Crankshaft speed and Position (CKP) sensor (C0168)
The CKP sensor is located towards the rear of the engine below cylinder number 7, with its tip adjacent to the outer
circumference of the flywheel. The CKP sensor is the most important sensor on the vehicle and without its signal the
engine will not run. The signal produced by the CKP sensor allows the ECM to determine crankshaft angle and speed
of rotation. The ECM uses this information to calculate ignition timing and fuel injection timing.
The CKP sensor works as a variable reluctance sensor. It uses an electromagnet and a reluctor ring to generate a
signal. As the reluctor ring passes the tip of the CKP sensor the magnetic field produced by the sensor is cut and then
re-instated. The ECM measures the signal as an ac voltage.
The output voltage varies in proportion to engine speed. The reluctor ring has a set tooth pattern, 60 teeth are spaced
at 6
° intervals and are 3° wide, two teeth are removed to provide a reference mark at 60° BTDC for number 1 cylinder.
There is no back up strategy or limp home facility if this sensor fails, the engine does not run.

18-2-32 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) (C0641)
The IACV is located on the side of the air inlet pipe on top of the engine. The IACV is used to maintain good quality
idle speed under all operating conditions.
When an engine is running at idle it is subject to a combination of internal and external loads that can affect idle speed.
These loads include engine friction, water pump, alternator operation, and air conditioning.
The IACV acts as an air bypass valve. The ECM uses the IACV to enable the closed loop idle speed calculation to be
made by the ECM. This calculation regulates the amount of air flow into the engine at idle, therefore compensating
for any internal or external loads that may affect idle speed.
The IACV utilises two coils that use opposing PWM signals to control the position of opening/closing of a rotary valve.
If one of the circuits that supply the PWM signal fails, the ECM closes down the remaining signal preventing the IACV
from working at its maximum/ minimum setting. If this should occur, the IACV automatically resumes a default idle
position. In this condition, the engine idle speed is raised and maintained at 1200 rev/min with no load placed on the
engine.
The idle speed in cold start condition is held at 1200 rev/min in neutral for 20 seconds and ignition timing is retarded
as a catalyst heating strategy. The cold start idle speed and the default idle position give the same engine speed 1200
rev/min, and although they are the same figure they must not be confused with each other as they are set separately
by the ECM.
Note that the rotary valve must not be forced to move by mechanical means. The actuator can not be
serviced; if defective, the entire IACV must be replaced.
Input/Output
The input to the IACV is a 12 volt signal from fuse 2 located in the engine compartment fuse box. The output earth
signal to open and close the actuator is controlled by the ECM as follows:
lIACV (open signal) - via pin 42 of connector C0636 of the ECM
lIACV (closed signal) - via pin 43 of connector C0636 of the ECM
The IACV can fail the following ways or supply incorrect signal:
lActuator faulty.
lRotary valve seized.
lWiring loom fault.
lConnector fault.
lIntake system air leak.
lBlocked actuator port or hoses.
lRestricted or crimped actuator port or hoses.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-33
In the event of an IACV signal failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lEither low or high idle speed.
lEngine stalls.
lDifficult starting.
lIdle speed in default condition.
There are eight IACV diagnostic checks performed by the ECM:
lOutput short circuit to earth – opening coil
lOutput short circuit to battery supply – opening coil
lOutput open circuit – opening coil
lOutput short circuit to earth – closing coil
lOutput short circuit to battery voltage – closing coil
lOutput open circuit – closing coil
lBlocked IACV – rev/min error low (engine speed must be 100 rev/min less than the target speed, engine load
less than 2.5 and the measured air flow more than 10 kg/h less than the expected air flow for a fault condition to
be flagged).
lBlocked IACV – rev/min error high (the engine speed must be more than 180 rev/min greater than the target
speed and the measured air flow more than 10 kg/h greater than the expected air flow for a fault condition to be
flagged).
Should a malfunction of the component occur, the following fault codes may be evident and can be retrieved by
TestBook.
Fuel pump relay
The fuel pump relay is located in the engine compartment fuse box. It is a 4 pin normally open relay. Input from the
ECM allows the fuel pump relay to control the electrical input to the fuel pump, regulating the fuel supply to the fuel
injectors. When the ignition is switched on and the engine is cranked, the fuel pump relay is activated by the ECM,
allowing the fuel system to be pressurised to 3.5 bar (52 lbf.in
2). The ECM then deactivates the relay until the engine
has started.
If the fuel pump runs, but the fuel pressure is out of limits, adaptive fuel faults will be stored.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-35
Ignition coils
Two double ended ignition coils are located at the rear of the engine, below the inlet plenum camber mounted on a
bracket. The ignition system operates on the wasted spark principle. When the ECM triggers an ignition coil to spark,
current from the coil travels to one spark plug jumping the gap at the spark plug electrodes igniting the mixture in the
cylinder. Current continues to travel along the earth path (via the cylinder head) to the spark plug negative electrode
at the cylinder that is on the exhaust stroke. The current jumps across the spark plug electrodes and back to the coil
completing the circuit. Since it has sparked simultaneously in a cylinder that is on the exhaust stroke it has not done
any work, therefore it is wasted.
