17.4 System
D Occupancy detonation

Purpose

The knock sensor is a piezoelectric sensor. Information about the detonation in the engine, coming from the knock
sensor, allows the engine control unit to correct the ignition timing (reduce). The knock is due to the detonation of the
fuel-air mixture in one of the 4 cylinders. When a detonation occurs, the sensor transmits voltage peaks to the engine
control unit. Having received information about the detonation in the engine, the engine control unit reduces the timing
of the ignition and simultaneously enriches the fuel mixture.

Moving the intermediate lever. "d" Variable valve lift. A variable lift of the intake valves is effected by means of an
electric motor (7) which drives the intermediate camshaft (19) by means of a worm gear (20). The intermediate
camshaft acts on the intermediate arm (16) located between the rocker arms (21) and the inlet camshaft (17). The
camshaft of the intake valves acts on the valve (22) by means of an intermediate lever and a rocker arm; The position
of the intermediate lever determines the rise of the intake valve, which varies from 0.3 mm to 9.5 mm. The engine
control unit controls the valve lift motor depending on the following information:

 Information from the accelerator pedal position sensor

 Information from the intake and exhaust position sensors of the engine
 The position of the intake valves
The valve position sensor (8) measures the position of the intake valves and transmits information to the engine control
unit.

The valve opening motor

Purpose The valve lift motor changes the angle of the intermediate camshaft position by a command from the engine
control unit. The valve lift motor allows the intake valves to be lifted from a minimum to a maximum value in 300
ms.Placement Fig. 12.15 (7) The motor for changing the lifting of the valves. Description When the ignition is switched
off, the valve lift motor (7) re-learns the end stop, then sets the valve lift amount to about 1.7 mm (lift amount to start
the engine). The position of the change valve motor allows the engine to start. Peculiarities of electrical equipment Pin
assignment of connector:

 Channel 1: Power + 12 V
 Channel 2: "Mass"

The engine control unit converts the 12 V voltage signal into the RCO (cyclic valve lift) by means of the valve lift motor
relay (1370), which controls the valve lift motor (7). WARNING: Do not directly apply voltage to the valve lift motor to
avoid damaging it. Emergency operation mode If the engine control unit detects a malfunction in the valve lift (valve
position sensor, raising the temperature of the valve lift motor (7) above 175 ° C, etc.), the motor control switches to
emergency operation. Function: Motor control computer:

 Produces the maximum valve lift

 Manages the air supply through the throttle valve with electric drive

NOTE: This emergency operation mode is almost invisible to the driver. If the engine control unit detects a malfunction
of the valve lift motor (blocking, temperature exceeding 190 ° C, malfunction of the motor power relay (1370), etc.), the
motor control is put into emergency mode. The engine control unit does not allow changing the position of the intake
valves anymore, therefore the system remains in the last position. The engine control unit uses an electric throttle to
control the amount of air supplied. In this case, the amount of air supplied depends on the position of the valves during
the occurrence of the fault, which significantly affects the operation of the engine. NOTE: This emergency operation
mode may make it impossible to start the engine.
The gauge of position of inlet valves

Purpose

The inlet position sensor informs the engine control unit of the angular position of the intermediate inlet
camshaft. Based on this information, the engine control unit determines the amount of intake valve lift. The engine
control unit compares this information with the accelerator pedal position information and with the information of the
intake and exhaust position sensors of the engine.

of the intermediate camshaft. At the end of the intermediate camshaft (19), the sensor (22) with a permanent magnet
is fixed. The valve position sensor (8) transmits 2 signals under the influence of the sensor's magnetic field. The first
signal determines the value of the angle "e" from 0 ° to 180 °, the second signal is a confirmation showing the angle
from 180 ° to 0 °. The engine control unit uses the angle information "e" of the intermediate camshaft (19) to determine
the amount of intake valve lift.

