OPERATION - SENSOR RETURN - PCM INPUT
The sensor return circuit provides a low electrical
noise ground reference for all of the systems sensors.
The sensor return circuit connects to internal ground
circuits within the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
OPERATION - SCI RECEIVE - PCM INPUT
SCI Receive is the serial data communication
receive circuit for the DRB scan tool. The Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) receives data from the DRB
through the SCI Receive circuit.
OPERATION - IGNITION SENSE - PCM INPUT
The ignition sense input informs the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) that the ignition switch is in
the crank or run position.
OPERATION - PCM GROUND
Ground is provided through multiple pins of the
PCM connector. Depending on the vehicle there may
be as many as three different ground pins. There are
power grounds and sensor grounds.
The power grounds are used to control the ground
side of any relay, solenoid, ignition coil or injector.
The signal ground is used for any input that uses
sensor return for ground, and the ground side of any
internal processing component.
The SBEC III case is shielded to prevent RFI and
EMI. The PCM case is grounded and must be firmly
attached to a good, clean body ground.
Internally all grounds are connected together, how-
ever there is noise suppression on the sensor ground.
For EMI and RFI protection the case is also
grounded separately from the ground pins.
OPERATION
OPERATION - 8-VOLT SUPPLY - PCM OUTPUT
The PCM supplies 8 volts to the crankshaft posi-
tion sensor, camshaft position sensor.
OPERATION - 5 VOLT SUPPLY - PCM OUTPUT
The PCM supplies 5 volts to the following sensors:
²A/C pressure transducer
²Engine coolant temperature sensor
²Manifold absolute pressure sensor
²Throttle position sensor
²Linear EGR solenoid
²Battery temperature
²Knock sensor

these sensor inputs to adjust fuel quantity and fuel
injector timing.
Limp-In Mode
If there is a fault detected with the accelerator
pedal position sensor, the ECM will set the engine
speed at 1100 RPM.
Overspeed Detection Mode
If the ECM detects engine RPM that exceeds 5200
RPM, the ECM will set a DTC in memory and illu-
minate the MIL until the DTC is cleared.
After-Run Mode
The ECM transfers RAM information to ROM and
performs an Input/Output state check.
MONITORED CIRCUITS
The ECM is able to monitor and identify most
driveability related trouble conditions. Some circuits
are directly monitored through ECM feedback cir-
cuitry. In addition, the ECM monitors the voltage
state of some circuits and compares those states with
expected values. Other systems are monitored indi-
rectly when the ECM conducts a rationality test to
identify problems. Although most subsytems of the
engine control module are either directly or indirectly
monitored, there may be occasions when diagnostic
trouble codes are not immediately identified. For a
trouble code to set, a specific set of conditions must
occur and unless these conditions occur, a DTC will
not set.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Each diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is diagnosed by
following a specific procedure. The diagnostic test
procedure contains step-by-step instruction for deter-
mining the cause of the DTC as well as no trouble
code problems. Refer to the appropriate Diesel Pow-
ertrain Diagnostic Manual for more information.
HARD CODE
A DTC that comes back within one cycle of the
ignition key is a hard code. This means that the
problem is current every time the ECM/SKIM checks
that circuit or function. Procedures in this manual
verify if the DTC is a hard code at the beginning of
each test. When the fault is not a hard code, an
intermittent test must be performed. NOTE: If the
DRBIIItdisplays faults for multiple components (i.e.
ECT, VSS, IAT sensors) identify and check the
shared circuits for possible problems before continu-
ing (i.e. sensor grounds or 5-volt supply circuits).
Refer to the appropriate schematic to identify shared
circuits. Refer to the appropriate Diesel Powertrain
Diagnostic Manual for more information.INTERMITTENT CODE
A DTC that is not current every time the ECM/
SKIM checks the circuit or function is an intermit-
tent code. Most intermittent DTCs are caused by
wiring or connector problems. Problems that come
and go like this are the most difficult to diagnose;
they must be looked for under specific conditions that
cause them.NOTE: Electromagnetic (radio)
interference can cause an intermittent system
malfunction.This interference can interrupt com-
munication between the ignition key transponder and
the SKIM. The following checks may assist you in
identifying a possible intermittent problem:
²Visually inspect the related wire harness connec-
tors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded
terminals.
²Visually inspect the related wire harness. Look
for chafed, pierced or partially broken wire.
