FAULT DIAGNOSIS LUCAS CONSTANT ENERGY IGNITION SYSTEM -
V8i
Preliminary checks
Inspect battery cables and connections to ensure they
are clean and tight. Check electrical condition of
battery.
Inspect all L.T. connections, ensure they are clean
and tight. Check H.T. leads are correctly positioned
and not shorting to ground against any engine
components. Wiring harness and individual cables
should be firmly fastened to prevent chaffing.
Pick-up air gap
Check air gap between pick-up limb and reluctor teeth
is 0.20 - 0.35 mm, using a non-ferrous gauge.
NOTE: Air gap is set initially at factory and
will only require adjusting if tampered with
or when pick-up module is replaced.
TEST 1:
H.T. Sparking
Remove coil/distributor H.T. lead from distributor
cover and hold approximately 6mm from engine block,
using suitable insulated pliers. Switch ignition 'On' and
operate starter.
Regular sparking indicates fault in H.T. distribution,
plugs, timing or fuelling, proceed to Test 6. If no spark
or weak spark occurs proceed to Test 2.TEST 2:
L.T. Voltage
Switch ignition 'On' - engine stationary.
(a) Connect voltmeter to points in circuit indicated
by V1 to V4 and make a note of voltage
readings.
(b) Compare voltages obtained with specified
values listed below:
Expected readings
V1 More than 12 volts.
V2 1 volt maximum below volts at V1.
V3 1 volt maximum below volts at V1.
V4 0 volt - 0.1 volt.
(c) If all readings are correct proceed to Test 3.
(d) Check incorrect reading(s) with chart to identify
area of possible faults, i.e. faults listed under
heading SUSPECT and rectify.
(e) If coil and amplifier is suspected, disconnect L.T.
lead at coil, repeat V3. If voltage is still incorrect,
fit new coil. If voltage is now correct, check L.T.
lead, if satisfactory fit new amplifier.
(f) If engine will not start proceed to Test 3.

ADJUSTMENT IGNITION TIMING
Service repair no - 86.35.15
Adjust
1.It is essential that following procedures are
adhered to. Inaccurate timing can lead to serious
engine damage and additionally create failure to
comply with emission regulations. If timing is
being checked in vehicle, air conditioning
compressor must be disengaged.
2.On initial engine build, or if distributor has been
disturbed for any reason, ignition timing must be
set statically to 6°B.T.D.C.
NOTE: This approximate setting is made
only to ensure that engine may be started.
CAUTION: On no account must engine be
started before this operation is carried out.Equipment required :-
Calibrated Tachometer
Stroboscopic lamp
3.Couple stroboscopic timing lamp and tachometer
to engine following manufacturer's instructions.
4.Disconnect vacuum hose from distributor.
5.Start engine. With no load, and without
exceeding 3,000 rev/min run engine until normal
operating temperature is reached. (Thermostat
open). Check that engine idles within tolerance
specified in data section.
6.Idle speed for timing purposes must not exceed
800 rev/min.
7.Run engine at idle speed and check timing using
stroboscope light on timing marker and pointer.
WARNING: Keep hands and equipment
away from belt.
8.If timing is not as specified, switch off engine.
Loosen distributor clamp bolt and turn distributor
to advance or retard ignition as necessary.
Tighten clamp bolt, start engine and recheck
timing.
WARNING: Personal injury may result if an
attempt is made to adjust distributor whilst
engine is running.
9.Upon completion, switch off engine and retighten
distributor clamping bolt securely. Recheck
timing, to ensure retightening has not disturbed
distributor position.
10.Refit vacuum hose.
11.Disconnect stroboscopic timing lamp and
tachometer from engine.

REPAIR HANDSET INITIALISATION
NOTE: New handsets are supplied in pairs.
If a new handset is required, it will require
initialisation to the ECU using the
following procedure:
1.Starting conditions: ignition off, doors unlocked,
bonnet switch depressed.
2.Carry out instructions 3. to 9. within 8 seconds.
3.Switch ignition ON.
4.Switch ignition OFF.
5.Lock doors.
6.Unlock doors.
7.Release bonnet switch.
8.Switch ignition ON.
9.Switch ignition OFF.
If alarm is correctly accessed, horn will sound and
LED will light. It is now possible to programme two
handsets of correct frequency to vehicle alarm ECU.
This must be carried out within two minutes.
10.Press and hold down button on first handset until
dash LED flashes.
11.Repeat instruction 10. for second handset.
12.The LED will extinguish if both handsets have
been initialised correctly.CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING
Where electrically operated central door locking is
fitted, locking or unlocking the drivers door from
outside by key operation, or from the inside with the
sill knob automatically locks or unlocks the passenger
and rear doors.
Front and rear passenger doors can be independently
locked or unlocked from inside the vehicle by sill knob
operation but can be overidden by further operation of
the driver's door locking control.
On rear doors, where side facing fold down seats are
fitted, a child safety lock is provided which can be
mechanically pre-set to render the interior door
handles inoperative.
Failure of a door actuator will not affect the operation
of the remaining doors and the door with the
inoperative actuator can still be locked or unlocked
manually.
The actuator unit fitted to the driver's door is the
master actuator and is identified from the actuators
fitted to the passenger and rear doors by having a
white connecting link, whereas the passenger and
rear door actuators have grey coloured connecting
links.
NOTE: Actuator units are non-servicable, if
a fault should occur replace the unit with a
new one.
