DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-1-7
Engine Control Module (ECM)
The ECM is made from aluminium alloy and is located in the engine compartment on the RH side inner wing. The
ECM has an interface of 72 pins via two connectors providing both input information and output control. The ECM
receives information from the sensors to inform it of the current state of the engine. The ECM then refers this
information to stored values in its memory and makes any changes to the operation of the engine as necessary via
the actuators. 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 throughout all operating conditions. There is no ECM self test,
although the ECM saves driveability data from the last journey. Power down of the ECM can take between 10 seconds
and 10 minutes dependent on coolant temperature.

18-1-14 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor
The ECT sensor is located in the coolant outlet elbow on the top of the engine. It provides the ECM with engine coolant
temperature information. The ECM uses this ECT information for the following functions:
lFuelling calculations.
lTemperature gauge.
lTo limit engine operation if coolant temperature is too high.
lCooling fan operation.
lGlow plug operating time.
The ECT works as an NTC sensor. As temperature rises, the resistance in the sensor decreases, as temperature
decreases, the resistance in the sensor increases. The ECM compares the voltage signal to stored values and
compensates fuel delivery to ensure optimum driveability at all times.
Input/Output
The inputs and outputs for the ECT are earth and signal out.
The ECT signal is measured at pin 7 of the ECM connector C0158. The earth path is via pin 18 of ECM connector
C0158.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-1-15
The ECT sensor can fail the following ways or supply incorrect signal:
lSensor open circuit.
lShort circuit to vehicle supply.
lShort circuit to earth.
lIncorrect mechanical fitting.
lSignal fixed above 40
°C (104 °F) not detected.
lSignal fixed below 40
°C (104 °F) not detected.
In the event of an ECT sensor signal failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lDifficult cold start.
lDifficult hot start.
lDriveability concerns.
lInstrument pack temperature warning illuminated.
lTemperature gauge reads excessively hot.
lTemperature gauge reads excessively cold.
In the event of component failure the ECM calculates coolant temperature from the fuel temperature sensor signal. If
this occurs, the limit engine operation if coolant temperature is too high becomes inoperative.
The MIL will not illuminate in an ECT sensor failure.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-1-31
The purpose of the glow plugs is:
lAssist cold engine start.
lReduce exhaust emissions at low engine load/speed.
The main part of the glow plug is a tubular heating element that protrudes into the combustion chamber of the engine.
The heating element contains a spiral filament that is encased in magnesium oxide powder. At the tip of the tubular
heating element is the heater coil. Behind the heater coil and connected in series is a control coil. The control coil
regulates the heater coil to ensure that it does not overheat and cause a possible failure. The glow plug circuit has its
own control relay located in the engine compartment fuse box.
Pre-heat is the length of time the glow plugs operate prior to engine cranking. The ECM controls the pre-heat time of
the glow plugs based on battery voltage and coolant temperature information via the glow plug relay.
Post-heat is the length of time the glow plugs operate after the engine starts. The ECM controls the post-heat time
based on ECT information. If the ECT fails the ECM will operate pre/post-heat time strategies with default values from
its memory. The engine will be difficult to start.
Input/Output
The glow plugs receive voltage from the glow plug relay that is controlled by the ECM. The ECM provides the earth
path for the relay coil closing the relay contacts and supplying the glow plugs with battery voltage. The supply voltage
heats the coils to approximately 1000
°C (1832 °F). The glow plug circuit is wired in parallel, the body of each glow
plug is screwed directly into the engine block which provides each glow plug with an earth path.
The glow plugs can fail in the following ways:
lHeater coil open circuit.
lControl coil open circuit.
lPoor earth quality.
lShort circuit to vehicle supply.
lShort circuit to vehicle earth.
lWiring loom fault.
lRelay windings open circuit.
lIncorrect relay fitted.
In the event of a glow plug failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lDifficult starting.
lExcessive smoke emissions after engine start.

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.
