GENERAL INFORMATION
The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors
many different circuits in the fuel injection system. If
the PCM senses a problem with a monitored circuit
often enough to indicate an actual problem, it stores a
diagnostic trouble code in the PCM's memory. If the
problem is repaired or ceases to exist, the PCM cancels
the diagnostic trouble code after 51 vehicle key on/off
cycles. Certain criteria must be met before the PCM stores a
diagnostic trouble code in memory. The criteria may be
a specific range of engine RPM, engine temperature,
and/or input voltage to the PCM. The PCM might not store a diagnostic trouble code
for a monitored circuit even though a malfunction has
occurred. This may happen because one of the diagnos-
tic trouble code criteria for the circuit has not been met.
For example , assume the diagnostic trouble code
criteria for a certain sensor requires the PCM to
monitor the circuit only when the engine operates
between 750 and 2000 RPM. Suppose the sensor's
output circuit shorts to ground when engine operates
above 2400 RPM (resulting in 0 volt input to the PCM).
Because the condition happens at an engine speed
above the maximum threshold (2000 rpm), the PCM
will not store a diagnostic trouble code. There are several operating conditions for which the
PCM monitors and sets diagnostic trouble codes. Refer
to Monitored Circuits and Non-Monitored Circuits in
this section. Technicians can display stored diagnostic trouble
codes by two different methods. The first is to cycle the
ignition switch On - Off - On - Off - On within 5
seconds. Then count the number of times the malfunc-
tion indicator lamp (check engine lamp) on the instru-
ment panel flashes on and off. The number of flashes
represents the trouble code. There is a slight pause
between the flashes representing the first and second
digits of the code. Longer pauses separate individual
trouble codes. The second method of reading diagnostic trouble
codes uses the DRBII scan tool. The DRBII scan tool
connects to the data link (diagnostic) connector in the vehicle (Fig. 1). For diagnostic trouble code informa-
tion, refer to charts in this section.
MONITORED CIRCUITS
The PCM can detect certain fault conditions in the
fuel injection system. Open or Shorted Circuit - The PCM can determine
if the sensor output (input to the PCM) is within proper
range. Also, the PCM can determine open or shorted
circuits. Output Device Current Flow - The PCM senses
whether output devices are hooked up. If a problem
exists within the circuit, the PCM senses whether the
circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted high. Heated Oxygen Sensor - Once the system has
entered closed loop, the PCM determines if the oxygen
sensor is switching between rich and lean. Refer to
Modes of Operation in the General Information section
of this group for an explanation of closed loop opera-
tion.
NON-MONITORED CIRCUITS
The PCM does not monitor the following circuits,
systems and conditions that could have malfunctions
causing driveability problems. The PCM might not
store diagnostic trouble codes for these conditions.
However, problems with these systems may cause
Fig. 1 Data Link (Diagnostic) Connector
14 - 70 FUEL SYSTEMS Ä

