EMISSION CONTROL - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 17-2-35
Exhaust Emission Control Operation
The oxygen content of the exhaust gas is monitored by heated oxygen sensors using either a four sensor (NAS only)
or two sensor setup, dependent on market destination and legislative requirements. Signals from the heated oxygen
sensors are input to the engine management ECM which correspond to the level of oxygen detected in the exhaust
gas. From ECM analysis of the data, necessary changes to the air:fuel mixture and ignition timing can be made to
bring the emission levels back within acceptable limits under all operating conditions.
Changes to the air:fuel ratio are needed when the engine is operating under particular conditions such as cold starting,
idle, cruise, full throttle or altitude. In order to maintain an optimum air:fuel ratio for differing conditions, the engine
management control system uses sensors to determine data which enable it to select the ideal ratio by increasing or
decreasing the air to fuel ratio. Improved fuel economy can be arranged by increasing the quantity of air to fuel to
create a lean mixture during part-throttle conditions, however lean running conditions are not employed on closed loop
systems where the maximum is λ = 1. Improved performance can be established by supplying a higher proportion of
fuel to create a rich mixture during idle and full-throttle operation. Rich running at wide open throttle (WOT) for
performance and at high load conditions helps to keep the exhaust temperature down to protect the catalyst and
exhaust valves.
The voltage of the heated oxygen sensors at λ = 1 is between 450 and 500 mV. The voltage decreases to 100 to 500
mV if there is an increase in oxygen content (λ > 1) indicating a lean mixture. The voltage increases to 500 to 1000
mV if there is a decrease in oxygen content (λ < 1), signifying a rich mixture.
The heated oxygen sensor needs to operate at high temperatures in order to function correctly (≥ 350° C). To achieve
this the sensors are fitted with heater elements which are controlled by a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal from
the engine management ECM. The heater element warms the sensor's ceramic layer from the inside so that the
sensor is hot enough for operation. The heater elements are supplied with current immediately following engine start
and are ready for closed loop control within about 20 to 30 seconds (longer at cold ambient temperatures less than
0°C (32°F)). Heating is also necessary during low load conditions when the temperature of the exhaust gases is
insufficient to maintain the required sensor temperatures. The maximum tip temperature is 930° C.
A non-functioning heater element will delay the sensor's readiness for closed loop control and influences emissions.
A diagnostic routine is utilised to measure both sensor heater current and the heater supply voltage so its resistance
can be calculated. The function is active once per drive cycle, as long as the heater has been switched on for a pre-
defined period and the current has stabilised. The PWM duty cycle is carefully controlled to prevent thermal shock to
cold sensors.
The heated oxygen sensors age with mileage, causing an increase in the response time to switch from rich to lean
and lean to rich. This increase in response time influences the closed loop control and leads to progressively
increased emissions. The response time of the pre-catalytic converter sensors are monitored by measuring the period
of rich to lean and lean to rich switching. The ECM monitors the switching time, and if the threshold period is exceeded
(200 milliseconds), the fault will be detected and stored in the ECM as a fault code (the MIL light will be illuminated
on NAS vehicles). NAS vehicle engine calibration uses downstream sensors to compensate for aged upstream
sensors, thereby maintaining low emissions.
Diagnosis of electrical faults is continuously monitored for both the pre-catalytic converter sensors and the post-
catalytic converter sensors (NAS only). This is achieved by checking the signal against maximum and minimum
threshold for open and short circuit conditions. For NAS vehicles, should the pre- and post-catalytic converters be
inadvertently transposed, the lambda signals will go to maximum but opposite extremes and the system will
automatically revert to open loop fuelling. The additional sensors for NAS vehicles provide mandatory monitoring of
the catalyst conversion efficiency and long term fuelling adaptations.
Note that some markets do not legislate for closed loop fuelling control and in this instance no heated oxygen
sensors will be fitted to the exhaust system.

EMISSION CONTROL - V8
17-2-42 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
If the piping is broken forward of the purge valve or is not connected, the engine may run rough and fuelling adaptions
will drift. The fault will not be detected by the leak detection diagnostic, but it will be determined by the engine
management ECM through the fuelling adaption diagnostics.
The evaluation of leakage is dependent on the differential pressure between the fuel tank and ambient atmospheric
pressure, the diagnostic is disabled above altitudes of 9500 ft. (2800 m) to avoid false detection of fuel leaks due to
the change in atmospheric pressure at altitude.
Fuel Leak Detection System Operation (positive pressure leak detection type) – NAS only
The EVAP system with positive pressure leak detection capability used on NAS vehicles is similar to the standard
system, but also includes a fuel evaporation leak detection pump with integral solenoid valve. It is capable of detecting
holes in the EVAP system down to 0.5 mm (0.02 in.). The test is carried out at the end of a drive cycle, when the
vehicle is stationary and the ignition switch has been turned off. The ECM maintains an earth supply to the Main relay
to hold it on, so that power can be supplied to the leak detection pump.
First a reference measurement is established by passing the pressurised air through a by-pass circuit containing a
fixed sized restriction. The restriction assimilates a 0.5 mm (0.02 in) hole and the current drawn by the pump motor
during this procedure is recorded for comparison against the value to be obtained in the system test. The purge valve
is held closed, and the reversing valve in the leak detection pump module is not energised while the leak detection
pump is switched on. The pressurised air from the leak detection pump is forced through an orifice while the current
drawn by the pump motor is monitored.
