DIAGNOSIS
STRATEGY-BASED DIAGNO STICS
The strategy-based diagnostic is a uniform approach
to repair all Electrical/Electronic (E/E) systems. The
diagnostic flow can always be used to resolve an E/E
system problem and is a starting point when repairs
are necessary. The following steps will instruct the
technician how to proceed with a diagnosis:
1. Verify the customer complaint.
To verify the customer complaint, the technician
should know the normal operation of the system.
2. Perform preliminary checks.
Conduct a thorough visual inspection.
Review the service history.
Detect unusual sounds or odors.
Gather diagnostic trouble code information to
achieve an effective repair.
3. Check bulletins and other service information.
This includes videos, newsletters, etc.
4. Refer to service info (manual) system check(s).
“System checks” contain information on a
system that may not be supported by one or
more DTCs. System checks verify proper
operation of the system. This will lead the
technician in an organized approach to
diagnostics.
5. Refer to service diagnostics.
DTC STORED
Follow the designated DTC chart exactly to make an
effective repair.
NO DTC
Select the symptom from the symptom tables. Follow
the diagnostic paths or suggestions to complete the
repair. You may refer to the applicable
component/system check in the system checks.
NO MATCHING SYM PTOM
1. Analyze the complaint.
2. Develop a plat for diagnostics.
3. Utilize the wiring diagrams and the theory of
operation.
Call technical assistance for similar cases where
repair history may be available. Combine technician
knowledge with efficient use of the available service
information.
INTERMITTENTS
Conditions that are not always present are called
intermittents. To resolve intermittents, perform the
following steps:
1. Observe DTCs and DTC modes
2. Evaluate the symptoms and the conditions
described by the customer.
3. Use a check sheet or other method to identify the
circuit or electrical system component.
4. Follow the suggestions for intermittent diagnosis
found in the service documentation.
Most Scan T ools, suc h as the Tech 2 and the 5-8840-
2392-0, have data-capturing capabilities that can
assist in detecting intermittents.
NO TROUBLE FOUND
This condition exists when the vehicle is found to
operate normally. The condition described by the
customer may be normal. Verify the customer
complaint against another vehicle that is operating
norm ally. T he condition may be intermittent. Verif y the
complaint under the conditions described by the
customer before releasing the vehicle.
1. Re-examine the complaint.
When the complaint cannot be successfully found
or isolated, a re-evaluation is necessary. The
complaint should be re-verified and could be
intermittent as defined in Intermittents, or could be
normal.
2. Repair and verify.
After isolating the cause, the repairs should be
made. Validate for proper operation and verify that
the symptom has been c orrec ted. T his m ay involve
road testing or other methods to verify that the
complaint has been resolved under the following
conditions:
Conditions noted by the customer.
If a DTC was diagnosed, verify a repair by
duplicating conditions present when the DTC
was set as noted in the customer complaint.
VERIFYING VEHICLE REPAIR
Verification of the vehicle repair will be more
comprehensive for vehicles with OBD system
diagnostics. Following a repair, the technician should
perform the following steps:
IMPORTANT: Follow the steps below when you verif y
repairs on O BD system s. Failure to f ollow these steps
could result in unnecessary repairs.

GENERAL SERVICE INFORMATION
OBD SERVICEABILITY ISSUES
FUEL QUALITY
Fuel quality is not a new issue for the automotive
industry. The Reed Vapor Pressure of the fuel can
also create problems in the fuel system, especially
during the spring and fall months when severe
ambient temperature swings occur. A high Reed
Vapor Pressure could show up as a rich DTC due to
excessive canister loading. High vapor pressures
generated in the fuel tank can also affect the
Evaporative Emission diagnostic as well.
Using fuel with the wrong octane rating for your
vehicle may cause driveability problems. Many of the
major fuel companies advertise that using “premium
gasoline will improve the performance of your vehicle.
Most premium fuels use alcohol to increase the
octane rating of the fuel. Although alcohol-enhanced
fuels may raise the octane rating, the fuel's ability to
turn into vapor in cold tem peratures deteriorates. This
may affect the starting ability and cold driveability of
the engine.
Low fuel levels can lead to fuel star vation, lean engine
operation, and eventually engine misfire.
NON-O E M PARTS
All of the OBD diagnos tics have been c alibrated to run
with OEM parts. Small leaks in the exhaust system
near the heated oxygen sensor can also cause the
MIL (“Check Engine“ lamp) to turn on.
Aftermarket electronics, such as cellular phones,
stereos, and anti-theft devices, may radiate EMI into
the control s ystem if they are improper ly installed. T his
may cause a f alse sens or reading and turn on the MIL
(“Check Engine” lamp).
POOR VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
The sensitivity of OBD diagnostics will cause the MIL
(“Check Engine” lam p) to turn ON if the vehicle is not
maintained properly. Restricted air filters, fuel filters,
and crankcase deposits due to lack of oil changes or
improper oil viscosity can trigger actual vehicle faults.
Poor vehicle maintenance can not be classified as a
“non-vehicle fault” , but with the sensitivity of OBD
diagnostics, vehicle maintenance schedules must be
more closely followed.
RELATED SYSTEM FAULTS
Many of the OBD system diagnostic s will not run if the
ECM detects a fault on a related system or
component. One example would be that if the ECM
detected a Evap. Purge Solenoid fault, The diagnosis
on the Oxygen Sensor (If applicable) would be
suspended until the Evap. Purge Solenoid repaired. If
this happened, the customer may have to make two
trips to the dealership in order to repair the vehicle.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule.
VISUAL /PHYSICAL ENGINE
CO MPARTMENT INSPECTION
Perform a careful visual and physical engine
compartment inspection when performing any
diagnostic procedure or diagnosing the cause of an
emis sion test failure. T his can of ten lead to repairing a
problem without further steps. Use the following
guidelines when performing a visual/thysical
inspection:
Inspect all vacuum hoses for punches, cuts,
disconnects, and correct routing.
Inspect hoses that are difficult to see behind other
components.
Inspect all wires in the engine compartment for
proper connections, burned or chafed spots,
pinched wires, contact with sharp edges or contact
with hot exhaust manifolds or pipes.
BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF TOOLS
REQUIRED
Notice: Lack of basic knowledge of this powertrain
when perform ing diagnostic pr ocedures c ould result in
an incorrect diagnosis or damage to powertrain
components. Do not attempt to diagnose a powertrain
problem without this basic knowledge.
A basic understanding of hand tools is necessary to
effectively use this section of the Service Manual.
SERIAL DATA CO MMUNICATIONS
This vehicle utilizes the serial data communication
system. Each bit of information can have one of two
lengths: long or short. This allows vehicle wiring to be
reduced by transmitting and receiving multiple signals
over a single wire. The messages carried on serial
data streams are also prioritized. If two messages
attempt to establish communications on the data line
at the same time, only the message with higher prior ity
will continue. The device with the lower priority
message must wait. For more information on this
system of coding. On this vehicle the Scan
Tool displays the actual values for vehicle parameters.
It will not be necessary to perform any conversions
from coded values to actual values.
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD)
ON-BO ARD DIAGNOSTIC TESTS

The test starts at an A/F ratio of 14.7 : 1.
The incremental control is 0.5 steps per keypress.
COMPREHENSIVE COMP ONENT
MO NITOR DIAGNOSTIC
OPERATION
Comprehensive component monitoring diagnostics
are involved to monitor emissions-related input and
output engine components.
INPUT COMPONENTS
Input components are monitored for circuit continuity
and out-of-range values. This includes rationality
checking. Rationality checking refers to indicating a
fault when the signal from a sensor does not seem
reasonable, i.e. Throttle Position (TP) sensor that
indicates high throttle position at low engine loads or
MAP voltage). Input com ponents may include, but are
not limited to the following sensors:
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor
Throttle Position (TP) sensor
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor
Intake Air Temperature Sensor (IAT)
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor
In addition to the circuit c ontinuity and rationality c hec k
the ECT sensor is m onitored for its ability to ac hieve a
steady s tate tem perature to enable “Clos ed Loop” fuel
control (If applicable).
OUTPUT CO MPONENTS
Output components are diagnosed for proper
response to control module commands. Components
where functional monitoring is not feasible will be
monitor ed f or c irc uit continuity and out-of-r ange values
if applicable.
Output components to be monitored include, but are
not limited to the following circuit:
Idle Air Control (IAC) Motor
EVAP Canister Purge Valve Solenoid
A/C relays
VSS output
MIL control
Refer to ECM and Sensors in General Descriptions.
PASSI VE AND ACTIVE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
A passive test is a diagnostic test which simply
monitors a vehicle system or component. Conversely,
an active test, actually tak es s ome sor t of action when
perfor m ing diagnostic functions , often in res ponse to a
failed passive test.
INTRUSIVE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
This is any on-board test run by the Diagnostic
Management System which may have an effect on
vehicle performance or emission levels.
WARM -UP CYCLE
A warm-up cycle means that engine at temperature
must reach a minimum of 70°C(160°F) and rise at
least 22°C(40°F) over the course of a trip.
COMMON OBD TERMS
DIAGNOSTIC FOR CLOSED LOOP SYSTEM
When used as a noun, the word diagnostic refers to
any on-board test run by the vehicle's Diagnostic
Management System . A diagnostic is sim ply a test run
on a system or component to determine if the system
or component is operating according to specification.
FOR CLOSED LO OP SYSTEM
There are many diagnostics, shown in the following
list:
Oxygen sensors
Oxygen sensor heaters
ENABLE CRITERI A
The termenable criteria” is engineering language for
the conditions necessary for a given diagnostic test to
run. Each diagnostic has a specific list of conditions
which must be met before the diagnostic will run.
“Enable criteria” is another way of saying “conditions
required” .
The enable criteria for each diagnostic is listed on the
first page of the DTC description under the heading
“Conditions for Setting the DTC” . Enable criteria
varies with each diagnostic, and typically includes, but
is not limited to the following items:
engine speed
vehicle speed
ECT
MAP
IAT
TP
high canister purge (If applicable)
A/C ON
TRIP
Technically, a trip is a key on-run-key off cycle in
which all the enable criteria for a given diagnostic are
met, allowing the diagnostic to run. Unfortunately, this
concept is not quite that simple. A trip is official when
all the enable criteria for a given diagnostic are met.
But because the enable criteria vary from one
diagnostic to another, the definition of trip varies as
well. Some diagnostics are run when the vehicle is at
operating temperature, some when the vehicle first
start up; som e requir e that the vehicle be c ruising at a
steady highway speed, some run only when the
vehicle is at idle. Som e run only im mediately following
a cold engine start-up.
A trip then, is defined as a key on-run-key off cycle in
which the vehicle was operated in such a way as to
satisfy the enabled criteria for a given diagnostic, and
this diagnostic will consider this cycle to be one trip.
However, another diagnostic with a different set of
enable criteria (which were not m et) during this driving
event, would not consider it a trip. No tr ip will occ ur f or
that particular diagnostic until the vehicle is driven in
such a way as to meet al the enable criteria
THE DIAGNOSTIC EXECUTIVE
The Diagnostic Executive is a unique segment of
software which is des igned to coordinate and prioritize
the diagnostic procedures as well as define the
protocol f or recording and displaying their r esults. T he
main responsibilities of the Diagnostic Executive are
listed as follows:
Commanding the MIL(“Check Engine” lamp) ON
and OFF
DTC logging and clearing
Current status information ON each diagnostic
The Diagnos tic Exec utive records DT Cs and tur ns ON
the MIL when em is sion- related f aults oc c ur. It c an als o
turn OFF the MIL if the conditions c ease which c aus ed
the DTC to set.
DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION
The diagnostic charts and functional checks are
designed to locate a faulty circuit or component
through a process of logical decisions. The charts are
prepared with the requirement that the vehicle
functioned correctly at the time of assembly and that
there are not multiple faults present.
Ther e is a continuous self -diagnosis on certain control
functions. This diagnostic capability is complimented
by the diagnos tic proc edur es contained in this manual.
The language of communicating the source of the
malfunction is a system of diagnostic trouble codes.
When a malf unc tion is detec ted by the control m odule,
a diagnostic trouble code is set and the Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (MIL)(“Check Engine” lamp) is
illuminated.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MI L)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) looks the same
as the MIL you are already familiar with (“Check
Engine” lamp).
Basically, the MIL is turned ON when the ECM detects
a DTC.
EXTINGUISHING THE MIL
The MIL (“Check Engine” lamp) is on the instrument
panel and has the following functions:
It informs the driver that a fault that affects vehicle
emission levels has occurred and that the vehicle
should be taken for service as soon as possible.
As a bulb and system check, the MIL will come on
with the key on and the engine not running. When
the engine is started, the MIL will turn OFF.
When the MIL remains on while the engine is
running, or when a malfunction is suspected due to
a driveability or emissions problem, a Powertrain
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check must be
performed. The procedures for these checks are
given in On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System
Check. These checks will expose faults which may
not be detected if other diagnostics are performed
first.
Once the ECM determines that a fault(s) has been
rectified then the MIL will switch OFF, although the
fault code will remain in the ECM memory.
Any fault codes will remain in ECM memory until -
1. They are cleared by disconnecting the Battery for
more than 30 seconds.
2. A service tool such as Tech 2 is used to clear them.
3. Ten consecutive starts without logging a fault.
Refer to clearing Diagnostic Trouble Code
DATA LINK CONNECTOR (DLC)
The Provision for communicating with the control
module is the Data Link Connector ( DLC). It is located
at the lower left of the instrum ent panel behind a s m all
square cover. The DLC is used to connect to a Scan
Tool. Some comm on uses of the Scan Tool are listed
below:
Identifying stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
Clearing DTCs
Performing output control tests
Reading serial data
READING FLASH DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE
CODES
The provision for communicating with the Engine
Control Module (ECM) is the Data Link Connector
(DLC). The DLC is located behind the lower front
instrument panel. It is used in the assembly plant to
receive information in checking that the engine is
operating properly before it leaves the plant.
The diagnostic trouble code(s) (DTCs) stored in the
ECM’s memory can be read either through a hand-
held diagnostic scanner plugged into the DLC or by
counting the number of f lashes of the ”Check Engine”
Malfunction lndicator Lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic
test terminal of the DLC is grounded. The DLC
terminal ”6” (diagnostic request) is pulled ”Low”
(grounded) by jumpering to DLC ter m inal ”5”, Whic h is
a ground wire.
This will signal the ECM that you want to ”flash”
DTC(s ), if any are pr esent. Once term inals ”5” and ”6”
have been connected, the ignition switch must be
moved to the ”ON” position, with the engine not
running. At this point, the ”Check Engine” MIL should
flash DTC12 three times consecutively.
This would be the following flash, sequence: ”flash,
pause, flash-flash, long pause, flash, pause, flash-
flash, long pause, flash, pause, flash-flash”. DTC12
indicates that the ECM’s diagnostic system is
operating. If DTC12 is not indicated, a problem is
present within the diagnostic system itself, and should
be addressed by consulting the appropriate diagnos tic
chart in DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS.
Following the output of DTC12, the ”Check Engine”
MIL will indicate a DTC three times if a DTC is
present, or it will simply continue to output DTC12. If
more than one DTC three has been stored in the
ECM’s memory, the DTC(s) will be output from the
lowest to the highest, with each DTC being displayed
three times.
READING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
USING A TECH 2
The procedure for reading diagnostic trouble code(s)
is to used a diagnostic Tech 2. When r eading DTC(s ),
follow instructions supplied by Tech 2 manufacturer.
CLEARI NG DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
IMPORTANT: Do not clear DTCs unless directed to
do so by the service information provided for each
diagnostic procedure.
If the fault that caused the DTC to be stored into
mem ory has been correc ted, the Diagnostic Executive
will begin to count the ”warm -up” c ycles with no further
faults detected, the DTC will automatically be cleared
from the ECM memory.
To clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), use the
Tech 2 ”clear DTCs” or ”clear information” function.
When clearing DTCs follow instructions supplied by
the Tech 2 manufacturer.
When a Tech 2 is not available, DTCs can also be
cleared by disconnecting one of the following sources
for at least thirty (30) seconds.
NOTE: To prevent system damage, the ignition key
must be ”OFF” when disconnecting or reconnecting
battery power.
The power sour ce to the contr ol m odule. Exam ples :
fuse, pigtail at battery ECM connectors etc.
The negative battery cable. (Disconnecting the
negative battery cable will result in the loss of other
on-board memory data, such as preset radio
tuning).
ON-BO ARD DIAGNO SIS (SELF-DIAG NOSIS)
1. The Engine Control Module (ECM) conducts a self-
test of most of the wiring and components in the
system each tim e the key is turned to ON, and can
detect faults in the system while the key is ON. If a
fault is detected, the ECM will store a trouble code
in mem ory and flash the CHECK ENGINE indicator
to alert the driver.
2. The Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) can be
displayed by shorting together terminals and of the
Data Link Connector (DLC) located behind front
console.
The CHECK ENGINE indicator will flash DTC 12
three times, followed by any DTC. If several DTC
are stored, each DTC will be displayed three times.
The DTC will be displayed in numerical order. The
DTC display will continue as long as the DLC is
shorted.
Some DT C can cause other DTC to be stored, It is
important to diagnose and repair the lowest
numbered DTC first before going on to the higher
numbered DTC.

