INTRODUCTION

Before testing separate components or systems, follow proper workflow. See DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article. If no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) are present and a no-start condition exists, proceed to appropriate BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES article. If no DTCs are present and a driveability condition exists, proceed to appropriate TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article for diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, ENGINE STALLS, etc.).

Discovery is equipped with Generic Engine Management System (GEMS). 1999-2000 Range Rover and Discovery Series II are equipped with Bosch Motronic 5.2.1 engine management system.

Note. Testing individual components does not isolate short or open circuits. Perform all resistance and voltage tests using a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance, unless stated otherwise in test procedure. Use ohmmeter to isolate shorted or open wiring harness.

CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR & CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR SYNCHRONIZATION

  1. CKP sensor is located on the left side of flywheel housing. CMP sensor is located on left front of engine.
  2. Compare CKP sensor wave pattern with known-good pattern. Check wave pattern for bent teeth on reluctor ring and regularity. See DTC P0335 & P0336: CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR MALFUNCTION testing in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article. If wave pattern is okay, go to next step. If CKP wave pattern is okay and engine misfire DTCs are set, see DTC P0300-P0308: MISFIRE DETECTED IN ONE OR MORE CYLINDERS testing in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article. If wave pattern is not okay, go to «CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR»(/land-rover/discovery/l318-1998-2002/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-system-component-testing__camshaft-position-cmp-sensor-circuit) .
  3. Compare CMP sensor wave pattern with known-good wave pattern. See DTC P0340: CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR MALFUNCTION in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article. If wave pattern is okay, go to next step. If wave pattern is not okay, go to «CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR»(/land-rover/discovery/l318-1998-2002/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-system-component-testing__camshaft-position-cmp-sensor-circuit) .
  4. Compare synchronization of CKP sensor and CMP sensor wave patterns with known-good patterns. See DTC P0340: CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR MALFUNCTION in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article. If wave patterns are synchronized, both sensors are okay. If wave patterns are not synchronized, go to «CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR»(/land-rover/discovery/l318-1998-2002/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-system-component-testing__camshaft-position-cmp-sensor-circuit) .

CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR CIRCUIT

Note. It is physically possible to interchange the camshaft sprocket installed on vehicles equipped with GEMS ignition system and vehicles equipped with Bosch Motronic 5.2.1 ignition system. However, because the GEMS and Motronic systems are incompatible, an incorrect camshaft signal will be received by the ECM and DTC P0340 will set.

  1. Check for CMP sensor output wave pattern. If there is no sensor output wave pattern, go to step 4 . If there is an output wave pattern, go to next step.
  2. Compare wave pattern with known-good wave pattern. See DTC P0340: CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR MALFUNCTION in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article. If wave pattern is okay, go to next step. If wave pattern is not okay, ensure correct cam reluctor ring and cam shaft are installed in engine. It is possible for an incorrect camshaft to be installed in engine. If camshaft and reluctor ring are correct, ensure CMP sensor is correctly installed. Repair as necessary and recheck wave pattern.
  3. Compare synchronization of CKP sensor and CMP sensor wave patterns with known-good patterns. See DTC P0340: CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR MALFUNCTION in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article. If wave patterns are synchronized, both sensors are okay. If wave patterns are not synchronized, cam timing is incorrect. Repair as necessary and recheck wave pattern.
  4. Remove CMP sensor. Without touching engine block, wave CMP sensor close enough to generate an output signal. If there is still no output signal from sensor, go to next step. If there is an output wave pattern, repeat step 2 . If step 2) has been repeated one time already, substitute a known-good ECM and recheck system. If symptom or indication goes away, replace original ECM.
  5. Check for poor connections or loose wires between CMP sensor and ECM. See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(/land-rover/discovery/l318-1998-2002/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-system-component-testing__wiring-diagrams) . Repair as necessary and recheck. If no problems are found with wires or connectors, replace CMP sensor and recheck. Ensure wave pattern is okay.

CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR CIRCUIT

  1. Check CKP sensor installation. Ensure sensor is secure, and that the heat shield and connector are correctly installed. If incorrect spacer is installed sensor will have either a weak signal or hit the reluctor ring. Remove CKP sensor and ensure tip is not bent or damaged. Repair or replace components as necessary.
  2. Remove "D" plate from transmission bell housing and inspect condition of reluctor ring. Rotate engine and check runout of reluctor ring. If any teeth are bent or reluctor ring does not run true, replace reluctor ring and flywheel. After replacing reluctor ring check CKP sensor wave pattern. See DTC P0335 & P0336: CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR MALFUNCTION testing in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article. If wave pattern is okay, repair is complete. If wave pattern is not okay, go to next step.
  3. Check for poor connections or loose wires between CKP sensor and ECM. See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(/land-rover/discovery/l318-1998-2002/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-system-component-testing__wiring-diagrams) . Repair as necessary and recheck wave pattern. If wave pattern is okay, repair is complete. If wave pattern is not okay, go to next step.
  4. Measure CKP sensor resistance between sensor terminals. Nominal sensor resistance is 1235-1365 ohms. If sensor resistance is not 1000-1600 ohms, replace CKP sensor and recheck CKP sensor wave pattern.

MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR (MAF) CIRCUIT

  1. In heavily polluted atmospheres MAF sensor may become contaminated causing incorrect voltage outputs. An air intake system that is restricted, has air leaks or missing components will cause incorrect voltage outputs. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between ground and MAF sensor 3-pin connector terminal No. 1 (Brown/Orange wire). See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(/land-rover/discovery/l318-1998-2002/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-system-component-testing__wiring-diagrams) . If battery voltage does not exist, go to next step. If battery voltage exists, go to step 3 .
  2. Measure voltage between ground and ECM Black 18-pin connector terminal No. 7 (Brown/Orange wire). If battery voltage does not exist, repair open or short in Brown/Orange wire between ECM and relay. See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(/land-rover/discovery/l318-1998-2002/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-system-component-testing__wiring-diagrams) . If battery voltage exists, repair open in Brown/Orange wire between MAF sensor and relay. See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(/land-rover/discovery/l318-1998-2002/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-system-component-testing__wiring-diagrams) .

VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR

See DTC P0500: VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR (VSS) SIGNAL OUT OF RANGE in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article.

Note. It is physically possible to interchange the camshaft sprocket installed on vehicles equipped with GEMS ignition system and vehicles equipped with Bosch Motronic 5.2.1 ignition system. However, because the GEMS and Motronic systems are incompatible, an incorrect camshaft signal will be received by the ECM and DTC P0340 will set.

