SENSORS
The ECM opt imi zes engine performance by interpreti ng s ignals from numerous vehicle sens ors and ot her i nput s. Some oft hes e s ignals are produced by t he act ions of t he dri ver, some are s uppli ed by s ens ors locat ed on and around t he engine
The fuel rai l pres sure/t emperature s ens or is locat ed on t he LH end of t he fuel rai l. The ECM suppli es the combinedpres s ure and t emperat ure s ensor wi th a 5V reference volt age and a ground and meas ures t he ret urned s ignals for pres s ureand t emperature.
Fuel pres s ure
The fuel pres s ure s ens or i s a peizo res is tor t ype sens or. The s ensor receives a 5V reference vol tage from the ECM andproduces an anal ogue s i gnal of between 0 and 5V depending on the pres s ure sens ed. Low pres sure gives a l ow volt ageoutput and cons equent ly hi gh pres s ure gives a hi gher volt age output. The ECM uses t his press ure s ignal t o adjus t t he fuelpump module out put pres sure by s endi ng cont rol ling si gnal s t o the FPDM and for i nject or ti ming.
The ECM moni tors the fuel pres sure s ens or for faul ts and can st ore fault related codes. Thes e can be ret ri eved us i ng aLand Rover approved diagnos t ic s ys tem.

The MAF s ensor meas ures t he mas s of air being drawn int o t he engi ne. The ai r mas s is calculat ed by t he cool ing effect ofinl et ai r pas s ing over a 'hot fil m' element cont ained wi thin the s ens or. The higher the ai r fl ow, the great er the cooli ngeffect on the el ement whi ch in t urn lowers the el ect ri cal res i st ance of t he 'hot film' el ement. The ECM us es t his resi s tancevalue t o calcul ate the ai r mass or vol ume of air flowing i nto the engine.
The MAF s ensor receives a bat tery volt age supply vi a t he ECM and t he main relay. The ECM provi des a ground and a s i gnalpath for the res is tance s ignal from t he 'hot film' sens or. The analogue s ignal from t he MAF s ens or varies bet ween 0.5 and5V. Low air flow gi ves a low vol tage and hi gh air fl ow gi ves a high volt age.
The MAF s ignal is us ed by t he ECM t o det ermi ne:

Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM)
The FPDM i s located i n t he LH rear corner of the l uggage compart ment, behind t he t rim panel and is s ecured t o t he LHchas s is l ongi tudinal wi th 2 s crews.
The FPDM receives a bat tery s uppl y via t he fuel pump relay i n t he CJB. The relay is energis ed by t he CJB when a reques t isreceived from the ECM. Two wires connect t he FPDM t o t he fuel pump mot or and a ground i s via a body ground poi nt. TheECM i s connected t o t he FPDM on a si ngle wi re and this is us ed t o cont rol t he pump pres s ure out put and cons equentl y t hepump output pres s ure. The ECM us es s ignals from t he MAP s ens or, the fuel rail pres s ure/t emperat ure s ens or and t heMAF/IAT s ensor t o determine and control the pump out put.
The ECM out put s a PW M s ignal to the FPDM. The frequency of t he s ignal det ermi nes the dut y cycle of t he FPDM whi chs ubs equent ly controls t he pump press ure out put. The frequency of t he PW M s ignal repres ent s half of t he 'on' ti me of t hepump. If t he ECM out put s a PW M s ignal of 50% on t ime, the FPDM will operat e t he pump at 100% (permanentl y on). If theECM out put s a PW M s ignal of 5%, the FPDM wil l operat e t he pump at 10% on t ime. The FPDM wi ll only operat e t he fuelpump i f it receives a PW M s i gnal from the ECM of bet ween 4% and 50%. If t he ECM requi res t he pump t o be s t opped, theECM t rans mit s a PW M s i gnal at a cycl e of 75%.
If the power s uppl y to the FPDM from t he CJB or the fuel pump rel ay is di srupt ed for any reason, t he fuel pump wi ll notoperate. The FPDM i s monit ored by the ECM for faul ts . Faul ts wit h t he FPDM are st ored i n t he ECM as faul t codes whi ch canbe ret rieved usi ng a Land Rover approved diagnost ic sys tem.
