DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Vehicle speed sensor
The vehicle speed sensor is located on the transfer
box behind the transmission brake. The unit has a
multirole as the vehicle electronic speedometer
sensor and as a sensor for ’surge damping’, (a
function which smooths out engine response to sharp
accelerator movement and reduces vehicle ’bucking’).

The sensor is an additional input for engine overheat
protection.

Brake and clutch switches
The brake and clutch switches are located on the
pedal box and serve as safety features to the system.
They return information to the ECM which limits
maximum fuel quantity under braking.

Throttle position sensor
The accelerator pedal is connected directly to a
sensor mounted in the pedal box. Driver demand is
relayed back to the ECM to increase or decrease
injected fuel quantity.

Incorporated in the sensor is a backup idle switch
which the system will default to in the event of sensor
failure.

Boost pressure sensor
The boost pressure sensor is mounted on the
bulkhead. It relays boost pressure information to the
ECM which compensates fuel quantity to reduce
smoke during acceleration.

Electro-pneumatic modulator
The electro-pneumatic modulator is located on the
inner wing just forward of the air cleaner. It regulates
vacuum signals from the source to the EGR valve.
The ECM controls the modulator to open the EGR
valve according to required airflow.

Exhaust gas recirculation valve
The EGR valve is located on the engine exhaust
manifold and is controlled by vacuum from the
electro-pneumatic modulator.

Once open the EGR valve directs a quantity of
exhaust gas back into the inlet manifold to be burnt
inside the engine. This reduces NOx (Oxides of
nitrogen) emissions of the engine.

Temperature sensors
Water, Fuel and Air temperature sensors monitor
engine conditions and relay their information back to
the ECM which makes adjustments to injected fuel
quantity, injection timing, EGR and corrections to
measured boost pressure and airflow.
