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.

CRUISE CONTROL
1
FAULT DIAGNOSIS ROAD TEST
CAUTION: Do not engage cruise control
when vehicle is being used in low transfer
gear or reverse.
WARNING: The use of cruise control is not
recommended on winding, snow covered
or slippery roads or in heavy traffic
conditions where a constant speed cannot be
maintained.
1.Start engine, depress main control switch to
actuate cruise control system. Accelerate to
approximately 50 km/h, (30 mph), operate
'set/acc'switch, immediately release switch,
remove foot from accelerator pedal. Vehicle
should maintain speed at which'set/acc'switch
was operated.
2.Operate'set/acc'switch and hold at that
position, vehicle should accelerate smoothly until
switch is released. Vehicle should now maintain
new speed at which'set/acc'switch was
released.
3.Momentarily touch and release'set/acc'switch,
vehicle speed should increase 1.6 km/h (1 mph)
for each touch. Note that five touches will
increase speed 8 km/h (5 mph).
4.Apply'res/decel'switch while vehicle is in cruise
control mode, cruise control should disengage.
Slow to approximately 55 km/h, (35 mph)
operate'res/decel'switch, immediately release
switch and remove foot from accelerator, vehicle
should smoothly accelerate to previously set
speed. Increase speed using accelerator pedal,
release pedal, vehicle should return to previously
set speed.
NOTE: The cruise control system fitted to
the diesel engine is not as responsive as
that fitted to the petrol engine, due to the
characteristics of diesel engines. Therefore, at
speeds below approx. 65 km/h (40 mph), the
vehicle speed may drop when cruise is selected
and then slowly regain the 'set' speed.5.Operate brake pedal, cruise control system
should immediately disengage returning vehicle
to driver control at accelerator pedal. Operate
'res/decel'switch, vehicle should accelerate to
previously set speed without driver operation of
accelerator pedal.
6.Operate'res/decel'switch and allow vehicle to
decelerate to below 42 km/h, (26 mph). Operate
'res/decel'switch, cruise control system should
remain disengaged.
7.Operate'set/acc'switch below 40 km/h, (28
mph), cruise control system should remain
disengaged. Accelerate, using accelerator pedal
to above 45 km/h, (28 mph), operate'res/decel'
switch, and remove foot from accelerator pedal,
vehicle should smoothly adjust to previously
memorised speed.
8. Automatic vehicles- select neutral, system
should disengage.Manual vehicles- depress
clutch, system should disengage.
9.Cruise at 80 km/h (50 mph), declutch, select
neutral, remove foot from clutch. Operate
'res/decel'switch. Engine should rev to 5000
rev/min, cruise control disengages, engine
returns to idle.
10.Engage forward gear. Operate'res/decel'
switch. Remove foot from accelerator. Speed
should accelerate to previous set speed.
11.Depress main control switch in control system
should immediately disengage and erase
previously set speed from ECU memory.

Electrical Trouble Shooting Manual.
