Description and Operation
Engine Control Module (ECM) Description
Engine Control Module (ECM) Service Precautions
Important:The symbol ! warns you of an electric shock
hazard. To avoid shock and possible serious injury, DO NOT
touch the terminals. When disconnecting the harness
connectors, always turn OFF the ignition switch or disconnect
the battery cable.
The engine control module (ECM) is designed to
withstand normal current draws associated with vehicle
operation. Avoid overloading any circuit. When testing
for opens and shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to
any of the ECM circuits unless instructed to do so. In
some cases, these circuits should only be tested using
a DMM. The ECM should remain connected to the
ECM harness.
The ECM is located inside of engine compartment via
mounting bracket and is behind air cleaner case. The
ECM mainly controls the following. • The fuel system control
• The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system control
• The preheating (glow) system control
• The A/C compressor control
• The immobilizer control
• On-board diagnostics for engine control
The ECM constantly observes the information from
various sensors. The ECM controls the systems that
affect vehicle performance. The ECM performs the
diagnostic function of the system. The ECM can
recognize operational problems, alert the driver
through the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), and store
diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). DTCs identify the
system faults to aid the technician in making repairs.

ECM Input & Output
ECM Voltage Description
The ECM supplies a buffered voltage to various
switches and sensors. The ECM can do this because
resistance in the ECM is so high in value that a test
lamp may not illuminate when connected to the circuit.
An ordinary shop voltmeter may not give an accurate
reading because the voltmeter input impedance is too
low. Use a 10-megaohm input impedance DMM, to
ensure accurate voltage readings. The input and/ or
output devices in the ECM include analog-to-digital
converters, signal buffers, counters, and special
drivers. The ECM controls most components with
electronic switches which complete a ground circuit
when turned ON. Aftermarket Electrical and Vacuum Equipment
Aftermarket or add-on electrical and vacuum
equipment is defined as any equipment which connects
to the vehicle's electrical or vacuum systems that is
installed on a vehicle after the vehicle leaves the
factory. No allowances have been made in the vehicle
design for this type of equipment. No add-on vacuum
equipment should be added to this vehicle. Add-on
electrical equipment must only be connected to the
vehicle's electrical system at the battery power and
ground. Add-on electrical equipment, even when
installed to these guidelines, may still cause the
powertrain system to malfunction. This may also
include equipment not connected to the vehicle
electrical system such as portable telephones and
audios. Therefore, the first step in diagnosing any
powertrain fault is to eliminate all aftermarket electrical
equipment from the vehicle. After this is done, if the
fault still exists, the fault may be diagnosed in the
normal manner.

Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electronic components used in the ECM are often
designed to carry very low voltage. Electronic
components are susceptible to damage caused by
electrostatic discharge. By comparison, as much as
4,000 volts may be needed for a person to feel even
the zap of a static discharge. There are several ways
for a person to become statically charged. The most
common methods of charging are by friction and
induction.
• An example of charging by friction is a person sliding across a vehicle seat.
Important: To prevent possible electrostatic discharge
damage, follow these guidelines:
• Do not touch the ECM connector pins or soldered components on the ECM circuit board.
• Do not open the replacement part package until the part is ready to be installed.
• Before removing the part from the package, ground the package to a known good ground on
the vehicle.
• If the part has been handled while sliding across the seat, while sitting down from a standing
position, or while walking a distance, touch a
known good ground before installing the part.
• Charge by induction occurs when a person with well insulated shoes stands near a highly charged
object and momentarily touches ground. Charges
of the same polarity are drained off leaving the
person highly charged with opposite polarity.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Operation
The MIL is located in the instrument panel cluster. The
MIL will display the following symbols when
commanded ON: The MIL indicates that an emission related fault (Type
A or B) has occurred (Euro 4 specification) or engine
performance related fault has occurred (except Euro 4
specification) and vehicle service is required. The
following is a list of the modes of operation for the MIL:
• The MIL illuminates when the ignition switch is turned ON, with the engine OFF. This is a bulb test
to ensure the MIL is able to illuminate.
• The MIL turns OFF after the engine is started if a diagnostic fault is not present.
• The MIL remains illuminated after the engine is started if the ECM detects a fault. A DTC is stored
any time the ECM illuminates the MIL due to an
emission related fault (Euro 4 specification), and
engine performance related fault has occurred
(except Euro 4 specification).
Service Vehicle Soon (SVS) Lamp Operation (Euro
4 Specification)
The service vehicle soon (SVS) lamp is located in the
instrument panel cluster. The SVS lamp will display the
following symbol when commanded ON:
The SVS lamp indicates that a non-emission related
fault (Type C) has occurred and vehicle service
required. The following is a list of the modes of
operation for the SVS lamp:
• The SVS lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is turned ON, with the engine OFF. This is a bulb
test to ensure the SVS lamp is able to illuminate.
• The SVS lamp turns OFF after the engine is started if a diagnostic fault is not present.
• The SVS lamp remains illuminated after the engine is started if the ECM detects a fault. A DTC is
stored any time the ECM illuminates the SVS lamp
due to a non-emission related fault.

