Date of
Manufacture
T
h
e date of manufacture (Build Date) of a vehicle is define
d as the calendar month and year in which the bodyshell and
powertrain are combined and the completed vehicle leaves the production line. For certain markets, VIN labels carry the
month and year of manufacture. For other markets, the vehicle Build Date is also displayed on a metal plate located at the
top of the battery tray in the trunk.
ANTI-T
HEFT LABELS
F
or
some markets, anti-theft labels bearing the VIN printed on
a special anti-forgery background are positioned on certain
body components. An additional anti-theft label is positioned on the LH side of the engine/automatic transmission casing.
Anti-theft labels must not be removed from a vehicle unless necessitated by component renewal.

The an

Procedures, and Removal and Installation instructions ; refer to the following sections of this manual:

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

Throttle blade angle Camshaft position

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.

Should the oil level subsequently be topped-up, the level could
become too high, causing oil burning.
Typically, 0.875L is hung up.
Refill the engine with the correct specification engine oil.
