I have a Cherry GS1005 Hall effect sensor that I'm trying to use as a cam position sensor. It should be triggering off a tab on the cam sprocket but I'm getting no signal on my scope. I have verified the 5V Vcc is there, and I have a 1K pull up resister between Vcc and the signal out (as per...
I have a VR type crank sensor and I'm not sure how to wire it to the harness. Its a Bosch sensor typical on Mercedes cars. I assume one side is ground reference from the ECU then the output or signal is wired back to the appropriate input of the ECU. I don't know the polarity of this sensor. How...
I have a new ECU that I'm wiring to an engine with a significant number of sensors. Each 3 wire) sensor needs to be supplied with a 5v signal from the ECU. Since I cant wire them all individually in to the one output pin of the ECU, what would be the simplest method for connecting them all? I'm...
What would be a good program for laying out an automotive electrical schematic? A schematic similar to the one you'd find in a service manual? Easy to learn The simpler the better.
thanks
I’ve recently started a project for an experimental vehicle based around a Mercedes/Smart 800cc CDI diesel engine. I’m working first on getting the motor running with an aftermarket ECU but am having a tough time figuring out how the cam position is sensed by the ECU. There seems to be no sensor...
