ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-30 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
There are eight fuel injectors one per cylinder that the ECM operates sequentially. All the injectors are fed from a
common fuel rail as part of the returnless fuel system. Fuel pressure is maintained at a constant 3.5 bar (52 lbf.in2) by
a regulator that is integral with the fuel pump.

+ FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Input/Output
All eight fuel injectors are supplied with battery voltage via fuse number 1 located in engine compartment fuse box.
The ECM controls the individual earth path for each injector via its own pin at connector C0636 of the ECM multiplug.
This facility allows the ECM to control the fuel injectors so that sequential fuel injection can take place.
Typical hot engine injector pulse width values:
lIdle = 2.5 ms.
lPeak torque (3000 rev/min) = 7 ms The ECM controls injector earth as follows:
lCylinder No 1 - pin 41 of connector C0636 of the ECM multiplug.
lCylinder No 2 - pin 1 of connector C0636 of the ECM multiplug.
lCylinder No 3 - pin 27 of connector C0636 of the ECM multiplug.
lCylinder No 4 - pin 40 of connector C0636 of the ECM multiplug.
lCylinder No 5 - pin 2 of connector C0636 of the ECM multiplug.
lCylinder No 6 - pin 15 of connector C0636 of the ECM multiplug.
lCylinder No 7 - pin 14 of connector C0636 of the ECM multiplug.
lCylinder No 8 - pin 28 of connector C0636 of the ECM multiplug.
Individual injectors can be measured for resistance using a multimeter. An acceptable injector resistance is as follows:
l14.5
± 0.7 ohms at 20 °C (68 °F).
The fuel injectors can fail in the following ways or supply incorrect signal:
lInjector actuator open circuit.
lShort circuit to vehicle supply.
lShort circuit to vehicle earth.
lBlocked injector.
lRestricted injector.
lLow fuel pressure.
In the event of fuel injector signal failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lRough running.
lDifficult starting.
lEngine misfire.
lPossible catalyst damage.
lHigh emissions.
lAdaptive fuelling disabled.
lAdaptive idle speed control disabled.
The ECM performs three types of fuel injector diagnostic check:
lOutput short circuit to earth
lOutput short circuit to battery voltage
lOutput open circuit
Should a malfunction of the component occur the following fault codes may be evident and can be retrieved by

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-44 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Closed loop fuelling
The ECM uses a closed loop fuelling system as part of its fuelling strategy. The operation of the three-way catalytic
converter relies on the ECM being able to optimise the air/ fuel mixture, switching between rich and lean either side
of lambda one. Closed loop fuelling is not standard for all markets, vehicles that are not fitted with HO
2S do not have
closed loop fuelling.
The ideal stoichiometric ratio is represented by
λ =1. The ratio can be explained as 14.7 parts of air to every 1 part of
fuel.
Conditions
To achieve closed loop fuelling, the ECM interacts with the following components:
lHO
2S.
lFuel injectors.
Closed loop fuelling is a rolling process controlled by the ECM. The ECM uses information gained from the CKP, ECT,
MAF/ IAT and the TP sensors, to operate under the following conditions:
lPart throttle.
lLight engine load.
lCruising.
lIdle.
Function
When the engine is operating in the above conditions, the ECM implements the closed loop fuelling strategy. The air/
fuel mixture is ignited by the high tension (ht) spark in the combustion chambers and the resulting gas is expelled into
the exhaust pipe. Upon entering the exhaust pipe the exhaust gas passes over the protruding tip of the HO
2S. The
HO
2S measures the oxygen content of the gas compared to that of ambient air and converts it into a voltage, which
is measured by the ECM.
The voltage signal read by the ECM is proportional to the oxygen content of the exhaust gas. This signal can then be
compared to stored values in the ECM's memory and an adaptive strategy can be implemented.
If the HO
2S informs the ECM of an excess of oxygen (lean mixture), the ECM extends the opening time of the fuel
injectors via the Injector Pulse Width (IPW) signal. Once this new air/ fuel ratio has been 'burnt' in the combustion
chambers the HO
2S can again inform the ECM of the exhaust gas oxygen content, this time there will be a lack of
oxygen or a rich mixture. The ECM reduces the opening time of the injectors via the IPW signal using the ECM's
adaptive fuel strategy. During closed loop fuelling the HO
2S will constantly switch from rich to lean and back again,
this indicates that the ECM and the HO
2S are operating correctly.
