ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
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 actuators. This is a rolling
process and is called adaptive strategy. By using this adaptive strategy the ECM is able to control the engine to
give optimum driveability throughout all operating conditions. There is no ECM self test, although the ECM saves
driveability data from the last journey. Power down of the ECM can take between 10 seconds and 10 minutes
dependent on coolant temperature.
