MAP-CONTROLLED CDI UNIT
MAP-CONTROLLED CDI UNIT
A map-controlled, CDI ignition system is used in the YZ450F.
The microcomputer in the CDI unit detects the engine speed and throttle position, thus determining
the optimum ignition timing through the entire operating range. In this way, quick throttle response
can be achieved according to various riding conditions.
Throttle position sensorCDI unitIgnition coil
Pickup coilCDI magneto rotor
Function of Component
Component Function
TPS
(throttle position sensor)Detects throttle valve opening and inputs it into the computer in the
CDI unit as a throttle opening signal.
Pickup coil Detects signal rotor revolutions and inputs them into the computer in
the CDI unit as engine revolution signals.
CDI unit The signals of the TPS and pickup coil sensor are analyzed by the
computer in the CDI unit, which then adjusts ignition timing for the
operation requirements.
Principal of 3-Dimensional Control
Conventionally, ignition timing was controlled only
by engine revolutions (2-dimensional control).
However, ignition timing needs advancement also
by engine load. Thus, accurate ignition timing can
be determined by adding throttle opening to deter-
mine ignition timing (3-dimensional control).

BOITIER CDI COMMANDE PAR PRESSION ABSOLUE DE
LA TUBULURE D’ADMISSION
BOITIER CDI COMMANDE PAR PRESSION ABSOLUE DE LA TUBULURE
D’ADMISSION
Un système d’allumage CDI commandé par pression absolue de la tubulure d’admission est utilisé dans la YZ450F.
Le microordinateur du boîtier CDI détecte le régime du moteur et la position du papillon et détermine ainsi
l’avance à l’allumage optimale à toutes les vitesses. Ceci permet une réponse rapide du moteur en fonction des
différentes conditions de roulage.
Fonction du composant
Principe de la commande tridimensionnelle
Traditionnellement, l’avance à l’allumage était comman-
dée par le régime du moteur (commande bidimension-
nelle).
Toutefois, l’avance à l’allumage est également influen-
cée par la charge du moteur. Par conséquent, on obtien-
dra une avance à l’allumage précise en prenant
également en compte l’ouverture du papillon (com-
mande tridimensionnelle).
Représentation en 3D de l’avance à l’allumage
(différente des caractéristiques actuelles) Composant Fonction
TPS (capteur de position de
papillon des gaz)Détecte l’ouverture du papillon et la transmet à l’ordinateur du boîtier CDI
sous forme de signal d’ouverture du papillon.
Bobine d’excitation Détecte les tours du rotor et les transmet à l’ordinateur du boîtier CDI sous
forme de signaux de régime du moteur.
Boîtier CDI Les signaux du TPS et du capteur de la bobine d’excitation sont analysés par
l’ordinateur du boîtier CDI qui règle dès lors l’avance à l’allumage en fonc-
tion des besoins.