Open loop fuelling
Open loop fuelling does not rely on information from the HO
2S, but the air/ fuel ratio is set directly by the ECM, which
uses information gained from the ECT, MAF/ IAT, the TP sensors and also the vehicle speed sensor (VSS). The ECM
uses open loop fuelling under the following conditions:
lCold start.
lHot start.
lWide open throttle.
lAcceleration.
The ECM uses open loop fuelling to control fuel quantity in all non adaptive strategy conditions. The ECM implements
fuelling information carried in the form of specific mapped data contained within its memory.
Because there is no sensor information (e.g. HO
2S), provided back to the ECM, the process is called an 'open loop'.
The ECM will also go into open loop fuelling if a HO
2S fails.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-46 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Idle speed control
The ECM regulates the engine speed at idling. The ECM uses the idle air control valve (IACV) to compensate for the
idle speed drop that occurs when the engine is placed under greater load than usual. When the throttle is in the rest
position i.e. it has not been pressed, the majority of intake air that the engine consumes comes from the idle air control
valve.
IACV control idle speed
Conditions in which the ECM operates the IACV control idle speed is as follows:
lIf any automatic transmission gears other than P or N are selected.
lIf air conditioning is switched on.
lIf cooling fans are switched on.
lAny electrical loads activated by the driver.
Function
The idle air control valve utilises two coils that use opposing pulse width modulated (PWM) signals to control the
position of a rotary valve. If one of the circuits that supplies the PWM signal fails, the ECM closes down the remaining
signal preventing the idle air control valve from working at its maximum/ minimum setting. If this should occur, the idle
air control valve assumes a default idle position at which the engine idle speed is raised to 1200 rev/min with no load
placed on the engine.
Evaporative emission control
Due to increasing legislation, all new vehicles must be able to limit evaporative emissions (fuel vapour) from the fuel
tank.
The ECM controls the emission control system using the following components:
lEVAP canister.
lPurge valve.
lCanister vent solenoid (CVS) valve – (NAS vehicles with vacuum type EVAP system leak detection capability
only)
lFuel tank pressure sensor – (NAS vehicles with vacuum type EVAP system leak detection capability only)
lFuel leak detection pump – (NAS vehicles with positive pressure type EVAP system leak detection capability
only)
lInterconnecting pipe work.
Refer to Emissions section for operating conditions of evaporative emission systems.

+ EMISSION CONTROL - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Evaporative emission control operation.
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) - North American Specification vehicles only
The ECM monitors performance of the engine for misfires, catalyst efficiency, exhaust leaks and evaporative control
loss. If a fault occurs, the ECM stores the relevant fault code and warns the driver of component failure by illuminating
the Malfunction Indicator Light in the instrument pack.
On vehicles fitted with automatic gearbox, the ECM combines with the Electronic Automatic Transmission (EAT) ECU
to provide the OBD strategy.
Conditions
If the OBD function of the ECM flags a fault during its operation, it falls into one of the following categories:
lmin = minimum value of the signal exceeded.
lmax = maximum value of the signal exceeded.
lsignal = signal not present.
lplaus = an implausible condition has been diagnosed.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-49
TestBook is able to retrieve the following Catalyst damage fault codes:
The flywheel/ reluctor ring adaptions must be reset if the CKP sensor or the flywheel are changed.
Vehicle Speed Signal (VSS)
The VSS is used, by the ECM, to control idle speed and overrun cut off. The ECM receives the signal through a hard
wired connection direct from the SLABS ECU.
For vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox, two vehicle speed signals are received by the ECM. The second signal
is derived from the main gearbox output shaft speed, and is sent to the ECM by the Electronic Automatic Transmission
(EAT) ECU though the Controller Area Network (CAN). The ECM compares the vehicle speed signal generated by
the SLABS ECU with that supplied via the CAN.
The ECM also receives transfer box information. This allows the ECM to take in to account the vehicle being driven
using low range gearing and compensate as necessary.
On vehicles with manual transmission, the SLABS signal is checked against a threshold value stored in ECM memory.
If other engine parameters indicate the engine is at high load and the VSS is below the threshold, a fault condition is
registered in the diagnostic memory.
