1.0.1 What is EMS?
EMS or Engine Management Systems is a system which controls and manages the
engine efficiently. The system consists of an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) which integrates
and controls the sensors and actuators.
The need of the system is to meet the ever increasing demand of exhaust emission’s
regulations, allow better fuel economy without sacrificing the drive-ability and performance.

1.0.5 The Engine Control Unit (ECU)

An Engine Control Unit (ECU) is in many ways similar to a human brain. It senses
signals or messages from various sources and after processing the information, it instructs
an actuator to perform some physical action and stores the data in its memory for use at
some time in the future.

The ECU consists of an 8-bit/16-bit/32-bit Micro Computer,
Random Access Memory (RAM), Read Only Memory

1. “Drive by Wire” (DbW) or “Fly by Wire”
• The DbW (Drive by Wire) is a system that uses a computer to electrically control the
throttle valve opening. Conventional throttle valve opening has been controlled by a
cable from the accelerator pedal to the throttle valve to open and close it.
• The DbW system consists of the accelerator pedal sensor, engine ECU and throttle
body. The throttle body contains the throttle valve, throttle control motor, throttle
position sensor and other components.
• The DbW also regulates the idle speed control and cruise control system, where
available. In case of abnormal conditions, this system switches to the 'limp-home' mode.
1.0.7 Variable Induction Manifold (VIM)
VIM changes the rate of breathing according to engine speed. The short runner
allows air to enter the cylinder at faster rate 1t9o fulfill fast breathing requirement at high
speed. The long runner flows slower air which allows better mixing with fuel.

1.0.9 Variable Valve Timing (VVT)
Variable Valve Timing (VVT) is a control strategy to change the lift, duration or timing
of the valve depending on the engine operating condition
Why VVT?
To improve performance
Fuel Consumption benefits
Emission requirement
Strategy is to vary duration and timing – overlap strategy
Overlap strategy :
Both inlet and exhaust valve open simultaneously.
Before exhaust stroke is complete, inlet valve starts to open while exhaust valve
continues to close. out from exhaust port creates a suction that helps to
The exhaust gas travelling
draw intake charge into the combustion chamber and can improve volumetric
efficiency ( VE ).
During overlapped period, some of exhaust gas will flow back combustion
chamber and EGR will happen which will improve emission.

1.0.10 Immobilizer System
‘Software Locked’
Vs
‘Hardware Locked’
In order to reduce the amount of cars which are stolen, immobilizer system was
developed by the car manufactures. Many different systems are available in the market
depending on the vehicle and the manufacturer. But the basic function for all of them is
the same: the engine can not be started without a proper authorization from the
immobilizer system.

1.0.11 European On-Board Diagnostic (E-OBD)
A system that identifies any malfunction which can cause the vehicle emissions exceeding the limits
When any malfunction is detected and confirmed, Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) or Check
Engine is turned ON to alert the driver such as RPM, temperature and pressure, which is useful
OBD system records relevant engine data
for fault diagnosis
OBD system monitors four main failure modes:
1. Defective Catalytic Converter
2. Engine Misfire
3. Defective Oxygen Sensor
4. Defective of any EMS component

Vehicle Communication Interface
The Engine Control Unit has a diagnosis function, which is used mainly to diagnose the
sensors, a service data output function by means of serial transmission, and an actuator forced
activation function for the actuator test. Thus it facilitates system checks and troubleshooting. It
also has a fail-safe/backup function to ensure passenger and vehicle safety.

1.0.14.1 Multiplexing Wiring System
35
General Overview
A multiplex wiring system has been employed to control power windows, power
door locks and other body electrical systems. It features the minimal number of
communication circuits to transmit multiple pieces of information and is designed by
using advanced electronics technology. Multiplexing is a minimal line system which
transmits numerous signals using one wiring. To transmit numerous signals, control units
(such as BCM, ETACS-ECU, Front ECU, Sunroof-ECU) incorporate multi-distribution
circuits to carry out communication between them.
The following are important benefits of a multiplexing system for a vehicle.
• Simplifies wiring Harness
• Eliminates number of Fuses & Relays
• Provides enhanced Diagnostic capabilities
• Increases vehicle reliability
• Integrates electrical & Electronic systems and sub-systems
1.0.14.2 Electrical System with NO Multiplexing System
Disadvantages:
• More wires and connections
• More weight
• More complex

Advantages:
• Less wires
• Fewer connections
• Less complex

Conventional Control System
A switch and load were connected with a single
line. The following problems arise due to the
increase in the number of control items:
• Complex wiring arrangement
• Increase in weight.
Multiplexing Control System
This system consists of a transmitter and a
receiver. The transmitter utilizes two
communication circuits to connect multiple
switches and loads, and transmits control
information in the form of pulse signal code.
The receiver decodes pulse signals to operate the
corresponding load.

1.0.16 CAN-Bus Networking
The CAN Data Bus is a type of data transfer between control units. It links the individual control
units to an integrated system.
The more information a control unit has regarding the state of the overall system, the better it can
co-ordinate the individual functions. CAN stands for Controller Area Network and means that
control units are networked and interchange data. Bosch, together with Intel, developed the CAN-
Bus Protocol in 1987 specifically for the automotive industry.
45
1.0.16.1 The principle of data transfer
Data transfer with the CAN Data Bus functions mostly in the same way as a telephone
conference. A subscriber (Control Unit) “speaks” data into the line network while the other
subscribers” listen this data. Some subscribers will be interested in this data and will utilize
it. The other subscribers will choose to ignore this data.
