ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - TD5
18-1-40 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Controller Area Network (CAN) system
The 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.
The CAN system is used by the EAT ECU and the ECM for the following:
lGearshift torque control information.
lEAT OBD information.
lMIL request.
lVehicle speed signal.
lEngine temperature.
lEngine torque and speed.
lGear selected.
lGear change information.
The CAN system uses a twisted pair of wires to form the data bus to minimise electrical interference. This method of
serial interface is very reliable and very fast. The information messages are structured so that each of the receivers
(ECM or EAT ECU) is able to interpret and react to the messages sent.
The CAN data bus is connected directly between pin 32 of connector C0158 of the ECM and pin 44 of connector
C0193 at the EAT ECU, and pin 35 of connector C0158 of the ECM and pin 16 of connector C0193 at the EAT ECU.
The CAN system can fail in the following ways:
lCAN data bus wiring open circuit.
lCAN data bus wiring short circuit.
In the event of a CAN data bus failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lEAT defaults to reverse and 4th gear if the vehicle is moving, 3rd gear if the vehicle is stationary.
lHarsh gearshifts.
lSport and manual warning lamps flash alternately.
Vehicle Speed Signal (VSS)
The VSS is an integral part of the ECM's overall adaptive strategy. The ECM receives the signal direct from the
SLABS ECU. The SLABS ECU is not connected to the controller area network (CAN) so therefore is hard wired.
Vehicles fitted with automatic transmission have two vehicle speed input signals to the ECM. One signal is from the
SLABS ECU and the other is from the automatic transmission ECU. The ECU compares these speed signals.
The ECM also receives transfer gearbox information. This allows the ECM to take in to account the vehicle being
driven using low range gearing and compensate as necessary. The signals generated by the SLABS ECU for manual
transmission, and by the EAT ECU for automatic transmission are received by the ECM in the form of a PWM signal.
The frequency of this signal changes in accordance with road speed.
The input signal for the SLABS is measured via pin 13 of connector C0658 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 transmission the input signal for the EAT ECU is measured via pins 32 and 35 of
connector C0158 of the ECM. These pin numbers provide a bi-directional communications link using the CAN data
bus.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - TD5
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-1-41
In the case of a VSS failure on vehicles with automatic transmissions the ECM applies default values derived from
the EAT ECU. There is no default value for manual transmission vehicle.
The VSS 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 VSS failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lVehicle speed limiting disabled (manual transmission only).
lHill Descent Control (HDC) warning lamp on and audible warning.
Cruise control
All markets have a common cruise control system. The cruise control system, when activated, regulates vehicle
speed. The ECM controls the cruise control system.
Cruise control activation
Cruise control is a passive system, and must be activated by the driver. Cruise control is activated by switching on
the cruise control master switch located on the instrument panel. A LED in the switch illuminates indicating cruise
control is available. The driver must accelerate the vehicle to the desired speed using the accelerator pedal. When
the desired speed is reached, cruise control can be activated by pressing the SET+ switch.
Cruise control will only activate if the following conditions are met:
lVehicle speed is above 22 mph (35 km/h).
lThe brake pedal is not pressed.
lThe clutch pedal is not pressed (manual transmission only).
lThe transmission is not in Park, Reverse or Neutral (automatic transmission only).
The ECM receives the set signal and determines the vehicle speed provided by the SLABS ECU. The ECM then
maintains current road speed.
Cruise control cancellation
Cancelling cruise control enables the driver to regain control of the vehicle speed by using the accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is cancelled if any of the following conditions occur:
lThe brake pedal is pressed.
lThe RES switch is pressed.
lThe clutch pedal is pressed (manual transmission only).
lThe cruise control master switch is switched off.
lThe transmission is placed in Park, Neutral, or Reverse (automatic transmission only).
The ECM cancels cruise control operation and returns it to the control of the accelerator pedal.
The set speed will be stored in the ECM unless:
lThe cruise control master switch is switched off.
lThe ignition is switched off.
If cruise control is deactivated using either of the above methods, the set speed will be erased from the memory of
the ECM.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-21
Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The MAF sensor utilises a “hot film” element contained in the air intake duct to monitor the mass of the air flow being
drawn into the engine. The MAF sensor contains two sensing elements, one element is controlled at ambient
temperature (e.g. 25
°C (77°F)), while the other is heated to 200°C (360°F) above the ambient temperature (e.g. 225°C
(437
°F)).
When the intake air passes the heated element, it cools it down, so lowering the resistance of the hot film element. In
order to maintain the same temperature, the circuit to the heated element has to supply more current. The change in
current causes a corresponding change in potential difference to be detected in the monitoring circuit. This change is
supplied to the ECM as a voltage between 0 and 5V, where it is processed by the ECM's internal mapping to interpret
the data as a measure of the mass of air flow.
The measured air mass flow is used by the ECM to determine the fuel quantity to be injected in order to maintain the
stoiciometric air:fuel mixture for optimum engine performance and low emissions.
Normal operating parameters of the MAF sensor are as follows:
MAF output
If the MAF sensor fails, the ECM implements a back up strategy which is based on throttle angle. Poor throttle
response and reduced performance will result.
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.
lAir leak after the MAF sensor.
lInlet air restriction.
lResistance in wiring harness causing signal offset.

