LH fuel system 2.2: T16 Lambda, US, CA, JP, SE, EU, AU 79

Operation

The Bosch LH Jetronic fuel injection system is used
for cars with the 16-valve engine. LH is an abbrevia-
tion of Luftmassenmesser Hitzdraht (Air mass meter
with hot filament). The fuel injection system is con-
trolled and supervised by control unit 200, which
includes a microprocessor.

The system receives a positive supply from fuse 22
when the ignition switch is in the start or drive posi-
tion, and a constant supply from +30 to relays 229
and 102.

On the basis of the data stored in the control unit and
the incoming information from various sensors, the
control unit calculates and controls the opening
times of the electrically operated fuel injection
valves (206). The control unit receives information on
the engine speed by sensing the ignition pulses from
ignition pulse amplifier 147 (1987 model) or ignition
system amplifier 146 (1988 model).

Throttle valve angle transmitter 203 provides infor-
mation \on the throttle angle, i.e. the engine load.
The transmitter has two contact positions, i.e. 0°
(idling speed) and 72° throttle angle.

Temperature transmitter 202 is of Negative Tempera-
ture Coefficient (NTC) type and provides continuous
information to the control unit on the engine tem-
perature. In the event of loss of this signal, the con-
trol unit will simulate, by default, an engine tempera-
ture of +20 °C.

Air mass meter 205 includes a platinum filament
known as the hot filament. Regardless of the compo-
sition of the air and the air flow, the temperature of
the filament is maintained constant at about 100 °C
above the temperature of the intake air.

The current necessary for maintaining the tempera-
ture of the filament constant is controlled by means
of a bridge circuit and a sensing resistor, the voltage
variation of which is directly proportional to the in-
take air mass flow.

Since the filament is located in the intake air, it will
gradually become fouled, which affects the mea-
surement results. To keep the filament clean, its
temperature is raised to about 1000 °C for one sec-
ond. This takes place four seconds after the engine
has been stopped, provided that the engine speed
has earlier been in excess of 2000 r/min. This pro-
cess is controlled by the control unit.

In the event of a loss of signal from the air mass
meter, e.g. if the filament should fail, an emergency
system known as the ”Limp-home” function in the
control unit will come into operation. The car can
then be driven, although its driveability will be limit-
ed. When the ”Limp-home” function is operative,
warning lamp 47P, CHECK ENGINE, will light up. It is
located in the combined instrument, and is supplied
from fuse 7. (The lamp can also be energised from
EZK-type ignition systems.)

The engine is supplied with fuel by electrically driven
fuel pump 103 and feed pump 101 drawing fuel from
the fuel tank and building up a pressure in the fuel
system. Boost pressure switch 144 is fitted on cars
equipped with a turbocharger and will trip the fuel
pumps if the boost pressure should exceed a prede-
termined value.

The idling speed is controlled by motor 272 for auto-
matic idle control (AIC). The AIC test connector is
used for the basic setting of the engine idling speed.

Test connector 204 has the following terminals:

1 Voltage to the test connector
2 "Limp-home” (CHECK ENGINE)
3 Timing ratio, Lambda

The control unit is connected to the air-conditioning
system via pin 16, "AC 156”. When the AC compres-
sor is running, the control unit will compensate for
the increased load applied by the compressor at
engine idling speed. A signal (earth) is applied from
pin 12 at full throttle.

Exhaust gas emission control, Lambda

Components for precision control of the fuel/air mix-
ture have been added to the fuel system. Lambda
sensor 136 continually measures the oxygen content
of the exhaust gases, thus enabling the control unit
to adjust the mixture to the most beneficial ratio. The
sensor is heated by preheater 271 (protected by fuse
285 in the wiring).

Automatic transmission

Cars with automatic transmission are also equipped
with switch 76 which will close when the selector
lever is set to "Drive”, and the control unit will then
compensate for the increased load applied by the
automatic transmission when the engine is running
at idling speed.

Fault-tracing hints

When fault-tracing in the wiring for the fuel system,
always observe the following:

1. Always disconnect the 25-pole connector on the
control unit and the connector on the air mass
meter. N.B. These two components can easily
be seriously damaged if measurements are car-
ried out on their terminal pins.

2. Always disconnect the connection to the sus-
pected component.

3. Use an ohmmeter — not a buzzer — for checking
the wiring.

Before checking the wiring, always start by checking
fuse 22 and checking that the supply to it is live. Also
check fuse 7 and the fuse in the wiring for the
Lambda sensor preheater.

For comprehensive fault-tracing instructions for the
system, see the Service Manual, Group 2:3, Fuel
system, fuel injection.

