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.

Crankshaft Position Sensor
 
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR 
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is located on the 
forward side of the transmission torque converter hous-
ing, in line with the engine flexplate.
The sensor is secured with a single bolt into the flywheel 
housing. A reluctor ring is fitted to the outer diameter of 
the crankshaft flexplate; the sensor reacts to the gaps in 
the reluctor ring to determine engine speed and position 
information.
The CKP sensor is an inductive-type sensor which pro-
duces a sinusoidal output voltage signal. This voltage is 
induced by the proximity of the moving reluctor ring 
gaps, which excite the magnetic flux around the tip of 
the sensor when each gap passes.
The output voltage increases in magnitude and fre-
quency with the engine speed and, consequently, with 
the speed at which the reluctor ring gaps pass the sensor.   
NOTE:   
The output is also dependent on the air gap 
between the sensor and the teeth (the larger the gap, the 
weaker the signal, the lower the output voltage).

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)

Camshaft Position Sensor
 
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR 
The camshaft position (CMP) sensors are magneto-
resistive element (MRE) sensors, which have digital out-
put with zero speed recognition. They show a high signal 
if the camshaft position target is directly in front of the 
sensor, and low if the camshaft position target is not in 
front of the sensor.
There are four common sensors, one per camshaft.  
Failure Modes  
• Sensor open circuit
• Short circuit to vehicle battery supply or ground
• Mechanical fitting and integrity of the sensor
• Camshaft wheel tolerances/camshaft end float  excessive
• Camshaft and crankshaft misalignment/valve timing  error
• Camshaft wheel magnetized/residual magnetism
• Speed signal correlation with crankshaft sensor input
• Incorrect air gap between camshaft and sensor  
NOTE:   
If both the CKP sensor and the CMP sensor fail, 
the engine will stall or not start.  
Failure Symptoms  
• Ignition timing reverting to the base mapping, with  no cylinder correction
• VCT is disabled

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.

Knock Sensors
 
KNOCK SENSORS 
The ECM uses active knock control, which serves to 
prevent engine damaging pre-ignition or detonation 
under all operating conditions, enabling the engine to 
operate without additional safety margins.
The ECM uses 4 piezo-ceramic knock sensors to determine 
the point at which a cylinder is pre-detonating. Two sensors 
are mounted on the intake side of each cylinder head. 
Each sensor monitors engine knock by converting the 
engine block noise into a suitable electrical signal, which 
is then transmitted back to the ECM via a twisted-pair 
cable. The signal is processed within the ECM to iden-
tify the data that characterizes knocking.
This information is compared to known signal profiles to 
determine whether pre-ignition is present. If so, the 
closed loop control system retards the ignition on that 
cylinder for a number of cycles, after which it gradually 
moves back towards its original setting.  
Safety Precautions CAUTION: Terminals in sensor and connec-
tor are gold plated for corrosion/temperature 
resistance. Do not probe connections. 
NOTE:   
Accurate orientation of the knock sensors on the 
cylinder block is required to ensure correct connection to 
the vehicle wiring harness.  
Failure Modes  
• Sensor open circuit
• Short circuit to vehicle ground or battery voltage
• Faulty component or incorrectly torqued / coming  loose
• Noise on vehicle 12V supply could look like knock  signal causing knock fault
• Min fault usually due to open circuit
• Max fault short circuit to battery voltage or extreme  mechanical engine noise/piston slap
• ECM calculates the default value if one sensor fails  on each bank of cylinders  
Failure Symptoms  
• Knock control is disabled and a default ‘safe ignition  map’ is used
• Possible rough running and reduced engine perfor- mance  
Failure Mode Behaviors  
• The vehicle control system constantly checks open  circuit of knock sensor. Therefore, the knock sensor 
is connected to the power source via pull-up line of 
the ECM. 
• When short/open circuit occurs to the knock sensor  signal circuit, the system detects it, sets failure flag, 
and commences maximum retard control on spark 
advance.
• As far as the behavior of knock sensor is concerned,  however, the above-mentioned failure modes cannot 
cause serious outcomes such as heat generation, 
smoke emission and/or fire hazard.

Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor
 
Engine Management System
 
MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR 
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor provides 
a voltage proportional to the absolute pressure in the 
intake manifold. This signal allows the load on the 
engine to be calculated and used within the internal cal-
culations of the ECM.
The MAP sensor is mounted on the top of the engine, at 
the front behind the throttle body. The purpose of the 
sensor is to measure the absolute pressure in the intake 
manifold and provide information to the ECM, which 
will determine the injection time. 
The sensor is a semi-conductor type, which responds to 
pressure acting on a membrane within the sensor, alter-
ing the output voltage. 
The sensor receives a 5V reference voltage and a ground 
from the ECM and returns a signal of between 0.5 – 4.5V 
to the ECM. A low pressure returns a low voltage signal to 
the ECM and a high pressure returns a high voltage.
The MAP sensor detects quick pressure changes in the 
intake manifold after the electronic throttle. The signal is 
used in conjunction with the MAF sensor signal to calcu-
late the injection period. The ECM monitors the engine 
MAP sensor for faults and can store fault related codes.  
Failure Modes  
• Sensor open circuit
• Short circuit to battery voltage or ground
• Intake air restricted
• Default value of 1 bar (14.5 psi)  
Failure Symptoms  
• Rough running
• Difficult starting
• Poor driveability

Mass Air Flow Sensor
 
MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR 
Mass air flow is determined by the cooling effect of 
intake air passing over a ‘hot film’ element contained 
within the device. The higher the air flow the greater the 
cooling effect and the lower the electrical resistance of 
the ‘hot film’ element. The ECM then uses this analog 
signal from the mass air flow (MAF) sensor to calculate 
the air mass flowing into the engine.
The measured air mass flow is used in determining the 
fuel quantity to be injected in order to maintain the sto-
ichiometric air/fuel mixture required for correct opera-
tion of the engine and exhaust catalysts. Should the 
device fail, there is a software backup strategy that will 
be activated once a fault has been logged.
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is integrated into 
the MAF sensor. The IAT sensor is an NTC thermistor, 
meaning that the sensor resistance decreases as the sen-
sor temperature increases. 
The sensor forms part of a voltage divider chain with an 
additional resistor in the ECM. The voltage from this device 
changes as the sensor resistance changes, thus relating the 
air temperature to the voltage measured by the ECM.
Because the engine requires a twin air intake induction 
system, there are two MAF sensors per vehicle.  
Safety Precautions CAUTIONS:
• Component should not be dropped or han-dled roughly.
• Ensure that no contamination enters the  device.
• Some terminals in MAF and connector are  gold-plated for corrosion resistance – DO 
NOT probe.
Failure Modes
• Sensor open circuit
• Short circuit to battery voltage or ground
• Contaminated/damaged sensor element
• Air leak after MAF sensor
• Intake air restricted
• Resistance in the harness, causing signal offset
• Damaged sensor element
Failure Symptoms
• During driving the engine rpm might dip (before  recovering)
• Difficulty in starting or start/stall
• Poor throttle response/engine performance
• Emissions incorrect
• Lambda control and idle speed control halted
• MAF signal offset

TEMPERATURE AND MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR
The temperature and manifold absolute pressure 
(TMAP) sensor is used only on SC variants. The TMAP 
sensor provides a voltage proportional to the absolute 
pressure between the supercharger intercooler and the 
intake valve and the air charge temperature. These sig-
nals allow the ECM to calculate the air charge density.
The TMAP sensor is mounted at the rear of the engine, 
below the charge air cooler of the LH bank.

Engine Management SystemThrottle Position Sensor
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
The engine torque is regulated via an electronic throttle 
body (‘drive-by-wire’ system), where an electronic pedal 
assembly determines throttle opening.
The throttle position (TP) sensor is mounted in the inte-
grated cover plate on the throttle body assembly. The 
throttle body assembly is mounted at the top front of the 
engine, in a similar position for both NA and SC variants.
This value is input into the ECM and the throttle is 
opened to the correct angle by means of an electric direct 
current (DC) motor integrated into the throttle body. 
Movement of the motor is achieved by changing the 
PWM signal to the DC motor, allowing it to be operated 
in both directions.
The dual-output TP sensor in the throttle body is used to 
determine the position of the throttle blade and the rate 
of change in its angle.
A software strategy within the ECM enables the throttle 
position to be calibrated each ignition cycle. When the 
ignition is turned ON, the ECM commands the throttle 
to open and close fully, thus performing a self-test and 
calibration, learning the position of the full closed hard 
stop position.Safety Precautions
CAUTION: Terminals in sensor and connec-
tor are gold-plated for corrosion/temperature 
resistance – DO NOT probe.
