  1. BRIDGWATER COLLEGE AUTOMOTIVE SCOPE TESTING

  2. OSCILLOSCOPE TESTER An oscilloscope is like a voltmeter. It is connected across, or in parallel, with the circuit being tested, and its most important use is to give information about voltage changes in a circuit againts time. V O L T A G E TIME

  3. OSCILLOSCOPE TESTER The ignition oscilloscope can have markings on it’s screen which are a number of horizontal lines, starting from 0KV and extending in increments of 5KV on the left and 10KV on the right side (secondary). V O L T A G E TIME

  4. OSCILLOSCOPE TESTER The screen can also be read from 0V extending in increments of 5V on the left hand side and in increments of 10V on the right hand side (primary). The bottom of the screen is marked off in degrees and percentage. Computer scopes may use menus for voltage and time. V O L T A G E TIME

  5. SECONARY OSCILLOSCOPEPATTERN

  6. SCOPE PATTERNS SECONDARY PATTERN PURPOSE TO IDENTIFY: 1. OPEN CIRCUITS IN THE SECONDARY IGNITION CIRCUIT. 2. COMPRESSION PROBLEMS.

  7. 3. FUEL FAULTS 4. SPARK PLUG DEFECTS 5. CONDENSER PROBLEMS 6. POINTS DEFECTS 7. ELECTRONIC IGNITION PROBLEMS

  8. SECONDARY PATTERN 1.You are required to build up in your work book a complete diagram of a secondary ignition scope pattern. 2.Answer a number of multi-choice questions. 3.List the ignition faults against particular pictures showing incorrect secondary patterns.

  9. SECONDARYPATTERN a FIRING LINE = a

  10. SECONDARY PATTERN FIRING LINE Voltage required to establish the spark. Normally 5 to 15 KV. Maximum variation between cylinders 3KV

  11. SECONDARY PATTERN The required firing voltage is affected by secondary circuit gaps, cylinder compression and temperature, fuel mixture and ignition timing.

  12. SECONDARY PATTERN b SPARKLINE = FIRING LINE b

  13. SECONDARY PATTERN SPARK LINE Voltage required to maintain the spark. Max. height 3KV Max. slope 1.5KV

  14. SECONDARY PATTERN The required spark voltage and characteristics of the spark line are affected by the secondary circuit resistance, spark plug and cylinder conditions.

  15. SECONDARY PATTERN COIL OSCILLATIONS = c FIRINGLINE SPARKLINE c

  16. SECONDARY PATTERN INTERMEDIATE OSCILLATIONS Dissipation of remaining coil energy by condenser action. Normally at least 4 gradually diminishing oscillations at 2000RPM.

  17. SECONDARY PATTERN The number of coil oscillations is affected by engine speed and defects in the coil, condenser, or primary circuit.

  18. SECONDARY PATTERN START OF DWELL COIL BUILDING UP IT’S MAGNETIC FIELD = d FIRING LINE SPARKLINE d

  19. SECONDARY PATTERN START OF DWELL The points closed signal is affected by points condition, alignment, spring tension and defects in the coil or primary circuit.

  20. SECONDARY PATTERN Points open signal is affected by points condition and gap, or arcing due to poor condenser action, primary circuit defects or high primary current. ELECTRONIC IGNITION Start of dwell the amplifier turns on, the end of dwell the amplifier turns off. All modern amplifiers are fitted with

  21. vary dwell. Vary dwell will alter the dwell angle with changes of speed, if the engine speed is low then the dwell angle is small, as the engine speed increases the dwell angle will also increase providing a constant energy ingnition system.

  22. PRIMARY OSCILLOCOPEPATTERN

  23. PRIMARY PATTERN Since any voltage variation in the primary ignition circuit will be reflected in secondary circuit testing, it is not always necessary to use primary circuit testing to determine the general condition of the ignition system. The trace patterns of the primary circuit are very simular to that of the secondary. The voltage values represented in the primary patterns are much lower than the secondary patterns(primary is measured in VOLTS).

  24. PRIMARY PATTERN The diagram below shows a single cylinder primary pattern 250V Firing section Dwell section Intermediate section

  25. MULTI-CHOICEQUESTIONSTYPES OF OSCILLOSCOPEPATTERNS

  28. SECONDARY PATTERN 4. Name the pattern below a) Raster b) Single cylinder c) Display d) Superinposed

  31. SECONDARY PATTERN 2. Low firing line and long spark line 3KV

  32. SECONDARY PATTERN 3. Normal firing line and short and steep sparkline 8KV 5KV

  33. SECONDARY PATTERN 4. High firing line short spark line 16 KV

  34. SECONDARY PATTERN 5. Hashing when points close and open 8KV

  35. SECONDARY PATTERN 6. Pattern is upside down

  36. SECONDARY PATTERN 7. No 3 cylinder has a low firing line and long sparkline 2 4 3 1

  37. SECONDARY PATTERN 8. No 4 cylinder dwell section is out of line with the other cylinders 2 4 3 1

  38. SECONDARY PATTERN 9. Lack of coil oscillations
