VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT ENGINE CONTROL MANAGEMENT DIGIFANT 2 (II).







The Bosch AFC Digifant system is a computer-controlled fuel injection system. The system does not use cold start injector or thermo time switch for cold start enrichment. Different sensors and switches, along with Electronic Control Unit (ECU), regulate fuel injection and ignition timing.
It Uses two cpu's, One is a MAF80A39 (Intel 80A39) and another Motorola Cpu for DSP.




Digifant II was the secondin a line of Digifant injection systems (Digijet was Volkswagen's first electronic injection system, then Digifant I, which is very similar to Digifant II, were both used on the Vanagon in the early 80s). Unlike Digijet, it integrates digital ignition control as well. It is full electronic, and uses individual electronically controlled injectors, which are batch-fired. It has integrated fault memory and diagnosis, and was equipped with an OBD fault warning light in California models before the more emissions-specific Digifant I was released. Digifant II receives information from the hall generator (provides engine speed), the air flow sensor (provides engine load), the coolant temperature sensor, the air intake temperature sensor, the oxygen sensor, basic throttle position, and the knock sensor to adjust the fuel/air mixture.
Unlike Jetronic or Motronic, the engine control unit has full control of the fuel mixture, taking into account engine load and speed, and referencing a map to produce a value for injector timing (all injectors are wired in parallel and are batch fired). Adjustments are made for a cold engine, high load (A/C), idle, or full throttle. Ignition timing is referenced in the same way, taking into account knock, in addition to load and speed.


Electronic Control Unit BOSCH DIGIFANT 2 0 261 200 298 037906022N DF1.
The ECU controls all engine operations, and limits maximum engine speed. It receives information from various input devices.
The ECU is a micro-computer. It is constructed from printed circuitry, and contains a large number of electrical components, including many semiconductor devices.
Its input devices receive data as electrical signals. They come from sensors and components at various locations around the engine. Its processing unit compares incoming data with data stored in a memory unit. The memory unit contains basic data about how the engine is to operate. And an output device pulses the electrical circuit of the solenoid-type injection valves.
It is normally located in a safe place, behind a kick-panel in the foot-well, under the passenger seat, or in the boot, and connected by a multi-plug, or plugs, to the vehicle’s wiring harness.
The core function of a basic ECU in an EFI system is to control the pulse width of the injector. More sophisticated models also control other functions such as idle speed, ignition timing, and the fuel pump. These wider systems are called engine management systems. The more precise control they allow is very effective in reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
The ECU adjusts quickly to changing conditions by using what are called programmed characteristic maps, stored in the memory unit. They are programmed into the ECU, just as data is programmed into a computer. Characteristics means the engine’s operating conditions. And they are called maps because they map all of the operating conditions for the engine.
They are constructed first from dynamometer tests, then fine-tuned, to optimise the operating conditions and to comply with emission regulations. This data is stored electronically.
Ignition timing is crucial in this process. Between one spark and the next, the ECU uses data it receives on engine load and speed to determine when the next ignition point will occur. It can also correct the map value, using extra information such as engine coolant temperature, intake air temperature, or throttle position. Putting all of this together, it arrives at the best ignition point for that operating condition.

Functional Description
Multiplexer. The device contains an 8-channel single-ended
analog signal multiplexer. A particular input channel is selected
by using the address decoder. Table 1 shows the input
states for the address lines to select any channel. The
address is latched into the decoder on the low-to-high transition
of the address latch enable signal.

