EMISSION CONTROL - TD5
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 17-1-5
Exhaust gas recirculation
The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve permits a controlled amount of exhaust gas to combine with the fresh air
entering the engine. The exhaust gas reduces the combustion temperature by delaying the fuel burning rate, which
assists in reducing the quantity of oxides of nitrogen.
On EU3 models, an EGR cooler is employed to further reduce the combustion temperature. By passing the exhaust
gas through a bundle of pipes flooded by coolant, the density of the exhaust gas going into the engine is increased.
This process further reduces the amount of oxygen, which in turn, further reduces the amount of NO
2 in the exhaust.
Recirculating too much exhaust gas can result in higher emissions of soot, HC and CO due to insufficient air. The
recirculated exhaust gas must be limited so that there is sufficient oxygen available for combustion of the injected fuel
in the combustion chamber, to do this the Engine Control Module (ECM) is used to control the precise quantity of
exhaust gas to be recirculated in accordance with the prevailing operating conditions. Influencing factors include:
lthe mass of air flow detected by the mass air flow sensor.

17-2-26 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Secondary air injection system
The secondary air injection (SAI) system comprises the following components:
lSecondary air injection pump
lSAI vacuum solenoid valve
lSAI control valves (2 off, 1 for each bank of cylinders)
lSAI pump relay
lVacuum reservoir
lVacuum harness and pipes
The secondary air injection system is used to limit the emission of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HCs)
that are prevalent in the exhaust during cold starting of a spark ignition engine. The concentration of hydrocarbons
experienced during cold starting at low temperatures are particularly high until the engine and catalytic converter
reach normal operating temperature. The lower the cold start temperature, the greater the prevalence of
hydrocarbons emitted from the engine.
There are several reasons for the increase of HC emissions at low cold start temperatures, including the tendency for
fuel to be deposited on the cylinder walls, which is then displaced during the piston cycle and expunged during the
exhaust stroke. As the engine warms up through operation, the cylinder walls no longer retain a film of fuel and most
of the hydrocarbons will be burnt off during the combustion process.
The SAI pump is used to provide a supply of air into the exhaust ports in the cylinder head, onto the back of the
exhaust valves, during the cold start period. The hot unburnt fuel particles leaving the combustion chamber mix with
the air injected into the exhaust ports and immediately combust. This subsequent combustion of the unburnt and
partially burnt CO and HC particles help to reduce the emission of these pollutants from the exhaust system. The
additional heat generated in the exhaust manifold also provides rapid heating of the exhaust system catalytic
converters. The additional oxygen which is delivered to the catalytic converters also generate an exothermic reaction
which causes the catalytic converters to 'light off' quickly.
The catalytic converters only start to provide effective treatment of emission pollutants when they reach an operating
temperature of approximately 250
°C (482°F) and need to be between temperatures of 400°C (752°F) and 800°C
(1472
°F) for optimum efficiency. Consequently, the heat produced by the secondary air injection “afterburning”,
reduces the time delay before the catalysts reach an efficient operating temperature.
The engine control module (ECM) checks the engine coolant temperature when the engine is started, and if it is below
60º C (131
°F), the SAI pump is started. Secondary air injection will remain operational for a period controlled by the
ECM (76 seconds for NAS vehicles, 64 seconds for EU-3 vehicles). The SAI pump operation can be cut short due to
excessive engine speed or load.
Air from the SAI pump is supplied to the SAI control valves via pipework and an intermediate T-piece which splits the
air flow evenly to each bank.
At the same time the secondary air pump is started, the ECM operates a SAI vacuum solenoid valve, which opens to
allow vacuum from the reservoir to be applied to the vacuum operated SAI control valves on each side of the engine.
When the vacuum is applied to the SAI control valves, they open simultaneously to allow the air from the SAI pump
through to the exhaust ports. Secondary air is injected into the inner most exhaust ports on each bank.
When the ECM breaks the ground circuit to de-energise the SAI vacuum solenoid valve, the vacuum supply to the
SAI control valves is cut off and the valves close to prevent further air being injected into the exhaust manifold. At the
same time as the SAI vacuum solenoid valve is closed, the ECM opens the ground circuit to the SAI pump relay, to
stop the SAI pump.
A vacuum reservoir is included in the vacuum line between the intake manifold and the SAI vacuum solenoid valve.
This prevents changes in vacuum pressure from the intake manifold being passed on to cause fluctuations of the
secondary air injection solenoid valve. The vacuum reservoir contains a one way valve and ensures a constant
vacuum is available for the SAI vacuum solenoid valve operation. This is particularly important when the vehicle is at
high altitude.

