to 1V by oxygen
richness ), Titania ( It generate different resistance by oxygen richness ) and UEGO
sensor ( It is used for lean burn engine and it generate different current by oxygen
richness ). Titania and Zirconia sensors are classified with and without heater.
Algorithm
Oxygen sensor produce below 0.5V with rich oxygen( lean fuel) and over 0.5V with lean
oxygen (rich fuel). Using this, ECM inject more fuel when oxygen sensor voltage is
below 0.5V and reduce fuel as soon as voltage is over 0.5V. By continuing this control,
supplied fuel is getting close to stoichiometirc air fuel ratio. This is the feedback control.
In case of sensor failure, fuel is supplied by basic calculation.
Remark :
As it is possible to measure A,B
channels, it is better to measure TPS
too.

Data analysis
The fuel quantity is decided by the air flow and the injector opening time decides fuel
quantity. The injector open by electromagnetic power and close by spring force.
Injector type
Algorithm
The principles of opening ( open by electromagnetic power and close by spring force )
are mostly same. But it is classified into orifice and pintle type by injection hole.
If the signal of Crankshaft Position sensor has the noise or broken signal, ECM stop the
fuel injection until it get normal signal of Crankshaft Position sensor.
Therefore, engine can be unstable or stall.

ISC valve is the valve that bypass the air to keep constant engine speed when
throttle valve is closed. ECM control only the opening of the valve and air is
supplied by the under pressure in the surge tank..

Sensor Type
Coolant sensor is a sensor for detecting of how much engine is heated up and
necessary to control injection/ignition/ISC valve depending on engine temperature.
Because engine load is surely different depending on engine temperature.
Intake air temperature sensor is used to calculate exact intake air flow and
necessary for MAP sensor type. But it is often not to use it with MAF(Mass air flow
)type.
Some of MAP sensor include intake air temperature sensor inside and it is called TMAP sensor.
Mostly used type is a thermistor type that increase the resistance with high temperature
and decrease the resistance with low temperature.

Vehicle speed is calculated by calculating how many voltage over the threshold(normally
1.0 - 2.5V) are generated at one second. If the noise signal is over the threshold, then it is
recognized as vehicle speed.
Vehicle speed signal is
required for AT car to
decide gear shifting level
and for MT car to reduce
the shock during fast
acceleration by adjusting
spark time and fuel
depending on vehicle
speed and gear level.

EGR type
Mostly used one is mechanical type that the valve is opened by under-pressure of surge
tank as soon as solenoid valve is opened. And the solenoid valve is opened by ON/OFF
system or duty system. In case of EEGR(Electric EGR) type, the EGR valve is opened
by electromagnetic power..
EGR valve is opened within the range(2 - 7%) that is not to give big influence on engine
operation. Opening value is controlled not to have big engine vibration. Therefore, in
case of ON/OFF type, ON signal is activated in the area (engine speed & intake air flow )
where no engine problem is found. With the EGR gas, ignition angle should be retarded
about 4 - 8 degree
If the EGR gas is provided into the
cylinder, combustion temperature
is reduced and it is effective on
reducing of nitrous-oxide
emission.

Part type
Mostly used one is solenoid valve type that uses under-pressure of surge tank while
valve is open. This is also divided into ON/OFF and duty type..
Purge valve is opened in the limit area no to give big influence on engine operation.
Opening amount is controlled no to have rpm drop by too much rich fuel caused by purge
gas. Therefore, in case of ON/OFF type, ON signal is controlled to activate in the area
( engine speed, intake air flow )of no engine problem.
If purge gas is
supplied into the
cylinder, mixture is
getting richer. But
as it is