CONVERTER CHARACTERISTICS
The Converter
The heart of this single chip data acquisition system is its
8-bit analog-to-digital converter. The converter is designed to
give fast, accurate, and repeatable conversions over a wide
range of temperatures. The converter is partitioned into 3
major sections: the 256R ladder network, the successive
approximation register, and the comparator. The converter’s
digital outputs are positive true.
The 256R ladder network approach (Figure 1) was chosen
over the conventional R/2R ladder because of its inherent
monotonicity, which guarantees no missing digital codes.
Monotonicity is particularly important in closed loop feedback
control systems. A non-monotonic relationship can cause
oscillations that will be catastrophic for the system. Additionally,
the 256R network does not cause load variations on the
reference voltage.
The bottom resistor and the top resistor of the ladder network
in Figure 1 are not the same value as the remainder of
the network. The difference in these resistors causes the
output characteristic to be symmetrical with the zero and
full-scale points of the transfer curve. The first output transition
occurs when the analog signal has reached +1⁄2 LSB
and succeeding output transitions occur every 1 LSB later up
to full-scale.
The successive approximation register (SAR) performs 8
iterations to approximate the input voltage. For any SAR
type converter, n-iterations are required for an n-bit converter.
Figure 2 shows a typical example of a 3-bit converter.
In the ADC0808, ADC0809, the approximation technique is
extended to 8 bits using the 256R network.
The A/D converter’s successive approximation register
(SAR) is reset on the positive edge of the start conversion
start pulse. The conversion is begun on the falling edge of
the start conversion pulse. A conversion in process will be
interrupted by receipt of a new start conversion pulse. Continuous
conversion may be accomplished by tying the
end-of-conversion (EOC) output to the SC input. If used in
this mode, an external start conversion pulse should be
applied after power up. End-of-conversion will go low between
0 and 8 clock pulses after the rising edge of start
conversion.
The most important section of the A/D converter is the
comparator. It is this section which is responsible for the
ultimate accuracy of the entire converter. It is also the comparator
drift which has the greatest influence on the repeatability
of the device. A chopper-stabilized comparator provides
the most effective method of satisfying all the
converter requirements.
The chopper-stabilized comparator converts the DC input
signal into an AC signal. This signal is then fed through a
high gain AC amplifier and has the DC level restored. This
technique limits the drift component of the amplifier since the
drift is a DC component which is not passed by the AC
amplifier. This makes the entire A/D converter extremely
insensitive to temperature, long term drift and input offset
errors.

MC144111 D/A converters with serial interface:


The MC144110 and MC144111 are low–cost 6–bit D/A converters with serial

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT ENGINE CONTROL MANAGEMENT DIGIFANT 2 Input Devices:

































Air Flow Sensor (Air Flow Meter)
All intake air is drawn through the airflow sensor. The airflow sensor contains a tunnel with a measuring flap and dampening flap. The measuring flap swings with intake air stream against pressure of a spiral spring and is connected to a potentiometer.
The potentiometer transmits an electrical signal determined by measuring flap position to inform ECU of engine load. At idle, the measuring flap is almost closed due to spring pressure.
The potentiometer within the airflow sensor prevents loss of engine power during engine load or sudden acceleration (along with engine speed and coolant temperature) by signaling the ECU of necessary enrichment and timing requirements.



The airflow sensor contains an intake air temperature sensor. An adjustable idle air by-pass screw influences CO levels at low engine speeds. A tamper-proof plug is installed over this screw.



Coolant Temperature Sensor (Digifant I)
The coolant temperature sensor is a temperature sensitive variable resistor sensor (less resistance as temperature increases). This sensor returns signals to the ECU to determine amount of cold start enrichment, ignition timing and idle stabilization during warmup. The sensor return signal has input to the ECU when the oxygen sensor, idle stabilization, and full throttle enrichment functions are activated.


Coolant Temperature Sensor (Digifant II)
The BLUE coolant temperature sensor is a temperature sensitive variable resistor sensor (less resistance as temperature increases). This sensor returns signals to the ECU to determine amount of cold start enrichment, enrichment during warm-up and ignition timing control.








Full Throttle Switch (Digifant II)
The full throttle switch closes approximately 10 degrees before Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The ECU uses this signal for full throttle enrichment.









Idle Switch (Digifant II)
Idle switch closes when throttle is closed. The ECU uses idle switch input for idle stabilizer valve, deceleration fuel shut-off and activation of ignition timing map for deceleration. Idle switch opens when throttle is opened approximately one degree.


Intake Air Temperature Sensor
 Intake air temperature sensor is a thermistor-type variable resistor (resistance decreases with increase of temperature). This sensor voltage signal varies to ECU in relation to engine air temperature. Sensor is located inside the airflow meter.










Hall Effect Sensor
See ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM under IGNITION SYSTEM in this article.

