SENSOR-CRANKSHAFT POSITION

into the right rear side of the cylinder block. It is posi-
tioned and bolted into a machined hole.

tioned and bolted into a machined hole.

5.7L V-8
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) (4) sensor is mounted
into the right rear side of the cylinder block. It is posi-
tioned and bolted into a machined hole.
OPERATION
3.7L V-6
Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided
through the CKP (Crankshaft Position) sensor. The
sensor generates pulses that are the input sent to the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM interprets
the sensor input to determine the crankshaft position.
The PCM then uses this position, along with other
inputs, to determine injector sequence and ignition
timing.
The sensor is a hall effect device combined with an
internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel within a
certain distance from it.
A tonewheel (targetwheel) (1) is bolted to the engine
crankshaft. This tonewheel has sets of notches (2) at
its outer edge.
The notches cause a pulse to be generated when they
pass under the sensor. The pulses are the input to the
PCM.

8.3L - SRT-10
The idle air control motor is mounted at the front right
of the intake manifold.
OPERATION
3.7L V-6/4.7L V-8
A separate IAC motor is not used with the 5.7L V-8 engine.
At idle, engine speed can be increased by retracting the IAC motor pintle and allowing more air to pass through the
port, or it can be decreased by restricting the passage with the pintle and diminishing the amount of air bypassing
the throttle plate.
The IAC is called a stepper motor because it is moved (rotated) in steps, or increments. Opening the IAC opens an
air passage around the throttle blade which increases RPM.
The PCM uses the IAC motor to control idle speed (along with timing) and to reach a desired MAP during decel
(keep engine from stalling).
The IAC motor has 4 wires with 4 circuits. Two of the wires are for 12 volts andground to supply electrical current
to the motor windings to operate the stepper motor in one direction. The other2wiresarealsofor12voltsand
ground to supply electrical current to operate the stepper motor in the opposite direction.
To make the IAC go in the opposite direction, the PCM just reverses polarityon both windings. If only 1 wire is
open, the IAC can only be moved 1 step (increment) in either direction. To keeptheIACmotorinpositionwhenno
movement is needed, the PCM will energize both windings at the same time. This locks the IAC motor in place.
In the IAC motor system, the PCM will count every step that the motor is moved. This allows the PCM to determine
the motor pintle position. If the memory is cleared, the PCM no longer knowsthe position of the pintle. So at the
first key ON, the PCM drives the IAC motor closed, regardless of where it wasbefore. This zeros the counter. From
this point the PCM will back out the IAC motor and keep track of its position again.
When engine rpm is above idle speed, the IAC is used for the following:
Off-idle dashpot (throttle blade will close quickly but idle speed will notstopquickly)
Deceleration air flow control
A/C compressor load control (also opens the passage slightly before the compressor is engaged so that the
engine rpm does not dip down when the compressor engages)
Power steering load control
The PCM can control polarity of the circuit to control direction of the stepper motor.
IAC Stepper Motor Program:The PCM is also equipped with a memory program that records the number of steps
the IAC stepper motor most recently advanced to during a certain set of parameters. For example: The PCM was
attempting to maintain a 1000 rpm target during a cold start-up cycle. The last recorded number of steps for that
may have been 125. That value would be recorded in the memory cell so that thenext time the PCM recognizes the
