3.12 Immobiliser System
The vehicle incorporates an immobiliser system. After the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, and the powertrain
interface module (PIM) has authenticated the immobiliser control unit (ICU), the PIM sends an encrypted security code to
the engine control module (ECM). The ECM compares the received security code with its own security code, and if it is
valid, the ECM enables the vehicle to be started. For further information and diagnosis of the immobiliser system, refer to
11A Immobiliser.
For further information on the PIM, refer to 6E1 Powertrain Interface Module – V6.

Measurement is achieved by comparing the oxygen content
of the exhaust gas to the oxygen content of a reference gas
(outside air) using the Nernst principle. Oxygen molecules
from the exhaust gas will accumulate on the outer electrode,
while oxygen molecules from the reference gas will
accumulate on the inner electrode. This creates a voltage
difference across the Nernst cell, between the two
electrodes, which is the signal voltage to the ECM.

W hen the fuel system is correctly operating in the closed-
loop mode, the oxygen sensor voltage output is rapidly
changing several times per second, fluctuating from
approximately 100mV (high oxygen content – lean mixture)
to 900mV (low oxygen content – rich mixture). The transition
from rich to lean occurs quickly at about 450-500 mV (air
flow (A/F) ratio 14.7:1, or lambda = 1). Due to this, two-step
HO2S sensors are also known as switching type HO2S
sensors.

Similar to the two-step HO2S, measurement is achieved by
comparing the oxygen content of the exhaust gas to the
oxygen content of a reference gas. However, the way in
which the ECM calculates the exhaust oxygen content is
different, and results in a continual signal. This allows the
ECM to monitor not only whether the fuel mixture is rich or
lean, but exactly how rich or how lean. The wide-band
HO2S is basically a two-step HO2S with the addition of a
pump cell.
The ECM applies a pump voltage across the pump cell,
which causes oxygen to be pumped from the exhaust gas
into or out of the diffusion gap through the diffusion barrier.
W hile monitoring the Nernst cell, the ECM varies the pump
current so the gas in the diffusion gap remains constant at
an A/F ratio of 14.7:1 (Nernst cell output of 450 mV).

If the exhaust gas is lean, the pump cell pumps oxygen to
the outside (positive pump current). If the exhaust gas is
rich, oxygen is pumped from the exhaust gas into the
diffusion gap (negative pump current). By monitoring how
much it has to vary the pumping current, the ECM
determines the exact A/F ratio.

• fuel trim DTCs, or
• catalyst DTCs.
1.3 Symptoms Diagnostics
The Diagnostic System Check directs the service technician to the symptoms diagnostics if the following conditions
exist:
• a vehicle driveability fault condition exists,
• there is no current diagnostic trouble code presently stored in the ECM, and
• all Tech 2 engine data parameters are within normal operating range.
1.4 Diagnostic Trouble Codes
The ECM constantly performs self-diagnostic tests on the engine management system. W hen the ECM detects a fault
condition in the engine operating parameters, the ECM sets a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) to represent that fault
condition. The following are the types of DTCs programmed in the ECM. In addition, DTCs are classified as either a
current or history DTC.
• Type A – emission related DTCs,
• Type B – emission related DTCs, and
• Type C – non-emission related DTCs.
NOTE
Depending on the type of DTC set, the ECM may
command the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to
illuminate and warn the driver there is a fault in
the engine management system.
Type A – Emission Related DTCs
The ECM takes the following action when a Type A DTC runs and fails:
• sets a current Type A DTC that represents the fault condition,
• illuminates the instrument cluster malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), and
• records the operating condition at the time the diagnostic fails and stores this information in the freeze frame
failure record.
Type B – Emission Related DTCs
The ECM takes the following action when a Type B DTC runs and fails:
• On the first time a Type B DTC fails, the ECM takes the following actions:
− sets a current Type B DTC that represents the fault condition, and
− records the operating conditions at the time the fault sets and stores this information in the failure records.
• On the second consecutive ignition cycle that a Type B DTC fails, the ECM takes the following actions:
− activates the instrument cluster malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), and
− records the operating condition at the time the diagnostic fails and stores this information in the freeze frame
failure record.
Conditions for Clearing Type A or Type B DTCs
• The current DTC clears when there is no fault condition in the current ECM self-diagnostics.
• If there are no DTCs logged after three or four consecutive ignition cycles, the ECM deactivates the instrument
cluster malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
• Type A or Type B History DTC clears when there is no fault condition after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles.

• Use Tech 2 to clear DTC/s.
Type C – Non-Emission Related DTCs
The ECM takes the following action when a Type A DTC runs and fails:
• sets a current Type C DTC that represents the fault condition, and
• records the operating conditions at the time the DTC is logged and stores this information in the Failure Record,
and:
NOTE
The instrument cluster malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) is not activated when a Type C DTC sets.
Conditions for Clearing Type C DTCs
• The current DTC clears when there is no fault condition in the current ECM self-diagnostics.
• Type C History DTC clears when there is no fault condition after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles.
• Use Tech 2 to clear DTCs.
Current DTCs
A DTC is a Current DTC if the fault condition that triggers that DTC is present during the last ECM self-diagnostics.
History DTCs
A DTC is a History DTC if the fault condition that triggers that DTC is not present during the last ECM self-diagnostics.