VERIFYING VEHICLE REPAIR
Verification of vehicle repair will be more
comprehensive for vehicles with OBD system
diagnostics. Following a repair, the technician should
perform the following steps:
1. Review and record the customer complaint for the
DTC which has been diagnosed.
2. Clear DTC(s).
3. Operate the vehicle within conditions noted in the
customer complaint.
4. Monitor the DTC status information for the specific
DTC which has been diagnosed until the diagnos tic
test associated with that DTC runs.
Following these steps are very important in verifying
repairs on OBD systems. Failure to follow these steps
could result in unnecessary repairs.
READING DI AGNOSTIC TROUBLE
CODES USING A SCAN TOOL
The procedure for reading diagnostic trouble code(s)
is to use a diagnostic Scan Tool. When reading
DTC(s), follow instructions supplied by tool
manufacturer.
CLEARI NG DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
IMPORTANT: Do not clear DTCs unless directed to
do so by the service information provided for each
diagnostic procedure.
If the fault that caused the DTC to be stored into
mem ory has been correc ted, the Diagnostic Executive
will begin to count the “warm -up” c ycles with no further
faults detected, the DTC will automatically be cleared
form the ECM memory.
To clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), use the
diagnostic Scan Tool “clear DTCs” or “clear
information” function. When clearing DTCs follow
instructions supplied by the tool manufacturer.
W hen a Scan T ool is not available, DT Cs can als o be
cleared by disconnecting one of the following sources
for at least thirty (30) seconds.
Notice: To prevent system damage, the ignition key
must be OFF when disconnecting or reconnecting
battery power.
The power sour ce to the contr ol m odule. Exam ples :
fuse, pigtail at battery ECM connectors etc.
The negative battery cable. (Disconnecting the
negative battery cable will result in the loss of other
on-board memory data, such as preset radio

The following is a brief description of each of the sub
menus in DTC Info and Specific DTC. The order in
which they appear here is alphabetical and not
necessarily the way they will appear on the Scan Tool.
DTC INFORMATION MODE
Use the DTC info mode to search for a stored DTC
Refer to “Diagnostic Trouble Codes” list.
CLEAR DTC INFORMATIO N
The command for clearing DTC’s performs a
complete reset of the ECM.
PRIMARY SYSTEM-BASED
DIAGNOSTICS
There are primary system-based diagnostics which
evaluate system operation and its effect on vehicle
emissions. T he primary system-based diagnostics are
listed below with a brief description of the diagnostic
function:
FUEL CONTROL HEATED OXYGEN
SENSORS (IF APPLICABLE)
The main function of the fuel control heated oxygen
sensors is to provide the control module with exhaust
stream oxygen content information to allow proper
fueling and maintain emissions within mandated
levels. After it reaches operating temperature, the
sensor will generate a voltage, inversely proportional
to the amount of oxygen present in the exhaus t gas es.
The control module uses the signal voltage from the
fuel control heated oxygen sensors while in “Closed
Loop” to adjust fuel injector pulse width. While in
“Closed Loop” , the ECM can adjust fuel delivery to
maintain an air/fuel ratio which allows the best
combination of emission control and driveability. The
fuel control heated oxygen sensors are also used to
determine catalyst efficiency.
HO2S HEATER
Heated oxygen sensors are used to minimize the
amount of time requir ed for “Closed Loop” fuel contr ol
to begin operation and to allow accurate catalyst
monitoring. The oxygen sensor heater greatly
decreases the amount of tim e required for fuel control
sensor (HO2S) to become active.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The on-board diagnostic system check is the starting
point for any driveability complaint diagnosis. Before
using this procedure, perform a careful visual/physical
check of the ECM and engine grounds for cleanliness
and tightness.
The on-board diagnostic system check is an organized
approach to identifying a problem created by an
electronic engine control system malfunction.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection,
rubbed-through wire insulation or a wire broken inside
the insulation. Check for poor connections or a
damaged harness. Inspect the ECM harness and
connectors for improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, poor
terminal-to-wire connection, and damaged harness.
TEST DESCRIPTION
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart:
1. The MIL (“Check Engine” lamp) should be ON
steady with the ignition ON/engine OFF. If not,
isolate the malfunction in the MIL circuit.
2. Checks the serial data circuit and ensures that the
ECM is able to transmit serial data.
3. This test ensures that the ECM is capable of
controlling the MIL and the MIL driver circuit is not
shorted to ground.
4. If the engine will not start, the Cranks But Will Not
Run chart should be used to diagnose the
condition.

A/ C CLUTCH CONTROL CI RCUIT DIAGNOSIS
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When air conditioning and blower fan are selected,
and if the system has a suf ficient refrigerant charge, a
12-volt signal is supplied to the A/C request input of
the engine control module (ECM). The A/C request
signal may be temporarily canceled during system
operation by the electronic thermostat in the
evaporator case. The electronic thermostat may
intermittently remove the control circuit ground for the
A/C thermostat relay to prevent the evaporator from
forming ice. W hen the A/C request signal is received
by the ECM, the ECM supplies a ground from the
compressor clutch relay if the engine operating
conditions are within acceptable ranges. W ith the A/C
compressor relay energized, battery voltage is
supplied to the compressor clutch coil.
The ECM will enable the c om press or clutch to engage
whenever A/C has been selected with the engine
running, unless any of the following conditions are
present:
The throttle is greater than 95%.
The engine speed is greater than 6000 RPM.
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is greater
than 122°C(252°F).
Fan switch is OFF.
A/C reguest switch is OFF.
Thermo switch (FRT) is OFF.
Pressure switch is OFF.
Ignition switch is OFF.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
To diagnose an intermittent fault, check for the
following conditions:
Poor connection at the ECM-Inspect harness
connections for backed-out terminals, improper
mating, broken locks, improperly formed or
damaged terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire
connection.
Damaged harness-Inspect the wiring harness for
damage; shorts to Ground, shorts to Battery
Voltage, and Open circuits. If the harness appears
to be OK, observe the A/C clutch while moving
connectors and wiring harnesses related to the A/C.
A sudden clutch malfunction will indicate the source
of the intermittent fault.
A/C CLUTCH DIAGNOSIS
This chart should be used for diagnosing the electrical
portion of the A/C compressor clutch circuit. A Scan
Tool will be used in diagnosing the system. The Scan
Tool has the ability to read the A/C request input to the
ECM. The Scan Tool can display when the ECM has
commanded the A/C clutch ON. The Scan Tool should
have the ability to override the A/C request signal and
energize the A/C compressor relay.

ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
DIAGNOSIS
If the engine cranks but will not run or immediately
stalls, the Engine Cranks But Will Not Start chart
must be used to determine if the failure is in the
ignition system or the fuel system. If DTC19, or
DTC18 is set, the appropriate diagnos tic trouble c ode
chart must be used for diagnosis.
If a misfire is being experienced refer to the
Symptoms section for diagnosis.
EVAP CANISTER PURGE
CONTROL SOLENOID (IF
APPLICABLE)
A continuous purge condition with no purge
commanded by the ECM will set a DTC62. Refer to
the DTC charts for further information.
VISUAL CHECK OF THE
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION
CANISTER (IF APPLICABLE)
If the canister is cracked or damaged, replace the
canister.
If fuel is leaking from the canister, replace the
canister and check hoses and hose routing.
IDLE AI R CONTROL (I AC) VALVE
The Scan Tool displays the IAC pintle position in
counts. A count of “O” indicates the ECM is
commanding the IAC pintle to be driven all the way
into a fully-seated position. This is usually caused by
a vacuum leak.
The higher the number of counts, the more air is
being comm anded to bypass the throttle blade. Ref er
to IAC System Check in order to diagnose the IAC
system. Refer to Rough, Unstable, or Incorrect
Idle, Stalling in Symptoms for other possible causes
of idle problems.
FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE TEST
A fuel system pressure test is part of several of the
diagnostic charts and symptom checks. To perform
this test, refer to Fuel System Diagnosis.
FUEL METERING SYSTEM CHECK
Some failures of the fuel metering system will result
in an “Engine Cranks But Will Not Run” symptom. If
this condition ex ists , r ef er to the Cranks But Will Not
Run chart. This chart will determine if the problem is
caused by the ignition system, the ECM, or the fuel
pump electrical circuit.
Refer to Fuel System Electrical Test for the fuel
system wiring schematic.
If there is a fuel delivery problem, refer to Fu el System
Diagnosis, which diagnoses the fuel inj ectors, the fuel
pressure regulator, and the fuel pump.
Followings are applicable to the vehicles with
closed Loop S y ste m:
If a malfunction occurs in the fuel metering system, it
usually results in either a rich HO2S signal or a lean
HO2S signal. This condition is indicated by the HO2S
voltage, which causes the ECM to change the fuel
calculation (fuel injector pulse width) based on the
HO2S reading. Changes made to the fuel calculation
will be indicated by a change in the long term fuel trim
values which can be m onitor ed with a Scan T ool. Ideal
long term fuel trim values are around 0%; for a lean
HO2S signal, the ECM will add fuel, resulting in a fuel
trim value above 0%. Some variations in fuel trim
values are normal because all engines are not exactly
the same. If the evapor ative em ission c anister pur ge is
02 status may be rich condition. 02 status indic ates the
lean condition, refer to DTC44 for items which can
cause a lean HO2S signal.

