What is EMS?
■ EMS is a type of electronic control unit that controls the running of
an engine by monitoring the engine speed and ensure optimal
engine performance.
■ It also measures the exact quantity of fuel required to start a engine.
Why Cars need an EMS?
■ Engine management system is now-a-days, used in many of the
modern cars which includes many electronic control systems such
as microcontrollers for the control of various engine factors.
■ It is required for to mange the power train.
■ Also it helps to maintain the proper coordination within engine’s
ignition system, fuel injection system and emission control.
Key points of EMS
■ Electronic Fuel Injection System
■ Air Induction System/Control
■ Fuel Delivery System/Control
■ Electronic Control System
■ Fuel Injector Sequential
■ Air flow Sensor
■ Air temperature Sensor
■ Throttle position sensor (TPS)
■ Temperature Sensor
■ Oxygen Sensor
■ Idle air control valve
■ MAP Sensor
■ Knock Sensor
■ Engine Speed Sensor
■ Engine Oil Sensor
■ Crankshaft Sensor
Electronic Fuel Injection System
■ It determine the amount of fuel to inject into the engine and when to
fire the spark plugs.
■ Achieve the most horsepower with the least amount of fuel.
Air Induction System/Control
■ It Filter’s and measure the air flow into the engine
Fuel Delivery System/Control
It helps to measure:
■ Fuel Efficiency
■ Emission Performance
■ Engine Tuning
Electronic Control System
■ It helps to inject the correct amount of fuel at correct time and speed.
Electronic control Unit
■ It controls more than one electric systems and Sub-Systems in a
motor vehicle.
■ It helps in regulating and maintaining the amount of fuel and air
the engine needs to increase horsepower.
Fuel Injector Sequential
■ It’s a type of multi-port injection system in which injection valve will
open just before the cylinder intake valve opens.
■ It has the fast response time when the driver makes a quick
change.
Air flow Sensor
■ An air flow meter is a device the measure the actual speed of the air
flowing thought the engine in different segments.
Air temperature Sensor
■ It helps to measure the air density for fuel mixture control and to
trim the air flow ratio according to the airflow density.
Throttle Position Sensor
■ This sensor is used to monitor the throttle position of a car.
■ This sensor moves with the throttle and sends a voltage signal to
the computer indicating throttle angle and speed of movement.
■ The computer uses this data to measure engine load, adjust
timing, fuel delivery etc.
Temperature Sensor
■ Temperature sensors include analog and digital sensor IC’s
designed for temperature monitoring of a system.
■ It is helpful in monitoring engine coolant temperature.
Oxygen Sensor
■ It measures the proportion of Oxygen to fuel in the engine.
Idle air control valve (IACV)
■ The idle air control valve is also known as idle sped control valve;
regulates the idle speed of the engine.
MAP Sensor
■ This sensor measure air pressure which tells engine the current
altitude of a vehicle.
Knock Sensor
■ The Knock Sensor detects engine knock and sends a voltage signal to
the engine and the engine uses the signal to control the timing.
Engine Speed Sensor
■ An engine speed sensor is attached to crankshaft of car’s engine and
it indicate the speed that crankshaft is spinning.
■ This information is beneficial to control both the ignition timing and
EMS.
Engine Oil Sensor
■ It measures the oil pressure inside the engine and gives an alert in
case of any problem with oil pressure.
Crankshaft Sensor
■ It is used to monitor the position and rotational speed of crankshaft
and these information will be used by the EMS to control the ignition
system timing and other engine parameters.
Camshaft Sensor
■ The Camshaft sensor determines which cylinder is firing to establish
injector synchronization and coil firing sequence in DIS systems then
only crankshaft sensor set ignition timing, supply the signal and
measure the speed.
Multi-point Fuel Injection
■ In this system each cylinder has number of injectors to supply/spray
fuel in cylinders as compared to one injector located centrally to
supply/spray fuel in case of signal point injection system
