About TDC Sensors
The Land Rover TDC sensor (Top Dead Centre sensor) is an important and clever electronic sensor which works in conjunction with the car's ECU, playing a crucial part in enabling the engine to run on time and smoothly. Information gathered by the TDC sensor is sent to the ECU which uses it, along with information from other engine sensors, to determine and control the ignition and fuel injection timing of the engine, transmission changing and variable valve timing.
The TDC sensor can be found in the engine compartment, positioned on the gear box above the fly wheel, or mounted on the top of the transmission bellhousing at the left-hand end of the cylinder block. It can be easily seen when the air box is removed.
It is common for an internal combustion engine to use a four-stroke action. The intake stroke, which is the first stroke of the pistons, draws an equal amount of air from the inlet manifold into each cylinder, delivering the air via the air intake valve. For the next three strokes of the engine the air intake valves are shut while compression, combustion and exhaust processes are occurring. Then the intake valves open again and once more the air is drawn through into the cylinders from the inlet manifold. The spark plugs should fire, igniting the fuel in the cylinder, when the piston is at top dead centre. When the piston is in this position, the air intake valves are shut while compression, combustion and exhaust processes are occurring. The TDC sensor lets the ECU know when a cylinder is at top dead centre and the ECU then instructs a spark to be sent to the correct cylinder at the correct time for ignition to occur. The spark is produced via the spark plug which provides an electrical current to the combustion chamber in a cylinder in a petrol engine. The spark produced ignites the engine enabling the air/fuel mix to burn in the cylinder and combustion to occur. A defective TDC sensor can literally stop the engine from starting. If the engine does start, a fault with this sensor may cause the engine to run poorly.
As is often the case with electrical components, the TDC sensor can fail because of damage caused by corrosion or it can simply wear out. A faulty TDC sensor may cause the engine control unit to miss a correctly timed signal and the spark may not ignite in the right cylinder at the right time, which could lead to the engine operating badly or ceasing to work. Correct operation of the TDC sensor is vital to the running and timing of the engine. It is wise to consult with your mechanic when experiencing problems with ignition and the engine, to ensure the correct fault is found and fixed as soon as possible. When this electronic sensor goes wrong, it is important install a compatible replacement part. The Land Rover TDC sensor offers complete compatibility, specifically manufactured for the make and model of your vehicle.
Land Rover trivia
- Land Rovers and James Bond go hand in hand. The 4x4 Land Rover has been in more Bond films than there have been Bond actors! In Spectre, the Defender SVX was customised with 37-inch tyres and more power.
- When the Pope was visiting the UK in 1984, Land Rover designed him a customised Popemobile to use in the country.
- The designer Charles S. King worked with Rolls Royce to design jet engines before going on to build the Range Rover. King would go onto building a car around those jet engines that then held the world land speed record, the first turbine-powered vehicle to do so.
- Inspired by the Jeeps that had been used in WWII, the first Land Rover's steering wheel was in the middle of the dashboard. This was partly to counter the need to create left and right-hand drive models for different countries.
- In the 1950s, you could buy yourself a Land Rover with tank tracks instead of wheels. Known as the Cuthbertson Version, it was intended for use by farmers and was tested by driving across the Scottish Highlands.
