EMISSION CONTROL - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 17-2-39
Evaporative Emission Control Operation
Fuel vapour is stored in the activated charcoal (EVAP) canister for retention when the vehicle is not operating. When
the vehicle is operating, fuel vapour is drawn from the canister into the engine via a purge control valve. The vapour
is then delivered to the intake plenum chamber to be supplied to the engine cylinders where it is burned in the
combustion process.
During fuel filling the fuel vapour displaced from the fuel tank is allowed to escape to atmosphere, valves within the
fuel filler prevent any vapour escaping through to the EVAP canister as this can adversely affect the fuel cut-off height.
Only fuel vapour generated whilst driving is prevented from escaping to atmosphere by absorption into the charcoal
canister. The fuel filler shuts off to leave the tank approximately 10% empty to ensure the ROVs are always above
the fuel level and so vapour can escape to the EVAP canister and the tank can breathe. The back pressures normally
generated during fuel filling are too low to open the pressure relief valve, but vapour pressures accumulated during
driving are higher and can open the pressure relief valve. Should the vehicle be overturned, the ROVs shut off to
prevent any fuel spillage.
Fuel vapour generated from within the fuel tank as the fuel heats up is stored in the tank until the pressure exceeds
the operating pressure of the two-way valve. When the two-way valve opens, the fuel vapour passes along the vent
line from the fuel tank (via the fuel tank vapour separator) to the evaporation inlet port of the EVAP canister. The fuel
tank vents between 5.17 and 6.9 kPa.
Fuel vapour evaporating from the fuel tank is routed to the EVAP canister through the fuel vapour separator and vent
line. Liquid fuel must not be allowed to contaminate the charcoal in the EVAP canister. To prevent this, the fuel vapour
separator fitted to the fuel neck allows fuel to drain back into the tank. As the fuel vapour cools, it condenses and is
allowed to flow back into the fuel tank from the vent line by way of the two-way valve.
The EVAP canister contains charcoal which absorbs and stores fuel vapour from the fuel tank while the engine is not
running. When the canister is not being purged, the fuel vapour remains in the canister and clean air exits the canister
via the air inlet port.
The engine management ECM controls the electrical output signal to the purge valve. The system will not work
properly if there is leakage or clogging within the system or if the purge valve cannot be controlled.

+ ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description - engine
management.
When the engine is running, the ECM decides when conditions are correct for vapour to be purged from the EVAP
canister and opens the canister purge valve. This connects a manifold vacuum line to the canister and fuel vapour
containing the hydrocarbons is drawn from the canister's charcoal element to be burned in the engine. Clean air is
drawn into the canister through the atmosphere vent port to fill the displaced volume of vapour.
The purge valve remains closed below preset coolant and engine speed values to protect the engine tune and
catalytic converter performance. If the EVAP canister was purged during cold running or at idling speed, the additional
enrichment in the fuel mixture would delay the catalytic converter light off time and cause erratic idle. When the purge
valve is opened, fuel vapour from the EVAP canister is drawn into the plenum chamber downside of the throttle
housing, to be delivered to the combustion chambers for burning.
The purge valve is opened and closed in accordance with a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal supplied from the
engine management ECM. The system will not work properly if the purge valve cannot be controlled. Possible failure
modes associated with the purge valve are listed below:
lValve drive open circuit.
lShort circuit to vehicle supply or ground.
lPurge valve or pipework blocked or restricted.
lPurge valve stuck open.
lPipework joints leaking or disconnected.
Possible symptoms associated with a purge valve or associated pipework failure is listed below:
lEngine may stall on return to idle if purge valve is stuck open.
lPoor idling quality if the purge valve is stuck open
lFuelling adaptions forced excessively lean if the EVAP canister is clear and the purge valve is stuck open.
lFuelling adaptions forced excessively rich if the EVAP canister is saturated and the purge valve is stuck open.
lSaturation of the EVAP canister if the purge valve is stuck closed.

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.

Test 1– Secondary Air Injection (SAI) Pump
Power Supply and Relay
Check all wiring and connections.
Functional Check of SAI Pump
The ECM checks the engine coolant temperature when the engine is started in addition to checking the elapsed time
since the last engine start. The engine coolant temperature must be below 55°C (131°F) and the ambient temperature
above 8°C (46°F) for the SAI pump to run. Also, depending on the long term 'modelled' ambient temperature
determined by the ECM, the minimum time elapsed required since the last engine start can be up to 8.25 hours. The
period of time that the SAI pump runs for depends on the starting temperature of the engine and varies from
approximately 95 seconds for a start at 8°C (46°F) to 30 seconds for a start at 55°C (131°F).
With a warm engine which is switched off and the SAI pump relay removed, the SAI pump can be supplied with power
by bridging terminals 87 and 30 at the relay socket.
CAUTION: Ensure that terminals 87 and 87a are not connected or bridged in any way, a short circuit will
occur.
NOTE: TestBook/T4 can also be used to force the SAI system to perform an SAI active diagnostic routine. During this
routine the SAI pump will run for approximately 10 seconds.
When the terminals are bridged or the diagnostic routine initiated, the pump must run when requested which will be
noticeable by the running noise of the pump. Only allow the SAI pump to run for a maximum of 90 seconds and allow
sufficient time for the pump to cool down before running again.
If the SAI pump does not run or makes a scraping noise, it must be replaced. In this case, all other system components
must also be checked.
Noise Complaints
If the SAI pump runs but the operating noise is excessively loud, the external components of the pump, cable, hose
line, and decoupling segments, must be checked. Check the decoupling segments and hose line for distortion and
the cable and hose line for contact with the pump body.
If excessive noise still occurs, the SAI pump must be replaced.
NOTE: Before a new SAI pump is fitted, the SAI control valves must checked for correct function and tightness – Refer
to Test 2 – Secondary Air Injection (SAI) Control Valves.
When fitting a new SAI pump, ensure that the hose lines, the cable and the decoupling segments are fitted without
tension and contact with the pump body.

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)
