ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-53

Function
With the ECM operating in the 'New' state, TestBook is required to instruct the ECM to learn the new BCU code. If the 
ECM is in delivery state (i.e. direct from the supplier), it will not run the vehicle and will store a new ECM fault code 
when it is fitted. This code must be cleared after instructing the ECM to learn the BCU code using TestBook.

When the ECM is in the 'Secure' state, no further action is required as the ECM has successfully learned the BCU 
code. A 'Secure' ECM can not be configured to a 'No Code' state. 

If the vehicle is fitted with an ECM with a valid code, the engine will start and the MIL will go out. 

However, if the ECM has an invalid BCU security code the engine will crank, start, and then immediately stall. The 
status of the security system can only be interrogated using TestBook. 

TestBook is able to retrieve the following immobilisation fault codes:

Misfire detection
Due to increasing legislation, all new vehicles must be able to detect two specific levels of misfire. 

Conditions
The ECM is able to carry out misfire detection as part of the OBD system using the following component parts:

l

Flywheel reluctor adaptation.

l

Calculation of engine roughness.

l

Detection of excess emissions misfire.

l

Detection of catalyst damaging misfire.

Function
The flywheel/ reluctor ring is divided into four segments 90

°

 wide. The ECM misfire detection system uses information 

generated by the CKP to determine crankshaft speed and position. If a misfire occurs, there will be an instantaneous 
slight decrease in engine speed. The ECM misfire detection system is able to compare the length of time each 90

°

 

segment takes and is therefore able to pinpoint the source of the misfire.

For the ECM misfire detection system to be calibrated for the tolerances of the reluctor tooth positions, the flywheel/ 
reluctor ring must be 'adapted' as follows:

l

1800 - 3000 rev/min = speed range 1.

l

3000 - 3800 rev/min = speed range 2.

l

3800 - 4600 rev/min = speed range 3.

l

4600 - 5400 rev/min = speed range 4.

The ECM carries out flywheel/ reluctor ring adaptions across all the above speed ranges and can be monitored by 
TestBook. The test should be carried out as follows:

l

Engine at normal operating temperature.

l

Select second gear (for both automatic and manual transmission vehicles).

l

Accelerate until engine rev limiter is operational.

l

Release throttle smoothly to allow engine to decelerate throughout the speed ranges.

l

Repeat process as necessary until all adaptations are complete.
