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 RELAY - FUEL PUMP
The fuel pump relay is located in the engine compartment fuse box. It switches on the fuel pump to draw fuel from
the tank to the electronic unit injectors (EUI).
Input / Output
The fuel pump relay is a 4 pin normally open relay. The fuel pump relay (C0730-4) is provided with a feed by the
main relay (C0063-78) via header 291 on a brown/orange wire. An earth path is provided for the fuel pump relay
(C0730-6) via the ECM (C658-5) on a blue/purple wire. This energises the fuel pump relay and allows a feed to be
provided to the fuel pump. When the ECM interrupts the earth, the relay is de-energised and the fuel pump stops
operating.
The fuel pump relay can fail in one or more of the following ways:
Relay open circuit.
Short circuit to vehicle supply.
Short circuit to vehicle earth.
Broken relay return spring.
In the event of a fuel pump relay failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
Engine will crank but not start.
If the engine is running, it will stop.
RELAY - MAIN
The main relay is located in the engine compartment fuse box and supplies battery voltage to the following:
The ECM.
The MAF sensor.
Fuel pump relay.
Input / Output
The main relay is a 4 pin normally open relay, which must be energised to provide a voltage to the ECM. The main
relay (C0063-86) is provided with an earth path via a transistor within the ECM (C0658-21) on a blue/red wire.
When the earth path is completed, the relay is energised and supplies the ECM (C0658-3, C0658-22 & C0658-27)
with a feed on brown/orange wires via header 291.
The main relay can fail in the following ways:
Relay open circuit.
Short circuit to vehicle supply.
Short circuit to vehicle earth.
Broken relay return spring.
In the event of a main relay failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
Engine will crank but not start.
If the engine is running, it will stop.
For the ECM start up to take place the ignition feed when the switch is in position’II’must be greater than 6.0
volts.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION MODULATOR - EXHAUST GAS REGULATOR (EGR)
The EGR modulator is located on the RH side inner front wing. It regulates the vacuum source to the EGR valve
allowing it to open or close. The ECM utilises the EGR modulator to control the amount of exhaust gas being
recirculated in order to reduce exhaust emissions and combustion noise. Optimum EGR is usually obtained when
the vehicle is operating at light throttle openings, and the vehicle is cruising at approximately 2000 to 3000
rev/min.
Input / Output
The EGR modulator (C0191-1) receives a feed from the main relay (C0063-87) on a brown/orange wire via header
294. The earth path for the modulator (C0191-2) is controlled by the ECM (C0158-3) on a blue wire. The length of
time the ECM supplies an earth is how long the exhaust gases are allowed to recirculate. The ECM decides how
long to supply the earth by looking at engine temperature and engine load.
The EGR modulator can fail in one or more of the following ways:
Solenoid open circuit.
Short circuit to vehicle supply.
Short circuit to earth.
In the event of an EGR modulator failure, the EGR system will become inoperative.
WARNING LAMP - GLOW PLUG
The glow plug warning lamp is located in the instrument pack. It illuminates to alert the driver that the glow plugs
are being heated prior to the engine being started. The length of time that the lamp illuminates and the glow plugs
are operating prior to cranking is the pre-heat period. The length of time of this period is determined by the ECT
sensor signal, controlled by the ECM.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION GLOW PLUGS
The 4 glow plugs are located in the engine block on the inlet side, in cylinders 1 to 4. Cylinder 5 has no glow plug.
The glow plugs are a vital part of the engine starting strategy. The purpose of the glow plugs are:
Assist cold engine start.
Reduce exhaust emissions at low engine load/speed.
The main part of the glow plug is a tubular heating element that protrudes into the combustion chamber of the
engine.The heating element contains a spiral filament that is encased in magnesium oxide powder. At the tip of
the tubular heating element is the heater coil. Behind the heater coil and connected in series is a control coil. The
control coil regulates the heater coil to ensure that it does not overheat and cause a possible failure. The glow
plug circuit has its own control relay, located underneath the RH front seat.
Pre-heat is the length of time the glow plugs operate prior to engine cranking. The ECM controls the pre-heat time
of the glow plugs based on battery voltage and coolant temperature information via the glow plug relay.
Post-heat is the length of time the glow plugs operate after the engine starts. The ECM controls the post-heat time
based upon ECT information. If the ECT fails the ECM will operate pre-post heat time strategies with default
values from its memory. In this case, the engine will be difficult to start.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Input / Output
The glow plugs receive a feed from the glow plug relay (C0215-3) on a yellow/black then individual black wires.
The ECM provides the earth path for the glow plug relay (C0151-6), working in tandem with the Alarm ECU. The
supply voltage heats the coils to approximately 1000°C (1832°F). The glow plug circuit is wired in parallel, the
body of each glow plug is screwed directly into the engine block which provides each glow plug with an earth path.
The glow plugs can fail in one or more of the following ways:
Heater coil open circuit.
Control coil open circuit.
Poor earth quality.
Short circuit to vehicle supply.
Short circuit to vehicle earth.
Harness fault.
Relay windings open circuit.
Incorrect relay fitted.
In the event of a glow plug failure, any of the following symptoms may be observed:
Difficult starting.
Excessive smoke emissions after engine start.
