ENGINE - TD5
12-1-32 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
When the engine temperature is below 74° C, the thermostat in the full-flow filter housing is closed and a proportion
of the oil flow to the main oil gallery is diverted to the oil cooler to supply an oil feed to the turbocharger bearings. Oil
passes through the oil cooler to the front gallery in the oil cooler housing where there is a tapping to connect the feed
pipe to the turbocharger. Oil used by the turbocharger bearings is returned to the sump through an oil drain pipe which
connects to a port in the LH side of the cylinder block.
The remainder of the oil flow leaving the full-flow filter outlet is passed into the cylinder block via a port at the rear of
oil cooler rear gallery.
When the oil temperature rises above 74
° C the thermostat in the full-flow filter adaptor housing begins to open to
allow a proportion of the oil from the full-flow filter to pass through the oil cooler before it reaches the main oil gallery
in the cylinder block. In this instance, oil supply to the turbocharger bearings is fed directly from the full-flow filter
without first passing through the oil cooler. Between 74
° C and 88° C the thermostat valve plunger opens by about
9mm to allow proportionally more oil to flow through the oil cooler before being passed to the cylinder block main oil
delivery gallery. Above 88
°C the thermostat valve continues to open by about 1mm for every 10° C increase in
temperature until the valve is fully open, when all the oil flow to the cylinder block is forced to pass to the cylinder block
via the oil cooler.
An oil pressure switch is located in a port in the rear gallery of the oil cooler housing to sense the oil pressure level
before flow enters the main oil gallery in the engine block. A warning lamp in the instrument cluster is switched on if
the oil pressure is detected as being too low.
+ INSTRUMENTS, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Drillings from the cylinder block main oil gallery direct oil to the crankshaft main bearings and cross drillings in the
crankshaft direct oil to the big-end bearings. An additional five drillings in the cylinder block supply oil at reduced
pressure to the oil squirt jets for piston cooling and gudgeon pin lubrication.
Oil supply from the cylinder block is then passed to the cylinder head galleries through a non-return valve which is
included as an integral item in the lower face of the cylinder head.

EMISSION CONTROL - TD5
17-1-4 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Emission Control Systems
Engine design has evolved in order to minimise the emission of harmful by-products. Emission control systems fitted
to Land Rover vehicles are designed to maintain the emission levels within the legal limits pertaining for the specified
market.
Despite the utilisation of specialised emission control equipment, it is still necessary to ensure that the engine is
correctly maintained and is in good mechanical order, so that it operates at its optimum condition.
In addition to emissions improvements through engine design and the application of electronic engine management
systems, special emission control systems are used to limit the pollutant levels developed under certain conditions.
Two main types of additional emission control system are utilised with the Td5 engine to reduce the levels of harmful
emissions released into the atmosphere. These are as follows:
1Crankcase emission control – also known as blow-by gas emissions from the engine crankcase.
2Exhaust gas recirculation – to reduce NO
2 emissions.
Crankcase emission control
All internal combustion engines generate oil vapour and smoke in the crankcase as a result of high crankcase
temperatures and piston ring and valve stem blow-by, a closed crankcase ventilation system is used to vent
crankcase gases back to the air induction system and so reduce the emission of hydrocarbons.
Gases from the crankcase are drawn into the inlet manifold to be burnt in the combustion chambers with the fresh air/
fuel mixture. The system provides effective emission control under all engine operating conditions.
Crankcase gases are drawn through the breather port in the top of the camshaft cover and routed through the breather
hose and breather valve on the flexible air intake duct to be drawn into the turbocharger intake for delivery to the air
inlet manifold via an intercooler.
An oil separator plate is included in the camshaft cover which removes the heavy particles of oil before the crankcase
gas leaves via the camshaft cover port. The rocker cover features circular chambers which promote swirl in the oil
mist emanating from the cylinder head and camshaft carrier. As the mist passes through the series of chambers
between the rocker cover and oil separator plate, oil particles are thrown against the separator walls where they
condense and fall back into the cylinder head via two air inlet holes located at each end of the rocker cover.
The breather valve is a depression limiting valve which progressively closes as engine speed increases, thereby
limiting the depression in the crankcase. The valve is of moulded plastic construction and has a port on the underside
which plugs into a port in the flexible air intake duct. A port on the side of the breather valve connects to the camshaft
cover port by means of a breather hose which is constructed from a heavy-duty braided rubber hose which is held in
place by hose clips. A corrugated plastic sleeve is used to give further protection to the breather hose. The breather
valve is orientation sensitive, and “TOP” is marked on the upper surface to ensure it is mounted correctly.
It is important that the system is airtight so hose connections to ports should be checked and the condition of the
breather hose should be periodically inspected to ensure it is in good condition.
EMISSION CONTROL - V8
17-2-10 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
A spiral oil separator is located in the stub pipe to the ventilation hose on the right hand cylinder head rocker cover,
where oil is separated and returned to the cylinder head. The rubber ventilation hose from the right hand rocker cover
is routed to a port on the right hand side of the inlet manifold plenum chamber where the returned gases mix with the
fresh inlet air passing through the throttle butterfly valve. The stub pipe on the left hand rocker cover does not contain
an oil separator, and the ventilation hose is routed to the throttle body housing at the air inlet side of the butterfly valve.
