ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-17
Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor (C0176)
The CMP sensor is located on the front of the engine, above and behind the crankshaft pulley. The CMP sensor is a
Hall effect sensor producing four pulses for every two crankshaft revolutions. The sensor is positioned close to the
camshaft gear wheel, the gear wheel has four slots machined at 90° intervals. This allows the ECM to recognise 4
individual cylinders every camshaft revolution or all 8 cylinders every crankshaft revolution.
The CMP sensor Hall effect works as a magnetic switch. It switches battery voltage on or off depending on the position
of the camshaft gear wheel in relationship to the sensor.
The ECM uses this signal for cylinder recognition to control sequential fuel injection, engine knock and diagnostic
purposes.
Input/Output
Electrical input to the camshaft position sensor is from fuse 2 located in engine compartment fuse box. One output is
sensor earth, the other is the signal output to the ECM via pin 20 of connector C0636.
The CMP sensor can fail the following ways or supply incorrect signal:
lSensor open circuit.
lShort circuit to vehicle battery supply.
lShort circuit to vehicle earth.
lIncorrect fitting of the sensor.
lExcessive camshaft gear wheel tolerance.
lExcessive camshaft endfloat.
lCamshaft and crankshaft misalignment.
lSpeed signal correlation with CKP sensor signal.
lCam wheel magnetised / residual magnetism
In the event of a CMP sensor signal failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lIgnition timing reverts to default values from ECM memory.
lLoss of cylinder correction.
lLoss of active knock control.
lLoss of active knock control diagnostics.
lLoss of cylinder identification for misfire diagnostics.
lLoss of quick synchronisation of crankshaft and camshaft for cranking/ start up.
lFuel injection could be 360° out of phase.
lFront HO
2S sensor ageing period diagnostic disabled (NAS only)
Should a malfunction of the component occur the following fault code may be evident and can be retrieved by
TestBook:
The fault condition has to be detected for more than 100 cam pulses (25 revolutions) when the engine speed is greater
than 500 rev/min.

STEERING
57-8 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Steering box
The steering box is located behind the first cross member of the chassis and is secured to the chassis rail with four
bolts. The steering box is of the worm and roller type and has a rotary control valve. The steering box is connected to
the steering knuckles of the front road wheels by the drop arm, drag link and track rod. The steering box is lubricated
by the hydraulic fluid in the housing. The input shaft is attached to the steering wheel via the intermediate shaft and
steering column. The drop arm is secured to the output shaft with a nut and tab washer. A ball joint allows movement
between drop arm and drag link, the ball joint is secured with a locknut. The steering box requries approximately 3.5
turns from lock to lock.
As a maintenance aid, an alignment bolt can be used to lock the drop arm at the steering box centre position. The bolt
fits in a groove in the rear face of the drop arm and screws in to a threaded hole on the bottom of the steering box
housing.

3Valve sleeve
4Pin5Input shaft and valve rotor
6Piston/rack
7Coarse spline
8Spline (torque shaft to worm gear)
When the steering wheel and input shaft is turned steering resistance transmitted to the worm causes the torsion bar
to be wound up and the valve ports in the valve rotor and valve sleeve to be aligned for a right or left turn. The
alignment of the valve ports directs fluid pressure 'A' from the PAS pump to one side of the piston/rack . The other
side of the piston/rack is now connected to return 'B' (due the valves port alignment) and displaced fluid returns to the
reservoir. The pressure difference in the cylinder on each side of the piston gives the power assistance to move the
rack and so turn the steering.
The greater the resistance of the road wheels to the steering rotary movement, the greater torque acting on the torsion
bar and input shaft causing greater changes of alignment of the ports in the valve. As the change of alignment
becomes greater, the fluid pressure passing to the applicable side of the piston/rack increases.
Only when the steering wheel stops turning and the torsion bar has unwound, will the valve rotor return to the neutral
position. In the neutral position the fluid circulates through the ports in the valve rotor and valve sleeve and back to
the reservoir where it is cooled.

Hydraulic system - bleed
$% 57.15.02
Bleed
1.Clean PAS fluid reservoir around filler cap and
fluid level indicators.
2.Remove filler cap from PAS fluid reservoir. If
necessary, fill PAS fluid reservoir to upper level
indicator with recommended fluid.

+ CAPACITIES, FLUIDS,
LUBRICANTS AND SEALANTS, Fluids.
CAUTION: Ensure no dirt is allowed to enter
the steering reservoir when the cap is
removed.
3.Start engine and run to normal operating
temperature.
4.Position container to catch fluid spillage from
steering box.
5.With engine at idle speed, and an assistant
turning the steering from lock to lock, loosen
bleed screw on top of steering box. Keep PAS
fluid reservoir topped up and allow all air to
bleed from system. When fluid from bleed
screw is free of air, tighten bleed screw.
CAUTION: Do not hold steering at full lock
for longer than 10 seconds.
6.Stop engine.
7.Clean spilled PAS fluid from steering box and
surrounding area.
CAUTION: Power steering fluid will damage
paint finished surfaces. If spilled,
immediately remove fluid and clean area
with water.
8.Check fluid level in PAS fluid reservoir and fill to
upper level mark. If fluid is aerated, wait until
fluid is free from bubbles.
9.Fit PAS fluid reservoir filler cap.
Steering linkage - centralise
$% 57.35.05
The following procedure assumes that the front
wheel alignment is correctly adjusted.
Adjust
1.Raise front of vehicle, and position the road
wheels at straight ahead.
WARNING: Do not work on or under a
vehicle supported only by a jack. Always
support the vehicle on safety stands.
2.Remove nut securing drag link to drop arm.
Using tool LRT-57-036 break taper joint and
release drag link from drop arm.
3.Fit centralising bolt to steering box and ensure
that front road wheels are in the straight ahead
position.
4.Loosen clamp bolts on drag link.

ADJUSTMENTS 57-19
5.Adjust drag link so that taper joint is centralised
in drop arm, then tighten drag link clamp bolts:
Tighten M8 bolts to 22 Nm (16 lbf.ft) and M10
bolts to 33 Nm (24 lbf.ft).
6.Connect drag link to drop arm and tighten nut to
80 Nm (59 lbf.ft).
7.Remove steering box centralising bolt.
8.Remove stand(s) and lower vehicle.
9.Road test the vehicle and check that the
steering wheel is centralised. If steering wheel
is not centralised, proceed as follows.
10.Slacken drag link adjuster clamp bolts.
11.Without disconnecting drag link from drop arm,
adjust the length of the drag link to bring the
steering wheel to the central position.
CAUTION: Repositioning the steering wheel
on its splines cannot correct small (less
than 5°) errors in steering wheel alignment.
Always rectify small errors in alignment by
adjusting the drag link as detailed above,
ensuring that steering box centralisation is
maintained.
12.Tighten drag link clamp bolts: Tighten M8 bolts
to 22 Nm (16 lbf.ft) and M10 bolts to 33 Nm (24
lbf.ft)
