OVERVIEW
A gl ow plug i s i ns t alled in t he inl et si de of each cyli nder, to heat t he combus t ion chambers before and duri ng cranki ng.This ai ds col d s tarti ng, reduces emis s ions and engine nois e when idli ng from a col d engine.
A wi ri ng harnes s on each bank of glow plugs is connect ed t o a s eparat e rel ay and fusible li nk in t he BJB (bat t ery junct ionbox) . Each glow plug i s grounded through i ts fi xi ng in the cyli nder head. Operati on of the gl ow plug relays is cont roll ed byt he ECM , which al so cont rols the i ll uminati on of the gl ow plug indicator in the instrument cl us t er.
Each gl ow pl ug is a tubular heati ng element which cont ains a spi ral fi lament encas ed i n magnesi um oxide powder. At t het ip of t he tubular heati ng element is the heater coil . Behi nd the heat er coil , and connect ed i n s eries , is a cont rol coil . Thecont rol coil regulat es the current to the heat er coil t o s afeguard agains t overheat ing.
OPERATION
There are t hree phases of glow plug heati ng: Pre heati ng, crank heat ing and pos t heat ing. The ECM (engi ne cont rolmodule) determines t he heat ing ti mes from the ECT (engi ne cool ant temperat ure) . The lower t he ECT (engi ne coolantt emperature) , t he l onger t he heat ing t imes .
W hen t he i gni ti on s wit ch is s wi tched to mode II, t he ECM (engi ne cont rol module) calculates any requi red heat ing t imesand, i f heat ing is requi red, energizes the gl ow pl ug relays i n t he BJB (bat tery juncti on box) . W hen pre heati ng is required,t he ECM (engi ne cont rol module) als o s ends a mes s age to the i nst rument clus t er, on the high s peed CAN (cont roll er areanetwork) bus , to request i ll uminati on of the gl ow pl ug indicator. The gl ow pl ug indicator remains il lumi nat ed for thedurat ion of t he pre heati ng phase, or unti l the i gni ti on s wit ch is t urned t o t he crank pos it ion, whichever occurs fi rs t. Ifrequired, the ECM (engine control modul e) keeps t he glow pl ug rel ays energi zed during cranking and for the durati on of anypost heat ing phase.
The ECM (engi ne cont rol module) moni tors the drive circui t of the gl ow plug relays for pl aus i bi li ty of operat ion, cont inuit y,and s hort and open ci rcuit s . If a fault i s detected, the ECM (engine cont rol module) s tores a rel ated faul t code andpermanentl y il lumi nat es t he glow pl ug indicator whi le t he i gni ti on s wit ch is i n mode II.

The s ens or is a Negat ive Temperat ure Co-efficient (NTC) thermis tor element . The element res is t ance decreas es as thes ens or t emperature increas es. The ECM suppli es the sens or wit h a 5V reference volt age and a ground and meas ures theret urned s ignal as a t emperature.
The ECT s ens or is important to the correct running of t he engi ne as a richer mixt ure i s required at low engi ne cool antt emperatures for efficient s tarti ng and s mooth cold running. As t he engi ne cool ant temperat ure i ncreas es , the ECM usest he temperat ure si gnal from the sens or to l ean off t he fuel mi xt ure to maint ai n optimum emis s ions and performance.
The ECM moni tors the ECT sens or for faul ts and can s t ore faul t rel at ed codes . These can be ret ri eved us ing a Land Roverapproved diagnos t ic s yst em. If the ECT sens or fail s, t he ECM us es a defaul t val ue of 90°C (194°F). The electric fan cont rolmodule i s s ent a default coolant temperat ure val ue of 105°C (221°F) and s wit ches t he cooling fan on permanent ly.
Engine Oil Level/Temperature Sensor
The engi ne oil l evel/t emperature s ens or is locat ed on t he unders ide of t he engi ne and is secured i n t he engi ne oil pan wi th3 s crews and i s s eal ed wi th an O-ring s eal. The ECM suppli es the s ens or wit h a 5V reference volt age and two wires s uppl yt he temperat ure and oi l level si gnal s back t o t he ECM.
Two t ypes of engine oi l level /t emperat ure s ensor are us ed.

This permi tt ivit y readi ng is compared t o t hat of the oi l (t aken by t he first capaci tor) and an oil level is derived.
Engi ne Oi l Level Sens or - Ult ras ound Type

To s top the engine t he s t op/s tart but ton must be pres sed. Forcibly removing t he remote hands et from t he s tart controlmodule will not s top the engine. On models wit h automat ic t rans mi ss i on, once the engi ne has st opped the remotehands et wil l not be releas ed by t he s tart cont rol module unt il the trans mi s si on s el ect or lever is i n t he Park (P) pos i ti on.
Throttle Control
The ECM controls t he posi ti oni ng of the throt t le di sc i n t he electric t hrot tl e us ing i nformat ion from t he APP s ens or and t heTP s ensor. Dat a from t he A/C pres sure s ens or, TCM, ECT s ens or, MAF s ensor and t he MAP/IAT s ensor i s als o us ed todetermine t he correct t hrot tl e cont rol .
