NOTE:
a Tha tarm ,,lntormittgnt Failure" is used in these chans. lt simply means a system may have had a failur6, but it chocks
out OK !t this time. lf th6 Msltunction Indicator Lamp (MlL) on ihe dash does not come on, check for poor connections
or loose wires at all connectors rolated to the cilcuit that you are troubleshooting (see illustration b6low).
a Most ot tho troublashooting flowchans have you reset the Engine Control Module (ECM) and try to duplicate the Disg-
nostic Troubls Cod6 (DTC). lf the problem is intermittent and you c8n't duplicat€ the cod6, do not continus through
the flowchart, To do so will only rosult in confusion and, possibly, a ne€dlessly replaced ECM
a ,,opon,'and ,,short,, are common electrical terms. An open is a break in a wir6 or at a conn€ction. A short is an
accidontal connaction ot a wir€ to ground or to another wire. In simple electronics, this usually means som€thing won't
work at all. In complex electronics (like ECM's), this can sometimes mean something wolks, but not the way it's sup-
poSad to,
a il th6 olectricsl readings are not as specified when using the test harness, check the test harness connoctions bsfore
procooding.

3. Fuel Cut-oft Control
a During deceleration with the throttle valve closed, current to the {uel injectors is cut otJ to improve fuel economy
at speeds over tollowing rpm:
. 8188l engine: 91O tpm (Canada model: 1,O50 rpm)
. 818C1 engine: 95O tpm (Canada model: l,O5O rpm)
a Fuel cut-olf action also takes place when engine speed exceeds, 7,O0O rpm {81 8B1 engine), 8,1O0 rpm (B 18Cl
engine), regardless oI the position of the throttle valve, to protect the engine from ovet-revving.
A/C Compressor Clutch Relay
When the ECM receives a domand for cooling trom the air conditioning system, it del8ys the compressor from being
enetgized, and enriches the mixture to assure smooth transition to the A/C mode.
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Purge Control Solenoid Valve
When the engine coolant tempersture is below 163oF {73"C), the ECM supplies a ground to the EVAP pu.ge control
solenoid valve which cuts vacuum to the EVAP purge control diaphragm valve.
Intake Air Bypsss (lAB) Control Sol€noid Valve
When the engine rpm is below 5,750 rpm, the IAB control solenoid valve is activated by a signal from the ECM,
intske air flows through the long intake path, then high torque is delivered. At spaeds highe. than 5,750 rpm, the
solenoid valve is deactivated by the ECM, and intake air flows through the short intake path in order to reduce the
resistance in airflow.
ECM fail-safe/bEck-up Functions
1. Fail-sate Function
When an abnormality occurs in a signal from a sensor, the ECM ignores that signal and assumes a pre-progtammed
value tor that sensor that allows the engine to continue to run.
Back-uD Function
When an abnormalitv occurs in the ECM itself, the fuel iniectors are controlled by a back-up citcuit independent of
the system in order to permit minimal driving.
Self-diagnosis Function IMaltunction Indicator Lamp {MlL)1
Wh6n an abnormality occurs in a signal from a sensor, the ECM supplies ground for the MIL and stores the code
in erasable memory. When the ignition is initially turned on, the ECM supplies ground tor the MIL tor two seconds
to check the MIL bulb condition.
Two Trio Detection Method
To prevent tals€ indications, th€ Two Trip Dstection Method is used for the HO2S and fuel metering-related self-
diagnostic tunctions. When an abnormslity occurs, the ECM stores it in its memo.y. Wh€n the ssme sbnormality
recurs alter the ignition switch is turned OFF and ON ag8in, the ECM informs the driver by lighting the MlL.
However, to ease troubleshooting, this function is canc€ll€d when you short the service check connector. The MIL
will then blink immedistelv when an abnormality occurs.
