ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - TD5
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-1-33
The turbocharger is exposed to extremely high operating temperatures (up to 1,000 °C (1832 °F)) because of the hot
exhaust gases and the high speed revolution of the turbine (up to 150,000 rev/min). In order to resist wear of the
turbine bearings a flow of lubrication oil is supplied from the engine lubrication system to keep the bearings cool. Oil
is supplied from a tapping at the front of the full-flow filter adaptor housing via a metal pipe with banjo connections.
Oil is returned to the sump via a metal pipe which connects to the cylinder block at a port below the turbocharger
assembly.
A heatshield is attached to the left hand side of the engine to protect adjacent components from the heat generated
at the turbocharger. The heatshield is attached to the engine by two bolts an additional bolt attaches the heatshield
to the turbocharger casting.
The engine control module controls the amount of boost pressure the engine receives by way of the turbocharger.
When full boost is reached a control signal is sent to the wastegate modulator, and a vacuum is applied to the
wastegate valve. The wastegate valve opens, bypassing some of the exhaust gas away from the turbine to be output
to the exhaust system.
The engine should be allowed to idle for 15 seconds following engine start up and before the engine is switched off
to protect the turbocharger by maintaining oil supply to the turbine bearings.
Intercooler
The intercooler is an air-to-air heat exchanger which lowers the intake air temperature to obtain a higher air density
for better combustion efficiency. The intercooler receives compressed air from the turbocharger via a metal pipe; it
cools the intake air via the intercooler matrix and delivers it to the intake manifold by means of a rubber hose which
connects between the intercooler outlet and the intake manifold outlet. The rubber hose is connected to ports at each
end by metal band clips.

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.

18-2-42 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Cooling fan relay
The cooling fan relay is located in the engine compartment fuse box. It is a four pin normally open relay. The relay
must be energised to drive the cooling fan.
The cooling fan is used to cool both the condenser in which the ATC refrigerant is held and the radiator. This fan is
used especially when the engine is operating at excessively high temperatures. It is also used as a part of the ECM
backup strategy if the ECT fails.
Input/Output
The ECM provides the earth for the relay coils to allow the relay contacts to close and the cooling fan motor to receive
battery voltage. The ECM uses a transistor as a switch to generate an open circuit in the earth path of the relay
windings. When the ECM opens the earth path, the return spring in the relay will pull the contacts apart to shut down
the cooling fan motor drive.
Input to the cooling fan relay switching contacts is via fuse 5 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 coils is via pin 31 of the ECM connector C0636. When the relay is energised the output from the
switching contacts is directly to the cooling fan motor.
The cooling fan relay can fail in the following ways:
lRelay open circuit.
lShort circuit to vehicle battery supply.
lShort circuit to vehicle earth.
lBroken return spring.
In the event of a cooling fan relay failure, the cooling fan does not work.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-45
Ignition timing
The ignition timing is an important part of the ECM adaptive strategy. Ignition is controlled by a direct ignition system
using two four-ended coils operating on the wasted spark principle.
When the ECM triggers an ignition coil to spark, current from the coil travels to one spark plug, then jumps the gap at
the spark plug electrodes, igniting the mixture in the cylinder in the process. 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 simultaneously
sparked in a cylinder that is on the exhaust stroke, it has not provided an ignition source there and is consequently
termed 'wasted'.
Conditions
The ECM calculates ignition timing using input from the following:
lCKP sensor.
lKnock sensors (KS).
lMAF sensor.
lTP sensor (idle only).
lECT sensor.
Function
At engine start up, the ECM sets ignition timing dependent on ECT information and starting rev/min from the CKP. As
the running characteristics of the engine change, the ignition timing changes. The ECM compares the CKP signal to
stored values in its memory, and if necessary advances or retards the spark via the ignition coils.
Ignition timing is used by the ECM for knock control.
Knock control
The ECM uses active knock control to prevent possible engine damage due to pre-ignition. This is achieved by
converting engine block noise into a suitable electrical signal that can be processed by the ECM. A major contributing
factor to engine 'knock' is fuel quality, the ECM can function satisfactorily on 91 RON fuel as well as the 95 RON fuel
that it is calibrated for.
Conditions
The ECM knock control system operates as follows:
lHot running engine.
l91 or 95 RON fuel.
Function
The ECM knock control uses two sensors located one between the centre two cylinders of each bank. 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.
If the knock sensors detect pre-ignition in any of the cylinders, the ECM retards the ignition timing by 3
° for that
particular cylinder. If this action stops the engine knock, the ignition timing is restored to its previous figure in
increments of 0.75
°. If this action does not stop engine knock then the ECM retards the ignition timing a further 3° up
to a maximum of -15
° and then restores it by 0.75° and so on until the engine knock is eliminated.
The ECM also counteracts engine knock at high intake air temperatures by retarding the ignition as above. The ECM
uses the IAT signal to determine air temperature.

