Intro-4 July, 2001 Theory and Operation EXHAUST/EMISSION REVIEW DAY ONE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION REACTION (AIR) (Continued) HC HC A B EP1076-A/VF Air Injected Directly into Exhaust Manifold or Catalytic Converter The secondary AIR system is used during engine warm-up conditions to help the catalyst quickly reach operating temperature A belt-driven mechanical or electrical air pump is used to reduce the amount of HCs and CO by injecting air directly into the exhaust system The air can be directed either upstream into the exhaust manifold (A) or downstream into the catalytic converter (B) depending on the system used 3-40 July, 2001 Theory and Operation DAY ONE EXHAUST/EMISSION REVIEW Components EP1077-A/VF Mechanical AIR System Components The mechanical AIR system includes the following components: Mechanical AIR pump – The mechanical AIR pump is a belt driven, positive displacement, vane-type pump AIR check valves – The one-way check valve is used to prevent exhaust gases from backing up in the AIR system and melting components with hot exhaust gases Normally closed AIR bypass solenoid – PCM controlled solenoids are “on” or “off” devices that direct the flow of vacuum Normally closed AIR bypass valve – The bypass valve is used only on the mechanical AIR pump system This valve directs airflow to the exhaust stream, the diverter valve or to the atmosphere Diverter valve – The diverter valve receives air from the bypass valve on mechanical systems, or directly from the electric pump The diverter valve directs airflow “upstream” or “downstream.” Normally closed AIR diverter solenoid – PCM controlled solenoids are “on” or “off” devices that direct the flow of vacuum Theory and Operation July, 2001 3-41 EXHAUST/EMISSION REVIEW DAY ONE Operation EP1087-A/VF Mechanical System Item Description Item Description AIR pump AIR bypass solenoid AIR check valve AIR bypass valve A typical mechanical AIR pump belt-driven system constantly supplies air to the normally closed bypass valve When AIR is needed, the PCM sends a ground signal to the bypass valve solenoid The bypass valve solenoid sends a vacuum signal to the bypass valve, opening the valve and routing air to the exhaust manifold through the one way check valve Adding air into the exhaust manifold (upstream) continues combustion This reduces the levels of HCs in the exhaust The additional heat generated is used to help the catalytic converter come up to operating temperature This reduces the levels of HC and CO 3-42 July, 2001 Theory and Operation DAY ONE EXHAUST/EMISSION REVIEW System with a TWC and a COC System with a TWC and a COC Item Description Item Description AIR pump Normally closed AIR bypass valve AIR check valve Diverter valve Normally closed AIR bypass solenoid Normally closed AIR diverter solenoid If the vehicle is equipped with a Three-Way Catalyst (TWC) and a Conventional Oxidation Catalyst (COC), a diverter valve and diverter solenoid are added to the system between the bypass valve and the check valves After the PCM grounds the bypass solenoid, the solenoid turns on, directing vacuum to the bypass valve, which then routes air to the diverter valve The PCM then turns the diverter solenoid off, eliminating vacuum to the diverter valve The diverter valve then directs air downstream into the COC Theory and Operation July, 2001 3-43 EXHAUST/EMISSION REVIEW DAY ONE Electrical System EP1079-A/VF Typical Electric AIR Pump System Item Description Electrical AIR pump Solid state relay (SSR) Secondary AIR injection bypass solenoid Item Description AIR injection diverter (AIR diverter) valve A typical electric AIR pump system does not require a bypass valve, and only pumps air upstream to the exhaust manifold on a cold start The PCM commands the AIR pump “on” and “off” via a solid-state relay as needed so there is never excess air to bypass to the atmosphere 3-44 July, 2001 Theory and Operation DAY ONE EXHAUST/EMISSION REVIEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER (CAT) A EP1080-A/VF Catalytic Converter System With increasing exhaust emissions, a catalytic converter (A) was added to the exhaust system in the mid-1970s Catalytic converter technology has steadily improved, and as a result, the modern day catalyst has become the cornerstone of emission control devices The Three-Way Catalyst (TWC) used on today’s Ford vehicles reduces HCs, CO, and NOx through heat and chemical reaction Theory and Operation July, 2001 3-45 EXHAUST/EMISSION REVIEW DAY ONE Catalyst Conversion EP1081-A/VF Catalyst Conversion Item Description Item Description HCs, CO, NOx CO + O2 => CO2 HCs + O2 => CO2 + H2O NOx + H2 => N2 + H2O The function of the catalyst is to chemically alter or “convert” HCs, CO, and NO2 gases in the exhaust to environmentally safe gases by heating precious metals such as platinum, palladium, rhodium, and ceria 3-46 July, 2001 Theory and Operation DAY ONE EXHAUST/EMISSION REVIEW Catalyst Light Off A EP1082-A/VF Catalyst Light Off As the catalyst heats up, converter efficiency rises rapidly The point at which conversion efficiency exceeds 50% is called catalyst light-off For most catalysts this occurs at 246-301°C (475-575°F) (A) Once the catalyst lights off, the catalyst will quickly reach the maximum conversion efficiency for that catalyst Theory and Operation July, 2001 3-47 EXHAUST/EMISSION REVIEW DAY ONE Catalyst Types 2 EP1083-A/VF The Three Catalyst Types (TWC, COC, and TWC & COC) Item Description Item Description TWC COC Muffler TWC and COC From secondary AIR supply In general, there are three different catalyst system types The