Engine Control Component Description
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor
Legend1. Accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor
2. Accelerator pedal bracket
3. Nut
The APP sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal
control assembly. The sensor is made up of three
individual sensors within one housing. The ECM uses
the APP sensors to determine the amount of
acceleration or deceleration that is desired. The APP
sensors are potentiometer type sensors. Each APP
sensor provides a different signal to the ECM on the
each signal circuit, which relative to the position
changes of the accelerator pedal angle. The APP
sensor 1 signal voltage is low at rest and increases as
the pedal is depressed. The APP sensor 2 and APP
sensor 3 signal voltage is high at rest and decreases as
the pedal is depressed. Barometric Pressure (BARO) Sensor
The BARO sensor is located on the intake manifold.
The BARO sensor is a transducer that varies voltage
according to changes the barometric pressure. The
BARO sensor provides a signal to the ECM on the
signal circuit, which is relative to the pressure changes
of the barometric pressure. The ECM should detect a
low signal voltage at a low barometric pressure, such
as high altitude place. The ECM should detect high
signal voltage at a high barometric pressure. The ECM
uses this voltage signal to calibrate the fuel injection
quantity and injection timing for altitude compensation.

The boost pressure sensor is located in the air
induction tubing. The boost pressure sensor is a
transducer that varies voltage according to changes in
the air pressure inside the air tubing. The boost
pressure sensor provides a signal to the ECM on the
signal circuit, which is relative to the pressure changes
in the air tubing. The ECM should detect a low signal
voltage at a low boost pressure, such as low engine
load. The ECM should detect high signal voltage at a
high boost pressure, such as high engine load.
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
Legend 1. Timing chair sprocket
2. Camshaft position (CMP) sensor
3. Rotating direction
The CMP sensor is installed on the timing chain
sprocket cover at the front of the camshaft idle gear.
The CMP sensor detects total of five projections per
one engine cycle (four projections arranged equally
every 90 ° and one reference projection on the timing
chain sprocket surface). The CMP sensor is a magnetic
resistance element (MRE) type sensor, which
generates a square wave signal pulse. Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
Legend
1. Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor
Legend
1. Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor
2. Sensor rotor
3. Rotating direction
The CKP sensor is located on the left-hand of the
cylinder block rear and it is behind the starter motor.
The sensor rotor is fixed on the crankshaft. There are
56 notches spaced 6 ° apart and a 30 ° section that is
open span. This open span portion allows for the
detection of top dead center (TDC). The CKP sensor is
a magnetic resistance element (MRE) type sensor,
which generates a square wave signal pulse.
Detecting the open span portion from the CKP sensor
and one reference projection from the camshaft
position (CMP) sensor, the ECM determines cylinder
#1 compression TDC to ensure they correlate with
each other.