The t wo Hall effect sens ors i n t he TP s ens or are des ignat ed 1 and 2. Both sens ors out put an i ncreasi ng vol tage as thet hrott le di s c angl e increas es. Smal l air fl ows t hrough the throt tl e requi re comprehens ive regul at ion, t herefore the vol tageri s e in one of the s ensors increas es more quickl y t han the ot her s ens or whi ch gives accurat e cont rol of t he thrott le andensure t he thrott le di sc is i n t he correct posi ti on.
The ECM moni tors the si gnal s from bot h s ens ors to ens ure they are wit hin the minimum and maximum t hres hol ds and thatt he si gnal s corres pond t o the same thrott le di sc pos it ion. If there is a difference in the si gnal s the ECM us es a defaultt hrott le si gnal calculated from t he electric t hrot tl e load, engi ne s peed and ai r pres s ure and t emperature s ignals . Thes ens or whose out put s ignal i s clos est t o t he calcul ated t hrot tl e dis c angle will be us ed as t he correct output . A faul t codewil l be recorded for the ot her s ens or and t his can be read us ing a Land Rover approved di agnos ti c s ys t em. The ECM t henmonit ors t he remaining s ens or out put s i gnal and compares it agains t t he cal cul ated value. If a difference i n thecomparis on occurs t he ECM wi ll dis count t he output from bot h s ens ors and dis abl e t he electric t hrot tl e cont rol and revert toa l imp home mode. The throt t le di sc has s prings for opening and clos ing and t he ECM can meas ure the l oad appl ied byt hes e s pri ngs for a l oad s ignal . If a fault occurs whi ch prevent s t he damper mot or from being operat ed, the s prings ret urnt he throt t le di sc to a pos i ti on which all ows a t hrot tl e openi ng large enough t o all ow t he vehi cle t o driven, but wi th reduceddri ve abi li ty.
Throt tl e Adapt ions
The ECM has a learning adapti on which al lows t he ECM t o calculate the preci s e cont rol required for t he elect ric throt t ledamper motor. The adapti on process is performed when the ignit ion i s on and t he engine is not runni ng. The t hrot tl e dis cis moved by the damper mot or to t he fully cl osed pos it ion and t he ECM records t he val ues out put by the TP sens orpotenti ometers.
If the permanent batt ery supply t o t he ECM has been removed, t hen previous adapt ions wi ll have been los t. If adapt ionsare st ored, t hen the ECM compares the s t ored adapti on val ues wit h t he current t hrottle angl e and us es an average of thes tored and current values t o create the new adapt ion value.
If the el ect ri c throt t le unit has been repl aced, t he power s upply mus t be removed from t he ECM t o eras e al l previousl ys tored adapt ion values .
Fuel Pressure Regulation
Fuel pres s ure regulati on is cont roll ed by t he ECM t o res pond t o fuel pres s ure demand and provi des s t epl ess cont rol of the
pump output us ing t he FPDM t o control t he pump operat ion. The ECM can vary t he fuel pres s ure to bet ween 55.1 l bf/in2
(3.8 bar) and 72.5 lbf/i n2 (5 bar). The hi gh pres s ure i s only us ed in ext reme condit ions s uch as heavy engine loads andengi ne s tarts .
The ECM us es t he si gnal s from the fuel rail pres s ure/temperat ure s ens or t o det ermi ne informat ion regardi ng t he pres sureand t emperature of the fuel and provi de precis e i njecti on periods , improvi ng engi ne s tarti ng under all condit ions. Theadvant age of controll ing t he fuel pump output pres s ure are t hat pump power consumpt ion is reduced, loweri ng the load ont he power s upply s yst em and reduci ng fuel cons umpt ion, improved s ervi ce life of t he pump and reduced fuel pump nois e.
• NOTE: W hen t he i gni ti on is swi tched off t he FPDM reduces t he fuel li ne pres s ure regul at ion to 29 lbf/in2 (2 bar) to hel preduce inject or leakage.
Knock Control
Knock occurs i n a cyli nder when t he fuel and air s elf i gni tes at t he wrong ti ming. This can occur eit her before or after t hes park i s produced. The fuel mi xt ure can ignit e in different areas of t he combus t ion chamber and res ul ts in a fas tcombus t ion proces s creati ng s everal s eparat e fuel combus t ions which t oget her combi ne to produce a mechani cal knockings ound. The s ounds produce a certain type of vibrat ion through t he engine cylinder block and thes e are detected by t heknock s ensors . The two knock s ens ors det ect knocks on cyl inders 1, 2 and 3 and 4, 5 and 6 respecti vel y.
The vibrat ions act upon the peizo crys t als wi thi n t he sens ors whi ch res ult s in a volt age bei ng produced whi ch is sens ed byt he ECM. The ECM, us ing the CMP sens ors and t he CKP s ensor, can det ermi ne which cylinder(s ) are knocking. The ECM isable t o fil ter t he s ignal t o det ect vibrat ions creat ed duri ng normal engi ne operati on and dis card t hem from the knockdetecti on. The i gni ti on t imi ng is gradual ly advanced unti l the knocki ng is det ect ed once agai n.