the PCM to store diagnostic trouble codes for other
systems. For example, a fuel pressure problem will not
register a fault directly, but could cause a rich or lean
condition. This could cause the PCM to store an oxygen
sensor diagnostic trouble code. Fuel Pressure - The vacuum assisted fuel pressure
regulator controls fuel system pressure. The PCM
cannot detect a clogged fuel pump inlet filter, clogged
in-line fuel filter, stuck open regulator, or a pinched
fuel supply or return line. However, these could result
in a rich or lean condition causing the PCM to store an
oxygen sensor diagnostic trouble code. Secondary Ignition Circuit - The PCM cannot
detect an inoperative ignition coil, fouled or worn spark
plugs, ignition cross firing, or open spark plug cables. Engine Timing - The PCM cannot detect an incor-
rectly indexed timing belt, camshaft sprocket and
crankshaft sprocket. However, these could result in a
rich or lean condition causing the PCM to store an
oxygen sensor diagnostic trouble code. Cylinder Compression - The PCM cannot detect
uneven, low, or high engine cylinder compression. Exhaust System - The PCM cannot detect a
plugged, restricted or leaking exhaust system. Fuel Injector Mechanical Malfunctions - The
PCM cannot determine if a fuel injector is clogged, the
needle is sticking or if the wrong injector is installed.
However, these could result in a rich or lean condition
causing the PCM to store an oxygen sensor diagnostic
trouble code. Excessive Oil Consumption - Although the PCM
monitors exhaust stream oxygen content when the
system is in closed loop, it cannot determine excessive
oil consumption. Throttle Body Air Flow - The PCM cannot detect a
clogged or restricted air cleaner inlet or filter element. Evaporative System - The PCM cannot detect a
disconnected (open vacuum line) restricted, plugged or
loaded evaporative purge canister. Vacuum Assist - The PCM cannot detect leaks or
restrictions in the vacuum circuits of vacuum assisted
engine control system devices. However, these could
cause the PCM to store a MAP sensor diagnostic
trouble code and cause a high idle condition. PCM System Ground - The PCM cannot determine
a poor system ground. However, one or more diagnostic
trouble codes may be generated as a result of this
condition. PCM Connector Engagement - The PCM may not
be able to determine spread or damaged connector
pins. However, it might store diagnostic trouble codes
as a result of spread connector pins.HIGH AND LOW LIMITS
The PCM compares input signal voltages from each
input device with established high and low limits for the
device. If the input voltage is not within limits and other
criteria are met, the PCM stores a diagnostic trouble code
in memory. Other diagnostic trouble code criteria might
include engine RPM limits or input voltages from other
sensors or switches that must be present before verifying
a diagnostic trouble code condition.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
A diagnostic trouble code indicates the powertrain
control module (PCM) has recognized an abnormal
condition in the system. Abnormal conditions are usu-
ally shorted or open circuits.
The technician can display diagnostic trouble codes in
two ways. The first way is to cycle the ignition switch and
count the number of times the malfunction indicator lamp
(check engine lamp on the instrument panel) flashes on
and off. The DRBII scan tool provides the second method
of displaying diagnostic trouble codes. Diagnostic trouble
codes indicate the results of a circuit failure, but do not
directly identify the failed component.
For a list of Diagnostic Trouble Codes, refer to
the charts at the end of this section.
OBTAINING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
USING DRBII SCAN TOOL
WARNING: APPLY PARKING BRAKE AND/OR BLOCK
WHEELS BEFORE PERFORMING ANY TEST ON AN
OPERATING ENGINE. (1) Connect DRBII scan tool to the data link (diag-
nostic) connector located in the engine compartment,
next to the PCM (Fig. 1). (2) If possible, start the engine and cycle the A/C
switch if applicable. Shut off the engine. (3)
Turn the ignition switch on, access Read Fault
Screen. Record all the diagnostic trouble codes shown on
the DRBII scan tool. [Observe the malfunction indicator
lamp (check engine lamp) on the instrument panel. The
lamp should light for 2 seconds then go out (bulb check)].
To erase diagnostic trouble codes, use the Erase
Trouble Code data screen on the DRBII scan tool.
USING THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (1) Cycle the ignition key On - Off - On - Off - On
within 5 seconds. (2) Count the number of times the malfunction indi-
cator lamp (check engine lamp on the instrument
panel) flashes on and off. The number of flashes
represents the trouble code. There is a slight pause be-
Ä FUEL SYSTEMS 14 - 71

tween the flashes representing the first and second
digits of the code. Longer pauses separate individual
trouble codes.(3) Refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code Charts at
the end of this group.
STATE DISPLAY TEST MODE
The switch inputs to the powertrain control module
(PCM) have two recognized states; HIGH and LOW.
For this reason, the PCM cannot recognize the differ-
ence between a selected switch position versus an
open circuit, a short circuit, or a defective switch. If
the State Display screen shows the change from
HIGH to LOW or LOW to HIGH, assume the entire
switch circuit to the PCM functions properly. From
the state display screen, access either State Display
Inputs and Outputs or State Display Sensors.

CIRCUIT ACTUATION TEST MODE
The Circuit Actuation Test Mode checks for proper
operation of output circuits or devices the powertrain
control module (PCM) cannot internally recognize.
The PCM attempts to activate these outputs and al-
low an observer to verify proper operation. Most of
the tests provide an audible or visual indication of
device operation (click of relay contacts, fuel spray,
etc.). Except for intermittent conditions, if a device
functions properly during testing, assume the device,
its associated wiring, and driver circuit work cor-
rectly.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The turbocharged multi-port electronic fuel injec-
tion system combines an electronic fuel and spark
advance control system with a turbocharged intake
system (Fig. 1). The fuel injection system is con-
trolled by the powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM regulates ignition timing, air-fuel ratio,
emission control devices, cooling fan, charging sys-
tem, speed control, turbocharger wastegate and idle
speed. The PCM adapts its requirement to meet
changing operating conditions. Various sensors provide the inputs necessary for
the PCM to correctly regulate fuel flow at the fuel
injector. These include the manifold absolute pres-
sure, throttle position, oxygen sensor, coolant tem-
perature, detonation, and vehicle speed sensors. In
addition to the sensors, the air conditioning clutch
switch and various relays provide important informa-
tion and system control. The outputs include the auto
shutdown relay and fuel pump relay. All inputs to the PCM are converted into signals.
Based on these inputs the PCM adjusts air-fuel ratio,
ignition timing, turbocharger wastegate and other

