ECM relay, testing 
The engine control module (ECM) relay is energized via  the 
ECM and  supplies battery positive 
(B+) power to many  of the 
engine 
management components and subsystems.  If this re- 
lay is faulty,  the engine will not start. 
CAUTIOI\C 
Relay positions can vary. Be sure  to confirm relay position  by 
identifying  the wiring 
in the socket  using the wiring  diagrams 
in ELE Electrical Wiring  Diagrams.

Oxygen sensors, checking 
The  oxygen  sensor provides  an input  voltage  signal [0.2 vdc 
(lean)  to 0.8  vdc  (rich)] to  the 
ECM based on  the oxygen  con- 
tent  in the  exhaust gas.  To generate  voltage, the  sensor tem- 
perature  must exceed 575" 
F (300"  C). Therefore  the sensor 
is  electrically  heated. 
NO  JE - 
The test given  below is not  a conclusive  test of oxygen  sen- 
sor efficiency  and does  not test how  the oxygen sensor re- 
acts to changing  conditions. Pin numbers and  wire colors 
can vary  Always check the  wiring diagrams to  confirm wire 
color  and pin assignment. 
0 The  oxygen  sensorconnectorplugs  are locatednext to the 
catalytic converters. 
With  connector  attached  to sensor, connect digital voltmeter 
between 
A and B wires  in connector. 
WARNING - 
Exhaust manifolds andpipes can be  hot enough  to cause se- 
rious burns.  Wear suitable  heavy gloves  and other  appropri- 
ate  protection. 
NOJE- 
Connector  style may vary  depending  on system  application. 
Consult wiring diagram  for system-specific  wiring. See 
ELE 
Electrical Wiring Diagrams. 
Start  engine. 
A fluctuating  voltage signal should  show on the 
meter. 
If voltage  is incorrect, turn engine  off and  check pre- 
heater  circuit  as described  below. 
NOJE- 
To check sensor  response to lean  and rich mixtures,  create 
an  air leak. 
Oxygen  sensor

- Connect  digital voltmeterbetween  sensor heaterwires  (white 
wires, 
C and  D). Start engine  and check for battery  voltage. 
If  voltage  is not  present,  check oxygen sensor  heater fuses.

The  oxygen  sensor heater is powered  via fusedpositive (+) 
battery  voltage  and a switchedground  from the ECM.  See

tion. 
- The  ground  side of the  oxygen sensor heater circuit  is pulsed 
on  and  off by the 
DME control  module.

NOJE- 
With engine oft disconnect harness connector  and checlc 
heating element resistance between white wires  on the  sen- 
sor  side  of harness.  If the element is electrically open  (no 
continuity), replace sensor. 
- If  oxygen sensor  does not produce  a fluctuating  voltage and 
preheater  circuit  is 
OK, replace sensor. 
NOJE- 
If not already applied, coat oxygen  sensor threads w~th anti- 
seize compound before installat~on. Do not  get  the com-

Fuel injectors, checking and replacing 
The fuel iniectors  are switched on  and off (oaened and 
closed) 
by'the ECM. The  injectors  are connkcted to acom- 
mon power  source. A ground signal from  the ECM is used to 
open  and close the  injectors. 
CA U JIOG 
Use only a digital multimeter or  an  LED injector  tester when 
testing injectors or  wiring. Use of an  analog 
VOM or incan- 
descent test light  may damaqe the engine  controlmodule. 
4 Remove fuel rail cover.  See 110 Engine  Removal  and  in- 
stallation. 
With  the engine running,  place the point  of a long screwdriver 
on  each  injector  and check  for a cliclting  vibration. 
If no vibra- 
tion  is  found  do the voltage 
checit shown below.

- Loosen  mounting  nuts A.

