DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
The Trionic is an engine management system in which fuel injection, ignition timing and boost pressure control are integrated into a single system with a common control module.

There are many similarities between the Trionic, LH and DI/APC systems, but the Trionic incorporates a number of new components and functions.

The most important electrical differences between the Trionic and the earlier LH-DI/APC system are as follows:
^ One control module instead of two.
^ Mass air flow sensor 205 is replaced by a sensor for measuring the pressure in intake manifold 431 and intake air temperature sensor 407.
^ Knock sensor 178 is replaced by a knock sensor function (ionization measurement) integrated into a new [1][2]ignition discharge module (346).

Trionic Control Module
Control module 430 monitors and controls a number of functions.

The Control Module Obtains Information From:
^ Ignition switch 20
^ Brake light switch 29
^ Cruise Control system control module 508
^ ABS control module 547
^ Oxygen sensor 136
^ Antifrost thermostat 171
^ Engine coolant temperature sensor 202
^ Throttle position sensor 203
^ Crankshaft position sensor 345
^ [1][2]Ignition discharge module 346
^ Intake air temperature sensor 407
^ Manifold absolute pressure sensor 431
^ ICE control module 500 (radiator fan)

The Control Module Sends Information To:
^ SHIFT UP indicator lamp 47K
^ Malfunction indicator (CHECK ENGINE) lamp 47O
^ Fuel pump relay 102
^ A/C compressor relay 156 (via pressure switch 166)
^ Boost pressure control valve 179
^ Injectors 206
^ Main relay 229
^ Oxygen sensor preheating element 271
^ [1][2]Idle air control valve 272
^ Canister purge valve 321
^ [1][2]Ignition discharge module 346
^ Data link connector 445
^ Main instrument display panel 540B

Power Supply
The system is supplied with positive voltage via fuse 17 when the ignition switch is in the Start or Drive position. A constant voltage (+30 circuit) is also applied to relays 229 and 102 as well as Trionic control module 430.

Fuel Supply
Fuel is supplied through fuel pump 323 building up pressure in the system.

The fuel supply function is adaptive, which means that the supply of fuel is continually adapted to any wear, changes in components, etc. that may occur.

Ignition Timing
The ignition timing is fixed and cannot be adjusted. Retarded ignition timing is obtained in the following cases:
^ knock indication
^ fuel shut-off (engine braking with closed throttle butterfly).

Data Link Connector 445
The data link connector for connection of an Intelligent Saab Tester (ISAT) Scan Tool is located under the dashboard adjacent to the steering wheel (16-pin connector).

Spark Plug Burn-off
Automatic spark plug burn-off is carried out with a burst of sparks each time the engine is switched off. Burn-off is carried out in all cylinders simultaneously and lasts for 5 seconds at a rate of 210 sparks per second.

IMPORTANT: Current for the Trionic control module and [1][2]ignition discharge module is obtained from the main relay of the engine management system, which remains operated for 6 seconds after the engine has been switched off.

Upshift Indication 47K
Shift-up indication is provided on cars with a manual gearbox for the US and CA markets.

The system helps the driver to utilize engine performance optimally and so obtain the lowest possible fuel consumption. This is done by means of lamp 47K in the main instrument display panel which lights up when a higher gear should be engaged, i.e. when engine speed and throttle opening reach certain values.

When the load on the engine drops below a certain value (basic injection duration) at the same time as engine speed reaches certain values, the control module grounds lamp 47K via pin 55.

Cars With Automatic Transmission, TCM
When the selector lever is moved to a position other than P or N, the Trionic control module receives a signal from the TCM control module to compensate for the load increase.

Tachometer (rev counter) 110
Tachometer 110 in main instrument display panel 540 is supplied with current via fuse 17. Control pulses are obtained from control module 430 to show engine rpm.

Turbo Pressure Gauge 558
Control module 430 sends a signal to main instrument display panel control module 540. Proportional the intake manifold pressure, this signal controls the turbo pressure gauge in the main instrument display panel, causing it to give an indication.

The turbo pressure gauge is supplied with current (+15 circuit) via fuse 17.

