DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) 338
MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP) SENSOR CIRCUIT
(SIGNAL
VOLTAGE LOW-HIGH VACUUM)
Circuit Description:
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor responds to changes in manifold pressure (vacuum). The Engine
Control Module (ECM) receives this information as a signal voltage that will vary from about 0.45 to 0.85 volts, at
closed throttle idle, to 3.8-4.5 volts at Wide Open Throttle (low vacuum).
If the MAP sensor fails, the ECM will substitute a fixed MAP value based on Throttle Position Sensor to control fuel
delivery.
Test Description:
Numbers below refer to circled numbers on the diagnostic chart.
CD This step will determine if Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 338 is the result of a hard failure or an intermittent
condition.
A
DTC 338 will set if:
• Engine speed is greater than 1100 revolution per minute.
• Throttle position sensor is greater than 20%.
•
MAP signal indicates less then 10.7 kPa.
• These conditions are present for a time longer than 0.125 seconds.
• No DTC 21 A or DTC 21 8 is set.
® Jumpering harness terminals "8" to "C", 5 volt to signal, will determine if the sensor is at fault, or if there is a
problem with ECM or wiring.
® The "Scan tool" may not display 12 volts. The important thing is that the ECM recognizes the voltage as more
than 4
volts, indicating that the ECM and GAY /RED wire are OK.
Diagnostic Aids:
With the Ignition "ON" and the engine stopped, the manifold pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure and the
signal voltage will be high. This information is used by the ECM as an indication of vehicle altitude and is referred
to as barometric pressure. Comparison of this barometric pressure reading with a known good vehicle with the
same sensor is a good
way to check accuracy of a "suspect" sensor. Readings should be the same ±0.4 volt.
A DTC 338 will result if GAY /Wire is open, or if GAY /RED is shorted to voltage or to 8LUIORG wire.
If DTC 338 is intermittent, refer to Section "6E2-8".

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) 45
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (H02S) CIRCUIT
(RICH
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (H02S) SIGNAL INDICATED)
Circuit Description:
The Engine Control Module (ECM) supplies a voltage of about .45 volt between terminals "83" and "82". (If
measured with a 10 megohm digital voltmeter, this may read as low as .32 volts.) The Heated Oxygen Sensor
(H02S)
varies the voltage within a range of about 1 volt, if the exhaust is rich, down through about .1 0 volt, if
exhaust is lean.
The sensor is like an open circuit and produces no voltage, when it is below about 360"C (600"F). An open sensor
circuit,
or cold sensor, cause "Open Loop" operation.
Test Description:
Numbers below refer to circled numbers ·on the diagnostic chart.
CD Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 45 is set, when the H02S signal voltage is fixed above .1 0 volts (1 00 mV) under
the
following conditions:
• Throttle position sensor greater than 9.8%. • 02 Signal Voltage is les than 0.347 volts and
• No DTC 21 A/21 8 or 33A/338. greater than .547 volts.
•
The engine is running for longer than 180 • Temperature above 69.5"C (155"F).
seconds. • Integrator not at 128
• System is operating in "Closed Loop". • All of the above condition present for 50 sec.
Diagnostic Aids:
The DTC 45, or rich H02S signal, is most likely caused by one of the following:
• Fuel Pressure-System will go rich, if pressure is too high. The ECM can compensate for some increase.
However,
if it gets too high, a DTC 45 will be set. See Fuel System diagnosis CHART A-5.
• HEI Shielding-An open ground CKT BLK/GRN may result in EMI, or induced electrical "noise". The ECM
looks at this "noise" as reference pulses. The additional pulses result in a higher than actual engine speed
signal. The ECM then delivers too much fuel, causing system to go rich. Engine tachometer will also, show ~
higher than actual engine speed, which can help in diagnosing this problem.
• Evaporate emission canister purge-Check for fuel saturation. If full of fuel, check canister control and
hoses.
See evaporate emission canister purge, Section "C3".
• Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor-An output that causes the ECM to sense a higher than normal
MAP (low vacuum) can causethesystemto go rich. Disconnecting the MAP sensor will allow the ECMtoseta
fixed value for the MAP sensor. Substitute a different MAP sensor, if the rich condition is gone, while the
sensor is disconnected.
• Throttle position sensor-An intermittent throttle position sensor output will cause the system to go rich,
due
to a false indication of the engine accelerating.
• 02 sensor contamination -Inspect H02S for silicone contamination from fuel, or use of improper RTV
sealant. The sensor may have a white, powdery coating and result in a high, but false signal voltage (rich
H02S signal indication). The ECM will then reduce the amount of fuel delivered to the engine, causing a
severe surge driveability problem.
• Exhaust gas recirculation -Valve sticking open at idle, usually accompanied by a rough idle, or stall
complaint, especially at idle. Refer to CHART C-7A to check exhaust gas recirculation system.
If DTC 45 is intermittent, refer to Section "6E2-8".

