ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-51
Should a malfunction of the rough road signal occur, the following fault codes may be evident and can be retrieved
by TestBook:
Hill Descent Control (HDC) signal
The ECM transmits throttle angle, engine torque, engine identification (Td5 or V8), and transmission type (automatic
or manual) data to the SLABS ECU to support the Hill Descent Control system. The information is transmitted via a
0 – 12V pulse width modulated (PWM) signal at a frequency of 179.27 Hz.
Function
The HDC signal output from the ECM is via pin 29 of connector C0636. The ECM generates a PWM signal that varies
in pulse width in accordance with changing throttle angle or engine torque. The throttle angle data is transmitted on
pulses 1, 3, 5 and 37. The engine torque data is transmitted on pulses 2,4,6 and 38. The engine and transmission
information is transmitted on pulse 39. A synchronising pulse is transmitted after every 39th pulse.
The HDC signal can fail in the following ways:
lHarness or connector damage
A HDC signal failure may be evident from the following:
lHDC / ABS warning light on
lHDC inoperative
lAudible warning
Should a malfunction of the HDC signal occur, the following fault codes may be evident and can be retrieved by
TestBook:
Low fuel level signal
When the fuel level in the fuel tank becomes low enough to illuminate the low fuel level warning lamp in the instrument
cluster, the instrument cluster generates a low fuel level signal. If the low fuel level signal is present during the ECM
misfire detection function the ECM can use it to check for a 'false misfire'.
Conditions
The fuel sender generates the low fuel level signal when the fuel sender resistance is greater than 158
± 8 ohms.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-53
Function
The CAN system uses a twisted pair of wires to form the 'data bus' to minimise electrical interference. This method of
serial interface is very reliable and very fast. The information messages are structured so that each of the receivers
(ECM or EAT ECU) is able to interpret and react to the messages sent.
The CAN 'data bus' is directly connected between pin 36 of connector C0637 of the ECM and pin 16 of connector
C0193 at the EAT ECU, and pin 37 of connector C0637 of the ECM and pin 44 of connector C0193 at the EAT ECU.
The CAN system can fail in the following ways:
lCAN data bus wiring open circuit.
lCAN data bus wiring short circuit.
In the event of a CAN data bus failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lMIL illuminated after 2 drive cycles (NAS only).
lEAT defaults to 3rd gear only.
lHarsh gearshifts.
l'Sport' and 'manual' lights flash alternately.
Should a malfunction of the component occur the following fault codes may be evident and can be retrieved by
TestBook.

FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM - TD5
19-1-10 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Water sensor
The water sensor has a three pin electrical connector. When the sensor detects water in the filter it illuminates a
warning lamp in the instrument pack .

+ INSTRUMENTS, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
The water sensor attachment thread has a slot machined down one side. The filter can be purged of water by partially
unscrewing the sensor which aligns the slot in the threads with a corresponding hole in the sensor. When aligned,
water and fuel can flow down the slot and flows from a small cast tube on the side of the sensor. Re-tightening the
sensor misaligns the slot and stops the flow of fuel.
The water sensor receives a battery supply from the fuel pump relay in the engine compartment fusebox on one of
the electrical connector pins. The two remaining pins are connected to the instrument pack and an earth header joint.
The sensor operation uses the measurement of resistance between two electrodes submerged in the fuel and
activated by the presence of water.
When the ignition is moved to position II the warning lamp will illuminate for approximately two seconds to check
warning lamp functionality. TestBook can also illuminate the warning lamp to check its functionality.
When the filter is full with fuel and no water is present the resistance of the Diesel fuel will show a reading of 15 mA
maximum on the feed wire to the instrument pack. This current will not illuminate the water sensor warning lamp in
the instrument pack. When sufficient water surrounds both electrodes the resistance of the water will show a reading
of 130 mA maximum. This will supply sufficient voltage to the instrument pack to illuminate the warning lamp to alert
the driver to the presence of water in the fuel system.

FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM - V8
19-2-8 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Fuel pressure regulator
The fuel pressure regulator is located in the underside of the top cover. The regulator is sealed with two 'O' rings and
retained with a clip.
The regulator is connected to the fuel feed pipe at the top of the pump housing and maintains the fuel pump delivery
pressure to 3.5 bar (50 lbf.in
2). When the fuel delivery pressure exceeds 3.5 bar (50 lbf.in2), the regulator opens and
relieves excess pressure back to the swirl pot via a return pipe. The regulator ensures that the fuel rails and injectors
are supplied with a constant pressure.
The fuel pump delivery pressure and pressure regulator operating pressure can be checked using a Schraeder type
valve located at the rear of the engine on the fuel rail. The valve allows the pump delivery pressure to be measured
using a suitable gauge and an adaptor and hose which are special tools.
Fuel gauge sender
The fuel gauge sender unit comprises a rotary potentiometer operated by a float. The float rises and falls with the fuel
level in the tank and moves the potentiometer accordingly.
Battery voltage is supplied to the potentiometer. The output voltage from the potentiometer varies according to the
resistance through the potentiometer in relation to the fuel level. The output voltage is connected to the fuel gauge in
the instrument pack. The fuel gauge receives a battery voltage input and this is compared with the output voltage from
the potentiometer. The difference between the two voltages determines the deflection of the fuel gauge pointer.

5Spring6Valve needle and armature
7Valve seat/spray orifice
8Plastic housing
9Solenoid winding
An injector for each cylinder is mounted externally in the lower inlet manifold on the engine. The injector protrudes
into the inlet manifold tract, where it releases a controlled delivery of fuel into the manifold air inlet.
Each injector is sealed to the fuel rail and the inlet manifold with 'O' rings. Spring clips retain each injector to the fuel
rail and the attachment of the fuel rail clamps the injectors in the lower manifold.
The injector housing is manufactured from plastic which encapsulates a high-alloy steel housing. The steel housing
contains all components which come into contact with fuel. The plastic housing also provides the attachment for the
engine harness connector for the injector. A solenoid is located between the two housings and moves a valve needle
via an armature. The valve needle seats on a valve seat which incorporates a spray orifice plate. A filter strainer is
fitted at the connection with the fuel rail to remove any particulate matter from the fuel before it enters the injector.
When the ECM energises the solenoid, the armature moves lifting the valve needle off its seat. This allows
pressurised fuel from the fuel rail to pass through the injector housing and needle to the spray orifice. The spray orifice
controls the spray shape and fuel metering. When the solenoid is de-energised, the valve needle returns to the valve
seat, aided by a spring, closing off the injection of fuel into the inlet.
Each injector receives a battery supply voltage via a fuse in the engine compartment fusebox. The fuel delivery timing
is controlled by the ECM, which, at a precisely timed interval, provides a ground path for the injector. The completion
of the ground path operates the injector to allow fuel at pump pressure to be delivered from the fuel rail to the injector
nozzle. Each injector sprays a finely atomized spray of fuel into the inlet, where it is mixed with the intake air prior to
combustion.

+ ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description - engine
management.
Faults for each injector are stored in the ECM and can be retrieved using TestBook. Each injector can be checked
across the two connector pins. For a correctly functioning injector a resistance of between 13.8 and 15.2 ohms at a
temperature of 20
°C (65°F) should be read across the pins.
