Engine Management – V6 – General Information Page 6C1-1–3
1 General Information
The V6 engine management system
incorporates functions and components that
could cause personal injury or vehicle
damage. Refer to 6C1-2 Engine Management –
V6 – Diagnostics, and 6C1-3 Engine
Management – V6 – Service Operations,
before attempting any diagnosis or repairs.
1.1 Introduction
The V6 engine management system is designed to improve engine performance and increase vehicle safety while
meeting the stringent Euro 3 vehicle emission standard. This is achieved by the introduction of the following engine
management sub-systems and components:
• Throttle actuator control (TAC) System – the TAC system allows the engine control module (ECM) to electronically
control the throttle plate opening eliminating the need for the following components:
• mechanical link between the throttle plate and accelerator pedal,
• cruise control module, and
• idle air control motor.
Refer to 3.5 Throttle Actuator Control System for details of the TAC System operation and to 3.6 Cruise Control System for details of the cruise control operation.
This feature results in improved driveability, better fuel economy and emission control.
• W ide band heated oxygen sensor provides a more accurate measurement of the oxygen concentration in the
exhaust gas. Refer to 4.14 Heated Oxygen Sensors.
• Dual spray fuel injectors are now used. The use of this spray pattern is used in engines with two intake valves per
cylinder. The dual spray is achieved by having two openings in the spray orifice disc that are arranged in such a
way that two fuel sprays result, being aimed at each intake valve port. Refer to 4.12 Fuel Injectors.
• Pencil Coil – allows the ignition coil to be fitted directly on the spark plug eliminating the need for spark plug wires.
Refer to 4.15 Ignition Coil and Spark Plug.
The engine management system has a self diagnostic capability, as well as connections to enable diagnosis of faults. If
the ECM recognises operational problems it can alert the driver via the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) in the instrument
cluster. The ECM also interfaces with other systems in the vehicle as required.
For further information on the air-conditioning system refer to 2A Heater and Air-conditioning,
For the location of fuses, fusible links and relays, refer to 8A Electrical-Body and Chassis.
1.2 Emission Control
ADR 79/01 Emissions Standards
MY2006 I190 Rodeo has been configured to comply with Australian Design Rule 79/01, that adopts the technical
requirements of the European Council Directive 98/69/EC. Commonly referred to as “Euro 3”, the new legislation
modifies the exhaust emissions, compared to the existing ADR 37/01 (or ‘Euro 2’) vehicle emissions standards.
Australian Design Rule 79/01 implements the 'Euro 3' exhaust and evaporative emissions requirements for petrol fuelled
passenger cars, forward control vehicles and passenger off-road vehicles with a gross vehicle mass (GVM) up to 3.5
tonnes. All new vehicles within these categories and first registered from January 1, 2006 must comply with ADR 79/01.
The next table shows a comparison between the existing ADR 37/01 (‘Euro 2’) and ADR 79/01 (‘Euro 3’) Hydrocarbons

• Do not start the engine if the battery terminal is not properly secured to the battery.
• Do not disconnect or reconnect the following while the ignition is switched on or when the engine is running:
− Any engine management system component electrical wiring connector, or
− Battery terminal leads.
• Ensure the correct procedure for disconnecting and connecting engine management system electrical wiring
connectors is always followed. For information on the correct procedure for disconnecting and connecting specific
wiring connectors, refer to 6C1-3 Engine Management – V6 – Service Operations.
• Ensure that all wiring harness connectors are fitted correctly.
• W hen steam or pressure cleaning engines, do not direct the cleaning nozzle at engine management system
components.
• Do not clear any DTCs unless instructed.
• The fault must be present when using the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) diagnostic tables. Otherwise,
misdiagnosis or replacement of good parts may occur.
• Do not touch the ECM connector pins or soldered components on the ECM circuit board to prevent ECM
Electrostatic Discharge damage. Refer to 8A Electrical - Body and Chassis for information on Electrostatic
Discharge.
• Use only the test equipment specified in the diagnostic tables as other test equipment may give incorrect results or
damage good components.
• The ECM is designed to withstand normal current draw associated with vehicle operations. However, the following
fault conditions or incorrect test procedure may overload the ECM internal circuit and damage the ECM:
− A short to voltage fault condition in any of the ECM low reference circuits may cause internal ECM and / or
sensor damage. Therefore, any short to voltage fault condition in the ECM low reference circuits must be
rectified before replacing a faulty component.
− A short to ground fault condition in any of the ECM 5 V reference circuits may cause internal ECM and / or
sensor damage. Therefore, any short to ground fault condition in the ECM 5 V reference circuits must be
rectified before replacing a faulty component.
− W hen using a test lamp to test an electrical circuit, do not use any of the ECM low reference circuits or 5 V
reference circuits as a reference point. Otherwise, excessive current draw from the test lamp may damage
the ECM.
• Disregard DTCs that set while performing the following diagnostic Steps:
− Using Tech 2 actuator tests, or
− Disconnecting an engine management system sensor connector then switching on the ignition.
• After completing the required diagnostics and service operations, road test the vehicle to ensure correct engine
management system operation.
4.3 Preliminary Checks
The preliminary checks are a set of visual and physical checks or inspections that may quickly identify engine
management system fault condition.
• Refer to the appropriate Service Techlines for relevant information regarding the fault condition.
• Ensure the battery is fully charged.
• Inspect the battery connections for corrosion or a loose terminal.
• Ensure that all engine management system related fuses are serviceable.
• Inspect for incorrect aftermarket theft deterrent devices, lights or mobile phone installation.
• Ensure there is no speaker magnet positioned too close to any electronic module that contains relays.
• Inspect the engine wiring harness for proper connections, pinches or cuts.

Additional Information
• Use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit for any test that requires probing the ECM harness connector or a
component harness connector.
• Inspect the ignition coils for aftermarket devices. An aftermarket device connected to the ignition coil circuits, may
cause a condition with the ignition coils.

• To assist diagnosis, refer to 3 W iring Diagrams and Connector Charts in this Section, for the system wiring
diagram and connector charts.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
4 The ignition coils for each bank are fused separately. If a fuse opens or the ignition 1 voltage circuit opens between the fuse and the splice, all the ignition coils for one bank of the engine would be inoperative. If the ground
circuit opens at the engine block, the ignition coils would be inoperative for one bank of the engine.
5 This step tests for an open or a high resistance in the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the ignition coil. If the DMM does not display near battery voltage there is an open or a high resistance in the circuit.
6 This step determines if the ground circuit is open. If the circuit is open, the ignition coils would be inoperative for one bank of the engine.
7 This step determines if the ignition 1 voltage circuit is shorted to ground. If the fuse is open, the ignition coils would be inoperative for one bank of the engine.
