SAI System Fault Finding and Check
Malfunctions
The SAI system diagnostics monitor the whole SAI system for correct operation. Malfunction of any one of the SAI
system components can cause fault codes to be stored in the ECM diagnostic memory.
Correct fault finding methods and investigation are essential to determine the root cause of the generated fault code(s)
and prevent mis-diagnosis.
NOTE: TestBook/T4 must be used to perform active SAI diagnostics.
Fault Finding
In the event of SAI system malfunction and P Codes 1412 – 1417 being stored in the ECM diagnostic memory, the
following information is designed to provide a logical checking process for investigation of the root cause(s) of the
fault. This fault finding guide should be used in conjunction with the following 'Checking Malfunctions' procedure and
other information contained in this Emissions section.
It is important that these procedures are performed to prevent the following:
lExcessive instances of No Fault Found (NFF) components in warranty returns
lMultiple repeat complaints from the customer before the cause of the fault is found.
The following table lists the P codes applicable to the SAI system and their meaning:
Passive Test (P Codes 1412 and 1415)
During normal SAI operation the ECM uses HO2S sensor voltage output to determine if sufficient flow is being
introduced into the exhaust system. Depending on which banks of the engine detect the fault, one or both P codes
can be stored.
Active Tests
If the normal operation of the passive SAI diagnostics cannot be completed, (SAI operation being suspended by load/
speed conditions, for instance) the ECM will attempt to perform an 'Active' test of the system when conditions allow.
These conditions include, but are not limited to: 'Engine fully warm' and 'Engine at idle'. The active test comprises two
parts; a 'Leak Test' followed by a 'Flow Test'.
Leak Test (P Codes P1413 and P1416)
The SAI pump is operated without opening the SAI control valves. In this condition no SAI flow should enter the
exhaust system. By monitoring the HO2S sensor voltage output, the ECM determines if the system is functioning
correctly. Depending on which bank of the engine detects the fault, one or both P codes can be stored.
P-code Description
P1412Secondary Air Injection System – Malfunction Bank 1 LH (Insufficient SAI flow
during passive test)
P1413Secondary Air Injection System – Air control valve always open Bank 1 LH
(Excessive SAI flow during active leak test)
P1414Secondary Air Injection System – Malfunction Bank 1 LH (Insufficient SAI flow
during passive test)
P1415Secondary Air Injection System – Malfunction Bank 2 RH (Insufficient SAI flow
during passive test)
P1416Secondary Air Injection System – Ait control valve always open Bank 2 RH
(Excessive SAI flow during active leak test)
P1417Secondary Air Injection System – Low air flow Bank 2 RH (Insufficient SAI flow
during active test)

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 17-2-45
Flow Test (P Codes P1414 and P1417)
When the Leak test has been passed successfully, the SAI control valves are then opened while the SAI pump is still
operational. Flow should now begin to enter the exhaust system. By monitoring the HO2S sensor voltage output, the
ECM determines if sufficient flow is being introduced into the exhaust system. Depending on which bank of the engine
detects the fault, one or both P codes can be stored.
Fault Finding Methodology
Malfunctions can be broadly categorised into two different categories: Flow Faults or Leak Faults.
Additionally, they also differ depending if the corresponding P code exists for both cylinder banks simultaneously or
is unique to one bank, for example:
Faults of each of the four basic types should be investigated in a different priority order, starting with the most logically
plausible cause or component.
Fault Finding Flow Charts
The following flow charts show the order of investigation that should be performed depending on the type of fault
present. These should be treated as guidelines to ensure that the most likely and plausible causes are addressed first.
However, the flow charts assume that no clear or obvious reason for failure exists. If the cause of the malfunction is
immediately obvious, then the flow charts should not be followed.
Once a malfunction is identified, it should be rectified as necessary and the system checked as per the instructions
in the following 'Checking Malfunctions' section.
NOTE: It is not necessary to follow the remainder of the flow chart once a potential root cause has been identified.

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)
