Trouble Code) diagnostic trouble code. If the trouble is intermittent, the check engine light will go out after restarting but the trouble remains in the ECU memory. If it is a current trouble, the MIL will stay on during vehicle operation. Only when the trouble is repaired and the fault is cleared will the MIL go out and the system will no longer have a fault.
Test mode (trial mode)
The diagnostic function includes a normal mode and a test mode (or test mode).
While normal mode performs normal diagnostics, test mode (or test mode) has a higher sensitivity to detect more detailed failure conditions.
Instant data storage:
The ECU stores in its memory the engine conditions at the time the fault occurs. The conditions that existed at that time can later be retrieved and reviewed through the use of a diagnostic tool.
Safety: The ECU has a safety mode if a fault occurs in some items.

diagnostics. This mode outputs the signals to their specified values to make the vehicle drivable.
Try to activate
During the activation test, a diagnostic device is used to give commands to the ECU to operate the components.
executive.
This activation test determines the integrity of the system or components by monitoring the operation of the actuators, or by reading engine ECU data.
Display DTC (diagnostic trouble code)

Depending on the vehicle model, the test connector may be DLC or DLC3 type. DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) can be monitored by shorting the terminals of the connector and counting the number of flashes. If no fault occurs, the number of flashes corresponds to normal conditions.
Read fault codes using SST
One method of evaluating DTCs (diagnostic trouble codes) is to use a handheld diagnostic tool. The DTC numbers can be displayed on the screen of this device.


The diagnostic scanner can also be used to display engine conditions or sensor signals (reference values) in addition to displaying DTC numbers.

LESSON 3 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF SIGNAL SYSTEM
I. IMPLEMENTATION GOAL
After completing this lesson, students will be able to:
- Distinguish between types of signals on cars
- Correctly describe common symptoms and suspected areas causing damage.
- Connecting signal circuits ensures technical requirements
- Disassemble, install, check, maintain and repair the signal system to ensure technical requirements.
- Ensure safety in work and industrial hygiene
II. LESSON CONTENT
1. General description
The signal system equipped on cars aims to create signals to notify other vehicles participating in traffic about the vehicle's operating status such as: stopping, parking, braking, reversing, turning...
Signals are used either by light such as headlamps, brake lights, turn signals….. or by sound such as horns, reverse music….
Just like the lighting system. A signal system circuit usually consists of: battery, fuse, wire, relay, electrical load and control switch. Only some switches of the signal system are on the combination switch. The switches of other signals are usually located in different locations such as in the gearbox or brake pedal……
2. Maintenance and repair
2.1. Turn signals and hazard lights
The installation location of the turn signal is shown in Figure 3.1. The turn signal control switch is located in the combination switch under the steering wheel. Turning this switch to the right or left will make the turn signal turn right or left.
The hazard light switch is used when the vehicle has a problem while participating in traffic. When the hazard light switch is turned on, all the turn signals on the vehicle will light up at a certain frequency. The hazard light switch is usually placed separately from the turn signal switch (some old cars integrate the hazard and turn signal switches on the same combination switch cluster).
Figure 3.1 Turn signal switch Figure 3.2 Hazard switch
The part that generates the flashing frequency for the lights is called a turn signal relay. The turn signal relay usually has 3 terminals: B (positive power supply); E (negative power supply); L (providing the turn signal switch to distribute to the
lamp)
2.1.1. Circuit diagram
To generate the frequency for the turn signal, a turn signal relay is used in the turn signal circuit. The current from the turn signal relay will be sent to the turn signal switch assembly to distribute the current to the turn signal lights for the driver's purpose.

Today's cars no longer use three-pin turn signal relays (B, L, E) but use eight-pin turn signal relays (figure 3.5) (pin number 8 is used for hazard lights).
For this type, the current supplying the turn signal lights is supplied directly from the turn signal relay to the lights.

2.2. FUNCTION, STRUCTURE AND WORKING PRINCIPLE OF SENSOR.
2.2.1. Exhaust gas oxygen sensor
a) Tasks:
The exhaust oxygen sensor is responsible for sensing whether the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas is darker or lighter than the theoretical ratio to notify the ECU. The oxygen sensor is located in the exhaust pipe.
b) Structure: Figure 7-6 shows the exhaust oxygen sensor, which consists of a part made of a ceramic material. Both the inside and outside of this part are coated with a thin layer of platinum. Outside air is led into the inside of the sensor, while its outside part is exposed to the exhaust gas.