  1. CMP sensor is located at the front of the engine block, above and behind the crankshaft pulley. CMP sensor is a magnetic switch used for switching battery voltage ON and OFF as slots in the camshaft sprocket pass by the sensor. This results in a 0.0-12.0 volt output signal sent as a square wave pattern to ECM 52-pin connector C0636 terminal No. 20 (Gray/Blue wire). (Scheme 24)and (Scheme 25). See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(/land-rover/discovery/l318-1998-2002/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-system-component-testing__wiring-diagrams).
  2. Check for a CMP sensor wave pattern. If there is no wave pattern, go to next step. If wave pattern is not as specified, ensure correct cam sprocket is installed. Ensure that CMP sensor air gap between sensor and the side of the camshaft sprocket is less than 0.08" (2.0 mm) and that "O" ring is not damaged. Perform repairs as necessary.
  3. Turn ignition off. Remove CMP sensor. Turn ignition on. Without touching engine block, wave CMP sensor close enough to generate an output signal. If no signal is generated, go to next step. If a signal is generated, ensure CMP sensor is correctly installed (install a NEW "O" ring) and check for excessive camshaft sprocket runout tolerance, excessive camshaft end-play, misaligned camshaft and crankshaft, incorrect speed signal correlation with CKP sensor signal or a magnetized camshaft sprocket.
  4. Turn ignition off. Check for continuity in Black wire between CMP sensor 3-pin connector terminal No. 1 and ECM 52-pin connector C0636 terminal No. 17. If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, repair open in Black wire.
  5. Turn ignition off. Check for continuity in Black wire between ground and CMP sensor 3-pin connector terminal No. 1 and ECM 52-pin connector C0636 terminal No. 17. If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, repair open in Black wire.
  6. Turn ignition off. Check for continuity in Gray/Blue wire between CMP sensor 3-pin connector terminal No. 2 and ECM 52-pin connector C0636 terminal No. 20. If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, repair open in Gray/Blue wire.
  7. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between ground and CMP sensor 3-pin connector terminal No. 3 (Brown/Pink wire). If battery voltage is present, go to next step. On Discovery Series II, if battery voltage is not present, check fuse No. 2 (15-amp) located in engine compartment fuse/relay box. On Range Rover, if battery voltage is not present, check fuse No. 26 (20-amp) located in engine compartment fuse/relay box. On all models, if fuse is okay, check Brown/Pink wire. Perform repairs as necessary.
  1. Check CKP sensor installation. Ensure sensor is secure, and that the heat shield and connector are correctly installed. If incorrect spacer is installed sensor will have either a weak signal or hit the reluctor ring. Remove CKP sensor and ensure tip is not bent or damaged. Repair or replace components as necessary.
  2. Remove inspection plate from transmission bell housing and inspect condition of reluctor ring teeth. Rotate engine and check reluctor ring runout. If any teeth are bent or missing, or reluctor ring does not run true, replace reluctor ring and/or flywheel. After replacing reluctor ring check CKP sensor wave pattern. CKP sensor signal is a 0-300 mV AC that changes as engine speed increases and decreases. If wave pattern is okay, repair is complete. If wave pattern is not okay, go to next step.
  3. Turn ignition off. Disconnect CKP sensor 3-pin connector and ECM 52-pin connector C0636. (Scheme 24)and (Scheme 25). See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(/land-rover/discovery/l318-1998-2002/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-system-component-testing__wiring-diagrams). Check for continuity between CKP sensor connector terminal No. 3 (Black wire) and ECM 52-pin connector C0636 terminal No. 45. If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, repair open in Black wire.
  4. Turn ignition off. Check for continuity between ground and ECM 52-pin connector C0636 terminal No. 45 (Black wire). If continuity does not exist, go to next step. If continuity exists, repair short to ground in CKP sensor shield circuit. If sensor shield is not properly grounded a false or interrupted signal may be result.
  5. Turn ignition off. Check for continuity between CKP sensor connector terminal No. 2 (Pink/Black wire) and ECM 52-pin connector C0636 terminal No. 46 (Pink/Black wire). If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, repair open or short in Pink/Black wire.
  6. Turn ignition off. Check for continuity between CKP sensor connector terminal No. 1 (Black/Yellow wire) and ECM 52-pin connector C0636 terminal No. 32 (Black/Yellow wire). If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, repair open or short in Black/Yellow wire.
  7. Turn ignition off. Reconnect ECM 52-pin connector C0636 and CKP sensor 3-pin connector. Turn ignition to START position. Check for a 0-300 mV AC signal at ECM 52-pin connector C0636 terminal No. 32 (Black/Yellow wire) as engine turns over. Voltage should vary and increase as engine speed increases with a peak voltage of approximately 300 mV. If signal voltage is not as specified, replace CKP sensor and recheck. If voltage is as specified, repair is complete.

Turn ignition off. Disconnect ECT sensor connector. Drain small amount of coolant. Remove ECT sensor from vehicle and measure resistance at various temperatures. Replace ECT sensor if not within specification. (Scheme 27)