Emergency operation mode If the valve position sensor is damaged; Function: Motor control computer:

 Produces the maximum valve lift

 Manages the air supply through the throttle valve with electric drive

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor

Purpose The system for changing the lift of the intake valves does not require a throttle to dose the amount of air
supplied. The throttle body with electric drive allows:

 Discharging of 50 mbar in the intake manifold, necessary for the intake of fuel vapors from the fuel vapor
adsorber system and oil vapors
 Emergency mode in the event of a malfunction valve lift change system

The accelerator pedal position sensor translates the driver's request into the engine control unit. The dual sensor
integrated in the throttle valve allows the engine control unit to determine the exact position of the
throttle. Placement Fig. 12.18 (4) Accelerator pedal position sensor. Emergency operation mode In the event of a
malfunction in the valve lift change system, the engine control unit controls the air supply by means of the throttle valve

force. With the ignition off, the emergency mode spring keeps the throttle in the open position (View "C"). When the
ignition is switched on, the engine control unit moves the throttle to the idling position, overcoming the force of the
emergency mode spring (Type "D"). At idling speed, the throttle is moved to provide the required amount of air to the
engine (Replacement of the idling speed stepper motor). Starting from 1500 min-1, the engine control unit moves the
throttle to the other side, helping the spring (View "E"). The throttle position is monitored by the engine control unit
(potentiometer integrated in the throttle valve). The engine control unit turns off the power to the throttle body when
certain faults occur. MANDATORY: Electric throttle valve block. Pin assignment of connector: The throttle position is

Phase failure in camshafts

Changing the phases of the camshafts is based on information from the sensors of the position of the reference cylinder,
the engine mode sensor, the valve position sensor. The engine control unit drives the camshaft timing solenoid valves
to change the position of the camshafts. The mechanisms for changing the phases of the intake and exhaust have the
same operating principle, but are controlled independently of each other. Placement Fig. 12.20 (12) Timing of the
timing system (Exhaust system). (13) The mechanism of change of phases of an inlet cam-shaft. (11), (14) Solenoid valves

 The mechanism for changing the position of the camshaft in relation to its drive is made at certain times of
engine operation (displacement of the inlet camshaft by a maximum of 35 °, and the camshaft of the exhaust
valves by a maximum of 30 °)
 Adapts the filling with air depending on the load of the engine
 Facilitates the cleaning of the combustion chamber
 Improves engine output at partial loads
 Reduces harmful emissions into the atmosphere
 Improves the power characteristics of the engine (in particular, increases the motor torque at low engine shaft
frequencies)

NOTE: The camshaft timing solenoid valves are not controlled at temperatures below -10 ° C. Emergency operation
mode If the engine control computer detects a malfunction of the camshaft timing system (malfunction of the reference
cylinder position sensor, malfunction of the solenoid valve, etc.), the engine control is in emergency mode. Function:
Motor control computer:

 Produces the maximum valve lift

 Manages the air supply through the throttle valve with electric drive
 It stops operating the solenoid valves of the camshaft timing changes

The camshaft timing solenoid valve (1268 and 1243)

Function The engine control unit supplies power to the camshaft timing solenoid valve (1268), (1243), depending on
the engine mode, the engine load and the position of the intake valves. The camshaft timing solenoid valves (1268),
(1243) control the camshaft timing hydraulics. Description Figure 12.21

Timing adjustment system

Description The mechanism for changing the phases of the camshafts is given by the engine oil pressure. The solenoid
valves for phase control of the camshafts (1268), (1243) distribute engine oil under pressure into 4 chambers "F" or into
4 chambers "G". The camshaft is displaced by the oil pressure difference in the chambers "F" and "G". Fig. 12.23. "K":

Proportional oxygen sensor at the input

Purpose The proportional oxygen sensor detects the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gases and on this basis
calculates the exact air-to-air ratio of the air-fuel mixture. The front oxygen sensor allows you to better control the filling of
the engine.Fig. 12.29