INTERMITTENTS
Definition: Problem may or may not turn "ON" the
"Check Engine" malfunction indicator lamp or store
Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC).
DO NOT use the DTC charts in "Engine Components/
Wiring Diagrams/Diagnostic
Charts," Section "6E2-A"
for intermittent problem. The fault must be present to
locate the problem. If a fault is intermittent, use of DTC
charts may result in replacement of good parts.
•
• Most intermittent problems are caused by faulty
electrical
connections or wiring. Perform careful
visual/physical
check as described at start of
"Symptoms," Section "6E2-B." Check for:
Poor mating
of the connector halves. or
terminal not fully seated in the connector body
(backed out).
Improperly formed or damaged terminal. All
connector
terminals in the problem circuit
should be carefully reformed or replaced to
insure proper contact tension.
Poor
terminal to wire connection. This
requires removing the
terminal from the
connector body to check. Refer to
SECTION 8
"Wiring Harness Service,"
If a visual/physical check does not find the cause
of the problem, the car can be driven with a
voltmeter connected to a suspected circuit. A
"Scan tool" can also be used to help detect
intermittent conditions. An abnormal
voltage, or
"Scan" tool reading, when the problem occurs,
indicates the
problem may be in that circuit. If the wiring
and connectors check
OK, and a DTC was
stored
for a circuit having a sensor, except for
DTC(s) 44 and 45, substitute a known good sensor
and recheck.
• Loss of DTC memory. To check, disconnect
throttle position (TP) sensor and idle engine until
"Check
Engine" malfunction indicator lamp comes
"ON". DTC 21 should be stored, and kept in
memory when ignition is turned "OFF". If not, the
Engine
Control Module (ECM) is faulty.
•
An intermittent "Check Engine" malfunction
indicator
lamp with no stored DTC may be caused
by:
Ignition coil shorted to ground and arcing at
spark
plug wires or plugs.
"Check
Engine" malfunction indicator lamp
wire to ECM shorted to ground.
Diagnostic
"test" terminal wire to ECM,
shorted to ground.
ECM grounds, refer to ECM wiring diagrams.
• Check for an electrical system interference caused
by a defective
relay, ECM driven solenoid, or
switch. They can cause a sharp electrical surge.
Normally, the problem will occur when the faulty
component is operated.
• Check for improper installation of electrical
options such as lights, 2 way radios, etc.
• Ignition control wires should be routed away from
spark plug wires, electronic ignition (EI) wires, El
housing, coil and generator. Ground wire from
ECM to El should have a good connection.
• If problem has not been found, refer to "ECM
Connector Symptom" charts at the end of
"Symptoms," Section "6E2-B."