Fig. 17 Oxygen Sensor Socket
Ä FUEL SYSTEMS 14 - 83

controlled outputs. The PCM adjusts the air-fuel ra-
tio by changing injector pulse width. Injector pulse
width is the time an injector is energized.
SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
The PCM tests many of its own input and output
circuits. If a fault is found in a major system, the in-
formation is stored in memory. Technicians can dis-
play fault information through the malfunction
indicator lamp (instrument panel Check Engine
lamp). Also, the technician can read fault informa-
tion by connecting the DRBII scan tool to the data
link connector. For diagnostic trouble code informa-
tion, refer to the 2.2L Turbo III Multi-Port Fuel In-
jectionÐOn-Board Diagnostics section of this group.
CCD BUS
Various modules exchange information through a
communications port called the CCD Bus. The pow-
ertrain control module (PCM) transmits vehicle load
data on the CCD Bus.
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
The powertrain control module (PCM) is a digital
computer containing a microprocessor (Fig. 2). The
PCM receives input signals from various switches
and sensors that are referred to as PCM Inputs.
Based on these inputs, the PCM adjusts various en-
gine and vehicle operations through devices that are referred to as PCM Outputs.
PCM Inputs:
² Air Conditioning Controls
² Battery Voltage
² Brake Switch
² Camshaft Position Sensor
² Crankshaft Position Sensor
² Charge Air Temperature Sensor
² Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
² Knock Sensor

² Canister Purge Solenoid
² Malfunction Indicator Lamp (Check Engine Lamp)
² Data Link Connector
² Fuel Injectors
² Ignition Coil
² Radiator Fan Relay
² Speed Control Solenoids
² Tachometer Output
² Wastegate Solenoid
Based on inputs it receives, the PCM adjusts fuel
injector pulse width, idle speed, ignition spark ad-
vance, ignition coil dwell and canister purge opera-
tion. The PCM regulates operation of the cooling fan,
A/C and speed control systems. The PCM changes
generator charge rate by adjusting the generator
field. The PCM adjusts injector pulse width (air-fuel ra-
tio) based on the following inputs.
² battery voltage
² engine coolant temperature
² exhaust gas content
² engine speed (crankshaft position sensor)
² manifold absolute pressure
² throttle position
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based on the fol-
lowing inputs.
² engine coolant temperature
² knock sensor
² engine speed (crankshaft position sensor)
² manifold absolute pressure
² throttle position
The Automatic Shut Down (ASD) and Fuel Pump
relays are mounted externally, but turned on and off
by the PCM through the same circuit. The camshaft position sensor and crankshaft posi-
tion sensor signals are sent to the PCM. If the PCM
does not receive both signals within approximately
one second of engine cranking, it deactivates the
ASD relay and fuel pump relay. When these relays
are deactivated, power is shut off to the fuel injector,
ignition coil, oxygen sensor heating element and fuel
pump. The PCM contains a voltage converter that
changes battery voltage to a regulated 8.0 volts. The
8.0 volts power the camshaft position sensor, crank- shaft position sensor and vehicle speed sensor. The
PCM also provides a 5.0 volts supply for the coolant
temperature sensor, manifold absolute pressure sen-
sor and throttle position sensor.
AIR CONDITIONING SWITCH SENSEÐPCM INPUT
When the air conditioning or defrost switch is put
in the ON position and the low pressure and high
pressure switches are closed, the PCM receives an in-
put for air conditioning. After receiving this input,
the PCM activates the A/C compressor clutch by
grounding the A/C clutch relay. The PCM also ad-
justs idle speed to a scheduled RPM to compensate
for increased engine load.
BATTERY VOLTAGEÐPCM INPUT
The PCM monitors the battery voltage input to de-
termine fuel injector pulse width and generator field
control. If battery voltage is low the PCM will in-
crease injector pulse width (period of time that the
injector is energized).
BRAKE SWITCHÐPCM INPUT
When the brake switch is activated, the PCM re-
ceives an input indicating that the brakes are being
applied. After receiving this input, the PCM vents
the speed control servo. Venting the servo turns the
speed control system off. The brake switch is
mounted on the brake pedal support bracket.
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORÐPCM INPUT
Fuel injection synchronization and cylinder identi-
fication are provided through the camshaft position
sensor (Fig. 3). The sensor generates pulses. The
pulse are the input sent to the PCM. The PCM inter-
prets the camshaft position sensor input along with
the crankshaft position sensor input to determine
crankshaft position. The PCM uses crankshaft posi-
tion sensor input to determine injector sequence and
ignition timing.
Fig. 3 Camshaft Sensor
Ä FUEL SYSTEMS 14 - 85

