General Information - Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index V8 S/C 5.0L
Petrol, DTC: Engine Control Module (ECM)
Description and Operation
Engine Control Module (PCM) 5.0L SC V8 - AJ133
WARNING: Fuel injector voltage will reach 65 Volts during operation and have a high current requirement.
CAUTION: Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT acceptable. Substitution of control modules does not
guarantee confirmation of a fault, and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being tested and/or the donor vehicle
NOTES:
If the control module or a component is suspect and the vehicle remains under manufacturer warranty, refer to the
Warranty Policy and Procedures manual, or determine if any prior approval programme is in operation, prior to the installation
of a new module/component.
Generic scan tools may not read the codes listed, or may read only five digit codes. Match the five digits from the scan
tool to the first five digits of the seven digit code listed to identify the fault (the last two digits give additional information
read by the manufacturer-approved diagnostic system).
When performing electrical voltage or resistance tests, always use a digital multimeter (DMM) accurate to three decimal
places, and with an up-to-date calibration certificate. When testing resistance, always take the resistance of the DMM leads
into account.
Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests.
If DTCs are recorded and, after performing the pinpoint tests, a fault is not present, an intermittent concern may be the
cause. Always check for loose connections and corroded terminals.
Check DDW for open campaigns. Refer to the corresponding bulletins and SSMs which may be valid for the specific
customer complaint and carry out the recommendations as required.
The table below lists all diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that could be logged in the electronic engine control module, for
additional diagnosis and testing information refer to the relevant diagnosis and testing section.
For additional information, refer to: Electronic Engine Controls (303-14 Electronic Engine Controls - V8 S/C 5.0L Petrol,
Diagnosis and Testing).

Carry out general engine checks:
- Compression test. Refer to component tests in this section.
- Valve clearances
- Spark plug condition and color
Check for collapsed catalytic converter/blocked exhaust system
Check long and short term fuel trim datalogger signals
- Readings up to 10%: may be considered as acceptable if the readings are equal
bank to bank
- Positive readings of between 10-20%: check for air leaks in air intake system
- Negative readings of between 10-20%: check for over fuelling e.g. leaking injectors,
high fuel pressure
- Readings above 20%: check for DTCs and refer to DTC Index. REFER to:
Electronic Engine Controls (303-14C Electronic Engine Controls - V8 5.0L Petrol, Diagnosis and Testing),

1 LH fuel rail 2 Crossover tube 3 RH fuel rail 4 FRP sensor 5 Fuel injector (8 off) The fuel rails and crossover tube are made from stainless steel. Bolts attach each fuel rail to the related cylinder head. The
crossover tube connects the front high pressure line to the LH fuel rail, which ensures there is equal pressure in the two fuel rails. Four P-clips attach the crossover tube to the intercooler-tank top.
The rear of the RH fuel rail incorporates a threaded boss for installation of the FRP sensor. FUEL RAILS AND CROSSOVER TUBE

RH fuel rail. The FRP sensor is screwed into a threaded boss in the fuel rail. A flying lead and three pin connector provides the interface with the engine harness.
The FRP sensor contains a steel diaphragm fitted with strain gages, which are incorporated into a Wheatstone bridge. The output from the Wheatstone bridge is processed by the ECM to derive a pressure value.
FUEL INJECTORS
The fuel injectors spray fuel from the fuel rail directly into the combustion chambers. The fuel injectors are installed close to
the center of the combustion chambers, between the inlet and exhaust valves and next to the spark plug.
The fuel injectors are a push fit in the fuel rails and the cylinder heads. On each fuel injector, a rubber O-ring seals the head of
the fuel injector in the fuel rail. A teflon ring seals the nozzle of the fuel injector in the cylinder head. A clamp locks each fuel
injector to the fuel rail. FUEL RAIL PRESSURE SENSOR

injectors with 65 V, then once the boost current reaches 11 A the power supply is switched to battery voltage. The ECM meters the amount of fuel injected into the combustion chambers by adjusting the time that the solenoid winding is energized.
There are six holes around the tip of the nozzle through which the fuel is sprayed. Two of the holes direct fuel below the spark
plug. The other four holes direct fuel evenly around the remainder of the combustion chamber.
If a fuel injector fails, the engine will suffer from unstable idle speed, poor NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) and poor
emissions performance.
