Description And Operation: Introduction
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Jaguar XK, 2014 Jaguar XK, 2013 Jaguar XK, and 2012 Jaguar XK. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The EEC (electronic engine control) system operates the engine to generate the output demanded by the accelerator pedal and loads imposed by other systems. The EEC system has an ECM (engine control module) that uses a torque-based strategy to evaluate inputs from sensors and other systems, then produces outputs to engine actuators to produce the required torque.
The EEC system controls the following:
- Charge air
- Fueling
- Ignition timing
- Valve timing
- Cylinder knock
- Idle speed
- Engine cooling fan
- Evaporative emissions
- On-board diagnostics
- Immobilization system interface
- Speed control.
