Overview
Engine Management System
OVERVIEW
The 5.0-Liter V8 normally aspirated (NA) and super-
charged (SC) engines are managed by the engine control
module (ECM), which controls the following:
• Engine fuel metering
• Ignition timing
• Camshaft timing
• Camshaft Profile Switching (CPS)
• Closed loop fuel metering
• Knock control
• Idle speed control
• Emission control
• On-Board Diagnostics (OBD)
• Interface with the immobilization system
• Speed control
The ECM controls the engine fuel metering by provid-
ing sequential fuel injection to all cylinders. Ignition is
controlled by a direct ignition system, provided by eight
coil-on-plug (COP) units. The ECM is able to detect and
correct for ignition knock on each cylinder and adjust the
ignition timing for each cylinder to achieve optimum
performance.
The ECM uses a torque-based strategy to generate the
torque required by driver demand and the other vehicle
control modules, using input from various sensors to cal-
culate the required torque. The ECM also interfaces with
other vehicle electronic control modules to obtain addi-
tional information (road speed from the ABS control
module, for example). The ECM processes these signals
and determines how much torque to generate, using vari-
ous actuators to supply air, fuel, and spark to the engine
(electronic throttle, injectors, coils, etc.).
