ECM correction (engine control module) 4.4L (Discovery 3)

ECM (engine control unit) has a function for correcting parameters that affect the nature of the control signal. This function enables the engine management system (EMS) to maintain exhaust gas toxicity within the established standards and optimize engine operation in the field of multi-parameter characteristics.

The components for which parameter correction can be performed are the following devices:

• APP sensor (accelerator pedal position sensor)
• Oxygen sensor (HO2S)
• MAF/IAT sensor (intake air temperature)
• CKP sensor (crankshaft position)
• Electronic throttle body

UHEGO/HEGO and MAF/IAT sensors (intake air temperature)

The original article is located on the website www.lrman.ru
The fuel management strategy uses several adaptive data maps. ECM-defined fuel management strategy (engine control unit) includes short-term correction and long-term collection. ECM (engine control unit) monitors the degradation of oxygen sensors over a period of time (HEGO and UHEGO). In addition, the ECM monitors the current correction in the circuit of these sensors.

In cases where the correction parameters go beyond the permissible values of the ECM (engine control unit) records a fault code. At the same time, the ECM (engine control unit) records the crankshaft speed, engine load and intake air temperature.

CKP sensor (crankshaft position)

CKP Sensor Signal Characteristics (crankshaft position) are stored by the ECM unit (engine control unit). This allows the ECM (engine control unit) calculate correction parameters and support the cylinder misfire detection function. Since all flywheels and CKP sensors (crankshaft position) are slightly different from each other, then when replacing (or when removing and installing) any of the named components, the correction parameters must be updated. The correction parameters must also be updated when the ECM is replaced. (engine control unit). ECM (engine control unit) supports four types of CKP sensor signal correction (crankshaft position) by determining the position of the crankshaft (flywheel). Each type of correction refers to a certain range of crankshaft rotation speed. The ranges of crankshaft rotation speeds are characterized in the table:

Correction	Crankshaft rotation frequency (speed), rpm
1	1800 - 3000
2	3001 - 3800
3	3801 - 4600
4	4601 - 5400

Missed Flash Detection

Legislation requires that ECM (engine control unit) could detect misfires in the cylinders. The ECM must distinguish between two types (levels) of misfires. The first type of misfire is one that results in a 1.5-fold increase in the total increase in toxic emissions when determined according to the Federal FTP method. The second type of misfire can damage the catalytic converter.

ECM (engine control unit) monitors the number of misfire occurrences in two specified speed ranges. If the number of detected ECMs (engine control unit) if the number of flashes missed in any of the speed ranges exceeds a preset value over two consecutive trips, the ECM (engine control unit) will record the fault code and related parameters: crankshaft speed, engine load and coolant temperature. In addition, the ECM (engine control unit) monitors the number of misfires per 200 crankshaft revolutions. These misfires are assessed for their potential to cause damage to the catalytic converters. If the number of misfires exceeds a certain value, the ECM (engine control unit) will record the neutralizer threat status code and related parameters: crankshaft speed, engine load and coolant temperature.



The shape of the crankshaft position sensor signal depends on the speed of the flywheel relative to the sensor tip. Each time a tooth of the timing gear passes the sensor tip, a sinusoidal signal is formed in the latter. ECM (engine control unit) determines the change in flywheel rotation speed (crankshaft) by changing the shape of the sinusoidal signal coming from the sensor.

Analysis of the received signal allows ECM (engine control unit) detect the fact of a missed flash. At this point in time, the ECM (engine control unit) evaluates the degree of change in the crankshaft position sensor signal and assigns a ripple factor to it. The ripple factor value can be monitored in real time using the T4. ECM (engine control unit) analyzes the signal by several parameters and makes a decision on whether to count the event or not. ECM (engine control unit) can establish the fact of misfiring and assign a coefficient of unevenness in relation to each individual cylinder.

Diagnostics using the T4 device

ECM (engine control unit) stores fault data as DTCs (diagnostic trouble codes) referred to as 'P' codes. 'P' codes are defined by OBD regulations and, along with their associated environmental conditions and freeze frame data, can be read using a third-party diagnostic tool or the T4. The T4 is also capable of reading sensor data, currently used parameter settings, and current fuel, ignition and idle parameters in real time.

Road Condition Adaptation System (Terrain Response)

The Terrain Response™ system allows the driver to select a program that adjusts traction and dynamic performance to suit the prevailing road conditions.

Part of the road adaptation system are various maps (algorithms) of throttle valve movement corresponding to the different modes of the Terrain Response™ system. The extreme cases of these algorithms are the sand driving algorithm (rapid increase in torque when pressing the pedal) and movement on grass/gravel/snow (smooth torque build-up).

For the V8 engine management system with a positive displacement supercharger, the throttle response is selected to use a fixed duration of time for the transition from one data map to another. At one pedal position, the transition from one map (algorithm) to another occurs in a fixed period of time. This means that the transition from map to map (different grip conditions) will take the same amount of time. In this case, the change in torque (difference in torque for one pedal position in different algorithms) may be small or large. In the first case, reduced vehicle dynamics are selected, in the second - a more dynamic mode. The resulting acceleration of the car will depend on the difference in torque in the two algorithms and on the selected gears and ranges. The worst case transition is adjusted so that when using gasoline of different quality, the user does not lose the feeling of the car.

Central mounting box

ECM (engine control unit) is connected to terminals I and II of the ignition switch. When the ignition key is turned to the ON position, 12 V is supplied to the ignition switch status sensor. The ECM then (engine control unit) starts power up routines and turns on the ECM power relay (engine control unit); power is supplied to the ECM (engine control unit) and devices of the systems associated with it. After turning off the ignition (oFF position) ECM (engine control unit) maintains power for 20 minutes while performing a shutdown procedure and then turns off the ECM power relay (engine control unit). ECM Disabling (engine control unit) typically occurs within 60 seconds. Do not disconnect the battery until the ECM has completely shut down. (engine control unit).
