Diagnostics of the crankshaft and camshaft position sensor

First, let's look at what a crankshaft position sensor is. The crankshaft position sensor of the VAZ 2114, like many other VAZ models, is an electromagnetic device that transmits information about the position of the crankshaft to the electronic “brains” of engine control. This sensor is very important; the correct operation of the fuel injectors and the ignition system depends on it. It doesn't break down often. But if you are going on a long trip, it is advisable to have a spare one.

Crankshaft position sensor VAZ 2114

Sensor types

Sensors differ in operating principle and design features.

  • inductive type. Inside there is a metal rod with a magnet at the outer end. It is designed to magnetize the rod. A winding of copper wire is wound around this rod, the ends of which are brought out in the form of connectors for connecting wires. The operating principle of the inductive type crankshaft position sensor: when a steel object is located next to the rod, a signal appears at the terminals.
  • The operating principle of the next type of crankshaft sensor is slightly different. It has a hall sensor inside. When a metal object is brought close to it, its state changes (from logical zero to one and vice versa).
  • frequency Let's look at how this type of crankshaft sensor works. The engine control unit generates pulses of a certain frequency. They are fed to the sensor and when a metal object is brought to the sensor, the generation frequency changes. By changing the frequency, the controller determines the presence of an object near the sensor. The sensor reacts to the metal of the crankshaft ring teeth (on some cars it is located on the flywheel).

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (CPSE)

In short, the crankshaft position sensor (CPS) detects when each piston reaches top dead center (TDC). To calculate the timing of the spark, the ECU calculates the angular position of the crankshaft connecting rod relative to TDC. To illustrate this, the ECU can time the spark to occur 10° before top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke. See Photo 1.

CKP also detects cylinder misfires in post-1996 OBD II engines by measuring very small variations in crankshaft speed. For example, the crankshaft slows down as the cylinder approaches TDC on the compression stroke. After combustion, the crankshaft accelerates on the drive stroke to approximately 90° after top dead center, when cylinder pressure is used up and the connecting rod angle is reduced. When this very predictable deceleration and acceleration pattern is continually disrupted, the ECU stores a misfire trouble code for that cylinder.

Symptoms of a problem

Signs of a malfunction of the DPKV can be different. Often, dirt adheres to the end of the sensor itself, which can interfere with reading. Also, symptoms of a faulty crankshaft sensor may be as follows:

  1. The idle mode is unstable;
  2. Engine speed rises or falls spontaneously;
  3. Power drops;
  4. During acceleration, a “failure” is felt;
  5. The car doesn't start well.

In these cases, for the most part, the VAZ 2114 crankshaft position sensor is replaced.

In addition, the VAZ 2114 crankshaft sensor may well be in good working order. And on the “tidy” the DPKV error will appear (0335 or 0336). The reason for this may be a broken wire near the connector. This is easily determined visually; then it is enough to replace the connector without replacing the sensor itself.

If the owner notices signs of a malfunction of the crankshaft sensor on his car, then this is a “signal” about the need for diagnostics.

It’s not difficult to guess where the crankshaft sensor is located on a VAZ 2114 . Like many other VAZ models, it is attached to the engine, and more specifically to the oil pump, near the generator drive pulley, on its cover. The sensor is attached with one bolt, which is typical for many models of this family.

Here is the crankshaft sensor on the VAZ 2114

Typical causes of failure:

  1. Physical damage to the case;
  2. The interturn closure of the winding turns entails a change in the generation frequency transmitted to the control unit (frequency type sensors);
  3. Emergency wear or loss of pulley teeth.

Functionality check

If you decide to check the serviceability of the sensor yourself, treat this procedure responsibly and carry it out correctly. On a VAZ 2114 car, the crankshaft sensor is checked in several ways.

  1. Using a multimeter. The serviceability of the induction sensor can be assessed by the resistance of its coil. In a working product it is 500-700 Ohms.
  2. On the multimeter, set the measurement limit to 200 millivolts, connect the probes to the terminals (where the standard wires are connected). Pass a steel object several times in front of the core. The working sensor will “see” the metal and there will be voltage spikes on the multimeter display. If there are none, replace the part.
  3. But the most accurate results when checking are provided by an oscilloscope. When using this device, one hundred percent results can be guaranteed; it reads all the information from the sensor while the engine is running. It can be observed on the device screen. The engine, during tests, should operate at different speeds. They start with eight hundred revolutions, then two thousand, and raise it to six thousand. If the lines (on the device screen) are of different lengths, you need to look for the cause of the malfunction. Remove dirt, check the pulley for defects, and so on.

