DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION DESCRIPTION
General
An engine control module (ECM) controls the five cylinder direct injection diesel engine, and works on the drive by
wire principal. This means there is no throttle cable, the ECM controls the drivers needs via a signal from the
Throttle Position (TP) sensor on the throttle pedal.
The ECM is a full authoritative diesel specific microprocessor that also incorporates features for air conditioning. In
addition, the ECM supplies output...

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)
The ECM is made from aluminium alloy and is located under the RH front seat. The ECM has an interface of 72
pins via two connectors providing both input information and output control. The ECM receives information from
the sensors to inform it of the current state of the engine. The ECM then refers this information to stored values in
its memory and makes any changes to the operation of the engine necessary via the...

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION SENSOR - MASS AIR FLOW (MAF)
The MAF sensor is located in the intake system between the air filter housing and the turbocharger. The ECM
uses the information generated by the MAF sensor to control exhaust gas recirculation (EGR).
The MAF sensor works on the hot film principal. The MAF sensor has 2 sensing elements contained within a film.
One element is controlled at ambient temperature e.g. 25°C (77°F) while the other is heated to 200°C (360°F)
