Automotive systems By: Salvador MadrigalElectrical SystemIgnition systemsStarting systemsCharging systems Lighting systems Ignition SystemSystem for igniting the fuel mixtureBreaker point(1910-early1970)Electronic(1970-1990)Distributorless(1980-now)

Starting SystemPower source used to provide the initial rotation to start large gas turbine engine

charging systemReplace electrical energy drawn from the battery during system starting operation

lighting systemConsists of the components that operate a vehicles interior and exterior lights ( fuses, wires, switches, relays, etc.)

Engine SystemsExhaust SystemsCooling SystemsLubrication SystemDiesel injection SystemsFuel injection systemsEmission Control SystemsCarburetor Fuel SystemsEngine types 1. in-line (I4, L4)

2. V-type(v6, v8, v10)

3.Oppossed (vws, Porsche)

Exhaust SystemUsed to guide exhaust gases away from a controlled combustion inside an engine

Cooling SystemMaintains a constant engine operating temperature. There are two major types of cooling systems.Air cooling systemLiquid cooling system

Lubrication SystemReduces friction and wear between internal engine parts by circulating filtered engine oil to high-friction points in the engine

Diesel Injection SystemHigh pressure mechanical pump spray fuel directly into combustion chamber

Fuel injection systemPrimarily a mechanical system that forces diesel fuel(not gasoline) directly into the combustion chamber(1990-now)TBI (Throttle Body inj.) mid 1990-2000MPI (Multi-port inj.)mid 1990-now

Carbureted fuel SystemUses engine vacuum (suction) to draw fuel to the engine

Emission control systemUsed to reduce the amount of toxic(poisonous) substances produced by an engine

Chassis systemBrake systemDrivetrain systemSteering systemFront suspensionRear suspensionChassisAre a group of systems typically found underneath the vehicle

Brake SystemProduces friction to slow or stop the vehicle

Drive Train SystemTransfers turning force from the engine crankshaft to the drive wheels

Steering SystemAllows the driver to control vehicle direction by turning the wheel right or left

Front SuspensionVehicles do not have a driveshaft or a rear drive axle assembly. The complete drive train is in the front of the vehicle

Rear SuspensionThe drive shafts sends power to the rear axle assembly. The rear axle assembly contains the differential and two axles that turn the rear drive wheels. Drive train and suspension interact.

Miscellaneous SystemsComputer SystemAccessory SystemSafety SystemComputer SystemUses electronic and electrical devices to monitor and control various systems in the vehicle, including the fuel, ignition, drive train, safety, and security system

Accessory SystemIncludes the air conditioner, sound system, power seats, power windows, and rear window de-fogger

Safety SystemIncludes seat-belts, air-bags, and security systems various safety systems are used on modern vehicles to protect both the driver and the passenger.
