Electrical Circuit - The Wheel Sensor Experiment : Using the computer program Crocodile Clips produce a simple ABS layout with wheel sensors. Use the oscilloscope to test the wheel sensors. You must carry out the following tests : 1. Set the motor speed to 50 rpm and the wheel sensor to 1 Hz. 2. Using the oscilloscope test each wheel sensor for operation. 3. Does the polarity of the waveform change. If so why? 4. Set the motor speed to 100 rpm and the sine wave generator to 3 Hz. What do you notice about the waveform signal? One the next screen is an example.

Control System - Modulator. Solenoid Valve Over the next few screens you will see the operation of the hydraulic modulator. The solenoid drawn only represents 1 of the 4 in the system. There is 1 solenoid plunger for each separate wheel. Fluid flow through the solenoid valve is determined by the solenoid plunger, the position of which is determined by current supplied by the ECU to the energising coil. The 3 plunger positions needed to control the system are obtained in response to ECU outputs of 0 A, 2 A and 5 A.

TRACTION CONTROL It has long been known that safety and vehicle performance is improved if spinning of the road wheels could be prevented under driving conditions. When a wheel spins, traction is lost and vehicle control is jeopardised. This control problem arises because spinning of a rear wheel causes the back of the vehicle to move sideways and loss of adhesion at the front results in loss of steering control. Since many vehicles are now fitted with ABS, the speed sensors on each wheel can also be used to signal when a wheel starts to spin. The existence on the vehicle of this sensing equipment means that it is a comparatively small step to fit a TCS.
TRACTION CONTROL - TCS There are 2 main additional requirements of a tractive control system: • throttle controller - varies the output of the engine. • ECU - detects spin at any wheel and overcomes it by applying the brake on that wheel and simultaneously reduces engine power. Vehicles with an ABS system have a dual ABS traction control ECU.
TRACTION CONTROL Throttle Controller Engine torque is controlled either by fitting an additional throttle (electronically controlled) or using an actuator on the main throttle. When an electronic actuator controls the position of the throttle the traditional mechanical linkage becomes redundant so a drive by wire system is employed. Vehicles fitted with this electronic throttle control have the accelerator pedal connected to a potentiometer.
Throttle and Pedal Position Potentiometer Operation The position sensor contains a potentiometer or variable resistor. The variable resistor has a power supply from the ECU (5 volts), connected at one end of the resistor track, the other end connected to earth via the ECU.
Throttle and Pedal Position Potentiometer Operation The throttle/pedal position sensor contains a potentiometer or variable resistor. The variable resistor has a power supply from the ECU (5 volts), connected at one end of the resistor track, the other end connected to earth via the ECU.
Throttle and Pedal Position Potentiometer Operation A third terminal on the sensor connects to “wiper” contact. The wiper sweeps backwards and forwards along the resistance track when the throttle/pedal is opened and closed.
Throttle and Pedal Position Potentiometer 1 volt Volt Farad Amp Ohm Depending on the wiper position the voltage at the wiper contact will vary. On most systems, the voltage will rise as the throttle/pedal is opened.
Throttle and Pedal Position Potentiometer 3 volts Volt Farad Amp Ohm Depending on the wiper position the voltage at the wiper contact will vary. On most systems, the voltage will rise as the throttle is opened.
Throttle and Pedal Position Potentiometer 5 volts Volt Farad Amp Ohm Depending on the wiper position the voltage at the wiper contact will vary. On most systems, the voltage will rise as the throttle is opened.
Throttle and Pedal Position Potentiometer 5 volts Volt Farad Amp Ohm The ECU monitors the signal voltage from the third terminal and therefore has an exact indication of throttle position. The ECU also requires an indication that the throttle is at idle. This may be achieved by having a set voltage range of 0. 5 to 0. 7 volts when the throttle is closed.
Throttle and Pedal Position Potentiometer 5 volts Volt Farad Amp Ohm Wth the multi plug connected, check the following: - power supply, normally 5 volts.
Throttle and Pedal Position Potentiometer 0 volts Volt Farad Amp Ohm Wth the multi plug connected, check the following: - power supply, normally 5 volts. - zero volts on earth path (accept up to 0. 1 volts).
Throttle and Pedal Position Potentiometer 3 volts Volt Farad Amp Ohm Wth the multi plug connected, check the following: - power supply, normally 5 volts. - zero volts on earth path (accept up to 0. 1 volts). - check signal voltage at centre terminal. It should rise smoothly as throttle is opened.
Throttle and Pedal Position Potentiometer 3 volts Volt Farad Amp Ohm If there is no power supply availiable or the supply voltage is incorrect, then check wiring from the sensor to the ECU. If the voltage on the earth circuit is greater than 0. 1 v, then check for a high resistance or poor connection. If the signal from the centre terminal jumps at all, suspect a sensor fault and replace potentiometer.
Experiment : Below is an example of a potentiometer circuit. Task Using Crocodile Clips construct a circuit that would represent both the throttle and pedal position sensors. The ECU is represented by the 5 volt battery (both supply and earth).
