compressor, condenser and evaporator etc, it adsorbs heat in the air through circulation of refrigerant, so as to
reduce air temperature in car body and eliminate water vapour in air, to achieve the purpose of temperature drop
and dehumidification. Heating system mainly consists of heat exchanger and heater unit. It utilizes heat of engine
cooling water to heat air via heat exchanger, so as to achieve the purpose of heating. Regulation and control of
temperature, humidity and flow rate of air in car body is realized via heating and refrigeration systems separately
or jointly.

General Information

Fault symptom
Flameout, poor idle speedChapter 9 Engine EFI SystemI. Outline This system includes sensor that detects engine functioning. Engine ECU utilizes sensors installed at differ-
ent parts of engine to measure various working parameters of engine, accurately control oil injection quantity
according to control procedure set in engine electronic control unit, so engine could work in optimum mode
under various operating conditions, i. e. optimal power output, the most economical oil consumption, optimal
exhaust emissions. Engine ECU is capable of start up control, idle speed closed-loop control, air fuel ratio
closed-loop control, canister control, transient operation control, angle of ignition control, knocking control, air
conditioning control, coasting fuel cutoff and overspeed fuel cutoff control, ternary catalyst heating and protec-
tion control, system self-diagnosis etc.II. Inspection of control element1. Manifold intake pressure temperature sensor
(1) The part to measure intake pressure is piezo type sensor, could provide controller with "load signal "
according to the difference between atmospheric pressure and manifold pressure; controller will supply 5V
voltage, and feed back 0-5V voltage to controller according to different intake pressures. The part to measure
intake temperature is NTC type (negative temperature coefficient) sensor, resistance changes with intake
temperature, this sensor conveys a voltage representing intake temperature change to the controller.
(2) Simple measuring method:
Temperature sensor part: (remove joint) turn digital multimeter
to Ohm position, two meter pens connect sensor 1 #, 2 # pinrespectively, rated resistance is 2. 5k ohm±5% at 20°C, correspond-ing resistance value may be measured from the above characteristic
curve. Simulation method may also be used for measurement, spe-
cific procedure is to use electric drier to blast sensor (pay attention not
to be too close), observe change of sensor resistance, here resistanceEngine EFI System-Engine EFI System5-120Possible cause
There is abnormal high voltage or reverse heavy current during useVacuum
unit is damaged during repair
Repair precautions: it is prohibit to use high pressure gas to impact vacuum unit during repair; when replace
sensor case of trouble, check whether generator output voltage and current is normal or not.1 2 3 4Manifold intake pressure temperature

Fault symptom Possible cause
Poor speedup etc Man made fault1 2 3Throttle position sensorFault symptom Possible cause
Difficult to start Man made fault Repair precautions: pay attention to mounting position.
(2) Simple measuring method:
(Remove joint) turn digital multimeter to ohm position, connect
two meter pens with sensor 1 #, 2 # pin respectively, its resistance
value at room temperature is 2k ohm±20 %. Connect two meter pens
with 1 #, 3# pin respectively, rotate throttle, its resistance value shows
linear change with opening of throttle, while situation is reverse for
2 #, 3# pin.
Note: when observe change of resistance value, pay attention to observe whether has large leap.
3. Coolant temperature sensor
(1) This sensor is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor, its resistance value decreases with
increase of temperature, but not a linear relationship. This thermistor is installed in a copper heat conducting sleeve.Engine EFI System-Engine EFI System5-121should drop.
Pressure sensor part: (connect joint), turn digital multimeter to DC voltage position, black meter pen is earthed,
red meter pen is connected with 3#, 4# pin respectively. In condition of idle speed, 3# pin should have reference
voltage of 5 V, 4 # pin voltage should be about 1. 3 V (specific value is related with vehicle type); in no-load
condition, open the throttle slowly, change of voltage of 4 # pin is not large; open the throttle quickly, voltage of
4 # pin may reach about 4V in no time (specific value is related with vehicle type), then it drops down to about
1. 5 V.
2. Throttle position sensor
(1) This sensor is actually corner potentiometer with linear output characteristic. Potentiometer tumbler is
mounted coaxially with throttle, when throttle rotates, it drives potentiometer tumbler to slide to certain position,
potentiometer outputs voltage signal proportional to throttle position. Mounting torque: 20 N.m(Max)
(2) Simple measuring method:
(Remove joint) turn digital multimeter to ohm position, connect two meter pens with sensor pins respectively,rated resistance at 20°C is 2.5 k ohm± 5%. Simulation method may also be used for measurement, specificprocedure is to put sensor work area into boiled water (pay attention to soak for sufficient time), observe changeof sensor resistance, now resistance should drop down to 300 ohm-400 ohm (specific value subjects to temperatureof boiled water).
