3.2 Air / Fuel Control System
The engine control module (ECM) controls the amount of air and fuel delivered into each of the engine cylinders. Based
on the various ECM inputs, the ECM switches to the following air / fuel control system mode to provide the optimum air /
fuel ratio under all engine operating conditions.
Starting Mode
W hen the ignition switch is moved to the START position and the engine begins to turn, a prime pulse may be injected to
speed starting. As soon as the ECM receives an input signal from the camshaft position (CMP) and crankshaft position
(CKP) sensor and determines which cylinder is in the firing stroke, the ECM applies a pulse width modulated (PW M)
ground to the injector control circuit. The ECM monitors mass air flow, intake air temperature, engine coolant
temperature, and throttle position to determine the required fuel injector on-time required for starting the engine.
Run Mode
The engine switches to run mode when the engine speed reaches 480 rpm after being started. The run mode has two
sub-modes called Open Loop and Closed Loop.
Open Loop Mode
The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) does not produce a usable signal voltage output until it reaches operating
temperature. Therefore, while the HO2S is below its operating temperature, the ECM switches to open loop mode.
In open loop, the ECM ignores the signals from the HO2S and calculates the required injector pulse width based
primarily on inputs from the mass air flow (MAF), intake air temperature (IAT), and engine coolant temperature sensors.
The system will stay in the open loop mode until the HO2S produce a usable output.
Closed Loop Mode
Once the HO2S reaches operating temperature and starts producing its own signal voltage output, the ECM switches to
the closed loop mode.
In closed loop mode, the ECM initially calculates injector pulse width based on the same sensors used in open loop, and
additionally the ECM uses the oxygen sensor signals to modify and fine tune the fuel pulse width calculations to precisely
maintain the ideal 14.7 to 1 air / fuel ratio.
Acceleration Mode
The ECM monitors and calculates input signals from the accelerator pedal position (APP) and MAF sensor signals to
determine when the vehicle is being accelerated. If the ECM detects the accelerator pedal is depressed and there is a
demand for the vehicle to accelerate, the ECM switches to acceleration mode. In acceleration mode, the ECM increases
the fuel injector on-time to provide more fuel accordingly.
Deceleration Mode
The ECM monitors and calculates input signals from the APP and MAF sensor signals to determine when the vehicle is
being decelerated. If the ECM detects the vehicle is decelerating, the ECM switches to deceleration mode. In
deceleration mode, the ECM decreases the fuel injector on-time, or disables the fuel injectors for short periods, to reduce
exhaust emissions and improve fuel economy.
Fuel Shut-off Mode
To protect the engine from damage or to improve the vehicle's driveability, the ECM switches to the fuel shut-off mode. In
fuel shut-off mode, the ECM performs the following:
• The ECM disables the six fuel injectors under the following conditions:
− Ignition off – to prevent engine dieseling,
− Ignition on but no ignition reference signal – prevents flooding or backfiring,
− At high engine speed – greater than the red line (rev limiter),
− At high vehicle speed – greater than the rated tire speed (vehicle speed limiter), or
− Extended high speed closed throttle coast-down – reduces engine emissions and increases engine braking.
• The ECM selectively disables the appropriate number of fuel injectors when torque management has been enabled.

W hen ECM commands the EVAP valve (1) to open, the fuel
vapours are drawn from the canister line (2) into the intake
manifold where it is consumed in the normal combustion
process.

Figure 6C1-1 – 10
The ECM energises the EVAP valve when the appropriate conditions have been met, such as:
• Engine coolant temperature is less than 20 °C at cold start up and the engine has been running longer than
three minutes and 10 seconds, or
• Engine coolant temperature is greater than 80 °C and the engine has been running longer than five seconds, or
• Engine is not in decel fuel cut-off mode and the throttle opening is less than 96%, or
• The engine is in closed loop fuel mode.
A higher purge rate is used under conditions that are likely to produce large amounts of vapour, when the following
conditions have been met:
• Intake air temperature is greater than 50 °C, or
• Engine coolant temperature is greater than 100 °C, or
• The engine has been running for greater than 15 minutes.
The EVAP purge PW M duty cycle varies according to operating conditions determined by mass air flow, fuel trim and
intake air temperature. The EVAP canister purge valve is re-enabled when throttle position angle decreases below 96%.
For further information on the evaporative emission control system, refer to 6C Fuel System.
Engine Ventilation System
The engine ventilation system contains a Positive crankcase
ventilation (PCV) valve (1) located in the right-hand
camshaft cover. A hose is routed from the PCV valve to
each side of the intake manifold which provides an even
distribution of crankcase fumes, thereby improving spark
plug reliability and a reduction in emissions.
A breather pipe is routed from the intake manifold to the left-
hand camshaft cover and provides fresh filtered air from the
intake duct to the engine.
For further information of the engine ventilation system,
refer to 6A1 Engine Mechanical – V6.

• Ensure the correct procedure for disconnecting and connecting engine management system wiring connectors is
always followed.
• Ensure that all wiring connectors are fitted correctly.
• The engine management system wiring connectors are designed to fit only one way; there are indexing tabs and
slots on both halves of the connector. Forcing the connector into place is not necessary if it is being installed with
the correct orientation. Failure to take care to match the indexing tabs and slots correctly can cause damage to the
connector, the module, or other vehicle components or systems.
• Never touch the connector pins of any electronic component, such as an ECM, as electrostatic discharge (ESD)
damage may result.
• W hen steam or pressure cleaning engines, do not direct the cleaning nozzle at engine management system

connection points to avoid possible contamination of the fuel system.
• A depressurised fuel system contains fuel in the fuel system and fuel lines that can be spilled during service
operations. To reduce the chance of personal injury, cover the fittings with a shop towel to absorb any fuel spillage
prior to performing the service operation. Once the service operation has been completed, place the towel in an
approved container for disposal.
• To avoid accidental fuel discharge, it is advisable to disconnect the battery and remove the fuel pump relay if the
fuel line between the fuel pump and the fuel rail is to be disconnected / open for an indefinite period.
• Always tighten fasteners to the correct tightening torque, and where indicated in the service procedure, follow the
correct tightening sequence, precautions and recommendations to prevent premature failure of the fastener or
component.
• After removing components, such as the upper or lower intake manifold, front engine pipe, heated oxygen sensor,
etc. always plug any openings to prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering.
• Do not use silicone based assembly lubricants as damage to the heated oxygen sensors may result.

when performing engine management service
procedures could result in incorrect results or
component damage.
• Use only the test equipment specified in the diagnostic tables. Use of other test equipment may either give
incorrect results or damage serviceable components, refer to, 6C1-2 Engine Management – V6 – Diagnostics.