  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect MAF/IAT sensor unit 5-pin connector. Turn ignition on and measure voltage between ground and connector terminal No. 2 (Brown/Pink wire). See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If battery voltage is present, go to next step. If battery voltage is not present, check for an open or short in Brown/Pink wire between MAF/IAT sensor and fuse (No. 2, 15-amp on Discovery Series II or No. 26, 20-amp on Range Rover) located in engine compartment fuse/relay box. Perform repairs as necessary.
  2. Turn ignition on and measure voltage between ground and MAF/IAT sensor connector terminal No. 4 (Red wire). If 5.0 volts is present, go to next step. If 5.0 volts is not present, check for an open or short in Red wire between MAF/IAT sensor and ECM 52-pin connector C0636 terminal No. 7. Perform repairs as necessary.
  3. Turn ignition off. Check for continuity between ground and MAF/IAT sensor connector terminal No. 3 (Red/Black wire). If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, check for an open or short in Red/Black wire between MAF/IAT sensor and ECM 52-pin connector C0636 terminal No. 9. Perform repairs as necessary.
  4. Turn ignition off and connect MAF/IAT sensor 5-pin connector. Start engine and allow to idle at normal operating temperature. Backprobe MAF/IAT sensor 5-pin connector terminal No. 1 (Gray/Light Green wire) and measure sensor output signal voltage. Output signal voltage should be approximately 0.0-5.0 volts and increase as engine speed and airflow increase. (Scheme 28) If voltage is as specified, go to next step. If voltage is not as specified, replace MAF sensor and retest.
  5. Start engine and allow to idle at normal operating temperature. Backprobe ECM 52-pin connector C0636 terminal No. 34 (Gray/Light Green wire) measure sensor output signal voltage. Output signal voltage should be approximately 0.0-5.0 volts and increase as engine speed and airflow increases. (Scheme 28) If voltage is as specified, go to next step. If voltage is not as specified, check Gray/Light Green wire for an open or short between MAF/IAT sensor and ECM. Check for poor connections, loose terminals, and wires. Perform repairs as necessary.
  6. Turn ignition off and connect MAF/IAT sensor 5-pin connector. Start engine and allow to idle at normal operating temperature. Backprobe MAF/IAT sensor 5-pin connector terminal No. 5 (Blue/Green wire) and measure sensor output signal voltage. Output signal voltage should be approximately 0.0-5.0 volts and increase as engine speed and airflow increase. (Scheme 29)table. If voltage is as specified, go to next step. If voltage is not as specified, replace MAF sensor and retest.
  7. Start engine and allow to idle at normal operating temperature. Backprobe ECM 52-pin connector C0636 terminal No. 23 (Blue/Green wire) measure sensor output signal voltage. Output signal voltage should be approximately 0.0-5.0 volts and increase as engine speed and airflow increases. (Scheme 29) If voltage is not as specified, check Blue/Green wire for an open or short between MAF/IAT sensor and ECM. Check for poor connections, loose terminals, and wires. Perform repairs as necessary.

FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE

Fuel pressure can be released at either the fuel supply line at the fuel rail or at the fuel filter. Position shop towel around fitting to protect against fuel spray. Carefully loosen fitting. When fuel pressure has been released, tighten fitting.

Fuel Pressure Test (Discovery)

CAUTIONDO NOT pinch or clamp fuel lines during the FUEL PRESSURE CHECK. Fuel lines will be damaged if pinched or crushed, causing fuel or vapor leaks.

Note. Regulated fuel pressure should be 35-37 psi (2.4-2.6 kg/cm 2 ) with engine at idle. Pressure will vary depending on amount of intake manifold vacuum acting on fuel pressure regulator.

  1. Ensure engine temperature is less than normal operating temperature. If engine is at normal operating temperature, there may be abnormal pressure readings because of hot-soak fuel vaporization. Removing fuel filler cap may reduce effect of fuel vaporization. Turn ignition off. Relieve fuel pressure. See «FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE»(/land-rover/discovery/l318-1998-2002/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-system-component-testing__fuel-system-pressure-release) . Install fuel pressure gauge to fuel rail. Install shut-off valves in fuel supply and return lines. Activate fuel pump and bleed air from fuel pressure gauge.
  2. Allow fuel pressure to stabilize and record fuel pressure. Turn fuel pump off and monitor gauge for changes in fuel pressure. If fuel pressure does not change, go to «FUEL INJECTOR BALANCE CHECK»(/land-rover/discovery/l318-1998-2002/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-system-component-testing__fuel-injector-balance-test) . If fuel pressure decreases, close shut-off valve on fuel supply line and check fuel pressure. If fuel pressure decreases, go to next step. If fuel pressure does not decrease, check valve in fuel pump is faulty. Replace fuel pump.
  3. If fuel pressure continues to decrease, close shut-off valve on fuel return line and check fuel pressure. If fuel pressure does not decrease, replace fuel pressure regulator. If fuel pressure continues to decrease, check fuel system for a leak. Repair as necessary. If no leaks are found, one or more fuel injectors may be leaking. Go to «FUEL INJECTOR BALANCE CHECK»(/land-rover/discovery/l318-1998-2002/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-system-component-testing__fuel-injector-balance-test) .

Fuel Pressure Test (Discovery Series II & Range Rover)

Note. Regulated fuel pressure should be 50 psi (3.5 kg/cm 2 ) with engine at idle.

