DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The Mpi Modular Engine Management System
(MEMS) controls the fuel injection and programmed
ignition systems.
The main features are as follows:
·The Engine Control Module (ECM) controls
programmed ignition and fuel injection. The ECM
incorporates short circuit protection and can
store intermittent faults on certain inputs.
Testbook can interrogate the ECM for these
stored faults.
·The ECM uses the speed/density method of air
flow measurement to calculate fuel delivery. This
method measures the inlet air temperature and
inlet manifold pressure and assumes that the
engine is a calibrated vacuum pump with its
characteristics stored in the ECM
·If certain system inputs fail, the ECM implements
a back-up facility to enable the system to
continue functioning, although at a reduced level
of performance.
·A separate diagnostic connector allows engine
tuning or fault diagnosis to be carried out using
Testbook without disconnecting the ECM
harness connector.
·The ECM harness multiplug incorporates
specially plated pins to minimise oxidation and
give improved reliability.
·The throttle potentiometer requires no
adjustment in service. The following components
supply data for both fuelling and ignition:Ignition system
The ECM determines the optimum ignition timing
based on the signals it receives from the following
sensors:
1.Crankshaft sensor - Engine speed and
crankshaft position.
2.Manifold absolute pressure sensor - Engine load
3.Coolant temperature sensor - Engine
temperature.
4.Manifold absolute pressure sensor - Throttle
closed.
5.Knock sensor - Engine noise and vibration.
MEMS uses no centrifugal or vacuum advance, timing
being controlled by the ECM which is energised by the
main relay, within the relay module. Spark distribution
is achieved by 2 coils mounted at the rear of the
engine and controlled by the ECM.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Fuel system
ECM
The MEMS system is controlled by the ECM which is
located in the engine compartment.
The ECM is an adaptive unit and can learn the load
and wear characteristics of a particular engine.
The ECM remembers and updates two main engine
requirements when the engine is fully warm:
1.The idle stepper position required to achieve the
specified idle speed.
2.The fuelling change or offset required to achieve
a set oxygen sensor voltage.
The stepper position is used as a reference to update
the amount of stepper motor movement required to
achieve the specified idle speed under all conditions.
The fuelling offset is required to enable the system
when not in closed loop control to provide the correct
fuelling and while in closed loop control to prevent
having to apply excessive adjustments to the fuelling
which can adversely affect the emissions and
driveability.
NOTE: After fitting a different ECM, a full
tune procedure must be carried out using
Testbook.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Fuel pump
The electric fuel pump, located inside the fuel tank, is
a self-priming centrifugal 'wet' pump, the motor and
pump are filled with fuel.
The fuel pump supplies more fuel than the maximum
load requirement for the engine, so that pressure in
the fuel system can be maintained under all
conditions.
Fuel pressure regulator
The pressure regulator is a mechanical device
controlled by manifold depression and is mounted in
the fuel rail. The regulator ensures that fuel rail
pressure is maintained at a constant pressure
difference to that in the inlet manifold, as manifold
depression increases the regulated fuel pressure is
reduced in direct proportion.
When pressure exceeds the regulator setting excess
fuel is spill returned to the fuel tank swirl pot which
contains the fuel pick-up strainer.
Relay module
The relay module contains the main relay, fuel pump
relay, starter relay and oxygen sensor relay and is
mounted on the ECM mounting bracket.
The main relay is energised when the ignition is
switched on and supplies current to the ECM
The fuel pump relay is energised by the ECM for a
short period when the ignition is switched on, during
cranking and while the engine is running.
The starter relay is energised by the cranking signal
from the ignition switch.
This oxygen sensor relay is energised when the
ignition is switched on and supplies current to the
ECM
Intake air temperature sensor
The intake air temperature sensor is fitted in the side
of the inlet manifold and sends the ECM a signal
relating to air temperature. The ECM uses this signal
in its calculations on air flow.
