DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The Mpi Modular Engine Management System
(MEMS) controls the fuel injection and programmed
ignition systems.
The main features are as follows:
·The Engine Control Module (ECM) controls
programmed ignition and fuel injection. The ECM
incorporates short circuit protection and can
store intermittent faults on certain inputs.
Testbook can interrogate the ECM for these
stored faults.
·The ECM uses the speed/density method of air
flow measurement to calculate fuel delivery. This
method measures the inlet air temperature and
inlet manifold pressure and assumes that the
engine is a calibrated vacuum pump with its
characteristics stored in the ECM
·If certain system inputs fail, the ECM implements
a back-up facility to enable the system to
continue functioning, although at a reduced level
of performance.
·A separate diagnostic connector allows engine
tuning or fault diagnosis to be carried out using
Testbook without disconnecting the ECM
harness connector.
·The ECM harness multiplug incorporates
specially plated pins to minimise oxidation and
give improved reliability.
·The throttle potentiometer requires no
adjustment in service. The following components
supply data for both fuelling and ignition:Ignition system
The ECM determines the optimum ignition timing
based on the signals it receives from the following
sensors:
1.Crankshaft sensor - Engine speed and
crankshaft position.
2.Manifold absolute pressure sensor - Engine load
3.Coolant temperature sensor - Engine
temperature.
4.Manifold absolute pressure sensor - Throttle
closed.
5.Knock sensor - Engine noise and vibration.
MEMS uses no centrifugal or vacuum advance, timing
being controlled by the ECM which is energised by the
main relay, within the relay module. Spark distribution
is achieved by 2 coils mounted at the rear of the
engine and controlled by the ECM.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS ENGINE OVERHEATING
Before conducting any cooling system diagnosis:
See
Description and operation, Engine Cooling
1.Is coolant level correct?
NO - Allow engine to cool, top up level to
expansion tank seam.
YES - Continue.
2.Is drive belt tension correct?
NO -
See ENGINE, Repair, Compressor
Drive Belt
YES - Continue.
3.Is coolant in radiator frozen?
YES - Slowly thaw and drain system.
See
Adjustment, Coolant
NO - Continue.
4.Is air flow through radiator restricted or blocked?
YES - Apply air pressure from engine side of
radiator to clear obstruction.
NO - Continue.
5.Are there any external leaks, from water pump,
engine gaskets, fast idle thermostat or the heater
unit?
YES - Investigate and rectify.
See Adjustment,
Coolant
NO - Continue.

leakage across gaskets, go to check 10,
otherwise: Continue.8.Are the air conditioning fans operating correctly?
See Electrical Trouble Shooting Manual.
NO - Rectify.
YES - Continue.
9.Is temperature sender and gauge giving
accurate readings?
NO - Sustitute parts and compare readings.
YES - Continue.
10.Carry out cylinder pressure test to determine if
pressure is leaking into cooling system causing

If problem is not diagnosed, check the coolant system
for engine oil contamination and engine lubrication
system for coolant contamination.
If only the coolant system is contaminated suspect a
cylinder head gasket.
If both systems are contaminated, suspect the
radiator.
If only the lubrication system is contaminated with
coolant, suspect leakage past cylinder liner seals or
cylinder head gasket.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
Prior to road test
1.Check oil level in transfer box is correct.
2.Check tightness of level and drain plugs.
3.Check breather system for blockage. To validate
the system the pipe must be removed,
inspected, rectified as necessary and refitted.
4.Remove all traces of oil from exterior of transfer
box.
Take vehicle for short road test.
5.Identify source of leaks and rectify as follows.
Front or rear output seal leaking:-
1.Drain the oil and remove the leaking output
flange.
2.Inspect the seal track on the flange for surface
damage. If damaged renew component.
3.Remove and discard the oil seal.
4.Inspect the seal locating bore and remove any
sharp edges which may damage the new oil
seal.
5.Fit new seal.
6.Fit the output flange and all the other parts.
7.Add oil to correct level into the gearbox.
See
LUBRICANTS, FLUIDS AND CAPACITIES,
Information, Recommended Lubricants and
Fluids
Cover plate gasket leaking.
1.Drain the oil and remove the leaking cover plate.
2.Remove all traces of joint sealant from both joint
faces.
3.Degrease all components and apply a thin film of
Hylomar sealant, to both joint faces.
4.Apply thread sealant to the bolts which come
into contact with gearbox oil.
5.Refit cover plate.
CAUTION: Care must be taken not to
overtighten the fixings.Leak between the main and transfer gearboxes.
1.Site vehicle onto a ramp [hoist].
2.Select neutral in transfer box and select 4th gear
in the main gearbox.
3.Run engine at 2000 rpm with the clutch/drive
engaged.
4.Observe joint between the main and transfer
boxes.
5.If oil leak is found establish if it is gear oil.
6.If so, the leak is originating from the transfer box.
7.Check the two inner (main/transfer) bolts are oil
tight, as these holes are tapped through into the
main transfer case.
8.Remove the transfer box to inspect the
mainshaft collar seal track condition, and the
front face of the transfer case for porosity.
See
Repair, LT230T Transfer Gearbox
9.If these areas require servicing, the transfer
gearbox input seal must also be renewed.
CAUTION: Avoid damaging the new seal
lip and ensure the seal is fitted flush with
the machined face. Also ensure the new
seal is not damaged when refitting the transfer
gearbox.
10.If red A.T.F type oil is seen leaking during the
workshop test, investigate the main gearbox for
cause of leak.
Detent plug or electrical switch leaks.
1.Detent plugs and electrical switches do not
usually leak. It must be noted that they fit into
open tapped holes in the transfer case and
therefore should be considered when looking for
the source of the leak.
