timing DODGE NEON 2000 Service Service Manual

OPERATION
The combination coolant temperature sensor has
two elements. One element supplies coolant temper-
ature signal to the PCM. The other element supplies
coolant temperature signal to the instrument panel
gauge cluster. The PCM determines engine coolant
temperature from the coolant temperature sensor.
As coolant temperature varies the coolant temper-
ature sensors resistance changes resulting in a differ-
ent input voltage to the PCM and the instrument
panel gauge cluster.When the engine is cold, the PCM will provide
slightly richer air- fuel mixtures and higher idle
speeds until normal operating temperatures are
reached.
The PCM has a dual temperature range program
for better sensor accuracy at cold temperatures. At
key-ON the PCM sends a regulated five volt signal
through a 10,000 ohm resistor to the sensor. When
the sensed voltage reaches approximately 1.25 volts
the PCM turns on the transistor. The transistor con-
nects a 1,000 ohm resistor in parallel with the 10,000
ohm resistor. With this drop in resistance the PCM
recognizes an increase in voltage on the input circuit.
FUEL LEVEL SENSORÐPCM INPUT
DESCRIPTION
The fuel gauge level sending unit is attached to the
fuel pump module.
OPERATION
The fuel level sensor (fuel gauge sending unit)
sends a signal to the PCM to indicate fuel level. The
purpose of this feature is to prevent a false setting of
misfire and fuel system monitor trouble codes if the
fuel level is less than approximately 15 percent of its
rated capacity. It is also used to send a signal for fuel
gauge operation via the PCI bus circuits.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)

IGNITION CIRCUIT SENSEÐPCM INPUT
OPERATION
The ignition circuit sense input tells the Power-
train Control Module (PCM) the ignition switch has
energized the ignition circuit.
Battery voltage is also supplied to the PCM
through the Ignition Switch when the ignition is in
the RUN or START position. This is called the9igni-
tion senseº circuit and is used to ªwake upº the PCM.
Voltage on the ignition input can be as low as 6 volts
and the PCM will still function. Voltage is supplied to
this circuit to power the 8-volt regulator and to allow
the PCM to perform fuel, ignition and emissions con-
trol functions. The battery voltage on this line is sup-
plied to the 8-volt regulator which then passes on a
power-up supply to the 5-volt regulator.
INLET AIR TEMPERATURE SENSORÐPCM
INPUT
DESCRIPTION
The IAT sensor attaches to the intake air duct
(Fig. 15).
The IAT Sensor is a Negative Temperature Coeffi-
cient (NTC) Sensor that provides information to the
PCM regarding the temperature of the air entering
the intake manifold.
OPERATION
Intake Air Temperature
The inlet air temperature sensor replaces the
intake air temperature sensor and the battery tem-
perature sensor. The PCM uses the information from
the inlet air temperature sensor to determine valuesto use as an intake air temperature sensor and a bat-
tery temperature sensor.
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor value is
used by the PCM to determine air density.
The PCM uses this information to calculate:
²Injector pulse width
²Adjustment of ignition timing (to prevent spark
knock at high intake air temperatures)
Battery Temperature
The inlet air temperature sensor replaces the
intake air temperature sensor and the battery tem-
perature sensor. The PCM uses the information from
the inlet air temperature sensor to determine values
for the PCM to use as an intake air temperature sen-
sor and a battery temperature sensor.
The battery temperature information along with
data from monitored line voltage (B+), is used by the
PCM to vary the battery charging rate. System volt-
age will be higher at colder temperatures and is
gradually reduced at warmer temperatures.
The battery temperature information is also used
for OBD II diagnostics. Certain faults and OBD II
monitors are either enabled or disabled depending
upon the battery temperature sensor input (example:
disable purge and EGR, enable LDP). Most OBD II
monitors are disabled below 20ÉF.
KNOCK SENSORÐPCM INPUT
DESCRIPTION
The knock sensor threads into the side of the cyl-
inder block (Fig. 16). The knock sensor is designed to
detect engine vibration that is caused by detonation.
Fig. 15 Inlet Air Temperature Sensor
Fig. 16 Knock Sensor
14 - 34 FUEL SYSTEMPL
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)

