lamp and ticking operate at twice the normal rate.
Sidelam
ps and Headlamps
Thes
e are controlled by rotating the end of the column switch as follows.
In the OFF position:
All
exterior lamps are switched OFF.
In the sidelamp position:
The front
sidelamps, tail, license plate and any other la
mps required by local legislation are switched ON.
The
sidelamps tell-tale lamp illuminates.
In the headlamp position, with the ignition switch in position II:
The h
eadlamps are switched ON in addition to the lamps switched on in the sidelamp position.
If the ignition is switched to the OFF position with the column switch in the headlamp position, the sidelamps, tail and
license plate lamps will stay ON, but the headlamps will switch OFF.
In the AUTO position (where fitted), with the ignition switch in position II:
Th
e sensor mounted on the back of the interior rear view
mirror monitors exterior light levels and automatically
switches the sidelamps and di pped headlamps ON and OFF.
The sensitivity level can be adjusted by turn ing the sensor control knob on the back of the interior mirror, left to decrease or
right to increase. The sensor must not be covered and the windscreen must be kept clean.

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:

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.

E
nsure that all threaded holes in the cylinder block face are clean and
free from oil.
Cl
ean and inspect the cylinder head bolts. They may be re-used on two
occasions. When re- used, each bolt head should be marked with one
dot from an automatic centre punch.
39. Clean and inspect all relevant components and mating faces.

CAUTIONS:
If a replacement cylinder head is to be installed to a vehicle with VCT
the cylinder head must have the oil gallery blind rivet removed before
installation.
Make sure that all debris is removed from the cylinder head and cylinder
head oil gallery.
Vehicles fitted with VCT: Remove the blind rivet from the VCT oil gallary.
• NOTE: The centre bore of the blind rivet is 6 mm diameter.
I

Should the oil level subsequently be topped-up, the level could
become too high, causing oil burning.

ystem (pressure).
Outputs from the ECM control the radiator fans control module, located behind the left hand side of the bumper, to operate
the fans in the series mode (slow), paralle l mode (Fast) or Off modes. Hysteresis in the temperature and pressure switching
values prevents 'hun ting' between modes.
Under hot operating conditions, the fans may continue to operat e for some time after the engine has been switched off, but
will stop automatically when the coolant te mperature has been sufficiently reduced.
Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (ECT) and ECM

The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is located in the coolant outlet pipe and reacts to engine coolant temperature
changes, providing an input to the Engine Control Module (ECM). The sensor has a negative te mperature coefficient so that
the sensor resistance decrea ses as temperature rises.