4 Release spring  clips (arrows) from fuel injectors and  pull in- 
jector  electrical  loom straight  up to remove. 
4 Check that  ECM signal is present  at injector connectors. 
- Connect  digital voltmeter  to fuel injector harness plug. 
Operate  starter and 
check for voltage pulse. 
* Repeat for  each injector. 
- Remove fuel injectors by removing retaining clips 
- Installation is reverse  of removal: 
Fit new O-rings when installing injectors.  For ease  of instal- 
lation,  lightly lubricate  all fuel system O-rings with assem- 
bly lubricant. 
Check that  injector electrical connections are  correctly fit- 
ted and  that 
injectors are fully seated  prior to installing  iuel 
rail mounting bolts. 
Mass  air flow sensor  (MAF),  replacing 
The MAF sensor is provided  with operating power from  the 
ECM  relay.  Based on  calculated intake air mass,  the MAF 
generates 
avarying voltage (approx. 0.5 - 4.5 vdc)  as an  input 
signal to  the ECM. 
4 Remove  MAF sensor: 
Remove upper  air filter  housing locking clips. 
Unscrew and remove  MAF sensor harness 
(A). 
Disconnect intake air temperature sensor harness (B). 
Loosen  hose clamp (C). 
Remove upper filter  housing with sensor.

I Fuel Injection ldle speed control  valve, 
testing  and replacing 
ldle speed  is maintained  by the ECM through  the idle speed 
control  valve. The idle control function compensates  for en- 
gine load  and engine  operating conditions.  ldle speed is 
adaptive through  the ECM and  no adjustments  can be made. 
Before checking  valve, confirm that throttle position sensor  is 
working  correctly. 
NOTE- 
The test given  below  is an  electrical check  only. It does  not 
check the  mechanical  operation of the  valve.  If the  valve  is 
sticking, hanging up or is sluggish in operation,  substituting  a 
Inown good valve is the  best  way to  check it. 
With  engine  running, check  that idle speed  control valve  is 
buzzing. 
Turn  on 
AIC or shift  car into drive.  ldle should  remain steady 
or increase  slightly. 
If  valve  is not  buzzing, or if  idle decreases  in step above,  stop 
engine  and disconnect  harness connector from  valve. 
4 Check resistance of valve across its terminals.  Test values 
are  listed  below. 
ldle  speed  control  valve coil resistance 
Terminals 
1 and 2 20 +2% 
Terminals 2 and 3 20 +2Q 
Terminals 1 and 3 40 +4% 
NOTE- 
If you  suspect  an intermittent  fault, lightly  tap the  valve  while 
testing  resistance. 
With valve harness connector disconnected, check  for bat- 
tery voltage  at redlwhite  wire in connector with  ignition on. 
If . ~~ ~~ 
there is  no voltage, check  wiring between connector and 7 ECM relay.  See ELE Electrical  Wiring Diagrams. 
NOTE- - The idle speed  control  valve receivespositive (+) battery  volt- 
age  from  the ECM  (DME  main) relay

Fuel Injection 
- If voltage is present as described  above, check wiring be- 
tween  ECM and valve.  If no  wiring  faults are found, check 
ECM signal  to valve. 
- When  replacing  idle speed  control valve, clean and  inspect 
all sealing  areas. 
. Inspect sealing ring  in throttle body and  replace if neces- 
sary. 
Throttle position sensor (TPS), 
testing and replacing 
The  throttle position sensor  (arrow) is mounted on the  side 
of  the  primary  throttle housing  and is directly  connected  to 
the  throttle  valve shaft.  The ECM  sends a voltage signal  to 
the potentiometer-type sensor and monitors the  voltage that 
comes  back. Resistance decreases  (voltage increases) as 
the throttle  opens. 
NOTE- 
Do not  confuse  the TPS on the  primary  throttle housing  with 
the throttle  switch on the 
ASC secondary  throttle housing. 
4 Check throttle position sensor  function by disconnecting  har- 
ness  connector  and checking across  terminals. If any faults 
are  found,  replace  throttle position  sensor. 
Engine coolant temperature (ECT)  sensor, 
testing and replacing 
Throttle  position  sensor (M62 engine) 
The  ECT  sensor is located  on the front  of the  engine  in the 
coolanVthermostat flange.The ECTsensor is a dual tempera- 
ture  sensor.  One circuit provides coolant  temperature infor- 
mation  to the ECM  while the other circuit provides  coolant 
temperature information  to the instrument  cluster. 
The ECM  determines  the correct ignition timing  and 
airlfuel 
mixture required  for the engine by monitoring  an applied  volt-
