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.).

Engine Control Module
Engine Management System
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE
The ECM is supplied with battery voltage from a 5A fuse and an ignition supply from the ECM relays through\
a 15A
fuse, both located in the CJB. A regulator located within the ECM supplies a 5V current to internal compone\
nts such
as the microprocessor unit. Other components or functions requiring full\
battery voltage are controlled by external
relays or internal switching modules.
The microprocessor within the ECM receives signals from different components and control modules and uses a pro-
gram within the ECM software to interpret the signal information and issue signals which relate t\
o how the engine
components and functions should be controlled. The ECM communicates with other control modules via bidirectional
Controller Area Network (CAN) communication interfaces.
The ECM uses the following inputs and outputs:
Inputs
• Camshaft position (CMP) sensor
• Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor
• Fuel rail high-pressure sensor
• Mass air flow (MAF) sensors (2)
• Knock sensors (4)
• Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
• Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
• Electronic throttle position sensor
• Accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor
• Cooling fan speed

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.
Failure Modes
• Sensor open circuit
• Short circuit to battery voltage or ground
• Intake air restricted
• Default value of 1 bar (14.5 psi)

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.
Failure Modes
• Sensor open circuit
• Short circuit to battery voltage or ground
• Intake air restricted
• Boosted air leak
