Crankshaft signal wheel function.
The main role of the crankshaft signal wheel is to accurately determine the position and Angle of the crankshaft, as well as the engine speed. It usually works in conjunction with camshaft position sensors to ensure stable engine operation and optimize performance. To be specific:
Determine crankshaft position: The crankshaft signal wheel, through its specific design and position, allows the sensor to accurately detect the current position and Angle of the crankshaft, which is critical for controlling ignition timing and fuel injection.
Working with camshaft position sensor: The crankshaft signal wheel works with the camshaft position sensor to determine the basic ignition moment. This synergy ensures that the engine can be fired at the right time for smooth and efficient operation.
The crankshaft signal wheel is generally used 60-2 tooth signal wheel, there is a missing tooth part, by the sensor according to the tooth shape and the high and low level signal of the missing tooth part to judge the crankshaft phase 1. This design allows the sensor to accurately judge the position and phase of the crankshaft through the tooth shape and the high and low level signals of the missing tooth, , and thus achieve precise control of the engine operating condition. the special design of the crankshaft signal wheel, combined with the processing of the crankshaft signal by the ECU ( electronic control unit) , is one of the key technologies to realize the efficient and stable operation of the engine.
Monitoring engine speed: The crankshaft signal wheel also monitors engine speed and transmits data to the ECU (electronic control unit) for precise control of ignition time and injection timing, which is important for improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions.
In short, the crankshaft signal wheel is an indispensable component in modern engines, helping engine control systems optimize performance and ensure safe operation by providing accurate position and speed information.
What are the manifestations of crankshaft signal disk failure?
If the crankshaft signal disk fails, it will have a series of effects on the normal operation of the car, mainly as follows:
First, the fault indicator lights up, which is the direct feedback of the vehicle's self-diagnostic system after detecting the problem. Second, when starting the car, you may find that the starting process is longer than usual, because the engine is trying to start normally through the camshaft position sensor, but due to the fault of the signal disk, the starting process is hindered. During driving, the vehicle's uniform cruise function may be affected and cannot work normally. In addition, the engine may appear irregular vibration, and even emit white smoke.
The main duty of the crankshaft position sensor is to monitor the engine speed, and according to this information to determine the fuel injection amount and ignition advance Angle. This ensures that the engine is fired and started at the optimal time, thus reducing damage to the car. However, when there is a problem with the crankshaft signal panel, this series of monitoring and adjustment functions can be affected, resulting in unstable engine operation.
The crankshaft position sensor is usually installed in the distributor, which is an important part for detecting the TDC position of the piston, so it is sometimes called the TDC sensor. Once this sensor fails, it should be inspected and repaired immediately to prevent the failure from expanding and causing more damage to the vehicle.