OPERATION
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 cyl-
inders by a scheduled amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric material
which sends an input voltage (signal) to the PCM. As
the intensity of the engine knock vibration increases,
the knock sensor output voltage also increases.
The voltage signal produced by the knock sensor
increases with the amplitude of vibration. The PCM
receives as an input the knock sensor voltage signal.
If the signal rises above a predetermined level, the
PCM will store that value in memory and retard
ignition timing to reduce engine knock. If the knock
sensor voltage exceeds a preset value, the PCM
retards ignition timing for all cylinders. It is not a
selective cylinder retard.
The PCM ignores knock sensor input during engine
idle conditions. Once the engine speed exceeds a
specified value, knock retard is allowed.
Knock retard uses its own short term and long
term memory program.
Long term memory stores previous detonation
information in its battery-backed RAM. The maxi-
mum authority that long term memory has over tim-
ing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard timing up
to a preset amount under all operating conditions (as
long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except WOT.
The PCM, using short term memory, can respond
quickly to retard timing when engine knock is
detected. Short term memory is lost any time the
ignition key is turned off.
MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP)
SENSORÐPCM INPUT
DESCRIPTION
The MAP sensor mounts to the intake manifold
(Fig. 17).
OPERATION
The PCM supplies 5 volts direct current to the
MAP sensor. The MAP sensor converts intake mani-
fold pressure 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
proportionately.
At key on, before the engine is started, 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 andinputs from other sensors, the PCM adjusts spark
advance and the air/fuel mixture.
If the PCM considers the MAP Sensor information
inaccurate, the PCM moves into ªlimp-inº mode.
When the MAP Sensor is in limp-in, the PCM limits
the engine speed as a function of the Throttle Posi-
tion Sensor (TPS) to between 1500 and 4000 rpm. If
the MAP Sensor sends realistic signals once again,
the PCM moves out of limp-in and resumes using the
MAP values.
During limp-in a DTC is set and the MIL illumi-
nates.
POWER STEERING PRESSURE SWITCHÐPCM
INPUT
DESCRIPTION
A pressure sensing switch is located on the power
steering gear.
OPERATION
The switch (Fig. 18) provides an input to the PCM
during periods of high pump load and low engine
RPM; such as during parking maneuvers.
When power steering pump pressure exceeds 2758
kPa (400 psi), the switch is open. The PCM increases
idle air flow through the IAC motor to prevent
engine stalling. The PCM sends 12 volts through a
resister to the sensor circuit to ground. When pump
pressure is low, the switch is closed.
SENSOR RETURNÐPCM INPUT
OPERATION
The sensor return circuit provides a low electrical
noise ground reference for all of the systems sensors.
Fig. 17 Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor
PLFUEL SYSTEM 14 - 35
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)

The sensor return circuit connects to internal ground
circuits within the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM).
SPEED CONTROLÐPCM INPUT
OPERATION
The speed control system provides five separate
voltages (inputs) to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The voltages correspond to the ON, OFF,
SET, RESUME, CANCEL, and COAST.
The speed control ON voltage informs the PCM
that the speed control system has been activated.
The speed control SET voltage informs the PCM that
a fixed vehicle speed has been selected. The speed
control RESUME voltage indicates the previous fixed
speed is requested. The speed control CANCEL volt-
age tells the PCM to deactivate but retain set speed
in memory (same as depressing the brake pedal). The
speed control OFF voltage tells the PCM that the
speed control system has deactivated.
Inputs Required for Operation
The inputs required by the PCM to operate the
Speed Control System include:
²Speed Control switches
²Brake switch
²Park/Neutral switch
²Vehicle speed signal
²Engine speed
²CCD bussed message from TCM
SCI RECEIVEÐPCM INPUT
OPERATION
SCI Receive is the serial data communication
receive circuit for the DRB scan tool. The PowertrainControl Module (PCM) receives data from the DRB
through the SCI Receive circuit.
PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCHÐPCM
INPUT
DESCRIPTION
The park/neutral position switch is located on the
automatic transaxle housing (Fig. 19).
OPERATION
Manual transaxles do not use park/neutral
switches. The switch provides an input to the PCM to
indicate whether the automatic transaxle is in Park/
Neutral, or a drive gear selection. This input is used
to determine idle speed (varying with gear selection)
and ignition timing advance. The park/neutral input
is also used to cancel vehicle speed control. The park/
neutral switch is sometimes referred to as the neu-
tral safety switch.
The PCM delivers 8.5 volts to the center terminal
of the Park/Neutral switch. When the gear shift lever
is moved to either the Park or the Neutral position,
the PCM receives a ground signal from the Park/
Neutral switch. With the shift lever positioned in
Drive or Reverse, the Park/Neutral switch contacts
open, causing the signal to the PCM to go high.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSORÐPCM INPUT
DESCRIPTION
The throttle position sensor mounts to the side of
the throttle body (Fig. 20).
The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) connects to the
throttle blade shaft. The TPS is a variable resistor
that provides the PCM with an input signal (voltage).
The signal represents throttle blade position. As the

