Ancillary Systems
The an

detailed Description and Operation along with Diagnostic
Procedures, and Removal and Installation instructions ; refer to the following sections of this manual:
Power Steeri

Ai
r Conditioning Compressor - Sectio
n 412-03
Engine
C
ooling Pump - Section 303-03
Generator

n 414-02
The drive belt, idler pulley and automatic tensioner are described in Section 303-05.
The engine starting system is described in Section 303-06.
En
gine Management and Emission Control System
Engine Control Modu
le (ECM)
Engine
management and exhaust emissions are controlled by the ECM, which has the
following main functions:
Fu
el injection
Idle
s
peed
Ignition Ev

aporative loss system
Engine
cooling fans Clim
ate control compressor clutch demand
The microprocessor within the ECM receiv es signals from various sensors and other modules and uses a pre-determined
program to compute engine management functions.
Adaptive functions are incorporated in the ECM to cater for co ntinuous adjustments to its computations to suit prevailing
conditions. Because the system also controls emissions to suit all modes, neither CO levels nor idle speed require service
attention or adjustment, except if an error should occur.
On Board Diagnostics are controlled by the ECM with the continuous monitoring of incoming signals and the subsequent
verification against what the module expects to 'see'. Should a si gnal be incorrect or missing, the ECM will substitute a fixed
value to provide the 'limp home mode' and alert the driver of the problem. Fixed values may be adopted for:
Transmission oil
temperature
Mechanica
l
guar
d position
Throttle blade angle Camshaft position

Inta
k
e air temperature
Diagnostic trouble codes (DTC), including OBD II codes, are stored in the ECM memo ry and can be read by an appropriate
retrieval tool.
Should either the ECM or TCM fa il, ensure that the control housing cooling fan is operating correctly. Failure of the cooling
fan MUST be rectified before renewing a control module and details of a fa n failure should accompany a returned control
module.

1. Open the engine compartment and fit paintwork protection
sheets. Open to the service position.
2. Carefully remove both engine covers, taking care not to
damage the plasti c fixings or the rubber inserts.

3. Disc
onnect the batt
ery ground cable.
Re
move the battery cover.
4. Remove the cam cover from the 'A' bank and the 'B' bank;
including the purge valve, the on-plug ignition coils and the air
intake tube / air flow meter / air cleaner cover assembly. Refer
to Operations 12.29.43 and 12.29.44.
5. Check, and note the valve cleara nces, as described earlier in
this section.
6. Use a rag to wipe up as much oil as possible from the tappet
wells.
7. Valve adjustment involves considerable repetition. A SUMMARY
OF THE PROCEDURE follows:
1. Fit the adjusting tool base plate to one cylinder head.
2. Rotate the crankshaft to position four valves ready for
adjustment.
3. Use the attachment part of the special tool to adjust two valve clearances. Transfer the attachment and
adjust the other two valve clearances.
4. Remove the attachment pa rt from the adjusting tool
base plate.

5.
Repeat steps 2 to 4 three
more times until all sixteen
valves on the first cylinder head have been adjusted.
6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 for the other cylinder head.
7. Remove all equipment and reassemble the engine.
8. The following instructions describe the PROCEDURE FOR
ADJUSTING THE VALVE CLEARANCES.

9. F
it the base plate of the tappet
adjusting tool 303 - 540 to one
of the heads; use the bolts which are supplied with the tool.
It
should be fitted along the head, between the two
camshafts, and bolted to the tapped holes which normally
secure the cam cover.
10. Rotate the crankshaft so that there are four valves which are
'off the cam'(cam lobes uppermos t), so that their clearance
may be measured.

11
.
CAUTION: Do not rotate the crankshaft while the
attachment is fitted to the base plate.
Fit the attachment of 303 - 540 to the base plate. 1. Set the fingers of the attachment to the highest position (unscrew the knurled bolts).
2. Fit the attachment to the base plate, adjacent to the first two valves to be adjusted.
3. Tighten the screws to secure the attachment to the base plate.

12
.
Position the fingers on to the outer edges of the tappet. It is
essential that the recessed step on each finger, locates on the
edge of the tappet as indicated. The use of a mirror will help,
as viewing access is restricted.

13
.
Tighten the knurled bolts to compress the valve springs, until
a firm resistan ce is felt.

14
. WARNING: TH
E FOLLOWING OPERATIONS REQUIRE
THE USE OF COMPRESSED AIR - ALWAYS WEAR SUITABLE EYE
PROTECTION.
Remove, clean and measure the shims.
1. Surround the immediate wo rking area with clean rag
to contain any loose objects and shims displaced by
the compressed air.
2. Use 303 - 590 Air Gun (with a fan nozzle) aimed at the edge of the shim to lift it from the tappet.
Remove the shim from each tappet, noting the
position of each.
15 . Cl
ean and measure the thickness of each shim.
16. Assess the increase or decrease required in shim thickness to
produce the correct valve clearance.
17. Select two shims of the correct size, lubricate each and fit
each to the respective tappet (as calculated in the previous
step). Shims must be fitted with the size marking facing the
tappet NOT the cam.

18 . Loos
en the knurled screws on 303 - 540 attachment to allow
the valve springs to return to their normal position.
19. Check the valve clearance of the two valves. If the clearance
is correct, remove the attachment from the base plate. transfer
the attachment to the other two valves which are in position to
be adjusted.
20. Repeat the adjustment procedure, as described in the
Summary.
21. Refit the cam covers and associated components. Refer to
Operations 12.29.43 and 12.29.44.
22. Refit the engine covers.
23. Check the engine oil level; rectify as necessary.
24. Move the engine compartment cover from the service position
and connect the gas struts.
25. Remove the paint protection sheets and close the cover.
26. Connect the battery and fit the battery cover.

r to the Battery Reconnection Procedure 86.15.15.

2. Set the engine compartment cover to the service access
position.
3. Remove the drive belt from the fro nt accessory drive. Refer to
Operation 12.10.40.
4. Remove the twin fan and motor assembly for access. Refer to
Operation 26.25.12
5. CAUTION: Under no circumstan ces should the crankshaft
setting peg 303-531 be used in the following operations, to lock
the crankshaft.
• NOTE: Should extra locking of the crankshaft be required, use a
lever against one torque converte r boss. Remove the plastic mesh
cover from the torque converter housing for access.

Instal
l the crankshaft locking tool to the damper.
1. Install adaptor 303-191-02 to the main locking tool 303-191.
2. Reposition the cranks haft/damper to align the
mounting holes and install the locking tool to the
damper using the bolts provided with the tool.
3. Loosen, but do not remove the damper securing bolt
from the crankshaft.
6. Remove the locking tool from the damper.
Remove
the damper securing bolt.

7. NOTE : Th
e damper only needs to be withdrawn along the
crankshaft nose by approximat ely 2mm before removing the
puller. The damper will then either be loose or only require a
sharp tap with a mallet to release it from the split locking ring.
Remove the damper from the crankshaft.
1. Transfer the adaptor 303 -191-02 from the crankshaft
locking tool to the damper extractor tool 303-588
(Use the socket head screws provided with the
puller).
2. Locate the thrust button into the end of the crankshaft; the O-ring holds it in place.
Ass
emble the puller to the damper.
Ex
trac
t the damper from the crankshaft.
8. Remove the puller components from the damper.
Re
move the thrust button from the end of the crankshaft.

9. Re
move the split locking ring from the damper.
10. Remove the internal O-ring seal.
