ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - TD5
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-1-43
Air Conditioning (A/C)
The ECM controls operation of the A/C compressor and the engine's electric cooling fan in response to requests from
the Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) ECU.
A/C request
When the ATC ECU supplies the ECM with an A/C request, the ECM energises the compressor clutch relay. The
compressor clutch relay is located in the engine compartment fuse box. It is a four pin normally open relay. This means
that the relay must be energised to drive the compressor clutch. During periods of high driver demand such as hard
acceleration or maximum rev/min the ECM will disable the compressor clutch for a short time. This is to reduce the
load on the engine.
The operation of the A/C request is via a switch being connected to earth. Voltage is supplied via pin 9 of connector
C0658 of the ECM, at the point at which the switch is pressed the connection to the earth path is made and the
compressor clutch is engaged.
The ECM provides the earth for the relay windings to allow the compressor clutch relay contacts to close and the
compressor clutch drive to receive battery voltage. The ECM uses a transistor as a switch to generate an open circuit
in the earth path of the relay windings. When the ECM closes down the earth path, the return spring in the relay will
pull the contacts apart to shut down the compressor clutch drive. Fuse 6, located in the engine compartment fuse box,
provides voltage to the compressor clutch relay switching contacts. The relay windings are supplied with battery
voltage from the main relay, also located in the engine compartment fuse box. The earth path for the relay windings
is via pin 29 of the ECM connector C0658. When the relay is energised the output from the switching contacts is
directly to the compressor clutch.
Cooling fan request
The A/C fan request is an input to the ECM from the ATC ECU to request that the engine's electric cooling fan is
activated to provide additional cooling for the A/C condenser.
The cooling fan relay is located in the engine compartment fuse box and is also controlled by the ECM. It is a four pin
normally open relay. This means that the relay must be energised to drive the cooling fan. The cooling fan is used
especially when the engine is operating at excessively high temperatures. It is also used as a part of the ECM backup
strategy if the ECT sensor fails.
The operation of the cooling fan request is via a switch being connected to earth. Voltage is supplied via pin 23 of
connector C0658 of the ECM, at the point at when the switch is pressed the connection to the earth path is made and
the cooling fan is engaged.
The ECM provides the earth for the cooling fan relay windings to allow the relay contacts to close and the cooling fan
motor to receive battery voltage. The ECM uses a transistor as a switch to generate an open circuit in the earth path
of the relay windings. When the ECM closes down the earth path, the return spring in the relay will pull the contacts
apart to shut down the cooling fan motor drive. Input to the A/C cooling fan relay switching contacts is via fuse 4
located in the engine compartment fuse box. The relay windings are supplied with battery voltage from the main relay,
also located in the engine compartment fuse box. The earth path for the relay windings is via pin 4 of the ECM
connector C0658. When the relay is energised the output from the switching contacts is directly to the cooling fan
motor.

lSecondary air injection pump (where fitted)
The ECM also interfaces with the following:
lDiagnostics via diagnostic connector with TestBook.
lController Area Network (CAN) link to EAT ECU.
lAir conditioning system.
lSelf Levelling & Anti-lock Braking System (SLABS) ECU.
lImmobilisation system via the body control unit (BCU).
lInstrument cluster.
lCruise control ECU
lActive Cornering Enhancement (ACE) ECU
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 reconfigured up to 16 times to meet changing specifications and legislation.
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.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-32 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) (C0641)
The IACV is located on the side of the air inlet pipe on top of the engine. The IACV is used to maintain good quality
idle speed under all operating conditions.
When an engine is running at idle it is subject to a combination of internal and external loads that can affect idle speed.
These loads include engine friction, water pump, alternator operation, and air conditioning.
The IACV acts as an air bypass valve. The ECM uses the IACV to enable the closed loop idle speed calculation to be
made by the ECM. This calculation regulates the amount of air flow into the engine at idle, therefore compensating
for any internal or external loads that may affect idle speed.
The IACV utilises two coils that use opposing PWM signals to control the position of opening/closing of a rotary valve.
If one of the circuits that supply the PWM signal fails, the ECM closes down the remaining signal preventing the IACV
from working at its maximum/ minimum setting. If this should occur, the IACV automatically resumes a default idle
position. In this condition, the engine idle speed is raised and maintained at 1200 rev/min with no load placed on the
engine.
The idle speed in cold start condition is held at 1200 rev/min in neutral for 20 seconds and ignition timing is retarded
as a catalyst heating strategy. The cold start idle speed and the default idle position give the same engine speed 1200
rev/min, and although they are the same figure they must not be confused with each other as they are set separately
by the ECM.
Note that the rotary valve must not be forced to move by mechanical means. The actuator can not be
serviced; if defective, the entire IACV must be replaced.
Input/Output
The input to the IACV is a 12 volt signal from fuse 2 located in the engine compartment fuse box. The output earth
signal to open and close the actuator is controlled by the ECM as follows:
lIACV (open signal) - via pin 42 of connector C0636 of the ECM
lIACV (closed signal) - via pin 43 of connector C0636 of the ECM
The IACV can fail the following ways or supply incorrect signal:
lActuator faulty.
lRotary valve seized.
lWiring loom fault.
lConnector fault.
lIntake system air leak.
lBlocked actuator port or hoses.
lRestricted or crimped actuator port or hoses.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-40 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Air Temperature Control (ATC) request
The ATC request comes via the ATC switch located in the facia panel. When the driver operates the switch it acts as
a request from the ATC ECU to engage the ATC clutch to drive the system.
During periods of high driver demand such as hard acceleration or maximum rev/min the ATC clutch will be disabled
for a short time. This is to reduce the load on the engine.

+ AIR CONDITIONING, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Input/Output
The operation of the ATC request is via a switch being connected to earth. Voltage is supplied via pin 38 of connector
C0637 of the ECM, at the point at when the switch is pressed the connection is made and the ATC clutch is engaged.
The ATC request can fail as follows:
lOpen circuit.
lShort circuit to voltage supply.
lShort circuit to vehicle earth.
lWiring loom fault.
In the event of an ATC request failure, the ATC system does not work.
Should a malfunction of the component occur the following fault codes may be evident and can be retrieved by
TestBook.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-41
Input/Output
The ECM provides the earth for the relay coil to allow the relay contacts to close and the ATC clutch drive to receive
battery voltage. The ECM uses a transistor as a switch to generate an open circuit in the earth path of the relay coil.
When the ECM opens the earth path, the return spring in the relay will pull the contacts apart to shut down the ATC
clutch drive.
Input to the ATC clutch relay switching contacts is via fuse 6 located in the engine compartment fuse box. The relay
coils are supplied with battery voltage from the main relay, also located in the engine compartment fuse box. The earth
path for the relay coil is via pin 29 of the ECM C0657 connector. When the relay is energised the output from the
switching contacts goes directly to the ATC compressor clutch.
The ATC clutch relay can fail in the following ways:
lRelay open circuit.
lShort circuit to vehicle supply.
lShort circuit to vehicle earth.
lBroken return spring.
In the event of an ATC clutch relay failure, the ATC does not work.
Should a malfunction of the component occur, the following fault codes may be evident and can be retrieved by
TestBook.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-46 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Idle speed control
The ECM regulates the engine speed at idling. The ECM uses the idle air control valve (IACV) to compensate for the
idle speed drop that occurs when the engine is placed under greater load than usual. When the throttle is in the rest
position i.e. it has not been pressed, the majority of intake air that the engine consumes comes from the idle air control
valve.
IACV control idle speed
Conditions in which the ECM operates the IACV control idle speed is as follows:
lIf any automatic transmission gears other than P or N are selected.
lIf air conditioning is switched on.
lIf cooling fans are switched on.
lAny electrical loads activated by the driver.
Function
The idle air control valve utilises two coils that use opposing pulse width modulated (PWM) signals to control the
position of a rotary valve. If one of the circuits that supplies the PWM signal fails, the ECM closes down the remaining
signal preventing the idle air control valve from working at its maximum/ minimum setting. If this should occur, the idle
air control valve assumes a default idle position at which the engine idle speed is raised to 1200 rev/min with no load
placed on the engine.
Evaporative emission control
Due to increasing legislation, all new vehicles must be able to limit evaporative emissions (fuel vapour) from the fuel
tank.
The ECM controls the emission control system using the following components:
lEVAP canister.
lPurge valve.
lCanister vent solenoid (CVS) valve – (NAS vehicles with vacuum type EVAP system leak detection capability
only)
lFuel tank pressure sensor – (NAS vehicles with vacuum type EVAP system leak detection capability only)
lFuel leak detection pump – (NAS vehicles with positive pressure type EVAP system leak detection capability
only)
lInterconnecting pipe work.
Refer to Emissions section for operating conditions of evaporative emission systems.

+ EMISSION CONTROL - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Evaporative emission control operation.
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) - North American Specification vehicles only
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.
On vehicles fitted with automatic gearbox, the ECM combines with the Electronic Automatic Transmission (EAT) ECU
to provide the OBD strategy.
Conditions
If the OBD function of the ECM flags a fault during its operation, it falls into one of the following categories:
lmin = minimum value of the signal exceeded.
lmax = maximum value of the signal exceeded.
lsignal = signal not present.
lplaus = an implausible condition has been diagnosed.

BRAKES
70-18 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The SLABS ECU continually calculates vehicle speed using the wheel speed inputs from all four ABS sensors. The
calculated vehicle speed is then used as a reference against which individual wheel speeds are monitored for
unacceptable acceleration or deceleration. The ABS sensor inputs are also used by the SLABS ECU to detect vehicle
deceleration rate, vehicle cornering rate and rough terrain.
The engaged forward gear and (on manual gearbox models) the clutch status are computed from the engine data
input, the engine speed input and vehicle speed. Reverse gear status is provided by an input from the reverse lamp
switch (manual gearbox models) or the BCU (automatic gearbox models). On automatic models, the BCU also
provides the neutral selected input.
In addition to controlling the brake related functions, the SLABS ECU:
lControls the operation of the self levelling suspension (SLS) system (where fitted).

+ REAR SUSPENSION, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
lOn V8 models, outputs a rough road signal to the ECM when traversing rough terrain.
