DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION SYSTEM OPERATION
Ignition on
When the ignition is switched on, voltage is applied to
ECM pin 11. The ECM then switches on the main
relay by supplying an earth path at pin 4. This allows
battery voltage to pass to ECM pin 28, to the four
injectors and through the ignition coil to ECM pin 25.
In addition, the fuel pump relay is switched on by the
ECM supplying an earth path on pin 20. Voltage is
applied through the inertia switch to the fuel pump.
The pump runs for a short period to pressurise the
fuel rail. The fuel pressure regulator will open at its
maximum setting and excess fuel is spill returned to
the tank.
The ECM determines the amount of stepper motor
movement from the following signals:
·Engine coolant temperature data at pin 33.
·Inlet air temperature data at pin 16.
·Throttle potentiometer data at pin 8.
·Engine speed data at pins 31 and 32.
·Manifold absolute pressure data (via pipe from
manifold).
·Battery voltage at pin 28.
·Ignition signal at pin 11.
If one or more of the following inputs fail, the ECM will
substitute the back-up values shown to maintain
driveability.
Input Back-up value
Coolant temperature Idle Speed controlled until
engine is fully warm. 60°Cat
speeds above idle.
Inlet air temperature Derived from engine speed and
engine load.
Manifold absolute Derived from engine speed and
pressure throttle position.
Starter operation
Whilst the starter relay is energised, battery voltage is
applied to the starter motor solenoid. The solenoid
also energises and supplies battery voltage directly to
the starter motor.
Ignition is controlled by the ECM switching the low
tension circuit via pin 25.
The ECM provides an earth signal on pins 24, 23, 26
and 1 for the period the injectors are required to be
open, the injector solenoids are energised
(simultaneously on naturally aspirated models) and
fuel is sprayed into the manifold onto the back of the
inlet valves. The ECM carefully meters the amount of
fuel injected by adjusting the injector opening period
(pulse width). During cranking, when the engine
speed is below approx. 400 rev/min, the ECM
increases the injector pulse width to aid starting. The
amount of increase depends upon coolant
temperature. To prevent flooding, injector pulses are
intermittent i.e. 24 on then 8 pulses off.
Idling
After start enrichment is provided at all temperatures
immediately cranking ceases. The ECM controls the
enrichment by increasing injector pulse width. The
enrichment decays in relation to the rising coolant
temperature.
Provided the ECM is receiving a signal that the engine
speed is close to the idle speed set point, the ECM
will implement idle speed control.
The ECM activates a unipolar stepper motor acting
directly on the throttle lever. Idle speed response is
improved by the ignition system advancing or
retarding the timing when load is placed on, or
removed from the engine.
If, during engine idle, the load on the engine is
increased sufficiently to cause engine speed to fall,
the ECM will sense this via the crankshaft sensor and
instantly advance the ignition timing to increase idle
speed and then energise the stepper motor to open
the throttle disc thus maintaining the idle speed.
Finally the ignition timing is retarded to its nominal
value.
The ECM monitors battery voltage and, if voltage falls
sufficiently to cause fluctuations in injector pulse
widths, it increases the injector pulse widths to
compensate.
On return to idle, the ECM will implement a slightly
higher idle speed to prevent the engine stalling.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Driving
When the throttle pedal is depressed, the ECM
implements the cruise air/fuel ratio map. During
driving the ECM continually monitors inlet air
temperature and engine speed and load for it's air
flow calculations, together with coolant temperature
for any temperature corrections. Additional inputs are
throttle potentiometer for acceleration and throttle
pedal switch for cruise/idle fuel map selection and
over-run fuel cut-off.
Acceleration enrichment
When the throttle pedal is depressed, the ECM
receives a rising voltage from the throttle
potentiometer and detects a rise in manifold pressure
from the manifold absolute pressure sensor. The ECM
provides additional fuel by increasing the normal
injector pulse width and also provides a small number
of extra injector pulses on rapid throttle openings.
Over-run fuel cut-off
The ECM implements over-run fuel cut-off when the
following signals are received.
·Throttle disc closed.
·Engine speed is above 2000 rev/min - engine at
normal operating temperature.
Fuel is reinstated progressively when any of the
above signals cease.
Over-speed fuel cut-off
To prevent damage at high engine speeds the ECM
inhibits the earth path for the injectors, cutting off
injection. As engine speed falls, injection is reinstated.
Ignition switch off
When the ignition is switched off, the ECM will keep
the main relay energised for approx. 30 seconds while
it drives the stepper motor to the 35 step position for
the next engine start.

ADJUSTMENT THROTTLE CABLE
Adjust
NOTE: Use diagnostic equipment to
ensure that the throttle potentiometer and
stepper motor are synchronised before
adjusting the throttle cable.
Ensure that the cable is correctly routed and located.
1.Switch ignition on, wait 5 seconds and switch
ignition off to ensure stepper motor is in setting
position.
2.Loosen throttle cable adjustment nut and locknut
from abutment bracket.
3.Hold cam in "throttle closed" position and rotate
cable adjustment nut until a gap of 2mm exists
between the nut and abutment bracket.
4.Tighten cable locknut to contact abutment
bracket.
5.Using two wrenches tighten nuts onto abutment
bracket.
6.Operate throttle pedal and ensure throttle opens
fully.

NO - Continue.
5.Is air flow through radiator restricted or blocked?
YES - Apply air pressure from engine side of
radiator to clear obstruction.
NO - Continue.
6.Are there any external leaks, from water pump,
engine gaskets or the heater unit?
YES - Investigate and rectify.
See Adjustment,
Coolant Requirements
NO - Continue.
7.Are fan blades fitted correct way round, concave
side towards engine?
NO - Rectify.
YES - Continue.8.Is viscous unit operating correctly?
See
Description and operation, Viscous Fan
NO - Renew.See Repair, Viscous
Coupling, Fan Blades, Pulley and Fan
Cowl
YES - Carry out a pressure test on radiator cap
and system. Check thermostat type,
operation and correct fitting
See Repair,
Thermostat
If pressure test leads you to suspect coolant
leakage across gaskets, go to check 11,
otherwise: Continue.
9.Are the air conditioning fans operating correctly?
See Electrical Trouble Shooting Manual.K5
NO - Rectify.
YES - Continue.
10.Is temperature sender and gauge giving
accurate readings?
NO - Substitute parts and compare readings.
YES - Continue.
11.Carry out cylinder pressure test to determine if
pressure is leaking into cooling system causing
over pressurising and loss of coolant.
If problem is not diagnosed, check the coolant system
for engine oil contamination and engine lubrication
system for coolant contamination.
If the coolant only, or both systems are contaminated,
suspect cylinder head gaskets or radiator.
If only the lubrication stystem is contaminated with
coolant, suspect inlet manifold or front cover gaskets.

TRANSFER GEARBOX
1
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION LT230T TRANSFER BOX
The LT230T transfer box is a permanent 4 wheel
drive, two speed ratio reducing gearbox incorporating
high and low range outputs with mechanically lockable
centre differential (diff-lock). High/low range and
diff-lock selection are made via a single lever located
forward of the main gear lever.
A shiftlock device is fitted in some territories, it is used
as a park facility and prevents accidental gear
disengagement when the ignition is switched off. An
audible neutral alarm is also fitted. This alerts the
driver when parking to move the gear lever to the high
or low position.