Inertia switch
The fuel pump circuit incorporates an inertia switch
which in the event of sudden deceleration isolates the
power supply to the fuel pump. The inertia switch is
situated in the engine compartment on the bulkhead
and can, if tripped, be reset by depressing the central
plunger.
WARNING: Check the integrity of the fuel
system before the inertia switch is reset.
Diagnostic connector
A diagnostic connector is provided to enable
diagnosis to be carried out without disturbing the
system electrical connections and to allow the ECM's
ability to store certain faults to be utilised.
Oxygen sensor - Closed-loop emission control
The MEMS Mpi system operates a closed loop
emission system to ensure the most efficient level of
exhaust gas conversion.
An oxygen sensor fitted in the exhaust manifold
monitors the exhaust gases. It then supplies a small
voltage proportional to exhaust oxygen content to the
ECM As the air/fuel mixture weakens, the exhaust
oxygen content increases and so the voltage to the
ECM decreases. If the mixture becomes richer so the
oxygen content decreases and the voltage increases.
The ECM uses this signal voltage to determine the
air/fuel mixture being delivered to the engine, and
adjusts the injector duration to maintain the ratio
necessary for efficient gas conversion by the catalyst.
The oxygen sensor has an integral heating element to
ensure an efficient operating temperature is quickly
reached from cold. The electrical supply for the heater
element is controlled by the oxygen sensor relay.
Fuel temperature sensor
The fuel temperature sensor is inserted in the fuel rail
and measures fuel and fuel rail temperatures. During
engine cranking at high temperatures, the ECM
increases fuel supply, and opens the throttle disc via
the stepper motor to aid hot starting.

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 CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM - V8i/Tdi AUTO EDC
Description
The cruise control system consists of
electro-mechanical devices, and comprises of the
following components.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU)
The microprocessor based ECU evaluates the signals
provided by the driver controls, brake pedal switch,
clutch pedal switch on manual models, and the
vehicle speed sensor. The ECU activates the vacuum
pump as required. The ECU also has a memory
function for set speed storage.
Driver operated switches
The main cruise control switch is located in the
auxiliary switch panel and activates the cruise control
system. The steering wheel switches provide
'set/accelerate' and 'resume/decelerate' features.
These switches provide the interface between driver
and cruise control system.
Brake pedal switch
The brake pedal switch is located under the lower
dash attached to the brake pedal mounting bracket.
The switch provides for fast disengagement of the
cruise control system and rapid return of the throttle
levers to the idle position when the brake pedal is
applied.
Clutch pedal switch
The clutch pedal switch is located under the lower
dash attached to the clutch pedal mounting bracket.
The switch provides for fast disengagement of the
cruise control system and rapid return of the throttle
levers to the idle position when the clutch pedal is
applied.Vehicle speed sensor
The vehicle speed sensor is located on the side of the
transfer box adjacent to park brake. The sensor
provides road speed data to the ECU. The cruise
control system cannot be engaged until the road
speed exceeds 45 km/h, (28 mph) the system will
automatically disengage at a road speed of 42 km/h
(26 mph).
Vacuum pump
The vacuum pump is energised when the main cruise
control switch is operated, and is actuated by the
steering wheel and brake pedal switches. The pump
provides a vacuum source to the cruise control
actuator. A control valve in the pump provides for
steady increase of road speed or purge of the system
when the brake pedal is applied.
Actuator
The actuator provides the servo mechanism link
between the cruise control system and throttle linkage
and is operated by vacuum from the vacuum pump.
Neutral lockout relay - automatic vehicles
The relay module is located in the right hand side
footwell, accessible by removing the trim casing.
The function of the relay module is to disengage the
cruise control system if neutral, or park, is selected in
the main gearbox, when the system is engaged.
Engine speed trip ECU - Manual vehicles
This unit is located in the right hand side footwell,
accessible by removing the trim casing.
The function of the unit is to disengage cruise control
if engine speed exceeds 5000 rev/min.
