Circuit Description
Control — Terminal 4 The output circuit is switched from ground to 12 V to activate the component. The output is PWM controlled.
Control — Terminal 5 The output circuit is switched from ground to 12 V to activate the component. The output is PWM controlled.
Component Description
K20 Engine Control Module The control module contains a microprocessor used to process input data to control outputs. The control module controls a series of actuators to ensure optimal engine performance. The control module does this by reading values from a variety of sensors, interprets the data and adjusts the engine actuators accordingly.
M122 Exhaust Pressure Control Valve Actuator The assembly has several functions:
Component Description
The component is actuated by a bidirectional DC motor. The component contains a contactless inductive position sensor. A fixed transmitter coil excites a movable rotor, which in turn induces a current in a fixed receiver coil. The current varies with the angle of the rotor. Electronics inside the sensor convert the current into digital data which is transmitted via a serial data circuit to the control module.
