Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor
E89994
The CKP sensor can be checked during starting
by measuring the resistance and/or voltage with
the oscilloscope.
The engine cannot work without the CKP signal.
A limp-home mode is therefore not possible. The
engine is switched off or the engine will not start
and a fault is stored in the error memory of the
PCM.
Camshaft adjuster solenoid valve
E96870
For work on the camshaft adjuster solenoids,
extreme cleanliness must be ensured as even
slight impurities can result in failure. The camshaft
adjustment solenoids for the intake and exhaust
camshafts differ only in terms of the position of the
fastening point by which they are fixed to the
cylinder head cover.
If a fault is detected in the camshaft adjustment
solenoids, the solenoids are no longer actuated.
Manifold absolute pressure and
temperature sensor
E96146
During installation of the MAPT sensor, correct
sealing must be ensured to ensure that no
infiltrated air can penetrate into the intake manifold
from outside.
If the MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor
fails, the PCM operates with a substitute value.
Accelerator pedal position (APP)
sensor
E74146
The APP (accelerator pedal position) sensor
comprises two separate sensors.

FORD KUGA 2011.0MY WORKSHOP REPAIR MANUAL
• Starting process
• Engine running– Fuel supply to the engine including lambdacontrol
– Ignition setting including knock control
– Idle speed control
– Boost pressure control
– Valve timing via the camshaft adjuster for the intake and exhaust camshafts (including
internal exhaust gas recirculation)
• Refrigerant compressor (activation, deactivation and delivery)
• EVAP purge valve
• Charging system
Fuel is supplied to the engine via a sequential
multi-point injection system. Ignition is performed
by a distributor-less ignition system with one
ignition coil unit for each cylinder.
The PCM optimizes engine power and emissions
at all times by processing the sensor signals and
information received via the CAN databus and
using these for open or closed loop control of the
different variables.
The PCM contains part of the PATS (passive
anti-theft system).
The PCM is supplied with battery voltage via a fuse
in the BJB (battery junction box). This power supply
is needed to ensure that saved data is not lost
when the engine is switched off.
For other power supply requirements, the PCM
switches on a relay in the BJB which is responsible
for supplying power to the PCM and to some
sensors and actuators. Each of these are protected
by fuses in the BJB.
To guarantee optimum engine running at all times,
the PCM has several adaptive (self-learning)
functions. These adapt the output signals to
changing circumstances, such as wear or system
faults.
In some cases a faulty signal is replaced with a
substitute value or limited. A substitute value can
be calculated from other signals or it can be
predefined by the PCM. The substitute value allows
the vehicle to keep on running without the emission
values changing unduly. Depending on the signal
failure, the PCM operates in emergency mode. In
this mode, the engine power and/or the engine
speed is reduced to prevent further damage.
Depending on the faulty signal, a fault code is
stored in the error memory of the PCM. These can be read out using IDS (Integrated Diagnostic
System) via the DLC.
The PCM processes and evaluates the signals
from the sensors. The following sensors send
signals to the PCM:
• CMP sensors
• CKP sensor
• MAF sensor
•KS
• ECT sensor
• TP sensor
• APP sensor
• Broadband HO2S
• Catalyst monitor sensor
• MAPT sensor
• Air conditioning (A/C) pressure sensor
• Alternator
• Fuel temperature and fuel pressure sensor
• Engine oil level, temperature and quality sensor
• Outside air temperature sensor
The following components receive signals from the
PCM:
• Powertrain Control Module relay
• A/C clutch relay
• injectors
• Direct ignition coils
• Cooling fan module
• Throttle control unit
• Camshaft adjuster solenoid valve
• Starter Relay
• EVAP purge valve
• Alternator
• Heating element - broadband HO2S
• Catalyst monitor sensor heating element
• FPDM
• Wastegate control valve
• Air conditioning compressor
The PCM receives the following signals via the
CAN databus:
• APP
•CPP
• BPP
• Vehicle speed.
• Refrigerant compressor request
• PAT S

• Torque reduction request (stability assistmodule)
• Cruise control request
The PCM sends the following signals via the CAN
databus:
• Fuel pump relay on/off
• Engine speed
• Warning lights on/off (MIL (malfunction indicator lamp), battery warning lamp)
• PAT S
•ECT
• Air conditioning pressure transducer
• Outside air temperature
With the aid of the input and output signals listed
above, the PCM controls / regulates engine
starting, fuel injection and fuel pressure, ignition,
boost pressure, camshaft adjustment, tank purging,
the radiator fan and the refrigerant compressor.
Speed and TDC recording
The CKP uses the PCM sensor to record engine
speed and detect 1st cylinder TDC (top dead
center). An additional sensor wheel for the CKP sensor is
located on the flywheel. This has 60-2 teeth. The
gaps between the teeth are required for detection
of TDC. The CKP sensor works according to the
induction principle and generates a sinusoidal
signal voltage whose level and frequency are
speed-dependent.
From the frequency of the signal the PCM
calculates the engine speed. Each time the engine
rotates, the double gap in the sensor wheel alters
the sinusoidal oscillation that is generated; this
helps the PCM to detect the TDC position of
cylinder 1.
The signal from the CKP sensor is used to
determine
• the crankshaft position,
• the engine speed,
• the ignition timing,
• the injection timing and
• the adjustment angle of the VVT units.

The acceleration of the flywheel at each power
stroke results in a change in the CKP signal.
During the power stroke, the combustion pressure
acting on the piston causes an acceleration of the
crankshaft and thus also of the flywheel. This is
apparent in the voltage curve from slightly higher
frequencies and amplitudes of the CKP signal.
Calculation of the ignition angle
Since propagation of the flame front in the air/fuel
mixture always takes the same amount of time, the
ignition of the air/fuel mixture has to take place
earlier or later depending on the engine speed.
The higher the speed, the earlier ignition must
occur. This ensures that maximum combustion
pressure is achieved immediately after Top Dead
Center and that maximum combustion pressure
acts on the piston.
When starting the engine, ignition timing is
determined by the CMP purely from the ignition
map and information on camshaft position (CKP
sensors) and crankshaft position (PCM sensor).
As soon as the engine is running, the following
data are used as a basis for calculating the ignition
angle:
• the engine speed,
• the engine load,
• the coolant temperature and
• the KS signal.
The ignition angle has a major impact on engine
operation. It affects
• engine performance
• exhaust emissions
• fuel consumption,
• combustion knock behavior and
• engine temperature.
The higher the engine load, i.e. the torque demand,
the richer the air/fuel mixture, the longer the
combustion period and the earlier the ignition. The PCM calculates engine load using the MAF
sensor signal, the throttle position and engine
speed. This is done using ignition maps that are
stored in the PCM. The ignition timing is adjusted
according to the operating condition of the engine,
for cold starting for example.

The ignition maps were calculated in a series of
tests. Particular attention is paid to the emission
behaviour, power and fuel consumption of the
engine. The ignition map is stored in the data
memory of the PCM.
By adjusting the ignition timing it is also possible
to influence the engine speed to some extent
without having to change the throttle valve position.
This has advantages for idling stabilization, as the
engine speed and hence the engine torque respond
far more quickly to a change in the ignition timing
