Battery Voltage Correction Mode
The ECM monitors the battery voltage circuit to ensure the voltage available to the engine management system stays
within the specified range. A low system voltage changes the voltage across the fuel injectors, which affects the fuel
injector flow rate. In addition, a low system voltage fault condition may cause other engine management system
components to malfunction.
The ECM switches to battery voltage correction mode when the ECM detects a low battery voltage fault condition. W hile
in battery voltage correction mode, the ECM performs the following functions to compensate for the low system voltage:
• Increases the injector on-time to maintain the correct amount of fuel being delivered, and
• Increases the idle speed to increase the generator output.
Limp Mode
The programming in the ECM software allows the engine to run in a back-up fuel strategy or limp mode when the ECM
fails to receive signal inputs from critical sensors or when a critical engine management fault condition exists.
The ECM switches to limp mode to enable the vehicle to be driven until service operations can be performed.
Engine Protection Mode
Engine protection mode is engaged to protect engine components from friction damage in the event of an engine over-
temperature condition being detected by the ECM.
W hen the ECM is in engine protection mode, fuel injectors are systematically disabled and re-activated. The injectors
that have been shut down allow the air being drawn into the engine to assist with engine cooling.
Clear Flood Mode
If the engine is flooded with fuel during starting and will not start, the clear flood mode can be manually selected by
depressing the accelerator pedal to wide open throttle (W OT). In this mode, the ECM will completely disable the fuel
injectors, and will maintain this state during engine cranking as long as the ECM detects a W OT condition with engine
speed less than 1,000 rpm.
3.3 Ignition Control System
The electronic ignition system provides a spark to ignite the compressed air / fuel mixture at the correct time. The ECM
maintains correct spark timing and dwell for all engine operating conditions. The ECM calculates the optimum spark
parameters from information received from the various sensors and triggers the appropriate ignition module / coil to fire
the spark plug.
3.4 Starter Motor Operation
The engine control module controls the activation of the start relay in response to inputs from:
• Ignition switch,
• Battery,
• Immobiliser system, and
• Automatic transmission gear selector position / clutch pedal position switch for vehicles with manual transmissions.
3.5 Throttle Actuator Control System
Description
The throttle actuator control (TAC) system is used to improve emissions, fuel economy and driveability. The TAC system
eliminates the mechanical link between the accelerator pedal and the throttle plate and eliminates the need for a cruise
control module and idle air control motor. The TAC system comprises of:

3.9 Serial Data Communication System
The engine control module (ECM) communicates directly with the following control units using the General Motors local
area network (GM LAN) serial data communication protocol:
• Transmission control module (TCM) (if fitted)
• Powertrain interface module (PIM)
The immobiliser control unit (ICU) communicates directly with the PIM using Keyword 2000 serial data communication
protocol. Refer to 11A Immobiliser for further information
As the GM LAN serial data communication protocol is not compatible with the Keyword 2000 serial data communication
protocol, a powertrain interface module (PIM) is integrated to the serial data communication system to perform the
following tasks (Refer to 6E1 Powertrain Interface Module – V6):
• Translate the GM LAN serial data transmitted by the ECM into a Keyword 2000 serial data that can be received
and recognised by the ICU.
• Translate the cruise control switch, automatic transmission power mode switch and 3
rd start switch signal into a GM
LAN serial data that can be received and recognised by the ECM.
3.10 Self Diagnostics System
The ECM constantly performs self-diagnostic tests on the engine management system. W hen the ECM detects a
malfunction, it also stores a diagnostic trouble code (DTC). A stored DTC will identify the problem area(s) and is
designed to assist the technician in rectifying the fault. In addition, DTCs are classified as either Current or History DTC.
Depending on the type of DTC set, the ECM may turn on the
malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) (1) to warn the driver there
is a fault in the Engine Management System.
Figure 6C1-1 – 12
3.11 Service Programming System
The ECM has an Electronically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) where the software and
calibration information required to operate the engine management system are stored.
The ECM features a service programming system (SPS) to flash program the EEPROM in the ECM with the latest ECM
software to provide optimum performance, driveability and emissions control or to program a new ECM.
Flash programming refers to the SPS used to transfer (or download) ECM data from a computer terminal to the vehicle’s
ECM. The system is designed so the vehicle verification procedures are required to eliminate EEPROM tampering that
could increase engine emission levels.
There are three main flash programming techniques:
1 Direct programming (pass through). This is where the vehicle’s data link connector (DLC) is connected directly to a computer terminal. On screen directions are then followed for downloading.
2 Remote Programming. Reprogramming information is downloaded from a computer terminal to Tech 2. Tech 2 is then connected to the vehicle’s DLC. On screen directions are then followed for downloading.
3 Off-board Programming. The off-board programming method is used when a re-programmable ECM must be programmed while it is removed from the vehicle. For example, an independent repair facility may find it necessary
to replace a faulty ECM. On flash programming equipped vehicles, the replacement ECM must be programmed
with data for the specific vehicle identification number (VIN) or the vehicle may not operate properly.

3.12 Immobiliser System
The vehicle incorporates an immobiliser system. After the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, and the powertrain
interface module (PIM) has authenticated the immobiliser control unit (ICU), the PIM sends an encrypted security code to
the engine control module (ECM). The ECM compares the received security code with its own security code, and if it is
valid, the ECM enables the vehicle to be started. For further information and diagnosis of the immobiliser system, refer to
11A Immobiliser.
For further information on the PIM, refer to 6E1 Powertrain Interface Module – V6.
