The Td5 engine utilises a Garrett GT20 turbocharger with an electronically controlled wastegate modulator to improve
engine performance. The turbocharger uses the engine's exhaust gas to spin a turbine at very high speed. This
causes inlet air on the other side of the turbine to be drawn in through the turbocharger intake for compression. The
inlet air is carried round by the vanes of the compressor and then thrown out under centrifugal force from the
turbocharger's outlet duct. This compression of air enables a greater quantity of air to be delivered to the inlet manifold
via an intercooler. Combustion is improved through better volumetric efficiency. The use of a turbocharger improves
fuel consumption and increases engine torque and power. Exhaust noise is also reduced due to the smoothing out of
exhaust pulsations.
The rear cast iron body of the turbocharger housing connects to a port on the exhaust manifold at the LH side of the
cylinder head by three studs and nuts. The interface between the exhaust manifold and the turbocharger housing is
separated by a metal gasket. The exhaust outlet of the turbocharger is located at the bottom of the turbocharger cast
iron housing; it is connected to the exhaust system front downpipe and is attached by three studs and nuts. The
interface between the turbocharger housing and the exhaust front pipe is separated by a metal gasket.
The front casing of the turbocharger is constructed from aluminium alloy and is connected to the air inlet duct by a
metal band clip. The compressed air outlet is connected to the intercooler by a metal pipe which has rubber hose
extensions at each end attached by metal band clips.

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.

18-1-34 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Turbocharger wastegate modulator
The turbocharger wastegate modulator is located on the ancillary bracket on the engine, and is connected by flexible
pipes to the turbocharger. The modulator controls turbocharger boost pressure by varying the pressure used to open
the turbocharger wastegate. This control is vital to ensure the turbocharger does not over boost the engine.
Input/Output
The turbocharger wastegate modulator receives battery voltage from the main relay. The ECM supplies the earth path
in the form of a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal. The PWM signal from the ECM operates the modulator at a
frequency of less than 50 Hz. This signal allows the turbocharger wastegate modulator to open and close the
wastegate. This permits a proportion of the exhaust gas to bypass the turbocharger through the wastegate, thereby
regulating boost pressure.
Input voltage to the turbocharger wastegate modulator is via the main relay.
The earth path is via a PWM signal generated at pin 21 of the ECM connector C0158.
The turbocharger wastegate modulator can fail as follows:
lOpen circuit.
lShort circuit to voltage supply.
lShort circuit to vehicle earth.
lWiring loom fault.
lConnector water ingress.
lConnector failure due to excess heat.
lComponent failure due to excess heat.
lComponent failure due to excess vibration.
In the event of a turbocharger wastegate modulator failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lReduced engine performance.
lIncreased engine performance.
lLack of power.
lExcess smoke.
lReduced fuel economy.
The MIL will not illuminate in the event of a turbocharger wastegate modulator failure.

18-1-38 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Operation
Engine management
The ECM controls the operation of the engine using stored information within its memory. This guarantees optimum
performance from the engine in terms of torque delivery, fuel consumption and exhaust emissions in all operating
conditions, while still giving optimum driveability.
The ECM will receive information from its sensors under all operating conditions, especially during:
lCold starting.
lHot starting.
lIdle.
lWide open throttle.
lAcceleration.
lAdaptive strategy.
lBackup strategy for sensor failures.
The ECM receives information from various sensors to determine the current operating state of the engine. The ECM
then refers this information to stored values in its memory and makes any necessary changes to optimise air/fuel
mixture and fuel injection timing. The ECM controls the air/fuel mixture and fuel injection timing via the Electronic Unit
Injectors (EUI), by the length of time the EUI's are to inject fuel into the cylinder. This is a rolling process and is called
adaptive strategy. By using this adaptive strategy the ECM is able to control the engine to give optimum driveability
under all operating conditions.
During cold start conditions the ECM uses ECT information to allow more fuel to be injected into the cylinders, this
combined with the glow plug timing strategy supplied by the ECM facilitates good cold starting.
During hot start conditions the ECM uses ECT and FT information to implement the optimum fuelling strategy to
facilitate good hot starting.
During idle and wide open throttle conditions the ECM uses mapped information within its memory to respond to input
information from the throttle pedal position sensor to implement the optimum fuelling strategy to facilitate idle and wide
open throttle.
To achieve an adaptive strategy for acceleration the ECM uses input information from the CKP sensor, TP sensor,
ECT sensor, MAP/ IAT sensor, and the FT sensor. This is compared to mapped information within its memory to
implement the optimum fuelling strategy to facilitate acceleration.
Immobilisation system
When the starter switch is turned on, the BCU sends a unique security code to the ECM. The ECM must accept this
code before it will allow the engine to operate. If the ECM receives no security code or the ECM receives the incorrect
security code, then the ECM allows the engine to run for 0.5 seconds only. During this operation all other ECM
functions remain as normal.
The ECM operates immobilisation in three states:
l'New.'
l'Secure'.
l'No Code'.
When an ECM is unconfigured it will operate in the 'New' state. When an unconfigured ECM is installed the engine
can be started and operated once only, then the ECM has to be re-configured to either 'secure' or 'no code'
configuration depending on whether a security system is fitted to the vehicle. This is achieved by using TestBook.
Page 432 of 1672

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - TD5
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-1-39
With the ECM in a 'Secure' state, it will not function unless an alarm system is fitted to the vehicle. A 'Secure' ECM
cannot be configured into a 'No Code' ECM.
With the ECM in a 'No Code' state, it does not require an alarm system to be fitted to allow the engine to operate. If
the ECM senses that an alarm system is fitted it will not start. A 'No Code' ECM can be configured to a 'Secure' ECM
using TestBook. A 'Secure' ECM can not be configured to a 'No Code' state.
Setting up of the ECM immobilisation configurations can only be performed using TestBook.
If a vehicle stalls immediately after starting it is possible that it has been immobilised. This means either:
lThe ECM was configured as 'No Code' but the ECM is receiving a code at its alarm input pin.
lThe ECM received an incorrect code.
lThe ECM was expecting a security code but did not receive one at its alarm input pin.
Fuel delivery/injection control
The fuel delivery/injection control delivers a precise amount of finely atomised fuel to mix with the air in the
combustion chamber to create a controlled explosion.
To precisely control fuel delivery and control fuel injection, the following input conditions must be met:
lCKP information.
lInjection timing map information.
lFT information.
lECT information.
The ECM monitors the conditions required for optimum combustion of fuel in the cylinder from the various sensors
around the engine and then compares it against stored information. From this calculation the ECM can adjust the
quantity and timing of the fuel being delivered to the cylinder.
The ECM uses CKP information as follows:
lTo calculate engine speed.
lTo determine engine crankshaft position.
Engine speed and crankshaft position allows the ECM to determine fuel injection timing.
The ECM also uses ECT information and FT sensor information to allow optimum fuel delivery and injection control
for all engine coolant and fuel temperatures.
Turbocharger control
Turbocharger control is vital to ensure the turbocharger does not over boost the engine. Within the turbocharger is a
wastegate, which when operated by the turbocharger wastegate modulator will open and close a bypass valve
regulating boost pressure.
The turbocharger wastegate modulator, via the ECM, controls boost pressure under the following conditions:
lAcceleration.
lWide open throttle.
lIdle.
lOverrun.
The turbocharger wastegate modulator receives a battery voltage supply from the main relay. The ECM supplies the
earth path in the form of a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal. This signal allows the turbocharger wastegate
modulator to open and close the wastegate. A proportion of the exhaust gas can bypass the turbocharger through
the wastegate, regulating boost pressure.
