HYDRAULIC VEHICLE RAMP (FOUR POST)
Use only a 'drive on' type ramp which supports vehicle
by its own road wheels. If a 'wheel-free' condition is
required, use a 'drive on' ramp incorporating a
'wheel-free' system that supports under axle casings.
Alternatively, place vehicle on a firm, flat floor and
support on axle stands.
TWO POST VEHICLE RAMPS
The manufacturer of LAND ROVER VEHICLES
DOES NOT recommend using 'Two Post' ramps
that employ four adjustable support arms. These
are NOT considered safe for Land Rover vehicles.
If vehicle is installed on a Two Post ramp
responsibility for safety of vehicle and personnel
performing service operations is in the hands of
the Service Provider.DYNAMOMETER TESTING - NON ANTI-LOCK
BRAKE VEHICLES
Viscous coupling
The front and rear axles cannot be driven
independently due to the viscous coupling. This
eliminates the need for differential lock by
progressively locking the centre differential
automatically if slip occurs at any wheel.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to drive
individual wheels with vehicle supported
on floor jacks or stands.
Four wheel dynamometers
Provided that front and rear dynamometer rollers are
rotating at identical speeds and that normal workshop
safety standards are applied, there is no speed
restriction during testing except any that may apply to
the tyres.
Two wheel dynamometers
IMPORTANT: Use a four wheel dynamometer for
brake testing if possible.
If brake testing on a single axle rig is necessary it
must be carried out with propeller shaft to rear axle
removed, AND neutral selected in BOTH main
gearbox and transfer gearbox. When checking brakes,
run engine at idle speed to maintain servo vacuum.
If checking engine performance, the transfer box must
be in high range and propeller shaft to stationary axle
must be removed.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OPERATION
Diesel engines operate by compression ignition. The
rapid compression of air in the cylinder during the
compression cycle heats the injected fuel, causing it
to self ignite. During cold starting, automatically
controlled glow plugs assist in raising the temperature
of the compressed air to ignition point.
A cold start advance unit advances the injection timing
to further assist starting. Idle quality is improved by
the high idle setting.
The engine is supplied with pre-compressed air by a
single stage turbocharger.
Exhaust gases passing over a turbine cause it to
rotate, driving a compressor mounted on the turbine
shaft. Air drawn from the cold air intake passes, via
the air cleaner, to the turbocharger where it is
compressed. The compressed air passes to the
cylinders via an intercooler, which reduces the
temperature of the compressed air, increasing its
density.
Fuel is drawn from the tank by a mechanical lift pump
and passes to the injection pump via a filter. In
addition to removing particle contamination from the
fuel, the filter incorporates a water separator, which
removes and stores both bound and unbound water.
The injection pump meters a precisely timed, exact
quantity of fuel to the injectors in response to throttle
variations, injection timing varying with engine speed.
Any excess fuel delivered to the injection pump is not
injected, passing back to the tank via the fuel return
line.
Fuel is injected in a finely atomised form into a
pre-combustion chamber in the cylinder head where it
ignites. The burning fuel expands rapidly into the main
combustion chamber, creating extreme turbulence
which mixes the burning fuel thoroughly with the
compressed air, providing complete combustion.
Cold Starting is assisted by glow plugs, a cold start
advance unit and a high idle setting.Glow plugs
Glow plug operation is controlled by a timer unit, start
relay and resistor. When the ignition is turned on the
timer unit is energised, the glow plugs start to operate
and a warning light on the dashboard illuminates,
remaining illuminated until the glow plugs are
automatically switched off.
The length of time the glow plugs will operate is
dependent on under bonnet temperature, which is
monitored by a sensor located in the timer unit.
Starting the engine results in the power supply to the
glow plugs passing through the resistor, which
reduces their operating temperature. The glow plugs
are cut out either by the temperature sensor in the
timer, or by a microswitch on the injection pump which
operates when the throttle is depressed.
Cold start advance
The cold start advance unit is connected to the engine
cooling system via hoses. It contains a temperature
sensitive element which is retracted when cold and
pulls the advance lever, via cable, towards the rear of
the pump against spring pressure. As coolant
temperature rises, the cold start element expands
releasing tension on the cable and allowing spring
pressure to move the advance lever forwards.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OPERATION EDC
Under start up conditions, signals from the crank
speed and water temperature sensors are relayed to
the ECM to control starting fuel quantity and injection
timing. Once the engine has started the ECM initiates
a 'closed loop' monitoring system for fuel quantity,
injector timing and EGR relative to the appropriate
engine operating conditions.
As driver demand increases, signals from the throttle
position sensor are received by the ECM together with
crank speed and position pulses. The ECM signals
the injection pump to adjust fuel quantity and timing
relative to driver demand.
As engine coolant, fuel and air temperature changes
the ECM will correct fuel delivery and injection timing
for more efficient and accurate running. The ECM will
also make corrections for atmospheric pressure on
injection timing and EGR.
Electronic Control Unit (ECM)
The EDC system is controlled by the ECM located in
the drivers footwell on the 'A' post beneath the fascia.
The unit consists of a microprocessor with integrated
circuits and components and is connected to the main
harness by a 55 pin plug.
Inputs to the ECM from engine sensors control start of
injection, injected fuel quantity, fuel cut-off and EGR.
The ECM will also make corrections for engine
coolant, fuel and air temperature and atmospheric
pressure.Injection pump
The injection pump incorporates actuator controlled
injected fuel quantity and solenoid operated timing
which operate in response to ECM signals against
driver demand, engine speed, temperature and boost
pressure.
