Description And Operation: Overview
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The electronic engine control system operates the engine to generate the output demanded by the Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor and loads imposed by other systems.
The electronic engine control system 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 electronic engine control system controls the following:
- Charge Air
- Fueling
- Ignition timing
- Valve timing
- Cylinder knock
- Idle speed
- Engine cooling fan
- Evaporative emissions
- On-Board Diagnostic (OBD)
- Immobilization system interface
- Speed control.