Fuel pump delivery pressure and pressure regulator operating pressure can be checked using a Schraeder type valve located at the rear of the engine on the fuel rail. The valve allows the pump delivery pressure to be measured using a suitable gauge and an adaptor and hose. If fuel pressure is not as specified at engine idle, ensure fuel line is not pinched, crushed or damaged and that there are no loose or leaking connections. If fuel lines are okay, replace fuel pump/sending unit assembly.

FUEL CONTROL

CAUTIONTo avoid excessive fuel build up in cylinders during fuel injector balance check, start engine after each test series. Because of fuel vapor, use care when connecting test equipment to not cause any arcing.

Fuel Pump Current Draw

The maximum fuel pump current draw should be 6.5 amps at 12.5 volts.

Fuel Injector Balance Test

  1. Ensure engine temperature is less than normal operating temperature. If engine is at normal operating temperature, there may be abnormal pressure readings because of hot-soak fuel vaporization. Removing fuel filler cap may reduce effect of fuel vaporization. Turn ignition off. Relieve fuel pressure. See «FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE»(/land-rover/discovery/l318-1998-2002/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-system-component-testing__fuel-system-pressure-release) . Install fuel pressure gauge to fuel rail.
  2. Connect fuel injector tester to No. 1 injector. Connect tester Red lead to battery positive terminal and Black lead to battery negative terminal. Activate fuel pump and bleed air from fuel pressure gauge. Turn fuel pump off and allow fuel pressure to stabilize. Record stabilized fuel pressure. Set fuel injector tester for a 500 mS pulse.
  3. Using fuel injector tester, trigger fuel injector No. 1 and record stabilized fuel pressure. Move tester to fuel injector No. 2. Turn fuel pump on and allow fuel pressure to stabilize. Record stabilized fuel pressure. Trigger fuel injector No. 2 and record stabilized fuel pressure. Repeat procedure for remaining fuel injectors, recording fuel pressures before and after triggering each fuel injector. Ensure fuel system is pressurized before triggering each fuel injector.
  4. Compare injector pressure drop for all injectors to the average pressure drop. Injector pressure drop is the difference between recorded pressures before and after fuel injector is triggered. For example, if the pressure before the injector is triggered is 30 psi and after is 16 psi, the injector pressure drop will be 14 psi. Add pressure drop values for all 8 injectors and divide by 8 to obtain the average fuel injector pressure drop.
  5. The pressure drop for each injector should be within 2 psi (more or less than) of the average injector pressure drop. For example, if the average fuel pressure drop is 14 psi, then the injector pressure drop for each injector could be 12-16 psi.
  6. Closely monitor injector pressure drop on each cylinder that has a misfire. If an injector is clogged or restricted, the injector pressure drop will be more than 2 psi greater (i.e.: more than 16 psi) than the average. If the injector is allowing to much fuel or is leaking, the injector pressure drop will be more than 2 psi less (i.e.: less than 12 psi) than the average. Replace any injector with a fuel pressure drop more than 2 psi greater or less than the average pressure drop. If pressure drop for all injectors are within 2 psi of the average, go to «FUEL INJECTOR ELECTRICAL CHECK»(/land-rover/discovery/l318-1998-2002/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-system-component-testing__fuel-injector-electrical-test) .

Fuel Injector Electrical Test

  1. Using a backprobe set, connect Snap-On Personal Automotive Computer (PAC) tester to suspect fuel injector driver terminal. See «IDENTIFYING FUEL INJECTOR DRIVER CONNECTOR TERMINALS (GEMS)»(/land-rover/discovery/l318-1998-2002/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-system-component-testing) or «IDENTIFYING FUEL INJECTOR DRIVER CONNECTOR TERMINALS (BOSCH)»(/land-rover/discovery/l318-1998-2002/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-system-component-testing) table. Set Snap-On PAC tester to 100 volt scale and 5.0 mS. Start engine and allow it to idle. Compare fuel injector wave pattern with known-good wave pattern. (Scheme 32)
  2. If injector coil release spikes average approximately 80 volts, go to next step. An injector coil with a short will have average coil release spikes lower than 80 volts. Replace faulty fuel injector if coil release spikes average less than 80 volts.
  3. Reset Snap-On PAC tester to 50 volt scale. Start engine and allow to idle. Check "On" time voltage for each injector. If "On" time voltage is constant at one volt or less, fuel injector drivers are operating properly. If "On" time voltage is not constant at one volt or less, go to next step.
  4. If "On" time voltage is more than one volt, injector driver is not providing a consistent ground for the injector coil. Check for poor connections or loose wires between suspect fuel injector and ECM. See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(/land-rover/discovery/l318-1998-2002/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-system-component-testing__wiring-diagrams). Perform repairs as necessary. If no problems are found, substitute a known-good ECM and recheck for original symptom or indication. If symptom or indication goes away, replace original ECM.