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT ENGINE CONTROL MANAGEMENT  DIGIFANT 2 Knock Sensor
Vibrations in engine block will cause the quartz crystal inside knock sensor to produce a small voltage. The ECU monitors this small voltage. Ignition timing is retarded 3 degrees initially when detonation begins to occur. Timing is retarded only in the cylinder which is detonating.
When detonation stops, ignition timing is advanced in .33 degree increments until a preprogrammed value is reached. If detonation continues or reoccurs in a cylinder, ignition timing can be retarded up to 15 degrees for each cylinder. The difference between any 2 cylinders is limited to 9 degrees.
Engine Knock Causes

Fuel should burn in even waves that are timed to the engine's cycles, carrying through until the next cycle causes the next wave. When fuel is improperly ignited, it causes a fireball-like explosion that can interfere with the engine's cycles and can even damage engine components -- these premature detonations are the source of the "ping" noise. Now, let's look at the most common causes of knock.

Low quality fuel

One of the causes of engine knock is sub-par gasoline -- low quality and low octane fuel can cause a whole cluster of problems, such as increased combustion chamber temperatures and higher cylinder pressures. The fuel's octane rating tells a motorist how much compression the gasoline can tolerate -- the higher the rating, the better the fuel resists combustion. That's why complicated, high-pressure engines require more expensive fuel.

These problems can lead to pre-ignition, which is when the fuel burns in the engine earlier than it should. There are two ways gasoline can ignite in the engine's combustion chamber -- from the spark plug, or from an incorrect compression ratio. It's a delicate balance, and any factor can throw the whole process awry. If the engine's compression is too low, it can cause the fuel to combust and burn before it's ignited by the spark plug. When the fuel burns this way, it burns incompletely, and the leftover fuel components and compounds cause debris that sticks to the inside of the chamber. This buildup negatively affects the environment within the cylinders, which is a common cause of engine knock.
Deposits on the cylinder walls

Yes, it's a vicious cycle -- the first cause of engine knock we discussed above can create bigger problems. Low quality fuel and pre-ignition forms the harmful deposits we mentioned, and once those deposits start, they tend to build.

These deposits take up crucial space that's needed for the engine's normal functions of mixing air and fuel. Think of a blood vessel clogged by cholesterol deposits -- the bigger the clog, the less blood can get through. This is similar. Big deposits raise compression in the cylinder, and if that higher compression isn't somehow accounted for (like using higher octane gasoline or adjusting the engine's temperature ranges), the higher compression can cause knocking.

The wrong spark plugs

Using the incorrect spark plugs is a common problem, according to experts. People often misunderstand the manufacturer's recommendations, or buy the incorrect plugs to try to save a few bucks. Since spark plugs help control the engine's internal environment and operate under precise conditions, the wrong plugs create sub-par conditions for burning fuel. They can lead to combustion chamber deposit buildup and improper running temperatures, which, as we already know, are two major catalysts for engine knock.

Other causes are closely related to the three most common culprits, and include dirty injectors, a bad knock sensor, worn rings and valve seals, and the possibility of the engine simply running too hot

Oxygen (O2) Sensor
The O2 sensor detects oxygen content in the exhaust gas and sends this information to the ECU. In operation, the ECU receives signals from the O2 sensor and varies the duration during which fuel is injected. A high voltage signal indicates
The O2 sensor is heated electrically for rapid warm-up and constant operating temperature. Power to the heating element is supplied whenever ignition switch is turned to ON position.
Power Steering (P/S) Pressure Switch
The P/S oil pressure switch signals the ECU when the power steering load is high. The ECU then sends a voltage signal to the idle stabilization valve to increase idle speed with power steering load.
Throttle Potentiometer (Digifant I)
Throttle potentiometer is used by ECU to sense throttle position. This signal is also used for activation of idle stabilization system and deceleration fuel shut-off.
Throttle Valve Switch
Throttle valve switch supplies ECU with information that throttle valve is closed. If engine is above 1250 RPM with throttle closed, fuel will be shut off to the injectors. At idle speed, this switch signals control unit to regulate amount of fuel injected.
Output Signals

  • Idle Air Stabilizer Valve - See IDLE SPEED.
  • Fuel Injectors - See FUEL CONTROL.
  • Ignition Coil Control - See IGNITION SYSTEM.