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)

position of the throttle blade changes, the resistance
of the TPS changes.
OPERATION
The PCM supplies approximately 5 volts DC 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 0.35 to 1.03 volts at minimum
throttle opening (idle) to a maximum of 3.1 to 4.0
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.
When the TPS indicates a voltage that is too high,
too low or not believable, the PCM sets a DTC. When
the DTC is set, the MIL is illuminated and the PCM
moves into limp-in mode. Limp-in for the TPS is
divided into three categories:
²Idle
²Part-throttle
²Wide open throttle (WOT)
VEHICLE SPEED SIGNAL (VSS)ÐPCM INPUT
DESCRIPTION
The PCM requires the VSS to be able to control
the following programs:
²Speed Control
²IAC motor (during deceleration)
²Injection pulse width (during deceleration)
²OBD II diagnostics
²PCM mileage EEPROM
²Road speed shutdown
²Speedometer/Odometer (bused message)NOTE: Road Speed Shutdown is the PCM shutting
off fuel injectors above a preset vehicle speed.
The vehicle speed sensor is located in the transmis-
sion extension housing (Fig. 21) and (Fig. 22).
OPERATION
The vehicle speed sensor on 3 speed automatic and
manual transaxle vehicles is a Hall-effect sensor.
This sensor is mechanically driven by a pinion gear
that is in mesh with the right axle drive shaft. The
hall-effect sensor switches a 5 volt signal sent from
the PCM from a ground to an open circuit.

PLFUEL SYSTEM 14 - 37
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)

Like all Hall-effect sensors, the electronics of the
sensor needs a power source. This power source is
provided by the PCM. It is the same 8 volt power
supply that is used by the CKP and CMP sensors.
The vehicle speed sensor generates 8 pulses per
sensor revolution. This signal, in conjunction with a
closed throttle signal from the throttle position sen-
sor, indicates a closed throttle deceleration to the
PCM. Under deceleration conditions, the PCM
adjusts the Idle Air Control (IAC) motor to maintain
a desired MAP value.
When the vehicle is stopped at idle, a closed throt-
tle signal is received by the PCM (but a speed sensor
signal is not received). Under idle conditions, the
PCM adjusts the IAC motor to maintain a desired
engine speed.
AIR CONDITIONING CLUTCH RELAYÐPCM
OUTPUT
DESCRIPTION
The air conditioning clutch relay is located in the
PDC. The inside top of the PDC cover has a label
showing relay and fuse location.
OPERATION
The PCM controls the air conditioning clutch relay
ground circuit. The A/C clutch relay coil side contains
a 10 amp fuse between the buss bar in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) and the relay. The power
side of this relay is fused with a 40 amp fuse. When
the PCM receives an air conditioning input, it
grounds the A/C compressor clutch relay and the
radiator fan relay.
When the PCM senses low idle speeds or wide open
throttle through the throttle position sensor, it
removes the ground for the A/C compressor clutch
relay. When the relay de-energizes, the contacts open
preventing air conditioning clutch engagement. Also,
if the PCM senses a part throttle launch condition, it
disables the A/C compressor clutch for several sec-
onds.
AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN RELAYÐPCM
OUTPUT
DESCRIPTION
The ASD relay is located in the PDC. The inside
top of the PDC cover has a label showing relay and
fuse location.
OPERATION
The automatic shutdown (ASD) relay supplies bat-
tery voltage to the fuel injectors, electronic ignition
coil and the heating elements in the oxygen sensors
generator field and PCM sense circuit.A buss bar in the power distribution center (PDC)
supplies voltage to the solenoid side and contact side
of the relay. The ASD relay power circuit contains a
fuse between the buss bar in the PDC and the relay.
The fuse also protects the power circuit for the fuel
pump relay and pump. The fuse is located in the
PDC. Refer to the Wiring Diagrams for circuit infor-
mation.
The PCM controls the relay by switching the
ground path for the solenoid side of the relay on and
off. The PCM turns the ground path off when the
ignition switch is in the Off position unless the 02
Heater Monitor test is being run. When the ignition
switch is in the On or Crank position, the PCM mon-
itors the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft
position sensor signals to determine engine speed
and ignition timing (coil dwell). If the PCM does not
receive the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft
position sensor signals when the ignition switch is in
the Run position, it will de-energize the ASD relay.
CHARGING SYSTEM INDICATOR LAMPÐPCM
OUTPUT
OPERATION
The PCM turns the instrument panel Charging
System Lamp on. Refer to the Charging system sec-
tion information.
FUEL PUMP RELAYÐPCM OUTPUT
DESCRIPTION
The fuel pump relay is located in the PDC. The
inside top of the PDC cover has a label showing relay
and fuse location.
OPERATION
The fuel pump relay supplies battery voltage to the
fuel pump. A buss bar in the Power Distribution Cen-
ter (PDC) supplies voltage to the solenoid side and
contact side of the relay. The fuel pump relay power
circuit contains a fuse between the buss bar in the
PDC and the relay. The fuse also protects the power
circuit for the Automatic Shutdown (ASD) relay. The
fuse is located in the PDC. Refer to the Wiring Dia-
grams for circuit information.
The PCM controls the fuel pump relay by switch-
ing the ground path for the solenoid side of the relay
on and off. The PCM turns the ground path off when
the ignition switch is in the Off position. When the
ignition switch is in the On position, the PCM ener-
gizes the fuel pump. If the crankshaft position sensor
does not detect engine rotation, the PCM de-ener-
gizes the relay after approximately one second.
14 - 38 FUEL SYSTEMPL
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)