ENGINE CONTROL MODULE
(ECM) DI AGNOSIS
To read and clear diagnostic trouble codes, use a
Scan Tool.
IMPORTANT: Use of a Sc an Tool is rec omm ended to
clear diagnostic trouble codes f rom the ECM m emor y.
Diagnostic trouble codes can also be cleared by
turning the ignition OFF and disconnecting the battery
power from the ECM for 30 seconds. Turning off the
ignition and disconnecting the battery power from the
ECM will cause all diagnostic information in the ECM
memory to be cleared. Therefore, all the diagnostic
tests will have to be re-run.
Since the ECM can have a failure which may affect
only one c ircuit, following the diagnostic procedures in
this section will determ ine which circuit has a problem
and where it is.
If a diagnostic chart indicates that the ECM
connections or the ECM is the cause of a problem,
and the EPROM or ECM is r eplaced, but this does not
correct the problem, one of the following may be the
reason:
There is a problem with the ECM terminal
connections. The terminals may have to be
rem oved from the connector in order to check them
properly.
The problem is intermittent. This means that the
problem is not present at the time the system is
being checked. In this c ase, ref er to the Symptoms
portion of the manual and make a careful physical
inspection of all components and wiring associated
with the affected system.
There is a shorted solenoid, relay coil, or harness.
Solenoids and relays are turned ON and OFF by the
ECM using internal electronic switches called
drivers. A shorted solenoid, relay coil, or harness
will not damage the ECM but will cause the solenoid
or relay to be inoperative.
MULTIPLE ECM INFORM ATION
SENSOR DTCS SET
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The engine control module (ECM) monitors various
sensors to determine the engine operating conditions.
The ECM controls fuel delivery, spark advance, and
emission control device operation based on the sensor
inputs.
The ECM provides a sensor ground to all of the
sensors. The ECM applies 5 volts through a pull-up
resistor, and determines the status of the following
sensors by monitoring the voltage present between
the 5-volt supply and the resistor:
The throttle position (TP) sensor
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
The ECM provides the following sensors with a 5-volt
reference and a sensor ground signal:
Intake Air Temp Sensor (IAT).
Engine Coolant Temp Sensor (ECT).
Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (MAP).
Throttle Position Sensor (TPS).
The ECM monitors the separate feedback signals
from these sensors in order to determine their
operating status.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
IMPORTANT: Be sure to inspect ECM and engine
grounds for being secure and clean.
A short to voltage in one of the sensor input circuits
may cause one or more of the following DTCs to be
set:
21/33
IMPORTANT: If a sensor input circuit has been
shorted to voltage, ensure that the sensor is not
damaged. A dam aged sensor will continue to indicate
a high or low voltage after the affected circuit has
been repaired. If the sensor has been damaged,
replace it.
A short to ground in the circuit between ECM and
sensors will cause one or more of the following DTCs
to be set:
14/22
34/69
Check for the following conditions:
POOR CONNECTION AT ECM.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed-out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly
form ed or damaged term inals, and a poor terminal-to-
wire connection.
DAMAGED HARNESS.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the harness
is not damaged, observe an affected sensor's
displayed value on the Scan Tool with the ignition ON
and the engine OFF while you move the connectors
and the wiring harnesses related to the following
sensors:
IAT

ENGINE SCAN TOOL DATA
DEFINITI ONS AND RANGES
A/C CLUTCH - Scan Tool Displays ON or OFF -
Indicates whether the ECM has commanded the A/C
clutch ON. Used in A/C system diagnostics.
A/C REQUEST - Scan Tool Displays NO or OFF -
Indicates the state of the A/C reques t input cir cuit from
the HVAC controls. The ECM uses the A/C request
signal to determine whether A/C compressor operation
is being requested.
AIR/FUEL RATIO - Scan Tool Range 0-0:1-25.5:1 -
Air/fuel ratio indicates the ECM commanded value. In
“Closed Loop” , the air/fuel ratio should normally be
displayed around “14.2-14.7” . A lower air/fuel ratio
indicates a richer commanded mixture, which may be
seen during power enrichment or TWC (If applicable)
protection modes. A higher air/fuel ratio indicates a
leaner commanded mixture. This can be seen during
deceleration fuel mode.
BARO kPa - Scan Tool Range 10-105 - The
barometric pressure reading is determined from the
MAP sensor signal monitored during key up and wide
open throttle (WOT) conditions. The barometric
pressure is used to compensate for altitude
differences and is normally displayed around “61-104”
depending on altitude and barometric pressure.
DECELERATION FUEL CUT OFF - YES or NO-
Scan Tool Displays - “ACTIVE” displayed indicates
that the ECM has detected conditions appropriate to
operate in deceleration fuel mode. The ECM will
command the deceleration fuel mode when it detects
a closed throttle position while the vehicle is traveling
over 20 m ph. W hile in the deceleration f uel m ode, the
ECM will decrease the amount of fuel delivered by
entering “Open Loop” and decreasing the injector
pulse width.
DESIRED IDLE - Scan Tool Range 0-3187 RPM -
The idle speed that the ECM is commanding. The
ECM will compensate for various engine loads based
on engine coolant temperature, to keep the engine at
the desired speed.
ECT TEMP. - (Engine Coolant Temperature) Scan
Tool Range
40°C to 151°C (
40°F to 304°F) - The
engine coolant temperature (ECT) is mounted in the
coolant stream and sends engine temperature
information to the ECM. The ECM applies 5 volts to
the ECT sensor circuit. The sensor is a thermistor
which changes internal resistance as the temperature
changes. When the sensor is cold (high resistance),
the ECM monitor s a high signal voltage and interprets
that as a cold engine. As the sensor warms
(decreasing resistance), the voltage signal will
decrease and the ECM will interpret the lower voltage
as a warm engine.
TIME FROM START - Scan Tool Range 00:00:00-
99:99:99 Hrs:Min:Sec - Indicates the time elapsed
since the engine was star ted. If the engine is stopped,
engine run time will be reset to 00:00:00.
ENGINE SPEED - Range 0-9999 RPM - Engine
speed is computed by the ECM form the 58X
reference input. It should remain close to desired idle
under various engine loads with engine idling.
EVAP PURGE PWM (If applicable) - Scan Tool
Range 0%-100% - Represents the ECM commanded
PWM duty cycle of the EVAP purge solenoid valve.
“0%” displayed indicates no purge; “100%” displayed
indicates full purge.
FUEL PUMP RELAY - Scan Tool Displays ON or
OFF - Indicates the ECM comm anded s tate of the f uel
pump relay driver circuit.
02 BLM CELL NUMBER (If applicable)- Scan Tool
Range 0-21 - The 02 BLM cell is dependent upon
engine speed and MAP sensor readings. A plot of
RPM vs. MAP is divided into 22 cells. 02 BLM cell
indicates which cell is currently active.
B1 HO2S BANK 1 (If applicable)- Scan Tool Range
0-1000 mV - Represents the fuel control exhaust
oxygen sensor output voltage. Should fluctuate
constantly within a range between 10 mV (lean
exhaust) and 1000 mV (rich exhaust) while operating
in “Closed Loop” .
B1 HO2S READY BANK 1 (If applicable)- Scan Tool
Displays YES or NO - Indicates the status of the
exhaust oxygen sensor. The Scan Tool will indicate
that the exhaust oxygen sensor is ready when the
ECM detects a fluctuating HO2S voltage sufficient to
allow “Closed Loop” operation. This will not occur
unless the exhaust sensor is warmed up.
IAC CONTROL STEP - Scan Tool Range 0-255
steps - Displays the commanded position of the idle
air control pintle in counts. A larger number of counts
means that more air is being comm anded through the
idle air passage. Idle air control should respond fairly
quickly to changes in engine load to maintain desired
idle RPM.
IAT (INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE) - Scan Tool
Range
40°C to 151°C (
40°F to 304°F) - The ECM
converts the resistance of the intake air temperature
sensor to degrees. Intake air temperature (IAT) is
used by the ECM to adjust fuel delivery and spark
timing according to incoming air density.
BATTERY - Scan Tool Range 0-25.5 Volts - This
represents the system voltage measured by the ECM
at its ignition feed.
INJ. PULSE WIDTH - Scan Tool Range 0-1000
msec. - Indicates the amount of time the ECM is
commanding each injector ON during each engine
cycle. A longer injector pulse width will cause more
fuel to be delivered. Injector pulse width should
increase with increased engine load.
FUELING MODE (If applicable) - Scan Tool
Displays OPEN or CLOSED - “CLOSED” indicates
that the ECM is controlling fuel delivery according to
oxygen sensor voltage. In “OPEN” the ECM ignores
the oxygen sensor voltage and bases the amount of
fuel to be delivered on T P s ensor, and engine coolant,
sensor inputs only.
MAP - Scan Tool Range 10-105 kPa (0.00-4.97
Volts) - The manif old abs olute pr ess ur e (MAP) s ens or
measures the change in the intake manifold pressure
from engine load, and speed changes. As intake
manifold pressure increases, intake vacuum
decreases, resulting in a higher MAP sensor voltage
and kPa reading. The MAP sensor signal is used to
monitor intake manifold pressure changes to update
the BARO reading, and as an enabling factor for
several of the diagnostics.
CEL-CHECK ENGINE LIGHT - Scan Tool Displays
ON or OFF - Indicates the ECM commanded state of
the malfunction indicator lamp (“Check Engine
Lamp”).
02 STATUS (If applicable) - Scan Tool Displays
RICH or LEAN - Indicates whether oxygen sensor
voltage is above a 600 mV thr eshold voltage (“R ICH” )
or below a 3000 mV threshold voltage (“LEAN” ).
Should change constantly while in “Closed Loop” ,
indicating that the ECM is controlling the air/fuel
mixture properly.
ELECTRIC SPARK CONTROL - Scan Tool Range
64°CA to 64°CA - Displays the amount of spark
advance being commanded by the ECM on the IC
circuit.
THROTT L E POSITION - Scan Tool Ran ge 0%-100%
- TP (throttle position) angle is computed by the ECM
from the TP sensor voltage. TP angle should display
“0%” at idle and “100%” at wide open throttle.
TPS SIGNAL - Scan Tool Range 0.00-5.00 Volts -
The voltage being monitored by the ECM on the TP
sensor signal circuit.
TYPICAL SCAN DATA VALUES
Use the T ypical Scan Data Values Table only after the
On- Board Diagnostic System Check has been
completed, no DTC(s) were noted, and you have
determined that the on-board diagnostics are
functioning properly. Scan Tool values from a
properly-running engine may be used for comparison
with the engine you are diagnosing. The typical scan
data values represent values that would be seen on a
normally-running engine.
Notice: A Scan Tool that displays faulty data should
not be used, and the problem should be reported to
the Scan Tool manufac tur er. Us e of a f aulty Scan Tool
can result in misdiagnosis and unnecessary
replacement of parts.
Only the parameters listed below are r ef er r ed to in this
service manual for use in diagnosis. For further

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
(EVAPORATIVE (EVAP) EMISSION
SYSTEM) (IF APPLICABLE)
EVAP EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
PURPOSE
The basic Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control
System used on all vehicle is the charcoal canister
storage method. This method transfers fuel vapor
from the fuel tank to an activated carbon (charcoal)
storage device (canister) to hold the vapors when the
vehicle is not operating. When the engine is running,
the fuel vapor is purged from the carbon element by
intake air flow and consumed in the normal
combustion process.
VAPO R CANISTER
Gasoline vapors from the fuel tank flow into the tube
labeled tank. Any liquid fuel goes into a reservoir in the
bottom of the canister to protect the integrity of the
carbon bed. These vapors are absorbed into the
carbon. The canister is purged when the engine is
running or commanded by Engine Control Module
(ECM). Ambient air is allowed into the canister through
the air tube in the top. The air mixes with the vapor
and the mixture is drawn into the intake manifold.
EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM
The solenoid used with this canister uses Vacuum
Switch Valve to control purge. The ECM opens and
closes the solenoid to control purge.
The ECM operates a Normally Closed (N/C) solenoid
valve which controls the vac uum to pur ge the char c oal
canister. Under cold engine or idle conditions, the
solenoid is not energized by the ECM, which blocks
vacuum to purge the canister.
The ECM energizes the solenoid valve and allows
purge when:
Engine is warm above 69°C (156°F)
After the engine has been running a specified time.

(7) Air Flow During Purge
Throttle position is above 7% throttle position

RESULTS OF INCORRECT OPERATION
Poor idle, stalling and poor driveability can be caused
by:
Inoperative purge solenoid.
Damaged canister.
Hoses split, cracked and/or not connected to the
proper tubes.
Evidence of f uel los s or f uel vapor odor c an be c aused
by:
Liquid fuel leaking from fuel lines, or fuel pump.
Cracked or damaged canister.
Disconnected, misrouted, kinked, deteriorated or
damaged vapor hoses, or control hoses.
If the solenoid is always open, the canister can purge
to the intake manif old at all tim es. This can allow extra
fuel at idle or dur ing war m-up, which can cause rough
or unstable idle, or too rich operation.
If the solenoid is always closed, the canister can
become over-loaded, resulting in fuel odor.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
The EVAP canister purge is controlled by a solenoid
valve that allows the manifold vacuum to purge the
canister . The engine control m odule (ECM) supplies a
ground to energize the solenoid valve (purge on). The
EVAP purge solenoid control is pulse- width
modulated (PWM) (turned on and off several times a
second). The duty cycle ( pulse width) is determined by
engine operating conditions including load, throttle
position, coolant temperature and ambient
temper ature. The duty cyc le is calculated by the ECM.
The output is commanded when the appropriate
conditions have been met. These condi-tions are:
The engine is fully warmed up.
The engine has been running for a specified time.
The IAT reading is above 10°C (50°F).
The EVAP purge vacuum switch is a normally closed
switch positioned in the purge line between the
canister and the EVAP purge control solenoid valve.
A continuous purge condition with no purge
commanded by the ECM will set a DTC62.
Poor idle, stalling and poor driveability can be caused
by:
A malfunctioning purge solenoid.
A damaged canister.
Hoses that are split, cracked, or not connected
properly.
TEST DESCRIPTION:
Numbers below refer to circled numbers on the
diagnostic chart.
1. Check to see if the solenoid is opened or closed.
The solenoid is normally de-energized in this step,
so it should be closed.
2. Check to determine if solenoid was open due to
electrical CKT problem or defective solenoid.
3. Completes functional check by grounding test
terminal. This should normally energize the
solenoid opening the valve which should allow the
vacuum to drop (purge “ON“).
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS:
Make a visual check of vacuum hose(s). Check
throttle body for possible cracked, or plugged vacuum
block.
Malfunction indicator lamp for possible mechanical
problem.

SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS
PRELIMI NARY CHECKS
Before using this section, perform the "On-Board
Diagnostic (OBD) System Check" and verify all of the
following items:
The engine control module (ECM) and malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) (Check Engine lamp) are
operating correctly.
There are no Diagnostic Trouble Code(s) stored.
Scan Tool data is within normal operating range.
Refer to Typical Scan Data Values.
Verify the customer complaint and locate the
correct symptom in the table of contents. Perform
the procedure included in the symptom chart.
VISUAL /PHYSICAL CHECK
Several of the symptom procedures call for a careful
visual/physical check. This can lead to correcting a
problem without further checks and can save valuable
time. This check should include the following items:
ECM grounds for cleanliness, tightness and proper
location.
Vacuum hoses for splits, kinks, and proper
connections, shown on the " Emission Control
Sys tem Schem atics". Chec k thoroughly for any type
of leak or restriction.
Air intake ducts for collapsed or damaged areas.
Air leaks at throttle body mounting area, manifold
absolute pressure (MAP) sensor and intake
manifold sealing surfaces.
Ignition wires for cracking, hardness, and carbon
tracking.
Wiring for proper connections, pinches and cuts.
INTERMITTENT
Important: An intermittent problem may or may not
turn on the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) or store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code. DO NOT use the Diagnostic
Trouble Code (Diagnostic Trouble Code) charts for
intermittent problems. The fault must be present to
locate the problem.
Most intermittent problems are caused by faulty
electrical connections or wiring. Perform a careful
visual/physical check for the following conditions.
Poor mating of the connector halves or a terminal
not fully seated in the connector (backed out).
Improperly formed or damaged terminal.
All connector ter m inals in the problem circ uit s hould
be carefully checked for proper contact tension.
Poor terminal-to-wire connection. This requires
removing the terminal from the connector body to
check.
Ignition coil shorted to ground and arcing at ignition
wires or plugs.
MIL (Check Engine lamp) wire to ECM shorted to
ground.
Poor ECM grounds. Refer to the
ECM wiring diagrams.
Road test the vehicle with a 5-8840-2392-0 Digital
Multimeter connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal voltage when the malfunction occurs is a
good indication that there is a fault in the circuit being
monitored.
Use a Scan Tool to help detect intermittent conditions.
The Scan Tools have several features that can be
used to locate an intermittent condition. Use the
following features to find intermittent faults:
To check for loss of diagnostic code memory,
disconnect the MAP sensor and idle the engine until
the MIL (Check Engine lamp) comes on. Diagnostic
Trouble Code 34 should be stored and kept in memory
when the ignition is turned "OFF." If not, the ECM is
faulty. When this test is completed, make sure that
you clear the Diagnostic Trouble Code 34 from
memory.
Check for improper installation of electrical options
such as lights, cellular phones, etc. Check all wires
from the ECM to the ignition control module for poor
connections.
Check for an open diode across the A/C compressor
clutch and check for other open diodes (refer to wiring
diagrams in Electrical Diagnosis).
If problem has not been found, refer to
ECM Connector Symptom tables.

ENGINE CRANKS BUT WILL NOT RUN
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The electronic ignition system uses a dual coil method
of spark distribution. In this type of ignition system, the
engine control module (ECM) triggers the correct
driver inside the ECM, which then triggers the correct
ignition timing based on the 58X signal received from
the crankshaft position sensor (CKP). The spark plug
connected to the coil fires when the coildriver opens
the ground circuit for the coil's primary circuit.
During crank, the ECM monitors the CKP 58X signal.
The CKP signal is used to determine which cylinder
will fire first. After the CKP 58X signal has been
processed by the ECM, the four injectors are divided
into two groups, one is composed of #1 and #4
cylinders, the other group, #2 and #3 cylinders.
58X signal is processed by ECM and it issues the
following command to each group at every turn of the
crankshaft.
To jet a half amount of the fuel required for a single
combustion stroke to each cylinder.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
An intermittent problem may be caused by a poor
connection, rubbed-through wire insulation or a wire
broken inside the insulation. Check for the following
items:
Poor connection or damaged harness - Inspect the
ECM harness and connectors for improper mating,
broken locks, improperly formed or damaged
terminals, poor terminal-to-wire connection, and
damaged harness.
Faulty engine coolant temperature sensor - Using a
scan tool, compare engine coolant temperature with
intake air temperature on a completely cool engine.
Engine coolant temperature should be within 10°C
of intake air temperature. If not, replace the ECT
sensor.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch is first turned ON, the engine
control module (ECM) energizes the fuel pump relay
which applies power to the in-tank fuel pump. The fuel
pump relay will remain ON as long as the engine is
running or cranking and the ECM is receiving 58X
crankshaft position pulses. If no 58X crankshaft
position pulses are present, the ECM de-energizes the
fuel pump relay within 2 seconds after the ignition is
turned ON or the engine is stopped.
The fuel pump delivers fuel to the fuel rail and
injectors, then to the fuel pressure regulator. The fuel
pressure regulator controls fuel pressure by allowing
excess fuel to be returned to the fuel tank. With the
engine stopped and ignition ON, the fuel pump can be
turned ON by using a command by the scan tool.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection,
rubbed-through wire insulation, or a wire broken inside
the insulation. Check for the following items:
Poor connection or damaged harness - Inspect the
ECM harness and connectors for improper mating,
broken locks, improperly formed or damaged
terminals, poor terminal-to-wire connection, and
damaged harness.
TEST DESCRIPTION
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
2. If the fuel pump is operating but incorrect pressure
is noted, the fuel pump wiring is OK and the Fuel
System Pressure Test chart should be used for
diagnosis.
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire and
personal injury:
It is necessary to relieve fuel system
pressure before connecting a fuel pressure
gauge. Refer to Fuel Pressure Relief
Procedure, below.
A small amount of fuel may be released
when disconnecting the fuel lines. Cover
fuel line fittings with a shop towel before
disconnecting, to catch any fuel that may
leak out. Place the towel in an approved

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the engine
control module (ECM) will turn ON the in-tank fuel
pump. The in-tank fuel pump will remain ON as long
as the engine is cranking or running and the ECM is
receiving 58X crankshaft position pulses. If there are
no 58X crankshaft position pulses, the ECM will turn
the in-tank fuel pump OFF 2 seconds after the
ignition switch is turned ON or 2 seconds after the
engine stops running.
The in-tank fuel pump is an electric pump within an
integral reservoir. The in-tank fuel pump supplies fuel
through an in-line fuel filter to the fuel rail assembly.
The fuel pump is designed to provide fuel at a
pressure above the pressure needed by the fuel
injectors. A fuel pressure regulator, attached to the
fuel rail, keeps the fuel available to the fuel injectors
at a regulated pressure. Unused fuel is returned to
the fuel tank by a separate fuel return line.
TEST DESCRIPTION
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
2. Connect the fuel pressure gauge to the fuel feed
line as shown in the f uel system illustration. W rap
a shop towel around the fuel pressure connection
in order to absorb any duel leakage that may
occur when installing the fuel pressure gauge.
With the ignition switch ON and the fuel pump
running, the fuel pressure indicated by the fuel
pressure gauge should be 283-376 kPa (41-55
psi). This pressure is controlled by the amount of
pressure the spring inside the fuel pressure
regulator can provide.
3. A f uel system that cannot m aintain a c onstant f uel
pressure has a leak in one or more of the
following areas:
The fuel pump check valve.
The fuel pump flex line.
The valve or valve seat within the f uel pressure
regulator.
The fuel injector(s).
4. Fuel pressure that drops off during acceleration,
cruise, or hard cornering may case a lean
condition. A lean condition can cause a loss of
power, surging, or m is fire. A lean c ondition c an be
diagnosed using a Tech 2 Scan Tool.
Following are applicable to the vehicle with
closed Loop System:
If an extremely lean condition occurs, the oxygen
sensor(s) will stop toggling. The oxygen sensor
output voltage(s) will drop below 500 mV. Also,
the fuel injector pulse width will increase.
Important: Make sure the fuel system is not
operating in the “Fuel Cut-Off Mode."
W hen the engine is at idle, the manifold pressure
is low (high vacuum). This low pressure (high
vacuum) is applied to the fuel pressure regulator
diaphragm. The low pressure (high vacuum) will
offset the pressure being applied to the fuel
pressure regulator diaphragm by the spring inside
the fuel pressure regulator. When this happens,
the result is lower f uel press ure. T he fuel pr essur e
at idle will vary slightly as the barom etric pressure
changes, but the fuel pressure at idle should
always be less than the fuel pressure noted in
step 2 with the engine OFF.
16.Check the spark plug associated with a particular
fuel injector for fouling or saturation in order to
determine if that particular fuel injector is leaking.
If checking the spark plug associated with a
particular fuel injector for fouling or saturation
does not determine that a particular f uel injector is
leaking, use the following procedure:
Remove the fuel rail, but leave the fuel lines
and injectors c onnected to the fuel rail. Ref er to
Fuel Rail Assembly in On-Vehicle Service.
Lift the fuel rail just enough to leave the fuel
injector nozzles in the fuel injector ports.
Caution: In order to reduce the risk of fire an d
personal injury that may result from fuel
spraying on the engi ne, verify that the fu el rail
is positioned over the fuel injector ports and
verify that the fuel injector retaining clips are
intact.
Pressurize the fuel system by connecting a
20 amp fused jumper between B+ and the
fuel pump relay connector.
Visually and physically inspect the fuel
injector nozzles for leaks.
17.A rich condition may result from the fuel pressure
being above 376 kPa (55 psi). A rich condition
may cause a 45 to set. Driveability conditions
associated with rich conditions can include hard
starting (followed by black smoke) and a strong
sulfur smell in the exhaust.
20.This test determines if the high fuel pressure is
due to a restricted fuel r eturn line or if the high f uel
pressure is due to a faulty fuel pressure regulator.
21.A lean condition may result from fuel pressure
below 333 kPa (48 psi). A lean condition may
cause a 44 to set. Driveability conditions
associated with lean conditions can include hard
starting (when the engine is c old), hesitation, poor
driveability, lack of power, surging, and misfiring.
22.Restricting the fuel return line causes the fuel
pressure to rise above the regulated fuel pressure.
Command the fuel pump ON with the scan tool.
The fuel pressure should rise above 376 kPa (55
psi) as the fuel return line becomes partially
closed.
Notice: Do not allow the fuel pressure to exceed 414
kPa (60 psi). Fuel pressure in excess of 414 kPa (60
psi) may damage the fuel pressure regulator.
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire and
personal injury:
It is necessary to relieve fuel system
pressure before connecting a fuel pressure
gauge. Refer to Fuel Pressure Relief
Procedure, below.
A small amount of fuel may be released
when disconnecting the fuel lines. Cover
fuel line fittings with a shop towel before
disconnecting, to catch any fuel that may
leak out. Place the towel in an approved
container when the disconnect is
completed.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
measures the changes in the intake MAP which result
from engine load (intake manifold vacuum) and engine
speed changes; and converts these into a voltage
output. The engine control module (ECM) sends a 5-
volt reference voltage to the MAP sensor. As the MAP
changes, the output voltage of the sensor also
changes. By monitoring the sensor output voltage, the
ECM knows the MAP. A lower pressure (low voltage)
output voltage will be about 1-2 volts at idle. Higher
pressure (high voltage) output voltage will be about 4-
4.8 volts at wide open throttle. The MAP sensor is also
used, under certain conditions, to measure barometric
pressure, allowing the ECM to make adjustments for
different altitudes.
TEST DESCRIPTION
Important: Be sure to use the same diagnostic test
equipment for all measurements.
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on
the Diagnostic Chart.
1. When you compare the Scan Tool readings to a
known good vehicle, it is important to compare
vehicles that use MAP s ensors that have the sam e
part number.
2. Applying 34 kPa (10 Hg) vacuum to the MAP
sensor s hould cause the voltage to be 1.5- 2.1 volts
less than the voltage at step 1. Upon applying
vacuum to the sensor, the change in voltage
should be instantaneous. A slow voltage change
indicates a faulty sensor.
3. Check the vacuum hose to the sensor for leaking
or restriction. Be sure that no other vacuum
devices are connected to the MAP hose.
Important: Make sure the electrical connector
remains securely fastened.
4. Disconnect the sensor from the bracket. Twist the
sensor with your hand to check for an intermittent
connection. Output changes greater than 0.10 volt
indicate a bad sensor.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS (EVAP) CANISTER PURGE CONTROL
SOLENOID VALVE CHECK (IF APPLICABLE)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Canister purge is controlled by a solenoid valve that
allows manifold vacuum to purge the canister. The
engine control module (ECM) supplies a ground to
energize the solenoid valve (purge ON). The EVAP
(purge solenoid control is turned ON time) is
determined by engine operating conditions including
load, throttle position, coolant temperature and
ambient temperature. The duty cycle is calculated by
the ECM and the purge solenoid is enabled when the
appropriate conditions have been met:
The engine run time after start is more than 60
seconds.
The engine coolant temperature is above 30°C
(86°F).
The fuel control system is operating in the “Closed-
Loop” mode (If applicable).
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Make a visual check of vacuum hoses.
Check the throttle body for possible cracked or
plugged vacuum block.
Check the malfunc tion indicator lamp for a possible
mechanical problem.
TEST DESCRIPTION
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on
the Diagnostic Chart.
1. Check to see if the solenoid is open or closed. The
solenoid is normally de-energized in this step, so it
should be closed.
2. This step checks to determine if the solenoid was
open due to an electrical circuit problem or a
defective solenoid.
3. This should normally energize the solenoid,
opening the valve and allowing the vacuum to dr op
(Purge ON).

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The throttle position (TP) sensor circuit provides a
voltage signal that changes relative to throttle blade
angle. The signal voltage will vary from about 0.25
volts at closed throttle to about 4.75 volts at wide open
throttle (WOT).
The Throttle Position (TP) signal is used by the engine
control module (ECM) for fuel control and most of the
ECM-controlled outputs. The ECM monitors throttle
position and compares actual throttle positions from
the TP sensor to a predicted TP value calculated from
engine speed.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Check for the following conditions:
Skewed MAP signal or faulty MAP sensor-An
incorrect MAP signal may cause the ECM to
incorrectly calculate the predicted TP sensor value
during high engine load situations. Check for an
unusually low MAP reading.
Poor connection at ECM-Inspect harness
connectors for backed-out terminals, improper
mating, br oken lock, im pr oper ly form ed or damaged
terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Damaged Harness-Inspect the wiring harness for
damage: An open Circuit, shorts to Ground, or
shorts to Batter y Positive. If the har ness appears to
be OK, observe the TP display on the Scan Tool
while moving connectors and wiring harnesses
related to the sensor. A change in the display will
indicate the location of the fault.

