EMISSION CONTROL - V8
17-2-20 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Purge valve operation is controlled by the engine control module (ECM). The purge valve has a two-pin electrical
connector which links to the ECM via the engine harness. Pin-1 of the connector is the power supply source from fuse
2 in the engine compartment fusebox, and pin-2 of the connector is the switched earth from the ECM (pulse width
modulated (PWM) signal) which is used to control the purge valve operation time. Note that the harness connector
for the purge valve is black, and must not be confused with the connector for the Secondary Air Injection
vacuum solenoid valve which is grey.
When the purge valve is earthed by the ECM, the valve opens to allow hydrocarbons stored in the EVAP canister to
be purged to the engine inlet manifold for combustion.
If the purge valve breaks or becomes stuck in the open or closed position, the EVAP system will cease to function
and there are no default measures available. The ECM will store the fault in memory and illuminate the MIL warning
lamp if the correct monitoring conditions have been achieved (i.e. valve status unchanged for 45 seconds after engine
has been running for 15 minutes). If the purge valve is stuck in the open position, a rich air:fuel mixture is likely to
result at the intake manifold, this could cause the engine to misfire and the fuelling adaptions will change.
The following failure modes are possible:
lSticking valve
lValve blocked
lConnector or harness wiring fault (open or short circuit)
lValve stuck open
If the purge valve malfunctions, the following fault codes may be stored in the ECM diagnostic memory, which can be
retrieved using 'Testbook':

Canister Vent Solenoid (CVS) unit – (NAS with vacuum type, fuel evaporation leak detection system only)
1CVS unit
2Mounting bracket
3Spring clips to pipe from EVAP canister
4Harness connector
The canister vent solenoid (CVS) valve is mounted on a slide-on bracket which is riveted to the cruise control bracket
at the right hand side of the engine compartment. The vent pipe from the EVAP canister is connected to a stub pipe
on the CVS unit via a hose and plastic pipe combination. A two-pin connector links to the engine management ECM
via the engine harness for solenoid control; one of the wires is the supply feed from fuse No.2 in the engine
compartment fusebox, the other wire is the valve drive line to the ECM. The solenoid is operated when the ECM
grounds the circuit.
The valve is normally open, allowing any build up of air pressure within the evaporation system to escape, whilst
retaining the environmentally harmful hydrocarbons in the EVAP canister. When the ECM is required to run a fuel
system test, the CVS valve is closed to seal the system. The ECM is then able to measure the pressure in the fuel
evaporative system using the fuel tank pressure sensor.
The ECM performs electrical integrity checks on the CVS valve to determine wiring or power supply faults. The ECM
can also detect a valve blockage if the signal from the fuel tank pressure sensor indicates a depressurising fuel tank
while the CVS valve should be open to atmosphere.

Leak Detection Pump (NAS vehicles with positive pressure EVAP system leakage test only)
1Harness connector
2Leak detection pump motor
3Atmosphere connection to/from EVAP canister
4Atmosphere connection to/from air filter
5Leak detection pump solenoid valve
The fuel evaporation leak detection pump is mounted forward of the EVAP canister on a bracket fitted beneath the
vehicle on the RH side of the vehicle chassis. The leak detection pump is fixed to the bracket by three screws through
the bottom of the bracket.
A short hose connects between the atmosphere vent port of the EVAP canister and a port at the rear of the fuel
evaporation leak detection pump. The hose is secured to the ports at each end by crimped metal band clips.
An elbowed quick fit connector on the top of the fuel evaporation leak detection pump connects to atmosphere via a
large bore pipe. The pipe is routed along the underside of the vehicle chassis and up into the RH side of the engine
compartment where it connects to an air filter canister.
The leak detection pump incorporates a 3–pin electrical connector. Pin-1 is the earth switched supply to the ECM for
control of the pump solenoid valve. Pin-2 is the earth switched supply to the ECM for the operation of the pump motor.
Pin-3 is the power supply to the pump motor and solenoid valve and is switched on at system start up via the main
relay and fuse 2 in the engine compartment fusebox.
Under normal circumstances (i.e. when the leak detection pump is not operating and the solenoid is not energised),
the EVAP canister vent port is connected to atmosphere via the open solenoid valve.
The pump is operated at the end of a drive cycle when the vehicle is stationary and the ignition is switched off.

EMISSION CONTROL - V8
17-2-28 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The SAI pump is attached to a bracket at the rear RH side of the engine compartment and is fixed to the bracket by
three studs and nuts. The pump is electrically powered from a 12V battery supply via a dedicated relay and supplies
approximately 35kg/hr of air when the vehicle is at idle in Neutral/Park on a start from 20
°C (68°F).
Air is drawn into the pump through vents in its front cover and is then passed through a foam filter to remove
particulates before air injection. The air is delivered to the exhaust manifold on each side of the engine through a
combination of plastic and metal pipes.
The air delivery pipe is a flexible plastic type, and is connected to the air pump outlet via a plastic quick-fit connector.
The other end of the flexible plastic pipe connects to the fixed metal pipework via a short rubber hose. The part of the
flexible plastic pipe which is most vulnerable to engine generated heat is protected by heat reflective sleeving. The
metal delivery pipe has a fabricated T-piece included where the pressurised air is split for delivery to each exhaust
manifold via the SAI control valves.
The pipes from the T-piece to each of the SAI control valves are approximately the same length, so that the pressure
and mass of the air delivered to each bank will be equal. The ends of the pipes are connected to the inlet port of each
SAI control valve through short rubber hose connections.
The T-piece is mounted at the rear of the engine (by the ignition coils) and features a welded mounting bracket which
is fixed to the engine by two studs and nuts.
The foam filter in the air intake of the SAI pump provides noise reduction and protects the pump from damage due to
particulate contamination. In addition, the pump is fitted on rubber mountings to help prevent noise which is generated
by pump operation from being transmitted through the vehicle body into the passenger compartment.
If the secondary air injection pump malfunctions, the following fault codes may be stored in the ECM diagnostic
memory, which can be retrieved using 'Testbook':
Secondary air injection (SAI) pump relay
The secondary air injection pump relay is located in the engine compartment fusebox. The engine control module
(ECM) is used to control the operation of the SAI pump via the SAI pump relay. Power to the coil of the relay is supplied
from the vehicle battery via the main relay and the ground connection to the coil is via the ECM.
Power to the SAI pump relay contacts is via fusible link FL2 which is located in the engine compartment fusebox.

