module (PCM) have only two recognized states, HIGH
and LOW. For this reason, the PCM cannot recognize
the difference between a selected switch position ver-
sus an open circuit, a short circuit, or a defective
switch. If the display changes, assume the entire
switch circuit to the PCM is functional. From the state

GENERAL INFORMATION
The 3.0L engine uses a sequential Multi-Port Elec-
tronic Fuel Injection system (Fig. 1). The MPI system
is computer regulated and provides precise air/fuel
ratios for all driving conditions. The MPI system is operated by the powertrain con-
trol module (PCM). The PCM regulates ignition timing, air-fuel ratio,
emission control devices, cooling fan, charging sys-
tem, idle speed and speed control. Various sensors
provide the inputs necessary for the PCM to correctly
operate these systems. In addition to the sensors,
various switches also provide inputs to the PCM. All inputs to the PCM are converted into signals.
The PCM can adapt its programming to meet chang-
ing operating conditions. Fuel is injected into the intake port above the in-
take valve in precise metered amounts through elec-
trically operated injectors. The PCM fires the
injectors in a specific sequence. The PCM maintains
an air fuel ratio of 14.7 parts air to 1 part fuel by
constantly adjusting injector pulse width. Injector
pulse width is the length of time the injector is ener-
gized. The PCM adjusts injector pulse width by opening
and closing the ground path to the injector. Engine
RPM (speed) and manifold absolute pressure (air
density) are the primary inputs that determine injec-
tor pulse width.
SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
The powertrain control module (PCM) tests many
of its own input and output circuits. If a fault is
found in a major system, the information is stored in
memory. Technicians can display fault information
through the malfunction indicator lamp (instrument
panel Check Engine lamp) or by connecting the
DRBII scan tool. For diagnostic trouble code informa-
tion, refer to the 3.0 Multi-Port Fuel InjectionÐOn-
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 the malfunc-
tion indicator (instrument panel check engine lamp)
On/Off signal, engine RPM and 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 referred
to as PCM Outputs. PCM Inputs:
² Air Conditioning Controls
² Battery Voltage
² Brake Switch
Ä FUEL SYSTEMS 14 - 113

² Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
² Distributor Pick-up
² Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
² Oxygen Sensor
² SCI Receive
² Speed Control System Controls
² Throttle Position Sensor
² Park/Neutral Switch (automatic transaxle)
² Vehicle Speed Sensor
PCM Outputs:
² Air Conditioning Clutch Relay ²
Generator Field
² Idle Air Control Motor
² Auto Shutdown (ASD) and Fuel Pump Relays
² Canister Purge Solenoid
² Malfunction Indicator Lamp (Check Engine Lamp)
² Data Link Connector
² Electric EGR Transducer (EET)
² Fuel Injectors
² Ignition Coil
² Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid
² Radiator Fan Relay
² Speed Control Solenoids
² Tachometer Output
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 the cooling fan, air
conditioning and speed control systems. The PCM
changes generator charge rate by adjusting the gen-
erator 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 (distributor pick-up)
² manifold absolute pressure
² throttle position

