DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION SYSTEM OPERATION
Ignition on
When the ignition is switched on, voltage is applied to
ECM pin 11. The ECM then switches on the main
relay by supplying an earth path at pin 4. This allows
battery voltage to pass to ECM pin 28, to the four
injectors and through the ignition coil to ECM pin 25.
In addition, the fuel pump relay is switched on by the
ECM supplying an earth path on pin 20. Voltage is
applied through the inertia switch to the fuel pump.
The pump runs for a short period to pressurise the
fuel rail. The fuel pressure regulator will open at its
maximum setting and excess fuel is spill returned to
the tank.
The ECM determines the amount of stepper motor
movement from the following signals:
·Engine coolant temperature data at pin 33.
·Inlet air temperature data at pin 16.
·Throttle potentiometer data at pin 8.
·Engine speed data at pins 31 and 32.
·Manifold absolute pressure data (via pipe from
manifold).
·Battery voltage at pin 28.
·Ignition signal at pin 11.
If one or more of the following inputs fail, the ECM will
substitute the back-up values shown to maintain
driveability.
Input Back-up value
Coolant temperature Idle Speed controlled until
engine is fully warm. 60°Cat
speeds above idle.
Inlet air temperature Derived from engine speed and
engine load.
Manifold absolute Derived from engine speed and
pressure throttle position.
Starter operation
Whilst the starter relay is energised, battery voltage is
applied to the starter motor solenoid. The solenoid
also energises and supplies battery voltage directly to
the starter motor.
Ignition is controlled by the ECM switching the low
tension circuit via pin 25.
The ECM provides an earth signal on pins 24, 23, 26
and 1 for the period the injectors are required to be
open, the injector solenoids are energised
(simultaneously on naturally aspirated models) and
fuel is sprayed into the manifold onto the back of the
inlet valves. The ECM carefully meters the amount of
fuel injected by adjusting the injector opening period
(pulse width). During cranking, when the engine
speed is below approx. 400 rev/min, the ECM
increases the injector pulse width to aid starting. The
amount of increase depends upon coolant
temperature. To prevent flooding, injector pulses are
intermittent i.e. 24 on then 8 pulses off.
Idling
After start enrichment is provided at all temperatures
immediately cranking ceases. The ECM controls the
enrichment by increasing injector pulse width. The
enrichment decays in relation to the rising coolant
temperature.
Provided the ECM is receiving a signal that the engine
speed is close to the idle speed set point, the ECM
will implement idle speed control.
The ECM activates a unipolar stepper motor acting
directly on the throttle lever. Idle speed response is
improved by the ignition system advancing or
retarding the timing when load is placed on, or
removed from the engine.
If, during engine idle, the load on the engine is
increased sufficiently to cause engine speed to fall,
the ECM will sense this via the crankshaft sensor and
instantly advance the ignition timing to increase idle
speed and then energise the stepper motor to open
the throttle disc thus maintaining the idle speed.
Finally the ignition timing is retarded to its nominal
value.
The ECM monitors battery voltage and, if voltage falls
sufficiently to cause fluctuations in injector pulse
widths, it increases the injector pulse widths to
compensate.
On return to idle, the ECM will implement a slightly
higher idle speed to prevent the engine stalling.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM - V8i/Tdi AUTO EDC
Description
The cruise control system consists of
electro-mechanical devices, and comprises of the
following components.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU)
The microprocessor based ECU evaluates the signals
provided by the driver controls, brake pedal switch,
clutch pedal switch on manual models, and the
vehicle speed sensor. The ECU activates the vacuum
pump as required. The ECU also has a memory
function for set speed storage.
Driver operated switches
The main cruise control switch is located in the
auxiliary switch panel and activates the cruise control
system. The steering wheel switches provide
'set/accelerate' and 'resume/decelerate' features.
These switches provide the interface between driver
and cruise control system.
Brake pedal switch
The brake pedal switch is located under the lower
dash attached to the brake pedal mounting bracket.
The switch provides for fast disengagement of the
cruise control system and rapid return of the throttle
levers to the idle position when the brake pedal is
applied.
