sensor CHRYSLER VOYAGER 2004 Service Manual

The PCM controls engine idle speed by adjusting
the position of the idle air control valve. The adjust-
ments are based on inputs the PCM receives. The
inputs are from the throttle position sensor, crank-
shaft position sensor, coolant temperature sensor,
MAP sensor, vehicle speed sensor and various switch
operations (brake, park/neutral, air conditioning).
When engine rpm is above idle speed, the IAC is
used for the following functions:
²Off-idle dashpot
²Deceleration air flow control²A/C compressor load control (also opens the pas-
sage slightly before the compressor is engaged so
that the engine rpm does not dip down when the
compressor engages)
Target Idle
Target idle is determined by the following inputs:
²Gear position
²ECT Sensor
²Battery voltage
²Ambient/Battery Temperature Sensor
²VSS
²TPS
²MAP Sensor

INLET AIR TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The IAT Sensor is a Negative Temperature Coeffi-
cient (NTC) Sensor that provides information to the
PCM regarding the temperature of the air entering
the intake manifold (Fig. 19).
MAP SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The MAP sensor (Fig. 20) or (Fig. 21) mounts to
the intake manifold. The sensor is connects electri-
cally to the PCM.
OPERATION
The MAP serves as a PCM input, using a silicon
based sensing unit, to provide data on the manifold
vacuum that draws the air/fuel mixture into the com-
bustion chamber. The PCM requires this information
to determine injector pulse width and spark advance.
When MAP equals Barometric pressure, the pulse
width will be at maximum.
Also like the cam and crank sensors, a 5 volt ref-
erence is supplied from the PCM and returns a volt-age signal to the PCM that reflects manifold
pressure. The zero pressure reading is 0.5V and full
scale is 4.5V. For a pressure swing of0Ð15psithe
voltage changes 4.0V. The sensor is supplied a regu-
lated 4.8 to 5.1 volts to operate the sensor. Like the
cam and crank sensors ground is provided through
the sensor return circuit.
The MAP sensor input is the number one contrib-
utor to pulse width. The most important function of
the MAP sensor is to determine barometric pressure.
The PCM needs to know if the vehicle is at sea level
or is it in Denver at 5000 feet above sea level,
because the air density changes with altitude. It will
also help to correct for varying weather conditions. If
a hurricane was coming through the pressure would
be very, very low or there could be a real fair

weather, high pressure area. This is important
because as air pressure changes the barometric pres-
sure changes. Barometric pressure and altitude have
a direct inverse correlation, as altitude goes up baro-
metric goes down. The first thing that happens as
the key is rolled on, before reaching the crank posi-
tion, the PCM powers up, comes around and looks at
the MAP voltage, and based upon the voltage it sees,
it knows the current barometric pressure relative to
altitude. Once the engine starts, the PCM looks at
the voltage again, continuously every 12 milliseconds,
and compares the current voltage to what it was at
key on. The difference between current and what it
was at key on is manifold vacuum.
During key On (engine not running) the sensor
reads (updates) barometric pressure. A normal range
can be obtained by monitoring known good sensor in
you work area.
As the altitude increases the air becomes thinner
(less oxygen). If a vehicle is started and driven to a
very different altitude than where it was at key On
the barometric pressure needs to be updated. Any
time the PCM sees Wide Open throttle, based upon
TPS angle and RPM it will update barometric pres-
sure in the MAP memory cell. With periodic updates,
the PCM can make its calculations more effectively.
The PCM uses the MAP sensor to aid in calculat-
ing the following:
²Barometric pressure
²Engine load
²Manifold pressure
²Injector pulse-width
²Spark-advance programs
²Shift-point strategies (F4AC1 transmissions
only, via the PCI bus)
²Idle speed²Decel fuel shutoff
The PCM recognizes a decrease in manifold pres-
sure by monitoring a decrease in voltage from the
reading stored in the barometric pressure memory
cell. The MAP sensor is a linear sensor; as pressure
changes, voltage changes proportionately. The range
of voltage output from the sensor is usually between
4.6 volts at sea level to as low as 0.3 volts at 26 in. of
Hg. Barometric pressure is the pressure exerted by
the atmosphere upon an object. At sea level on a
standard day, no storm, barometric pressure is 29.92
in Hg. For every 100 feet of altitude barometric pres-
sure drops .10 in. Hg. If a storm goes through it can
either add, high pressure, or decrease, low pressure,
from what should be present for that altitude. You
should make a habit of knowing what the average
pressure and corresponding barometric pressure is
for your area.REMOVAL

