EMISSION CONTROL - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 17-2-37
In the case of a catalytic converter failure the following failure symptoms may be apparent:
lMIL light on after 2 driving cycles (NAS market only).
lHigh exhaust back pressure if catalyst partly melted.
lExcessive emissions
lStrong smell of H
2S (rotten eggs).
Oxygen sensor voltages can be monitored using 'Testbook', the approximate output voltage from the heated oxygen
sensors with a warm engine at idle and with closed loop fuelling active are shown in the table below:
Mass air flow sensor and air temperature sensor
The engine management ECM uses the mass air flow sensor to measure the mass of air entering the intake and
interprets the data to determine the precise fuel quantity which needs to be injected to maintain the stoichiometric
air:fuel ratio for the exhaust catalysts. If the mass air flow sensor fails, lambda control and idle speed control will be
affected and the emission levels will not be maintained at the optimum level. If the device should fail and the ECM
detects a fault, it invokes a software backup strategy.

Throttle position sensor
If the engine management ECM detects a throttle position sensor failure, it may indicate a blocked or restricted air
intake filter. Failure symptoms may include:
lPoor engine running and throttle response
lEmission control failure
lNo closed loop idle speed control
lAltitude adaption is incorrect
If a signal failure should occur, a default value is derived using data from the engine load and speed.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 17-2-41
Following the test, the system returns to normal purge operation after the canister vent solenoid opens. Possible
reasons for an EVAP system leak test failure are listed below:
lFuel filler not tightened or cap missing.
lSensor or actuator open circuit.
lShort circuit to vehicle supply or ground.
lEither purge or CVS valve stuck open.
lEither purge or CVS valve stuck shut or blocked pipe.
lPiping broken or not connected.
lLoose or leaking connection.
If the piping is broken forward of the purge valve or is not connected, the engine may run rough and fuelling adaptions
will drift. The fault will not be detected by the leak detection diagnostic, but it will be determined by the engine
management ECM through the fuelling adaption diagnostics.
The evaluation of leakage is dependent on the differential pressure between the fuel tank and ambient atmospheric
pressure, the diagnostic is disabled above altitudes of 9500 ft. (2800 m) to avoid false detection of fuel leaks due to
the change in atmospheric pressure at altitude.
Fuel leak detection system (positive pressure leak detection type) – NAS only
The EVAP system with positive pressure leak detection capability used on NAS vehicles is similar to the standard
system, but also includes a fuel evaporation leak detection pump with integral solenoid valve. It is capable of detecting
holes in the EVAP system down to 0.5 mm (0.02 in.). The test is carried out at the end of a drive cycle, when the
vehicle is stationary and the ignition switch has been turned off. The ECM maintains an earth supply to the Main relay
to hold it on, so that power can be supplied to the leak detection pump.
First a reference measurement is established by passing the pressurised air through a by-pass circuit containing a
fixed sized restriction. The restriction assimilates a 0.5 mm (0.02 in) hole and the current drawn by the pump motor
during this procedure is recorded for comparison against the value to be obtained in the system test. The purge valve
is held closed, and the reversing valve in the leak detection pump module is not energised while the leak detection
pump is switched on. The pressurised air from the leak detection pump is forced through an orifice while the current
drawn by the pump motor is monitored.
Next the EVAP system diagnostic is performed; the solenoid valve is energised so that it closes off the EVAP system's
vent line to atmosphere, and opens a path for the pressurised air from the leak detection pump to be applied to the
closed EVAP system.
The current drawn by the leak detection pump is monitored and checked against that obtained during the reference
measurement. If the current is less than the reference value, this infers there is a hole in the EVAP system greater
than 0.5 mm (0.02 in) which is allowing the positive air pressure to leak out. If the current drawn by the pump motor
is greater than the value obtained during the reference check, the system is sealed and free from leaks. If an EVAP
system leak is detected, the ECM stores the fault in diagnostic memory and the MIL light on the instrument pack is
illuminated.
On NAS vehicles, the ECM works on a 2 trip cycle before illuminating the MIL. On EU-3 vehicles, the ECM works on
a 3 trip cycle before illuminating the MIL.
