The Engine Management Systems Panel Trainer (751-01) from LJ Create is a simulation of a typical automotive engine management system in the form of a compact panel learning system. This engine trainer gives students access to test points for engine components and the Electronic Control Unit (ECU), helping them understand the layout, configuration, and operation of an engine management system.
Students progress from engine management fundamentals into transducers, actuators, exhaust systems, and emissions control technologies. Built-in fault-insertion capabilities simulate typical real-world system malfunctions, allowing students to develop systematic diagnostic and fault-finding skills using electrical measurements and circuit investigation.
Features
- Complete engine management simulation demonstrates overall system layout and configuration.
- ECU system access introduces electronic engine control and its relationship with vehicle components.
- Component test points support practical circuit investigation and electrical measurements.
- Transducer circuits provide experience with engine management input components.
- Actuator circuits demonstrate how the system controls vehicle outputs.
- Emissions control systems introduce EGR, EVAP, air injection, and related technologies.
- Fault insertion creates repeatable engine management diagnostic exercises.