O2 SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The upstream oxygen sensor threads into the out-
let flange of the exhaust manifold (Fig. 22) or (Fig.
23).
The downstream heated oxygen sensor threads into
the outlet pipe at the rear of the catalytic convertor
(Fig. 24).
OPERATION
A seperate upstream and downstream grounds are
used on the NGC vehicles (4 Cyl.).
As vehicles accumulate mileage, the catalytic con-
vertor deteriorates. The deterioration results in aless efficient catalyst. To monitor catalytic convertor
deterioration, the fuel injection system uses two
heated oxygen sensors. One sensor upstream of the
catalytic convertor, one downstream of the convertor.
The PCM compares the reading from the sensors to
calculate the catalytic convertor oxygen storage
capacity and converter efficiency. Also, the PCM uses
the upstream heated oxygen sensor input when
adjusting injector pulse width.
When the catalytic converter efficiency drops below
emission standards, the PCM stores a diagnostic
trouble code and illuminates the malfunction indica-
tor lamp (MIL).
The O2 sensors produce a constant 2.5 volts on
NGC vehicles, depending upon the oxygen content of
the exhaust gas. When a large amount of oxygen is
present (caused by a lean air/fuel mixture, can be
caused by misfire and exhaust leaks), the sensors
produces a low voltage. When there is a lesser
amount of oxygen present (caused by a rich air/fuel
mixture, can be caused by internal engine problems)
it produces a higher voltage. By monitoring the oxy-
gen content and converting it to electrical voltage,
the sensors act as a rich-lean switch.
The oxygen sensors are equipped with a heating
element that keeps the sensors at proper operating
temperature during all operating modes. Maintaining
correct sensor temperature at all times allows the
system to enter into closed loop operation sooner.
Also, it allows the system to remain in closed loop
operation during periods of extended idle.
In Closed Loop operation the PCM monitors the O2
sensors input (along with other inputs) and adjusts
the injector pulse width accordingly. During Open
Loop operation the PCM ignores the O2 sensor input.

The PCM adjusts injector pulse width based on pre-
programmed (fixed) values and inputs from other
sensors.
NGC Controller - Has a common ground for the
heater in the O2S. 12 volts is supplied to the heater
in the O2S by the NGC controller. Both the upstream
and downstream O2 sensors for NGC are pulse width
modulation (PWM).NOTE: When replacing an O2
Sensor, the PCM RAM memory must be cleared,
either by disconnecting the PCM C-1 connector or
momentarily disconnecting the Battery negative ter-
minal. The NGC learns the characteristics of each O2
heater element and these old values should be
cleared when installing a new O2 sensor. The cus-
tomer may experience driveability issues if this is not
performed.
UPSTREAM OXYGEN SENSOR
The input from the upstream heated oxygen sensor
tells the PCM the oxygen content of the exhaust gas.
Based on this input, the PCM fine tunes the air-fuel
ratio by adjusting injector pulse width.
The sensor input switches from 2.5 to 3.5 volt,
depending upon the oxygen content of the exhaust
gas in the exhaust manifold. When a large amount of
oxygen is present (caused by a lean air-fuel mixture),
the sensor produces voltage as low as 2.5 volt. When
there is a lesser amount of oxygen present (rich air-
fuel mixture) the sensor produces a voltage as high
as 3.5 volt. By monitoring the oxygen content and
converting it to electrical voltage, the sensor acts as
a rich-lean switch.
The heating element in the sensor provides heat to
the sensor ceramic element. Heating the sensor
allows the system to enter into closed loop operation
sooner. Also, it allows the system to remain in closed
loop operation during periods of extended idle.
In Closed Loop, the PCM adjusts injector pulse
width based on the upstream heated oxygen sensor
input along with other inputs. In Open Loop, the
PCM adjusts injector pulse width based on prepro-
grammed (fixed) values and inputs from other sen-
sors.
DOWNSTREAM OXYGEN SENSOR
The downstream heated oxygen sensor input is
used to detect catalytic convertor deterioration. As
the convertor deteriorates, the input from the down-
stream sensor begins to match the upstream sensor
input except for a slight time delay. By comparing
the downstream heated oxygen sensor input to the
input from the upstream sensor, the PCM calculates
catalytic convertor efficiency. Also used to establish
the upstream O2 goal voltage (switching point).

THROTTLE BODY
DESCRIPTION
The throttle body is located on the intake manifold
(Fig. 28) or (Fig. 29). Fuel does not enter the intake
manifold through the throttle body. Fuel is sprayed
into the manifold by the fuel injectors.
OPERATION
Filtered air from the air cleaner enters the intake
manifold through the throttle body. The throttle bodycontains an air control passage controlled by an Idle
Air Control (IAC) motor. The air control passage is
used to supply air for idle conditions. A throttle valve
(plate) is used to supply air for above idle conditions.
Certain sensors are attached to the throttle body.
The accelerator pedal cable, speed control cable are
connected to the throttle body cam.
A (factory adjusted) set screw is used to mechani-
cally limit the position of the throttle body throttle
plate.Never attempt to adjust the engine idle
speed using this screw.All idle speed functions are
controlled by the PCM.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The throttle position sensor mounts to the side of
the throttle body (Fig. 30) or (Fig. 31).The sensor
connects to the throttle blade shaft. The TPS is a
variable resistor that provides the Powertrain Con-
trol Module (PCM) with an input signal (voltage).
OPERATION
The signal represents throttle blade position. As
the position of the throttle blade changes, the resis-
tance of the TPS changes.
The PCM supplies approximately 5 volts to the
TPS. The TPS output voltage (input signal to the
powertrain control module) represents throttle blade
position. The TPS output voltage to the PCM varies
from approximately 0.6 volt at minimum throttle
opening (idle) to a maximum of 4.5 volts at wide open
throttle.
Along with inputs from other sensors, the PCM
uses the TPS input to determine current engine oper-
ating conditions. The PCM also adjusts fuel injector
pulse width and ignition timing based on these
inputs.
