To disable the ignition and fuel systems, disconnect
the Automatic Shutdown Relay (ASD). The ASD relay
is located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
Refer to the PDC cover for proper relay location.
FEED CIRCUIT RESISTANCE TEST
Before proceeding with this operation, review Diag-
nostic Preparation and Starter Feed Circuit Tests.
The following operation will require a voltmeter,
accurate to 1/10 of a volt.
CAUTION: Ignition system also must be disabled
to prevent engine start while performing the follow-
ing tests.
(1) To disable the ignition and fuel systems, dis-
connect the Automatic Shutdown Relay (ASD). The
ASD relay is located in the Power Distribution Cen-
ter (PDC). Refer to the PDC cover for proper relay
location.
(2) With all wiring harnesses and components
properly connected, perform the following:
(a) Connect the negative lead of the voltmeter to
the battery negative post, and positive lead to the
battery negative cable clamp (Fig. 2). Rotate and
hold the ignition switch in the START position.
Observe the voltmeter. If voltage is detected, cor-
rect poor contact between cable clamp and post.
(b) Connect positive lead of the voltmeter to the
battery positive post, and negative lead to the bat-
tery positive cable clamp (Fig. 2). Rotate and hold
the ignition switch key in the START position.
Observe the voltmeter. If voltage is detected, cor-
rect poor contact between the cable clamp and
post.
(c) Connect negative lead of voltmeter to battery
negative terminal, and positive lead to engine
block near the battery cable attaching point (Fig.
3). Rotate and hold the ignition switch in the
START position. If voltage reads above 0.2 volt,
correct poor contact at ground cable attaching
point. If voltage reading is still above 0.2 volt after
correcting poor contacts, replace ground cable.
(3) Connect positive voltmeter lead to the starter
motor housing and the negative lead to the battery
negative terminal (Fig. 4). Hold the ignition switch
key in the START position. If voltage reads above 0.2
volt, correct poor starter to engine ground.
(a) Connect the positive voltmeter lead to the
battery positive terminal, and negative lead to bat-
tery cable terminal on starter solenoid (Fig. 5).
Rotate and hold the ignition switch in the START
position. If voltage reads above 0.2 volt, correct
poor contact at battery cable to solenoid connec-
tion. If reading is still above 0.2 volt after correct-
ing poor contacts, replace battery positive cable.(b) If resistance tests do not detect feed circuit
failures, replace the starter motor.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
This section describes the electronic ignition sys-
tem for the 2.0L engines used in Neon vehicles.
The On-Board Diagnostics Section in Group 25
describes diagnostic trouble codes.
Group 0, Lubrication and Maintenance, contains
general maintenance information for ignition relateditems. The Owner's Manual also contains mainte-
nance information.DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
IGNITION SYSTEM
Ignition system operation and diagnostics, are
identical for 2.0L Single Overhead Cam (SOHC) and
2.0L Duel Overhead Cam (DOHC) engines.
PLIGNITION SYSTEM 8D - 1

SOHC
The coolant sensor threads into the end of the cyl-
inder head, next to the camshaft position sensor (Fig.
12). New sensors have sealant applied to the threads.
DOHC
The coolant sensor threads into the intake mani-
fold next to the thermostat housing (Fig. 13). New
sensors have sealant applied to the threads.
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The intake air temperature sensor measures the
temperature of the air as it enters the engine. The
sensor supplies one of the inputs the PCM uses to
determine injector pulse-width.
The MAP/Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor,
located on the intake manifold, combines the MAP
and Intake Air Temperature (IAT) functions into one
sensor (Fig. 14) or (Fig. 15).
KNOCK SENSOR
The knock sensor threads into the side of the cyl-
inder block in front of the starter motor. When the
knock sensor detects a knock in one of the cylinders,
it sends an input signal to the PCM. In response, the
PCM retards ignition timing for all cylinders by a
scheduled amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric material
which constantly vibrates and sends an input voltage
(signal) to the PCM while the engine operates. As the
intensity of the crystal's vibration increase, the knock
sensor output voltage also increases.
NOTE: Over or under tightening effects knock sen-
sor performance, possibly causing improper spark
control.
MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR (MAP)
The PCM supplies 5 volts to the MAP sensor. The
MAP sensor function converts intake manifold pres-
sure into voltage. The PCM monitors the MAP sensor
output voltage. As vacuum increases, MAP sensor
voltage decreases proportionately. Also, as vacuum
decreases, MAP sensor voltage increases proportion-
ately.
Key on, before the engine starts running, the PCM
determines atmospheric air pressure from the MAP
sensor voltage. While the engine operates, the PCM
determines intake manifold pressure from the MAP
sensor voltage. Based on MAP sensor voltage and
inputs from other sensors, the PCM adjusts spark
advance and the air/fuel mixture.
The MAP/IAT sensor mounts to the intake mani-
fold (Fig. 14) or (Fig. 15).
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS)
The TPS mounts to the side of the throttle body.
The TPS connects to the throttle blade shaft. The
TPS is a variable resistor that provides the Power-