DIAG NOSTI C TROUBLE CODE (DTC) (FLASH DTC = 13) O2 SENSOR
CIRCUIT NOT READY DETECTED (IF APPLICABLE)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The engine control module (ECM) supplies a bias
voltage of about 450mV between the heated
oxygen sensor (HO2S) high and low circuits. W hen
meas ured with a 10 m egaohm digital voltm eter, this
may display as low as 320mV. The oxygen sensor
varies the voltage within a range of about 900mV
when the ex haust is r ich, down through about 60mV
when exhaust is lean. The ECM cons tantly monitors
the HO2S signal during "Closed Loop" operation
and compensates for a rich or lean condition by
decreasing or increasing injector pulse width as
necessary. This code determines whether the
oxygen sensor is ready for use as a feedback for
fuel control system. Then the DTC 13 will set.
CONDITIO NS FOR SETTING THE DTC
Engine run time is longer than 60 seconds.
All the above conditions are met and the following
condition is met:
HO2S signal voltage remains between 343mV and
540mV.
Throttle angle is greater than 5%.
ECT greater than 70°C.
ACTIO N TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
The ECM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) the second time the fault is detected.
"Open Loop" fuel control will be in effect.
CONDITIO NS FOR CLEARI NG THE MIL/DTC
Once the ECM determines that a fault(s) has been
rectified then the CEL will switch OFF, although the
fault code will remain in the ECM memory.
Any fault codes will remain in ECM memory until -
1. They are cleared by disconnecting the Battery for
more than 30 seconds.
2. A service tool such as Tech 2 is used to clear them.
3. Ten consecutive starts without logging a fault.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Check for the following conditions:
Poor connection or damaged harness - Inspect the
harness connectors for backed-out terminals,
improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed
or damaged terminals, poor terminal-to-wire
connection, and damaged harness.
Faulty HO2S heater or heater circuit - With the
ignition ON engine OFF after a cool down period,
the HO2S voltage displayed on the Scan Tool is
normally 455-460mV. A reading over 1000mV
indicates a signal line shorted to voltage. A reading
under 5mV indicates a signal line shorted to ground
or signal lines shorted together. Disconnect the
HO2S and connect a test light between the HO2S
battery feed and heater ground circuits. If the test
light does not light for 2 seconds when the ignition
is turned on, repair the open battery feed or sensor
ground circuit as necessary. If the test light lights
and the HO2S signal and low circuits are OK,
replace the HO2S.
Intermittent test - With the ignition ON monitor the
HO2S signal voltage while moving the wiring
harness and related connectors. If the fault is
induced, the HO2S signal voltage will change. This
may help isolate the location of the malfunction.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The engine control module (ECM) supplies a bias
voltage of about 450mV between the heated oxygen
sensor (HO2S) signal and low circuits. When
measured with a 10 megaohm digital voltmeter, this
may display as low as 350mV. The oxygen sensor
varies the voltage within a range of about 900mV
when the exhaust is rich, down through about 60mV
when exhaust is lean. The ECM constantly monitors
the HO2S signal during "Closed Loop" operation and
compensates for a rich or lean condition by
decreasing or increasing injector pulse width as
necessary. If the HO2S voltage remains excessively
low for an extended period of time.
This code detects a lean oxygen sensor reading.
CONDITIO NS FOR SETTING THE DTC
Engine run time is longer than 60sec.
Engine coolant temperature is above 70 °C(158°F).
Throttle angle is greater than 5%.
All above conditions met and the following condition is
met:
HO2S signal voltage remains less than 274mV.
ACTIO N TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
The ECM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) the first time the fault is detected.
"Open Loop" fuel control will be in effect.
CONDITIO NS FOR CLEARI NG THE MIL/DTC
Once the ECM determines that a fault(s) has been
rectified then the CEL will switch OFF, although the
fault code will remain in the ECM memory.
Any fault codes will remain in ECM memory until -
1. They are cleared by disconnecting the Battery for
more than 30 seconds.
2. A service tool such as Tech 2 is used to clear them.
3. Ten consecutive starts without logging a fault.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Check for the following conditions:
Heated oxygen sensor wiring - The sensor pigtail
may be routed incorrectly and contacting the
exhaust system.
Poor ECM to engine block ground.
Fuel pressure - The system will go lean if pressure
is too low. The ECM can compensate for some
decrease. However, if fuel pressure is too low, a
diagnostic Trouble Code 44 may be set. Refer to
Fuel System Diagnosis .
Lean injector(s) - Perform "Injector Balance Test."
Vacuum leaks - Check for disconnected or
damaged vacuum hoses and for vacuum leaks at
the intake manifold, throttle body, and PCV system.
Exhaust leaks - An exhaus t leak m ay cause outside
air to be pulled into the exhaust gas stream past the
HO2S, causing the system to appear lean. Check
for exhaust leaks that may cause a false lean
condition to be indicated.
Fuel contam ination - Water, even in sm all am ounts,
can be delivered to the f uel inj ect ors . The water c an
cause a lean exhaust to be indicated, Excessive
alcohol in the fuel can also cause this condition.
Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis for the procedure
to check for fuel contamination.
If none of the above conditions are present, replace
the affected HO2S.

DIAG NOSTI C TROUBLE CODE (DTC) (FLASH DTC = 45)
O2 SENSOR TOO RICH (IF APPLICABLE)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The engine control module (ECM) supplies a bias
voltage of about 450mV between the heated oxygen
sensor (HO2S) signal and low circuits. When
measured with a 10 megaohm digital voltmeter, this
may display as low as 320mV. The oxygen sensor
varies the voltage within a range of about 900mV
when the exhaust is rich, down through about 10mV
when exhaust is lean. The ECM constantly monitors
the HO2S signal during "Closed Loop" operation and
compensates for a rich or lean condition by
decreasing or increasing injector pulse width as
necessary. If the HO2S voltage remains excessively
high for an extended period of time.
This code detects a rich oxygen sensor reading.
CONDITIO NS FOR SETTING THE DTC
Engine run time is longer than 60sec.
Engine coolant temperature is above 70°C(158°F).
Throttle angle is greater than 5%.
Following Diagnostic Trouble Codes are not set:
Malfunction DTC: 21, 22, 33, 24
Closed Loop fuel integrator is not reset and closed
loop fuel enabled.
ACTIO N TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
The ECM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL).
"Open Loop" fuel control will be in effect.
CONDITIO NS FOR CLEARI NG THE MIL/DTC
Once the ECM determines that a fault(s) has been
rectified then the CEL will switch OFF, although the
fault code will remain in the ECM memory.
Any fault codes will remain in ECM memory until -
1. They are cleared by disconnecting the Battery for
more than 30 seconds.
2. A service tool such as Tech 2 is used to clear them.
3. Ten consecutive starts without logging a fault.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Check the following items:
Fuel pressure - The system will go rich if pressure
is too high. The ECM can compensate for some
increase. However, if fuel pressure is too high, a
Diagnostic Trouble Code 45 may be set. Refer to
Fuel System Diagnosis .
Perform "Injector Balance Test" - Refer to
Fuel System Diagnosis .
Check the EVAP canister for fuel saturation - If full
of fuel, check canister control and hoses. Refer to
Evaporative (EVAP) Emission Control System.
Check for a leak in the fuel pressure regulator
diaphragm by checking the vacuum line to toe
regulator for the presence of fuel.
An intermittent TP sensor output will cause the
system to go rich due to a false indication of the
engine accelerating.
Silicon contamination of the HO2S can also cause a
high HO2S voltage to be indicated. T his c ondition is
indicated by a powdery white deposit on the portion
of the HO2S exposed to the exhaust stream. If
contamination is noticed, replace the affected
HO2S.
Operate the vehicle while monitoring the HO2S
voltage with a Scan Tool. If the HO2S voltage is
limited within a range between 300mV to 600mV,
check the HO2S high and low circuit wiring and
associated terminal connections. If the wiring and
connections are OK, replace the HO2S.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a
thermistor mounted in the engine coolant stream. The
engine control module (ECM) applies a voltage (about
5 volts) through a pull-up resistor to the ECT signal
circuit. When the engine coolant is cold, the sensor
(thermistor) resistance is high, therefore the ECM will
measure a high signal voltage. As the engine coolant
warms, the sensor resistance becomes lower, and the
ECT signal voltage measured at the ECM drops. With
a fully warmed up engine, the ECT signal voltage
should measure about 1.5 to 2.0 volts. If the ECM
detect a continuous open in the ECT sensor or circuit,
then a code 14 will set.
CONDITIO NS FOR SETTING THE DTC
Engine running time is longer than 10secs.
The ECT sensor signal indicates an engine coolant
temperature greater than 140°C (284°F).
ACTIO N TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
The ECM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) fault is detected.
The ECM will substitute the ECT reading with a
default engine coolant temperature value. The
default value is based on start-up intake air
temperature and running time.
CONDITIO NS FOR CLEARI NG THE MIL/DTC
Once the ECM determines that a fault(s) has been
rectified then the CEL will switch OFF, although the
fault code will remain in the ECM memory.
Any fault codes will remain in ECM memory until -
1. They are cleared by disconnecting the Battery for
more than 30 seconds.
2. A service tool such as Tech 2 is used to clear them.
3. Ten consecutive starts without logging a fault.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Check for the following conditions:
Poor connection at ECM - Inspect harness
connectors for backed-out terminals, improper
mating, broken locks, improperly formed or
damaged terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire
connection.
Damaged harness - Inspect the wiring harness for
damage, If the harness appears to be OK, observe
the ECT display on the Scan Tool while moving
connectors and wiring harnesses related to the ECT
sensor. A change in the ECT display will indicate
the location of the fault.
TEST DESCRIPTION

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The vehicle speed sensor has a magnet rotated by the
transmission output shaft. Attached to the sensor is a
hall effect circuit that interacts with the magnetic field
created by the rotating magnet. A 12-volt operating
supply for the speed sensor hall circuit is supplied
from the meter fuse. The VSS pulses to ground the 5-
volt signal sent from the engine control module (ECM)
on the reference circuit. The ECM interprets vehicle
speed by the number of pulses to ground per second
on the reference circuit. Then a DTC 24 will set.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
responds to changes in intake manifold pressure.
The MAP sensor signal voltage to the engine control
module (ECM) varies from below 2 volts at idle (low
manifold pressure) to above 4 volts with the ignition
ON, engine not running or at wide-open throttle (high
manifold pressure).
A "speed density" method of determining engine
load is used. This is calculated using inputs from the
MAP sensor, the CKP Sensor, and the Intake Air
Temperature (IAT) sensor. The MAP sensor is the
main sensor used in this calculation, and measuring
engine load is its main function. The ECM monitors
the MAP signals for voltages outside the normal
range of the MAP sensor. This code defects a short
to MAP signal voltage in the MAP sensor circuit.
Diagnostic Trouble Code 33 will be set.
CONDITIO NS FOR SETTING THE DTC

