ECU Functions & Sensors Overview

The ECU uses a microcontroller and flash technology to control programs and store data. Its main functions are controlling high-pressure generation and start and duration of fuel injection. It also monitors additional vehicle systems through CAN network communication, such as transmission, ABS, and air conditioning. Sensors provide critical input data to the ECU, including speed, camshaft position, accelerator pedal position, coolant temperature, fuel temperature, boost pressure, intake air flow, and fuel rail pressure.

Electronic Control Unit (ECU)

The ECU for the EDC (Electronic Diesel Control) uses a microcontroller and
a program and a data storage utilizing Flash technology. Its major
assignments are control of the high-pressure generation, and of start-of-
injection and duration of injection. In addition, the ECU is responsible for a
range of other functions such as glow control (GZS) and system monitoring.
By means of CAN (Controller Area Network), it is a simple matter to network
the ECU with other systems in the vehicle. For instance with the electronic
transmission-shift control, the Antilock braking system (ABS) or the air-
conditioning system

Sensors:
Speed sensor: In combination with the cam sensor signal the speed sensor
signal delivers the absolute angular crankshaft position to the combustion TDC of the first
cylinder. The speed sensor works on the principle of variable reluctance.
Phase sensor: The Hall Effect camshaft sensor identifies the position of the
camshaft in combustion engines. Together with the speed sensor signal the camshaft
sensor signal supplies the absolute angular position of the crankshaft referred to top
dead center (TDC) of the first fired engine cylinder.
Accelerator pedal module: is used to measure the accelerator pedal
angle. It features a sensor integrated into the accelerator pedal which recognizes the
driver's command and forwards a corresponding signal to the control unit.
Water temperature sensor: The temperature sensor measures the temperature of the
engine, e.g., in the coolant water circuit.
Fuel temperature sensor: The temperature sensor measures the
temperature of the fuel, e.g., in the fuel filter.
Boost pressure sensor: The Boost- pressure sensor is used to measures the pressure of
the aspirated or charged air in the intake-manifold with pressure controlled injection
systems.
Hot-film air mass meter: The hot-film air mass meter serves for the
measurement of the air mass sucked by the engine of diesel injection systems
independently of the atmospheric pressure and temperature.
Rail pressure sensor: The high pressure sensor serves for the measurement
of the fuel pressure in the fuel pressure accumulator (High pressure rail) by diesel
engines with Common rail-injection systems.
