Description an
d Operation

The AJ26 power unit is available in 3.2 L and 4.0 L versions, and comprises:
An eight cylinder 9
0 degree 'V' config
uration liquid cooled aluminium cylinder block incorporating 'Nikasil' plated
cylinder bores.
Pi
stons of open-ended skirt design, with
two compression and one oil control ring.
Two al
uminium cylinder heads, each
incorporating two camshafts.
F
our valves per cylinder.
Al

uminium valve lifters and top mounted shims.
Vari

able valve timing (VVT) of the inlet camshafts (4.0 L normally aspirated only).
Camshaft

covers manufactured from Vinylester.
Al

uminium timing cover which accommodat
es the crankshaft front oil seal.
Sin
gle row primary and secondary chains dr
ive the camshafts of each cylinder bank.
An alu
minium bed pl
ate, incorporating iron main bearing supports, which accomm odate the oil pump pick-up,

diverter val
ve (if fitted) and oil filter.
Main
bearings
which are grooved in the upper positions and plain in
the lower positions. They are manufactured from
aluminium / tin material.
A c
rankshaft with under
cuts and rolled fillets for extra strength.
Fracture
-split connecting rods in sintered-forged steel.
Brackets
bolted to the front of
the cylinder
block are used to mo unt all accessories.
A sin
gle, seven ribbed vee belt
drives the accessories.
An au
tomatic belt tensioner for the front accessory drive,
incorporating a wear indicator.
An advanced en
gine management system inco
rporating electronic throttle control.
The un
it meets the requirements of the CARB OBDII USA legislation.
Ancillary Systems
The an
ci
llary systems, driven by the engine, each have a
detailed Description and Operation along with Diagnostic
Procedures, and Removal and Installation instructions ; refer to the following sections of this manual:
Power Steeri
ng Pump - Section 211-02
Ai
r Conditioning Compressor - Sectio
n 412-03
Engine
C
ooling Pump - Section 303-03
Generator
- Sectio
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.

Speed an
d load
Coo
l
ant temperature
Ti
me el
apsed from start up
Cl
osed l
oop fuelling
Determination of the vapour concentration is made by stepped opening of the EVAP valve and subsequent monitoring of the
fuelling correction. This function is performed prior to purging, so that at the onse t of purging the EVAP valve can be set to
the optimum position. Should the ECM be unable to determine the concentration before purging, a default value is
employed, which is then modified whilst purging is in progress.
When the purging process is operational th e ECM modifies the basic fuelling calculation to maintain the correct air / fuel
ratio.
Purging is inhibited during fuel cut-off and stability / traction control intervention.
Coolant Temperature Sen
sor
Th
e
sensor outputs a voltage to the ECM which decreases as temperature increases.
Cooling Fans


In response to engi
ne coolant temperat
u
re and climate control system demand, the ECM will energize the cooling fans.
Climate Control Compressor
The E
C
M will allow the compressor clutch to be engaged if th
e engine temperature and load demand are normal. Should the
driver require maximum engine powe r or the coolant temperature be high, the request will be denied.
Cranking Signal

The ECM reacts to a signal fr
om th
e Body Processor Module (BPM) when the starter motor relay is energi
zed. This signal is
used to trigger starting, fu el and ignition strategies.
Engine Speed and Cranksh
aft Position
Engine
speed and cran
k position are moni
tored by a sensor which is mounted on the cylinder block (flywheel housing)
behind the crankshaft drive plat e. It indicates rotational speed to the ECM in the form of 12 pulses per crank revolution.
Engine speed is used for synchronization of fuel an d ignition systems, as well as other functions.
Camshaft Position
The ca
mshaft position sensor is mounted at
the rear of Bank 2 cylinder head on the inlet side and provides one signal every
720 degrees of crankshaft rotation. The signal, in conjunction with the signal from the crankshaft position sensor, indicates
to the ECM that the piston of cylinder 1A is approaching TDC on the compression stroke.
Variable Valve
Timing (Where Fitted)
By energi
si
ng a solenoid to allow the pass
age of pressurized oil on each of the inle t camshaft drives, the ECM can vary by a
single stepped amount, the relati ve timing of the inlet valves.
Ign
ition
Ignit
i
on spark is produced by
individual on-plug coil units.
There are two ignition amplifiers; module #1 drives coils 1A, 2B, 3B and 4A, whilst module #2 drives coils 1B, 2A, 3A and
4B. The ECM controls the amplifiers.