Figure 7-6. Oxygen sensor structure
c) Working principles
When the oxygen concentration on the inner surface of the sensor is greater than that on the outer surface at 400 o C, it generates a voltage. If the gas mixture is lean, there is a lot of oxygen in the exhaust gas so there is a small difference between the oxygen concentration inside and outside the sensor. Therefore, the voltage generated by the sensor is low (nearly 0 volts). Conversely, if the gas mixture is rich, there is almost no oxygen in the exhaust gas. This creates a large difference in the oxygen concentration inside and outside the sensor and the voltage it generates is large (nearly 1 volt). The platinum coating on the ceramic element acts as a catalyst, causing the oxygen in the
The exhaust gas reacts to form CO. This reduces the amount of oxygen and increases the sensitivity of the sensor.
This signal is transmitted to the ECU and the ECU uses this signal to increase or decrease the injection volume to keep the air-fuel mixture ratio close to the theoretical ratio.
2.2.2. Coolant temperature sensor
a) Tasks
The coolant temperature sensor (engine temperature) is responsible for informing the ECU about the engine's specific temperature condition in the form of resistance value. The ECU then calculates the amount of fuel needed to be injected in accordance with the engine's operating mode.
b) Structure and operating principle
Figure 7-7 structure of the coolant temperature sensor consists of a thermistor placed in a metal housing with a threaded barb for mounting into the water bladder. There is a connector on the top.

Figure 7-7. Structure of water temperature sensor
- Operating principle
At low temperatures the fuel evaporates poorly, so a richer mixture is needed, for this reason when the coolant temperature is low the resistance of the thermistor increases and
A high voltage signal is sent to the ECU. Based on this signal, the ECU will increase the amount of fuel injected to increase the load capacity during engine operation when the temperature is low. Conversely, when the coolant temperature is high, a low voltage signal is sent to the ECU so that the ECU reduces the amount of fuel injected. The engine temperature sensor is connected to the ECU as shown in the diagram above. Because the resistor R in the ECU and the thermistor in the engine temperature sensor are connected in series, the signal voltage changes when the resistance value of the thermistor changes.
2.2.3. Intake air temperature sensor
a) Tasks
The intake air temperature sensor is responsible for detecting the temperature of the intake air and reporting it to the ECU.
b) Structure and principle
The construction of the intake air temperature sensor (Figure 7-8) consists of a thermistor mounted in the mass air flow sensor.
The volume and concentration of air change with temperature. Therefore, if the air volume measured by the mass air flow sensor is the same, the amount of fuel injected will change with temperature. For example, the ECU takes the temperature of 20 o c as the standard, when the temperature is higher it will reduce the amount of fuel injected and when the temperature is lower it will increase the amount of fuel injected.

Figure 7-8 Intake air temperature sensor circuit diagram
2.2.4. Engine RPM and DCT sensor
a) Tasks.
The engine's RPM and TDC sensors are responsible for telling the ECU how fast the crankshaft is rotating so that the ECU can control the amount of fuel injected and decide on the early ignition point.
b) Structure and operating principle.
Magnetic sensor type crankshaft rotation sensor (Figure 7-9) introduces the structure of this type.
The location of the magnetic sensor on the engine, consisting of a geared disc mounted on the crankshaft, the grooves on the geared disc generate voltage signals, these signals will indicate the speed and position of the crankshaft. The distance between the sensor head and the geared disc is 1.5 mm, the resistance of the sensor varies from 140 - 200 ohms.
When the crankshaft rotates, the toothed disc passes over the sensor head, causing this unit to generate voltage pulses and send them to the ECU. The ECU counts these pulses to know the crankshaft speed.

Figure 7-9. Crankshaft position sensor location
2.2.5. Intake air pressure sensor
a) Tasks:
The intake air pressure sensor is responsible for sensing the vacuum in the intake manifold to send a signal to the ECU which determines the basic injection volume.