14 - 114 FUEL SYSTEMS Ä

The PCM adjusts ignition timing based on the fol-
lowing inputs.
² engine coolant temperature
² engine speed (distributor pick-up)
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 distributor pick-up signal is sent to the PCM.
If the PCM does not receive a distributor signal
within approximately one second of engine cranking,
the ASD relay and fuel pump relay are deactivated.
When these relays are deactivated, power is shut off
to the fuel injector, ignition coil, oxygen sensor heat-
ing 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 distributor pick-up and vehicle
speed sensor. The PCM also provides a 5.0 volts sup-
ply for the coolant temperature sensor, manifold ab-
solute pressure sensor and throttle position sensor.
AIR CONDITIONING SWITCH SENSE (AA, AG, AJ
BODY)ÐPCM INPUT
When the air conditioning or defrost switch is in
the ON position and the low pressure and high pres-
sure switches are closed, the PCM receives an input
for air conditioning. After receiving this input, the
PCM activates the A/C compressor clutch by ground-
ing the A/C clutch relay. The PCM also adjusts idle
speed to a scheduled RPM to compensate for in-
creased engine load.
AIR CONDITIONING SWITCH SENSE (AC
BODY)ÐPCM INPUT
When the air conditioning or defrost switch is in
the ON position and the low pressure, high pressure
and ambient temperature switches are closed, the
PCM receives an input for air conditioning. After re-
ceiving this input, the PCM activates the A/C com-
pressor clutch by grounding the A/C clutch relay.
The PCM also adjusts 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.
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 main-
tains idle speed to a scheduled RPM through the idle
air control motor. The brake switch is mounted on
the brake pedal support bracket.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSORÐPCM
INPUT
The coolant temperature sensor is a variable resis-
tor with a range of -40É to 265É. The sensor is in-
stalled next to the thermostat housing. The PCM supplies 5.0 volts to the coolant temper-
ature sensor. The sensor provides an input voltage to
the PCM (Fig. 3). As coolant temperature varies, the
sensors resistance changes, resulting in a different
input voltage to the PCM. The PCM demands slightly richer air-fuel mixtures
and higher idle speeds until the engine reaches nor-
mal operating temperature. This sensor is also used for cooling fan control.
DISTRIBUTOR PICK-UPÐPCM INPUT
The distributor pick-up provides two inputs to the
PCM. From one input the PCM determines RPM (en-
gine speed). From the other input it derives crank-
shaft position. The PCM regulates injector
synchronization and adjusts ignition timing and en-
gine speed based on these inputs. The distributor pick-up contains two signal gener-
ators. The pick-up unit consists of 2 light emitting
diodes (LED), 2 photo diodes, and a separate timing
disk. The timing disk contains two sets of slots. Each
set of slots rotates between a light emitting diode
and a photo diode (Fig. 4). The inner set contains 6
large slots, one for each cylinder. The outer set con-
tains several smaller slots. The outer set of slots on the rotating disk repre-
sents 2 degrees of crankshaft rotation. Up to 1200
engine RPM, the PCM uses the input from the outer
set of slots to increase ignition timing accuracy. The outer set of slots contains a 10 degree flat spot
(Fig. 5). The flat spot tells the PCM that the next
piston at TDC will be number 6. The position of each
piston is referenced by one of the six inner slots (Fig.
5). As each slot on the timing disk passes between the
diodes, the beam from the light emitting diode is in-

