ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - TD5
18-1-6 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description
General
An engine control module (ECM) controls the five-cylinder direct injection diesel engine, and works on the drive by
wire principle. This means there is no throttle cable, the ECM controls the drivers needs via a signal from the Throttle
Position (TP) sensor on the throttle pedal.
The ECM is a full authoritative diesel specific microprocessor that also incorporates features for cruise control and air
conditioning control. In addition, the ECM supplies output control for the exhaust gas recirculation and turbocharger
boost pressure. The ECM has a self-diagnostic function, which is able to provide backup strategies for most sensor
failures.
The ECM processes information from the following input sources:
lMass air flow sensor.
lAmbient air pressure sensor.
lManifold absolute pressure/inlet air temperature sensor.
lEngine coolant temperature sensor.
lCrankshaft speed and position sensor.
lThrottle position sensor.
lFuel temperature sensor.
lAir conditioning request.
lAir conditioning fan request.
lBrake pedal switch.
lClutch switch.
lCruise control master switch.
lCruise control SET+ switch.
lCruise control RES switch.
lHigh/low ratio switch.
The input from the sensors constantly updates the ECM with the current operating condition of the engine. Once the
ECM has compared current information with stored information within its memory, it can make any adjustment it
requires to the operation of the engine via the following:
lAir conditioning clutch relay.
lAir conditioning cooling fan relay.
lElectronic vacuum regulator solenoid.
lMalfunction indicator lamp.
lFuel pump relay.
lGlow plug warning lamp.
lGlow plugs.
lFuel injectors.
lMain relay.
lTurbocharger wastegate modulator.
lTemperature gauge.
The ECM interfaces with the following:
lElectronic Automatic Transmission (EAT).
lSelf Levelling and Anti-lock Brakes System (SLABS).
lSerial communication link.
lInstrument cluster.
lBody Control Unit (BCU).

18-1-20 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Electronic Unit Injector (EUI)
The EUI's are located in the top of the engine inside the camshaft cover. There is one EUI per cylinder. They inject
finely atomised fuel directly into the combustion chamber. Each EUI has its own electrical connection, which is linked
to a common harness also located under the camshaft cover. Each of the EUI has its own 5 letter grading code. This
code is used so that greater EUI precision is achieved.
The ECM provides the earth path for the EUI. Using an injection-timing map within its memory and information from
the crankshaft speed and position sensor the ECM is able to determine precise crankshaft angle. When the ECM
determines the crankshaft speed and position it closes the spill valve within the EUI. Fuel pressure rises inside the
EUI to a predetermined limit of, 1500 bar (22,000 lbf.in
2) on pre EU3 models, and 1750 bar (25,500 lbf.in2) on EU3
models, at this limit the pintle lifts off its seat allowing the fuel to inject into the combustion chamber. The ECM de-
energises the spill valve to control the quantity of fuel delivered. This causes a rapid pressure drop within the EUI
which allows the EUI return spring to re-seat the pintle ending fuel delivery.
The electrical circuit that drives the EUI works in two stages depending on battery voltage. If battery voltage is
between 9 and 16 volts the EUI's will provide normal engine performance. If however battery voltage falls to between
6 and 9 volts, on pre EU3 models, EUI operation is restricted to a limit of 2100 rev/min, on EU3 models EUI operation
is restricted to idle.
If the vehicle is fitted with a new ECM, the EUI grades for that specific vehicle must be downloaded to the new ECM
using TestBook. In the event of the engine failing to rev above 3000 rev/min it is probable that the EUI grading has
not been completed.
Input/Output
Input to the EUI takes the form of both mechanical and electrical signals. The mechanical input to the EUI is diesel
fuel via the fuel pump operating at approximately 4 to 5 bar (58 to 72 lbf.in
2). Each of the EUI's is operated
mechanically by an overhead camshaft to enable injection pressures of up to 1500 bar (22,000 lbf.in2) on pre EU3
models, and 1750 bar (25,500 lbf.in2) on EU3 models, to be achieved. The ECM controls the EUI's to ensure that fuel
delivery is precise and as intended.

18-1-24 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Fuel pump relay
The fuel pump relay is located in the engine compartment fuse box. It switches on the fuel pump to draw fuel from
the fuel tank to the electronic unit injectors (EUI).
Input/Output
The fuel pump relay is a 4 pin normally open relay. Voltage input to the fuel pump relay comes from the main relay
switching contacts. When the main relay is energised the switching contacts close and the fuel pump relay windings
are supplied a voltage. The ECM provides the earth for the relay windings to close the relay contacts and operate the
fuel lift pump. The fuel pump relay switching contacts are supplied voltage via fuse 10 located in the engine
compartment fuse box. Output from these switching contacts is supplied directly to the fuel pump. When the ECM
interrupts the earth the return spring in the relay pulls the contacts apart and the fuel lift pump stops operating. The
earth path is via pin 5 of ECM connector C0658.
The fuel pump 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 a fuel pump relay failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lEngine will crank but not start.
lIf the engine is running it will stop.
The MIL will not illuminate in a fuel pump relay failure.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-1-25
Main relay
The main relay is located in the engine compartment fuse box and supplies battery voltage to the following:
lECM.
lMAF.
lFuel pump relay.
lCruise control master switch.
lCruise control RES switch.
lCruise control SET+ switch.
It is a 4 pin normally open relay and must be energised to provide voltage to the ECM.
Input/Output
The earth path for the main relay is via a transistor within the ECM. When the earth path is completed, the main relay
energises to supply battery voltage to the ECM. Interrupting this earth path de-energises the main relay, preventing
battery voltage reaching the ECM.
Input to the main relay is via pin 1 of connector C0632, located at the engine compartment fuse box. Output from the
main relay is via fuse 1 to the ECM connector C0658 pins 3, 22 and 27. The earth path is via pin 21 of ECM connector
C0658.
The main 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 a main relay failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lEngine will crank but not start.
lIf the engine is running it will stop.
For the ECM start up to take place the ignition 'on' (position II) voltage must be greater than 6.0 volts.

Engine Control Module (ECM)
The engine control module (ECM) is located on the RH side A post below the face panel inside the vehicle. It has a
cast aluminium case and is mounted on a bracket. The ECM has 5 independent connectors totalling 134 pins.
The ECM is available in 4 variants:
lNAS.
lNAS low emission vehicles.
lUK/ Europe/ Japan/ Australia.
lROW/ Gulf.
The ECM uses a 'flash' electronic erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM). This enables the ECM to
be externally configured, to ensure that the ECM can be updated with any new information, this also allows the ECM
to be configured with market specific data. TestBook must be used to configure replacement ECM's. The ECM can
be reconfigured up to 16 times to meet changing specifications and legislation.
The ECM memorises the positions of the crankshaft and the camshaft when the engine has stopped via the CKP and
CMP sensors. This allows immediate sequential fuel injection and ignition timing during cranking. This information is
lost if battery voltage is too low (i.e. flat battery). So the facility will be disabled for the first engine start.