Turn ignition off. Disconnect IAC valve 4-pin connector. Measure resistance of IAC valve motor coils between terminals "A" and "D", and between "B" and "C". See WIRING DIAGRAMS . If resistance either coil is not 51-55 ohms, replace IAC valve and ensure warm idle position is 20-30 steps.

Turn ignition on. Using a backprobe set, measure voltage at ECM Red 36-pin connector terminal No. 18 (Orange/Black wire). With shift lever in Park or Neutral voltage should be zero. With shift lever in Drive, battery voltage should exist.

IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE CIRCUIT (IACV)

CAUTIONThe IACV rotary valve may be damaged if it is forced to move by mechanical means.

Note. The ECM sets engine cold start idle speed and default idle speed at 1200 RPM. Although the engine idle speed is the same, one condition represents normal engine operation and the other does not.

  1. IACV has a 3-pin connector and is located on the side of the intake air duct. IACV is used to maintain good quality idle speed under all operating conditions. IACV has 2 coils that use opposing PWM signals to control the open or closed positions of a rotary valve. IACV OPEN PWM signal is sent from ECM 52-pin connector C0636 terminal No. 42 (Red/Green wire). IACV CLOSE PWM signal is sent from ECM 52-pin connector C0636 terminal No. 43 (Blue/Gray wire). If one of the PWM signals fails, the ECM closes down the remaining signal causing the IACV to revert to a default position.
  2. Check for an intake air system air leak. Check for blocked, restricted or crimped IACV actuator port or hoses.
  3. Turn ignition off. Disconnect IACV 3-pin connector. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between ground and IACV 3-pin connector terminal No. 2 (Brown/Orange wire). If battery voltage is present, go to step 5 . On Discovery Series II, if battery voltage is not present, check fuse No. 2 (15-amp) located in engine compartment fuse/relay box. On Range Rover, if battery voltage is not present, check fuse No. 37 (30-amp). On all models, if fuse is okay, go to next step. If fuse is not okay, replace fuse and recheck component operation.
  4. Turn ignition off. Check for continuity in Brown/Orange wire between fuse and IACV 3-pin connector terminal No. 2. If continuity does not exist, repair Brown/Orange wire as necessary. If continuity exists, check main relay operation and circuit between fuse and ignition switch. Perform repairs as necessary.
  5. Turn ignition off. Check for continuity in Red/Green wire between IACV 3-pin connector terminal No. 1 and ECM 52-pin connector C0636 terminal No. 43. If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, repair Red/Green wire as necessary.
  6. Turn ignition off. Check for continuity in Blue/Gray wire between IACV 3-pin connector terminal No. 3 and ECM 52-pin connector C0636 terminal No. 42. If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, repair Blue/Gray wire as necessary.
  7. Turn ignition off. Using a fused jumper wire, connect battery voltage to IACV terminal No. 2 (Brown/Orange wire). Using another jumper wire, alternately ground IACV terminals No. 1 (Red/Green wire) and No. 3 (Blue/Gray wire). Replace IACV if IACV actuator operation can not be detected.

IGNITION SYSTEM

Note. For basic ignition checks, see BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES article.

TIMING CONTROL SYSTEMS

Note. Ignition timing is controlled by Land Rover's Generic Engine Management System (GEMS) or Bosch Motronic 5.2.1 and is not adjustable.

ADVANCED EVAP SYSTEM (DISCOVERY)

CAUTIONUse only nitrogen gas to pressurize EVAP system. Compressed air can only be used to pressurize an EVAP system and fuel tank that has NEVER contained fuel. When compressed air and fuel vapors are mixed, they become highly volatile.

Note. Temperature differences between vehicle and test equipment can cause misleading test results because of expansion and contraction of test gases during test. Ensure vehicle and test equipment temperatures are similar.

