Functional description

The engine control unit M10 monitors and controls the entire electronic ignition and injection system. The control unit M10 is supplied directly by the battery at pin 4 of connector A, via a line protected by fuse F18 of the unit B1 . The supply controlled by the ignition (15/54) reaches pin 17 of connector A of M10 from the line protected by fuse F16 of the engine compartment unit B1.

The main injection relay T9 of B1 controls the entire system: this is excited by a control signal (earth) received from pin 6 of connector A of control unit M10 and then sends power:

  • to the injectors N70 and the coils A30 , via the line protected by fuse F17 of B1 .
  • to the fuel vapour recovery solenoid L10 and the Lambda sensors K15 and K17 via a line protected by fuse F11 of B1
  • to the fuel pump N40 via the line protected by fuse F22 of B1; the pump is earthed via inertia switch I50. In case of impact, this cuts off the circuit to prevent the danger of fuel delivery.
The engine control unit M10 receives signals from the various sensors in order to monitor all engine service conditions. Rpm sensor K46 provides information on engine speed via a frequency signal sent to pins 35 and 25 of connector B of control unit M10: these two signals are very low intensity and are therefore shielded, pin 34 of connector B of M10. Timing sensor K47 is supplied from pin 32 of connector B of control unit M10; It receives a reference earth from pin 20 of connector B and sends a frequency signal corresponding to the timing to pin 24 of M10. The integrated air temperature sensor K43 receives a reference earth from pin 29 of connector B; it sends a signal corresponding to the intake air temperature to pin 14 of the control unit. A reference supply is sent from pin 22 of connector B of M10 to the sensor K43 which restores a signal, to pin 13, proportional to the pressure of the intake air. The throttle position sensor K56 is supplied from pin 32 of connector B of M10; it receives a reference earth from pin 20 fo connector B and sends a signal proportional to the opening of the throttle to pin 3 of connector B of M10. The engine temperature sensor K36 receives a reference earth from pin 29 of connector B of the control unit M10 and supplies a signal proportional to the temperature of the engine coolant to pin 5 of the control unit. The detonation sensor K50 provides information concerning the onset of detonation in the combustion chamber through frequency signals: it sends two signals to pins 6 and 15 of connector B of M10; these signals are also suitably shielded, pin 8 of connector B of M10. The Lambda sensor at the pre-catalyzer K15 and the one at the catalyzer K17 provide the control unit M10 with information concerning the correct composition of the air/fuel mixture: The sensor K15 sends a signal to pin 22 of connector B of the control unit, whilst pin 32 provides the reference earth: the intensity of these two signals is extremely low and therefore they are appropriately shielded. Sensor K15 is heated by a resistor in order to ensure it works efficiently even when cold; the resistance is supplied by the main relay T9 ; pin 11 of connector B of M10 provides the reference earth. The sensor K17 sends a signal to pin 31 of connector B of the control unit, whilst pin 21 provides the reference earth: the intensity of these two signals is extremely low and therefore they are appropriately shielded. Probe K17 is heated by a resistor in order to ensure it works efficiently even when cold; the resistance is supplied by the main relay T9 ; pin 1 of connector B of M10 provides the reference earth. The control unit M10 controls the opening of the injectors N70 via special signals sent from pins 51, 18, 2 and 34 of connector B of M10 . The injectors N70 receive a power supply to enable the opening from the main relay T9 of B1 . The control unit M10 also controls the coil A30 through the signals for the coil primary winding, whilst the secondary winding sends a pulse to the spark plugs: from pins 32, 16, 31, 15 of connector B of M10 . The coil A30 primary windings receive a signal to enable opening from the main relay T9 of B1 . The idle actuator N74 regulates the throttle by-pass line. It is controlled by the control unit M10 through the signals from pins 17-19 and 9-18 of connector B of M10 . Fuel vapour recovery solenoid L10 allows fuel vapours to pass through to the engine intake where they join the mixture entering the combustion chamber. Valve L10 is supplied by the main relay T9 of B1 ; it is opened by the control unit when the engine is loaded by a signal from pin 26 of connector B of M10. The control unit M10 receives the signal for the minimum engine oil pressure sensor K30 at pin 23 of connector B.

The control unit M10 is connected via the CAN network - pins 20 and 29 - to the Body Computer M1 and the other nodes on the network: through this connection, it sends information concerning:

  • system self-test, which can be used by connecting to connector C of M1 .
  • engine water temperature, which is sent to the instrument panel E50 which manages the relevant gauge and warning light;
  • rpm, which is sent to the rev counter of the instrument panel E50 ;
  • engine oil minimum pressure, which is sent to instrument panel E50 which manages the relevant warning light;
It receives, via CAN, the speedometer signal generated by the ABS control unit M50 The self-test system of the control unit M10 also generates a signal - which comes from pin 13 of connector A - which is connected directly to the 'EOBD' warning light located in the instrument panel E50. The check function inside the instrument panel E50 also controls the intervention of the inertia switch, any faults in the engine temperature sensor and the oil pressure sensor: if faults are detected, the 'fault' warning light is switched on. The self-test data can be read by connecting to connector C of the Body Computer M1 - pin 7: it receives the signals from pin 13 of connector A from the control unit M10 via the specific tester line.