Clutch pedal switch
The clutch pedal switch is located under the lower
dash attached to the clutch pedal mounting bracket.
The switch provides for fast disengagement of the
cruise control system and rapid return of the throttle
levers to the idle position when the clutch pedal is
applied.Vehicle speed sensor
The vehicle speed sensor is located on the side of the
transfer box adjacent to park brake. The sensor
provides road speed data to the ECU. The cruise
control system cannot be engaged until the road
speed exceeds 45 km/h, (28 mph) the system will
automatically disengage at a road speed of 42 km/h
(26 mph).
Vacuum pump
The vacuum pump is energised when the main cruise
control switch is operated, and is actuated by the
steering wheel and brake pedal switches. The pump
provides a vacuum source to the cruise control
actuator. A control valve in the pump provides for
steady increase of road speed or purge of the system
when the brake pedal is applied.
Actuator
The actuator provides the servo mechanism link
between the cruise control system and throttle linkage
and is operated by vacuum from the vacuum pump.
Neutral lockout relay - automatic vehicles
The relay module is located in the right hand side
footwell, accessible by removing the trim casing.
The function of the relay module is to disengage the
cruise control system if neutral, or park, is selected in
the main gearbox, when the system is engaged.
Engine speed trip ECU - Manual vehicles
This unit is located in the right hand side footwell,
accessible by removing the trim casing.
The function of the unit is to disengage cruise control
if engine speed exceeds 5000 rev/min.

82AIR CONDITIONING
4
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 5. Evaporator
As this change of state occurs, a large amount of
latent heat is absorbed. The evaporator is therefore
cooled and as a result heat is extracted from the air
flowing across the evaporator. The air flow is
controlled by the ventilation fan which can be
operated at anyone of four speeds.
To prevent liquid passing through to the compressor,
a capillary tube (6), attached to the outlet pipe of the
evaporator (5) and connected to the thermostatic
expansion valve (4), controls the amount that the
valve opens and closes in relation to the temperature
of the low pressure high temperature refrigerant
vapour (F4) at the outlet. The atomised refrigerant
then passes through the evaporator (5). Fan blown air
(A2) passes through the matrix (A3) of the evaporator
and is cooled by absorption due to the low
temperature refrigerant passing through the
evaporator.
A thermostat is fitted in the airflow out of the
evaporator to sense the temperature of the exterior
fins. Should ice begin to form, due to a too cold
condition, it will signal to disengage the
electro-mechanical clutch on the compressor (1).
From the evaporator, low pressure slightly
superheated refrigerant (F5) passes to the
compressor to complete the cycle.AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL SYSTEM
The air conditioning control system comprises relays,
thermostat, pressure switches, and a control panel.
Inputs from outside the air conditioning system
comprise temperature information from the engine
cooling system. Together these controls, in
conjunction with the cooling fans, compressor clutch,
blower and heater distribution and blend unit enable
minimal input to maintain the required environment
inside the vehicle.
When air conditioning is not selected, air is supplied
by ram effect or blower to the areas selected by the
controls. The air mix flap on the blend unit controls the
temperature of the air being supplied. No cooled air is
available.
Selecting air conditioning provides the added facility of
cooled air available to be mixed as before. When
required a fully cold condition can be selected by
turning the temperature controls to cold, which
automatically closes the heated coolant access to the
heater matrix. Mixtures of cooled, fresh, and hot air
can be selected to give required interior environmental
conditions by selection at the control panel.
Dual pressure switch
This switch, located in the high pressure line between
the receiver drier and the expansion valve, monitors
refrigerant pressure and by means of the relay module
controls the following system functions:
1.Refrigerant pressure drops below 2.0 bar, 29
lbf/in
2(due to possible leakage), the
compressor's electro-mechanical clutch is
dis-engaged.
When pressure rises above 2.0 bar, 29 lbf/in
2the
compressor's clutch is re-engaged.
2.Refrigerant pressure rises above 32 bar, 455
lbf/in
2(due to possible blockage), even with
cooling fan operation, the compressor's
electro-mechanical clutch is dis-engaged.
