BOSCH MTS 5200 LAB SCOPE Presented by Bob Pattengale THE LAB SCOPE (SQUARE WAVE WITH & WITHOUT GLITCH) Triggers The MTS 5200 has a set of trigger controls that determine the exact instant the trace begins the sweep across the screen. If a trigger is set at a specific voltage level, and the signal being sampled achieves that trigger level voltage, then the MTS 5200 displays the signal. - Page 55 BOSCH MTS 5200 LAB SCOPE Presented by Bob Pattengale THE LAB SCOPE (SQUARE WAVE WITH & WITHOUT GLITCH) Triggers Trigger edge set to “Rising” position A good way of understanding trigger points is this. Imagine that you are driving down the road and you have a camera in your hands and you want to take a series of pictures.
- Page 56 BOSCH MTS 5200 LAB SCOPE Presented by Bob Pattengale THE LAB SCOPE (SQUARE WAVE WITH & WITHOUT GLITCH) Triggers Single Shot Trigger Single Shot trigger is used when you want to capture a certain characteristic of a known signal. If the signal under examination does not reach your trigger threshold setting, the MTS 5200 does not display any signal.

Page 57: The Lab Scope (Injector Signal)
BOSCH MTS 5200 LAB SCOPE Presented by Bob Pattengale THE LAB SCOPE (INJECTOR SIGNAL) We have moved our test lead on the the demonstration board to the injector signal terminal. In the Signal Finder mode we have also selected Fuel Injectors from the Component Selection menu. -
Page 58: The Lab Scope (Missing Trigger)
BOSCH MTS 5200 LAB SCOPE Presented by Bob Pattengale THE LAB SCOPE (MISSING TRIGGER) An important thing we need to cover before moving on to the hands on portion are missing triggers (missing events). Depending upon how you set up your scope you may not be catching what you think that you should be catching. -

BOSCH MTS 5200 LAB SCOPE Presented by Bob Pattengale 1995 NISSAN IGNITION CASE STUDY Now that we have covered the navigation and functions of the MTS 5200 it is time to take a look at the power it has when used in your diagnostic strategy. Up until now we have only demonstrated how to use the lab scope using one channel. - Page 61 BOSCH MTS 5200 LAB SCOPE Presented by Bob Pattengale 1995 NISSAN IGNITION CASE STUDY Coil Power (green) Coil Control (red) Coil Ground (blue) Coil #2 (yellow) Now that we know that the PCM is not commanding the coil to fire we have to find out why. The instructor has connected all four of the channels of the scope to the ignition coil as shown in the screen capture above.
- Page 62 BOSCH MTS 5200 LAB SCOPE Presented by Bob Pattengale 1995 NISSAN IGNITION CASE STUDY The first sensor that was the easiest to get to was the CMP sensor. As you can see in the waveform above, that at no time did the CMP sensor signal drop out, but the ignition pattern at the bottom is still dropping out intermittently.
- Page 63 BOSCH MTS 5200 LAB SCOPE Presented by Bob Pattengale 1995 NISSAN IGNITION CASE STUDY Crank Signal (blue) Signal (red) Since we have determined that the problem is NOT with the CKP sensor or the CMP sensor, we need to look closer at the relationship between the camshaft and the crankshaft.
- Page 64 BOSCH MTS 5200 LAB SCOPE Presented by Bob Pattengale 1995 NISSAN IGNITION CASE STUDY Pictured above is a screen capture of a CMP/CKP signal waveform taken from the IATN website. This waveform is showing us what a known good waveform for each looks like along with the relationship between the two.