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The engine control module (ECM) has 2 injector driver
circuits. Each controls 2 injectors as a one group.
When a driver circuit is grounded by the ECM, the
injector is activated. The ECM monitors the current in
each driver circuit. The ECM measures a voltage drop
through a fixed resistor and controls it. The voltage on
each driver is monitored to detect a fault. If the voltage
is not what the ECM expects to monitor on the circuit,
a Diagnostic Trouble Code is set. This Diagnostic
Trouble Code is also set if an injector driver is shorted
to voltage. This code an injectors short to ground,
battery or a disconnected injector, then a DTC 17 will
be set.
CONDITIO NS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The actual output voltage of injector driver is
opposite to the expected state thus setting injector
feedback line low.
Fuel pump relay is commanded on and Fuel pump
relay is not shorted to bettery and battery voltage is
greater than 9 volts.
ACTIO N TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
The ECM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL).
"Open Loop" fuel control will be in effect.
CONDITIO NS FOR CLEARI NG THE MIL/DTC
Once the ECM determines that a fault(s) has been
rectified then the CEL will switch OFF, although the
fault code will remain in the ECM memory.
Any fault codes will remain in ECM memory until -
1. They are cleared by disconnecting the Battery for
more than 30 seconds.
2. A service tool such as Tech 2 is used to clear them.
3. Ten consecutive starts without logging a fault.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
An injector driver circuit that is open or shorted to
voltage will cause a Diagnostic Trouble Code 17 to
set. It will also cause a misfire due to an inoperative
injector.
Long term and short term fuel trims that are
excessively high or low are a good indication that an
injector is faulty. Use Fuel Injector Coil Test Procedure
to check for faulty injectors.
TEST DESCRIPTION
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on
the Diagnostic Chart.
3. This step determines if Diagnostic Trouble Code 17
is the result of a hard failure or an intermittent
condition.
4. This steps tests the harness wiring and ECM
control of the injectors.
6. Because the test light was ON steady, voltage to
the injector is OK, but the driver circuit is grounded
at all times. This step determines if the circuit is
shorted to ground or the ECM is faulty.
8. Because the test light was OFF steady, the injector
driver circuit is shorted to voltage.
10.Normal injector resistance is slightly more than if
tested directly at the injector because it includes
resistance of the harness wires. The normal value
is about 13.5.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ignition control circuit in ECM provides a zero volt
or a 5 volt signal to the ignition coil driver. The normal
circuit voltage is zero volts. When the coil driver
receives the 5 volt signal from the ignition control
circuit, it provides a ground path for the B+ voltage
supplied to the ignition primary coil. When the ECM
turns off the 5 volts to the module, the module will
remove the ground path of the ignition primary coils;
causing the magnetic field produces a voltage in the
secondary coils which fires the spark plug.
The circuit between the coil driver and the ignition
control circuit is monitored for a short to battery on the
Electronic Spark Timing B/coil driver B line. When the
ECM detects a problem in the ignition control circuit, it
will set DTC 41.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The engine control module (ECM) controls engine idle
speed with the idle air control (IAC) valve. To increase
idle speed, the ECM retracts the IAC valve pintle away
from its seat, allowing more air to bypass the throttle
bore. To decrease idle speed, it extends the IAC valve
pintle towards its seat, reducing bypass air flow. A
Scan Tool will read the ECM commands to the IAC
valve in counts. Higher counts indicate more air
bypass (higher idle). Lower counts indicate less air is
allowed to bypass (lower idle).
This malfunction detects an error in the IAC control
logic, then DTC 35 will set.
CONDITIO NS FOR SETTING THE DTC
Engine rpm error is greater than 175 rpm.
No DTC 21, 22 and 24 present.
And,
Engine desired rpm is not fixed by tester.
IAC movement is not inhibited by low or high battery
voltage.
And,
IAC normal closed loop is enabled.
Coolant of lesets are decayed to 0.
ACTIO N TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
The ECM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL).
CONDITIO NS FOR CLEARI NG THE MIL/DTC
Once the ECM determines that a fault(s) has been
rectified then the CEL will switch OFF, although the
fault code will remain in the ECM memory.
Any fault codes will remain in ECM memory until -
1. They are cleared by disconnecting the Battery for
more than 30 seconds.
2. A service tool such as Tech 2 is used to clear them.
3. Ten consecutive starts without logging a fault.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
A slow, unstable, or fast idle may be caused by a non-
IAC system problem that cannot be overcome by the
IAC valve. Out of control range IAC Scan Tool counts
will be above 60 if idle is too low, and zero counts if
idle is too high. The following checks should be made
to repair a non-IAC system problem:
Vacuum leak (high idle) - If idle is too high, stop the
engine. Fully extend (low) IAC with the IAC motor
analyzer 5-8840-2312-0. Start the engine. If idle
speed is above 825 RPM, locate and correct the
vacuum leak, including the PCV system. Check for
binding of the throttle blade or linkage.
Following are applicable to the vehicle with
closed Loop System.
Throttle body - Remove the IAC valve and inspect
the bore for foreign material.
IAC valve electrical connections - IAC valve
connections should be carefully checked for proper
contact.
PCV hose - An incor r ec t or faulty hose may result in
an incorrect idle s peed. Ref er to Diagnosis, Rough
Idle, Stalling. If intermittent poor driveability or idle
symptoms are resolved by disconnecting the IAC,
carefully recheck the connections and valve
terminal resistance, or replace the IAC.
Lean heated oxygen sensor signal (high air/fuel
ratio) - The idle speed may be too high or too low.
Engine speed may vary up and down, and
disconnecting the IAC valve does not help.
Diagnostic trouble code 44 may be set. Scan Tool
oxygen (O2) voltage will be less than 27 mV (2.74
V). Check for low regulated fuel pressure, waterin
fuel, or a restricted injector.
Rich heated oxygen sens or signal ( low air/fuel ratio)
- The idle speed will be too low. Scan Tool IAC
counts will usually be above 80. The system is
obviously rich and may exhibit black smoke in the
exhaust.
Scan T ool O2 voltage will be fixed at about 750 m V
(0.75 V). Check for high fuel pressure, or a leaking
or sticking injector. A silicon-contaminated heated
oxygen sensor will show an O2 voltage slow to
respond on the Scan Tool.
TEST DESCRIPTION
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
1. The IAC motor analyzer 5-8840-2312-0 is used to
extend and retract the IAC valve. Valve movement
is verified by an engine speed change. If no
change in engine speed occurs, the valve can be
resettled when removed from the throttle body.
2. This step checks the quality of the IAC movement
in step 1. Between 700 revolutions per minute
(RPM) and about 1500 RPM, the engine speed
should change smoothly with each flash of the
tester light in both extend and retract. If the IAC
valve is retracted beyond the control range (about
1500 RPM), it m ay take m any flashes to ex tend the
IAC valve before engine speed will begin to drop.
This is normal on certain engines. Fully extending
the IAC may cause engine stall. This may be
normal.
6. Steps 1 and 2 verified the proper IAC valve
operation. This step checks the IAC circuits. Each
lamp on the noid light should flash red and green
while the IAC valve is cycled. While the sequence
of color is not important, if either light is OFF or
does not flas h red and green, check the circuits for
faults, beginning with poor terminal contacts.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch is first turned ON, the engine
control module (ECM) energizes the fuel pump relay
which applies power to the in-tank fuel pump. The fuel
pump relay will remain ON as long as the engine is
running or cranking and the ECM is receiving 58X
crankshaft position pulses. If no 58X crankshaft
position pulses are present, the ECM de-energizes the
fuel pump relay within 2 seconds after the ignition is
turned ON or the engine is stopped.
The fuel pump delivers fuel to the fuel rail and
injectors, then to the fuel pressure regulator. The fuel
pressure regulator controls fuel pressure by allowing
excess fuel to be returned to the fuel tank. With the
engine stopped and ignition ON, the fuel pump can be
turned ON by using a command by the scan tool.
This code detects a fuel pump relay short to ground or
disconnected.
CONDITIO NS FOR SETTING THE DTC
ECM has commanded Fuel Pump relay to be de-
energized.
Feedback information shows relay is still energized
or, an open contact is present.
ACTIO N TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
The ECM will turn ON the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp.
CONDITIO NS FOR CLEARI NG THE DTC
Once the ECM determines that a fault(s) has been
rectified then the CEL will switch OFF, although the
fault code will remain in the ECM memory.
Any fault codes will remain in ECM memory until -
1. They are cleared by disconnecting the Battery for
more than 30 seconds.
2. A service tool such as Tech 2 is used to clear them.
3. Ten consecutive starts without logging a fault.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection,
rubbed-through wire insulation, or a wire broken inside
the insulation. Check for the following items:
Poor connection or damaged harness - Inspect the
ECM harness and connectors for improper mating,
broken locks, improperly formed or damaged
terminals, poor terminal-to-wire connection, and
damaged harness.
This malfunction detects a fuel pump relay short to
ground or disconnection.
TEST DESCRIPTION

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (M IL)
Refer to Instrument Panel Removal P rocedure.
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM )
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) DAMAGE
Electronic components used in the control system are often
designed to carry very low voltage. Electronic components are
susceptible to damage caused by electrostatic discharge. Less
than 100 volts of static electricity can cause damage to same
electronic components. By comparison, it takes as much as
4000 volts for a person to even feel the zap of a static
discharge. There are several way for a person to become
statically charged. The most common methods of charging are
by friction and by induction. An example of charging by friction
is a person sliding across a car seat. Charging by induction
occurs when a person with well insulated shoes stands near a
highly charged object and momentarily touches ground.
Charge of the same polarity are drained off leaving the person
highly charged with opposite polarity. Static charge can cause
damage, therefore, it is important to use care when handling
and testing electronic components.
Notice: To prevent possible Electrostatic Discharge damage,
follow these guidelines:
Do not touch the control module connector pins or
soldered components on the control module circuit
board.
Do not open the replacement part package until the part
is ready to be installed.
Before removing the parts from the package, ground the
package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
If the parts been handled while sliding across the seat, or
while sitting from standing position, or walking a distance,
touch a known good ground before installing the parts.
Notice: To prevent internal ECM damage, the ignition must be
OFF position in order to disconnect or reconnect power to the

WIRING AND CONNECTORS
WIRI NG HARNESS SERVI CE
The control module harness electrically connects the control
module to the various solenoids, switches and sensors in the
vehicle engine compartment and passenger compartment.
Replace wire harnesses with the proper part number
replacement.
Because of the low amperage and voltage levels utilized in
electric control systems, it is essential that all wiring in
environmentally exposed areas be repaired with crimp and
seal splice sleeves.
The following wire harness repair information is intended as a
general guideline only. Refer to Chassis Electrical for all wire
harness repair procedures.
ECM CONNECTORS AND TERMINALS
REMOVAL
1. Remove the connector terminal retainer.
2. Push the wire connected to the affected terminal through
the connector face so that the terminal is exposed.
3. Service the terminal as necessary.
INSTALLATION
1. Bend the tab on the connector to allow the terminal to be
pulled into position within the connector.
2. Pull carefully on the wire to install the connector terminal
retainer.
CONNECTORS AND TERM INALS
Use care when probing a connector and when replacing
terminals. It is possible to short between opposite terminals.
Damage to components could result. Always use jumper wires
between connectors for circuit checking. NEVER probe
through Weather-Pack seals. Use an appropriate connector
test adapter kit which contains an assortment of flexible
connectors used to probe terminals during diagnosis. Use an
appropriate fuse remover and test tool for removing a fuse and
to adapt the fuse holder to a meter for diagnosis.
Open circuits are often difficult to locate by sight because
oxidation or terminal misalignment are hidden by the
connectors. Merely wiggling a connector on a sensor, or in the
wiring harness, may temporarily correct the open circuit.
Intermittent problems may also be caused by oxidized or loose
connections.
Be certain of the type of connector/terminal before making any
connector or terminal repair. Weather-Pack and Com-Pack III
terminals look similar, but are serviced differently.

WEATHER-PACK CONNECTOR
TOOLS REQUIRED
5-8840-0388-0 Weather-Pack II Terminal Remover
REMOVAL
A Weather-Pack connector can be identified by a rubber seal
at the rear of the connector. This engine room connector
protects against moisture and dirt, which could form oxidation
and deposits on the terminals. This protection is important,
because of the low voltage and the low amperage found in the
electronic sy stems.
1. Open the secondary lock hinge on the connector.
2. Use tool 5-8840-0388-0 or the equivalent to remove the
pin and the sleeve terminals. Push on 5-8840-0388-0 to
release.
Notice: Do not use an ordinary pick or the terminal may be
bent or deformed. Unlike standard blade terminals, these
terminals cannot be straightened after they have been
improperly bent.
3. Cut the wire immediately behind the cable seal.
INSTALLATION
Make certain the connectors are properly seated and all of the
sealing rings are in place when you reconnect the leads. The
secondary lock hinge provides a backup locking feature for the
connector. The secondary lock hinge is used for added
reliability. This flap should retain the terminals even if the small
terminal lock tangs are not positioned properly.
Do not replace the Weather-Pack connections with standard
connections. Read the instructions provided with the Weather-
Pack connector and terminal packages.

Pack terminals. This terminal is not sealed and is used where
resistance to the environment is not required. Use the standard
method when repairing a terminal. Do not use the Weather-
Pack terminal tool 5-8840-0388-0 or equivalent. These will
damage the terminals.
METRI-PACK
TOOLS REQUIRED
5-8840-0632-0 Terminal Remover

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ECM AND SENSORS
58X REFERENCE ECM INPUT
The engine control module (ECM) uses this signal from the
crankshaft position (CKP) sensor to calculate engine RPM and
crankshaft position at all engine speeds. The ECM also uses
the pulses on this circuit to initiate injector pulses. If the ECM
receives a number of pulses other than the expected amount,
DTC 19, will set. The engine will not start and run without using
the 58X reference signal.
A/C REQUEST SIGNAL
This signal tells the ECM when the A/C mode is selected at the
A/C control switch. The ECM uses this signal to adjust the idle
speed before turning ON the A/C clutch. The A/C compressor
will be inoperative if this signal is not available to the ECM.
Refer to A/C Clutch Circuit Diagnosis for A/C wiring
diagrams and diagnosis for the A/C electrical system.
CRANKSHAFT POSITION ( CKP) SENSOR
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor provides a signal used
by the engine control module (ECM) to calculate the ignition
sequence and ECM uses this signal as a trigger for fuel
injection timing and spark timing. The CKP sensor initiates the
58X reference pulses which the ECM uses to calculate RPM
and crankshaft position.
Refer to Electronic Ignition System for additional information.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor
(a resistor which changes value based on temperature)
mounted in the engine coolant stream. Low coolant
temperature produces a high resistance of about 100,000
ohms at 40°C (40°F). High temperature causes a low
resistance of about 70 ohms at 130°C (266°F).
The ECM supplies a 5-volt signal to the ECT sensor through
resistors internal to the ECM and then measures the voltage
after the internal resistor. This signal voltage will be high when
the engine is cold and low when the engine is hot. By
measuring the voltage, the ECM calculates the engine coolant
temperature. Engine coolant temperature affects most of the
systems that the ECM controls.
The Scan Tool displays engine coolant temperature in
degrees. After engine start-up, the temperature should rise
steadily to about 92°C (197°F). It then stabilizes when the
thermostat opens. If the engine has not been run for several
hours (overnight), the engine coolant temperature and intake
air temperature displays should be close to each other. A hard
fault in the engine coolant sensor circuit will set DTC 14 or 15.
FUEL CONTROL HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR
(IF APPLICABLE)
The fuel control heated oxygen sensor is mounted in the
exhaust stream where it can monitor the oxygen content of the
exhaust gas. The oxygen present in the exhaust gas reacts
with the sensor to produce a voltage output. This voltage
should constantly fluctuate from approximately 60mV to
900mV. The heated oxygen sensor voltage can be monitored
with a Scan Tool. By monitoring the voltage output of the
oxygen sensor, the ECM calculates the pulse width command
for the injectors to produce the proper combustion chamber
mixture.
Low HO2S voltage is a lean mixture which will result in a rich
command to compensate.
High HO2S voltage is a rich mixture which will result in a
lean command to compensate.
When HO2S is not ready for use as a feedback for fuel control
system, Diagnostic Trouble Code 13 will be set and the scan
tool will display a voltage between 340mv and 540mv.
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is a thermistor which
changes its resistance based on the temperature of air
entering the engine. Low temperature produces a high
resistance of about 100,000 ohms at 40°C (40°F). High
temperature causes low resistance of about 70 ohms at 130°C
(266°F). The ECM supplies a 5-volt signal to the sensor
through a resistor internal to the ECM, and then monitors the
signal voltage. The voltage will be high when the incoming air
is cold. The voltage will be low when the incoming air is hot. By
measuring the voltage, the ECM calculates the incoming air
temperature. the IAT sensor signal is used to adjust spark
timing according to the incoming air density.
The Scan Tool displays the temperature of the air entering the
engine. The temperature should read close to the ambient air
temperature when the engine is cold and rise as underhood
temperature increases. If the engine has not been run for
several hours (overnight), the IAT sensor temperature and
engine coolant temperature should read close to each other. A
failure in the IAT sensor circuit will set DTC 69 or DTC 71.
MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP) SENSOR
The MAP sensor responds to changes in intake manifold
pressure (vacuum). the MAP sensor signal voltage to the ECM
varies from below 2 volts at idle (high vacuum) to above 4 volts
with the ignition ON, engine not running or at wide-open throttle
(low vacuum).
The MAP sensor is used to determine the following.
Engine vacuum level for other diagnostics.
Barometric pressure (BARO).
If the ECM detects a voltage that is lower than the possible
range of the MAP sensor, DTC 34 will be set. A signal voltage
higher than the possible range of the sensor will DTC 33.
ENGINE CO NTROL MODULE (ECM)
The engine control module (ECM) is located in the passenger
compartment at the Instrument panel lower center cover
assembly. The ECM controls the following:
Fuel metering system.
Ignition timing.
On-board diagnostics for electrical functions.
The ECM constantly observes the information from various
sensors. The ECM controls the systems that affect vehicle
performance. The ECM performs the diagnostic function of the
system. It can recognize operational problems, alert the driver
through the Check Engine lamp, and store diagnostic trouble
codes (DTCs). DTCs identify the problem areas to aid the
technician in making repairs.
ECM FUNCTION
The ECM supplies either 5 or 12 volts to power various
sensors or switches. The power is supplied through resistors in
the ECM which are so high in value that a test light will not light
when connected to the circuit. In some cases, even an ordinary
shop voltmeter will not give an accurate reading because its
resistance is too low. Therefore, a digital voltmeter with at least
10 megohms input impedance is required to ensure accurate
voltage readings. Tool 5-8840-2392-0 meets this requirement.
The ECM controls output circuits such as the injectors, IAC,
etc., by controlling the ground or the power feed circuit through
transistors or through either of the following two devices:
Output Driver Module (ODM)
Quad Driver Module (QDM)
ECM COM PONENTS
The ECM is designed to maintain exhaust emission levels to
government mandated standards while providing excellent
driveability and fuel efficiency. The ECM monitors numerous
engine and vehicle functions via electronic sensors such as the
throttle position sensor (TPS), heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) if
applicable, and vehicle speed sensor (VSS). The ECM also
controls certain engine operations through the following:
Fuel injector control
Ignition control module
Evaporative emission (EVAP) purge
A/C clutch control
ECM VOLTAGE DESCRIPTION
The ECM supplies a buffered voltage to various switches and
sensors. It can do this because resistors in the ECM which are
so high in value that a test light may not illuminate when
connected to the circuit. An ordinary shop voltmeter may not
give an accurate reading because the voltmeter input
impedance is too low. Use a 10-megohm input impedance
digital voltmeter (such as 5-8840-2392-0) to assure accurate
voltage readings.
The input/output devices in the ECM include analog-to-digital
converters, signal buffers, counters, and special drivers. The
ECM controls most components with electronic switches which
complete a ground circuit when turned "ON." These switches
are arranged in groups of 4, called a quad driver module
(QDM), which can independently control up to 4 output.