The ventilation hoses are attached to the stub pipe by metal band clamps.
Exhaust emission control system
The fuel injection system provides accurately metered quantities of fuel to the combustion chambers to ensure the
most efficient air to fuel ratio under all operating conditions. A further improvement to combustion is made by
measuring the oxygen content of the exhaust gases to enable the quantity of fuel injected to be varied in accordance
with the prevailing engine operation and ambient conditions; any unsatisfactory composition of the exhaust gas is
then corrected by adjustments made to the fuelling by the ECM.
The main components of the exhaust emission system are two catalytic converters which are an integral part of the
front exhaust pipe assembly. The catalytic converters are included in the system to reduce the emission to
atmosphere of carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NO
x) and hydrocarbons (HC). The active constituents of
the catalytic converters are platinum (Pt), palladium (PD) and rhodium (Rh). Catalytic converters for NAS low
emission vehicles (LEVs) from 2000MY have active constituents of palladium and rhodium only. The correct
functioning of the converters is dependent upon close control of the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas entering
the catalyst.
The two catalytic converters are shaped differently to allow sufficient clearance between the body and transmission,
but they remain functionally identical since they have the same volume and use the same active constituents.
The basic control loop comprises the engine (controlled system), the heated oxygen sensors (measuring elements),
the engine management ECM (control) and the injectors and ignition (actuators). Other factors also influence the
calculations of the ECM, such as air flow, air intake temperature and throttle position. Additionally, special driving
conditions are compensated for, such as starting, acceleration, deceleration, overrun and full load.
The reliability of the ignition system is critical for efficient catalytic converter operation, since misfiring will lead to
irreparable damage of the catalytic converter due to the overheating that occurs when unburned combustion gases
are burnt inside it.
CAUTION: If the engine is misfiring, it should be shut down immediately and the cause rectified. Failure to do
so will result in irreparable damage to the catalytic converter.
CAUTION: Ensure the exhaust system is free from leaks. Exhaust gas leaks upstream of the catalytic
converter could cause internal damage to the catalytic converter.
CAUTION: Serious damage to the engine may occur if a lower octane number fuel than recommended is used.
Serious damage to the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors will occur if leaded fuel is used.
Air : fuel ratio
The theoretical ideal air:fuel ratio to ensure complete combustion and minimise emissions in a spark-ignition engine
is 14.7:1 and is referred to as the stoichiometric ratio.
The excess air factor is denoted by the Lambda symbol
λ, and is used to indicate how far the air:fuel mixture ratio
deviates from the theoretical optimum during any particular operating condition.
lWhen
λ = 1, the air to fuel ratio corresponds to the theoretical optimum of 14.7:1 and is the desired condition for
minimising emissions.
lWhen
λ > 1, (i.e. λ = 1.05 to λ = 1.3) there is excess air available (lean mixture) and lower fuel consumption can
be attained at the cost of reduced performance. For mixtures above
λ = 1.3, the mixture ceases to be ignitable.
lWhen
λ < 1, (i.e. λ = 0.85 to λ = 0.95) there is an air deficiency (rich mixture) and maximum output is available,
but fuel economy is impaired.
The engine management system used with V8 engines operates in a narrower control range about the stoichiometric
ideal between
λ = 0.97 to 1.03 using closed-loop control techniques. When the engine is warmed up and operating
under normal conditions, it is essential to maintain
λ close to the ideal (λ = 1) to ensure the effective treatment of
exhaust gases by the three-way catalytic converters installed in the downpipes from each exhaust manifold.
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
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-1-31
The purpose of the glow plugs is:
lAssist cold engine start.
lReduce exhaust emissions at low engine load/speed.
The main part of the glow plug is a tubular heating element that protrudes into the combustion chamber of the engine.
The heating element contains a spiral filament that is encased in magnesium oxide powder. At the tip of the tubular
heating element is the heater coil. Behind the heater coil and connected in series is a control coil. The control coil
regulates the heater coil to ensure that it does not overheat and cause a possible failure. The glow plug circuit has its
own control relay located in the engine compartment fuse box.
Pre-heat is the length of time the glow plugs operate prior to engine cranking. The ECM controls the pre-heat time of
the glow plugs based on battery voltage and coolant temperature information via the glow plug relay.
Post-heat is the length of time the glow plugs operate after the engine starts. The ECM controls the post-heat time
based on ECT information. If the ECT fails the ECM will operate pre/post-heat time strategies with default values from
its memory. The engine will be difficult to start.
Input/Output
The glow plugs receive voltage from the glow plug relay that is controlled by the ECM. The ECM provides the earth
path for the relay coil closing the relay contacts and supplying the glow plugs with battery voltage. The supply voltage
heats the coils to approximately 1000
°C (1832 °F). The glow plug circuit is wired in parallel, the body of each glow
plug is screwed directly into the engine block which provides each glow plug with an earth path.
The glow plugs can fail in the following ways:
lHeater coil open circuit.
lControl coil open circuit.
lPoor earth quality.
lShort circuit to vehicle supply.
lShort circuit to vehicle earth.
lWiring loom fault.
lRelay windings open circuit.
lIncorrect relay fitted.
In the event of a glow plug failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lDifficult starting.
lExcessive smoke emissions after engine start.