The HO2S can fail the following ways or supply incorrect signal:
lSensor open circuit.
lShort circuit to vehicle supply.
lShort circuit to vehicle earth.
lSensor disconnected.
lStoichiometric ratio outside the correct operating band.
lContamination from leaded fuel.
lAir leak into the exhaust system.
lWiring loom damage.
lSensors fitted incorrectly or cross wired.
In the event of a HO
2S signal failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lDefault to open loop fuelling on defective bank.
lIf the sensors are crossed over (LH bank to RH bank), the engine will run normally after initial start up, but
performance will become progressively worse as the sensors go towards maximum rich for one bank of cylinders
and maximum lean for the other. The ECM will eventually default into open loop fuelling.
lHigh CO reading.
lExcess emissions.
lStrong hydrogen sulphide (H
2S) smell until the ECM defaults to open loop fuelling. .
lMIL illuminated (NAS market only).
A number of diagnostic tests are performed by the ECM with regards to the HO
2sensors:
lHO
2 sensor and system diagnostics
lHO
2 sensor heater diagnostics
lHO
2 sensor switching period (ageing) diagnostics
lRear HO
2 sensor adaption diagnostic (NAS only)
lCatalyst monitoring diagnostic

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
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.

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.

18-2-40 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Air Temperature Control (ATC) request
The ATC request comes via the ATC switch located in the facia panel. When the driver operates the switch it acts as
a request from the ATC ECU to engage the ATC clutch to drive the system.
During periods of high driver demand such as hard acceleration or maximum rev/min the ATC clutch will be disabled
for a short time. This is to reduce the load on the engine.

+ AIR CONDITIONING, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Input/Output
The operation of the ATC request is via a switch being connected to earth. Voltage is supplied via pin 38 of connector
C0637 of the ECM, at the point at when the switch is pressed the connection is made and the ATC clutch is engaged.
The ATC request can fail as follows:
lOpen circuit.
lShort circuit to voltage supply.
lShort circuit to vehicle earth.
lWiring loom fault.
In the event of an ATC request failure, the ATC system does not work.
Should a malfunction of the component occur the following fault codes may be evident and can be retrieved by
TestBook.
ATC compressor clutch relay
The ATC compressor clutch 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 ATC compressor clutch.

Rough road signal
When the vehicle travels across rough terrain, or on rough roads instability becomes evident in the drive train. The
ECM could interpret these vibrations as a 'false misfire'. To counteract this 'false misfire' the SLABS ECU generates
a rough road signal, sends it to the ECM so that the ECM can suspend misfire detection for as long as the vehicle is
travelling on the 'rough road'.
Function
Input for the rough road signal is measured via pin 34 of connector C0637 of the ECM. The SLABS ECU generates
a PWM signal that varies in accordance with changing road conditions. The rough road PWM signal operates at a
frequency of 2.33 Hz
± 10%. The significance of changes in the PWM signal are shown in the following table:
The rough road signal can fail in the following ways:
