ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-6 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description - engine management
General
The V8 engine is equipped with the Bosch Motronic M5.2.1 engine management system. This system is a sequential
multiport fuel injection system controlled by an Engine Control Module (ECM).
A single ECM is used for the control of the existing 4.0 litre engine and the new 4.6 litre engine introduced with 03
model year vehicles for the NAS market only. The ECM contains the tunes for both engines variants. When the ECM
is replaced, TestBook/T4 must be used to select the correct tune to match the engine fitment.
The ECM has On Board Diagnostic (OBD) strategies as required by various market legislative bodies. To meet these
requirements the system monitors and reports on any faults that cause excessive exhaust emissions.
In markets that mandate OBD, the ECM monitors performance of the engine for misfires, catalyst efficiency, exhaust
leaks and evaporative control loss. If a fault occurs, the ECM stores the relevant fault code and warns the driver of
component failure by illuminating the Malfunction Indicator Light in the instrument pack.
In markets where OBD is not mandatory, the ECM will still monitor performance of the engine and store the fault code,
but will not illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Light.
The ECM uses input and output information from its sensors and actuators to control the following engine conditions:
lFuel quantity.
lClosed loop fuelling.
lOpen loop fuelling.
lIgnition timing.
lKnock control.
lIdle speed control.
lEmission control.
lOn-Board Diagnostic (OBD) where applicable.
lVehicle immobilisation.
lMisfire detection (where applicable).
lVehicle speed signal.
lRough road signal (where applicable).
lLow fuel level signal (where applicable).
lCoolant temperature gauge signal.
The ECM processes sensor information from the following input sources:
lIgnition switch (position II).
lCrankshaft speed and position sensor.
lCamshaft position sensor.
lEngine coolant temperature sensor.
lMass air flow sensor.
lIntake air temperature sensor.
lKnock sensor.
lThrottle position sensor.
lHeated oxygen sensors.
lHigh/ Low ratio switch.
lFuel tank pressure sensor (where fitted)
lThermostat monitoring sensor (where fitted)

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-8 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Engine Control Module (ECM)
The engine control module (ECM) is located on the RH side A post below the face panel inside the vehicle. It has a
cast aluminium case and is mounted on a bracket. The ECM has 5 independent connectors totalling 134 pins.
The ECM is available in 4 variants:
lNAS.
lNAS low emission vehicles.
lUK/ Europe/ Japan/ Australia.
lROW/ Gulf.
The ECM uses a 'flash' electronic erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM). This enables the ECM to
be externally configured, to ensure that the ECM can be updated with any new information, this also allows the ECM
to be configured with market specific data. TestBook must be used to configure replacement ECM's. The ECM can
be reprogrammed, using TestBook/T4, with new engine tunes up to 16 times to meet changing specifications and
legislation. The current engine tune data can be accessed and read using TestBook/T4.
The ECM memorises the positions of the crankshaft and the camshaft when the engine has stopped via the CKP and
CMP sensors. This allows immediate sequential fuel injection and ignition timing during cranking. This information is
lost if battery voltage is too low (i.e. flat battery). So the facility will be disabled for the first engine start.
Input/Output
The ECM has various sensors fitted to the engine to allow it to monitor engine condition. The ECM processes these
signals and decides what actions to carry out to maintain optimum engine operation by comparing the information
from these signals to mapped data within its memory.
Connector 1 (C0634): This connector contains 9 pins and is used primarily for ECM power input and earth. The ECM
requires a permanent battery supply, if this permanent feed is lost i.e. the battery discharges or is disconnected the
ECM will lose its adapted values and its Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). These adapted values are a vital part of
the engine management's rolling adaptive strategy. Without an adaptive strategy, driveability, performance, emission
control, and fuel consumption are adversely affected. The ECM can be damaged by high voltage inputs, so care must
be taken when removing and replacing the ECM.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-14 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Crankshaft speed and Position (CKP) sensor (C0168)
The CKP sensor is located towards the rear of the engine below cylinder number 7, with its tip adjacent to the outer
circumference of the flywheel. The CKP sensor is the most important sensor on the vehicle and without its signal the
engine will not run. The signal produced by the CKP sensor allows the ECM to determine crankshaft angle and speed
of rotation. The ECM uses this information to calculate ignition timing and fuel injection timing.
The CKP sensor works as a variable reluctance sensor. It uses an electromagnet and a reluctor ring to generate a
signal. As the reluctor ring passes the tip of the CKP sensor the magnetic field produced by the sensor is cut and then
re-instated. The ECM measures the signal as an ac voltage.
The output voltage varies in proportion to engine speed. The reluctor ring has a set tooth pattern, 60 teeth are spaced
at 6° intervals and are 3° wide, two teeth are removed to provide a reference mark at 60° BTDC for number 1 cylinder.
There is no back up strategy or limp home facility if this sensor fails, the engine does not run.
Input/Output
Because of the nature of its operation the CKP sensor does not require any electrical input source. The CKP sensor
is a 3 pin variable reluctance sensor generating its own electrical output. The 2 output sources from the sensor are
earthed via pin 46 of connector C0636 of the ECM and sensor output is via pin 32 of connector C0636 of the ECM.
This output is in the form of an ac voltage waveform. The 3rd pin is used by the ECM as an earth screen, this screen
protects the integrity of the CKP sensor signal to ensure that outside electrical interference is eliminated, it is
controlled via pin 45 of connector C0636 of the ECM. The ac voltage generated from the CKP sensor is relative to
engine speed.
