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 
• Upstream Universal Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen  (UHEGO) sensors (2)
• Brake switch
• Speed control cancel/suspend switch
• Intake air temperature (IAT) sensor (integrated into  the MAF) (2)
• Ambient air temperature (AAT) sensor
• Engine oil level and temperature sensor 
• Temperature and manifold absolute pressure  (TMAP) sensor (SC only)   
Outputs
 
• Throttle Actuator
• Coil-on-plug (COP) ignition coils (8)
• Upstream Universal Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen (UHEGO) sensors (2)
• Downstream Heated Oxygen Sensors (HO2S) (2)
• Direct injection fuel injectors (8)
• Variable camshaft timing (VCT) solenoids (4) 
• Camshaft profile switching (CPS) solenoids (2)
• Intake manifold tuning solenoid 
• Carbon canister purge valve
• Fuel pump relay
• Starter relay
• A/C condenser fan relay

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.
