Leak Detection Pump (NAS vehicles with positive pressure EVAP system leakage test only)
1Harness connector
2Leak detection pump motor
3Atmosphere connection to/from EVAP canister4Atmosphere connection to/from air filter
5Leak detection pump solenoid valve
The fuel evaporation leak detection pump is mounted forward of the EVAP canister on a bracket fitted beneath the
vehicle on the RH side of the vehicle chassis. The leak detection pump is fixed to the bracket by three screws through
the bottom of the bracket.
A short hose connects between the atmosphere vent port of the EVAP canister and a port at the rear of the fuel
evaporation leak detection pump. The hose is secured to the ports at each end by crimped metal band clips.
An elbowed quick fit connector on the top of the fuel evaporation leak detection pump connects to atmosphere via a
large bore pipe. The pipe is routed along the underside of the vehicle chassis and up into the RH side of the engine
compartment where it connects to an air filter canister.
The leak detection pump incorporates a 3–pin electrical connector. Pin-1 is the earth switched supply to the ECM for
control of the pump solenoid valve. Pin-2 is the earth switched supply to the ECM for the operation of the pump motor.
Pin-3 is the power supply to the pump motor and solenoid valve and is switched on at system start up via the main
relay and fuse 2 in the engine compartment fusebox.
Under normal circumstances (i.e. when the leak detection pump is not operating and the solenoid is not energised),
the EVAP canister vent port is connected to atmosphere via the open solenoid valve.
The pump is operated at the end of a drive cycle when the vehicle is stationary and the ignition is switched off.
The leak detection pump module contains an integral air by-pass circuit with restrictor (reference-leak orifice) which
is used for providing a reference value for the leak detection test. The restrictor corresponds to an air leak equivalent
to 0.5 mm (0.02 in) diameter. With the solenoid valve open and the purge valve closed, the pump forces pressurised
air through the orifice while the current drawn by the leak detection pump motor is monitored to obtain the reference
value. The orifice must be kept free from contamination, otherwise the reference restriction may appear less than for
a 0.5 mm leak and consequently adversely affect the diagnostic results.

17-2-28 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The air delivery pipe is a flexible plastic type, and is connected to the air pump outlet via a plastic quick-fit connector.
The other end of the flexible plastic pipe connects to the fixed metal pipework via a short rubber hose. The part of the
flexible plastic pipe which is most vulnerable to engine generated heat is protected by heat reflective sleeving. The
metal delivery pipe has a fabricated T-piece included where the pressurised air is split for delivery to each exhaust
manifold via the SAI control valves.
The pipes from the T-piece to each of the SAI control valves are approximately the same length, so that the pressure
and mass of the air delivered to each bank will be equal. The ends of the pipes are connected to the inlet port of each
SAI control valve through short rubber hose connections.
The T-piece is mounted at the rear of the engine (by the ignition coils) and features a welded mounting bracket which
is fixed to the engine by two studs and nuts.
The foam filter in the air intake of the SAI pump provides noise reduction and protects the pump from damage due to
particulate contamination. In addition, the pump is fitted on rubber mountings to help prevent noise which is generated
by pump operation from being transmitted through the vehicle body into the passenger compartment.
If the secondary air injection (SAI) pump is found to be malfunctioning, the following fault codes may be stored in the
ECM diagnostic memory, which can be retrieved using Testbook/T4:
NOTE: Refer to 'SAI System Fault Finding' and 'Checking Malfunctions on SAI System' at the end of this section to
determine root cause of fault codes.
NOTE: The electrical test of the SAI pump powerstage only indicates that there is a problem with the relay or the
power supply to the relay. It does not indicate the state of the SAI pump itself (i.e. broken or not connected).
As a result of a SAI pump powerstage malfunction, other fault codes may also become stored in the ECM memory.
These may include the following P codes.
NOTE: A malfunction of the SAI pump powerstage is logically expected to result in both engine banks reporting the
same fault.
NOTE: Refer to 'SAI System Fault Finding' and 'Checking Malfunctions on SAI System' at the end of this section to
determine root cause of fault codes.
Secondary Air Injection (SAI) Pump Relay
The secondary air injection pump relay is located in the engine compartment fusebox. The engine control module
(ECM) is used to control the operation of the SAI pump via the SAI pump relay. Power to the coil of the relay is supplied
from the vehicle battery via the main relay and the ground connection to the coil is via the ECM.
