Getting Help
If you require help while learning to use the system, or whenever a reminder is required when
prompted for a yes/no answer. Say ‘Help’ into t he microphone. The system includes help prompts in
every menu. Alternatively if you say ‘repea t’ the system will repeat the question.


Connecting A Phone
A connection between the vehicle Bluetooth syst em and a phone is called a ‘Paired Link’.

When a paired link is set up the Bluetooth system remembers the phone’s ID. Once the Bluetooth
system and the phone are paired, the Bluetooth system automatically connects to your phone every
time you start your vehicle or powe r up the vehicle’s Bluetooth system.

This system supports paired links with up to four phones.

Note: The process of initiating a Bluetooth connection with a phone varies per phone manufacturer.
For more information refer to the user’s guide for your mobile phone.

Use the following procedure only if there are no handsets paired to the system:
1. Press the button. When prompted say ‘Pair phone’. The system responds with ‘Set your
phone in scan mode and enter 1234 when prompted for the ‘passcode’.
2. When the phone displays ‘Aston Martin’ sele ct the device. The phone displays the passcode
entry screen.
3. Enter the passkey (1234). The phone displays ‘P IN verified’ and the system will say ‘Pairing
complete. Connection in progress’.
Note: Some phones will ask you to a ccept the BT link. Enter Yes.
Upon successful completion the system say’s ‘Co nnection is complete. Phone ready for use’.

To pair additional phones to the system:
1. Press the button. When prompted say ‘Set-up menu’. The system responds with ‘Set-up
menu. Please say a command’.
2. Say ‘Pair phone’. The system responds with ‘Set your phone in scan mode and enter 1234
when prompted for the passcode’.
3. When the phone displays ‘Aston Martin’, select the device. The phone will display the
passcode entry screen.
4. Enter the passkey value provided by the system . The phone confirms that the PIN is verified
and the system will say ‘Pairing complete. Connection in progress’.
Note: Some phones will ask you to a ccept the BT link. Enter Yes.
Upon successful completion the sy stem will say ‘Connection is complete. Phone ready for use’.

The Bluetooth system will not recognise a mobile p hone even if it is ‘paired’, if the mobile phone
does not have Bluetooth enabled. For more information refer to the user’s guide for your mobile
phone.

Electronics Training Programme
The procedure to change the selected language is:
Warning: When changing the system’s language, all contac ts in the Bluetooth contacts list are deleted.
1. Press and hold the button while turning on the vehicle ignition. Continue holding the
button for at least 10 seconds.
The system enters language selection mode and re sponds with ‘Language Menu. Press volume up or
down to change language’.
2. Use the volume Up / Down button to scroll through the language choices. As a language appears, the system plays the prompt for that la nguage (For example: ‘English. To choose this
language, restart the vehicle’.).
When the desired language has been selected, turn t he vehicle ignition to 0 (off). Wait for 6 seconds,
then switch the ignition to II (on), the new language is then loaded.

deviant accelerations of this type are considered noise. Noise-free deviant acceleration exceeding a given
threshold is labeled a misfire.

The number of misfires are counted over a continuous 200 revolution and 1000 (or 4000)
revolution period. (The revolution counters are not reset if the misfire monitor is temporarily disabled such
as for negative torque mode, etc.) At the end of the evaluation period, the total misfire rate and the misfire
rate for each individual cylinder is computed. The misfire rate evaluated every 200 revolution period
(Type A) and compared to a threshold value obtaine d from an engine speed/load table. This misfire
threshold is designed to prevent damage to the cat alyst due to sustained excessive temperature. If the
misfire threshold is exceeded and the catalyst temperature model calculates a catalyst mid-bed temperature
that exceeds the catalyst damage threshold, the MIL blinks at a 1 Hz rate while the misfire is present. If the
threshold is again exceeded on a subsequent driving cy cle, the MIL is illuminated. If a single cylinder is
indicated to be consistently misfiring in excess of the catalyst damage criteria, the fuel injector to that
cylinder may be shut off for a period of time to pr event catalyst damage. Up to two cylinders may be
disabled at the same time. This fuel shut-off feature is used on many 8-cylinder engines. It is never used
on a 4-cylinder or 6-cylinder engine. Next, the misf ire rate is evaluated every 1000 (or 4000) rev period
and compared to a single ( Type B ) threshold value to indicate an emission-threshold malfunction. If a
1000 rev period is calibrated, a single 1000 rev exceedence from startup or four subsequent 1000 rev
exceedences on a drive cycle after start-up is used as the malfunction criteria. If a 4000 rev period is
calibrated, a single 4000 rev exceedence is used to indicate an emission-threshold malfunction.

4% at high rpm and loads.
Type B (emission threshold rate) 1% to 5%

SAIR System Monitor – Flow Check

When the air pump is energized, the MAF sensor will show a corresponding increase in airflow. The
SAIR pump flow check monitors the MAF sensor signal and two air flow models during normal
secondary air system operation to determine if secondary air is being delivered into the exhaust system.
The SAIR pump flow test compares the actual change in MAF during the pump on and off transitions to
the expected change in airflow from the secondary air fl ow model. (A throttle body flow model is used to
"zero out" errors in the air meter and to compensate fo r transient driving conditions.) The actual airflow is
divided by the expected airflow to calculate an "On flow ratio" and an "Off flow ratio".

A flow ratio that is much less than 1.0 means that the air pump has no/low flow, or the inlet hose to the
pump is disconnected. If secondary air system operation ex tends into closed loop fuel, fuel trim feedback
is used to discriminate between low pump flow and in let hose disconnection. A low flow ratio with a lean
fuel system indicates a disconnected inlet hose. A flow ratio significantly higher than 1.0 (and/or a rich
fuel system indication) indicates that th e outlet hose from the pump is disconnected.

SAIR Diagnostic


The V8 uses the standard FORD non-intrusive monitor that has been adapted for use on a V-engine. The
detection capability is detailed below with the V8 specific modifications highlighted

P0410 - Pump inlet hose disconnection.

P0491 - Low airflow into the exhaust on Bank1. Blocked hose OR failed to open vacuum valve.

P0492 - Low airflow into the exhaust on Bank 2. Blocked hose OR failed to open vacuum
valve.

P2448 - Low airflow into the exhaust on Bank1. Disconnected outlet hose.

P2449 - Low airflow into the exhaust on Bank 2. Disconnected outlet hose.

P0412 - SAIR electrical circuit fault high/low on ecu control pin.

P2257 - SAIR electrical circuit fault high on monitor pin.

P2258 - SAIR electrical circuit fault low on monitor pin.

The determination of which bank is receiving low ai rflow is performed by monitoring the closed loop
fuelling correction supplied from the oxygen sensors. The bank that has the highest enleaning correction is
the bank that has the lowest SAIR flow. If closed loop fuelling is not active when the SAIR pump is
disabled the diagnostic cannot determ ine which bank is receiving low flow and so a fault on both banks is
raised.

The relative difference between the commanded lambda values for each bank is used to determine a
restricted flow to either bank1 or 2 due to a restricted outlet. This enables P0491, P0492 to be raised if the
flow ratio is calculated as in range.

The SAIR functional tests run when SAIR is active and the results are stored until the HEGO monitor has
completed (150-200 seconds after SAIR is off on a typical FTP74). It is only when the HEGO monitor has
completed successfully that any functional SAIR fa ults and SAIR monitor complete is reported.