COOLING SYSTEM - TD5
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 26-1-5
Description
General
The cooling system used on the Diesel engine is a pressure relief by-pass type system which allows coolant to
circulate around the engine block and heater circuit when the thermostat is closed. With coolant not passing through
the by-pass or the radiator promotes faster heater warm-up which in turn improves passenger comfort.
A coolant pump is mounted on a casting behind the PAS pump and is driven from the PAS pump at crankshaft speed
by the auxiliary drive belt. The pump mounting casting connects with passages in the cylinder block and pumps
coolant from the radiator through the cylinder block.
A viscous fan is attached to an idler pulley at the front of the engine. The fan is attached to a threaded spigot on the
pulley with a left hand threaded nut. The fan draws air through the radiator to assist in cooling when the vehicle is
stationary. The fan rotational speed is controlled relative to the running temperature of the engine by a thermostatic
valve regulated by a bi-metallic coil.
The cooling system uses a 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water.
A Fuel Burning Heater (FBH) is available as an optional item for Diesel engine variants. The FBH is located on the
bulkhead and is connected in series in the coolant supply to the heater. The FBH is used to compensate for the
relatively low coolant temperatures inherent in the Diesel engine.

+ HEATING AND VENTILATION, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Thermostat housing
A plastic thermostat housing is located behind the radiator. The housing has three connections which locate the
radiator bottom hose, top hose and coolant pump feed pipe. The housing contains a wax element thermostat and a
spring loaded by-pass flow valve.
Thermostat - Main valve
The thermostat is used to maintain the coolant at the optimum temperature for efficient combustion and to aid engine
warm-up. The thermostat is closed at temperatures below approximately 82
°C (179°F). When the coolant
temperature reaches approximately 82
°C the thermostat starts to open and is fully open at approximately 96°C
(204
°F). In this condition the full flow of coolant is directed through the radiator.
The thermostat is exposed to 90% hot coolant from the engine on one side and 10% cold coolant returning from the
radiator bottom hose on the other side.
Hot coolant from the engine passes from the by-pass pipe through four sensing holes in the flow valve into a tube
surrounding 90% of the thermostat sensitive area. Cold coolant returning from the radiator, cooled by the ambient air,
conducts through 10% of the thermostat sensitive area.
In cold ambient temperatures, the engine temperature is raised approximately 10
°C (50°F) to compensate for the heat
loss of 10% exposure to the cold coolant returning from the radiator bottom hose.
By-pass flow valve
The by-pass flow valve is held closed by a light spring. It operates to further aid heater warm-up. When the main valve
is closed and the engine speed is below 1500 rev/min, the coolant pump does not produce sufficient flow and pressure
to open the valve. In this condition the valve prevents coolant circulating through the by-pass circuit and forces the
coolant through the heater matrix only. This provides a higher flow of warm coolant through the heater matrix to
improve passenger comfort in cold conditions.
When the engine speed increases above 1500 rev/min the coolant pump produces a greater flow and pressure than
the heater circuit can take. The pressure acts on the flow valve and overcomes the valve spring pressure, opening
the valve and limiting the pressure in the heater circuit. The valve modulates to provide maximum coolant flow through
the heater matrix and yet allowing excess coolant to flow into the by-pass circuit to provide the engines cooling needs
at higher engine rev/min.