When the pressure drops below 26 bar, 375
lbf/in
2the compressor clutch is re-engaged.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM FUNCTION
Perimetric protection
Using the key in the correct sequence will turn on and
off perimetric protection only. When fully perimetrically
armed, all doors, and bonnet [hood] are protected
against unauthorised access. If the door key is used in
the normal manner the driver will be unaware of the
door key sequence. The time taken to lock or unlock
with the key must be less than 5 seconds. To prevent
unauthorised tampering, the alarm will sound if the
key is held in the unlocked position for longer than 5
seconds when armed. Cranking is disabled when
perimetric protection is armed.
NOTE: When key is turned left or right the
keyswitch input will be activated, in
conjunction with the sill button switch
when links are operated.
Volumetric protection
Using the handset transmitter will turn on and off
volumetric protection. In volumetric mode the vehicle
interior is protected using the ultrasonic sensor. Using
the handset also arms and disarms the vehicle
perimetrically. Cranking is disabled when volumetric
and perimetric protection is armed.
NOTE: If armed volumetrically the vehicle
CANNOT be disarmed using the key.
Alarm horn
When an intrusion is detected the alarm horn will
sound intermittently (Switzerland and Denmark
continuous horn sound) and the hazard lights flash
(where territorial regulations allow) for 30 seconds.
The alarm must be retriggered before alarm horn will
sound again.Vehicle status indication
Vehicle status is indicated by up to three devices: (a)
alarm horn, (b) hazard lights, (c) dash board LED.
When the vehicle arms in either mode the hazard
lights will flash three times and the LED will flash
rapidly for 10 seconds. LED will then flash at a slower
rate while vehicle is armed. When the vehicle disarms,
hazard lights will flash once and LED will extinguish. If
LED remains lit, it indicates that the alarm has been
triggered. Turning on ignition or arming the alarm will
extinguish LED. The LED will give a long pulse flash
to indicate the ultrasonic unit being activated.
Central locking
Central locking is controlled by the alarm ECU and
may be operated by the key, sill button(s) or handset.
The system works on both front doors on four door
vehicles or driver's door on two door vehicles.
NOTE: The central door locking system
will shut down for a short period after
more than 15 consecutive operations.
Inertia switch
An inertia switch is incorporated in the alarm system
ECU. If ignition is on and the vehicle receives an
impact sufficient to activate the inertia switch, the ECU
will signal to unlock central locking actuators and flash
hazard lights. Central locking will remain disabled for
30 seconds. To reset turn ignition off and then on after
the 30 second period has elapsed.
Ultrasonic unit
The unit operates by emitting an air pressure carrier
wave and receiving the wave back. Any disturbance
within the vehicle which disturbs the wave will be
detected, triggering the alarm.
When the volumetric sensor is activated it monitors
movement within the vehicle for 15 seconds before
detecting and responding to intrusions. If the sensor
detects movement within the vehicle it delays arming
until a 15 seconds quiet period has elapsed. If
continuous movement is detected the alarm will not
arm volumetrically.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Radio frequency system
The RF system uses four frequencies according to
market. If the coaxial aerial is not fitted system
performance will be impaired. Both ECU and handset
have a colour coded label.

315.0 MHz Green/green............................. Rest of world, Italy, Australia....................
315.0 MHz Orange/Green............................. Gulf, Japan..................
Partially armed mode
If a door, tailgate or bonnet [hood] is left open when
the system is armed, the LED will not light for 10
seconds indicating a mislock condition. Hazard lights
will not flash. If an open door or tailgate is causing the
mislock, the starter motor is disabled. The alarm will
sound if ignition is turned to start position. If an open
bonnet [hood] is causing the mislock the starter motor
is disabled. The alarm will arm the volumetric part of
the system. If the door tailgate or bonnet [hood] is
subsequently closed, after a 5 second delay, the
doors will unlock and immediately lock and the system
will fully arm.
Handset transmitter
The handset LED will give one short flash when
button is pressed momentarily.
