Th
e engine management system provides optimum control of
the engine under all operating conditions using several
strategically placed sensors and any necessary actuators. Electronic engine control consists of:
engine
control module
throttle posi
tion sensor

cam
shaft position sensor
c
rankshaft position sensor
mass air
flow sensor
intake air temper
ature sensor

Electronic Engine Control
Engine
Control Module (ECM)
The ECM incorporates a comprehensive monitoring and diagnostic capability including software variations to ensure system
compliance with the latest diagnostic and emissions legislation in different markets. The engine control module controls the
coil on plug ignition system, electronic fuel system, cr uise control and the electronic throttle control system.
The ECM responds to input signals received from sensors relating to engine operatin g conditions and provides output signals
to the appropriate actuators. These outp ut signals are based on the evaluated input signals which are compared with
calibrated data tables or maps held within th e ECM before the output signal is generated.
The ECM needs the following inputs to calibrate the engine properly:

respect to temperature) and is constantly monitored by the ECM

sen
ds the ECM a signal indicating the temperature of the air entering the engine
is a t
emperature dependent resistor which has a negative
temperature coefficient (its resistance changes inversely
with respect to ambient temperature).
Knock S
ensor (KS)
is a pi
ezo-electric device which sends a signal
to the ECM indicating engine detonation
Between 700 and 6800 rpm, the ECM will retard individual cylinder ignition timing when detonation occurs while allowing
the other cylinders to continue operating normally.
During acceleration, at critical load and speed conditions, the ECM retards ignition timing to prevent the onset of detonation.

N: When probing connectors to take
measurements in the course of the pinpoint tests, use the adaptor kit,
part number 3548-1358-00.
• NOTE: When performing electrical voltag e or resistance tests, always use a digital multimeter (DMM) accurate to 3
decimal places, and with an up-t o-date calibration certificate. When testing resistance, always take the resistance of the
DMM leads into account.
• NOTE: Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic ro utines involving pinpoint tests.