Page 65: Live Vehicle Testing (Secondary Ignition Cop Wand)
BOSCH MTS 5200 LAB SCOPE Presented by Bob Pattengale LIVE VEHICLE TESTING (SECONDARY IGNITION COP WAND) In this portion of the presentation we are going to take a look at some of the basic signals and circuits underneath the hood of a live vehicle. We will use the MTS 5200 and demonstrate how you connect it to the most common signals that you will be testing. - Page 66 BOSCH MTS 5200 LAB SCOPE Presented by Bob Pattengale LIVE VEHICLE TESTING (SECONDARY IGNITION COP WAND) You can see in the screen capture above that this vehicle has a multi-strike ignition system as indicated by the three firing patterns in the waveform. The first thing we need to look at is the primary (1st strike) ignition pattern of each ignition coil.

Page 67: Live Vehicle Testing (Secondary Ignition Cop Loop)
BOSCH MTS 5200 LAB SCOPE Presented by Bob Pattengale LIVE VEHICLE TESTING (SECONDARY IGNITION COP LOOP) Many times on vehicles that have COP ignition systems it is difficult to spot a misfire at idle. Normally misfires on COP ignition vehicles occur when the vehicle is running down the road. To detect misfires while driving the vehicle we want to use a COP loop. - Page 68 BOSCH MTS 5200 LAB SCOPE Presented by Bob Pattengale LIVE VEHICLE TESTING (SECONDARY IGNITION COP LOOP) You can see in the screen capture above that the scope has been set up with the trigger point on the leading edge of the waveform. Also note that the Time/Div has been increased giving more resolution to the pattern for easier viewing.

Page 69: Secondary Ignition Testing With The Lab Scope
BOSCH MTS 5200 LAB SCOPE Presented by Bob Pattengale SECONDARY IGNITION TESTING WITH THE LAB SCOPE So far we have covered two ways to diagnose secondary ignition problems. We have used the COP wand and the COP loop but there is also another method you can try, and that is using the 4 channel lab scope to diagnose the ignition patterns. -
Page 70: Secondary Ignition Testing Review
BOSCH MTS 5200 LAB SCOPE Presented by Bob Pattengale SECONDARY IGNITION TESTING REVIEW We have covered several different methods of testing the secondary ignition. As not to confuse you lets recap the things that really count. 1. If you are performing any type of ignition repair or diagnostics, start with the COP wand. This is the quickest way you can get an ignition pattern on the screen of your lab scope. -
Page 71: Live Vehicle Testing (Fuel Pump)
BOSCH MTS 5200 LAB SCOPE Presented by Bob Pattengale LIVE VEHICLE TESTING (FUEL INJECTORS) The screen capture above illustrates what a known good injector pattern looks like on our subject vehicle. As with the previous ignition patterns, you can switch between channel 1 and channel 2 to compare signals. - Page 72 BOSCH MTS 5200 LAB SCOPE Presented by Bob Pattengale LIVE VEHICLE TESTING (FUEL PUMP) You will get very good at using this current probe as you get better at using your lab scope. You need to get in the habit of testing every fuel pump on every high mileage vehicle that comes through your shop.
- Page 73 BOSCH MTS 5200 LAB SCOPE Presented by Bob Pattengale LIVE VEHICLE TESTING (FUEL PUMP) Using a suitable scan tool we can duty cycle the fuel pump without the vehicle running, and analyze the waveform on the lab scope. If your scan tool is not capable of this, you may have to find another way to command the fuel pump on.

Page 74: Live Vehicle Testing (Tps - Gmm)
BOSCH MTS 5200 LAB SCOPE Presented by Bob Pattengale LIVE VEHICLE TESTING (TPS - GMM) For this portion of the presentation we are going to take a closer look at the throttle position sensor (TPS). The TPS is a very common sensor and when it fails you will usually have a hesitation or problems that are very similar to hesitations. -
Page 75: Live Vehicle Testing (Recap)
BOSCH MTS 5200 LAB SCOPE Presented by Bob Pattengale LIVE VEHICLE TESTING (TPS - GMM) In the screen capture above you can see that as we exercise the throttle from WOT to closed, the signal trace on the screen follows the movement indicating that the TPS is working correctly. -
