The FXB-A01014 training bench is developed around an EA211 1.4 T gasoline engine equipped with an electronic engine management system. It allows users to reproduce key engine operating conditions, including starting, acceleration, and deceleration, to demonstrate the engine's structure, operating principles, and interactions between its main components.
This equipment is intended for automotive technology, engine maintenance, and electronic vehicle diagnostics training. It helps students connect theoretical knowledge with practical exercises performed on real engine systems.
Features and Training Equipment
1. Real Engine and Electronic Control System
The training bench incorporates an operational electronically controlled gasoline engine, allowing students to study engine construction, operating cycles, and the main components of the fuel injection and electronic control systems.
2. Training Panel and Technical Diagrams
The training panel is made of aluminum-plastic composite material with a minimum thickness of 4 mm. It offers resistance to corrosion, impact, moisture, and fire. Its surface is specially treated and coated with primer.
Electrical circuit diagrams and system operating diagrams are printed on the panel and protected by a transparent coating. Students can use these diagrams alongside the actual components to study and analyze the electronic engine management system.
3. Instrumentation and Parameter Monitoring
The bench is equipped with a dashboard, a fuel level indicator, and a vacuum/pressure gauge. These instruments allow users to observe changes in operating parameters, including engine speed, fuel injection pressure, and intake manifold pressure, subject to the measurement capabilities of the equipment.
4. Test Terminals and Signal Analysis
Test terminals are provided for measuring and analyzing electrical signals from sensors, actuators, and engine control unit (ECU) pins. Measurements may include resistance, voltage, current, frequency, and electrical waveforms, depending on the circuit being tested.
5. Electronic Diagnostic System
A 16-pin diagnostic connector allows users to connect a compatible automotive diagnostic scanner. The system supports reading and clearing fault codes and retrieving live data from the engine electronic control system.
6. Acceleration and Deceleration Control
An accelerator control device allows users to vary engine speed and study the response of the electronic engine management system during acceleration and deceleration.
7. Safety Features
The training bench includes a main power switch and protective devices, including protection for the coolant reservoir and flywheel, helping improve safety during practical training sessions.
8. Durable Mobile Frame
The supporting frame is made of steel with a painted finish. Lockable castors facilitate movement and help keep the training bench stable during use.
9. Customizable Operating Language
The equipment can be configured in English or another language upon request, subject to availability.
10. User and Training Manual
An English-language user manual is supplied. It covers equipment introduction, operating procedures, fault configuration, diagnosis, and troubleshooting methods.
11. Wireless Fault Simulation and Assessment System
The training bench features a wireless fault-setting and assessment system. Instructors can use a tablet to configure faults and ask students to identify and diagnose them.
This system helps instructors assess student progress, evaluate practical skills, and improve troubleshooting and automotive diagnostic capabilities.

Main Engine Systems for Study
Electronic Intake Air Management
The engine uses a motorized throttle body controlled electronically by the fuel injection ECU to regulate the intake air supply.
High-Pressure Gasoline Injection System
The fuel injection system includes a high-pressure fuel pump, a high-pressure fuel rail, and fuel injectors mounted in the cylinder head.
Variable Valve Timing
The valve train incorporates a variable intake valve timing system controlled by a camshaft phaser.
Exhaust Gas Recirculation
The engine is equipped with an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system designed to help control exhaust emissions.
Exhaust After-Treatment and Sensors
Depending on the engine configuration, the exhaust after-treatment system includes a pre-catalytic converter equipped with the following components:
- A wideband oxygen sensor upstream of the catalytic converter.
- An upstream exhaust gas temperature sensor.
- A downstream exhaust gas temperature sensor.
- A nitrogen oxide (NOx) storage-reduction catalyst.
