ENGINE CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The electronic control module (ECM) is mounted to
the left lower dash panel and consists of an electronic
printed circuit board which is designed as a milliliter
board assembly fitted on both sides. The routing of
the wiring harness connector at the ECM connector
are split into interfering cables and sensitive cables
in order to achieve improved electromagnetic compat-
ibility. The smaller wiring harness connector is used
for the vehicle wiring harness and the larger harness
is used for the engine wiring harness. The ECM
stores engine specific data, monitors the connected
sensor and analyzes their measurement (Fig. 2).
Its task consists in controlling the following sys-
tems in line with the analysis of the input signals:
²Fuel Supply System
²Injected Quantity Control
²Emission Control System
²Charge Pressure Control
²Cruise Control
²A/C Compressor Shut-Off
²Pre-Heating Output Relay for the Glow Plugs
²Vehicle Theft
²Air Bag
²Monitors inputs/outputs, checks plausibility and
stores faults
²Share information with other control modules
²Diagnosis
If a sensor should fail, provided the fault is not
serious, the ECM will continue to operate the engine
in Limp-Home Mode (emergency mode) using a
default value for the missing signal. The ECM
ensures that, continuing to operate the engine will
not cause damage or effect safety, otherwise a Engine
shut-off process will be carried out (Fig. 3).Fig. 1 Central Timer Module

ECM Control Strategy The engine control module
is involved with a variety of functions such as: (Fig.
3)
²Individual injector activation
²Engine idle speed control to ensure smooth
engine idling independent of engine load
²Ride comfort function such as anti jerk control:
The CDI control module detects irregularities in
engine speed (resulting, for example, from load
changes or gear shift) from the signal supplied by the
crankshaft position sensor and reduces them by
adjusting the quantity injected into each of the cylin-
ders
²Constant RPM (high idle feature) for ambulance
vehicle bodies equipped with electrical appliances
²Starter control, immobilizer, cruise control, kick
down, air conditioner
²Maintenance computer ASSYST (optional)
²Glow plug for pre-heating, post heating and
intermittent heating
²Error code memory/diagnostics, communication
interface for diagnosis and handling the fault codes
²The maximum vehicle speed is programmable
from 19±82 m.p.h. The standard is 82 m.p.h.

N2 and N3 Speed Sensors
The N2 and N3 Input Speed Sensors are two Hall-
effect speed sensors that are mounted internally in
the transmission and are used by the TCM to calcu-
late the transmission's input speed. Since the input
speed cannot be measured directly, two of the drive
elements are measured. Two input speed sensors
were required because both drive elements are not
active in all gears.
CAN C Bus Indirect Input Signals
A 2.5-volt bias (operating voltage) is present on the
CAN C bus any time the ignition switch is in the
RUN position. Both the TCM and the ABS apply this
bias. On this vehicle, the CAN C bus is used for mod-
ule data exchange only. The indirect inputs used on
the NAG1 electronic control system are:
²Wheel Speed Sensors.
²Brake Switch.
²Engine RPM.
²Engine Temperature.
²Cruise Control Status.
²Gear Limit Request.
²Throttle Position - 0% at idle, 100% at WOT. If
open, TCM assumes idle (0% throttle opening).
²Odometer Mileage
²Maximum Effective Torque.
²Engine in Limp-In Mode/Mileage Where DTC
Was Set.
BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK (BTSI)
The BTSI solenoid prevents shifting out of the
PARK position until the ignition key is in the RUN
position and the brake pedal is pressed. The TCM
controls the ground while the ignition switch supplies
power to the BTSI solenoid. The PCM monitors the
brake switch and broadcasts brake switch status
messages over the CAN C bus. If the park brake is
depressed and there is power (Run/Start) to SLA, the
BTSI solenoid deactivates.
SHIFT SCHEDULES
The basic shift schedule includes up and down-
shifts for all five gears. The TCM adapts the shift
program according to driving style, accelerator pedal
position and deviation of vehicle speed. Influencing
factors are:
²Road Conditions.
²Incline, Decline and Altitude.
²Trailer Operation, Loading.
²Engine Coolant Temperature.
²Cruise Control Operation.
²Sporty Driving Style.
²Low and High ATF Temperature.

DOWNSHIFT SAFETY
Selector lever downshifts are not performed if inad-
missible high engine rpm is sensed.
ADAPTATION
To equalize tolerances and wear, an automatic
adaptation takes place for:
²Shift Time.
²Clutch Filling Time.
²Clutch Filling Pressure.
²Torque Converter Lock-Up Control.
Adaptation data may be stored permanently and to
some extent, can be diagnosed.
Driving Style Adaptation
The shift point is modified in steps based on the
information from the inputs. The control module
looks at inputs such as:
²vehicle acceleration and deceleration (calculated
by the TCM).
²rate of change as well as the position of the
throttle pedal (fuel injection information from the
ECM).
²lateral acceleration (calculated by the TCM).
²gear change frequency (how often the shift
occurs).
Based on how aggressive the driver is, the TCM
moves up the shift so that the present gear is held a