ECM SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
The ECM is designed to withstand normal current draws
associated with vehicle operation. Avoid overloading any
circuit. When testing for opens and shorts, do not ground or
apply voltage to any of the ECM's circuits unless instructed to
do so. These circuits should only be tested using digital
voltmeter 5-8840-2392-0. The ECM should remain connected
to the ECM or to a recommended breakout box.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS)
The throttle position sensor (TPS) is a potentiometer
connected to the throttle shaft on the throttle body. The ECM
monitors the voltage on the signal line and calculates throttle
position. As the throttle valve angle is changed (accelerator
pedal moved), the TPS signal also changes. At a closed
throttle position, the output of the TPS is about 0.25 Volts. As
the throttle valve opens, the output increases so that at wide
open throttle (WOT), the output voltage should be about 4.75
volts.
The ECM calculates fuel delivery based on throttle valve angle
and manifold pressure for fuel delivery under the most
circumstances. A broken or loose TPS may cause intermittent
bursts of fuel from an injector and unstable idle because the
ECM thinks the throttle is moving. A hard failure in the TPS 5-
volt reference or signal circuits will set either a DTC21 or 22. If
ECM detects a low impedance short to ground in the TPS
circuit, Diagnostic Trouble code 22 will be set.
If ECM detects a low impedance short to battery in the TPS
circuit, Diagnostic Trouble Code 21 will be set.
VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR ( VSS)
The ECM determines the speed of the vehicle by converting a
pulsing voltage signal from the vehicle speed sensor (VSS)
into km per hour. The ECM uses this signal to operate the
speedometer.
USE OF CIRCUIT TESTING TOOLS
Do not use a test light to diagnose the electic electrical system
unless specifically instructed by the diagnostic procedures. Use
Connector Test Adapter Kit 5-8840-0385-0 whenever
diagnostic procedures call for probing connectors.
AFTERMARKET ELECTRICAL AND VACUUM
EQUIPMENT
Aftermarket (add-on) electrical and vacuum equipment is
defined as any equipment which connects to the vehicle's
electrical or vacuum systems that is installed on a vehicle after
it leaves the factory. No allowances have been made in the
vehicle design for this type of equipment.
Notice: No add-on vacuum equipment should be added to this
vehicle.
Notice: Add-on electrical equipment must only be connected
to the vehicle's electrical system at the battery (power and
ground).
Add-on electrical equipment, even when installed to these
guidelines, may still cause the electric system to malfunction.
This may also include equipment not connected to the vehicle
electrical system such as portable telephones and radios.
Therefore, the first step in diagnosing any electric problem is to
eliminate all aftermarket electrical equipment from the vehicle.
After this is done, if the problem still exists, it may be
diagnosed in the normal manner.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE DAMAGE
Electronic components used in the ECM are often designed to
carry very low voltage. Electronic components are susceptible
to damage caused by electrostatic discharge. Less than 100
volts of static electricity can cause damage to some electronic
components. By comparison, it takes as much as 4000 volts
for a person to feel even the zap of a static discharge.
There are several ways for a person to become statically
charged. The most common methods of charging are by
friction and induction.
An exam ple of c harging by friction is a person sliding acros s
a vehicle seat.
Charge by induction occurs when a person with well-
insulated shoes stands near a highly charged object and
momentarily touches ground. Charges of the same polarity
are drained off leaving the person highly charged with the
opposite polarity. Static charges can cause damage,
therefore it is important to use care when handling and
testing electronic components.
Notice: To prevent possible electrostatic discharge damage,
follow these guidelines:
Do not touch the ECM connector pins or soldered
components on the ECM circuit board.
Do not touch any electronic module component leads.
Do not open the replacement part package until the part is
ready to be installed.
Before removing the part from the package, ground the
package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
If the part has been handled while sliding across the seat,
while sitting down from a standing position, or while walking
a distance, touc h a known good ground before installing the
part.
AI R INDUCTION
AI R INDUCTION SYSTEM
The air induction system filters contaminants from the outside air,
and directs the progress of the air as it is drawn into the engine. A
remote-mounted air cleaner prevents dirt and debris in the air from
entering the engine. The air duct assembly routes filtered air to the
throttle body. Air enters the engine by the following steps:
1. Through the throttle body.
2. Into the intake manifold.
3. Through the cylinder head intake ports.
4. Into the cylinders.
FUEL METERING
ACCELERATION MODE
The ECM provides extra fuel when it detects a rapid increase
in the throttle position and the air flow.
ACCELERATOR CONTROLS
the accelerator control system is a cable-type system with
specific linkage adjustments.
Refer to Cable Adjustment.
BATTERY VOLTAGE CORRECTION MODE
When battery voltage is low, the ECM will compensate for the
weak spark by increasing the following:
The amount of fuel delivered.
The idle RPM.
CLEAR FLOOD MODE
Clear a flooded engine by pushing the accelerator pedal down
all the way. The ECM then de-energizes the fuel injectors. The
ECM holds the fuel injectors de-energized as long as the
throttle remains above 75% and the engine speed is below 800
RPM. If the throttle position becomes less than 75%, the ECM
again begins to pulse the injectors ON and OFF, allowing fuel
into the cylinders.
DECELERATION FUEL CUTOFF (DFCO) M ODE
The ECM reduces the amount of fuel injected when it detects a
decrease in the throttle position and the air flow. When
deceleration is very fast, the ECM may cut off fuel completely.
Until enable conditions meet the engine revolution less 1000
rpm or manifold absolute pressure less than 10 kpa.
ENGINE SPEED/ VEHICLE SPEED/
FUEL DISABLE MODE
The ECM monitors engine speed. It turns off the fuel injectors
when the engine speed increases above 6000 RPM. The fuel
injectors are turned back on when engine speed decreases
below 3500 RPM.
FUEL CUTOFF MODE
No fuel is delivered by the fuel injectors when the ignition is
OFF. This prevents engine run-on. In addition, the ECM
suspends fuel delivery if no reference pulses are detected
(engine not running) to prevent engine flooding.
FUEL INJECTOR
The group fuel injection fuel injector is a solenoid-operated
device controlled by the ECM. The ECM energizes the
solenoid, which opens a valve to allow fuel delivery.
The fuel is injected under pressure in a conical spray pattern at
the opening of the intake valve. Excess fuel not used by the
injectors passes through the fuel pressure regulator before
being returned to the fuel tank.
A fuel injector which is stuck partly open will cause a loss of
fuel pressure after engine shut down, causing long crank
times.
FUEL METERING SYSTEM CO MPONENTS
The fuel metering system is made up of the following parts:
The fuel injectors.
The throttle body.
The fuel rail.
The fuel pressure regulator.
The ECM.
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor.
The idle air control (IAC) valve.
The fuel pump.
The fuel pump relay.
BASI C SYSTEM O PERATION
The fuel metering system starts with the fuel in the fuel tank.
An electric fuel pump, located in the fuel tank, pumps fuel to
the fuel rail through an in-line fuel filter. The pump is designed
to provide fuel at a pressure above the pressure needed by the
injectors. A fuel pressure regulator in the fuel rail keeps fuel
available to the fuel injectors at a constant pressure. A return
line delivers unused fuel back to the fuel tank. Refer to
Section 8A for further information on the fuel tank, line filter,
and fuel pipes.
FUEL METERING SYSTEM PURPO SE
The basic function of the air/fuel metering system is to control
the air/fuel delivery to the engine. Fuel is delivered to the
engine by individual fuel injectors mounted in the intake
manifold near each intake valve.
Following are applicable to the vehicle with closed Loop
System:
The ECM monitors signals from several sensors in order to
determine the fuel needs of the engine. Fuel is delivered under
one of several conditions called "modes." All modes are
controlled by the ECM.
The main control sensor is the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S)
located in the exhaust system. The HO2S tells the ECM how
much oxygen is in the exhaust gas. The ECM changes the
air/fuel ratio to the engine by controlling the amount of time that
the fuel injector is ON. The best mixture to minimize exhaust
emissions is 14.7 parts of air to 1 part of gasoline by weight,
which allows the catalytic converter to operate most efficiently.
Because of the constant measuring and adjusting of the
air/fuel ratio, the fuel injection system is called a "closed loop"
system.
FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR
The fuel pressure regulator is a diaphragm-operated relief
valve mounted on the fuel rail with fuel pump pressure on one
side and manifold pressure on the other side. The fuel
pressure regulator maintains the fuel pressure available to the
injector at three times barometric pressure adjusted for engine
load. It may be serviced separately.
If the pressure is too low, poor performance and a DTC 44, will
be the result. If the pressure is too high, a DTC 45 will be the
result. Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis for information on
diagnosing fuel pressure conditions.
FUEL PUMP ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT
When the key is first turned ON, the ECM energizes the fuel
pump relay for two seconds to build up the fuel pressure
quickly. If the engine is not started within two seconds, the
ECM shuts the fuel pump off and waits until the engine is
cranked. When the engine is cranked and the 58X crankshaft
position signal has been detected by the ECM, the ECM
supplies 12 volts to the fuel pump relay to energiz e the electric
in-tank fuel pump.
An inoperative fuel pump will cause a "no-start" condition. A
fuel pump which does not provide enough pressure will result
in poor performance.
FUEL RAIL
The fuel rail is mounted to the top of the engine and distributes
fuel to the individual injectors. Fuel is delivered to the fuel inlet
tube of the fuel rail by the fuel lines. The fuel goes through the
fuel rail to the fuel pressure regulator. The fuel pressure
regulator maintains a constant fuel pressure at the injectors.
Remaining fuel is then returned to the fuel tank.
IDLE AIR CONTROL (IAC) VALVE
The purpose of the idle air control (IAC) valve is to control
engine idle speed, while preventing stalls due to changes in
engine load. The IAC valve, mounted in the throttle body,
controls bypass air around the throttle plate. By moving the
conical valve (pintle) in (to decrease air flow) or out (to
increase air flow), a controlled amount of air can move around
the throttle plate. If the RPM is too low, the ECM will retract the
IAC pintle, resulting in more air moving past the throttle plate to
increase the RPM. If the RPM is too high, the ECM will extend
the IAC pintle, allowing less air to move past the throttle plate,
decreasing the RPM.
The IAC pintle valve moves in small steps called counts.
During idle, the proper position of the IAC pintle is calculated
by the ECM based on battery voltage, coolant temperature,
engine load, and engine RPM. If the RPM drops below a
specified value, and the throttle plate is closed, the ECM
senses a near-stall condition. The ECM will then calculate a
new IAC pintle valve position to prevent stalls.
If the IAC valve is disconnected and reconnected with the
engine running, the idle RPM will be wrong. In this case, the
IAC must be reset. The IAC resets when the key is cycled on
ON then OFF. When servicing the IAC, it should only be
disconnected or connected with the ignition OFF.
The position of the IAC pintle valve affects engine start-up and
the idle characteristics of the vehicle. When the ECM detects
the 175 rpm higher engine revolution than desires engine rpm,
this malfunction detects an error in the IAC control logic.
Diagnostic Trouble code 35 will be set.
RUN MODE ( APPLICABLE TO
CLOSED LOOP SYSTEMS)
The run mode has the following two conditions:
Open loop
Closed loop
When the engine is first started, the system is in "open loop"
operation. In "Open Loop," the ECM ignores the signal from
the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S). It calculates the air/fuel
ratio based on inputs from the TP, ECT, and MAP sensors.
The system remains in "Open Loop" until the following
conditions are met:
The HO2S has a varying voltage output showing that it is hot
enough to operate properly (this depends on temperature).
The ECT has reached a specified temperature.
A specific amount of time has elapsed since starting the
engine.
Engine speed has been greater than a specified RPM since
start-up.
The specific values for the above conditions vary with different
engines and are stored in the programmable read only memory
(PROM). When these conditions are met, the system enters
"closed loop" operation. In "closed loop," the ECM calculates
the air/fuel ratio (injector on-time) based on the signal from the
HO2S. This allows the air/fuel ratio to stay very close to 14.7:1.
STARTING MODE
When the ignition is first turned ON, the ECM energizes the
fuel pump relay for two seconds to allow the fuel pump to build
up pressure. The ECM then checks the engine coolant
temperature (ECT) sensor and the throttle position (TP) sensor
to determine the proper air/fuel ratio for starting.
The ECM controls the amount of fuel delivered in the starting
mode by adjusting how long the fuel injectors are energized by
pulsing the injectors for very short times.
THROTTLE BODY UNIT
The throttle body has a throttle plate to control the amount of
air delivered to the engine. The TP sensor and IAC valve are
also mounted on the throttle body.
Vacuum ports located behind the throttle plate provide the
vacuum signals needed by various components. Engine
coolant is directed through a coolant cavity in the throttle body
to warm the throttle valve and to prevent icing.
ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor provides a signal used
by the engine control module (ECM) to calculate the ignition
sequence. The sensor initiates the 58X reference pulses which
the ECM uses to calculate RPM and crankshaft position. Refer
to Electronic Ignition System for additional information.
ELECTRONIC IGNITION
The electronic ignition system controls fuel combustion by