Earthing point 204 on the engine lifting lug is import-
ant for correct operation of the fuel system. If the
location of the earthing point is altered, such as
‘in when other work is being carried out on the engine,
the performance of the system may be disturbed.

Operation

Sixteen-valve engines with Lambda are equipped
with version 2.4 of the Bosch LH Jetronic fuel in-
jection system, which is an update of version 2.2. LH
is an abbreviation of Luftmassenmesser Hitzdraht
(Air mass meter with hot filament). The fuel injection
system is controlled and monitored by control unit
200, which includes a microprocessor.

Anumber of new features have been introduced, such
as:

e Adaptive Lambda control system

@ AIC (Automatic Idle Control) valve with built-in
"limp-home” function. When necessary, the valve
provides a high, fixed idling speed of 1200 r/min.

@ Adaptive idle control system. Normal changes are
compensated for automatically. The idling speed
is controlled by means of valve 272.

® Built-in deceleration function. During overrun
braking, it cuts off the fuel supply within certain
engine speed ranges.

e Anew, electrically-operated relief valve (321) for
the charcoal canister. Controlled by signals from
the control unit. The charcoal in the canister ab-
sorbs fuel fumes in the vent line from the tank.

@ Built-in fault diagnosis system. Gives fault codes
via the CHECK ENGINE lamp.

The system receives a positive supply from fuse 22
when the ignition switch is in the start or drive posi-
tion, and a constant supply from +30 to relays 229
and 102.

On the basis of the data stored in the control unit and
the incoming information from various sensors, the
control unit calculates and controls the opening
times of the electrically operated fuel injection
valves (206). Control unit 200 receives information
on the engine speed by sensing the pulses from the
ignition system.

Throttle valve angle transmitter 203 provides infor-
mation to the control unit on the throttle angle. The
transmitter has two contact positions, i.e. 0° (idling
speed) and 72° throttle angle.

Temperature transmitter 202 is of Negative Tempera-
ture Coefficient (NTC) type and provides continuous
information to the control unit on the engine tem-
perature. In the event of loss of this signal, the con-
trol unit will simulate, by default, an engine tempera-
ture of +45 °C.

Air mass meter 205 is built into a plastic housing. In
the event of a loss of signal from the air mass meter,
e.g. if the filament should fail, an emergency system
known as the "Limp-home” function in the control
unit will come into operation. The car can then be
driven, although its driveability will be limited. When
the "Limp-home’” function is operative, warning lamp
47P, CHECK ENGINE, will light up. It is located in the
combined instrument, and is supplied from fuse 7.
(The lamp can also be energised from EZK-type igni-
tion systems.)

The engine is supplied with fuel by electrically driven
fuel pump 103 and feed pump 101 drawing fuel from
the fuel tank and building up a pressure in the fuel
system.

The control unit is connected to the air-conditioning
system via pin 16, "AC 156”. When the AC compres-
sor is running, the control unit will compensate for
the increased load applied by the compressor at
engine idling speed. A signal (earth) is applied from
pin 3 at full throttle, which disconnects the AC com-
pressor.

Test connector 204 should be used for all fault trac-
ing. When pin 2 in the socket is earthed, flashing
codes will be obtained on the CHECK ENGINE lamp.

Exhaust gas emission control, Lambda

The car is equipped with an adaptive Lambda system,
which compensates for variations in the fuel/air mix-
ture caused by changes in the fuel system.

Lambda sensor 136 continually measures the oxy-
gen content of the exhaust gases, thus enabling the
control unit to adjust the mixture to as close to = 1
as possible. The sensor is heated by preheater 271
(protected by fuse 285 in the wiring).

Automatic transmission

Cars with automatic transmissian are also equipped
with switch 76 which will close when the selector
lever is set to "Drive”, and the control unit will then
compensate for the increased load applied by the
automatic transmission when the engine is running
at idling speed.

Fault-tracing hints

When fault-tracing in the wiring for the fuel system,
always observe the following:

1. Always disconnect the 35-pole connector on the
control unit and the connector on the air mass
meter. N.B. These two components can easily
be seriously damaged if measurements are car-
ried out on their terminal pins.

2. Always disconnect the connection to the sus-
pected component.

3. Use an ohmmeter — not a buzzer — for checking
the wiring.

Before checking the wiring, always start by checking
fuse 22 and checking that the supply to it is live. Also
check fuse 7 and the fuse in the wiring for the
Lambda sensor preheater.

For comprehensive fault-tracing instructions for the
system, see the Service Manual, Group 2:3, Fuel
system, fuel injection.

Earthing point 201 on the engine lifting lug is import-
ant for correct operation of the fuel system. If the
location of the earthing point is altered, such as
when other work is being carried out on the engine,
the performance of the system may be disturbed.
