Improve vehicle durability and reliability with Delphi Planar Sensors

Small part, big benefits. Simple design, revolutionary technology. That’s what you will be offering to your customers with Delphi planar sensors, the latest product line delivering OE performance that ensures improved reliability and durability for any vehicle. Delphi planar sensors equip the vehicle with a proven design that’s built to last up to 15-years/150,000 miles.

Worn-out or contaminated sensors can cause engines to run too rich, burning additional fuel and sending excess harmful emissions into the atmosphere. Replacing worn-out sensors with new Delphi planar sensors delivers increased efficiency with the industry"s fastest light-off time (LOT), putting the engine under fuel control operation quicker. By replacing the sensors, this then can help reduce harmful cold-start emissions by 40 to 50 percent, as well as improve fuel economy.

Delphi confidently stands behind its claims, having tested the reliability of its sensors by putting them through thousands of hours of more than 30 OE-demanded tests – including two dozen durability tests – to ensure they will last even under the toughest conditions. They passed. It"s this kind of testing that helps ensure that Delphi sensors can endure for the long haul.

The ability to deliver such quality, reliability and durability stems in part from Delphi"s decades of experience as an OE supplier of gas engine management systems. Since 1978, Delphi has manufactured more than 200 million oxygen sensors. Today, one out of every eight vehicles built globally carries a Delphi oxygen sensor. And unlike many other suppliers, all of Delphi"s oxygen sensors meet the high OE manufacturing quality standards.

Beyond their proven high-quality performance, Delphi"s planar oxygen sensors feature a patented protective sensor coating that leads the industry in contamination resistance to silicone, phosphorous and other fuel/oil additives such as E85.

Also, a unique multi-layer construction, made of zirconia and alumina, makes Delphi’s sensor elements ready and able to withstand thermal shocks and engine vibrations. In addition, Delphi"s proprietary “dry to touch” anti-seize compound aids in faster, no mess installations.

More than 70 percent of the vehicles on the road today can be upgraded to planar sensor technology. And, considering the fact that more than 3 percent of all vehicles require a replacement oxygen sensor annually, perhaps it"s time you provide your customer with one of the most durable sensors in the aftermarket. It’s a great line – with great features – so the opportunity is yours for the taking.

Tech Tips

In addition to training and technical support services, Delphi TechSource also offers TechTips and tools to keep today's technician current and connected.

The "Ins" and "Outs" of Control Modules
The goal of any engine management system (EMS) is to control combustion so emissions, fuel economy and performance are regulated at optimal levels. This is achieved by monitoring operating conditions on a moment-by-moment basis, typically via the powertrain control module (PCM). The EMS measures the amount of air entering the engine, applies the right quantity of gasoline and then calculates when to ignite the mixture in the cylinders to attain a vehicle’s specific emission, fuel economy and performance objectives.

The EMS continually monitors input data to calculate operating conditions and control outputs to “close the gap” between what is currently occurring and what’s desired. The PCM employs an “if this ... then that” strategy to achieve this. Input data from a variety of monitored aspects of the powertrain provide the “if this” part of the calculation and execution strategy. Common input data includes, but is not limited to:

  • Throttle position – determined by the signals from the throttle position sensor, which relays driver demand on the powertrain. It"s also used to validate airflow and engine mechanical timing.
  • Airflow – determined by signals from the mass airflow sensor to calculate the quantity of gasoline needed to support combustion.
  • Engine speed/piston position – determined by signals from the crankshaft position sensor. The speed or velocity of the crankshaft tells the EMS whether the crankshaft is accelerating from adequate combustion or decelerating due to misfires. Crankshaft signals are required by the EMS to keep the fuel pump relay energized.
  • Camshaft position – determined by signals from the camshaft position sensor, which are used to synchronize fuel injector timing to crankshaft position and control spark timing.
  • Exhaust oxygen content – determined by signals from oxygen sensors. Oxygen content validates that proper combustion has occurred and is used to drive short-term fuel trim to control the catalyst’s operating environment and meet performance objectives. OBD II compliant vehicles must operate in “self-regulating” closed loop fuel control within 4 minutes and 20 seconds of an engine start. Heated oxygen sensors reduce this time and can provide closed loop control within 30 seconds of a start-up, long before the powertrain is up to operating temperature.
  • Intake air temperature – determined by signals from the intake air temperature sensor. Intake air temperature is an essential part of the spark timing calculations to maintain proper combustion temperatures for catalyst efficiency.
  • Engine coolant – determined by signals from the engine coolant temperature sensor. During start-up and open loop and closed loop warm-up phases of EMS operation, fixed pulse width schedules are established based on coolant temperature.
  • Vehicle speed – determined by signals from the vehicle speed sensor. Vehicle speed is used in the control of transmission shifts and to validate vehicle deceleration in conjunction with throttle angle.

The “then that” part of the computing sequence is provided by such output components as fuel injectors, ignition coils, emission control solenoids, transmission shift solenoids, plus fuel pump and air conditioning compressor relays. These parts are typically provided either battery or ignition switched power and are turned “on” and “off” by having the PCM controlling the ground path. They are switched on and off based on calculations that use data from input components. The EMS then uses input data to validate that the expected output control actually occurred.

Changing a vehicle"s operating strategy can be accomplished by reprogramming a PCM. In some instances, a replacement PCM requires vehicle specific programs to be installed before the PCM will function. Reprogramming, or a “reflash,” updates the module"s vehicle-specific calibrations. It does not modify the base operating instructions that allow the PCM to function as a computer. Physical malfunctions in a PCM including memory, circuit boards and internal wiring cannot be repaired by reprogramming a module. In these instances, a replacement PCM would be required.

Fuel Pumps

Delphi fuel pumps are quieter, more durable, and have little flow or pressure variation in hot fuel situations in competitive studies. Guide rod springs and external rubber feet provide enhanced stability and reduced noise from vibration.

In flow testing at 20 & 30 grams per second, Delphi pumps maintained highest flow in hot fuel situations. Testing on major competitive parts showed fuel flow loss which will cause problems when supplying a high output engine during high fuel demands.

Fuel Hanger

The integrated tank pressure control valve limits the amount of vapor sent to the cansiter which provides improved emissions.

163 GM SKU"s available only from Delphi and its original equipement customers. All connection pipes receive a coating to resist corrosion from water, oxygen and fuel additives.

Fuel Injectors

In competitive studies, Delphi injectors have the least amount of fuel wasted during vehicle idle. Multec 2 injectors inject fuel with smaller droplet size, which improves engine output and fuel economy.

Fuel Pressure Regulators

Precisely manufactured internal valves, diaphragms and springs provide excellent performance under all engine operating conditions.

Delphi fuel pressor regulators perform important functions in maintaining correct pressure from the tank to the injector for varied driving conditions.

Heating and Cooling

For nearly a century, Delphi has been producing original equipment heating and cooling products. From the first Harrison radiator in 1910 to such industry “firsts” as the first under hood air-conditioning system in 1954 and the first under-the-floor climate control system in 2002, we’ve built a reputation with automakers the world over for HVAC innovation and performance.