Power to the SAI pump relay contacts is via fusible link FL2 which is located in the engine compartment fusebox.

valves
5Purge valve clip
6Mounting bracket
The SAI vacuum solenoid valve is located at the rear LH side of the engine and is electrically operated under the
control of the ECM. The SAI vacuum solenoid valve is mounted on a bracket together with the EVAP system purge
valve.
Vacuum to the SAI vacuum solenoid valve is provided from the intake manifold depression via a vacuum reservoir. A
small bore vacuum hose with rubber elbow connections at each end provides the vacuum route between the vacuum
reservoir and SAI vacuum solenoid valve. A further small bore vacuum hose with a larger size elbow connector is
used to connect the SAI vacuum solenoid valve to the SAI control valves on each side of the engine via an
intermediate connection. The SAI vacuum solenoid valve port to the SAI control valves is located at a right angle to
the port to the vacuum reservoir.
The intermediate connection in the vacuum supply line is used to split the vacuum equally between the two SAI control
valves. The vacuum hose intermediate connection is located midpoint in front of the inlet manifold. All vacuum hose
lines are protected by flexible plastic sleeving.
Electrical connection to the SAI vacuum solenoid valve is via a 2–pin connector. A 12V electrical power supply to the
SAI vacuum solenoid valve is provided via the Main relay and Fuse 2 in the engine compartment fusebox. The ground
connection is via the ECM which controls the SAI vacuum solenoid valve operation. Note that the harness
connector to the SAI solenoid valve is grey, and must not be confused with the harness connector to the
EVAP system purge valve which is black.
The ECM switches on the SAI vacuum solenoid valve at the same time as initiating SAI pump operation. When the
SAI vacuum solenoid valve is open, a steady vacuum supply is allowed through to open the two vacuum operated
SAI control valves. When the ECM breaks the earth path to the SAI vacuum solenoid valve, the valve closes and
immediately shuts off the vacuum supply to the two SAI control valves at the same time as the SAI pump operation
is terminated.

EMISSION CONTROL - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 17-2-43
Secondary Air Injection System
Operation
When the engine is started, the engine control module checks the engine coolant temperature and if it is below 55°
C, the ECM grounds the electrical connection to the coil of the secondary air injection (SAI) pump relay.
A 12V battery supply is fed to the inertia switch via fuse 13 in the engine compartment fusebox. When the inertia
switch contacts are closed, the feed passes through the switch and is connected to the coil of the Main relay. An earth
connection from the Main relay coil is connected to the ECM. When the ECM completes the earth path, the coil
energises and closes the contacts of the Main relay.
The Main and Secondary Air Injection (SAI) pump relays are located in the engine compartment fusebox. When the
contacts of the Main relay are closed, a 12V battery supply is fed to the coil of the SAI pump relay. An earth connection
from the coil of the SAI pump relay is connected to the ECM. When the ECM completes the earth path, the coil
energises and closes the contacts of the SAI pump relay to supply 12V to the SAI pump via fusible link 2 in the engine
compartment fusebox. The SAI pump starts to operate, and will continue to do so until the ECM switches off the earth
connection to the coil of the SAI pump relay.
The SAI pump remains operational for a period determined by the ECM and depends on the starting temperature of
the engine, or for a maximum operation period determined by the ECM if the target engine coolant temperature has
not been reached in the usual time.
When the contacts of the main relay are closed, a 12V battery supply is fed to the SAI solenoid valve via Fuse 2 in
the engine compartment fusebox.
The ECM grounds the electrical connection to the SAI vacuum solenoid valve at the same time as it switches on the
SAI pump motor. When the SAI vacuum solenoid valve is energised, a vacuum is provided to the operation control
ports on both of the vacuum operated SAI control valves at the exhaust manifolds. The control vacuum is sourced
from the intake manifold depression and routed to the SAI control valves via a vacuum reservoir and the SAI vacuum
solenoid valve.
The vacuum reservoir is included in the vacuum supply circuit to prevent vacuum fluctuations caused by changes in
the intake manifold depression affecting the operation of the SAI control valves.
