Electronic Engine Controls - Overview (G1452620): Overview
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XFR, 2015 Jaguar XF, 2014 Jaguar XFR, 2014 Jaguar XF, and 2013 Jaguar XFR. 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
- Noise feedback system
- Idle speed
- Engine cooling fan
- Evaporative emissions
- On-board diagnostics
- Immobilization system interface
- Speed control.