Conventional Oxidation Catalyst (COC), ThreeWay Catalyst (TWC), and TWC + COC The only type of catalyst that is currently monitored by On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD II) is the TWC 3-48 July, 2001 Theory and Operation DAY ONE EXHAUST/EMISSION REVIEW Conventional Oxidation Catalyst (COC) A EP1084-A/VF COC COCs were some of the first catalysts used on vehicles These catalysts converted only HCs and CO Secondary air injection was used to provide the extra oxygen needed for proper conversion (A) Since a COC does not provide NOx conversion, most vehicles controlled the air/fuel ratio slightly rich to reduce NOx while using the COC to control HCs and CO Theory and Operation July, 2001 3-49 EXHAUST/EMISSION REVIEW DAY ONE Three-Way Catalyst (TWC) EP1085-A/VF TWC TWCs combine an oxidation function to control HCs and CO and a reduction function to convert NOx The reduction function is made possible by adding materials like ceria Ceria has the ability to store and release oxygen, thus eliminating the need for pumped in air TWCs are used on almost all vehicles today because they are capable of performing conversion for all three regulated emissions 3-50 July, 2001 Theory and Operation DAY ONE EXHAUST/EMISSION REVIEW TWC + COC EP1086-A/VF TWC + COC For some vehicle applications, both the COC and the TWCs were used Some used separate catalysts and some combined both catalysts into one housing Secondary air was injected upstream into the exhaust manifold during startup and injected downstream into the middle of the catalyst system The downstream air provided the extra oxygen required by the COC while allowing the TWC to operate using a stoichiometric air/fuel ratio (14.7:1) Theory and Operation July, 2001 3-51 EXHAUST/EMISSION REVIEW DAY ONE NOTES 3-52 July, 2001 Theory and Operation DAY ONE EXHAUST/EMISSION REVIEW OBDII Since the late 1980’s, the powertrain control system has used On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) to monitor a limited number of systems (fuel, EGR, and O2) and detect input component failures Due to increased diagnostic requirements by the California Air Resource Board, OBD II was introduced OBD II is a real-time on-board monitoring system that is part of the PCM It consists of software, sensors, and a Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) OBD II monitors virtually all emission-related components and systems as the vehicle is being driven The objectives of OBD II are to: l reduce high in-use emissions caused by emission-related malfunctions l reduce time between occurrence of a malfunction and its repair l assist in the diagnosis and repair of emission-related problems MIL The Malfunction Indicator Lamp, or MIL, is located in the instrument cluster When there is a malfunction within the powertrain control system, the MIL illuminates to indicate to the operator of the vehicle that there has been a malfunction, and the vehicle requires service Misfire Monitor The misfire monitor detects variations in crankshaft rotational speed using information from the crankshaft position sensor The acceleration for each cylinder can then be calculated by determining how much time each tooth on the reluctor wheel takes to pass the crankshaft sensor Cylinders that misfire not show the expected acceleration Fuel System Monitor The fuel system monitor looks for short-term and long-term fuel trim values that have exceeded emission malfunction threshold values These thresholds are predetermined per vehicle design, and are part of the OBD II strategies incorporated into the PCM Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Monitor The HO2S monitor monitors the output voltage and response rate of the upstream O2 sensors and the voltage of the downstream sensors for proper operation The front and rear HO2S heaters are monitored for proper voltage and current Comprehensive Component Monitor The comprehensive component monitor looks at any PCM input or output that affects emissions This refers only to inputs and outputs that not have their own monitoring requirements Inputs are monitored for opens, shorts, and an expected value Outputs are monitored for opens, shorts, and expected response for a particular command Theory and Operation July, 2001 3-53 EXHAUST/EMISSION REVIEW DAY ONE Thermostat Monitor The thermostat monitor checks engine coolant temperature to verify that it is within a range of 11°C (20°F) of the thermostat regulating temperature This occurs within a specified time period after cold engine start-up Catalyst Monitor The catalyst monitor reads the upstream and downstream HO2S switches and compares them to each other to determine catalyst efficiency For example, an upstream reading of 125 and a downstream reading of gives a catalyst efficiency of 7/125 = 0.056 EVAP Monitor The EVAP monitor tests the EVAP system for the ability to purge HCs by looking at the HO2S for a lean value and an increase in rpm The monitor also creates and holds a vacuum on the EVAP system to check for small and large leaks EGR System Monitor The EGR system monitor checks components for opens, shorts, and expected input values The monitor also checks flow rate by comparing differential pressures across the flow control orifice AIR System Monitor The AIR system monitor checks electrical components and confirms that the pumped air is entering the exhaust stream when it is commanded to so by the PCM The air/fuel ratio is commanded rich, the air pump is turned on, and the time required for the HO2S to go lean is monitored 3-54 July, 2001 Theory and Operation ... concepts of the ignition system
