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)

Crankshaft Position Sensor
Engine Management System
The reluctor is manufactured to have a ‘tooth’ pattern
based on 60 – 2 pattern, where there are 58 teeth in total
at 6° intervals. The two teeth are removed to provide a
hardware reference mark, with a centerline that is 21°
BTDC on cylinder 1, RH bank. The signal voltage can be as low as 0.1V at low engine
speeds and up to 100V at high engine speeds. The ECM
does not react to the output voltage (unless the voltage is
extremely low or high); instead it measures the time
intervals between each pulse (signal frequency).
Safety Precautions CAUTIONS:
• Before installing the CKP sensor, check that no ferrous material has been attracted to
the device by its internal magnet.
• Ensure that the air gap is correct.
• Due to the location and orientation of the sensor, ensure that it is not damaged during
engine installation or by any debris that
may be picked up from the road. Failure Modes
• Sensor assembly loose
• Incorrect air gap – Nominal air gap 1.5mm (This is normally pre-set unless there is damage to the
mounting)
• Short/open circuit
• Mounting and integrity of the sensor
• Water/coolant ingress within connector
• Inability of the ECM to detect the software reference point
• Ferrous contamination of CKP sensor pin/reluctor
Failure Symptoms
• Engine will start picking up a signal from the CMP sensors (long crank time)
• Default 3000rpm (limp home mode)

Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
Engine Management System
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a nega-
tive temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor, used to
monitor engine coolant temperature.
The ECT sensor is vital to the correct running of the
engine, as a richer mixture is required at lower block
temperatures for good quality starts and smooth running,
leaning off as the temperature rises to maintain emis-
sions and performance.
The sensor has a twist-lock design with a latch mecha-
nism, and is located at the rear of the engine in the water
crossover pipe, between the two heads.
Failure Modes
• Uses engine-off time and MAF for calculation
Failure Symptoms
• Poor cold and hot start
• Poor driveability
• Cooling fans on permanently
Sensor Resistance vs. Coolant Temperature
NOTE:
If the ECT sensor fails, the ECM uses a default
value. The electric fan control module is sent a default
coolant temperature value and switches the cooling
fan(s) on permanently.
The voltages shown represent the signal processed by
the ECM. When a defective coolant sensor is detected,
the coolant value defaults to 40°C (104°F) and remains
fixed until the ECM is powered down.