Exhaust Emission Control, Lambda
The system is connected to an adaptive Lambda system which compensates for changes in the fuel-air mixture due to changes in the fuel system.

Since oxygen sensor 136 continuously measure the oxygen content of the exhaust emissions, the control module can adjust the fuel-air mixture until it is as close as possible to lambda = 1. The sensor is heated by preheater 271, protected by fuse 38.

Boost Pressure Control Valve 179
The boost pressure control valve uses signals from the control module to control the turbo's boost pressure.

The control module is supplied continuously with signals from the sensors and ignition system. On the basis of these signals the control unit regulates the boost pressure control valve and with it the turbo's boost pressure. Since boost pressure is adapted continuously to the octane rating of the fuel and the conditions under which the engine is made to work, it has been possible to disregard the setting tolerances that must normally be taken into consideration to avoid damaging the engine. Owing to this, the fuel currently used can be utilized to the full.

Air Conditioning, A/C
The Trionic control module receives information from antifrost thermostat 171 to the effect that the A/C system is engaged. The control module then grounds A/C relay 156 via pressure switch 166.

When the A/C compressor is engaged, the control module increases engine idling speed to compensate for the increased load represented by the compressor.

Coolant Temperature Sensor 202
Coolant temperature sensor 202 is of NTC type and provides the control module with information on the temperature of the coolant. In the event of a break in this signal the control module simulates a temperature of 26 °C.

Throttle Position Sensor 203
Throttle position sensor 203 provides the control module with information on the position of the throttle butterfly valve. The sensor gives the angle continuously from idling speed to wide open throttle.

Malfunction Indicator (CHECK ENGINE) lamp 47O
The malfunction indicator (CHECK ENGINE) lamp in main instrument display panel 540 lights up when a serious fault arises in the system.

[1][2]Idle Air Control Valve 272
The Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) is controlled by means of current variations from the Trionic control module. The control module controls the valve opening angle so that a regulated air flow is let past the throttle butterfly.

If a fault should arise in the valve, it will be automatically set to a constant idling speed of about 1200 rpm.

EVAP canister purge valve 321
The purge valve, mounted on the evaporative emission canister, is opened and closed by the control module.

Crankshaft Position Sensor 345
The control module obtains information on the position and speed of the crankshaft from the crankshaft position sensor.

The sensor consists of a slotted ring fitted on the crankshaft at the flywheel end and an inductive sensor mounted on the engine block. The inductive sensor works somewhat like a small alternator, the sine-wave voltage and frequency of which increase with increasing engine speed. The sine-wave voltage alternates between positive and negative polarity, which is accomplished by means of "teeth" on the slotted ring.

This alternating polarity is used by the control module to measure the speed of the engine and to determine which cylinder pair's pistons are at, or on the way up to, TDC.

If the sensor does not work due to a break in the circuit, for instance, the engine will not start.

[1][2]Ignition Discharge Module 346
The ignition discharge module incorporates a transformer which increases the voltage to 400 V, a capacitor in which the voltage is stored, integrated ignition coils (not replaceable) and a built-in knock sensing function.

WARNING: The electronic ignition system generates voltages higher than 40,000 V. Such voltages may be fatal to persons with a weak heart or those who have a pacemaker. So treat the entire ignition system with great respect.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor 407
The temperature sensor is located in the intake manifold. It is of NTC type and provides the control module with a continuous signal containing information on the temperature of the intake air.
Low temperature = High voltage
High temperature = Low voltage
On the basis of the current air pressure (from manifold absolute pressure sensor 431) and the temperature of the intake air, the current air mass can be determined.

Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor 431
The Trionic system incorporates manifold absolute pressure sensor 431 which continuously senses the pressure in the intake manifold.

The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor passes on this information to the Trionic control module in the form of voltage signals.
Low pressure = Low voltage
High pressure = High voltage

On the basis of the current air pressure and the temperature of the intake air (from intake air temperature sensor 407), the current air mass can be determined.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS HINTS
The Intelligent Saab Tester (ISAT) scan tool is used for fault diagnosis and reading diagnostic trouble codes.