"a" Exhaust gas channel. (7) Pumping chamber. (8) Measuring chamber. (9) NERST cell. (10) The reference
chamber. (11) Heating resistor. (12) Electrode. The oxygen contained in the oxygen sensor is pumped into the exhaust
gases by means of the pump current and stored in the measuring chamber. The NERST cell compares the amount of
oxygen in the measuring chamber with the amount of oxygen in the reference chamber. To ensure the value of the
lambda (air excess ratio) 1, the amount of oxygen in the measuring chamber (8) should be equal to the amount of
oxygen in the reference chamber (10). The magnitude of the pump current is related to the flow of oxygen coming from
the exhaust gases, necessary for oxygen regeneration in the measuring chamber (8) and obtaining an excess air
coefficient 1. If the excess air ratio is higher than 1 in the measuring chamber (8), the pump current is positive, the
excess oxygen in the measuring chamber is withdrawn and sent to the exhaust gases. If the excess air factor is less than
1 in the measuring chamber (8), the pump current is negative, the missing amount of oxygen is withdrawn from the
exhaust gases and sent to the measuring chamber. The value of the coefficient of excess air in the exhaust gases,
depending on the pump current. If the excess air factor is less than 1 in the measuring chamber (8), the pump current is
negative, the missing amount of oxygen is withdrawn from the exhaust gases and sent to the measuring chamber. The
value of the coefficient of excess air in the exhaust gases, depending on the pump current. If the excess air factor is less
than 1 in the measuring chamber (8), the pump current is negative, the missing amount of oxygen is withdrawn from the
exhaust gases and sent to the measuring chamber. The value of the coefficient of excess air in the exhaust gases,
depending on the pump current.
 Figure 12.30 "B": Excess air factor in the exhaust gases. "C": Current (mA). The pump current is in the range of - 2.2 to
2.54 milliamps. The engine control computer determines, depending on the pump current necessary to maintain the
excess air ratio 1, the exact value of the lambda signal in the exhaust gases and, thus, calculates the excess air quantity
in the air-fuel mixture. Example. Pumping current: = 0.2 milliamperes, which corresponds to a signal of 1.1. The lambda
signal makes it possible to determine the exact value of the excess air factor. The degree of enrichment of the mixture is
1 / lambda signal. The degree of enrichment of the mixture = 1 / 1.1. The degree of enrichment of the mixture = 0.91. The
engine control computer regulates the excess air ratio, changing the duration of the injection, so that the composition of
the mixture is as close as possible to the stoichiometric (Lambda signal = 1). The oxygen sensor has an internal heating
system, allowing it to quickly reach the operating temperature (+ 650 ° C). Placement Figure 12.31 (13) Proportional

 Pin No. 6: Signal (+): Proportional oxygen sensor at the input

To the oxygen sensor at the input (ON / OFF)

Appointment The oxygen sensor determines the oxygen content in the exhaust gases and allows to determine the
correct operation of the catalytic converter; correct the composition of the mixture due to changes in time characteristics
of the fuel injection system and catalytic converter. The amount of oxygen contained in the exhaust gases is compared
with the amount of oxygen contained in the oxygen sensor coming from the ambient air in order to determine on this
basis the coefficient of excess air. If the exhaust gas contains less oxygen than the oxygen sensor, the fuel-air mixture
will be "rich" if it contains more - the mixture will be "poor". The oxygen sensor 1 compares the mixture composition
obtained by injecting the current fuel dose with a value providing a stoichiometric composition (lambda = 1), to determine
the output voltage on this basis. Lambda signal ratio = Mass of air entering the cylinder / mass theoretical. Information on
the composition of the mixture (poor / rich) is expressed in a voltage: 0 - 1 V:

 Poor mixture = 0.1 V (Lambda (air excess ratio)) = 1.05

 Rich mixture = 0.9 V (Lambda (air excess ratio)) = 0.95

The engine control computer regulates the composition of the mixture, changing the duration of injection to obtain the
composition of the mixture as close as possible to the stoichiometric (Lambda (air excess ratio)) = 1. The oxygen sensor
has an internal heating system allowing it to quickly reach the operating temperature (+ 300 ° C) . Placement Figure

valve of the absorber stops receiving power, the return spring (4) pushes the valve (6), which stops the purge of the
absorber.Phases of action When the engine stops, the absorber purge solenoid valve closes. The adsorber tank
collects gasoline vapor in the fuel tank. When the engine is running, the engine management computer evaluates the
mass of gasoline contained in the absorber, gradually opening the absorber purge solenoid valve to determine the
amount of air / gasoline mixture sent to the engine. When the engine control computer recognizes the airflow through the
absorber purge solenoid valve, it determines the degree of saturation of the absorber with petrol vapors based on
this. The engine management computer reduces fuel consumption through injectors and controls the absorber purge
solenoid valve to get the total amount of fuel required to be injected into the engine cylinders. The control of the absorber
purge solenoid valve corresponds to the percentage of the absorber's purge that varies with the engine speed and
load. The motor computer controls the operation of the electric throttle to provide a reduced pressure in the intake air
manifold. When the absorber's purge solenoid valve is open, the vacuum in the intake manifold allows the gasoline vapor
entering the absorber to enter.Features of electrical equipment The control of the solenoid valve of the gasoline vapor
absorber is carried out according to the RCO type (cyclical opening degree). Pin assignment of connector:
