FUEL INJECTORÐPCM OUTPUT
The Fuel Injector is an electric solenoid operated
by the PCM (Fig. 15).
Based on sensor inputs, the PCM determines when
and how long the fuel injector should operate. The
amount of time the injector fires is referred to as in-
jector pulse width. The auto shutdown (ASD) relay
supplies battery voltage to the injector. The PCM
supplies the ground path. By switching the ground
path on and off, the PCM adjusts injector pulse
width. When the PCM supplies a ground path, a
spring loaded needle or armature lifts from its seat.
Fuel flows through the orifice and deflects off the
sharp edge of the injector nozzle. The resulting fuel
sprays forms a 45É cone shaped pattern before enter-
ing the air stream in the throttle body. Fuel is supplied to the injector constantly at regu-
lated 270 Kpa (39 psi). Unused fuel returns to the
fuel tank.
GENERATOR FIELDÐPCM OUTPUT
The PCM regulates the charging system voltage
within a range of 12.9 to 15.0 volts. Refer to Group
8A for charging system information.
IGNITION COILÐPCM OUTPUT
The PCM provides a ground contact (circuit) for en-
ergizing the ignition coil. When the PCM breaks the
contact, the energy in the coil primary transfers to
the secondary causing the spark. The PCM will de-
energize the ASD relay if it does not receive an input
from the distributor pick-up. Refer to Auto Shutdown
(ASD) Relay/Fuel Pump RelayÐPCM Output in this
section for relay operation. The ignition coil is mounted on the hot box next to
the thermostat housing (Fig. 16).
PART THROTTLE UNLOCK SOLENOIDÐPCM
OUTPUT
Three-speed automatic transaxles use a part throt-
tle unlock solenoid. The PCM controls the lock-up of
the torque convertor through the part throttle unlock
solenoid. The transaxle is locked up only in direct
drive mode. Refer to Group 21 for transaxle informa-
tion.
RADIATOR FAN RELAYÐPCM OUTPUT
The radiator fan is energized by the PCM through
the radiator fan relay. The PCM grounds the radia-
tor fan relay when engine coolant reaches a predeter-
mined temperature. For more information, refer to
Group 7, Cooling Systems. On AC, AG and AJ models, the radiator fan relay
is located in the power distribution center. Refer to
the Wiring and Component Identification section of
Group 8W. On AA and AP models, the radiator fan relay is
mounted on the drivers side fender well, next to the
strut tower (Fig. 10).
SPEED CONTROL SOLENOIDSÐPCM OUTPUT
The speed control vacuum and vent solenoids are
operated by the PCM. When the PCM supplies a
ground to the vacuum and vent solenoids, the speed
control system opens the throttle blade. When the
PCM supplies a ground only to the vent solenoid, the
throttle blade holds position. When the PCM removes
the ground from both the vacuum and vent solenoids,
the throttle blade closes. The PCM balances the two
solenoids to maintain the set speed. Refer to Group
8H for speed control information.

WARNING: APPLY PARKING BRAKE AND/OR
BLOCK WHEELS BEFORE PERFORMING A TEST
WITH THE ENGINE OPERATING.
OBTAINING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
(1) Connect DRBII scan tool to the data link con-
nector located in the engine compartment near the
powertrain control module (PCM). (2) Start the engine if possible, cycle the transaxle
selector and the A/Cswitch if applicable. Shut off
the engine. (3) Turn the ignition switch on, access Read Fault
Screen. Record all the fault messages shown on the
DRBII scan tool. Observe the malfunction indicator
lamp (check engine lamp on the instrument panel).
The lamp should light for 3 seconds then go out (bulb
check).
STATE DISPLAY TEST MODE
The switch inputs used by the powertrain control
module (PCM) have only two recognized states,
HIGH and LOW. For this reason, the PCM cannot
recognize the difference between a selected switch po-
sition versus an open circuit, a short circuit, or a de-
fective switch. If the change is displayed, it can be
assumed that the entire switch circuit to the PCM is
functional. From the state display screen access ei-
ther State Display Inputs and Outputs or State Dis-
play Sensors.