sition, the PCM monitors the crankshaft position and
camshaft position sensor signals to determine engine
speed and ignition timing (coil dwell). If the PCM
does not receive the crankshaft position sensor and
camshaft position sensor signals when the ignition
switch is in the Run position, it de-energizes both re-
lays. When the relays are de-energized, battery volt-
age is not supplied to the fuel injector, ignition coil,
fuel pump and oxygen sensor heating element. The ASD relay and fuel pump relay are located in
the power distribution center (Fig. 16).
IDLE AIR CONTROL MOTORÐPCM OUTPUT
The idle air control motor is mounted on the throt-
tle body (Fig. 14). The PCM operates the motor. The
PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air
control motor to compensate for engine load or ambi-
ent conditions. The throttle body has an air bypass passage that
provides air for the engine at idle (the throttle blade
is closed). The idle air control motor pintle protrudes
into the air bypass passage and regulates air flow
through it. The PCM adjusts engine idle speed by moving the
idle air control motor pintle in and out of the bypass
passage. The adjustments are based on inputs the
PCM receives. The inputs are from the throttle posi-
tion sensor, camshaft position sensor, crankshaft po-
sition sensor, coolant temperature sensor, and
various switch operations (brake and air condition-
ing). Deceleration die out is also prevented by in-
creasing airflow when the throttle is closed quickly
after a driving (speed) condition.
BAROMETRIC READ SOLENOIDÐPCM OUTPUT
The barometric pressure read solenoid is spliced
into the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
vacuum hose (Fig. 12). The barometric read solenoid
switches the pressure supply to the MAP sensor from
either barometric pressure (atmospheric) or manifold
vacuum. The PCM operates the solenoid. Atmospheric pressure is periodically supplied to
the MAP sensor to measure barometric pressure.
This occurs at closed throttle, once per throttle clo-
sure but no more often than once every 3 minutes
and within a specified RPM band. Barometric infor-
mation is used primarily for boost control and start
fuel enrichment at various altitudes.
CANISTER PURGE SOLENOIDÐPCM OUTPUT
Vacuum for the Evaporative Canister is controlled
by the Canister Purge Solenoid (Fig. 17). The sole-
noid is controlled by the PCM. The PCM operates the solenoid by switching the
ground circuit on and off. When grounded, the sole-
noid energizes and prevents vacuum from reaching
the evaporative canister. When not energized the so-
lenoid allows vacuum to flow to the canister. During warm-up and for a specified time period after
hot starts the PCM grounds the purge solenoid.
Vacuum does not operate the evaporative canister
valve. The PCM removes the ground to the solenoid when
the engine reaches a specified temperature and the
time delay interval has occurred. When the solenoid is
de-energized, vacuum flows to the canister purge
valve. Vapors are purged from the canister and flow to
the throttle body. The purge solenoid will also be energized during
certain idle conditions, in order to update the fuel
delivery calibration.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (CHECK
ENGINE)ÐPCM OUTPUT
The malfunction indicator lamp (instrument panel
Check Engine lamp) comes on each time the ignition
key is turned ON and stays on for 3 seconds as a bulb
test. The malfunction indicator lamp warns the opera-
tor that the PCM has entered a Limp-in mode. During
Limp-in-Mode, the PCM attempts to keep the system
operational. The malfunction indicator lamp signals
the need for immediate service. In limp-in mode, the
PCM compensates for the failure of certain components
that send incorrect signals. The PCM substitutes for
the incorrect signals with inputs from other sensors. Signals that can trigger the malfunction indi-
cator lamp (Check Engine Lamp).

² Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor
