Switch VAZ 2109 connection diagram

Ignition systems for gasoline engines of domestic passenger cars VAZ-2108, VAZ-2109, ZAZ-1102 contain an electronic switch. It is designed to generate current pulses in the circuit of the primary winding of the ignition coil.

In domestically produced electronic switches (series 3620.3734; 36.3734; 78.3734), the functions of the output current switch are performed by a powerful transistor, and the functions of controlling the parameters of current pulses (normalizing the duty cycle of triggering pulses, software regulation of the time of energy accumulation in the ignition coil, limiting the current level in its primary winding and amplitude of primary voltage pulses) is performed by a low-current electronic circuit, often in an integrated design.

The first domestic electronic switch with controlled parameters of ignition pulses (series 36.3734) was developed for the VAZ-2108 car. The switch used the K1401UD1 microcircuit, a powerful key transistor KT848A and other domestically produced elements.

The switch was a prototype for the development of subsequent series, which have several design and circuit design options. However, what domestic switches still have in common is a combined integrated-discrete assembly technology, which makes them repairable.

Modern domestic switches use specialized output key transistors of the types KT890A, KT898A1, BU931 (foreign) in several designs: TO-220, TO-3, unpackaged. Some switches, for example 78.3734 (Fig. 4), use a four-channel operational amplifier of the K1401UD2B type as a control chip.

The switches also widely use the L497B control chip from SGS-TOMSON (domestic analogue of the P1055HP1). The block diagram and the recommended option for its inclusion are shown in Fig. 1, and the assignment of the pins is in table. 1.

Before you begin troubleshooting and repairing the electronic switch, you should: • check the integrity of the vehicle wiring, the reliability of the contact connections of the ignition system, the serviceability of the ignition system elements (spark plugs, ignition coil, Hall sensor, high voltage wires); • check the serviceability of the car generator, as well as its integrated voltage regulator; • check the supply of voltage from the on-board network (with the ignition switch on) to contact “P” of the Hall sensor connector.

The signs that indicate malfunctions of electronic switches, the most likely causes of these malfunctions and methods for eliminating them are summarized in table. 2.

Schematic diagrams of the ignition switches are shown in Fig. 2 (switch 3620.3734 - I), fig. 3 (switch 3620.3734 - II) and fig. 4 (switch 78.3734).

In conclusion, the following should be noted:

1. A close analogue of the foreign transistor BU931 (see diagrams in Fig. 2 and 3) is the domestic KT898A1. These transistors have a wide range of parameters, which leads to the need to select the ratings of radio elements in its base and emitter circuits for each individual transistor.

2. Resistors R7 (see Fig. 2) and R6 (see Fig. 3) are used to set the required current value through the powerful key transistors of the described switches.

Increasing the resistor value leads to a decrease in current and vice versa. Thus, by changing the values of these resistors, you can select the optimal current and thermal operating conditions of the output key transistors.

3. When replacing a powerful switching transistor, you should pay attention to the quality of fastening the transistor to the radiator (case) of the switch. They also check the presence of heat-conducting paste between the transistor and the radiator (switch housing).

4. An analogue of the foreign zener diode 1N3029 (see Fig. 3) is the domestic KS524.

5. An analogue of the foreign microcircuit L497B (see Fig. 1, 2, 3) is the domestic KR1055ХП1.

6. After replacing faulty radio elements in the switch, each new element on the board and its soldering area should be coated with nitro varnish. When assembling the switch housing, its cover around the perimeter of the seal must be coated with a waterproof sealant (for example, Germesil).

The switch is. Switch diagram. How to check the ignition switch

The switch is an electronic component to ensure the operation of a contactless ignition system. It is transitional between contact and microprocessor. The latter, the most advanced, allows you to control the torque using data read from sensors - oxygen, speed, engine speed and others. But there are still many cars on the roads that have both contact breakers and contactless ones. Therefore, for maintenance and diagnostics, you need to know the purpose of all elements, as well as troubleshooting methods and their main symptoms. Before testing the switch, review all parts carefully.

Techno lovers site

Since an idea appeared on the Internet about the possibility of using the 3620.3734* switch instead of the standard Tavria 1102.3734/1103.3734, I decided to post an article on repairing them, along with the diagrams of these switches. The original article is here, but for some reason the developer of this web page posted the pictures separately from the article. It’s very inconvenient, I’ll translate it in human terms:

When the electronic ignition switch in your car fails, as a rule, you either buy a new one, since there is no way to check its functionality due to the lack of specialized service centers, or take it to local craftsmen who try it using the “scientific poke” method repair. Most operating instructions do not contain a description of the troubleshooting technique, so we provide a complete troubleshooting technique and circuit diagrams of the most common electronic ignition switches.

The input information signal for the switch is the signal from the Hall sensor located on the ignition distributor shaft. Using this signal, the switch receives information about the number of engine revolutions and the position of its crankshaft. The switch is designed to work with a serial ignition coil 27.3705. The switch was a prototype for the development of subsequent series, which have several design and circuit design options. However, what domestic switches still have in common is a combined integrated-discrete assembly technology, which makes them repairable.

Before you begin troubleshooting and repairing the electronic switch, you should:

check the integrity of the vehicle wiring, the reliability of the contact connections of the ignition system, the serviceability of the ignition system elements (spark plugs, ignition coil, Hall sensor, high voltage wires);
check the serviceability of the car generator, as well as its integrated voltage regulator;
check the supply of voltage from the on-board network (with the ignition switch on) to contact “P” of the Hall sensor connector.

The signs that indicate malfunctions of electronic switches, the most likely causes of these malfunctions and methods for eliminating them are summarized in table. 2.

Contactless ignition system

In total, there are three huge groups of systems - contact, contactless, microprocessor. The first is divided into two subgroups - contact and using a transistor operating in switch mode. Transistors are also used in the design of a contactless ignition system. This scheme began to be actively used in the early 80s of the last century. And it has a number of advantages, which will be discussed below. The switch circuit is simple; it can be implemented both on transistors and on a controller.

But the contactless ignition system also has many disadvantages when compared with a microprocessor one. The latter allows you to control almost all engine parameters. BSZ does not allow this; it also cannot be used normally on injection engines. The reason for the obsolescence of the contactless system lies not only in the development of electronics and the automotive industry, but also in the adoption of stringent measures to ensure the environmental friendliness of internal combustion engines. Unfortunately, only microprocessor control can reduce the amount of harmful substances in the exhaust.

Main elements of the system

Of course, the first thing to mention is the spark plugs. They are installed in the cylinder head, the electrodes come out from the inside. These are the elements that allow the air-fuel mixture to ignite. But with the help of spark plugs alone, the engine will not be able to run. It is necessary to monitor the position of the crankshaft in order to know in what position the pistons are in the cylinders.

For this purpose, an inductive sensor operating on the Hall effect is used. It is part of the design of another element - the ignition distributor. The sensor produces a pulse that is sent to the switch. This device allows you to amplify a weak signal to a voltage of 12 volts, and then apply it to a coil. A coil is nothing more than a simple transformer (step-up). Its secondary winding has a greater number of turns than the primary. Due to this, the voltage increases and the current decreases. The voltage in the BSZ is supplied to the spark plugs at a value of 30-35 kV (depending on the car model).

How is BSZ better than contact?

Having carefully read the previous section, you can see that the system uses an inductive non-contact Hall sensor. The advantage is obvious - there is no friction and commutation. For comparison, look at the contact system. In it, the breaker switches the voltage, the value of which is 12 Volts. Whatever one may say, the metal contacts are constantly in contact with each other, gradually wear out, and become covered with soot.

For these reasons, it is necessary to constantly monitor the breaker, adjust the gap, and carry out timely replacement. BSZ is devoid of these shortcomings, therefore, without third-party intervention, the system operates much longer. The Hall sensor fails very rarely, as does the switch. This increases the reliability of the system, but precautions must also be taken, in particular, the connection of the switch to the body must be as tight as possible to ensure effective heat exchange. In addition, BSZ allows you to improve engine performance, increase, albeit slightly, its power, along with increasing reliability.

BZS adjustment

Adjusting the ignition of the VAZ 2107 begins with the simplest operation of removing the distributor cover, then turning the crankshaft until the maximum distance between it and the distributor is reached.

Installation process of BZS VAZ 2107

After this, they begin to unscrew the screws that fix the contact group on the bearing plate and between the contacts, insert a probe to determine and select the optimal position for the group

Contact angle correction in closed state

Ideally, everything is determined by the force applied to move the probe, which should be minimal; having found an area that meets this requirement, the position of the group is fixed by tightening the screws. The size of the gap also matters; to determine it, the thickness of the feeler gauge should be 0.44 millimeters. It is the adjustment of the gap that provides the required value of the angle of closed contacts; its optimal value is 55±3°.

How does a switch work?

Essentially, a switch is a simple signal amplifier. It can even be compared to a Darlington assembly, which is used in microcontroller technology to convert a weak signal from an output port to the required level. The basis of this assembly is field-effect transistors operating in switch mode. An operating voltage is applied to them, a signal is sent to the control terminal, which is amplified and removed from the collector.

The ignition switch has an almost similar operating scheme. Only the signal from the Hall sensor is used. It has three outputs - control, common, plus power. When a metal plate appears in the sensor area, a current is generated, which is supplied to the input of the switch. Next, the signal is amplified and supplied to the primary winding of the coil. The entire system is powered only after the ignition is turned on (after turning the key).

Basic Switch Elements

The switch circuit is quite simple, but making this unit yourself is pointless, since buying a ready-made version will be much easier. Installation must be carried out as competently as possible, otherwise the device will not operate correctly. In addition, when using transistors, you need to carefully select them according to their parameters, and for this you need to have high-quality measuring equipment. Unfortunately, for two identical semiconductors, the spread of characteristics can be very large. And this affects the operation of the device.

