Functional description

The engine control unit M10 monitors and controls the entire electronic ignition and injection system. The control unit is supplied directly by the battery - at pin 29 - by the line for the maxifuse EFI of B5 , through the line protected by fuse B35 . The supply controlled by the ignition (15/54) reaches pin 47 from the line protected by fuse B25 . Pins 27 and 28 of the control unit M10 are earthed.

The main relay J10 is supplied directly by the battery from the line for the maxifuse EFI of B5.whilst the coil receives a supply controlled by the ignition (15/54) from the line of fuse B25; it is energized by an (earth) signal coming from pin 15 of the control unit M10 (safety signal which enables the fuel pump) and, as a result, sends a supply:

  • to the four solenoids valves for the methane canisters L60;
  • to the methane adjustment solenoid valve L61 ;
  • to the methane injectors N72 ;
  • to the coil A30 ;
  • to the Lambda sensor heater, through the line protected by fuse B36 ;
The solenoid valves located on the methane canisters L60 are earthed via the inertia switch I50 which, in the case of an impact, interrupts the circuit and prevents dangerous leaks of fuel. (for more details on the methane system safety devices,  see DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION: 1058  CNG FUEL SYSTEM ). The engine control unit M10 receives signals from the various sensors in order to monitor all engine service conditions. The rpm sensor K46 , through a frequency signal sent to pins 53 (positive) and 67 (negative) for the control unit M10, provides information concerning the engine speed: the intensity of these two signals is extremely low and therefore they are appropriately shielded (pin 77). The timing sensor K47 receives a reference supply from pin 68 and a reference earth from pin 54 of M10 and provides information concerning the engine timing through a signal sent to pin 69 of control unit M10 . The integrated air temperature sensor K43 receives a reference earth from pin 54; it sends a signal corresponding to the intake air temperature to pin 55 of the control unit. From pin 68 of M10 a reference supply is sent to the sensor K43 which restores a signal, at pin 75, proportional to the pressure of the intake air. The throttle position sensor K56 is supplied at 5 V from pin 60 and receives a reference earth from pin 54; it sends, through a potentiometer, a signal proportional to the degree of opening of the throttle to pin 76 of M10. The engine temperature sensor K36 , receives a reference earth from pin 54 of the control unit M10 and supplies a signal proportional to the temperature of the engine coolant to pin 62 of the control unit. The same sender unit also supplies information to the temperature gauge and warning light: pin 1 of connector A of E50 . 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 (positive) and 70 (negative ) of M10 ; these signals are also suitably shielded (pin 63). The heated Lambda sensor K40 provides the control unit M10 with information concerning the correct composition of the air/fuel mixture: the signal is sent to pin 20 of the control unit, whilst pin 9 provides the reference earth: the intensity of these two signals is extremely low and therefore they are appropriately shielded (pin 44). Probe K40 is heated by a resistor in order to ensure it works efficiently even when cold; the resistor is supplied by the main relay J10 , via the line protected byfuse B36 ; The control unit M10 controls the opening of the methane injectors N72 via special signals sent from pins 71, 78 and 79. The injectors N72 receive a power supply to enable opening from main relay J10. The control unit M10 also controls the coil A30 through the signals for the coil primary winding, whilst the secondary winding sends the impulse to the spark plugs: from pin 59 for the pair of cylinders 1 & 4 and from pin 66 for cylinders 2 & 3. The coil A30 main windings receive the go ahead supply for opening from the main relay J10 . The idle actuator N74 regulates the throttle by-pass line. It is controlled by the control unit M10 through the signals from pins 57, 58, 64 and 65. The control unit M10 is connected to the CODE control unit M20 via a specific serial line from pin 13; in this way if the CODE control unit does not detect a correct code, it does not issue enablement and the engine is not started  See E7010  CODE . The control unit is equipped with an auto-diagnostic system which can be used by connecting the unit to the connector R10: it receives signals from pin 25 from the control unit M10 through the special diagnostic line. The auto-diagnostic system also produces the signal for the 'injection failure' warning light in the instrument E50, pin 16 of connector B, which comes from pin 26 of the control unit M10. If the engine temperature is high, the control unit causes the relevant warning light in the instrument panel E50 to come on (signal from pin 110 of M10 to pin 8 of connector A of E50 ). The speedometer signal (vehicle speed) reaches pin 50 of the control unit M10 See E4010 INSTRUMENT PANEL . The engine rpm signal, produced by the control unit M10 , is sent to the panel from pin 4 of M10 See E4010  INSTRUMENT PANEL . The fuel consumption signal for the Trip Computer, housed in the instrument panel E50, is sent from pin 74 of M10 See E4010 INSTRUMENT PANEL . The control unit M10 is connected with the air conditioning system through pins 41 and 48. This makes it possible to adjust the engine idle speed as the load increases each time the compressor is switched on or to switch off the compressor in the case of high engine speed or load conditions  See E6021  COMPRESSOR ENGAGEMENT . The control unit also controls the engine cooling system: pins 14, 35 and 40 control the engagement of the relevant fan  See E5020  ENGINE COOLING .