When a vacuum is applied to the control ports of the SAI control valves, the valves open to allow pressurised air from
the SAI pump to pass through to the exhaust ports in the cylinder heads for combustion.
When the ECM has determined that the SAI pump has operated for the desired duration, it switches off the earth paths
to the SAI pump relay and the SAI vacuum solenoid valve. With the SAI vacuum solenoid valve de-energised, the
valve closes, cutting off the vacuum supply to the SAI control valves. The SAI control valves close immediately and
completely to prevent any further pressurised air from the SAI pump entering the exhaust manifolds.
The engine coolant temperature sensor incurs a time lag in respect of detecting a change in temperature and the SAI
pump automatically enters a 'soak period' between operations to prevent the SAI pump overheating. The ECM also
compares the switch off and start up temperatures, to determine whether it is necessary to operate the SAI pump.
This prevents the pump running repeatedly and overheating on repeat starts.
Other factors which may prevent or stop SAI pump operation include the prevailing engine speed / load conditions.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 17-2-45
Flow Test (P Codes P1414 and P1417)
When the Leak test has been passed successfully, the SAI control valves are then opened while the SAI pump is still
operational. Flow should now begin to enter the exhaust system. By monitoring the HO2S sensor voltage output, the
ECM determines if sufficient flow is being introduced into the exhaust system. Depending on which bank of the engine
detects the fault, one or both P codes can be stored.
Fault Finding Methodology
Malfunctions can be broadly categorised into two different categories: Flow Faults or Leak Faults.
Additionally, they also differ depending if the corresponding P code exists for both cylinder banks simultaneously or
is unique to one bank, for example:
Faults of each of the four basic types should be investigated in a different priority order, starting with the most logically
plausible cause or component.
Fault Finding Flow Charts
The following flow charts show the order of investigation that should be performed depending on the type of fault
present. These should be treated as guidelines to ensure that the most likely and plausible causes are addressed first.
However, the flow charts assume that no clear or obvious reason for failure exists. If the cause of the malfunction is
immediately obvious, then the flow charts should not be followed.
Once a malfunction is identified, it should be rectified as necessary and the system checked as per the instructions
in the following 'Checking Malfunctions' section.
NOTE: It is not necessary to follow the remainder of the flow chart once a potential root cause has been identified.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-17
Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor (C0176)
The CMP sensor is located on the front of the engine, above and behind the crankshaft pulley. The CMP sensor is a
Hall effect sensor producing four pulses for every two crankshaft revolutions. The sensor is positioned close to the
camshaft gear wheel, the gear wheel has four slots machined at 90° intervals. This allows the ECM to recognise 4
individual cylinders every camshaft revolution or all 8 cylinders every crankshaft revolution.
The CMP sensor Hall effect works as a magnetic switch. It switches battery voltage on or off depending on the position
of the camshaft gear wheel in relationship to the sensor.
The ECM uses this signal for cylinder recognition to control sequential fuel injection, engine knock and diagnostic
purposes.
Input/Output
Electrical input to the camshaft position sensor is from fuse 2 located in engine compartment fuse box. One output is
sensor earth, the other is the signal output to the ECM via pin 20 of connector C0636.
The CMP sensor can fail the following ways or supply incorrect signal:
lSensor open circuit.
lShort circuit to vehicle battery supply.
lShort circuit to vehicle earth.
lIncorrect fitting of the sensor.
lExcessive camshaft gear wheel tolerance.
lExcessive camshaft endfloat.
lCamshaft and crankshaft misalignment.
lSpeed signal correlation with CKP sensor signal.
lCam wheel magnetised / residual magnetism
In the event of a CMP sensor signal failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lIgnition timing reverts to default values from ECM memory.
lLoss of cylinder correction.
lLoss of active knock control.
lLoss of active knock control diagnostics.
lLoss of cylinder identification for misfire diagnostics.
lLoss of quick synchronisation of crankshaft and camshaft for cranking/ start up.
lFuel injection could be 360° out of phase.
lFront HO
2S sensor ageing period diagnostic disabled (NAS only)
Should a malfunction of the component occur the following fault code may be evident and can be retrieved by
TestBook:
The fault condition has to be detected for more than 100 cam pulses (25 revolutions) when the engine speed is greater
than 500 rev/min.