The coils are paired in the following cylinder order:
l1 and 6.
l8 and 5.
l4 and 7.
l3 and 2.
The ECM calculates the dwell timing from battery voltage, and engine speed to ensure constant secondary energy.
This ensures sufficient spark energy is always available without excessive primary current flow and thus avoiding
overheating or damage to the coils. Individual cylinder spark timing is calculated from the following signals:
lEngine speed.
lEngine load.
lEngine temperature.
lKnock control.
lAutomatic gearbox shift control.
lIdle speed control.
During engine warm up ignition timing should be an expected value of 12
° BTDC.
TestBook can not directly carry out diagnostics on the high-tension side of the ignition system. Ignition related faults
are monitored indirectly by the misfire detection system.
Input/Output
Input to the low tension side of the ignition coils comes from Fuse 14 located in the passenger compartment fuse box.
This fuse provides battery power for two ignition coils.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-36 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
It is possible to test both primary and secondary coils of the ignition coils for resistance using a multimeter as follows:
lExpected primary coil resistance: 0.5
± 0.05 Ω at 20 °C (68 °F).
lExpected secondary coil resistance: 13.3
± 1.3 kΩ at 20 °C (68 °F).
The ECM provides the earth control for each coil on separate pins as follows:
LH Bank (cylinders 1, 3, 5, 7)
lCylinder 1 - pin 6 of connector C0638 of the ECM multiplug.
lCylinder 3 - pin 2 of connector C0638 of the ECM multiplug.
lCylinder 5 - pin 8 of connector C0638 of the ECM multiplug.
lCylinder 7 - pin 7 of connector C0638 of the ECM multiplug.
RH Bank (cylinders 2, 4, 6, 8)
lCylinder 2 - pin 2 of connector C0638 of the ECM multiplug.
lCylinder 4 - pin 7 of connector C0638 of the ECM multiplug.
lCylinder 6 - pin 6 of connector C0638 of the ECM multiplug.
lCylinder 8 - pin 8 of connector C0638 of the ECM multiplug.
The ignition coil can fail the following ways or supply incorrect signal:
lCoil open circuit.
lShort circuit to vehicle supply.
lShort circuit to vehicle earth.
lFaulty component.
In the event of ignition coil failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lEngine misfire on specific cylinders.
lEngine will not start.
Knock Sensor (KS)
The ECM uses two knock sensors located between the centre two cylinders of each bank to detect pre-ignition. The
knock sensors consist of piezo ceramic crystals that oscillate to create a voltage signal. During pre-ignition the
frequency of crystal oscillation increases, which alters the signal output to the ECM. The ECM compares the signal
to known signal profiles in its memory. If pre-ignition is detected the ECM retards ignition timing for a number of cycles.
If no more pre-ignition is detected, the timing is gradually advanced to the original setting.

18-2-38 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Spark plugs
The spark plugs are platinum tipped on both centre and earth electrodes. The platinum tips give a long maintenance
free life.
Cleaning or resetting the spark plug gap is not recommended as this could result in damaging the platinum tips and
thereby reducing reliability.
The misfire detection system will malfunction and store erroneous codes if the incorrect spark plugs are used.
Input/Output
The ignition coils provide a voltage to the spark plugs via the ht leads. The cylinder head via the individual thread of
each spark plug provides the earth path.
The spark plugs can fail in the following ways:
lFaulty component.
lConnector or wiring fault.
lBreakdown of high tension lead causing tracking to chassis earth.
lIncorrect spark plugs fitted.
In the event of a spark plug failure, misfire on specific cylinder may be observed:
High tension (ht) leads
The ht leads are located on top of the engine, below the plenum chamber. Their function is to transfer the ht voltage
generated by the ignition coils to the spark plugs in the engine.
Input/Output
The input to the ht lead is ht voltage from the ignition coil pack. The ht lead then supplies this voltage to the spark
plug. Output ht voltage is used by the spark plugs to ignite the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber.
The ht leads can fail in the following ways:
lConnector/ Wiring fault.
lFaulty component causing spark tracking to chassis earth.
lDamage to ht leads during component removal.
In the event of a ht lead failure the following symptom may be observed:
lMisfire on specific cylinder.
All ignition system related faults are diagnosed by the misfire detection system and its fault codes.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-41
Input/Output
The ECM provides the earth for the relay coil to allow the relay contacts to close and the ATC clutch drive to receive
battery voltage. The ECM uses a transistor as a switch to generate an open circuit in the earth path of the relay coil.
When the ECM opens the earth path, the return spring in the relay will pull the contacts apart to shut down the ATC
clutch drive.
Input to the ATC clutch relay switching contacts is via fuse 6 located in the engine compartment fuse box. The relay
coils are supplied with battery voltage from the main relay, also located in the engine compartment fuse box. The earth
path for the relay coil is via pin 29 of the ECM C0657 connector. When the relay is energised the output from the
switching contacts goes directly to the ATC compressor clutch.
The ATC clutch 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 an ATC clutch relay failure, the ATC does not work.
Should a malfunction of the component occur, the following fault codes may be evident and can be retrieved by
TestBook.
