rate and boost pressure are adjusted to the actual
injection quantity.
• Injection valve quantity drift compensation in
full load range: this function is to limit the maximum
injection quantity for engine protection. The injection
quantity signal is compared to the injection quantity
calculated from the oxygen sensor signal and MAF
signal. If the comparison shows that the actual injec-
tion quantity is too high, it is limited to the maxi-
mum permissible injection quantity
• Air-fuel ratio controlled smoke limiter (full load):
the smoke limiter limits the injection quantity on the
basis of the air-fuel ratio permissible at the smoke
limit depending on the measure mass air flow and
the calculated EGR rate. As a consequence, the gen-
eration of smoke due to an excess injection quantity
is avoided under all operating conditions. At the
same time, the oxygen sensor signal is used to
ensure that the air-fuel ratio is adjusted accordingly
A function referred to as air flow sensor drift com-
pensation detects and corrects the possible drifting of
the MAF sensor by comparing the air mass measured
by the MAF with the projected air mass as it is cal-
culated by the ECM in consideration of various influ-
encing
conditions.
compensation that gives the MAF air mass measure-
ment the precision needed to use it for the function
mentioned above. The high precision of the MAF
measurement enables the calculation of the actual
injection quantity from the measured air mass and
from the oxygen sensor signal in order to correct
injection quantity. The MAF signal can also be used
as a input parameter for the smoke limiter.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(2) Disconnect the ECM harness connectors (Fig.

(1) Position the ECM into the guide of the retain-
ing bracket (Fig. 4).
(2) Carefully push the ECM in to the bracket until
the bracket tensioning springs engage (Fig. 4).
(3) Connect the ECM wiring harness connectors
(Fig. 4).
(4) Connect negative battery cable.
TRANSMISSION CONTROL
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The transmission control module (TCM) receives,
processes and sends various digital and analog sig-
nals related to the automatic transmission. In addi-
tion, it processes information received from other
vehicle systems, such as engine torque and speed,
accelerator pedal position, wheel speed, kick-down
switch, traction control information, etc.
The TCM is located under the driver's seat and is
connected to other control modules via a CAN bus. It
controls all shift functions to achieve smooth shift
comfort in all driving situations considering:
• Vehicle speed.
• Transmission status.