stroke. One plug is the cylinder under compression,
the other cylinder fires on the exhaust stroke. Coil
number one fires cylinders 1 and 4. Coil number two
fires cylinders 2 and 3. The PCM determines which
of the coils to charge and fire at the correct time.
The Auto Shutdown (ASD) relay provides battery
voltage to the ignition coil. The PCM provides a
ground contact (circuit) for energizing the 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 the crankshaft position sensor and
camshaft position sensor inputs. Refer to Auto Shut-
down (ASD) RelayÐPCM Output in this section for
relay operation.
Base timing is non-adjustable, but is set from the
factory at approximately 10ÉBTDC when the engine
is warm and idling.
There is an adaptive dwell strategy that runs dwell
from 4 to 6 msec when rpm is below 3,000 and bat-
tery voltage is 12-14 volts. During cranking, dwell
can be as much as 200 msec. The adaptive dwell is
driven by the sensed current flow through the injec-
tor drivers. Current flow is limited to 8 amps.
The low resistance of the primary coils can allow
current flow in excess of 15 amps. The PCM has a
current sensing device in the coil output circuit. As
dwell time starts, the PCM allows current to flow.
When the sensing device registers 8 amps, the PCM
begins to regulate current flow to maintain and not
exceed 8 amps through the remainder of the dwell
time. This prevents the PCM from being damaged by
excess current flow.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR (CHECK ENGINE)
LAMPÐPCM OUTPUT
OPERATION
The PCM supplies the malfunction indicator (check
engine) lamp on/off signal to the instrument panel
through the PCI Bus. The PCI Bus is a communica-
tions port. Various modules use the PCI Bus to
exchange information.
The 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 (MIL) stays on
continuously, when the PCM has entered a Limp-In
mode or identified a failed emission component. Dur-
ing Limp-in Mode, the PCM attempts to keep the
system operational. The MIL signals the need for
immediate service. In limp-in mode, the PCM com-
pensates for the failure of certain components that
send incorrect signals. The PCM substitutes for the
incorrect signals with inputs from other sensors.
If the PCM detects active engine misfire severe
enough to cause catalyst damage, it flashes the MIL.
At the same time the PCM also sets a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC).
For signals that can trigger the MIL (Check
Engine Lamp) refer to the On-Board Diagnos-
tics section.
SPEED CONTROLÐPCM INPUT
OPERATION
The speed control system provides five separate
voltages (inputs) to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The voltages correspond to the ON, OFF,
SET, RESUME, CANCEL, and COAST.
The speed control ON voltage informs the PCM
that the speed control system has been activated.
The speed control SET voltage informs the PCM that
a fixed vehicle speed has been selected. The speed
control RESUME voltage indicates the previous fixed
speed is requested. The speed control CANCEL volt-
age tells the PCM to deactivate but retain set speed
in memory (same as depressing the brake pedal). The
speed control COAST voltage informs the PCM to
coast down to a new desired speed. The speed control
OFF voltage tells the PCM that the speed control
system has deactivated. Refer to the Speed Control
section for more speed control information.