EMISSION CONTROL - V8
17-2-38 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Evaporative emission control operation
Fuel vapour is stored in the activated charcoal (EVAP) canister for retention when the vehicle is not operating. When
the vehicle is operating, fuel vapour is drawn from the canister into the engine via a purge control valve. The vapour
is then delivered to the intake plenum chamber to be supplied to the engine cylinders where it is burned in the
combustion process.
During fuel filling the fuel vapour displaced from the fuel tank is allowed to escape to atmosphere, valves within the
fuel filler prevent any vapour escaping through to the EVAP canister as this can adversely affect the fuel cut-off height.
Only fuel vapour generated whilst driving is prevented from escaping to atmosphere by absorption into the charcoal
canister. The fuel filler shuts off to leave the tank approximately 10% empty to ensure the ROVs are always above
the fuel level and so vapour can escape to the EVAP canister and the tank can breathe. The back pressures normally
generated during fuel filling are too low to open the pressure relief valve, but vapour pressures accumulated during
driving are higher and can open the pressure relief valve. Should the vehicle be overturned, the ROVs shut off to
prevent any fuel spillage.
Fuel vapour generated from within the fuel tank as the fuel heats up is stored in the tank until the pressure exceeds
the operating pressure of the two-way valve. When the two-way valve opens, the fuel vapour passes along the vent
line from the fuel tank (via the fuel tank vapour separator) to the evaporation inlet port of the EVAP canister. The fuel
tank vents between 5.17 and 6.9 kPa.
Fuel vapour evaporating from the fuel tank is routed to the EVAP canister through the fuel vapour separator and vent
line. Liquid fuel must not be allowed to contaminate the charcoal in the EVAP canister. To prevent this, the fuel vapour
separator fitted to the fuel neck allows fuel to drain back into the tank. As the fuel vapour cools, it condenses and is
allowed to flow back into the fuel tank from the vent line by way of the two-way valve.
The EVAP canister contains charcoal which absorbs and stores fuel vapour from the fuel tank while the engine is not
running. When the canister is not being purged, the fuel vapour remains in the canister and clean air exits the canister
via the air inlet port.
The engine management ECM controls the electrical output signal to the purge valve. The system will not work
properly if there is leakage or clogging within the system or if the purge valve cannot be controlled.
+ ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description - engine
management.
When the engine is running, the ECM decides when conditions are correct for vapour to be purged from the EVAP
canister and opens the canister purge valve. This connects a manifold vacuum line to the canister and fuel vapour
containing the hydrocarbons is drawn from the canister's charcoal element to be burned in the engine. Clean air is
drawn into the canister through the atmosphere vent port to fill the displaced volume of vapour.
The purge valve remains closed below preset coolant and engine speed values to protect the engine tune and
catalytic converter performance. If the EVAP canister was purged during cold running or at idling speed, the additional
enrichment in the fuel mixture would delay the catalytic converter light off time and cause erratic idle. When the purge
valve is opened, fuel vapour from the EVAP canister is drawn into the plenum chamber downside of the throttle
housing, to be delivered to the combustion chambers for burning.
The purge valve is opened and closed in accordance with a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal supplied from the
engine management ECM. The system will not work properly if the purge valve cannot be controlled. Possible failure
modes associated with the purge valve are listed below:
lValve drive open circuit.
lShort circuit to vehicle supply or ground.
lPurge valve or pipework blocked or restricted.
lPurge valve stuck open.
lPipework joints leaking or disconnected.

17-2-42 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Secondary air injection system
When the engine is started, the engine control module checks the engine coolant temperature and if it is below 55°
C, the ECM grounds the electrical connection to the coil of the secondary air injection (SAI) pump relay.
A 12V battery supply is fed to the inertia switch via fuse 13 in the engine compartment fusebox. When the inertia
switch contacts are closed, the feed passes through the switch and is connected to the coil of the Main relay. An earth
connection from the Main relay coil is connected to the ECM. When the ECM completes the earth path, the coil
energises and closes the contacts of the Main relay.
The Main and Secondary Air Injection (SAI) pump relays are located in the engine compartment fusebox. When the
contacts of the Main relay are closed, a 12V battery supply is fed to the coil of the SAI pump relay. An earth connection
from the coil of the SAI pump relay is connected to the ECM. When the ECM completes the earth path, the coil
energises and closes the contacts of the SAI pump relay to supply 12V to the SAI pump via fusible link 2 in the engine
compartment fusebox. The SAI pump starts to operate, and will continue to do so until the ECM switches off the earth
connection to the coil of the SAI pump relay.
The SAI pump remains operational for a period determined by the ECM and depends on the starting temperature of
the engine, or for a maximum operation period determined by the ECM if the target engine coolant temperature has
not been reached in the usual time.
When the contacts of the main relay are closed, a 12V battery supply is fed to the SAI solenoid valve via Fuse 2 in
the engine compartment fusebox.
The ECM grounds the electrical connection to the SAI vacuum solenoid valve at the same time as it switches on the
SAI pump motor. When the SAI vacuum solenoid valve is energised, a vacuum is provided to the operation control
ports on both of the vacuum operated SAI control valves at the exhaust manifolds. The control vacuum is sourced
from the intake manifold depression and routed to the SAI control valves via a vacuum reservoir and the SAI vacuum
solenoid valve.
The vacuum reservoir is included in the vacuum supply circuit to prevent vacuum fluctuations caused by changes in
the intake manifold depression affecting the operation of the SAI control valves.
When a vacuum is applied to the control ports of the SAI control valves, the valves open to allow pressurised air from
the SAI pump to pass through to the exhaust ports in the cylinder heads for combustion.
When the ECM has determined that the SAI pump has operated for the desired duration, it switches off the earth paths
to the SAI pump relay and the SAI vacuum solenoid valve. With the SAI vacuum solenoid valve de-energised, the
valve closes, cutting off the vacuum supply to the SAI control valves. The SAI control valves close immediately and
completely to prevent any further pressurised air from the SAI pump entering the exhaust manifolds.
The engine coolant temperature sensor incurs a time lag in respect of detecting a change in temperature and the SAI
pump automatically enters a 'soak period' between operations to prevent the SAI pump overheating. The ECM also
compares the switch off and start up temperatures, to determine whether it is necessary to operate the SAI pump.
This prevents the pump running repeatedly and overheating on repeat starts.
Other factors which may prevent or stop SAI pump operation include the prevailing engine speed / load conditions.