GENERAL INFORMATION
In this model year Chrysler began producing AA-
Body vehicles designed to operate on a mixture of
gasoline and methanol. These automobiles are re-
ferred to as Flexible Fuel vehicles. Fuel system com-
ponents designed for use in flexible fuel vehicles are
referred to as Methanol Compatible. Flexible fuel vehicles can operate on a mixture of
up to 85 percent methanol, 15 percent unleaded gas-
oline. These vehicles also operate on mixtures con-
taining a lower percentage of methanol or just pure
unleaded gasoline.
IDENTIFYING FLEXIBLE FUEL COMPONENTS
Flexible Fuel vehicles have unique methanol com-
patible fuel system components. Chrysler identifies
methanol compatible components that could be phys-
ically interchanged with gasoline only parts by color-
ing them green or applying a green label or tag to
them. Even though they may appear physically iden- tical, components for gasoline only AA-body vehicles
must not be used on flexible fuel vehicles.

have the following unique methanol compatible com-
ponents.

The second method of reading diagnostic trouble
codes uses the DRBII scan tool. For diagnostic trou-
ble code information, refer to the On-Board Diagnos-
tics section in this group.
CCD BUS
Various modules exchange information through a
communications port called the CCD Bus. The pow-
ertrain control module 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 referred to as Powertrain Control Mod-
ule Inputs. Based on these inputs, the PCM adjusts
various engine and vehicle operations through de-
vices referred to as Powertrain Control Module Out-
puts.
PCM Inputs:
² Air Conditioning Controls
² Battery Voltage
² Brake Switch
² Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
² Camshaft Position Sensor (Distributor Pick-up)
² Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
² Methanol Concentration 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 Auto Shutdown (ASD) Relay
² Duty Cycle EVAP Canister Purge Solenoid
² Data Link (Diagnostic) Connector ²
Fuel Injectors
² Idle Air Control Motor
² Ignition Coil
² Malfunction Indicator (Check Engine) Lamp
² Radiator Fan Relay
² Speed Control Solenoids
² Tachometer Output
² Torque Converter Clutch 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 radiator
fan, A/C and speed control systems. Also, 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 Coolant temperature
² Exhaust gas content
² Engine speed
² Manifold absolute pressure
² Methanol percentage of fuel
² Throttle position
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based on the fol-
lowing inputs.
² Coolant temperature
² Engine speed
² Manifold absolute pressure
² Methanol percentage of fuel
² Throttle position
The auto shutdown (ASD) and fuel pump relays are
mounted externally. The PCM turns both relays on
and off through the same circuit. The camshaft position sensor (distributor pick-up)
sends a signal to the PCM. If the PCM does not re-
ceive a camshaft position sensor signal within ap-
proximately one second of engine cranking, it
deactivates the ASD and fuel pump relays. When
these relays deactivate, they shut off power to the
fuel injectors, fuel pump, ignition coil, methanol con-
centration sensor and oxygen sensor heater element. The PCM contains a voltage converter that
changes battery voltage to a regulated 8.0 volts to
power the distributor pick-up methanol concentration
sensor and vehicle speed sensor. The PCM also pro-
vides a 5.0 volts supply for the engine coolant tem-
perature sensor, manifold absolute pressure sensor
and throttle position sensor.
AIR CONDITIONING SWITCH SENSEÐPCM INPUT
When the operator puts the A/C or defrost switch
in the ON position and the low pressure and high
pressure switches close, the PCM receives an input.
The input indicates the operator selected air condi-
tioning. After receiving this input, the PCM acti-
vates the A/C compressor clutch by grounding the

Ä FUEL SYSTEMS 14 - 57

desired MAP value. Under idle conditions, the PCM
adjusts the idle air control motor to maintain a de-
sired engine speed.
AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) CLUTCH RELAYÐPCM
OUTPUT
The PCM operates the air conditioning clutch relay
ground circuit. The radiator fan relay supplies bat-
tery power to the solenoid side of the A/C clutch re-
lay. The air conditioning clutch relay will not
energize unless the radiator fan relay energizes. The
PCM energizes the radiator fan relay when the air
conditioning or defrost switch is put in the ON posi-
tion and the low pressure and high pressure switches
close. With the engine operating, the PCM cycles the air
conditioning clutch on and off when the A/C switch
closes with the blower motor switch in the on posi-
tion. When the PCM senses low idle speeds or wide
open throttle through the throttle position sensor, it
de-energizes the A/C clutch relay. The relay contacts
open, preventing air conditioning clutch engagement. The A/C clutch relay is mounted to the inner
fender panel, next to the drivers side strut tower
(Fig. 11).
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 camshaft position sen-
sor (distributor pick-up) signal to determine engine
speed and ignition timing (coil dwell). If the PCM
does not receive a camshaft position sensor signal
when the ignition switch is in the Run position, it
de-energizes both relays. Battery voltage is not sup-
plied to the fuel injector, ignition coil, fuel pump and
oxygen sensor heating element. The ASD relay and fuel pump relay are mounted
on the drivers side fender well, next to the strut
tower (Fig. 11).
DUTY CYCLE EVAP 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-