It should be noted that these verification methods work on all VAZ models with DPKV. If you have any doubts about your own abilities, then contact the service. Thanks to specialized equipment, the result will be more accurate, and the check will not take much time.

Remove from the engine

The malfunction has been identified. Let's start eliminating it. Let's look at this operation using the VAZ 2114 as an example.

Turn off the car ignition. We open the hood, fix it firmly, and visually determine where the VAZ 2114 crankshaft sensor is located. Before removal, it is advisable to remove all contaminants in the area where it is located. Next, carefully remove the block with wires from the connector.

Let's take it out.

Removing the DPKV VAZ 2114

After dismantling the sensor, it is advisable to check the generator drive toothed pulley for defects. Since its damage can introduce errors into the operation of the entire system.

After we are convinced that there are no defects of any kind, we proceed to assembly. The seat must be clean. We install the new part in place and fasten it with a bolt (the tightening torque should not exceed 8-12 Newton meters). In this case we use adjusting washers. They are sold complete with a new sensor. Thus, using a special probe, we ensure that the gap between the pulley and the sensor core is one millimeter. The permissible error is 0.41 millimeters in the larger direction.

The gap between the pulley and the crankshaft sensor core on a VAZ 2114

We connect the block with wires into place.

After installation and checking the gap, we try to start the engine. With a confident start and stable operation of the engine, we can say that the repair was carried out successfully.

Despite the fact that the breakdown of the synchronizing sensor is not frequent, knowledge of its symptoms and consequences, as well as methods of elimination, will be useful to the car enthusiast.

New sensors are available in almost any auto parts store. The price of DPKV can vary between 200-400 rubles. How much a VAZ 2114 crankshaft sensor costs depends on your region, the location of large spare parts stores nearby (usually cheaper there) and the greed of the seller. Can be ordered in the online store. When purchasing, take the old one with you so as not to make a mistake in choosing a model. To avoid defects and repeated purchases, it is advisable to purchase from well-established sellers.

MAGNETIC CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSORS

A magnetic resistance sensor is basically a single wire wrapped around a permanent magnet, with each end of the wire representing a positive or negative pole. When the rotating tooth of the iron reactor passes the sensor, it generates an alternating current (AC) signal to the ECU.

photo 4
Oscillogram of the crankshaft sensor

In Photo 4 , notice that the "analog" signal varies between approximately 0.8 positive volts and 0.2 negative volts. Because AC voltage can be displayed more accurately in a laboratory setting than a voltmeter, it is easier to monitor the voltage as it alternates between positive and negative. In this case, the ECU “reads” the DPKV when the sensor signal crosses the zero voltage line. The accuracy of the resistance sensor varies slightly due to the voltage switching from positive to negative at slightly different points along the "zero" line. The accuracy of the resistance sensor can also be affected by the sensor magnet attracting ferrous metal particles from clutch linings or wear parts.

In most applications, the rotor of the number one cylinder is slightly modified to provide a "signature" waveform indicating to the ECU when that cylinder reaches DPCV. When diagnosing a reluctance sensor, it is very important to remember that the output voltage or amplitude is largely dependent on the air gap between the sensor tip and the reactor and the rotation speed of the reactor.

Sensor diagnostics

Before you begin diagnosing DPCV and DPPV circuits using a voltmeter or laboratory oscilloscope, try to understand how the system works by having the necessary wiring diagrams at hand. To illustrate, most DPCV circuits are connected directly to the ECU.

photo 7

But, if ignition occurs through the ICM, the CKP is usually connected directly to the module. Some ICMs receive a digital signal from the Hall Effect DPKV sensor and transmit this signal to the ECU. Other ICMs convert the analog signal from the reactive type DPKV sensor into a digital signal before passing it to the ECU. Once the engine starts, the ECU advances the spark by modifying the DCCV signal and returns it to the ICM as an electronic spark timing signal.

photo 8

Here's an interesting analog or sine wave signal I captured that includes a signature signal. See photo 7 . The EST signal sent from the ICM to the ECU is also bad. See Photo 8 .

Photo 9

It goes without saying that the DPCV signal from the reactor type sensor is well above zero volts, indicating that the ICM may have a poor ground. See photo 9 .
