 Subsection XX (ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM)

GENERAL
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
A highly advanced engine management system
(EMS) is used to ensure a high power output with
cleaner combustion.
There are 5 main systems that interact with the
engine management system:
1. Electronic fuel injection
2. Ignition System
3. Starting System
4. O.T.A.S.

(Off-Throttle Assisted Steering)
1. ECM
5. iControl System 2. Air intake silencer
A. Connector "A" (Engine harness)
Engine Control Module (ECM) B. Connector "B" (Vehicle harness)

It features a permanent memory that will store

fault codes, customer information and other
engine information, even when the engine is
stopped and the battery is removed from the
vehicle.
The ECM controls the following engine manage-
ment functions:

Throttle Protection
ECM If the throttle is not completely closed during en-
gine startup, the engine will not start.
The ECM is the main component of the engine
management system. It controls the electrical To revert to normal operation, completely release
system and the engine management functions by the throttle lever.
processing the information obtained from various Engine RPM Limiter
switches, controls and sensors that it compares
to predetermined parameters stored in the ECM. The ECM monitors engine RPM through the CPS
and CAPS. It then varies fuel injection, ignition and
It also interacts with the other electronic systems throttle plate opening as necessary to limit maxi-
through the CAN bus (multifunction gauge and mum engine speed.
iControl System) for various functions that affect
engine management. Engine Speed Control
The ECM is mounted on the air intake silencer. The ECM controls the engine idle RPM. In addi-
tion, it can vary the engine speed by command-
ing the electronic throttle actuator (ETA) to open or
close based on throttle position and various other
inputs. The ETA also allows for other functions of
the iControl system.
Drowned Mode
If the engine is flooded and does not start, this
special mode can be activated to prevent fuel in-
jection and ignition while cranking in order to ven-
tilate the engine to dry the cylinder walls.
NOTE: This mode can also be used if the engine
is water-flooded.

Subsection XX (ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM)

To activate DROWNED MODE, proceed as per fol-

lowing steps.
1. Install the tether cord cap on the engine cut-off
switch.
2. While the engine is stopped, fully pull in and
HOLD the throttle lever.
3. Press the START/STOP button. DROWNED
MODE is now on.
Releasing the throttle lever will allow the ECM to
revert back to normal mode.
If the engine does not start, it may be necessary
to disable the ignition system, remove the spark
plugs and crank the engine with rags over the
spark plug holes. Refer to IGNITION SYSTEM
subsection.
Monitoring System
The ECM monitors:
– The electrical and electronic components of the
engine system
– The iControl system
– The multifunction gauge
– Some components of the electrical system
For more information, refer to DIAGNOSTIC AND
FAULT CODES.
Limp Home Mode
The ECM may automatically set the engine in
LIMP HOME MODE using default parameters
when certain major faults are detected. For more
information, refer to DIAGNOSTIC AND FAULT
CODES.
Diagnostic Mode
The ECM features a self-diagnostic mode that is
initiated on system power up for certain systems
and components (when pressing the START but-
ton), and when the engine is running for others.
Refer to DIAGNOSTIC AND FAULT CODES sub-
section for more information.
