ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - SIEMENS

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

18-4-9

ECM

The ECM is located in the engine compartment, in the E-box. Five connectors provide the interface between the ECM 
and the vehicle wiring.

The E-box is a lidded container that provides a protected environment for the ECM and the EAT ECU. An open hub, 
centrifugal fan powered by an electric motor ventilates the E-box with air from the passenger compartment. Exhaust 
air from the E-box is directed back into the passenger compartment. The ventilating and exhaust air is routed between 
the passenger compartment and the E-box through plastic ducting and corrugated rubber hoses. Operation of the 
cooling fan is controlled by a thermostatic switch in the E-box. The thermostatic switch receives a power feed while 
the ignition switch is in position II. If the temperature in the E-box reaches 35 

°

C (95 

°

F) the thermostatic switch closes 

and connects the power feed to the fan, which runs to cool the E-box with air from the passenger compartment. When 
the temperature in the E-box decreases to 27 

°

C (81 

°

F), the thermostatic switch opens and stops the fan. To prevent 

the fan seizing up in colder climates, where it may not operate for long periods of time, the fan also receives a power 
feed direct from the starter circuit so that it runs each time the engine is cranked.
