4.10 Engine Oil Level and Temperature
Sensor
The engine oil level (EOL) and temperature sensor is a dual
purpose sensor and is fitted in the engine sump. It combines
a switch to signal oil level and a thermistor type temperature
sensor to provide oil temperature signal to the ECM.

Figure 6C1-1 – 24
Engine Oil Temperature Sensor
The engine oil temperature sensor is a negative
temperature coefficient (NTC) type. At low engine oil
temperature, the sensor produces a high resistance, whilst
at high temperature the sensor produces a low resistance.
Legend
A Temperature
B Resistance
The ECM provides a 5 V reference signal to the engine oil
temperature sensor and monitors the return signal which
enables it to calculate the engine oil temperature.

Engine Oil Level Sensor
The engine oil level sensor is comprised of a magnetic reed
switch (1) contained within the sensor, a float (2) and a
magnetic pin (3). The magnetic reed switch is a normally
open switch, which closes when a magnet field is present.
W hen the engine oil level is within specifications, the pin on
the inside of the float is pushed up against the reed switch
(view A). W hen the oil level drops and the magnetic pin
moves away from the reed switch (view B), the switch
contacts opens.
The ECM provides a 5 V reference signal to the engine oil
temperature sensor and monitors the return signal. The
ECM only monitors the oil level signal prior to engine start-
up, and once the engine is cranking, the ECM disregards
the oil level sensor signal.
Figure 6C1-1 – 26
4.11 Engine Oil Pressure Sensor
The engine oil pressure (EOP) sensor measures engine oil
pressure. W hen the EOP sensor signal is below a certain
value, the ECM sends a serial data message to the
powertrain interface module (PIM) requesting the PIM to
turn on the engine oil pressure warning lamp.

The EOP sensor provides a voltage signal to the ECM that
is a function of engine oil pressure. It does this through a
series of deformation resistors (1), which change resistance
when a mechanical force is applied. This force is applied to
the resistors by a diaphragm on which the engine oil
pressure acts (2).
The sensor has an internal evaluation circuit (3) and is
provided with a 5 V reference voltage, a ground and a signal
circuit.

Figure 6C1-1 – 28
4.12 Fuel Injectors
A fuel injector is a solenoid device that is controlled by the
ECM. The six injectors deliver a precise amount of fuel into
each of the intake ports as required by the engine.

Figure 6C1-1 – 29
The fuel port (1) connects to the fuel rail. A strainer (2) is
provided in the port to protect the injector from fuel
contamination.
In the de-energised state (no voltage), the valve needle and
sealing ball assembly (3) are held against a cone-shaped
valve seat (4) by spring force (5) and fuel pressure.
W hen the injector is energised by the ECM, the valve
needle, which has an integral armature, is moved upward by
the injector solenoids magnetic field, un-seating the ball.
An orifice plate (6), located at the base of the injector has
openings that are arranged in such a way that two fuel
sprays emerge from the injector.
Each fuel spray is then directed at one of the intake valves,
causing the fuel to become further vaporised before entering
the combustion chamber.

4.15 Ignition Coil and Spark Plug
Long-life platinum tip spark plugs are used which, along with
the ignition coil spark plug boot and spring, require
replacement at 100,000 kilometre service intervals. The
spark plugs, featuring a J-gap and a conical seat, do not
require inspection between services, and must not be re-
gapped.
Individual pencil-type ignition coils, one for each cylinder, are
mounted in the centre of the camshaft covers, and have
short boots connecting the coils directly to the spark plugs.
The pencil coil makes use of the space available in the spark
plug cavity in the cylinder head and camshaft cover. As a
pencil coil is always mounted directly on to the spark plug,
no high-tension ignition leads are required, further enhancing
reliability.

Figure 6C1-1 – 38
Pencil coils operate similarly to other compact coils, however
due to their shape, the structure differs considerably.
The central rod core (1) consists of laminations of varying
widths, stacked in packs that are nearly spherical. A yoke
plate (2), made from layered electrical sheet steel, provides
the magnetic circuit. The primary winding (3) is located
around the secondary winding (4), which supports the core.
A printed circuit board, or driver module, (5) is located at the
top of the coil and controls the firing of the coil based on
input from the ECM.
The ECM is responsible for maintaining correct spark timing
and dwell for all driving conditions. The ECM calculates the
optimum spark parameters from information received from
the various sensors, and triggers the appropriate ignition
module which then operates the coil.
The ignition coil / modules are supplied with the following
circuits:
• Ignition feed circuit.
• Ground circuit.
• Ignition control circuit.
• Reference low circuit.