Next the EVAP system diagnostic is performed; the solenoid valve is energised so that it closes off the EVAP system's
vent line to atmosphere, and opens a path for the pressurised air from the leak detection pump to be applied to the
closed EVAP system.
The current drawn by the leak detection pump is monitored and checked against that obtained during the reference
measurement. If the current is less than the reference value, this infers there is a hole in the EVAP system greater
than 0.5 mm (0.02 in) which is allowing the positive air pressure to leak out. If the current drawn by the pump motor
is greater than the value obtained during the reference check, the system is sealed and free from leaks. If an EVAP
system leak is detected, the ECM stores the fault in diagnostic memory and the MIL light on the instrument pack is
illuminated.
On NAS vehicles, the ECM works on a 2 trip cycle before illuminating the MIL. On EU-3 vehicles, the ECM works on
a 3 trip cycle before illuminating the MIL.
Following the test, the solenoid valve is opened to normalise the EVAP system pressure and the system returns to
normal purge operation at the start of the next drive cycle. Possible reasons for an EVAP system leak test failure are
listed below:
lFuel filler not tightened or cap missing.
lSensor or actuator open circuit.
lShort circuit to vehicle supply or ground.
lEither purge or solenoid valve stuck open.
lEither purge or solenoid valve stuck shut.
lBlocked pipe or air filter.
lPiping broken or not connected.
lLoose or leaking connection.
If the piping is broken forward of the purge valve or is not connected, the engine may run rough and fuelling adaptions
will drift. The fault will not be detected by the leak detection test, but will be determined by the engine management
ECM through the fuelling adaption diagnostics. This test can be run from TestBook/T4.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-6 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description - engine management
General
The V8 engine is equipped with the Bosch Motronic M5.2.1 engine management system. This system is a sequential
multiport fuel injection system controlled by an Engine Control Module (ECM).
A single ECM is used for the control of the existing 4.0 litre engine and the new 4.6 litre engine introduced with 03
model year vehicles for the NAS market only. The ECM contains the tunes for both engines variants. When the ECM
is replaced, TestBook/T4 must be used to select the correct tune to match the engine fitment.
The ECM has On Board Diagnostic (OBD) strategies as required by various market legislative bodies. To meet these
requirements the system monitors and reports on any faults that cause excessive exhaust emissions.
In markets that mandate OBD, the ECM monitors performance of the engine for misfires, catalyst efficiency, exhaust
leaks and evaporative control loss. If a fault occurs, the ECM stores the relevant fault code and warns the driver of
component failure by illuminating the Malfunction Indicator Light in the instrument pack.
In markets where OBD is not mandatory, the ECM will still monitor performance of the engine and store the fault code,
but will not illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Light.
The ECM uses input and output information from its sensors and actuators to control the following engine conditions:
lFuel quantity.
lClosed loop fuelling.
lOpen loop fuelling.
lIgnition timing.
lKnock control.
lIdle speed control.
lEmission control.
lOn-Board Diagnostic (OBD) where applicable.
lVehicle immobilisation.
lMisfire detection (where applicable).
lVehicle speed signal.
lRough road signal (where applicable).
lLow fuel level signal (where applicable).
lCoolant temperature gauge signal.
The ECM processes sensor information from the following input sources:
lIgnition switch (position II).
lCrankshaft speed and position sensor.
lCamshaft position sensor.
lEngine coolant temperature sensor.
lMass air flow sensor.
lIntake air temperature sensor.
lKnock sensor.
lThrottle position sensor.
lHeated oxygen sensors.
lHigh/ Low ratio switch.
lFuel tank pressure sensor (where fitted)
lThermostat monitoring sensor (where fitted)

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-8 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Engine Control Module (ECM)
The engine control module (ECM) is located on the RH side A post below the face panel inside the vehicle. It has a
cast aluminium case and is mounted on a bracket. The ECM has 5 independent connectors totalling 134 pins.
The ECM is available in 4 variants:
lNAS.
lNAS low emission vehicles.
lUK/ Europe/ Japan/ Australia.
lROW/ Gulf.
The ECM uses a 'flash' electronic erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM). This enables the ECM to
be externally configured, to ensure that the ECM can be updated with any new information, this also allows the ECM
to be configured with market specific data. TestBook must be used to configure replacement ECM's. The ECM can
be reprogrammed, using TestBook/T4, with new engine tunes up to 16 times to meet changing specifications and
legislation. The current engine tune data can be accessed and read using TestBook/T4.
The ECM memorises the positions of the crankshaft and the camshaft when the engine has stopped via the CKP and
CMP sensors. This allows immediate sequential fuel injection and ignition timing during cranking. This information is
lost if battery voltage is too low (i.e. flat battery). So the facility will be disabled for the first engine start.
Input/Output
The ECM has various sensors fitted to the engine to allow it to monitor engine condition. The ECM processes these
signals and decides what actions to carry out to maintain optimum engine operation by comparing the information
from these signals to mapped data within its memory.
Connector 1 (C0634): This connector contains 9 pins and is used primarily for ECM power input and earth. The ECM
requires a permanent battery supply, if this permanent feed is lost i.e. the battery discharges or is disconnected the
ECM will lose its adapted values and its Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). These adapted values are a vital part of
the engine management's rolling adaptive strategy. Without an adaptive strategy, driveability, performance, emission
control, and fuel consumption are adversely affected. The ECM can be damaged by high voltage inputs, so care must
be taken when removing and replacing the ECM.
