Exhaust gas temperature sender
G235 and G236
To facilitate exhaust gas temperature control,
the exhaust gas temperature must be recorded
to a high degree of accuracy.
An accuracy of ± 5 °C is achieved in the
measurement range from 950 °C to 1025 °C.
The exhaust gas temperature sender is located
inside the exhaust manifold upstream of the
exhaust gas turbocharger.
It comprises a measuring sensor and
evaluation electronics.
The measuring sensor and the control unit are
permanently connected by means of a
shielded, heat-resistant wire.
The evaluation electronics convert the signal
which the measuring sensor generates into a
pulse-width-modulated signal (PWM signal).
This is a square-wave signal with a fixed
frequency and a variable pulse duty factor.
The pulse duty factor is expressed as a
percentage . The measurement range extends
from
≥
10% to
≤
90%.
A specific pulse duty factor is assigned to each
temperature (refer to diagram).
Substitute function and self-diagnosis:
A pulse duty factor of <1% or >99% is
recognised as a fault.
A fault is detected as of a certain enrichment
quantity.
If a sender fails, the charge pressure is reduced
to a safe level and an emergency enrichment
characteristic (engine speed-dependent) is
used.
