1.2 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 sub jected to an under bonn et 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 s ystems. Refer to the battery disconnectio n
procedure in Section 00 Warnings, Cautions and Notes before disconnectin g 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 connec tors before attempting any electric welding o n the
vehicle.
• Do not start the engine if the battery terminal is not properly secured to the batter y.
• 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 conn ector, or
− battery terminal leads.
• Ensure the correct procedure for disconnecti ng and connecting engine management system wiring connectors is
always follo wed.
• 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 connecto r 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 dischar ge (ESD)
damage may result. For further information, refer to Section 00 Warnings, Cautions and Notes.
• When steam or pressure cleanin g en gines, 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 fue l lines that can be spilled during s ervice
operations. To reduce the cha nce of perso nal injury, cover the fittings with a shop towel to absorb an y fuel spillage
prior to performing the service operation. Once the service operati on 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. Refer to Section 00 Warnings, Cautions and Notes for further information on fasteners.
Engine Management – V6 – Service Operations Page 6C1-3–6
Page 6C1-3–6
• After removing components, such as the upper or lower intake manifold, front engine pipe, heated oxygen sensor,
etc. always plug any open ings to prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering.
• Do not use silicone based assembly lubricants as damage to the he ated oxygen sensors may result.
Use of incorrect electrical test equipment

LT Section No. — 00–450
To avoid the possibility of personal injury,
allow the exhaust pipe to cool to ambient
temperature (less than 50°C) before
attempting to remove the oxygen sensor.
All Alloytec engin es now have four heated o x ygen sensors (HO2S), with the pre-catalytic converter HO2S being of the
six wire wide-band type, and the post-catalytic converter HO2S the four wire planar type.
The pre-catalytic converter HO2S wiring connects to the engine wiring harness, whilst the post-catalytic converter HO2S
connect to the transmission wiring harness.
Service Precautions
• Handle the HO2S carefully. Do not drop it, and keep it free of grease, dirt and other contaminants. Do not use
cleaning solvents of any type on the HO2S.
• Do not repair the HO2S or any of its parts. Replace the HO2S if any damage is evident.
• The HO2S may be difficult to remove when the engine is cold. Excessive f orce may damage the threads in the

Worn or dirty plugs can give satisfactory operation while the vehicle is idl ing, but break down under load.
This can cause:
• Poor fuel economy,
• Power loss,
• Acceleration loss,
• Difficult starting, or
• Poor engine performance.
Carbon Fouling
Carbon fouling is indicated by black carbon deposits. The black deposits are usually the result of slow-speed driving and
short runs. In these circumstances, the optimum engine operating temp erature is seldom reach ed.
Fouling can also be caused by:
• Worn piston rings,
• Faulty ignition,
• Rich fuel mixture, or
• Spark plugs that are rated too cold.
Excessive Electrode Wear
This often indicates:
• The engine is operating at high speeds,
• The engine is operating at levels that are consistently greater than normal,
• A plug that is rated too hot,
• Excessively lean fuel mixture, or
• Plug/s overheating due to insufficient tightening (caused b y combustion gases leaking past the threads).
Broken Insulator
Broken insulators are usually the result of improper installati on or carelessness.
Breaks in the upper insulator can result from a poor fitting spark plug socket or impact. The cracked insulator may n ot
show up until oil or moisture penetrates the crack. The crack is often just below the crimped part of the s hell and may not
be visible.
Breaks in the lower insulator often result from careless re-gapping and are usuall y visible.
This can also result from the plug operating too hot. For example, in periods of high speed operation or under heavy
loads.

Page 6C1-3–74
Normal Operation (1)
Brown or greyish-tan deposits and slight electrode wear indicate correct spark plug heat range an d mixed periods of high
and low speed driving.
Carbon Fouled (2)
Dry, fluffy black carbon deposits possib ly due to poor ignition output, a weak coil, excessive idling or slo w speeds under
light load. If spark plug temperatures remain too low for normal combustion, the deposits are not burned off.
Oil Fouled (3)
Wet, oily deposits with minor electrode wear possibly due to oil leaking past worn piston rings.
Breaking in a new or recently overhauled engine before the rings are fully seated may also result in this condition.
Deposit Fouling A (4)
Red brown, yellow and white coloured coatings on the insul a tor tip which are by-products of combustion. They come
from fuel and lubricating oil which generally contain additives. Most powdery deposits have no adverse effect on spark
plug operation, however, they may cause intermittent missing under severe operati ng co nditions.
Deposit Fouling B (5)
Deposits similar to those identified in deposit fouling A (4). These are also by-products of combusti on from fuel and
lubricating oil. Excess ive valve stem clearances and / or defective intake valve se als allow too much oil to enter the
combustion chamber. The deposits will accumulate on the portion of the spark plug that projects into the chamber and
will be heaviest on the side facing the intake v alve. If this condition is only detected in one or two cylinder s, check the
valve stem seals.
Deposit Fouling C (6)
Most powdery deposits identified in deposit fouling A (4) have no adverse effect on the operation of the spark plug as
long as they remain powdery.
Under certain conditions of op eration however, these deposits melt and form a shiny glaze coating on the insulator.
When hot, this acts as a good electrical conductor allowing the current to flow along the deposit instead of sparking
across the gap.
Detonation (7)
Commonly referred to as engine knock or pinging, detonation causes severe shocks inside the combustion chamber
causing damage to parts.
Pre-ignition (8)
Burnt or blistered insulator tip and b adly eroded electrodes probably due to the excessive heat.
This is often caused by a cooling system blockage, sticking valves, improperly installed spark plugs or plugs that are the
wrong heat rating (too hot).
Sustained high speed with a heavy load can produce temperatures high e nough to cause pre-ignition.
Heat Shock Failure (9)
A rapid increase in spark plug tip temperature under severe operating conditions can cause heat shock and result in
fractured insulators. This is a common cause of broken and cracked insulator tips.
Insufficient Installation Torque (10)
Poor contact between the spark plug and the cylinder head seat.
The lack of proper heat transfer that results from poor seat contact causes overheating of the spark plug. In many cases,
severe damage occurs. Dirty threads in the cylinder head can cause the plug to seize bef ore it is seated.
Ensure the cylinder head and spark plug threads are free of deposits, burrs and scal e befo r e installation.
Engine Management – V6 – Service Operations Page 6C1-3–75
Page 6C1-3–75
Reinstall
Reinstallation of the spark pl ug is the reverse of the removal procedur e, noting the following:
• Discard the spark plug if it has been
dropped.
• Do not use anti-seize compound or similar
lubricant on the spark plug threads.
1 Using a suitably sized rubber tube attached to the spark plug terminal post, hand start each spark plug i nto the
cylinder head thread.
Failure to tighten a spark plug to the correct
torque specification may result in premature
spark plug failure, and / or engine damage.
2 Tighten the spark plug/s to the correct torque specification.
Spark plug torque specification...............16.0 – 20.0 Nm
3 Road test the vehicle and check for correct operation.