If button is held down the LED will light again after 2
seconds for 2 seconds, and extinguish until button is
released and repressed. The handset contains unique
information distinguishing it from other transmitters. It
also contains a set of 'random' rolling codes
programmed into the ECU before leaving the factory.
Each time the handset is pressed a different code is
transmitted to the ECU.
If handset is operated more than four times outside
the vehicle range (6 metres) or power supply is
removed, it will be necessary to re-sychronise handset
and the ECU by pressing the handset three times
within range and within 5 seconds.
NOTE: If both handsets are lost or
damaged when system is armed it will be
necessary to fit a new ECU with two
matching handsets.
Handset batteries
If handset LED flashes continuously when button is
pressed, the batteries need replacing. The hazard
lights will flash one 3 second pulse, instead of three
times upon arming vehicle.
Power up mode
The alarm system always remembers the state it was
left in when power was removed. If the alarm powers
up in an armed state and is subsequently triggered it
will give a warning that it will fully trigger unless
disarmed. This warning consists of short horn pulses
every two seconds for 15 seconds.
New born mode
When the ECU is first produced, it will be in its 'new
born' mode. In this mode it will respond to any remote
of the right frequency. This mode will be cancelled
when the ECU has received ten valid handset signals
without power interruption.
Engine cranking
It is only possible to crank the engine when ignition is
ON and alarm disabled.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION DETECTION COMPONENTS
Switches
Perimetric protection for the vehicle is provided by
ECU inputs connected to the following:
Key switches (including starter)
Sill buttons
Bonnet switch
Door switches
Ultrasonic sensor
The ultrasonic sensor is located on the interior light
switch panel and triggers the alarm if movement is
detected.
WARNING INDICATORS
Battery backed-up sounder
The battery backed-up sounder is located in the
engine compartment and provides an audible warning
whenever the alarm is triggered.
NOTE: Disconnecting the vehicle battery
will result in the alarm sounding if the
correct procedure has not been followed.
See Repair, Battery.
Engine immobilisation warning light (EIWL)
The engine immobilisation warning light is located in
the instrument pack and provides a visual indication
that the engine is immobilised.
Anti-theft alarm indicator light
The anti-theft alarm indicator light is located in the
instrument pack and provides a visual indication of the
alarm status.
Inertia switch and central door locking
As a safety feature, the alarm system is designed to
recognise the inertia switch and via the ECU, unlock
the doors in the event of a collision.
NOTE: This feature only applies when the
starter switch is in the on position.ANTI-THEFT ALARM OPERATION (96 MODELS)
Full arming and immobilisation
Locking the vehicle using the handset immobilises the
engine and initializes both volumetric and perimetric
protection, providing:
1.After a lock signal has been received, a period of
15 seconds has elapsed during which no
movement is detected inside the vehicle;
2.No door or bonnet is open.
NOTE: If either of the above conditions are
not satisfied, the alarm will only be
partially armed. This is a mislock condition
which will be made apparent by a delay of 10
seconds before the anti-theft alarm indicator
begins to flash.
Disarming the alarm
NOTE: ALWAYS disarm the alarm using
the handset.
Unlocking with the key will not disarm the alarm or
mobilise the vehicle. If the handset fails to unlock the
vehicle
See Repair, Handset.
Partial arming and immobilisation
The alarm will be partially armed and the engine
immobilised if the vehicle is locked with the handset or
key, if:
1.After a lock signal has been received, a period of
15 seconds has elapsed during which movement
is detected inside the vehicle;
2.A door or bonnet is open.
NOTE: This is a mislock condition which
will be made apparent by a delay of 10
seconds before the anti-theft alarm
indicator begins to flash. Subsequent closure of
the offending aperture will cause the alarm to
attempt full arming as previously described.
Immobilisation
The vehicle will be automatically immobilised
whenever any of the following conditions occur:
1.The vehicle is locked using the handset.
2.The vehicle is locked using the key.
3.Thirty seconds after the starter switch has been
turned off AND the driver's door opened.
4.Five minutes after the starter switch is turned off
or the alarm disarmed.