Fuel Delivery
Electric Fuel Pump
The fuel pump provides fuel under pressure to the fuel pressure regulator. Power for operation during cranking mode is provided from starter relay via the fuel pump relay. After the engine has started, control of the fuel pump is through the ignition signal. The fuel pump is sealed unit.
Fuel Pump Relay
When energized by the ignition switch and grounded by the ECU. The fuel pump relay provides battery voltage to the fuel pumps, injectors, idle stabilization control unit, oxygen sensor heating element and the power steering pressure switch.
Fuel Pressure Regulator
The fuel pressure regulator is a sealed, spring loaded diaphragm with connection for intake manifold vacuum. Fuel pressure is maintained at about 36 psi (2.5 kg/cmý) pressure.
A connection for intake manifold vacuum provides a constant pressure differential which ensures that the amount of fuel injected is solely dependent upon injector open ON time. Excess fuel is returned to fuel tank. No service of pressure regulator is required. The pressure regulator is located on or near fuel rail.
Fuel Control
Data on engine temperature, engine speed, intake air volume, throttle position, exhaust oxygen content and intake air temperature are used by ECM to determine injection pulse width.
Fuel Injectors
A fuel rail links the fuel pressure regulator with the fuel injectors. Each cylinder is provided with a solenoid-operated injector which sprays fuel toward backside of each inlet valve. Each injector is energized through the ignition coil and grounded through the ECU to complete the circuit.
Each injector is linked to a resistor (resistor may be external or integral with injector or ECU) to reduce operating voltage to 3 volts and to protect injectors from power surges. The ECU controls length of time each injector is open. The ON time of the injector governs the amount of fuel delivered. The injector delivers 1/2 the amount of fuel required for an operating cycle each time they open (twice per cycle).
Idle Speed
Idle Stabilization Control Unit
The idle stabilization control unit is located in front of the right-hand taillight assembly. If engine idle speed differs from the value stored in the idle stabilization control unit, the idle air stabilizer valve adjusts the volume of air entering the engine at idle. The idle stabilization control unit receives information from the following:
  • Coolant Temperature Sensor
  • ECU Control Relay
  • ECU
  • Oxygen Sensor
  • Power Steering Oil Pressure Switch
DIGIFANT 2 Ignition System
Electronic Ignition System
The Hall Effect sending unit in the distributor uses a shutter window wheel, mounted on the distributor shaft. The shutter blades pass in and out of the air gap of the hall effect sender, resulting in signal pulses. There is one shutter window for each engine cylinder.
Signals from distributor hall sender are sent to the ECU. The ECU sends a switching voltage signal to the ignition coil primary circuit to discharge secondary spark voltage.







DIGIFANT 2 Ignition Timing Control System
Signals from distributor hall sender are sent to the ECU, which produces a pulsating signal to the ignition coil. This computed signal from ECU to ignition coil controls ignition timing according to engine load (airflow sensor signal), engine speed (Hall Effect signal) and engine coolant temperature.



How does VW DIGIFANT 2 Ignition Timing electronic spark advance work?
 The computer reads the signal coming from the trigger wheel in the distributor - when it sees a pulse, and the time between each pulse. Using other system inputs such as throttle position, manifold absolute pressure, etc., it decides how much sooner to trigger the spark for the next cylinder coming up (shortens or lengthens the time between coil firings). It is doing this without actually knowing the crank position, because you set the "base" timing by taking the advance capability out of the loop during the timing adjustment activity.
In oversimplified terms, the ECM supplies advance electronically by delaying or advancing when the module breaks ground and causes the coil to fire. It basically makes a scillion little time calculations per second so it knows exactly how many milisenconds to add or subtract from when the module says "now!". 





