NE SIGNA
L
The NE signal is used by the Engine ECU to
detect the engine speed
. NE signals are
generated in the pickup coil by the timing rotor
in the same way as with the G signal
. The only
difference is that the timing rotor for the NE
signal has 24 teeth
. It activates the NE pickup
coil 24 times per each revolution of the
distributor shaft, generating the waveforms
shown in the chart
. From these signals, the
Engine ECU detects the engine speed as well as
each 30° change in the engine crankshaft angle
.