A fuel cut-off facility and fuel temperature sensor is
incorporated in the pump.
Injection timing sensor
An inductive sensor in No 4 injector body monitors
needle movement. This forms part of a 'closed loop'
system to control start of injection.
The system measures timing, relating the needle
movement signal to crank position (determined by
flywheel pulses from the engine speed sensor).
Air flow sensor
The Air Flow Sensor is mounted on a bracket
attached to the wheel arch valance, and connected by
hose to the air cleaner and turbo charger inlet.
The unit consists of a flap valve airflow sensor which
measures the fresh air flow into the engine. The
sensor informs the ECM and, provided that the other
conditions are met, will implement EGR.
Engine speed sensor
The engine speed sensor is an active inductive sensor
mounted on the flywheel housing. Pulses from the
sensor activated by radial slots in the flywheel give
engine speed and position information to the ECM.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Vehicle speed sensor
The vehicle speed sensor is located on the transfer
box behind the transmission brake. The unit has a
multirole as the vehicle electronic speedometer
sensor and as a sensor for 'surge damping', (a
function which smooths out engine response to sharp
accelerator movement and reduces vehicle 'bucking').
The sensor is an additional input for engine overheat
protection.
Brake and clutch switches
The brake and clutch switches are located on the
pedal box and serve as safety features to the system.
They return information to the ECM which limits
maximum fuel quantity under braking.
Throttle position sensor
The accelerator pedal is connected directly to a
sensor mounted in the pedal box. Driver demand is
relayed back to the ECM to increase or decrease
injected fuel quantity.
Incorporated in the sensor is a backup idle switch
which the system will default to in the event of sensor
failure.
Boost pressure sensor
The boost pressure sensor is mounted on the
bulkhead. It relays boost pressure information to the
ECM which compensates fuel quantity to reduce
smoke during acceleration.
Electro-pneumatic modulator
The electro-pneumatic modulator is located on the
inner wing just forward of the air cleaner. It regulates
vacuum signals from the source to the EGR valve.
The ECM controls the modulator to open the EGR
valve according to required airflow.Exhaust gas recirculation valve
The EGR valve is located on the engine exhaust
manifold and is controlled by vacuum from the
electro-pneumatic modulator.
Once open the EGR valve directs a quantity of
exhaust gas back into the inlet manifold to be burnt
inside the engine. This reduces NOx (Oxides of
nitrogen) emissions of the engine.
Temperature sensors
Water, Fuel and Air temperature sensors monitor
engine conditions and relay their information back to
the ECM which makes adjustments to injected fuel
quantity, injection timing, EGR and corrections to
measured boost pressure and airflow.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION DESCRIPTION
Hot Wire Multiport Fuel Injection
The 'Hot Wire' Multiport fuel injection system derives
its name from the mass air flow sensor which uses
one cold wire and one electrically heated wire to
measure the volume of air entering the engine.
The function of the system is to supply the exact
amount of fuel directly into the intake manifold
according to the prevailing engine operating
conditions.
To monitor these conditions, various sensors are fitted
to the engine to measure engine parameters. Data
from the sensors is received by the Engine control
module (ECM), the ECM will then determine the exact
amount of fuel required at any condition.
The ECM having received data from the sensors
produces pulses, the length of which will determine
the simultaneous open time of each bank of injectors
in turn, which will govern the amount of fuel injected.
Engine control module - ECM
The Multiport fuel injection system is controlled by the
14 CUX Engine Control Module comprising of a
microprocessor with integrated circuits and
components mounted on printed circuit boards. The
ECM is connected to the main harness by a 40 pin
plug.
Injectors
The eight fuel injectors are fitted between the
pressurized fuel rail and inlet manifold. Each injector
comprises a solenoid operated needle valve with a
movable plunger rigidly attached to the nozzle valve.
When the solenoid is energized the plunger is
attracted off its seat and allows pressurized fuel into
the intake manifold.Engine coolant temperature sensor
The engine coolant temperature sensor is located in
the front of the thermostat housing. The sensor
provides engine coolant information to the ECM. The
ECM increases the injector opening time when cold to
provide improved driveability, and reduces the
opening time as the engine reaches normal operating
temperature.
Engine fuel temperature sensor
The engine fuel temperature sensor is located in the
rail on the RH side of the ram housing. The sensor
sends fuel temperature data to the ECM, the ECM on
receiving the data will adjust the injector open time
accordingly to produce good hot starting in high
ambient temperatures.
Idle air control valve
The idle air control valve is screwed into a housing
attached to the rear of the plenum chamber, between
the plenum chamber and bulkhead. The idle air
control valve has two windings which enable the
motor to be energised in both directions thus opening
or closing the air valve as required by the ECM.
The idle air control valve will open and allow extra air
into the plenum chamber to maintain engine idle
speed when the engine is under increased (Electrical
and Mechanical) loads.
The idle air control valve will control engine idle speed
when the vehicle is stationary.
Heated oxygen sensors (0
2sensors) - Catalyst
vehicles
The two heated oxygen sensors are located forward
of the catalysts mounted in the exhaust downpipes.
The sensors monitor the oxygen content of the
exhaust gases and provide feedback information of
the air/fuel ratio to the ECM. Each sensor is heated by
an electrical element to improve its response time
when the ignition is switched on.