Emissions System


Evaporative Emissions System EURO 1
Fuel vapors are collected in the expansion tank. Liquid gasoline collects in expansion tank and flows back to the fuel tank through vent lines. See Fig. 4. When engine is not running, fuel vapors are drawn from tops of the expansion tanks, and flow into carbon canister, where vapors are stored.
After engine is started, the control valve is opened by throttle vacuum. Fresh air is drawn into bottom of the canister. Fuel vapors from the canister are drawn into the intake manifold.
Thermostatic Air Cleaner
During cold engine operation a regulator flap located inside air cleaner assembly is opened so engine can draw warmed air from around exhaust system. Vacuum from throttle valve operates regulator flap. The regulator flap is controlled by a temperature regulator valve located in upper part of air cleaner assembly. When engine becomes warm, temperature regulator valve should close causing regulator flap to close, stopping warm airflow from around exhaust.
Self-Diagnostic System
O2 Sensor Warning Light
All vehicles are equipped with an O2 sensor warning light, located on the instrument panel. The light illuminates when a mileage counter reaches 60,000 miles (90,000 miles on Vanagon) indicating recommended O2 sensor replacement and mileage counter reset.
Check Engine Light
California vehicles are equipped with a CHECK engine light and rocker switch on the instrument panel. The light illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position (for bulb check) and when engine management systems malfunction during normal engine operation.

VW PASSAT - DIGIFANT  2 Idle speed and mixture (COcontent) - adjustment

1 Run the engine until the oil temperature is
at least 80°C. This should correspond to
normal operating temperature.
2 Switch off all electrical components,
including the air conditioning, where fitted.
Note that the radiator fan must be stationary
during adjustment.
3 For accurate adjustment, the throttle valve
switch and idling stabilisation control valve
must be functioning correctly and the ignition
timing must be correct.
4 With the engine stopped, connect a
tachometer to the engine. Plug one of the
exhaust tailpipes and position the probe of an
exhaust gas analyser in the remaining pipe.
5 Disconnect the crankcase ventilation hose
from the pressure regulating valve on the
valve cover and plug the hose.
6 Run the engine at idle speed. After
approximately one minute, disconnect the
wire from the temperature sender (see
illustration) and quickly increase the engine
speed to 3000 rpm three times.
7 With the engine idling, check the idle speed
and CO content. If necessary, adjust the
screws (see illustration). The CO adjustment
screw is fitted with a tamperproof plug at the
factory. This plug should be prised out before
making an adjustment.
8 Reconnect the temperature sender wire
and again quickly increase the engine speed
to 3000 rpm three times. With the engine
idling, the idle speed and CO content should
be as specified. If necessary, make any small
corrections required.
9 Fit a new tamperproof plug.
10 Reconnect the crankcase ventilation
hose. Note that if this increases the CO
content, do not alter the adjustment. The
cause is fuel dilution of the engine oil due to
frequent stop/start use. A long fast drive
should reduce the CO content to the correct
level. Alternatively, an oil change will achieve
the same objective.





VW PASSAT - DIGIFANT 2  Idle speed stabilisation system - testing

1 Check that the stabilisation control valve
buzzes when the ignition is switched on. If
not, use an ohmmeter to check the continuity
valve after pulling off the connector (see
illustration).
2 Run the engine until the oil temperature is
at least 80°C. This should correspond to
normal operating temperature.
3 Connect a multi-meter to the stabilisation
control valve in series with the existing wiring.
4 All electrical components must be switched
off during the test and power steering (where
fitted) centralised.
5 Run the engine at idle speed. After
approximately one minute, quickly increase
the engine speed to 3000 rpm three times. At
idling speed, the control current should be
approximately 420 ± 30 mA and fluctuating.
With the temperature sender plug disconnected, the current should be
approximately 420 ± 30 mA but constant.


VW PASSAT - DIGIFANT 2 Throttle valve switches -testing and adjustment

1 There are two throttle valve switches.
Switch 1 monitors the throttle valve closed
position and switch 2 monitors the throttle
valve fully open position (see illustration).
2 Disconnect the supply plug from switch 2
and check that approximately 5 volts is
available across the two terminals with the
ignition switched on. If not, check the wiring
from the control unit.
3 Connect an ohmmeter across the terminals
of switch 2, then slowly open the throttle valve
until the switch points close. The gap at the
throttle lever stop must be 0.20 to 0.60 mm
when the points close. If necessary, adjust the
position of switch 1.
4 A piece of card marked with 10°is required
to check switch 2. Attach the card to the first
stage throttle valve shaft.

