Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor
Engine Management System
MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor provides
a voltage proportional to the absolute pressure in the
intake manifold. This signal allows the load on the
engine to be calculated and used within the internal cal-
culations of the ECM.
The MAP sensor is mounted on the top of the engine, at
the front behind the throttle body. The purpose of the
sensor is to measure the absolute pressure in the intake
manifold and provide information to the ECM, which
will determine the injection time.
The sensor is a semi-conductor type, which responds to
pressure acting on a membrane within the sensor, alter-
ing the output voltage.
The sensor receives a 5V reference voltage and a ground
from the ECM and returns a signal of between 0.5 – 4.5V
to the ECM. A low pressure returns a low voltage signal to
the ECM and a high pressure returns a high voltage.
The MAP sensor detects quick pressure changes in the
intake manifold after the electronic throttle. The signal is
used in conjunction with the MAF sensor signal to calcu-
late the injection period. The ECM monitors the engine
MAP sensor for faults and can store fault related codes.

Mass Air Flow Sensor
MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR
Mass air flow is determined by the cooling effect of
intake air passing over a ‘hot film’ element contained
within the device. The higher the air flow the greater the
cooling effect and the lower the electrical resistance of
the ‘hot film’ element. The ECM then uses this analog
signal from the mass air flow (MAF) sensor to calculate
the air mass flowing into the engine.
The measured air mass flow is used in determining the
fuel quantity to be injected in order to maintain the sto-
ichiometric air/fuel mixture required for correct opera-
tion of the engine and exhaust catalysts. Should the
device fail, there is a software backup strategy that will
be activated once a fault has been logged.
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is integrated into
the MAF sensor. The IAT sensor is an NTC thermistor,
meaning that the sensor resistance decreases as the sen-
sor temperature increases.
The sensor forms part of a voltage divider chain with an
additional resistor in the ECM. The voltage from this device
changes as the sensor resistance changes, thus relating the
air temperature to the voltage measured by the ECM.
Because the engine requires a twin air intake induction
system, there are two MAF sensors per vehicle.
Safety Precautions CAUTIONS:
• Component should not be dropped or han-dled roughly.
• Ensure that no contamination enters the device.
• Some terminals in MAF and connector are gold-plated for corrosion resistance – DO
NOT probe.

Temperature/Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor Engine Management System
TEMPERATURE AND MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR
The temperature and manifold absolute pressure
(TMAP) sensor is used only on SC variants. The TMAP
sensor provides a voltage proportional to the absolute
pressure between the supercharger intercooler and the
intake valve and the air charge temperature. These sig-
nals allow the ECM to calculate the air charge density.
The TMAP sensor is mounted at the rear of the engine,
below the charge air cooler of the LH bank.

Engine Management SystemThrottle Position Sensor
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
The engine torque is regulated via an electronic throttle
body (‘drive-by-wire’ system), where an electronic pedal
assembly determines throttle opening.
The throttle position (TP) sensor is mounted in the inte-
grated cover plate on the throttle body assembly. The
throttle body assembly is mounted at the top front of the
engine, in a similar position for both NA and SC variants.
This value is input into the ECM and the throttle is
opened to the correct angle by means of an electric direct
current (DC) motor integrated into the throttle body.
Movement of the motor is achieved by changing the
PWM signal to the DC motor, allowing it to be operated
in both directions.
The dual-output TP sensor in the throttle body is used to
determine the position of the throttle blade and the rate
of change in its angle.
A software strategy within the ECM enables the throttle
position to be calibrated each ignition cycle. When the
ignition is turned ON, the ECM commands the throttle
to open and close fully, thus performing a self-test and
calibration, learning the position of the full closed hard
stop position.Safety Precautions
CAUTION: Terminals in sensor and connec-
tor are gold-plated for corrosion/temperature
resistance – DO NOT probe.

Engine Management SystemAccelerator Pedal Position Sensor
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR
The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor provides a
pedal position signal to the ECM. The ECM uses this
information to actuate the damper motor in the elec-
tronic throttle assembly to move the throttle disc to the
correct angle in relation to the pedal position.
The APP sensor signals are checked for range and plau-
sibility. Two separate reference voltages are supplied to
the pedal. Should one sensor fail, the other is used as a
limp home input.
The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor provides two
outputs. If the ECM detects a difference between the two
signals, a fault code is stored. The ECM will use the signal
with the lowest value for electronic throttle control.

Heated Oxygen SensorsEngine Management System
HEATED OXYGEN SENSORS
The heated oxygen sensors monitor the level of oxygen
in the exhaust gases and are used to control the fuel/air
mixture. Positioning the sensors in the stream of exhaust
gasses from each bank enables the ECM to control the
fuel metering on each bank independently of the other,
allowing much closer control of the air/fuel ratio and cat-
alyst conversion efficiency.
There are four heated oxygen sensors per engine:
• One upstream Universal Heated Exhaust Gas Oxy-
gen (UHEGO) sensor per bank
• One downstream Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) per bank.

Engine Management SystemHeated Oxygen Sensors
Upstream Universal Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen Sensors
In order to improve the control of the air : fuel ratio
(AFR) under varying engine conditions, a linear or ‘uni-
versal’ heated exhaust gas oxygen (UHEGO) sensor is
used in the upstream location. The UHEGO has a vary-
ing current response to changes in the exhaust gas oxy-
gen content.
The AFR can be maintained more precisely within a
range from approximately 12:1 to 18:1, not just stoichio-
metric. Voltage is maintained at approximately 450 mV
by applying a current.
The current required to maintain the constant voltage is
directly proportional to the AFR. A higher current indi-
cates a leaner condition; a lower current indicates a
richer condition. The current varies with the temperature
of the sensor and is therefore difficult to measure for
technician diagnostic purposes.
The upstream UHEGO sensors need to operate at high
temperatures – 750°C (1,382°F) – in order to function
correctly. To achieve this, the sensors are fitted with
heater elements that are controlled by a PWM signal
from the ECM.
The heater elements are operated immediately following
engine start and also during low load conditions when
the temperature of the exhaust gases is insufficient to
maintain the required sensor temperatures.A non-functioning heater delays the sensor’s readiness
for closed loop control and influences emissions. The
PWM duty cycle is carefully controlled to reduce ther-
mal shock risk to cold sensors.
The upstream UHEGO sensors are mounted to the
engine on the exhaust manifolds, in the mating flange to
the exhaust pipes. There is one sensor per bank. The sen-
sors are fitted during engine assembly.