²Refer to hotlines or technical service bulletins
that may apply. Refer to the appropriate Diesel Pow-
ertrain Diagnostic Manual for more information.
ECM DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before replacing the ECM for
a failed driver, control circuit or ground circuit, be
sure to check the related component/circuit integrity
for failures not detected due to a double fault in the
circuit. Most ECM driver/control circuit failures are
caused by internal failures to components (i.e. relays
and solenoids) and shorted circuits (i.e. sensor pull-
ups, drivers and ground circuits). These faults are
difficult to detect when a double fault has occurred
and only one DTC has set. If the DRBIIItdisplays
faults for multiple components (i.e.VSS, ECT, Batt
Temp, etc.) identify and check the shared circuits for
possible problems before continuing (i.e. sensor
grounds or 5-volt supply circuits). Refer to the appro-
priate wiring diagrams to identify shared circuits.
Refer to the appropriate Diesel Powertrain Diagnos-
tic Manual for more information.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - PCM/ECM/SKIM
PROGRAMMING - DIESEL
NOTE: Before replacing the PCM/ECM for a failed
driver, control circuit or ground circuit, be sure to
check the related component/circuit integrity for
failures not detected due to a double fault in the cir-
cuit. Most PCM/ECM driver/control circuit failures
are caused by internal component failures (i.e. relay
and solenoids) and shorted circuits (i.e. pull-ups,
drivers and switched circuits). These failures are
difficult to detect when a double fault has occurred
and only one DTC has set.

tery terminal clamp to allow connection to the larger
battery positive terminal post. The battery negative
cable wires have a black insulating jacket and a
smaller female battery terminal clamp.
The battery cables cannot be repaired and, if dam-
aged or faulty they must be replaced. Both the bat-
tery positive and negative cables are available for
service replacement only as a unit with the battery
wire harness, which may include portions of the wir-
ing circuits for the generator and other components
on some models. Refer toWiring Diagramsin the
index of this service manual for the location of more
information on the various wiring circuits included in
the battery wire harness for the vehicle being ser-
viced.
OPERATION
The battery cables connect the battery terminal
posts to the vehicle electrical system. These cables
also provide a path back to the battery for electricalcurrent generated by the charging system for restor-
ing the voltage potential of the battery. The female
battery terminal clamps on the ends of the battery
cable wires provide a strong and reliable connection
of the battery cable to the battery terminal posts.
The terminal pinch bolts allow the female terminal
clamps to be tightened around the male terminal
posts on the top of the battery. The eyelet terminals
secured to the opposite ends of the battery cable
wires from the female battery terminal clamps pro-
vide secure and reliable connection of the battery
cables to the vehicle electrical system.
The battery positive cable terminal clamp is
attached to the ends of two wires. One wire has an
eyelet terminal that connects the battery positive
cable to the B(+) terminal stud of the Integrated
Power Module (IPM), and the other wire has an eye-
let terminal that connects the battery positive cable
to the B(+) terminal stud of the engine starter motor
solenoid. The battery negative cable terminal clamp
is also attached to the ends of two wires. One wire
has an eyelet terminal that connects the battery neg-
ative cable to the vehicle powertrain through a stud
on the left side of the engine cylinder block. The
other wire has an eyelet terminal that connects the
battery negative cable to the vehicle body through a
ground screw on the left front fender inner shield,
near the battery.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BATTERY CABLE
A voltage drop test will determine if there is exces-
sive resistance in the battery cable terminal connec-
tions or the battery cable. If excessive resistance is
found in the battery cable connections, the connec-
tion point should be disassembled, cleaned of all cor-
rosion or foreign material, then reassembled.
Following reassembly, check the voltage drop for the
battery cable connection and the battery cable again
to confirm repair.
When performing the voltage drop test, it is impor-
tant to remember that the voltage drop is giving an
indication of the resistance between the two points at
which the voltmeter probes are attached.EXAM-
PLE:When testing the resistance of the battery pos-
itive cable, touch the voltmeter leads to the battery
positive cable terminal clamp and to the battery pos-
itive cable eyelet terminal at the starter solenoid
B(+) terminal stud. If you probe the battery positive
terminal post and the battery positive cable eyelet
terminal at the starter solenoid B(+) terminal stud,
you are reading the combined voltage drop in the
battery positive cable terminal clamp-to-terminal
post connection and the battery positive cable.