5 Fully open the throttle and align a datum
with 0° on the card. Close the throttle by
approximately 20°, then slowly open it until
switch 2 points close. This should occur at
10° ± 2° before full throttle. If necessary,
adjust the position of switch 2. Note that the
throttle valve lever roller must contact the
sloping part of switch 2.


VW PASSAT - DIGIFANT 2  Throttle stop - adjustment:

1 Throttle stop adjustment is initially set at
the factory and should not be tampered with.
However, if it is accidentally disturbed,
proceed as follows.
2 Back off the adjustment screw until a gap
exists between the carrier lever and stop lever
(see illustration).
3 Turn the adjustment screw until the two
levers just make contact, then continue to turn
it a further half-turn. Tighten the locknut.
4 After making an adjustment, readjust the
throttle valve switches, and the idle speed and
mixture.

VW PASSAT - DIGIFANT 2 Fuel injectors - testing:

1 carry out
the following electrical tests (see illustration).
2 Disconnect the wiring plug from the conduit
next to the injectors and connect an
ohmmeter across the terminals on the
conduit. The resistance of all four injectors
should be 3.7 to 5.0 ohms. If any number of
injectors are open-circuited, then the
resistance will be as follows:
One injector open-circuited - 5.0 to 6.7 ohms
Two injectors open-circuited - 7.5 to 10.0 ohms
Three injectors open-circuited - 15.0 to 20.0 ohms
3 If necessary, prise off the conduit and
check that each individual injector has a
resistance of 15.0 to 20.0 ohms.
4 Checking the injector spray patterns cannot
be performed as described in Part B of this
Chapter, due to the position of the fuel
distributor. However, the injectors may be
removed together with the fuel distributor and
wiring conduit, and the engine turned on the
starter for a few seconds. Use a suitable
container to catch the fuel.


VW PASSAT - DIGIFANT 2 Overrun cut-off and full throttle enrichment - testing:

1 Run the engine until the oil temperature is
at least 80°C (normal operating temperature)
then let the engine idle.
2 Manually close the full throttle valve switch
2 and hold it closed.
3 Open the throttle until the engine speed is
approximately 2000 rpm. Check that the
engine speed surges, indicating that the
overrun cut-off is functioning.
4 If the engine does not surge, disconnect the
wiring from the temperature sender and
connect a bridging wire between the two
contacts on the plug.
5 Repeat the procedure in paragraphs 2 and
3. If the engine now surges, the temperature
sender is proved faulty. However, if it still
refuses to surge, check the associated wiring
and throttle valve switch 2.
6 If no fault is found, renew the control unit.


VW PASSAT - DIGIFANT 2 Fuel pumps - testing:
Pre mid 1989
1 The main fuel pump is located in the
accumulator housing beneath the rear of the
vehicle. An additional lift pump is located in
the fuel tank, together with the fuel gauge
sender (see illustration).
2 With the engine stopped, have an assistant
switch on the ignition. It should be possible to
hear both pumps running for a short period. If
not, check fuse 5 for continuity and also
check all wiring connections.
3 With the ignition on, disconnect each wire
connector from the pumps and check that
there is a 12 volt supply by using a voltmeter.
4 Should there be no voltage at the pumps
with the ignition switched on, the fuel pump
relay (No 2 on fusebox) may be faulty. This is
best checked by substituting a new relay.
From mid 1989
5 From mid 1989, certain models fitted with
the Digifant system are fitted with a single fuel
pump in the fuel tank rather than the previous
arrangement described above. The pump can
be tested in the same manner as that
described for the previously fitted “in-tank”
dual pump.
6 The fuel pump can be removed in a similar
manner to that described for the fuel gauge
sender unit

VW PASSAT - DIGIFANT 2 Airflow meter - testing:

1 Disconnect the wiring plug from the airflow
meter (see illustration).
2 Connect an ohmmeter between terminals 1
and 4 and check that the resistance of the
inlet air temperature sender is as shown (see
illustration) according to the ambient air
temperature.
3 Connect the ohmmeter between terminals 3
and 4 and check that the resistance of the
potentiometer is between 0.5 and 1.0 K ohms.
4 Connect the ohmmeter between terminals 2
and 3 and check that the resistance fluctuates
as the airflow meter plate is moved.
