Information

1.1 General

Description

This Section describes the correct service procedures to repair and test components of the V6 engine management
system. Emphasis is placed on the proper procedures and repair of components related to this specific system.

For component description, operation and location, refer to 6C1-1 Engine Management – V6 – General Information.

Engine cylinder identification follows the international
standard OBD II. This standard calls for the engine cylinder
bank number one to be identified by the location of cylinder
number one. Therefore the numbering for the V6 engine is:

•

1, 3, 5 – Right-hand side (Bank 1).

•

2, 4, 6 – Left-hand side (Bank 2).

The engine firing order is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Service Precautions and Requirements

Service Precautions

The following safety and precautionary
directions must be followed when servicing
the engine management system otherwise
personal injury and / or improper system
operation may occur:

•

If working on a vehicle which has been subjected to an under bonnet thermal incident (fire), wear appropriate
protective clothing to prevent personal injury. Components that contain fluoro-elastomer may produce a corrosive
bi-product when subjected to extreme heat.

•

Disconnection of the battery affects certain vehicle electronic systems. Refer to the battery disconnection
procedure in 6D1-3 Battery – V6 before disconnecting the battery.

•

Disconnect the battery negative lead when performing the following procedures:

•

disconnecting the engine control module (ECM) connectors, or

•

charging the battery.

•

Disconnect the battery negative lead and the ECM connectors before attempting any electric welding on the vehicle.

•

Do not start the engine if the battery terminal is not properly secured to the battery.

•

Do not disconnect or reconnect the following while the ignition is switched on or when the engine is running:

•

any engine management system component wiring connector, or

•

battery terminal leads.

•

Ensure the correct procedure for disconnecting and connecting engine management system wiring connectors is
always followed.

•

Ensure that all wiring connectors are fitted correctly.

•

The engine management system wiring connectors are designed to fit only one way; there are indexing tabs and
slots on both halves of the connector. Forcing the connector into place is not necessary if it is being installed with
the correct orientation. Failure to take care to match the indexing tabs and slots correctly can cause damage to the
connector, the module, or other vehicle components or systems.

•

Never touch the connector pins of any electronic component, such as an ECM, as electrostatic discharge (ESD)
damage may result.

•

When steam or pressure cleaning engines, do not direct the cleaning nozzle at engine management system
components.

•

Never subject the ECM to temperatures less than -40

° C and greater than 125° C.

•

Prior to disconnection or removal of any components associated with the fuel system, clean the area around any
connection points to avoid possible contamination of the fuel system.

•

A depressurised fuel system contains fuel in the fuel system and fuel lines that can be spilled during service
operations. To reduce the chance of personal injury, cover the fittings with a shop towel to absorb any fuel spillage
prior to performing the service operation. Once the service operation has been completed, place the towel in an
approved container for disposal.

•

To avoid accidental fuel discharge, it is advisable to disconnect the battery and remove the fuel pump relay if the
fuel line between the fuel pump and the fuel rail is to be disconnected / open for an indefinite period.

•

Always tighten fasteners to the correct tightening torque, and where indicated in the service procedure, follow the
correct tightening sequence, precautions and recommendations to prevent premature failure of the fastener or
component.

•

After removing components, such as the upper or lower intake manifold, front engine pipe, heated oxygen sensor,
etc. always plug any openings to prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering.

•

Do not use silicone based assembly lubricants as damage to the heated oxygen sensors may result.

Use of incorrect electrical test equipment
when performing engine management service
procedures could result in incorrect results or
component damage.

•

Use only the test equipment specified in the diagnostic tables. Use of other test equipment may either give
incorrect results or damage serviceable components, refer to, 6C1-2 Engine Management – V6 – Diagnostics.

•

After completing the required service operations, road test the vehicle to ensure correct engine management
system operation.

Service Requirements

Basic Knowledge Required

A lack of basic understanding of electronics,
electrical wiring circuits and use of electrical
circuit testing tools when performing certain
service procedures could result in incorrect
results or damage to components.

In addition, a general understanding of the engine management system and its component operation is essential to
prevent misdiagnosis and component damage.