The VAZ switch, designated 76.3734, consists of one main element - the L497 controller. It is designed specifically for use in contactless ignition systems. The domestic analogue of this controller is KR1055HP2. Their parameters are almost identical, which allows you to use any of the controllers. In addition, this chip allows you to connect a tachometer located on the dashboard of the car. But you can also use a simpler circuit, which is an amplifier unit of two stages. True, the reliability of such a device is much lower.

Connecting the switch

Cases vary, and it is possible that you will have to change the wiring. Therefore, you will need to take into account the purpose of all pins on the switch plug. This will allow the connection to be made correctly, and there will be no risk of damaging it. The first pin of the switch is the output. In other words, the amplified signal is removed from it. It must be connected to the terminal of the “K” coil. The second contact is connected to ground - the negative of the battery.

All three wires from the Hall sensor go to the VAZ switch. Moreover, the signal wire is connected to the sixth terminal of the switch. The fifth is the power output (the voltage on it is stable 12 Volts). The third output of the switch is ground (minus power). The third is connected inside the block to the second. But between the fourth, which is supplied with power from the battery, and the fifth there is a constant resistance and a voltage stabilizer.

What signs indicate a faulty switch?

The most obvious sign of a faulty switch is the loss of the so-called spark, as well as interruptions in the operation of the engine, for example, it may begin to have difficulty starting and quickly stall even after warming up.

It is not recommended to immediately change the switch due to loss of spark, since such a malfunction is sometimes caused by other automotive components that fail:

Hall Sensor;
timing belt rupture;
poor contact in the distributor;
ignition coil failure. If a malfunction is detected in this particular element, then, according to experts, the coil needs to be replaced rather than wasting time on repairing it.

If diagnostics of the components described above confirm their serviceability, you will have to begin checking a more complex device called a switch.

How to check

There is nothing complicated in this procedure. The easiest way is to use a known-good node, since you can check the switch this way in literally a matter of minutes. But if there is none, and you need to determine exactly whether the fault is in the coil or in the switch, it is wiser to use other methods. You will need a simple incandescent lamp. If you don’t know where to get it, then unscrew it from the interior lamp or from the side lights.

Connect one terminal of the lamp to the negative of the battery. Connect the second one to pin “1” of the switch. This is the same pin from which the amplified signal is removed. If the lamp lights up, then the device is working properly. A more advanced testing method is carried out using an oscilloscope. On the screen you can see the magnitude and shape of the signal, and also compare it with the reference one.

Checking and replacing the device

When checking and repairing a car’s contactless ignition system, it is imperative to check the functionality of the switch. To test this device, you need to have a standard set of tools on hand. In addition, you will need a control light with a voltage of 12 V.

A full check of the element is carried out on a specialized stand, which allows not only to determine the presence of an impulse, but also its duration. Using a test lamp makes it possible to determine the presence of only a pulse when testing the device at home. To check the operation of the switch, you need to do the following operations.

It is necessary to de-energize the vehicle's on-board network. This is done by disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery from the electrical circuit.
Using an open-end wrench No. 8, terminal “K” is disconnected on the ignition coil, which has a red-brown wire connected to terminal “1” of the contact block of the switching device.
The disconnected wire is connected to its terminal on the ignition coil through a light bulb, after which the negative terminal of the battery is connected to the on-board network. When the starter is turned on, the lamp should flash. The absence of blinking indicates that the switch is faulty.

When operating a car, in order to avoid failure of the switch, it is necessary to periodically clean the surface of the cooling radiator.

Ignition settings

When setting up the ignition, you will need to do the most important thing - install the shafts according to the marks so that the gas distribution functions synchronously with the operation of the piston group. This is the first thing you should do before you start adjusting the ignition. It is worth noting that there should not be any particular difficulties during setup, especially on VAZ 2108-21099 cars. The thing is that the ignition distributor on the engines of these machines can only be installed in one position. Moreover, the ignition switch does not undergo any settings during this procedure, since it does not have any.

The distributor body rotates around its axis to make more precise adjustments. And this turns out to be enough. To accurately set the torque, you can use a simple circuit that uses a simple LED as an indicator. The Hall sensor is disconnected from the system, and positive power is supplied to its negative terminal. An LED is switched on between “+” and the signal LED, and a 2 kOhm resistance is connected in series with it to reduce the voltage. But the plus of the Hall sensor is connected to ground. Now all that remains is to slowly rotate the distributor housing. The moment when the diode lights up will be the desired one.

The dispatcher transmits the data from these measurements on board the landing aircraft.

conclusions

Many advantages are provided by such a simple unit in a contactless ignition system as a switch. This includes an increase in power, even if only slightly, a reduction in fuel consumption, and a significant improvement in the engine in terms of reliability. And most importantly, there is no need for constant monitoring and timely adjustment of the system. The modern driver does not want to repair a car, he needs a means of transportation. Moreover, it is reliable and will not let you down at the most crucial moment. Regardless of which switch is used in the BSZ, its efficiency is much higher than that of a contact breaker.
