Functional description

The engine control unit M10 monitors and controls the entire electronic ignition and injection system. The supply controlled by the ignition (15/54) reaches pin 58 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 31 of connector A of control unit M10 and then sends power:

  • to pin 4 of the actual control unit, via the line from fuse F17 of B1 ;
  • to pin 5 of the actual control unit, via the line from fuse F22 of B1 ;
  • to the oil level sensor K31 , to the air flow meter K41 , to the solenoid valves L30 , L36 ; L62 , to the control unit M15 , via the line from fuse F11 of B1
The fuel pump relay T10 of B1 is supplied by the line of the fuse F21 of B1 . It is energized by a control signal (earth) from pin 24 of control unit M10 and supplies power to fuel pump N40 , which is earthed through the inertia switch I50 , which cuts off the circuit in the case of a crash and so prevents the dangerous spilling of fuel. Pins 1, 2 and 3 of M10 are earthed. The diesel pre-heating relay T19 of B1 is supplied by the line for fuse F20 of B1 . It is energized by a control signal (earth) coming from pin 23 of the control unit M10 and supplies power to the diesel heating resistance O20 . Control unit M15, which manages preheating of spark plugs A40, is supplied directly from the battery via a lline protected by fuse F4 of B1. It is supplied, connector C, by the line for fuse F11 of B1 and exchanges command and control signals with pins 22 and 62 of M10 which controls the timing. Connector B is connected to the heater plugs A40. The engine control unit M10 receives signals from the various sensors in order to monitor all engine operating conditions. The rpm sensor K46 provides information concerning the engine speed through a frequency signal sent to pin 100 of the control unit M10 . It receives an earth signal from pin 99 of the control unit. Both signals are weak and are therefore suitably shielded by pin 101. Timing sensor K47 is supplied from pin 102 of M10. It receives a reference earth from pin 104 of the control unit M10 and sends it a signal of frequency corresponding to the timing of pin 103. The engine temperature sensor K36 , receives a reference earth from pin 85 of the control unit M10 and supplies a signal proportional to the temperature of the engine coolant to pin 84. The air flow meter K41 receives a general supply from the line for fuse 11 of B1 and a reference voltage from pin 88 of M10 . It is supplied by the control unit from pin 97 of M10 and sends a signal proportional to the air flow rate to pin 89. K41 also contains an air temperature sensor which sends an air temperature signal to pin 86 of M10 . Accelerator pedal K55 is fitted with two built-in potentiometers (a main one and a safety back-up). The first receives power and earth from pins 78 and 76 respectively of M10 and sends a corresponding signal to pin 77. The second receives power and earth from pins 81 and 79, respectively of M10 and sends the signal to pin 80. The fuel temperature sensor K81 measures the temperature of the diesel entering. It receives a reference earth from pin 83 of M10 and sends the fuel temperature signal to pin 82. The supercharging sensor K82 measures the turbocharger pressure. It is supplied by pin 93 of M10 and receives a reference earth from pin 95. The signal is sent to in 94 of the control unit. The fuel pressure sensor K83 is responsible for providing the injection control unit with a feedback signal for governing injection pressure and duration. It receives the power and reference earth from pin 90 and 92, respectively of M10 ; it then sends the pressure signal to pin 91. The fuel pressure regulator N77 has the task of keeping the value of the fuel pressure in the accumulator constant. The two control signals come from pins 108 and 109 of the control unit M10 . The EGR solenoid L30 controls exhaust gas recirculation. it is supplied by the line for fuse F11 of B1 and is controlled by a signal for pin 16 of M10 . The variable geometry solenoid valve L36 regulates the operation of the turbine according to the engine load: it is supplied by the line for fuse F11 of B1 and is controlled by a signal for pin 17 of M10 . The solenoid valve on the throttle casing L62 shutters and closes the throttle, for example when the engine is switched off; it is supplied by the line for fuse F11 of B1 and is controlled by a signal for pin 15 of M10 . Pin 59 of M10 receives the signal coming from the brake lights switch I30 , with the supply controlled by the ignition (INT) from fuse F37 of the junction unit B2 . Pin 59 of M10 receives the signal coming from the brake lights switch I30 , with the supply controlled by the ignition (INT) from fuse F37 of the junction unit B2 . Pin 61 of M10 receives an earth signal coming from the clutch switch I31 . The injectors N70 receive the opening go ahead supply from pins 117 (cylinders 1 and 2) and 118 (cylinders 3 and 4) of M10 . The engine control unit sends commands to the injectors N70 from pins 119, 120, 121 and 114 of connector A for cylinders 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. The control unit M10 receives the minimum engine oil pressure sensor K30 signal at pin 98. The water in diesel filter sensor K31 ; is supplied by the line for fuse F11 of B1 and sends the corresponding signal to pin 105 of M10 .

The control unit M10 is connected via the CAN network - pins 9, 10, 28 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;
  • heater plugs pre-heating, which is sent to the instrument panel E50 which manages the appropriate warning light;
  • water in diesel filter, which is sent to the instrument panel E50 which manages the display.
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 21 - which is connected directly to the 'EOBD' warning light located in the instrument panel E50. 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 48 from the control unit M10 via the specific tester line.