Ä FUEL SYSTEMS 14 - 115

AUTO SHUTDOWN (ASD) RELAY AND FUEL PUMP
RELAYÐPCM OUTPUT
The PCM operates the auto shutdown (ASD) relay
and fuel pump relay through one ground path. The
PCM operates the relays by switching the ground
path on and off. Both relays turn on and off at the
same time. The ASD relay connects battery voltage to the fuel
injector and ignition coil. The fuel pump relay con-
nects battery voltage to the fuel pump and oxygen
sensor heating element. The PCM turns the ground path off when the igni-
tion switch is in the Off position. Both relays are off.
When the ignition switch is in the On or Crank po-
sition, the PCM monitors the distributor pick-up sig-
nal to determine engine speed and ignition timing (coil dwell). If the PCM does not receive a distributor
signal when the ignition switch is in the Run posi-
tion, it will de-energize both relays. When the relays
are de-energized, battery voltage is not supplied to
the fuel injector, ignition coil, fuel pump and oxygen
sensor heating element. On AA body vehicles, the relays are located next to
the drivers side strut tower (Fig. 13). On AC, AG and AJ body vehicles, the relays are lo-
cated in the power distribution center (Fig. 12 or Fig.
14).
IDLE AIR CONTROL MOTORÐPCM OUTPUT
The idle air control motor is mounted on the throt-
tle body and is controlled by the PCM (Fig. 10). 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, engine speed sensor (distributor pick-up
coil), coolant temperature sensor, and various switch
operations (brake, park/neutral, air conditioning).
Deceleration die out is also prevented by increasing
airflow when the throttle is closed quickly after a
driving (speed) condition.
DUTY CYCLE EVAP CANISTER PURGE
SOLENOIDÐPCM OUTPUT
The duty cycle EVAP purge solenoid regulates the
rate of vapor flow from the EVAP canister to the
throttle body. The powertrain control module oper-
ates the solenoid. During the cold start warm-up period and the hot
start time delay, the PCM does not energize the so-
lenoid. When de-energized, no vapors are purged.
The PCM de-energizes the solenoid during open loop
operation. The engine enters closed loop operation after it
reaches a specified temperature and the time delay
ends. During closed loop operation, the PCM ener-
gizes and de-energizes the solenoid approximately 5
to 10 times per second, depending upon operating
conditions. The PCM varies the vapor flow rate by
changing solenoid pulse width. Pulse width is the
amount of time the solenoid energizes. A rubber boot covers the EVAP purge solenoid.
The solenoid and bracket attach to the EVAP canis-
ter mounting studs (Fig. 15). The top of the solenoid
has the word TOP on it. The solenoid will not oper-
ate unless it is installed correctly.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (CHECK ENGINE
LAMP)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 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
² Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor
² Throttle Position Sensor
² Battery Voltage Input
² An Emission Related System (California vehicles)
² Charging system
The malfunction indicator lamp displays diagnostic
trouble codes. Cycle the ignition switch on, off, on, off,
on, within five seconds to display any diagnostic
trouble codes stored in the PCM. Refer to the 3.0L
Multi-Port Fuel InjectionÐOn-Board Diagnostics sec-
tion of this Group for Diagnostic trouble code Descrip-
tions.
DATA LINK CONNECTORÐPCM OUTPUT
The data link connector provides the technician with
the means to connect the DRBII scan tool to diagnosis
the vehicle.
TRANSAXLE CONTROL MODULEÐPCM OUTPUT
The PCM supplies the following information to the
electronic automatic transaxle control module through
the CCD Bus:
² battery temperature ²
brake switch input
² engine coolant temperature
² manifold absolute pressure (MAP)
² speed control information
FUEL INJECTORSÐPCM OUTPUT
The fuel injectors are electrical solenoids (Fig. 16).
The injector contains a pintle that closes off an ori-
fice at the nozzle end. When electric current is sup-
plied to the injector, the armature and pintle move a
short distance against a spring, allowing fuel to flow
out the orifice. Because the fuel is under high pres-
sure, a fine spray is developed in the shape of a hol-
low cone. The spraying action atomizes the fuel,
adding it to the air entering the combustion cham-
ber.
The injectors are positioned in the intake manifold
with the nozzle ends directly above the intake valve
port (Fig. 16).
The fuel injectors are operated by the PCM. They
are energized in a sequential order during all engine
operating conditions except start up. The PCM ini-