providing a spark to ignite the compressed air/fuel mixture at
the correct time. The provide optimum engine performance,
fuel economy, and control of exhaust emissions, the ECM
controls the spark advance of the ignition system. Electronic
ignition has the following advantages over a mechanical
distributor system:
No moving parts.
Less maintenance.
Remote mounting capability.
No mechanical load on the engine.
More coil cool down time between firing events.
Elimination of mechanical timing adjustments.
Increased available ignition coil saturation time.
IGNITION COILS
The all engines use 2 ignition coils, 1 per 2 cylinders. A two-
wire connector provides a 12-volt primary supply through the
15-amp ignition coil fuse.
IGNITION CONTROL
The ignition control (IC) spark timing is the ECM's method of
controlling the spark advance and the ignition dwell.
The IC spark advance and the ignition dwell are calculated by
the ECM using the following inputs:
Engine speed.
Crankshaft position (58X reference).
Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor.
Throttle position (TP) sensor.
Vehicle speed (vehicle speed sensor).
ECM and ignition system supply voltage.
IGNITION CONTROL ECM OUTPUT
Ignition Coil works to generate only the secondary voltage be
receiving the primary voltage from ECM.
The primary voltage is generated at the coil driver located in
the ECM. The coil driver generate the primary voltage based
on the X58 signal. In accordance with the X58 signal, ignition
coil driver determines the adequate ignition timing and also
cylinder number to ignite.
Ignition timing is determined the Coolant Temp., Intake Air
Temp., Engine Speed, Engine Load, knock Sensor Signal, etc.
ENGINE CO NTROL MODULE (ECM)
The ECM is responsible for maintaining proper spark and fuel
injection timing for all driving conditions. To provide optimum
driveability and emissions, the ECM monitors the input signals
from the following components in order to calculate spark
timing:
Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor.
Intake air temperature (IAT) sensor.
Throttle position sensor (TPS).
Vehicle speed sensor (VSS).
Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor.
SPARK PLUG
Although worn or dirty spark plugs may give satisfactory
operation at idling speed, they frequently fail at higher engine
speeds. Faulty spark plugs may cause poor fuel economy,
power loss, loss of speed, hard starting and generally poor
engine performance. Follow the scheduled maintenance service
recommendations to ensure satisfactory spark plug
performance. Refer to Maintena nce and Lubric ation.
Normal spark plug operation will result in brown to grayish-tan
deposits appearing on the insulator portion of the spark plug. A
small amount of red-brown, yellow, and white powdery material
may also be present on the insulator tip around the center
electrode. These deposits are normal combustion by-products
of fuels and lubricating oils with additives. Some electrode
wear will also occur. Engines which are not running properly
are often referred to as "misfiring." This means the ignition
spark is not igniting the air/fuel mixture at the proper time.
While other ignition and fuel system causes must also be
considered, possible causes include ignition system conditions
which allow the spark voltage to reach ground in some other
manner than by jumping across the air gap at the tip of the
spark plug, leaving the air/fuel mixture unburned. Misfiring may
also occur when the tip of the spark plug becomes overheated
and ignites the mixture before the spark jumps. This is referred
to as "pre-ignition."
Spark plugs may also misfire due to fouling, excessive gap, or
a cracked or broken insulator. If misfiring occurs before the
recommended replacement interval, locate and correct the
cause.
Carbon fouling of the spark plug is indicated by dry, black
carbon (soot) deposits on the portion of the spark plug in the
cylinder. Excessive idling and slow speeds under light engine
loads can keep the spark plug temperatures so low that these
deposits are not burned off. Very rich fuel mixtures or poor
ignition system output may also be the cause. Refer to
DTC 45.
Oil fouling of the spark plug is indicated by wet oily deposits on
the portion of the spark plug in the cylinder, usually with little
electrode wear. This may be caused by oil during break-in of
new or newly overhauled engines. Deposit fouling of the spark
plug occurs when the normal red-brown, yellow or white
deposits of combustion by-products become sufficient to cause
misfiring. In some cases, these deposits may melt and form a
shiny glaze on the insulator around the center electrode. If the
fouling is found in only one or two cylinders, valve stem
clearances or intake valve seals may be allowing excess
lubricating oil to enter the cylinder, particularly if the deposits
are heavier on the side of the spark plug facing the intake
valve.
Excessive gap means that the air space between the center
and the side electrodes at the bottom of the spark plug is too
wide for consistent firing. This may be due to improper gap
adjustment or to excessive wear of the electrode during use. A
check of the gap size and comparison to the gap specified for
the vehicle in Maintenance and Lubrication will tell if the gap is
too wide. A spark plug gap that is too small may cause an
unstable idle condition. Excessive gap wear can be an
indication of continuous operation at high speeds or with
engine loads, causing the spark to run too hot. Another
possible cause is an excessively lean fuel mixture.
Low or high spark plug installation torque or improper seating
can result in the spark plug running too hot and can cause
excessive center electrode wear. The plug and the cylinder
head seats must be in good contact for proper heat transfer
and spark plug cooling. Dirty or damaged threads in the head
or on the spark plug can keep it from seating even though the
proper torque is applied. Once spark plugs are properly
seated, tighten them to the torque shown in the Specifications
Table. Low torque may result in poor contact of the seats due
to a loose spark plug. Over tightening may cause the spark
plug shell to be stretched and will result in poor contact
between the seats. In extreme cases, exhaust blow-by and
damage beyond simple gap wear may occur.
Cracked or broken insulators may be the result of improper
installation, damage during spark plug re-gapping, or heat
shock to the insulator material. Upper insulators can be broken
when a poorly fitting tool is used during installation or removal,
when the spark plug is hit from the outside, or is dropped on a
hard surface. Cracks in the upper insulator may be inside the
shell and not visible. Also, the breakage may not cause
problems until oil or moisture penetrates the crack later.
A broken or cracked lower insulator tip (around the center
electrode) may result from damage during re-gapping or from
"heat shock" (spark plug suddenly operating too hot).
Damage during re-gapping can happen if the gapping tool is
pushed against the center electrode or the insulator around
it, causing the insulator to crack. When re-gapping a spark
plug, make the adjustment by bending only the ground side
terminal, keeping the tool clear of other parts.
"Heat shock" breakage in the lower insulator tip generally
occurs during several engine operating conditions (high
speeds or heavy loading) and may be caused by over-
advanced timing or low grade fuels. Heat shock refers to a
rapid increase in the tip temperature that causes the
insulator material to crack.
Spark plugs with less than the recommended amount of
service can sometimes be cleaned and re-gapped, then
returned to service. However, if there is any doubt about the
serviceability of a spark plug, replace it. Spark plugs with
cracked or broken insulators should always be replaced.
A/ C CLUTCH DIAGNOSIS
A/ C CLUTCH CIRCUIT OPERATION
A 12-volt signal is supplied to the A/C request input of the ECM
when the A/C is selected through the A/C control switch.
The A/C compressor clutch relay is controlled through the
ECM. This allows the ECM to modify the idle air control
position prior to the A/C clutch engagement for better idle
quality. If the engine operating conditions are within their
specified calibrated acceptable ranges, the ECM will enable
the A/C compressor relay. This is done by providing a ground
path for the A/C relay coil within the ECM. When the A/C
compressor relay is enabled, battery voltage is supplied to the
compressor relay is enabled, battery voltage is supplied to the
compressor clutch coil.
The ECM will enable the A/C compressor clutch whenever the
engine is running and the A/C has been requested. The ECM
will not enable the A/C compressor clutch if any of the following
conditions are met:
The engine speed is greater than 6000 RPM.
The ECT is greater than 122°C (251°F).
The throttle is more than 95% open.
A/ C CLUTCH CIRCUIT PURPOSE
The A/C compressor operation is controlled by the engine
control module (ECM) for the following reasons:
It improves idle quality during compressor clutch
engagement.
It improves wide open throttle (WOT) performance.
It provides A/C compressor protection from operation with
incorrect refrigerant pressures.
The A/C electrical system consists of the following
components:
The A/C control switch.
The A/C refrigerant pressure switches.
The A/C compressor cl utch.
The A/C compressor clutch relay.
The ECM.
A/C REQUEST SIGNAL
This signal tells the ECM when the A/C mode is selected at the
A/C control switch. The ECM uses this input to adjust the idle
speed before turning on the A/C clutch. The A/C compressor
will be inoperative if this signal is not available to the ECM.
Refer to A/C Clutch Circuit Diagnosis for A/C wiring
diagrams and diagnosis for the A/C electrical system.
EVAPORATIVE EMISSIO N ( EVAP) SYSTEM
(IF APPLICABLE)
EVAP EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM PURPOSE
The basic evaporative emission (EVAP) control system used
on all vehicles is the charcoal canister storage method.
Gasoline vapors from the fuel tank flow into the canister
through the inlet labeled "TANK." These vapors are absorbed
into the activated carbon (charcoal) storage device (canister) in
order to hold the vapors when the vehicle is not operating. The
canister is purged by ECM control when the engine coolant
temperature is over 60°C (140°F), the IAT reading is over 10°C
(50°F), and the engine has been running. Air is drawn into
canister through the air inlet grid. The air mixes with the vapor
and the mixture is drawn into the intake manifold.
EVAP EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION
The EVAP canister purge is controlled by a solenoid valve that
allows the manifold vacuum to purge the canister. The engine
control module (ECM) supplies a ground to energize the
solenoid valve (purge on). The EVAP purge solenoid control is
pulse-width modulated (PWM) (turned on and off several times
a second). The duty cycle (pulse width) is determined by
engine operating conditions including load, throttle position,
coolant temperature and ambient temperature. The duty cycle
is calculated by the ECM. the output is commanded when the
appropriate conditions have been met. These conditions are:
The engine is fully warmed up.
The engine has been running for a specified time.
The IAT reading is above 10°C (50°F).
A continuous purge condition with no purge commanded by
the ECM will set a DTC 62.
Purge/Vacuum Hoses. Made of rubber compounds, these
hoses route the gasoline fumes from their sources to the
canister and from the canister to the intake air flow.
EVAP Canister. Mounted on a bracket ahead of the fuel
tank, the canister stores fuel vapors until the ECM
determined that engine conditions are right for them to be
removed and burned.
Poor idle, stalling and Poor driveability can be caused by:
A malfunctioning purge solenoid.
A damaged canister.
Hoses that are split, cracked, or not connected properly.
SYSTEM FAULT DETECTION
The EVAP leak detection strategy is based on applying
vacuum to the EVAP system and monitoring vacuum decay. At
an appropriate time, the EVAP purge solenoid is turned "ON,"
allowing the engine vacuum to draw a small vacuum on the
entire evaporative emission system.
After the desired vacuum level has been achieved, the EVAP
purge solenoid is turned "OFF," sealing the system. A leak is
detected by monitoring for a decrease in vacuum level over a
given time period, all other variables remaining constant.
If the desired vacuum level cannot be achieved in the test
described above, a large leak or a faulty EVAP purge control
solenoid valve is indicated.
Leaks can be caused by the following conditions:
Missing or faulty fuel cap
Disconnected, damaged, pinched, or blocked EVAP purge
line
Disconnected, damaged, pinched, or blocked fuel tank
vapor line
Disconnected or faulty EVAP purge control solenoid valve
Open ignition feed circuit to the purge solenoid
Damaged EVAP canister
Leaking fuel sender assembly O-ring
Leaking fuel tank or fuel filler neck
The ECM supplies a ground to energize the purge control
solenoid valve (purge "ON" ). The EVAP purge control is
PWM, or turned "ON" and "OFF," several times a second.
The duty cycle (pulse width) is determined by engine operating
conditions including load, throttle position, coolant temperature
and ambient temperature. The duty cycle is calculated by the
ECM and the output is commanded when the appropriate
conditions have been met.
The system checks for conditions that cause the EVAP system
to purge continuously by commanding the EVAP purge
solenoid "OFF", EVAP purge PWM "0%". If fuel tank vacuum
level increases during the test, a continuous purge flow
condition is indicated. This can be caused by the following
conditions:
EVAP purge solenoid leaking
EVAP purge and engine vacuum lines s witched at the EVAP
purge control solenoid valve
EVAP purge control solenoid valve driver circuit grounded
POSITIVE CRANKCASE
VENTILATION (PCV) SYSTEM
CRANKCASE VENTI LATION SYSTEM PURPOSE
The crankcase ventilation system is used to consume
crankcase vapors in the combustion process instead of venting
them to the atmosphere. Fresh air from the throttle body is
supplied to the crankcase and mixed with blow-by gases. This
mixture is then passed through the positive crankcase
ventilation (PCV) port into the intake manifold.
While the engine is running, exhaust gases and small amounts
of the fuel/air mixture escape past the piston rings and enter
the crankcase. these gases are mixed with clean air entering
through a tube from the air intake duct.
During normal, part-throttle operation, the system is designed
to allow crankcase gases to flow through the PCV hose into
the intake manifold to be consumed by normal combustion.
A plugged positive crankcase ventilation port or PCV hose may
cause the following conditions:
Rough idle.
Stalling or slow idle speed.
Oil leaks.
Sludge in the engine.
A leaking PCV hose would cause:
Rough idle.
Stalling.
High idle speed.
