NOTE
Should the spring clip or the O-ring seal in the
quick connect fitting be damaged during the line
removal process, then the complete fitting must
be replaced.
Reinstall
1 Remove the plugs installed in the transmission cooler line and hose openings and wipe all exposed parts
with a clean shop rag.
• Smear clean automatic transmission fluid on
each cooler line end, then push into the radiator
quick connect fittings. As a security check gently
pull on the connector to ensure correct
engagement.
• As a security check, push and clip each
verification disc into place over the quick-
connect fittings. If difficulty is experienced,
repeat the installation process until the
verification disc can be clipped into place over
the radiator quick-connect fitting.

If the verifier disc does not clip into place,
the quick-connect fitting is not engaged,
rectify this before proceeding.
• Snap the outlet cooler line (4) in the clip (5) of
the radiator fan shroud
• At the transmission end, again clean the line
ends and proceed as detailed in step 2. As a
further security check ensure that each
verification disc can be pushed into place over
the quick connect fitting. If difficulty is
experienced, then the line has not been
completely installed. Remove and repeat the
installation process again until the verification
disc can be clipped into place over the
transmission quick connect fitting
• Ensure that all line clamps are fitted correctly
and that the lines and hoses are correctly routed
and free of obstructions
• Tighten the screw attaching the cooler lines
bracket to the correct torque specifications
• If required, top up the transmission fluid level
(cold)
• Start the engine and check for any fluid leak at
the fittings. If a leak is found, stop the engine
and rectify the leak

2 Remove the fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay, refer to 8A Electrical Body and Chassis.
3 Loosen the fuel filler cap to relieve the fuel tank vapour pressure.
4 W ith the throttle closed, crank the engine.
NOTE
The engine may start and operate until the fuel
remaining in the fuel delivery system depletes.
5 W hen the engine stops, crank the engine for another 10 seconds to ensure the fuel feed line pressure has been fully relieved.
6 Clean the area around the fuel pressure test point.

3 System Operation
The engine control module (ECM) is the control centre of the V6 engine management system. The ECM constantly
monitors and evaluates inputs from various sensors and switches. Based on these inputs, the ECM controls the
operation of the engine management system. Refer to Figure 6C1-1 – 6 for the illustration of the inputs and outputs of
the ECM.

Figure 6C1-1 – 6
3.1 Fuel Delivery System
Fuel System Pressure
W hen the ignition switch is turned on, the ECM energises the fuel pump circuit and the fuel pump runs and builds up
pressure in the fuel system. The fuel pump will continue to operate if the engine is started or as long as the engine is
cranking or running and the ECM detects crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal pulses. If the CKP sensor signal
pulses stop, the ECM de-energises the fuel pump circuit within two seconds, which stops the fuel pump operation.
The vehicle is fitted with a modular fuel pump and sender assembly that provides delivery of fuel from the fuel tank and
information on the fuel level. The fuel delivery system is a single line, on-demand design. W ith the fuel pressure regulator
incorporated into the modular fuel pump and sender assembly, the need for a return pipe from the engine is eliminated.
The electric fuel pump contained in the modular fuel pump and sender assembly provides fuel at a pressure greater than
the regulated pressure which is supplied to the fuel rail. The fuel is then distributed through the fuel rail to six injectors
located directly above each cylinder’s two intake valves.
Having a single line fuel supply system reduces the internal temperature of the fuel tank by not returning hot fuel from the
engine. In reducing the internal temperature of the fuel tank, lower evaporative emissions are achieved.
Unleaded fuel must be used to ensure correct emission parameters and engine operation. Leaded fuel damages the
emission control system and use of leaded fuel can result in loss of emission warranty. Using unleaded fuel will also
minimise any spark plug fouling and extend engine oil life.

As the fuel pressure tends to increase after
the fuel injector stops fuel delivery, record the
fuel pressure value immediately after the fuel
injector stops fuel delivery. Do not record the
higher fuel pressure value.

6.5 Alcohol / Contaminants in Fuel
Diagnosis
Description
W ater contamination in the fuel system may cause driveability conditions such as hesitation, stalling, no start, or
misfires in one or more cylinders. W ater may collect near a single fuel injector at the lowest point in the fuel rail, and
cause a misfire in that cylinder. If the fuel system is contaminated with water, inspect the fuel system components for
rust, or deterioration.
Alcohol (e.g. Ethanol) concentrations more than 10% in the fuel can be detrimental to fuel system components. Alcohol
contamination may cause fuel system corrosion, deterioration of rubber components, and subsequent fuel filter
restriction. Fuel contaminated with alcohol may cause driveability conditions such as hesitation, lack of power, stalling,
or no start. Some types of alcohol are more detrimental to fuel system components than others.
Alcohol in Fuel Testing Procedure
NOTE
The procedures detailed are not intended to be
accurate but rather, indicative of a contamination
situation.
The fuel sample should be drawn from the bottom of the tank so that any water present in the tank will be detected. The
sample should be bright and clear. If alcohol contamination is suspected, then use the following procedure to test the
fuel quality.
• Using a 100 ml graduated cylinder with 1 ml marks, fill the cylinder with fuel to the 90 ml mark.
• Add 10 ml of water to bring the total fluid volume to 100 ml and install a stopper.
• Shake the cylinder vigorously for 10 – 15 seconds.
• Carefully loosen the stopper to release the pressure.
• Re-install the stopper and shake the cylinder vigorously again for 10 – 15 seconds.
• Put the cylinder on a level surface for approximately 5 minutes to allow adequate liquid separation.
If alcohol is present in the fuel, the volume of the lower layer, that now contains both alcohol and water, will be more
than 10 ml. For example, if the volume of the lower layer is increased to 15 ml, this indicates at least 5 percent alcohol in
the fuel. The actual amount of alcohol may be somewhat more because this procedure does not extract all of the
alcohol from the fuel. To obtain an accurate determination of the amount of alcohol contamination in a given fuel sample,
then professional analysis should be sought.
Particulate Contaminants in Fuel Testing Procedure
The fuel sample should be drawn from the bottom of the tank so that any contaminants present in the tank will be
detected. The sample should be bright and clear. If the sample appears cloudy or contaminated with water as indicated
by a water layer at the bottom of the sample, use the following procedure to diagnose the fuel.
• Using an approved fuel container, draw approximately 0.5 litre of fuel.
• Place the cylinder on a level surface for approximately 5 minutes to allow settling of the particulate contamination.
Particulate contamination will show up in various shapes and colours. Sand will typically be identified by a white or light
brown crystals. Rubber will appear as black and irregular particles. If particles are found, clean the entire fuel system
thoroughly. Refer to 6C Fuel System – V6.
6.6 Crankshaft Position (CKP) System
Variation Learn Procedure
Description
The crankshaft position system variation learn feature is carried out automatically on the HFV6 engine under decel with
fuel cut. The road speed and duration of the self-learn process varies with different vehicle equipment levels such as
transmission, final drive ratio etc.
The variation learn procedure cannot be over-written, nor can it be accessed with Tech 2.

7.18 DTC P0324
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports DTC P0324 – Knock Sensor Module Performance
Circuit Description
The ECM supplies the ground to the knock sensor (KS) low reference circuit. The KS produces a signal voltage, which is
proportional to the level of the engine vibration or spark knock.
W hen the ECM detects an excessive spark knock, it retards the ignition timing until the spark knock stops.
The KS circuitry within the ECM receives, amplifies, filters and evaluates the KS signal voltage. The ECM performs the
following tests to determine if the ECM internal KS circuitry is functioning correctly.
