Electronic Engine Controls: Overview
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Engine Management System (EMS) operates the engine to generate the output demanded by the Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor and loads imposed by other systems.
The EMS has a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) that uses a torque-based strategy to evaluate inputs from sensors and other systems and then produces outputs to engine actuators to produce the required torque.
The EMS controls the following:
- Charge air
- Fueling
- Ignition timing
- Valve timing
- Cylinder knock
- Idle speed
- Engine cooling fan
- Exhaust emissions
- Evaporative emissions
- Immobilization system interface
- Speed control.
