LEAK DETECTION PUMP MONITOR
The leak detection assembly incorporates two pri-
mary functions: it must detect a leak in the evapora-
tive system and seal the evaporative system so the
leak detection test can be run.
The primary components within the assembly are:
A three port solenoid that activates both of the func-
tions listed above; a pump which contains a switch,
two check valves and a spring/diaphragm, a canister
vent valve (CVV) seal which contains a spring loaded
vent seal valve.
Immediately after a cold start, between predeter-
mined temperature thresholds limits, the three port
solenoid is briefly energized. This initializes the
pump by drawing air into the pump cavity and also
closes the vent seal. During non test conditions the
vent seal is held open by the pump diaphragm
assembly which pushes it open at the full travel posi-
tion. The vent seal will remain closed while the
pump is cycling due to the reed switch triggering of
the three port solenoid that prevents the diaphragm
assembly from reaching full travel. After the brief
initialization period, the solenoid is de-energized
allowing atmospheric pressure to enter the pump
cavity, thus permitting the spring to drive the dia-
phragm which forces air out of the pump cavity and
into the vent system. When the solenoid is energized
and de energized, the cycle is repeated creating flow
in typical diaphragm pump fashion. The pump is con-
trolled in 2 modes:
Pump Mode:The pump is cycled at a fixed rate to
achieve a rapid pressure build in order to shorten the
overall test length.
Test Mode:The solenoid is energized with a fixed
duration pulse. Subsequent fixed pulses occur when
the diaphragm reaches the Switch closure point.
The spring in the pump is set so that the system
will achieve an equalized pressure of about 7.5º H20.
The cycle rate of pump strokes is quite rapid as the
system begins to pump up to this pressure. As the
pressure increases, the cycle rate starts to drop off. If
there is no leak in the system, the pump would even-
tually stop pumping at the equalized pressure. If
there is a leak, it will continue to pump at a rate rep-
resentative of the flow characteristic of the size of the
leak. From this information we can determine if the
leak is larger than the required detection limit (cur-
rently set at .020º orifice by CARB). If a leak is
revealed during the leak test portion of the test, the
test is terminated at the end of the test mode and no
further system checks will be performed.
After passing the leak detection phase of the test,
system pressure is maintained by turning on the
LDP's solenoid until the purge system is activated.
Purge activation in effect creates a leak. The cycle
rate is again interrogated and when it increases dueto the flow through the purge system, the leak check
portion of the diagnostic is complete.
The canister vent valve will unseal the system
after completion of the test sequence as the pump
diaphragm assembly moves to the full travel position.
Evaporative system functionality will be verified by
using the stricter evap purge flow monitor. At an
appropriate warm idle the LDP will be energized to
seal the canister vent. The purge flow will be clocked
up from some small value in an attempt to see a
shift in the 02 control system. If fuel vapor, indicated
by a shift in the 02 control, is present the test is
passed. If not, it is assumed that the purge system is
not functioning in some respect. The LDP is again
turned off and the test is ended.
DESCRIPTION - 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 diagnos-
tic 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.
OPERATION - SYSTEM
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors
many different circuits in the fuel injection, ignition,
emission and engine systems. If the PCM senses a
problem with a monitored circuit often enough to
indicate an actual problem, it stores a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) in the PCM's memory. If the
code applies to a non-emissions related component or
system, and the problem is repaired or ceases to
exist, the PCM cancels the code after 40 warmup
cycles. Diagnostic trouble codes that affect vehicle
emissions illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL). Refer to Malfunction Indicator Lamp in this
section.
Certain criteria must be met before the PCM
stores a DTC in memory. The criteria may be a spe-
cific range of engine RPM, engine temperature,
and/or input voltage to the PCM.
The PCM might not store a DTC for a monitored
circuit even though a malfunction has occurred. This
may happen because one of the DTC criteria for the
circuit has not been met.For example, assume the
diagnostic trouble code criteria 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

TURBO DIESEL
DESCRIPTION
The 2.5L diesel Engine Control Module (ECM) con-
trols many different circuits in the fuel injection
pump and engine systems. If the ECM senses a prob-
lem with a monitored circuit that indicates an actual
problem, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be
stored in the ECM's memory, and eventually may
illuminate the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp)
constantly while the key is on. If the problem is
repaired, or is intermittent, the ECM will erase the
DTC after 40 warm-up cycles without the the fault
detected. A warm-up cycle consists of starting the
vehicle when the engine is cold, then the engine is
warmed up to a certain temperature, and finally, the
engine temperature falls to a normal operating tem-
perature, then the key is turned off.
Certain criteria must be met for a DTC to be
entered into ECM memory. The criteria may be a
specific range of engine rpm, engine or fuel tempera-
ture and/or input voltage to the ECM. A DTC indi-
cates that the ECM has identified an abnormal
signal in a circuit or the system.
There are several operating conditions that the
ECM does not monitor and set a DTC for. Refer to
the following Monitored Circuits and Non±Monitored
Circuits in this section.
ECM MONITORED SYSTEMS
The ECM can detect certain problems in the elec-
trical system.
Open or Shorted Circuit± The ECM will not
distinguish between an open or a short to ground,
however the ECM can determine if there is excessive
current on a circuit, such as a short to voltage or a
decrease in component resistance.
Output Device Current Flow± The ECM senses
whether the output devices are electrically connected.
If there is a problem with the circuit, the ECM
senses whether the circuit is open, shorted to ground
(±), or shorted to (+) voltage.Fuel Pressure:Fuel pressure is controlled by the
fuel injection pump and fuel pressure solenoid. The
ECM uses a fuel pressure sensor to determine if a
fuel pressure problem exists.
Fuel Injector Malfunctions:The ECM can deter-
mine if a fuel injector has an electrical problem. The
fuel injectors on the diesel engine arecontrolledby
the ECM.
ECM NON±MONITORED SYSTEMS
The ECM does not monitor the following circuits,
systems or conditions that could have malfunctions
that result in driveability problems. A DTC will not
be displayed for these conditions.
Cylinder Compression:The ECM cannot detect
uneven, low, or high engine cylinder compression.
Exhaust System:The ECM cannot detect a
plugged, restricted or leaking exhaust system.
Vacuum Assist:Leaks or restrictions in the vac-
uum circuits of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sys-
tem (EGR) are not monitored by the ECM.
ECM System Ground:The ECM cannot deter-
mine a poor system ground. However, a DTC may be
generated as a result of this condition.
ECM/PCM Connector Engagement:The ECM
cannot determine spread or damaged connector pins.
However, a DTC may be generated as a result of this
condition.
HIGH AND LOW LIMITS
The ECM compares input signals from each input
device. It has high and low limits that are pro-
grammed into it for that device. If the inputs are not
within specifications and other DTC criteria are met,
a DTC will be stored in memory. Other DTC criteria
might include engine rpm limits or input voltages
from other sensors or switches. The other inputs
might have to be sensed by the ECM when it senses
a high or low input voltage from the control system
device in question.
