Engine Management System
Overview
WARNINGS:
• Direct injection injectors require high booster voltages (65V); special care must be
taken to guarantee proper electrical isola-
tion of the cable harness and all connectors.
The ECM outputs for the injectors are pro-
tected in case of open and short circuit.
• Due to the high currents in the injectors, strong magnetic fields are created. An influ-
ence within a distance of up to 0.2m from
the wiring harness or control unit is to be
expected. Each vehicle type must therefore
be checked to ensure that this distance is
maintained. In particular, the interference-
free function of pacemakers cannot be
guaranteed.
CAUTIONS:
• DO NOT connect test probes connected to battery positive supply to any ground pins,
as this will DESTROY the ECM.
• Use care when probing connectors for wir- ing checks. The gold plating used on low
current signal connector terminals is easy
to damage by inserting a probe.
• Do not use probes that pierce wiring insula- tion since they damage/sever wiring, leav-
ing it vulnerable to corrosion.

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:

Relays
Engine Management System
RELAYS
Main Relay
The main Engine Management System (EMS) relay is
not a main power input; it is used to initiate the power-up
and power-down routines within the ECM.
This input comes from the engine junction box (EJB).
When the ignition is turned on 12V is applied to the igni-
tion sense input. The ECM then starts its power-up rou-
tines and turns on the ECM main relay, the main power
to the ECM and its associated system components.
When the ignition is turned OFF, the ECM will maintain
its powered-up state for several seconds (or up to 20
minutes in extreme cases when cooling fans are
required) while it initiates its power-down routine and,
on completion, will turn off the ECM main relay.
The main relay is located in the EJB. The operation of
the main relay is controlled by the ECM, which provides
a ground path for the main relay coil, energizing the
relay and closing the relay contacts.
The main relay supplies battery voltage to the following
engine sensors and actuators:
• Throttle position (TP) sensor (through ECM)
• Fuel injectors
• Ignition coils
• Coil capacitor
• CPS solenoids
• All heated oxygen sensors
• Evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve
• Diagnostic Monitoring of Tank Leakage (DMTL)
Failure Modes
• Relay drive open circuit
• Short circuit to battery voltage or ground
• Component failure
Failure Symptoms
• Engine will not start
Starter Relay
The starter motor relay is located in the EJB. Operation
of the starter motor relay is controlled by the ECM,
which provides a ground path for the relay coil, energiz-
ing the relay and closing the relay contacts. When the
relay contacts are closed, battery voltage is supplied,
through the starter motor relay, to the starter module
solenoid coil.
The starter solenoid is energized and connects the starter
motor with a direct battery feed to operate the starter
motor.
Once the engine has started, the ECM removes the
starter motor relay ground, opening the relay contacts
and terminating the battery feed to the starter solenoid,
which in turn stops the operation of the starter motor.
NOTE:
Diagnose using Jaguar Land Rover approved
diagnostic equipment.

Engine Management System
Camshaft Position Sensor
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
The camshaft position (CMP) sensors are magneto-
resistive element (MRE) sensors, which have digital out-
put with zero speed recognition. They show a high signal
if the camshaft position target is directly in front of the
sensor, and low if the camshaft position target is not in
front of the sensor.
There are four common sensors, one per camshaft.
Failure Modes
• Sensor open circuit
• Short circuit to vehicle battery supply or ground
• Mechanical fitting and integrity of the sensor
• Camshaft wheel tolerances/camshaft end float excessive
• Camshaft and crankshaft misalignment/valve timing error
• Camshaft wheel magnetized/residual magnetism
• Speed signal correlation with crankshaft sensor input
• Incorrect air gap between camshaft and sensor
NOTE:
If both the CKP sensor and the CMP sensor fail,
the engine will stall or not start.
Failure Symptoms
• Ignition timing reverting to the base mapping, with no cylinder correction
• VCT is disabled

Engine Management System
Knock Sensors
KNOCK SENSORS
The ECM uses active knock control, which serves to
prevent engine damaging pre-ignition or detonation
under all operating conditions, enabling the engine to
operate without additional safety margins.
The ECM uses 4 piezo-ceramic knock sensors to determine
the point at which a cylinder is pre-detonating. Two sensors
are mounted on the intake side of each cylinder head.
Each sensor monitors engine knock by converting the
engine block noise into a suitable electrical signal, which
is then transmitted back to the ECM via a twisted-pair
cable. The signal is processed within the ECM to iden-
tify the data that characterizes knocking.
This information is compared to known signal profiles to
determine whether pre-ignition is present. If so, the
closed loop control system retards the ignition on that
cylinder for a number of cycles, after which it gradually
moves back towards its original setting.
Safety Precautions CAUTION: Terminals in sensor and connec-
tor are gold plated for corrosion/temperature
resistance. Do not probe connections.
NOTE:
Accurate orientation of the knock sensors on the
cylinder block is required to ensure correct connection to
the vehicle wiring harness.
Failure Modes
• Sensor open circuit
• Short circuit to vehicle ground or battery voltage
• Faulty component or incorrectly torqued / coming loose
• Noise on vehicle 12V supply could look like knock signal causing knock fault
• Min fault usually due to open circuit
• Max fault short circuit to battery voltage or extreme mechanical engine noise/piston slap
• ECM calculates the default value if one sensor fails on each bank of cylinders
Failure Symptoms
• Knock control is disabled and a default ‘safe ignition map’ is used
• Possible rough running and reduced engine perfor- mance
Failure Mode Behaviors
• The vehicle control system constantly checks open circuit of knock sensor. Therefore, the knock sensor
is connected to the power source via pull-up line of
the ECM.
• When short/open circuit occurs to the knock sensor signal circuit, the system detects it, sets failure flag,
and commences maximum retard control on spark
advance.
• As far as the behavior of knock sensor is concerned, however, the above-mentioned failure modes cannot
cause serious outcomes such as heat generation,
smoke emission and/or fire hazard.

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)
Failure Symptoms
• Rough running
• Difficult starting
• Poor driveability

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.
Failure Modes
• Sensor open circuit
• Short circuit to battery voltage or ground
• Contaminated/damaged sensor element
• Air leak after MAF sensor
• Intake air restricted
• Resistance in the harness, causing signal offset
• Damaged sensor element
Failure Symptoms
• During driving the engine rpm might dip (before recovering)
• Difficulty in starting or start/stall
• Poor throttle response/engine performance
• Emissions incorrect
• Lambda control and idle speed control halted
• MAF signal offset

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.
