Type B - EU3 Models - Engine Serial No. Prefixes 15P to 19P
1.Fuel connector block assembly
2.Outlet stub pipe
3.Stub pipe - to fuel cooler4.Fuel temperature sensor
5.Fuel pressure regulator
6.Spill return fuel connection (EU3 models only)
A cast and machined aluminium alloy fuel connector block assembly is located at the rear RH side of the cylinder
head, attached by three flanged bolts. A metal gasket is used to seal the faces between the fuel connector block
and the cylinder head, which must be replaced every time the fuel connector block is removed.
CAUTION: The cylinder head incorporates drillings for the fuel injection system, any
contamination which enters these drillings could cause engine running problems or injector
failure. It is therefore, essential that absolute cleanliness is maintained when carrying out work on
the cylinder head.
CAUTION: The valve heads, tips of the injectors and glow plugs protrude below the face of the
cylinder head and will be damaged if the cylinder head is stored face down.
Camshaft carrier
The cast aluminium alloy camshaft carrier is bolted to the cylinder head by thirteen screws. The camshaft carrier
and cylinder head assembly is attached to the cylinder block by twelve cylinder head retaining bolts which pass
through the camshaft carrier and the cylinder head to secure the assembly to the cylinder block.
The carrier is machined together with the cylinder head to form a matched pair for carrying the camshaft.
Non-return valve
A non-return valve is located at the front, bottom LH side of the cylinder head. The non-return valve prevents oil
from draining from the lash adjusters and is an integral component within the cylinder head and is
non-serviceable.

9.Remove camshaft.
10.Remove and discard camshaft rear oil seal.
11.Remove finger followers and lash adjusters.
CAUTION: Store lash adjusters and finger
followers in their fitted order and store
lash adjusters upright. Maintain absolute
cleanliness when handling components.
12.Remove and discard 5 bolts securing EUI
retainers.
13.Using toolLRT-12-154/1remove EUI units from
cylinder head and collect retainers. Remove
reaction posts and keep in their fitted order.
14.Using toolLRT-12-154/4, remove and discard
sealing washer and’O’ring from each EUI unit.
15.Support cylinder head clear of valves, use a
hollow drift and tap each valve spring cap to free
collets.
16.Using toolLRT-12-034, compress valve spring.
17.Remove 2 collets from valve stem using a stick
magnet.
18.Remove toolLRT-12-034.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION DESCRIPTION
General
An engine control module (ECM) controls the five cylinder direct injection diesel engine, and works on the drive by
wire principal. This means there is no throttle cable, the ECM controls the drivers needs via a signal from the
Throttle Position (TP) sensor on the throttle pedal.
The ECM is a full authoritative diesel specific microprocessor that also incorporates features for air conditioning. In
addition, the ECM supplies output control for the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and turbocharger boost
pressure. The ECM has a self diagnostic function, which is able to provide backup strategies for most sensor
failures.
The ECM processes information from the following input sources:
Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor.
Ambient Air Pressure (AAP) sensor.
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) / Inlet Air Temperature (IAT) sensor.
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor.
Crankshaft Speed and Position (CKP) sensor.
Throttle Position (TP) sensor.
Fuel Temperature (FT) sensor.
Air conditioning request.
Air conditioning fan request.
Brake pedal switch.
Clutch pedal switch.
The input from the sensors constantly updates the ECM with the current operating condition of the engine. Once
the ECM has compared current information with stored information within its memory, it can make any adjustment
it requires to the operation of the engine via the following:
Air conditioning clutch relay.
Air conditioning cooling fan relay.
Electronic vacuum regulator solenoid.
Fuel pump relay.
Glow plug warning lamp.
Glow plugs.
Fuel injectors.
Main relay.
Turbocharger wastegate modulator.
Temperature gauge.
The ECM interfaces with the following:
Serial communication link.
Instrument pack.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION SENSOR - MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE
(MAP) / INLET AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT)
The MAP/IAT sensors are combined in one unit located in the inlet manifold. It provides pressure and temperature
information about the air in the inlet manifold to the ECM. The ECM compares the voltage signal to stored values
and compensates fuel delivery as necessary. The ECM uses the signal from the MAP/IAT sensor for the following
functions:
To calculate the delivered fuel limits.
To calculate the air mass in the cylinder.
To calculate the air speed density.
To calculate the air temperature.
The MAP sensor works on the piezo crystal principal. Piezo crystals are pressure sensitive and will oscillate in
accordance to changes in air pressure. The MAP sensor produces a voltage between 0 and 5 volts proportional to
the pressure level of the air in the inlet manifold. A reading of 0 volts indicates a low pressure, a reading of 5 volts
a high pressure.
The IAT portion of the sensor works as a Negative Temperature Co-efficient (NTC) sensor. As air temperature
rises, the resistance in the sensor decreases. As temperature decreases the resistance in the sensor increases.
The ECM compares the voltage signal to stored values and compensates fuel delivery as necessary.
Inputs / Outputs
The MAP/IAT sensor (C0567-3) is provided a 5 volt supply by the ECM (C0158-8) on a pink/purple wire. The
MAP/IAT sensor provides the ECM with 2 outputs. The MAP sensor output (C0567-4) is connected to the ECM
(C0158-6) by a white/yellow wire. The IAT sensor output (C0567-2) is connected to the ECM (C0158-34) on a
green/black wire. The MAP/IAT sensor is earthed (C0567-1) via the ECM (C0158-17) on a pink/black wire.