Following the test, the solenoid valve is opened to normalise the EVAP system pressure and the system returns to
normal purge operation at the start of the next drive cycle. Possible reasons for an EVAP system leak test failure are
listed below:
lFuel filler not tightened or cap missing.
lSensor or actuator open circuit.
lShort circuit to vehicle supply or ground.
lEither purge or solenoid valve stuck open.
lEither purge or solenoid valve stuck shut.
lBlocked pipe or air filter.
lPiping broken or not connected.
lLoose or leaking connection.
If the piping is broken forward of the purge valve or is not connected, the engine may run rough and fuelling adaptions
will drift. The fault will not be detected by the leak detection test, but will be determined by the engine management
ECM through the fuelling adaption diagnostics. This test can be run from TestBook.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - TD5
18-1-10 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
The MAF sensor is located in the intake system between the air filter housing and the turbocharger. The ECM uses
the information generated by the MAF to control exhaust gas recirculation (EGR).
The MAF sensor works on the hot film principal. The MAF sensor has 2 sensing elements contained within a film. One
element is controlled at ambient temperature e.g. 25
°C (77 °F) while the other is heated to 200 °C (392 °F) above
this temperature e.g. 225
°C (437 °F). As air passes through the MAF sensor the hot film will be cooled. The current
required to keep the constant 200
°C (392 °F) difference provides a precise although non-linear signal of the air drawn
into the engine. The MAF sensor sends a voltage between 0 and 5 volts to the ECM proportional to the mass of the
incoming air. This calculation allows the ECM to set the EGR ratio for varying operating conditions.
Input/Output
The MAF sensor receives battery voltage from the main relay in the engine compartment fuse box. Signal output from
the MAF sensor to the ECM is a variable voltage proportional to air drawn into the engine.
Input to the MAF sensor is via pin 5 of connector C0570 at the engine compartment fuse box. This 12 volt supply is
provided by the main relay via fuse 2 in the engine compartment fuse box. The MAF sensor receives the input voltage
at pin 3 of the sensor connector.
Output from the MAF sensor is measured at pin 11 of the ECM connector C0158. The earth path is via pin 20 of the
ECM connector C0158.
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.
lDamaged in wiring harness.
lMAF supplies incorrect signal (due to air leak or air inlet restriction).
In the event of a MAF sensor signal failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lDuring driving engine speed may dip, before recovering.
lDifficult starting.
lEngine stalls after starting.
lDelayed throttle response.
lEGR inoperative.
lReduced engine performance.
lMAF signal out of parameters.
The MIL will not illuminate in a MAF sensor failure, and the ECM will use a fixed default value from its memory.
ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - TD5
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-1-11
Ambient Air Temperature and Pressure (AAP) sensor
The AAP sensor is located in the top of the air filter housing. It provides voltage signals relative to both ambient air
pressure and temperature to the ECM. The AAP sensor produces a voltage between 0 and 5 volts proportional to the
pressure level of the air in the air filter housing. A reading of 0 volts indicates low pressure and a reading of 5 volts
indicates high pressure. The ECM uses the signal from the AAP sensor for the following functions:
lTo maintain manifold boost pressure.
lTo reduce exhaust smoke emissions while driving at high altitude.
lControl of the EGR system.
The sensor also supplies a voltage between 0v and 5v proportional to ambient temperature. The ECM uses this signal
for the following functions:
lExhaust gas over temperature protection.
lTurbocharger overspeed protection.
Input/Output
Connector C0158 pin 8 of the ECM supplies the AAP sensor with a 5 volt power supply. The pressure output from the
AAP sensor is measured at pin 10 of the ECM connector C0158, the temperature output from the AAP sensor is
measured at pin 31. The earth path is via pin 30 of ECM connector C0158.
The AAP 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.
lResistance in wiring harness.
In the event of an AAP sensor signal failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lAltitude compensation inoperative (engine will produce black smoke).
lActive boost control inoperative.
lTurbocharger boost pressure limited to 1 bar (14.5 lbf.in
2).
lEGR altitude compensation inoperative.
The MIL will not illuminate in an AAP sensor failure, and the ECM will use a fixed default value from its memory.