train Control Module (PCM) with an input signal
(voltage). The signal represents throttle blade posi-
tion. As the position of the throttle blade changes,
the resistance 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 0.38 volts to 1.2 volts at mini-
mum throttle opening (idle) to a maximum of 3.1
volts to 4.4 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.
IGNITION SWITCH
In the RUN position, the ignition switch connects
power from the Power Distribution Center (PDC) to a
30 amp fuse in the fuse block, back to a bus bar in
the PDC. The bus bar feeds circuits for the Power-
train Control Module (PCM), duty cycle purge sole-
noid, EGR solenoid, and ABS system. The bus bar in
the PDC feeds the coil side of the radiator fan relay,
A/C compressor clutch relay, and the fuel pump relay.
It also feeds the Airbag Control Module (ACM)
LOCK KEY CYLINDER
The lock cylinder is inserted in the end of the
housing opposite the ignition switch. The ignition key
rotates the cylinder to 5 different detents (Fig. 16):
²Accessory
²Off (lock)
²Unlock
²On/Run
²Start
IGNITION INTERLOCK
All vehicles equipped with automatic transaxles
have an interlock system. The system prevents shift-
ing the vehicle out of Park unless the ignition lock
cylinder is in the Off, Run or Start position. In addi-
tion, the operator cannot rotate the key to the lock
position unless the shifter is in the park position. On
vehicles equipped with floor shift refer to Group 21 -
Transaxle for Automatic Transmission Shifter/Igni-
tion Interlock.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
TESTING FOR SPARK AT COILÐ2.0/2.4L
WARNING: THE DIRECT IGNITION SYSTEMS GEN-
ERATES APPROXIMATELY 40,000 VOLTS. PER-
SONAL INJURY COULD RESULT FROM CONTACT
WITH THIS SYSTEM.
The coil pack contains independent coils. Each coil
must be checked individually.
CAUTION: Spark plug wire damage may occur if
the spark plug is moved more than 1/4 inch away
from the engine ground.
CAUTION: Do not leave any one spark plug cable
disconnected any longer than 30 seconds or possi-
ble heat damage to catalytic converter will occur.
CAUTION: Test must be performed at idle and in
park only with the parking brake on.
NOTE: New isolated engine valve cover may not
provide adequate ground. Use engine block as
engine ground.

ply circuit shorts to ground, neither sensor will pro-
duce a signal (output voltage to the PCM).
When the ignition key is turned and left in the On
position, the PCM automatically energizes the Auto
Shutdown (ASD) relay. However, the controller de-en-
ergizes the relay within one second because it has
not received a camshaft position sensor signal indi-
cating engine rotation.
During cranking, the ASD relay will not energize
until the PCM receives a camshaft position sensor
signal. Secondly, the ASD relay remains energized
only if the controller senses a crankshaft position
sensor signal immediately after detecting the cam-
shaft position sensor signal.
(1) Check battery voltage. Voltage should approxi-
mately 12.66 volts or higher to perform failure to
start test.
(2) Disconnect the harness connector from the coil
pack (Fig. 20).
(3) Connect a test light to the B+ (battery voltage)
terminal of the coil electrical connector and ground.
The B+ wire for the DIS coil is the center terminal.
Do not spread the terminal with the test light
probe.
(4) Turn the ignition key to theON position.The
test light should flash On and then Off.Do not turn
the Key to off position, leave it in the On posi-
tion.
(a) If the test light flashes momentarily, the
PCM grounded the ASD relay. Proceed to step 5.
(b) If the test light did not flash, the ASD relay
did not energize. The cause is either the relay or
one of the relay circuits. Use the DRB scan tool to
test the ASD relay and circuits. Refer to the appro-
priate Powertrain Diagnostics Procedure Manual.
Refer to the wiring diagrams section for circuit
information.
(5) Crank the engine. (If the key was placed in the
off position after step 4, place the key in the On posi-tion before cranking. Wait for the test light to flash
once, then crank the engine.)
(6) If the test light momentarily flashes during
cranking, the PCM is not receiving a crankshaft posi-
tion sensor signal.
(7) If the test light did not flash during cranking,
unplug the crankshaft position sensor connector.
Turn the ignition key to the off position. Turn the
key to the On position, wait for the test light to
momentarily flash once, then crank the engine. If the
test light momentarily flashes, the crankshaft posi-
tion sensor is shorted and must be replaced. If the
light did not flash, the cause of the no-start is in
either the crankshaft position sensor/camshaft posi-
tion sensor 8 volt supply circuit, or the camshaft
position sensor output or ground circuits.
IGNITION TIMING PROCEDURE
The engines for this vehicle, use a fixed ignition
system. The PCM regulates ignition timing. Basic
ignition timing is not adjustable.
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND CRANKSHAFT
POSITION SENSOR
The output voltage of a properly operating cam-
shaft position sensor or crankshaft position sensor
switches from high (5.0 volts) to low (0.3 volts). By
connecting an Moper Diagonostic System (MDS) and
engine analyzer to the vehicle, technicians can view
the square wave pattern.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Refer to Group 14, Fuel System for Diagnosis and
Testing.
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Refer to Group 14, Fuel System, for Diagnosis and
Testing.
MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP) SENSOR
TEST
Refer to Group 14, Fuel System for Diagnosis and
Testing.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
To perform a complete test of the this sensor and
its circuitry, refer to the DRB scan tool and appropri-
ate Powertrain Diagnostics Procedures manual. To
test the throttle position sensor only, refer to the fol-
lowing:
The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) can be tested
with a digital voltmeter (DVM). The center terminal
of the sensor is the output terminal. One of the other
terminals is a 5 volt supply and the remaining ter-
minal is ground.