EVAP System Pressure Test

  1. Ensure fuel filler cap is properly installed. Using Land Rover TestBook (use diagnostic disc DRG0002), close EVAP canister vent solenoid. Connect EVAPS Diagnostic Station System (LRA-19-004) to vehicle according to manufacturer instructions. Install Service Port Adapter (LRA-19-004-1) to line from fuel vapor separator, at EVAP canister. Connect EVAP diagnostic station Red hose to service port adapter. (Scheme 33)
  2. Open valve on nitrogen cylinder. Turn control panel valve to PRESSURE position and pressurize EVAP system to 14.5 in. H2O. Turn control panel valve to OFF/HOLD position and monitor pressure gauge for 2 minutes. If pressure decrease is less than 6 in. H2O within 2 minutes, system is okay at this time. Go to step 4. If pressure decrease is more than 6 in. H2O within 2 minutes, go to next step.
  3. Turn control panel valve to PRESSURE position and pressurize EVAP system to 30.0 in. H2O. Using an ultrasonic leak detector, check all system hoses, connections and joints for leaks. Repair as necessary and repeat EVAP system pressure test. When pressure test is completed, go to next step.
  4. Insert Blue pressure release hose into pressure exhaust evacuation pipe. Turn control panel valve to PRESSURE RELEASE position. Using TestBook, open EVAP canister vent solenoid. Monitor pressure gauge until EVAP system pressure is zero inches of H2O. Turn control panel valve to OFF/HOLD position and close nitrogen cylinder valve. When repairs are completed, perform «EVAP SYSTEM PRESSURE TEST DRIVE CYCLE»(/land-rover/discovery/l318-1998-2002/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-system-component-testing__evap-system-pressure-test-drive-cycle).

EVAP System Pressure Test Drive Cycle

  1. Turn ignition on for 30 seconds. Ensure Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is less than 140°F (60°C).
  2. Start engine and allow to idle for 2 minutes. Perform 2 light accelerations from zero to 35 MPH using light pedal pressure and slow to a stop. Perform 2 medium accelerations from zero to 45 MPH using moderate pedal pressure and slow to a stop. Perform 2 hard accelerations from zero to 55 MPH using heavy pedal pressure.
  3. When second acceleration cycle is completed, increase vehicle speed to 60 MPH and continue for 5 minutes. Reduce speed to 50 MPH and continue for 5 minutes. Reduce speed to 35 MPH, continue for 5 minutes and slow to a stop.
  4. Allow engine to idle for 2 minutes. Check for DTCs using Land Rover TestBook or OBD-II scan tool. If any DTC is indicated, perform specified repairs. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IDENTIFICATION table in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article. If no DTCs are indicated, repair is complete.

  1. Ensure fuel filler cap is properly installed. Using Land Rover TestBook confirm that DTCs displayed relate to an EVAP system fault. Inspect components in fuel and EVAP system for damage or poor connections. (Scheme 34)or (Scheme 35). Repair or replace components as necessary. Reset Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) using TestBook.
  2. Perform Drive Cycle. See «EVAP SYSTEM PRESSURE TEST DRIVE CYCLE»(/land-rover/discovery/l318-1998-2002/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-system-component-testing). Using TestBook confirm that the Evaporative Loss Control (ELC) Inspection and Maintenance (IM) flag has cleared. This procedure should confirm that the ELC test was carried out during the drive cycle and that the fault was corrected.
  3. If the IM flag is still indicated, use TestBook to check for a DTC is set or IM flag is still indicated, but no DTCs are set. If a DTC is set, perform DTC inspection and appropriate repairs. If a IM flag is still indicated, but no DTCs are set the conditions for the ELC check have not been met and the drive cycle must be repeated. Connect the EVAP Diagnostic Station to the service port and carry out the procedures given in the operating instructions supplied with the equipment. Perform repairs as indicated by the EVAP Diagnostic Station and repeat step 2.
  1. Switch ignition on for 30 seconds. Ensure engine coolant temperature is less than 140°F (60°C). Start the engine and allow to idle for 2 minutes.
  2. Perform 2 light accelerations, 0-35 mph, with light pedal pressure. Perform 2 medium accelerations, 0-45 mph, with moderate pedal pressure. Perform 2 hard accelerations, 0-55 mph, with heavy pedal pressure.
  3. Increase speed to 60 mph and cruise for 8 minutes. Decrease speed to 50 mph and cruise for 3 minutes. Allow engine to idle for 3 minutes. Connect Testbook and check for DTCs.
