7Pipe connection to OBD sensor in fuel pump

The fuel vapour separator is located under the rear wheel arch next to the filler neck and protected by the wheel arch
lining. The connections to the separator unit are quick release devices at the end of the flexible hoses which connect
the fuel tank to the inlet side of the separator and the outlet of the separator to the evaporation vent line.
The fuel separator construction is different between NAS and ROW vehicles; the LVS on NAS vehicles is an L-shaped
metal tube and for all other markets is an integral part of the moulded plastic filler neck.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-14 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Crankshaft speed and Position (CKP) sensor (C0168)
The CKP sensor is located towards the rear of the engine below cylinder number 7, with its tip adjacent to the outer
circumference of the flywheel. The CKP sensor is the most important sensor on the vehicle and without its signal the
engine will not run. The signal produced by the CKP sensor allows the ECM to determine crankshaft angle and speed
of rotation. The ECM uses this information to calculate ignition timing and fuel injection timing.
The CKP sensor works as a variable reluctance sensor. It uses an electromagnet and a reluctor ring to generate a
signal. As the reluctor ring passes the tip of the CKP sensor the magnetic field produced by the sensor is cut and then
re-instated. The ECM measures the signal as an ac voltage.
The output voltage varies in proportion to engine speed. The reluctor ring has a set tooth pattern, 60 teeth are spaced
at 6° intervals and are 3° wide, two teeth are removed to provide a reference mark at 60° BTDC for number 1 cylinder.
There is no back up strategy or limp home facility if this sensor fails, the engine does not run.
Input/Output
Because of the nature of its operation the CKP sensor does not require any electrical input source. The CKP sensor
is a 3 pin variable reluctance sensor generating its own electrical output. The 2 output sources from the sensor are
earthed via pin 46 of connector C0636 of the ECM and sensor output is via pin 32 of connector C0636 of the ECM.
This output is in the form of an ac voltage waveform. The 3rd pin is used by the ECM as an earth screen, this screen
protects the integrity of the CKP sensor signal to ensure that outside electrical interference is eliminated, it is
controlled via pin 45 of connector C0636 of the ECM. The ac voltage generated from the CKP sensor is relative to
engine speed.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-15
Typical CKP sensor output
The above readings are dependent upon correct air gap between the tip of the CKP sensor and the passing teeth of
the reluctor ring. The correct air gap between the tip of the CKP sensor and the passing teeth of the reluctor ring can
be set by the correct fitting of a spacer as follows:
l9.2 mm spacer for vehicles with manual gearbox fitted.
l18 mm spacer for vehicles with automatic gearbox fitted.
It is vital that the correct air gap is maintained, if the air gap becomes too wide the CKP signal becomes too weak,
causing possible engine misfires to occur.
The CKP sensor can fail the following ways or supply incorrect signal:
lSensor assembly loose.
lIncorrect spacer fitted.
lSensor open circuit.
lSensor short circuit.
lIncorrect fitting and integrity of the sensor.
lWater ingress at sensor connector
lECM unable to detect the software reference point.
lFerrous contamination of crank sensor pin/reluctor
In the event of a CKP sensor signal failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lEngine cranks but fails to start.
lMIL remains on at all times.
lEngine misfires (CKP sensor incorrectly fitted).
lEngine runs roughly or even stalls (CKP sensor incorrectly fitted).
lTachometer fails to work.
lFlywheel adaption reset – ferrous contamination
If the CKP sensor fails while the engine is running the engine will suddenly stall, this is because the CKP sensor has
no backup strategy. If this happens the ECM will produce a fault code that it can store in its memory. If the engine is
not running when the CKP sensor fails, the vehicle will crank but will be unlikely to start, and no fault code will be
generated. In this instance the MIL lamp will remain illuminated and the tachometer will fail to read.
