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.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-40 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Ignition coils
Two double ended ignition coils are located at the rear of the engine, below the inlet plenum camber mounted on a
bracket. The ignition system operates on the wasted spark principle. When the ECM triggers an ignition coil to spark,
current from the coil travels to one spark plug jumping the gap at the spark plug electrodes igniting the mixture in the
cylinder. Current continues to travel along the earth path (via the cylinder head) to the spark plug negative electrode
at the cylinder that is on the exhaust stroke. The current jumps across the spark plug electrodes and back to the coil
completing the circuit. Since it has sparked simultaneously in a cylinder that is on the exhaust stroke it has not done
any work, therefore it is wasted.
The coils are paired in the following cylinder order:
l1 and 6.
l8 and 5.
l4 and 7.
l3 and 2.
The ECM calculates the dwell timing from battery voltage, and engine speed to ensure constant secondary energy.
This ensures sufficient spark energy is always available without excessive primary current flow and thus avoiding
overheating or damage to the coils. Individual cylinder spark timing is calculated from the following signals:
lEngine speed.
lEngine load.
lEngine temperature.
lKnock control.
lAutomatic gearbox shift control.
lIdle speed control.
During engine warm up ignition timing should be an expected value of 12° BTDC.
TestBook can not directly carry out diagnostics on the high-tension side of the ignition system. Ignition related faults
are monitored indirectly by the misfire detection system.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-43
The ECM performs the following diagnostic checks to confirm correct knock sensor operation:
lKS signal level is less than the minimum threshold (dependent on engine speed) – the engine must be running,
coolant temperature above 60°C (140°F), number of camshaft revolutions since start greater than 50 and the KS
signal profile must be less than the threshold value at a given engine speed for a fault condition to be flagged
lKS signal is greater than the maximum threshold (dependent on engine speed) – the engine must be running,
coolant temperature above 60°C (140°F), number of camshaft revolutions since start greater than 50 and the KS
signal profile must be greater than the threshold value at a given engine speed for a fault condition to be flagged
lError counter for verification of knock internal circuitry exceeded – the engine must be running, coolant
temperature above 60°C (140°F), number of camshaft revolutions since start greater than 50 and the error
counter greater than the threshold value at a given engine speed for a fault condition to be flagged
Should a malfunction of the component occur the following fault codes may be evident and can be retrieved by
TestBook:
Spark plugs
The spark plugs are platinum tipped on both centre and earth electrodes. The platinum tips give a long maintenance
free life.
Cleaning or resetting the spark plug gap is not recommended as this could result in damaging the platinum tips and
thereby reducing reliability.
The misfire detection system will malfunction and store erroneous codes if the incorrect spark plugs are used.
Input/Output
The ignition coils provide a voltage to the spark plugs via the ht leads. The cylinder head via the individual thread of
each spark plug provides the earth path.
The spark plugs can fail in the following ways:
lFaulty component.
lConnector or wiring fault.
lBreakdown of high tension lead causing tracking to chassis earth.
lIncorrect spark plugs fitted.
In the event of a spark plug failure, misfire on specific cylinder may be observed:

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-48 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Cooling fan relay
The cooling fan relay is located in the engine compartment fuse box. It is a four pin normally open relay. The relay
must be energised to drive the cooling fan.
The cooling fan is used to cool both the condenser in which the ATC refrigerant is held and the radiator. This fan is
used especially when the engine is operating at excessively high temperatures. It is also used as a part of the ECM
backup strategy if the ECT fails.
Input/Output
The ECM provides the earth for the relay coils to allow the relay contacts to close and the cooling fan motor to receive
battery voltage. The ECM uses a transistor as a switch to generate an open circuit in the earth path of the relay
windings. When the ECM opens the earth path, the return spring in the relay will pull the contacts apart to shut down
the cooling fan motor drive.
Input to the cooling fan relay switching contacts is via fuse 5 located in the engine compartment fuse box. The relay
coils are supplied with battery voltage from the main relay, also located in the engine compartment fuse box. The earth
path for the relay coils is via pin 31 of the ECM connector C0636. When the relay is energised the output from the
switching contacts is directly to the cooling fan motor.
The cooling fan relay can fail in the following ways:
lRelay open circuit.
lShort circuit to vehicle battery supply.
lShort circuit to vehicle earth.
lBroken return spring.
In the event of a cooling fan relay failure, the cooling fan does not work.