The vehicle speed signal generated by the SLABS ECU is in the form of a pulse width modulated signal (PWM).
Pulses are generated at 8000 per mile, and the frequency of the signal changes in accordance with road speed. At
zero road speed the ECU outputs a reference signal at a frequency of 2Hz for diagnostic purposes.
Function
The input signal for the SLABS ECU is measured via pin 22 of connector C0637 of the ECM. The SLABS ECU
generates a PWM signal switching between 0 and 12 volts at a frequency of 8000 pulses per mile. For vehicles with
automatic gearbox the input signal for the EAT ECU is measured via pins 36 and 37 of connector C0637 of the ECM.
These pin numbers provide a bi-directional communications link using the CAN data bus.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-51
Should a malfunction of the rough road signal occur, the following fault codes may be evident and can be retrieved
by TestBook:
Hill Descent Control (HDC) signal
The ECM transmits throttle angle, engine torque, engine identification (Td5 or V8), and transmission type (automatic
or manual) data to the SLABS ECU to support the Hill Descent Control system. The information is transmitted via a
0 – 12V pulse width modulated (PWM) signal at a frequency of 179.27 Hz.
Function
The HDC signal output from the ECM is via pin 29 of connector C0636. The ECM generates a PWM signal that varies
in pulse width in accordance with changing throttle angle or engine torque. The throttle angle data is transmitted on
pulses 1, 3, 5 and 37. The engine torque data is transmitted on pulses 2,4,6 and 38. The engine and transmission
information is transmitted on pulse 39. A synchronising pulse is transmitted after every 39th pulse.
The HDC signal can fail in the following ways:
lHarness or connector damage
A HDC signal failure may be evident from the following:
lHDC / ABS warning light on
lHDC inoperative
lAudible warning
Should a malfunction of the HDC signal occur, the following fault codes may be evident and can be retrieved by
TestBook:
Low fuel level signal
When the fuel level in the fuel tank becomes low enough to illuminate the low fuel level warning lamp in the instrument
cluster, the instrument cluster generates a low fuel level signal. If the low fuel level signal is present during the ECM
misfire detection function the ECM can use it to check for a 'false misfire'.
Conditions
The fuel sender generates the low fuel level signal when the fuel sender resistance is greater than 158
± 8 ohms.

18-2-52 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Function
The illumination of the low fuel level warning lamp in the instrument cluster triggers the low fuel level signal to be sent
to the ECM. This signal is processed via pin 8 of connector C0637 of the ECM.
Should a misfire occur while the fuel level is low, the following fault code may be evident and can be retrieved by
TestBook.
Coolant temperature gauge signal
The ECM controls the temperature gauge in the instrument cluster. The ECM sends a coolant temperature signal to
the temperature gauge in the instrument cluster in the form of a PWM square wave signal.
The frequency of the signal determines the level of the temperature gauge.
Conditions
The ECM operates the PWM signal under the following parameters:
l-40
°C (-40 °F) = a pulse width of 768 µs.
l140
°C (284 °F) = a pulse width of 4848 µs.
Function
The coolant temperature signal is an output from the ECM to the instrument cluster. The coolant temperature signal
is generated via pin 44 of connector C0636 of the ECM.
The coolant temperature signal can fail in the following ways:
lWiring short circuit to vehicle supply.
lWiring short circuit to vehicle earth.
lWiring open circuit.
In the event of a coolant temperature signal failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lCoolant temperature gauge will read cold at all times.
lCoolant temperature warning lamp remains on at all times.
Controller Area Network (CAN) system
The controller area network (CAN) system is a high speed serial interface between the ECM and the Electronic
Automatic Transmission (EAT) ECU. The CAN system uses a 'data bus' to transmit information messages between
the ECM and the EAT ECU. Because there are only two components in this CAN system, one will transmit information
messages and the other will receive information messages, and vice-versa.
Conditions
The CAN system is used by the EAT ECU and the ECM for transmission of the following information:
lGearshift torque control information.
lEAT OBD information.
lMIL request.
lVehicle speed signal.
lEngine temperature.
lEngine torque and speed.
lGear selected.
lGear change information.
lAltitude adaptation factor
lAir intake temperature
lThrottle angle / pedal position
