Provides student study in the area of pollution, namely, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides. The actual vehicle systems that control these emissions are accurately simulated to facilitate troubleshooting. A pictorial on the student panel shows the air and fuel management system and the controls used to minimize emission levels and optimize the air/fuel ratio.
System components include:
- Built-in digital multimeter
|
- Evaporative emission control
|
- Hand vacuum pump and meter
|
- Hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide monitoring meter
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Customer complaint lights
|
|
|
- Air preheat and PCV valve
|
Twenty-five malfunctions are divided into the following categories: engine faults, sensor faults, control faults, computer faults, and assembly faults. ITE's Emission Control training simulator provides a safe and reproducible environment for the experimentation and troubleshooting exercises listed below.
- Operation and function of internal combustion engine
|
- Detection of open fuel pressure vacuum solenoid and evaporator
emission control solenoid
|
- Understanding and measuring hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and
nitrogen oxide emissions
|
- Detection and repair of closed EGR valve, open EGR vent solenoid,
open ground EGR sensor, dirty EGR valve, and zero ECM of EGR vacuum
solenoid
|
- Operation and function of manifold air injection
|
- Detection and repair of bad, open or zero ECM signal in air
switch solenoid, air switch and bypass valves
|
- Operation and function of three-way catalytic converter
|
- Detection and repair of open EFE heater, heater relay coil and
switch
|
- Understanding stoichiometric air/fuel ratio
|
- Detection and repair of open coolant sensor, idle air out coil,
and idle air ECM out