Once the ECM has determined knocking is occurri ng usi ng other input s s uch as cat al yti c convert er temperat ure for exampl ein addi ti on to the s i gnal s from t he knock s ens ors , it first retards the ignit ion t imi ng and s ubs equent ly ri chens t he air/fuel i frequired.

A t hird connector s uppl ies power and ground connecti ons to the s hift int erl ock s olenoid.
The s ens or module al so includes an opti cal s ensor which det ermi nes that t he sel ect or lever i s i n the Park (P) pos it ion. Thes ens or is locat ed behind t he module hous ing and i s not vi s ible. Ali gnment marks on the s ens or housi ng and the sens orarm mus t be ali gned when the s elect or l ever i s in the Park (P) pos it ion. W hen t hes e 2 marks are ali gned the opt icals ens or/park pos it ion i s correct ly adjus t ed. This adjust ment is set at t he point of manufacture and does not requi rere-s et t ing under normal operati ng condit ions .
Sport/Manual +/- CommandShift™
The s ens or module contai ns the hal l effect s ens ors to act ivate the s port /manual mode and als o t he s ensors which provi det he +/- s i gnal s. W hen the s elect or l ever i s moved to the manual /s port pos it ion, the magnet located in t he s elector levermechani sm i s moved wit hin proxi mit y of t he M/S hall effect s ensor on t he PCB. This provi des t he s ignal which i s receivedby t he TCM, which in turn ini ti at es s port mode.
W hen t he l ever is moved to the + or - pos i ti on, t he magnet is moved wi thi n proximit y of one of the hall effect sens orsposi ti oned ei ther s ide of t he M/S hall effect s ens or. W hen an input from eit her the + or - s ens ors is recei ved, manualCommandShi ft ™ mode wil l be ini ti at ed. In this pos i ti on a s pri ng wil l move the s elector l ever back to the centre pos it ionwhen rel eas ed. To leave t he CommandShi ft ™ mode, return t he lever to the 'D' pos it ion.
Shift Interlock
The s hift interlock s ol enoi d i s located on t he LH s i de of the s elector l ever as sembly. The sol enoid operates t wo l ockinglevers whi ch engage wi th the lever mechanis m and lock it i n t he Park (P) and Neut ral (N) pos i ti ons . W hen t he i gni ti on isoff, the sol enoid is de-energized, l ocking the s elector l ever i n the Park (P) pos it ion. If the s elector l ever i s in any pos it ionother t han Park (P), t he remot e hands et cannot be removed from t he s tart cont rol module unt il t he lever is moved t o t hePark (P) posi ti on.
The s hift interlock s ol enoi d has a mechanical connect ion t o t he s ens or module us ing a s ens or arm. Movement of thes olenoi d i s transferred via t he s ensor arm t o t he s ens or module whi ch det ect s t he movement usi ng an opti cal s ensor. Thes ens or arm movement provides a confi rmat ion t o t he s ens or module t hat the sol enoid is i n i ts i nterlocked pos it ion. Thes ens or arm has a ratchet adjust ment for al ignment of t he opti cal s ensor and i s fact ory s et and mus t not be adjust ed.
The s hift interlock s ol enoi d l ocks t he s el ect or lever in t he park pos it ion or t he neutral pos it ion t o prevent inadvert ents elect ions on the s elector l ever. The interlock is releas ed when t he ignit ion i s on and t he dri ver pres s es t he brake pedal . As ignal from t he brake s wit ch is pas s ed on t he high s peed Cont rol ler Area Net work (CAN) bus t o t he TCM and i s thenpass ed on t he LIN bus t o the sens or modul e. On receipt of t hi s s ignal the s ens or modul e logic energi zes the s olenoid if i nt he Park (P) pos it ion or de-energizes the sol enoid if i n t he Neut ral (N) posi ti on, releas ing t he int erlock mechani s m.
If the s elector l ever is left in t he 'N' pos it ion for more t han 3 s econds , the sol enoi d wil l be energized and t he s el ect or leverwil l become locked i n t he 'N' posi ti on. To move the sel ect or lever from t he 'N' positi on in this condit ion, t he footbrake mus tbe applied. This prevent s the sel ect or lever from being moved t o t he 'D' or 'R' positi on unintent ionally and the appli cat ionof the brakes al s o prevent s t he vehi cle 'creepi ng' when t he gear is engaged. Movement of t he s elector lever from t he 'P' or'N' pos it ions is al s o prevent ed i f the TCM sens es t he engi ne s peed i s above 2500 rev/mi n, even i f the brake pedal isdepres sed.
If a fault occurs wi th the s hift int erl ock s olenoid, t he s ens or module, the brake s wit ch or as s oci ated wi ri ng, an emergencyrel eas e l ever i s provided t o dis connect t he int erlock mechani sm. The emergency releas e lever can be acces sed by us i ng at ool t o remove the s elector l ever t ri m finis her from t he floor cons ole. The fi nis her can be lifted to gai n acces s t o therel eas e l ever whi ch is l ocat ed at the front t he s elect or lever ass embly and is colored yel low for identi fi cat ion.
