1999 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY warning

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-57
Low fuel level signal
When the fuel level in the fuel tank becomes low enough to illuminate the low fuel level warning lamp in the instrument
cluster, the instrument cluster generates a low fuel level signal. If the low fuel level signal is present during the ECM
misfire detection function the ECM can use it to check for a 'false misfire'.
Conditions
The fuel sender generates the low fuel level signal when the fuel sender resistance is greater than 158 ± 8 ohms.
Function
The illumination of the low fuel level warning lamp in the instrument cluster triggers the low fuel level signal to be sent
to the ECM. This signal is processed via pin 8 of connector C0637 of the ECM.
Should a misfire occur while the fuel level is low, the following fault code may be evident and can be retrieved by
TestBook.
Coolant temperature gauge signal
The ECM controls the temperature gauge in the instrument cluster. The ECM sends a coolant temperature signal to
the temperature gauge in the instrument cluster in the form of a PWM square wave signal.
The frequency of the signal determines the level of the temperature gauge.
Conditions
The ECM operates the PWM signal under the following parameters:
l-40 °C (-40 °F) = a pulse width of 768 µs.
l140 °C (284 °F) = a pulse width of 4848 µs.
Function
The coolant temperature signal is an output from the ECM to the instrument cluster. The coolant temperature signal
is generated via pin 44 of connector C0636 of the ECM.
The coolant temperature signal can fail in the following ways:
lWiring short circuit to vehicle supply.
lWiring short circuit to vehicle earth.
lWiring open circuit.
In the event of a coolant temperature signal failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lCoolant temperature gauge will read cold at all times.
lCoolant temperature warning lamp remains on at all times.
Controller Area Network (CAN) system
The controller area network (CAN) system is a high speed serial interface between the ECM and the Electronic
Automatic Transmission (EAT) ECU. The CAN system uses a 'data bus' to transmit information messages between
the ECM and the EAT ECU. Because there are only two components in this CAN system, one will transmit information
messages and the other will receive information messages, and vice-versa.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-63
Description - cruise control
General
All markets have a common cruise control system. The cruise control system, when activated, regulates vehicle
speed. The system consists of an electrical sub-system and a mechanical sub-system.
The electrical sub-system consists of the following components:
lCruise control master switch (on/off switch).
lSET+ switch.
lRES switch.
lCruise control ECU.
lVacuum pump assembly.
lBrake pedal switch.
lClutch pedal switch (manual gearbox only).
lSLABS ECU (speed signal).
lBCU (brake pedal switch and automatic gearbox gear selector lever position signal).
The mechanical sub-system consists of the following components:
lPneumatic actuator.
lVacuum pump.
The cruise control ECU controls the cruise control system. It is located on the right hand A post.
The system has diagnostic capabilities through TestBook.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of losing control of the vehicle, do not use cruise control on winding, snow
covered or slippery roads, or in traffic conditions where a constant speed cannot be safely maintained. In
these conditions and at any time the system is not being used, ensure the cruise control switch is OFF.