The engine start-up (crank), engine warm-up, and
wide open throttle modes are OPEN LOOP modes. The
acceleration, deceleration, and cruise modes, with the
engine at operating temperature are CLOSED
LOOP modes (under most operating conditions).
IGNITION SWITCH ON (ZERO RPM) MODE
When the multi-port fuel injection system is acti-
vated by the ignition switch, the following actions
occur:
² The PCM determines atmospheric air pressure from
the MAP sensor input to determine basic fuel strategy.
² The PCM monitors the coolant temperature sensor
and throttle position sensor input. The PCM modifies
fuel strategy based on these inputs. When the key is in the ON position and the engine is
not running (zero rpm), the auto shutdown (ASD) relay
and fuel pump relay are not energized. Therefore
battery voltage is not supplied to the fuel pump,
ignition coil, fuel injectors or oxygen sensor heating
element.
ENGINE START-UP MODE
This is an OPEN LOOP mode. The following actions
occur when the starter motor is engaged. If the PCM receives a distributor signal, it energizes
the auto shutdown (ASD) relay and fuel pump relay.
These relays supply battery voltage to the fuel pump,
fuel injectors, ignition coil, and oxygen sensor heating
element. If the PCM does not receive a distributor
input, the ASD relay and fuel pump relay will be
de-energized after approximately one second. The PCM energizes all six injectors until it deter-
mines crankshaft position from the distributor pick-up
signals. The PCM determines crankshaft position
within 2 engine revolutions. After determining crankshaft position, the PCM be-
gins energizing the injectors in sequence. The PCM
adjusts injector pulse width and controls injector syn-
chronization by turning the individual ground paths to
the injectors On and Off. When the engine idles within 664 RPM of its target
RPM, the PCM compares current MAP sensor value
with the atmospheric pressure value received during
the Ignition Switch On (zero RPM) mode. If the PCM
does not detect a minimum difference between the two
values, it sets a MAP fault into memory. Once the ASD and fuel pump relays have been
energized, the PCM:
² determines injector pulse width based on coolant
temperature, manifold absolute pressure (MAP) and
the number of engine revolutions since cranking was
initiated. ²
monitors the coolant temperature sensor, distribu-
tor pick-up, MAP sensor, and throttle position sensor
to determine correct ignition timing.
ENGINE WARM-UP MODE
This is a OPEN LOOP mode. The following inputs
are received by the PCM:
² engine coolant temperature
² crankshaft position (distributor pick-up)
² manifold absolute pressure (MAP)
² engine speed (distributor pick-up)
² throttle position
² A/C switch
² battery voltage
The PCM adjusts injector pulse width and controls
injector synchronization by turning the individual
ground paths to the injectors On and Off. The PCM adjusts engine idle speed by regulating
the idle air control motor and ignition timing.
CRUISE OR IDLE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature this
is a CLOSED LOOP mode. During cruising speed the
following inputs are received by the PCM:
² engine coolant temperature
² crankshaft position (distributor pick-up)
² manifold absolute pressure
² engine speed (distributor pick-up)
² throttle position
² exhaust gas oxygen content
² A/C control positions
² battery voltage
The PCM adjusts injector pulse width and controls
injector synchronization by turning the individual
ground paths to the injectors On and Off. The PCM adjusts engine idle speed and ignition
timing. The PCM controls the air/fuel ratio according
to the oxygen content in the exhaust gas.
ACCELERATION MODE This is a CLOSED LOOP mode. The PCM recog-
nizes an abrupt increase in throttle position or MAP
pressure as a demand for increased engine output
and vehicle acceleration. The PCM increases injector
pulse width in response to increased fuel demand.
DECELERATION MODE This is a CLOSED LOOP mode. During decelera-
tion the following inputs are received by the PCM:
² engine coolant temperature
² crankshaft position (distributor pick-up)
² manifold absolute pressure
² engine speed (distributor pick-up)
² throttle position
² exhaust gas oxygen content
² A/C control positions
² battery voltage
14 - 122 FUEL SYSTEMS Ä

The PCM may receive a closed throttle input from
the throttle position sensor (TPS) when it senses an
abrupt decrease in manifold pressure. This indicates
a hard deceleration. The PCM may reduce injector
firing to once per engine revolution. This helps main-
tain better control of the air-fuel mixture. During a deceleration condition, the PCM grounds
the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) solenoid. When
the PCM grounds the solenoid, preventing EGR.
WIDE OPEN THROTTLE MODE This is an OPEN LOOP mode. During wide-open-
throttle operation, the following inputs are received
by the PCM:
² engine coolant temperature
² crankshaft position (distributor pick-up)
² manifold absolute pressure
² engine speed (distributor pick-up)
² throttle position
When the PCM senses wide open throttle condition
through the throttle position sensor (TPS) it will:
² Provide a ground for the electrical EGR transducer
(EET) solenoid. When the PCM grounds the solenoid,
the EGR system stops operating.
² De-energize the air conditioning relay. This dis-
ables the air conditioning system. The exhaust gas oxygen content input is not ac-
cepted by the PCM during wide open throttle opera- tion. The PCM will adjust injector pulse width to
supply a predetermined amount of additional fuel.
IGNITION SWITCH OFF MODE
When the ignition switch is turned to the OFF po-
sition, the following occurs:
² All outputs are turned off.
² No inputs are monitored.
² The PCM shuts down.
THROTTLE BODY
The throttle body assembly (Fig. 19) is located at
the left end of the air intake plenum. The throttle
body houses the throttle position sensor and the idle
air control motor. Air flow through the throttle body
is controlled by a cable operated throttle blade lo-
cated in the base of the throttle body.
FUEL SUPPLY CIRCUIT
Fuel is supplied to the fuel rail by an electric pump
mounted in the fuel tank. The pump inlet is fitted
with a strainer to prevent water and other contami-
nants from entering the fuel supply circuit. Fuel pressure is controlled to a preset level above
intake manifold pressure by a pressure regulator.
The pressure regulator is mounted on the fuel rail.
The regulator uses intake manifold pressure as a ref-
erence.
