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:

l

NAS.

l

NAS low emission vehicles.

l

UK/ Europe/ Japan/ Australia.

l

ROW/ 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.