Should a malfunction occur, the following fault codes may be evident and can be retrieved by TestBook:
Mass Air Flow (MAF)/ Inlet Air Temperature (IAT) sensor (C0149)
The MAF/ IAT sensors are combined into a single unit and located between the air filter housing and the inlet manifold.
The ECM receives input signals from the MAF/ IAT sensor to calculate the mass of air flowing into the engine inlet
manifold.
Input/Output
The MAF sensor has both electrical input and output. Input to the MAF sensor comes from two different sources.
Battery voltage is supplied to the MAF sensor via fuse 2 of the engine compartment fuse box. The MAF sensor also
utilises a 5 volt reference input via pin 7 of connector C0636 of the ECM. The MAF sensor output voltage is measured
via pin 23 of connector C0636 of the ECM.
The IAT sensor has only electrical output. Output from the IAT sensor is measured at pin 34 of connector C0636 of
the ECM, this is a variable voltage/ resistance measured by the sensor to provide air temperature information to the
ECM.
The MAF/ IAT sensor share the same sensor earth. Sensor earth is via pin 9 of connector C0636 of the ECM.
The MAF/ IAT sensor and its connector has silver plated terminals for its low current signals to protect against
corrosion. DO NOT apply 12V to the 5V supply, as this will destroy the internal circuitry. The MAF/IAT sensor should
not be dropped or roughly handled and should be kept free from contamination.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-30 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Heated Oxygen Sensors (HO2S) (C0642)
The market requirement dictates how many HO
2S are fitted to the vehicle.
l4 sensors are fitted to all NAS and EU-3 vehicles.
l2 sensors fitted to all UK, European, Australia and Japanese pre EU-3 specification vehicles.
lNo sensors fitted to ROW vehicles.
The HO
2S monitor the oxygen content of the exhaust gases. By positioning the sensors one for each bank upstream
of the catalytic converter in the exhaust pipe, the ECM can control fuelling on each bank independently of the other.
This allows greater control of the air:fuel ratio and maintains optimum catalyst efficiency. On NAS vehicles the ECM
also uses two HO
2S positioned downstream of the catalytic converters in the exhaust pipe to monitor catalytic
converter efficiency. The ECM is able to achieve this by comparing the values of the upstream HO
2S and the down
stream sensor for the same bank. These comparative values form part of the ECM OBD strategy.
The HO
2S uses zirconium contained in a galvanic cell surrounded by a gas permeable ceramic, this produces an
output voltage proportional to the ratio difference between the oxygen in the exhaust gases and to the ambient
oxygen.
The HO
2S operates at approximately 350 °C (662 °F). To achieve this temperature the HO2S incorporate a heating
element which is controlled by a PWM signal from the ECM. The elements are activated immediately after engine
starts and also under low engine load conditions when the exhaust gas temperature is insufficient to maintain the
required HO
2S temperature. If the heater fails, the ECM will not allow closed loop fuelling to be implemented until the
sensor has achieved the required temperature.
This value equates to an HO
2S output of 450 to 500 mV. A richer mixture can be shown as λ = 0.97, this pushes the
HO
2S output voltage towards 1000 mV. A leaner mixture can be shown as λ = 1.10, this pushes the HO2S output
voltage towards 100 mV.
From cold start, the ECM runs an open loop fuelling strategy. The ECM keeps this strategy in place until the HO
2S is
at a working temperature of 350 °C (662 °F). At this point the ECM starts to receive HO
2S information and it can then
switch into closed loop fuelling as part of its adaptive strategy. The maximum working temperature of the tip of the
HO
2S is 930 °C (1706 °F), temperatures above this will damage the sensor.
HO
2S age with use, this increases their response time to switch from rich to lean and from lean to rich. This can lead
to increased exhaust emissions over a period of time. The switching time of the upstream sensors are monitored by
the ECM. If a pre-determined threshold is exceeded, a failure is detected and the MIL illuminated.

Input/Output
The upstream and downstream HO
2S are colour coded to prevent incorrect fitting. The tips of the upstream sensors
are physically different to the tips of the downstream sensors.
The HO
2S are colour coded as follows:
lUpstream sensors (both banks) - orange.
lDownstream sensors (both banks) - grey.
The four HO
2S have a direct battery supply to the heater via fuse 2 located in the engine compartment fuse box.
