5. 5. Redundancy
6. 6. Full authority
7. 7. Engine shut-down
Normal mode occurs when the EC M uses the mechanical and monitoring arrangem ent of the throttle valve to control throttle
opening. The ECM does not permit driver demand to be exceeded but it can be restricted to allow for such features as
stability / traction control, or engine power limitation.
The ECM determines engine idle speed by controlling the throttle valve motor to vary the blade angle between the non-
adjustable preset limits of the mechanic al guard and the throttle valve motor.
Cruise mode is engaged as a result of the ECM calculating and controlling the required throttle valve opening via the
vacuum system. When the driver releases the throttle pedal, the input shaft disengages from the mechanical guard or the
vacuum actuator pulls the guard away from th e throttle valve. The throttle pedal will feel light should it be pushed again to
accelerate (pressing the pedal further will re-engage the input shaft with the mechanical guard and restore normal feel).
The ECM utilizes sensors to monitor the relative positions of the mechanical guard and throttle valve and adjusts them to
maintain the set cruise speed.
Mechanical guard mode permits full mechanical operation of the throttle if the ECM detects that a problem has been
encountered with the throttle valve position sensor, dc motor, associated harnesses / connecto rs or the ECM.
Fixed idle mode occurs when any two of the three sensors (two input shaft sensors and the mechanical guard sensor) fail.
The ECM will assume values which represent a blade angl e of approximately 2,5° and 1200 rpm (unloaded) maximum
engine speed.
Redundancy mode occurs when any one of the three sensors (two input shaft sensors and the mechanical guard sensor)
fails. The operational pair will be deemed to be safe to co ntinue without intervention, but cruise will be inhibited.
Full authority mode is invoked when a mech anical guard failure occurs which indicates that the guard is stuck fully open.
The red warning lamp will be lit and road speed will be li mited to 120 kph.
Engine shut-down mode will occur followin g multiple failures, such as mechanical guard mode following full authority mode
(or vice versa) or the throttle blade sticks.
Intake Elbow
The intake elbow directs the metered airflow from the electronic throttle to the intake manifold. Stub pipes on both sides of
The E
VAP canister purge valve controls th
e flow rate of fuel vapour drawn into the engine during the canister purge
operation. The valve is opened by a vacu um feed from the induction elbow : the vacu um feed is controlled by the integral
valve solenoid and is applied when the so lenoid is energised. The solenoid is pulsed on (energised) and off by a fixed
frequency (100Hz) variable pulse width control signal (pulse width modulation). By varying the pulse on to off time, the
ECM controls the duty cycle of the valve (time that the valve is open to time closed) and thus the vapour flow rate to the
engine.
With no ECM signal applied to the va lve solenoid, the valve remains closed.
Can
ister Purge Operation
The
following pre-conditions are ne
cessary for purging to commence :
aft
er battery disconnection/reconnection, engine
management adaptations must be re-instated.
engine has run for
at least 8 seconds.
engi
ne coolant temperature is not less than 70 °C.
engine
not running in the fuel
cut off condition (eg overrun).
t
he adaptive fuel correction
function has not registered a rich or lean failure
t
he evaporative emission leak test has not failed
no faults have been diagnosted in th
e rel
evant sensor and valve circuits -
Air Flow Meter (AFM), Engine Coolant
Temperature sensor, Evaporativ e Canister Purge valve and Canister Close Valve (CCV).
If these conditions have been satisfied, purging is started. If any failures are registered, purging is inhibited.
The canister(s) is purged during each driv e cycle at various rates in accordance with the prevailing engine conditions. The
engine management software st ores a map of engine speed (RPM) against engine load (grams of air inducted / rev). For
any given engine speed and load, a vapour purge rate is assigned (purge rate increases with engine speed and load).
The preset purge rates are base d on the assumption of a vapour concentratio n of 100%. The actual amount of vapour is
measured by the closed loop fueling system : the input of evaporative fuel into the engine causes the outputs from the
upstream oxygen sensors to change, the am ount of change providing a measure of the vapour concentration. This feedback
causes the original purge rate to be adju sted and also reduces the amount of fuel input via the injectors to maintain the
correct air to fuel ratio.
Engine speed/load mapping and the corresp onding purge rates are different for single canister, running loss and ORVR
evaporative systems.

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.