17-2-30 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Electrical connection to the SAI vacuum solenoid valve is via a 2–pin connector. A 12V electrical power supply to the
SAI vacuum solenoid valve is provided via the Main relay and Fuse 2 in the engine compartment fusebox. The ground
connection is via the ECM which controls the SAI vacuum solenoid valve operation. Note that the harness
connector to the SAI solenoid valve is grey, and must not be confused with the harness connector to the
EVAP system purge valve which is black.
The ECM switches on the SAI vacuum solenoid valve at the same time as initiating SAI pump operation. When the
SAI vacuum solenoid valve is open, a steady vacuum supply is allowed through to open the two vacuum operated
SAI control valves. When the ECM breaks the earth path to the SAI vacuum solenoid valve, the valve closes and
immediately shuts off the vacuum supply to the two SAI control valves at the same time as the SAI pump operation
is terminated.
If the SAI vacuum solenoid valve malfunctions, the following fault codes may be stored in the ECM diagnostic
memory, which can be retrieved using 'Testbook':

EMISSION CONTROL - V8
17-2-42 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Secondary air injection system
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.
ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - TD5
18-1-10 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
The MAF sensor is located in the intake system between the air filter housing and the turbocharger. The ECM uses
the information generated by the MAF to control exhaust gas recirculation (EGR).
The MAF sensor works on the hot film principal. The MAF sensor has 2 sensing elements contained within a film. One
element is controlled at ambient temperature e.g. 25
°C (77 °F) while the other is heated to 200 °C (392 °F) above
this temperature e.g. 225
°C (437 °F). As air passes through the MAF sensor the hot film will be cooled. The current
required to keep the constant 200
°C (392 °F) difference provides a precise although non-linear signal of the air drawn
into the engine. The MAF sensor sends a voltage between 0 and 5 volts to the ECM proportional to the mass of the
incoming air. This calculation allows the ECM to set the EGR ratio for varying operating conditions.
Input/Output
The MAF sensor receives battery voltage from the main relay in the engine compartment fuse box. Signal output from
the MAF sensor to the ECM is a variable voltage proportional to air drawn into the engine.
Input to the MAF sensor is via pin 5 of connector C0570 at the engine compartment fuse box. This 12 volt supply is
provided by the main relay via fuse 2 in the engine compartment fuse box. The MAF sensor receives the input voltage
at pin 3 of the sensor connector.
Output from the MAF sensor is measured at pin 11 of the ECM connector C0158. The earth path is via pin 20 of the
ECM connector C0158.
The MAF sensor can fail the following ways or supply incorrect signal:
lSensor open circuit.
lShort circuit to vehicle supply.
lShort circuit to vehicle earth.
lContaminated sensor element.
lDamaged sensor element.
lDamaged in wiring harness.
lMAF supplies incorrect signal (due to air leak or air inlet restriction).
In the event of a MAF sensor signal failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lDuring driving engine speed may dip, before recovering.
lDifficult starting.
lEngine stalls after starting.
lDelayed throttle response.
lEGR inoperative.
lReduced engine performance.
lMAF signal out of parameters.
The MIL will not illuminate in a MAF sensor failure, and the ECM will use a fixed default value from its memory.
ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - TD5
18-1-24 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Fuel pump relay
The fuel pump relay is located in the engine compartment fuse box. It switches on the fuel pump to draw fuel from
the fuel tank to the electronic unit injectors (EUI).
Input/Output
The fuel pump relay is a 4 pin normally open relay. Voltage input to the fuel pump relay comes from the main relay
switching contacts. When the main relay is energised the switching contacts close and the fuel pump relay windings
are supplied a voltage. The ECM provides the earth for the relay windings to close the relay contacts and operate the
fuel lift pump. The fuel pump relay switching contacts are supplied voltage via fuse 10 located in the engine
compartment fuse box. Output from these switching contacts is supplied directly to the fuel pump. When the ECM
interrupts the earth the return spring in the relay pulls the contacts apart and the fuel lift pump stops operating. The
earth path is via pin 5 of ECM connector C0658.
The fuel pump relay can fail in the following ways:
lRelay open circuit.
lShort circuit to vehicle supply.
lShort circuit to vehicle earth.
lBroken return spring.
In the event of a fuel pump relay failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lEngine will crank but not start.
lIf the engine is running it will stop.
The MIL will not illuminate in a fuel pump relay failure.