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
Legend1. Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
The ECT sensor is installed to the thermostat housing.
The ECT sensor is a variable resistor and it measures
the temperature of the engine coolant. When the ECT
sensor is cold, the sensor resistance is high. When the
engine coolant temperature increases, the sensor
resistance decreases. With high sensor resistance, the
ECM detects a high voltage on the signal circuit. With
lower sensor resistance, the ECM detects a lower
voltage on the signal circuit.
Fuel Temperature (FT) Sensor
Legend 1. Fuel temperature (FT) sensor
2. Fuel rail pressure (FRP) regulator
The FT sensor is installed to the fuel supply pump. The
FT sensor is a variable resistor and it measures the
temperature of the fuel entering the fuel supply pump.
When the FT sensor is cold, the sensor resistance is
high. When the fuel temperature increases, the sensor
resistance decreases. With high sensor resistance, the
ECM detects a high voltage on the signal circuit. With
lower sensor resistance, the ECM detects a lower
voltage on the signal circuit.
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
The IAT sensor is fitted between the air cleaner and
turbocharger. It is internal to the mass air flow (MAF)
sensor. The IAT sensor is a variable resistor and it
measures the temperature of the air entering the
engine. When the IAT sensor is cold, the sensor
resistance is high. When the air temperature increases,
the sensor resistance decreases. With high sensor
resistance, the ECM detects a high voltage on the
signal circuit. With lower sensor resistance, the ECM
detects a lower voltage on the signal circuit.

6E-366 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM (4JK1/4JJ1)
The EGR valve is mounted on the intake manifold. The
ECM controls the EGR valve opening based on the
engine running condition. The ECM controls the EGR
valve by controlling the solenoid. The solenoid is
controlled based on pulse width modulation (PWM)
signal sent from the ECM. A duty ratio change 0% to
appropriate percentage is EGR valve lift control. To
open the valve, duty ratio is increased. To close the
valve, duty ratio becomes small.
The EGR valve position is detected by the position
sensor, and relayed to the ECM. The position sensor
provides a signal to the ECM on the signal circuit,
which is relative to the position changes of the EGR
valve. The ECM should detect a low signal voltage at a
small lift amount or closed position. The ECM should
detect high signal voltage at a large lift amount.
Intake Throttle Valve
The intake throttle valve is located on the intake
manifold inlet. The ECM controls the intake throttle
valve opening based on the engine running condition.
The ECM controls the intake throttle valve by
controlling the solenoid. The solenoid is controlled
based on pulse width modulation (PWM) signal sent
from the ECM. A duty ratio change 0% to appropriate
percentage is intake throttle valve opening angle
control. To open the valve, duty ratio is increased. To
close the valve, duty ratio becomes small.
The intake throttle valve position is detected by the
position sensor, and relayed to the ECM. The position
sensor provides a signal to the ECM on the signal
circuit, which is relative to the position changes of the
intake throttle valve. The ECM should detect a low
signal voltage at a small opening amount or closed
position. The ECM should detect high signal voltage at
a large opening amount.Turbocharger Description
Legend
1. Exhaust gas
2. Waste gate valve
3. Turbine wheel
4. Compressor wheel
5. Air cleaner
6. Charge air cooler (Intercooler)
The turbocharger is used to increase the amount of air
that enters the engine cylinders. This allows a
proportional increase of fuel to be injected into the
cylinders, resulting in increased power output, more
complete combustion of fuel, and increased cooling of
the cylinder heads, pistons, valves, and exhaust gas.
This cooling effect helps extend engine life.
Heat energy and pressures in the engine exhaust gas
are utilized to drive the turbine. Exhaust gas is directed
to the turbine housing. The turbine housing acts as a
nozzle to direct the shaft wheel assembly. Since the
compressor wheel is attached directly to the shaft, the
compressor wheel rotates at the same speed as the
turbine wheel. Clean air from the air cleaner is drawn
into the compressor housing and wheel. The air is
compressed and delivered through a crossover pipe to
the engine air intake manifold, then into the cylinders.