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 and by using stored default values.Signals that can trigger the Malfunction Indi-
cator (Check Engine) Lamp.
² An emission system component
² Battery Voltage Input
² Charging system
² Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
² Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor
² Methanol Concentration Sensor
² Throttle Position Sensor
The malfunction indicator lamp can also display
diagnostic trouble codes. Cycle the ignition switch on,
off, on, off, on, within five seconds and the PCM
displays any diagnostic trouble codes stored in
memory. Refer to the 2.5L Flexible Fuel Multi-Port
Fuel InjectionÐOn Board Diagnostics section in this
group for diagnostic trouble code descriptions.
RADIATOR FAN RELAYÐPCM OUTPUT
The radiator fan is energized by the PCM through
the radiator fan relay. The PCM grounds the radiator
fan relay when engine coolant reaches a predetermined
temperature. For more information, refer to Group 7,
Cooling Systems. The radiator fan relay is mounted on the drivers side
fender well, next to the strut tower (Fig. 11).
SPEED CONTROL SOLENOIDSÐPCM OUTPUT
The speed control vacuum and vent solenoids are
operated by the PCM. When the PCM supplies a
ground to the vacuum and vent solenoids, the speed
control system opens the throttle blade. When the PCM
supplies a ground only to the vent solenoid, the throttle
blade holds position. When the PCM removes the
ground from both the vacuum and vent solenoids, the
throttle blade closes. The PCM balances the two sole-
noids to maintain the set speed. Refer to Group 8H for
speed control information.
TACHOMETERÐPCM OUTPUT
The PCM supplies engine RPM to the instrument
panel tachometer. Refer to Group 8 for tachometer
information.
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOIDÐPCM
OUTPUT
Three-speed automatic transaxles use a torque con-
verter clutch solenoid. The PCM controls the lock-up of
the torque convertor through the solenoid. The tran-
saxle is locked up only in direct drive mode. Refer to
Group 21 for transaxle information.
MODES OF OPERATION
As input signals to the PCM change, the PCM
adjusts its response to the output devices. For example, the PCM must calculate a different injector pulse
width and ignition timing for idle than it does for wide
open throttle (WOT). There are several different modes
of operation that determine how the PCM responds to
the various input signals. There are two different areas of operation, Open
Loop and Closed Loop. During Open Loop modes, the PCM receives input
signals and responds according to preset PCM pro-
gramming. Input from the oxygen (O
2) sensor is not
monitored during Open Loop modes. During CLOSED LOOP modes, the PCM does moni-
tor the oxygen (O
2) sensor input. The input indicates if
the calculated injector pulse width results in the ideal
air-fuel ratio for the current percentage of methanol in
the fuel. By monitoring the exhaust oxygen content
through the O
2sensor, the PCM can fine tune the
injector pulse width to achieve optimum fuel economy
combined with low emissions. The 2.5L flexible fuel multi-port fuel injection system
has the following modes of operation:
² Ignition switch ON - Zero RPM
² Engine start-up
² Engine warm-up
² Cruise (Idle)
² Acceleration
² Deceleration
² Wide Open Throttle
² Ignition switch OFF
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 ignition switch cycles and past the On
position, the fuel injection system activates and the
following actions occur:
² For two seconds at key ON (and during cranking),
the methanol concentration sensor calibrates the PCM.
During the calibration period the sensor sends 4.45
volts to the PCM as a correction factor. After the
calibration period, the methanol concentration sensor
output represents the methanol percentage in the fuel.
² The PCM calculates basic fuel strategy by determin-
ing atmospheric air pressure from the MAP sensor
input.
² The PCM monitors the coolant temperature sensor
and throttle position sensor input. The PCM modifies
fuel strategy based on this input. When the key is in the ON position and the engine is
not running, the auto shutdown (ASD) relay and fuel
pump relay are not energized. Therefore battery volt-
age is not supplied to the fuel pump, ignition coil, fuel
injector or oxygen sensor heating element.