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)
The Engine Control Module (ECM) (Fig. 6E2-50),
located under the instrument panel, is the control
center of the fuel injection system. If constantly looks
at the information from various sensors, and controls
the systems that affect vehicle performance. The ECM
also performs the diagnostic function of the system. It
can recognize operational problems, alert the driver
through the "Check Engine" malfunction indicator
lamp, and store a diagnostic trouble code or diagnostic
trouble codes which identify the problem areas to aid
the technician in making repairs.
See "Introduction"
Section "6E2" for more information on using the
diagnostic function
of the ECM.
For service, this ECM is replaced as a complete unit.
There are no serviceable parts in the
ECM. The
calibrations are stored in the
ECM in the Electronic
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
(EEPROM).
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)
FUNCTION
This ECM supplies either 5 to 12 volts to power various
sensors
or switches. This is done through resistances
in the
ECM which are so high in value that a test light
Fig. 6E2-50

6E2-1 02 DRIVEABILITV AND EMISSIONS
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor (Fig. 6E2-53)
The Throttle Position (TP) Sensor is a potentiometer
connected to the throttle shaft on the Throttle Body
(TB). The TP sensor electrical circuit consists of a 5
volts supply line (signal line) and a ground line,
provided by the Engine Control Module (ECM).
By
monitoring the voltage on the signal line the ECM
calculates throttle position. As the TB angle is changed
(accelerator pedal moved), the output
of TP sensor
also changes.
At a closed throttle position, the output
of the TP sensor is low (approximately 5volt). As the TB
opens, the output increases so that, at wide-open
throttle, the output voltage
will be between 4 and 5
volts.
The
ECM can determine fuel delivery based on TB
angle (driver demand). A broken or loose TP sensor
can cause intermittent bursts of fuel from the injector,
and
an unstable idle, because the ECM thinks the
throttle is moving. A problem in any
of the TP sensor
circuits should set a diagnostic trouble code
(DTC) 21.
Once a DTC is set, the ECM will use an artificial default
valueforTP sensor. A high idle will result when DTC 21
is set.
See
"On-Vehicle Service" for replacement or
adjustment
of TP sensor.
ECM
~--2. Throttle position
sensor (TPS)
Fig. 6E2-53
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor (Fig.
6E2-54)
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor
measures the changes in the intake manifold pressure
which result
from engine load and speed changes, and
converts this to a voltage output.
A closed throttle on engine coast
down would produce
a relatively
low MAP output, while a Wide Open
Throttle would produce a high output. MAP is the
OPPOSITE of what would be measured on a vacuum
gage. When manifold pressure is high, vacuum is low.
The
MAP sensor is also used to measure barometric
pressure under contain conditions, which
allows the
ECM to automatically adjust for different altitudes. The
ECM sends a 5 volts reference signal to the MAP
sensor. As the manifold pressure changes, the
electrical resistance
of the sensor also changes. By
monitoring the sensor output voltage, the ECM knows
the manifold pressure.
A higher pressure,
low vacuum (high voltage) requires
more fuel, while a lower pressure, higher vacuum (low
voltage) requires less
fuel.
A failure in the MAP sensor circuit should set a DTC 33.

Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
The Vehicle Speed Sensor, sends a pulsing voltage
signal to the
ECM, which the ECM converts to miles per
hour. This sensor helps to control the
operation
of the idle air control system.
See
ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSIS (SECTION 8A) for more
information.
Knock Sensor (KS) (DOHC only)
The Knock Sensor is mounted in the engine block.
When abnormal engine vibrations (spark knock) are
present, the sensor produces a voltage signal, which is
sent to the knock sensor module.
See
"Knock Sensor System," Section "6E2-C5" for
further information on the knock sensor system.
Air Conditioning (A/C) Request Signal
This signal tells the ECM that the Air Conditioning (A/C)
selector switch is turned
"ON". The ECM uses this to
adjust the idle speed, before turning
"ON" the A/C
clutch.
If this signal is not available to the ECM, the A/C
compressor will be inoperative.
See "A/C Compressor Clutch Control System", Section
"6E2-C1 0" for A/C wiring diagrams and diagnosis of
A/C electrical system.
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
This switch tells the ECM that the vehicle is in a parking
maneuver. The
ECM uses this information to
compensate
for the additional engine load by moving
the idle air control valve. The
ECM will also turn "OFF"
the A/C clutch when high pressure is detected.
