Introduction
D.303.1201
AJ-V6 ENGINEThe AJ-V6 is a water cooled six cylinder engine
configured as two banks of cylinders in a 60û V
formation. Valve operation is via chain driven
double overhead camshafts on each cylinder
bank. The engine is naturally aspirated but with a
unique air intake system which significantly
improves power output. Lightweight materials are
used extensively but the structural design is such
as to maintain a strong rigid assembly.The main features of the power unit are:
¥ three stage variable geometry intake manifold
¥ electronic throttle with cable-less operation
¥ two position variable valve timing
¥ returnless fuel system
¥ fail safe cooling system

APP Sensor
303-050
APP SENSORAccelerator Pedal Position (APP)
Sensor
The APP sensor is driven directly by the pedal
pivot shaft and is connected via the wiring
harness to the powertrain control module (PCM).
The sensor is a single assembly comprising three
rotary, carbon track potentiometers with
contacting wipers. Each potentiometer has a
discrete 5V reference/return supplied from the
PCM and provides an independent analogue
output voltage to the PCM. As described for the
TP sensor, the characteristics of the three
potentiometers (angle/output voltage) differ so as
to provide unique identification to the PCM. Note
that while the TP and APP sensor characteristics,
as shown, have a general similarity, actual values
of voltage, slope and angular range for each type
of sensor is different.
Further system redundancy is provided by the use
of two pedal return springs.
Control and Operation
Drive Motor Control
The PCM does not drive the throttle motor
directly but sends duplicated control signals to the
TAC module indicating the desired throttle plate
angle. Both signals are pulse width modulated
(PWM) at 256Hz with an increase in duty cycle
indicating a corresponding (linear) increase in
desired throttle angle (ie towards full throttle).
Separate interface circuits within the PCM and
TAC module provide additional signal redundancy.
In response to PCM demand, the TAC module
processes the demand signals and generates the
current drive to the dual winding motor. An
inductive position encoder on the motor shaft
generates feedback signals to the TAC module,
providing closed loop motor control and enabling
the TAC module to maintain the desired angle.
Actual throttle plate angle is measured by the TP
sensor.
The TAC module has two separate feeds from the
vehicle 12V and ground supply, each feed (12V
and ground) being a twisted pair to reduce noise
pick up.
The TAC module also performs self diagnostic
checks:
¥ the two PWM control signals are compared
for validity
¥ the ability of the TAC module to set the
requested throttle angle is monitored¥ operation of the motor drive circuit is
checked
¥ a failed throttle return spring can be detected
¥ failure of one or both motor windings can be
detected
¥ the output of the inductive position encoder
is checked for out of range signals or failure
Diagnostic information from the TAC module is
communicated to the PCM over the twisted pair
SCP link.

28¥ Limp home mode in which a high idle speed
is set, with no accelerator pedal response, to
allow the vehicle to creep: the RED warning
light and FAIL SAFE ENGINE MODE message
are activated: this mode is set by, eg the loss
of two or more sensors.
¥ Engine shutdown due to serious throttle
malfunction.

THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM
System Monitoring
Within the PCM, operation of the overall throttle
control system (main processor logic and
software) is itself monitored by a separate,
independent microprocessor, the electronic
throttle monitor. Communication is maintained
between the two processors but if it is lost or if
faults are detected by the monitor (eg throttle
angle greater than demanded), the monitor
processor may call for a restricted operating mode
such as cruise cancellation or a forced idle
condition or engine shutdown.
Failure Modes
There are four failure modes:
¥ Loss of redundancy eg a failure of one sensor
output: this type of fault causes the AMBER
warning light to illuminate and FAIL SAFE
ENGINE MODE to be displayed on the
message centre (the engine remains fully
functional).
¥ Cruise inhibit.

Fuel System
Returnless Fuel System
The returnless fuel system is a one way system
which delivers fuel to the engine without the
requirement for fuel to be returned to the tank.
When a return line is used, the effects of fuel
pressurisation, de-pressurisation and engine heat
on the returning fuel causes extra vapour to be
generated in the tank. With increasing regulatory
controls on evaporative emissions, this is an
undesirable condition and elimination of a fuel
return line provides significant benefits.
The in-tank fuel pump supplies fuel and regulates
pressure to the injectors under control of the PCM
and the rear electronic module (REM) and a
pressure regulator is not therefore required on the
engine fuel rail. To provide feedback for closed
loop control, an injector pressure (IP) sensor on
the fuel rail detects the pressure differentialbetween the fuel and the intake manifold and the
engine fuel temperature (EFT) sensor monitors
fuel temperature. Analogue signals from both
sensors are sent to the PCM to indicate the
pressure of the fuel and to detect whether it has
reached the vapourisation point. In response to
the sensor inputs and driver or load demands, the
PCM requests the pump system to vary the fuel
flow; in particular, fuel pressure will always be
increased to avoid vapour formation and to
maintain flow through the injectors.
Fuel pump control is further described in the
ÔS-TYPE IntroductionÕ Technical Guide.
Fuel Rail and Lower Intake Manifold
The fuel injectors are seated in two lower intake
manifolds, made of a lightweight plastic
composite material, which are fitted between the

66With a conventional clutch, increased lining wear
causes the angle of the actuating diaphragm
spring to change as the pressure plate moves
axially towards the engine, requiring a greater
force to operate the clutch (diaphragm actuating
force varies with diaphragm angle). The self
adjusting clutch eliminates the problem by
allowing the diaphragm spring to follow the axial
movement of the pressure plate thus maintaining
the diaphragm spring at the same angle
throughout the life of the clutch. As well as
maintaining a constant pedal pressure, the clamp
force on the pressure plate also remains constant
with wear.
The operation is shown in the diagram. The
diaphragm spring is not fixed at its rotation point
like the conventional system but pivots between a
sensor spring and an adjuster ring. The sensor
spring provides a counter force which is just
sufficient to retain the diaphragm spring axially
against the cover via the adjuster ring and during
normal actuation of the clutch. As the linings
wear, the tendency of the diaphragm angle to
change causes an increase in the actuation force
required to operate the clutch. When this
increased effort exceeds the counter force of the
sensor spring, the diaphragm spring moves axially
towards the pressure plate until the original angle
is restored. At this point the actuation force
required drops to the level of the opposing sensor
spring force, restoring equilibrium with the
diaphragm spring at its new location.
During the axial movement of the diaphragm
spring, the increased distance between the spring
and cover is taken up by the adjuster ring. This
ring has fifteen raised segments, each having a
ramp profile which fits into a corresponding
shape in the clutch cover. When the diaphragm
spring moves axially for wear compensation,
three pre-loaded coil springs in the clutch cover
cause the adjuster ring to rotate, moving up the
ramps and taking up the extra distance between
the diaphragm spring and clutch cover.
Note that, in operation, the adjuster ring rotates
in a clockwise direction, as viewed from the
transmission. If a worn driven plate is replaced in
service and the clutch cover assembly is to be re-
used, the adjuster ring must be rotated back to its
pre-loaded position (see JTIS service instructions).
