''SCAN TOOL" ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM CHECK
The Diagnostic Circuit is an organized approach to identifying a problem created by an electronic engine control
system malfunction. It must be the starting point for any drive ability complaint diagnosis, because it directs the
service technician to the next
logical step in diagnosing the complaint.
The "Scan tool" data listed in the table may be used for comparison, after completing the on-board diagnostic
system check and finding the on-board diagnostics functioning
properly with no trouble codes displayed. The
"Typical Data Values" are an average of display values recorded from normally operating vehicles and are
intended
to represent what a normally functioning system would typically display.
A "SCAN tool" that displays faulty data should not be used, and the problem should be reported to the
manufacturer. The use of a faulty "SCAN tool" can result in misdiagnosis and unnecessary parts
replacement.
Only the parameters listed below are used in this manual for diagnosis. If a "Scan tool" reads other parameters,
the
values are not recommended for use in diagnosis. For more description on the values and use of the "Scan
tool" to diagnosis engine control module inputs, refer to the applicable component diagnosis section in
"Component System", Section "6E2-C". If all values are within the range illustrated, refer to "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

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.
Map sensor
Fig. 6E2-54
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.

6E2-1 04 DRIVEABILITV AND EMISSIONS
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
A "Scan tool" displays engine temperature in degrees
centigrade. After engine is started, the temperature
should rise steadily to about 90°C then stabilize when
thermostat opens. If the engine has not been run for
several hours (overnight), the engine coolant
temperature (ECT) and intake air temperature (IAT)
readings should be close to each other. A fault in the
ECT sensor circuit should set a diagnostic trouble code
(DTC) 14. The DTC charts also contain a chart to check
for sensor resistance values relative to temperature.
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
A "Scan tool" displays temperature of the air entering
the engine and
should read close to ambient air
temperature when engine
is cold, and rise as under
hood temperature increases.
If the engine has not
been run for several hours (overnight), the IAT sensor
temperature and
ECT readings should be close to each
other. A
failure in the IAT sensor circuit should set a
DTC 23. The DTC charts also contain a chart to check
for sensor resistance values relative to temperature.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (H02S)
The "Scan tool" has several positions that will indicate
the state
of the exhaust gases, Oxygen voltage,
integrator, and block learn. See "Scan tool" position
information in
"Introduction", "Driveability and
Emission," in this section.
A
problem in the oxygen sensor circuit, or fuel system,
should set a DTC 13 (open circuit), DTC 44 (lean
indication)/DTC 45 (rich indication). Refer to
applicable chart, if any of these DTC(s) were stored in
memory.
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
A "Scan tool" displays throttle position in volts. On 3.2L
engine, Throttle position
(TP) sensor voltage should
read below 0.85 volts, with throttle closed and ignition
"ON", or at idle. Voltage should increase at a steady
rate
as throttle is moved toward wide open throttle.
The Engine
Control Module (ECM) has the ability to
auto-zero the TP sensor voltage if it is below about 0.85
volts. This means that any voltage less than 0.85 volts
will
be determined by the ECM to be 0% throttle.
Some
"Scan tools" have the ability to read the throttle
angle and should read 0%, when the throttle is closed.
A failure in the TP sensor or circuit should set a DTC 21.
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
"Scan tool" displays manifold pressure in volts. Low
pressure (high vacuum) reads a
low voltage, while a
high pressure
(low vacuum) reads a high voltage. A
failure in the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor
circuit
should set a DTC 33 and using the chart will find
the cause
of the problem. A DTC 33 may be set if a
rough or unstable
idle exists. CHART C-1 D can also be
used
to check MAP sensor.
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
A "Scan tool" reading should closely match with
speedometer reading with drive wheels turning. A
failure in the vehicle speed sensor circuit should set a
DTC 24.
AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) Request Signal
When air conditioning in "ON", the "Scan tool" should
indicate air conditioning "ON".
See
"Air Conditioning Compressor Clutch Control
System",
Section "6E2-C1 0" for A/C electrical system
diagnosis.
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
A "Scan tool" should read "OFF" normally, and "ON"
with high pressure. This reading may vary with
different "Scan tools". Refer to CHART C-1 E for power
steering pressure switch diagnosis.
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Reference Signal
The ignition control module sends a signal to the ECM,
which is used to calculate proper spark advance and
fuel delivery. A "Scan tool" will read this signal and is
displayed in revolution per minute.
See "Electronic
Ignition System",
Section "6E2-C-4" for more
information on the ignition system (ignition control).
Park/Neutral Position (PNP) Switch
A "Scan tool" should read park/neutral position when
in park, or neutral, and R-D, L, when in drive or
overdrive. This reading may vary with different makes
of tools. Refer to CHART C-1 A for park/neutral position
switch diagnosis.
Knock Sensor (KS)
A "Scan tool" will indicate when the knock sensor
module signals the ECM that knock is present. See
"Knock
Sensor System," Section "6E2-C5" for further
information on the knock sensor system.
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)
The ECM is programmed from the factory and has no replaceable calibration chip.

POWER STEERING PRESSURE (PSP) SWITCH DIAGNOSIS
Circuit Description:
The Power Steering Pressure
(PSP) Switch is normally open to ground, and GRNIYEL wire will be near the battery
positive
voltage.
Turning the steering wheel increases power steering oil pressure and its load on an idling engine. The pressure
switch
will close before the load can cause an idle problem.
Closing
the switch causes GRN/YEL wire to read less than 1 volt. The Engine Control Module (ECM) will increase
the
idle air rate and disengage the air conditioning relay.
•
A pressure switch that will not close, or an open GRNIYEL wire, may cause the engine to stop, when power
steering loads are high.
• A switch that will not open or a GRNIYEL wire shorted to ground, may affect idle quality and will cause the air
conditioning
relay to be de-energized.

MINIMUM THROTTLE BODY (TB)
POSITION CHECK
The minimum throttle body (TB) position (throttle stop
screw) adjustment
for the 3.2L should not be
considered the
"minimum idle speed", as on other fuel
injected engines. Low internal friction and provision
for slight production variations and various operation
altitudes resulted in a calibrated
minimum TB position
which is too
low to allow most engines to idle. The
adjustment is preset at the factory and no further
adjustment should be necessary.
If there is a complaint of high idle speed, vacuum leaks
should be considered the
most likely cause. Because
the Engine
Control Module (ECM) "learns" Idle lAC, it is
even less likely
that a stalling complaint would be due
to
an incorrect minimum TB position. In either case,
the
"Symptoms," Section "6E2-B" and lAC valve check
CHART C-2C should be referred to.
If it is determined that the minimum TB position is
suspect,
be sure lAC valve is not "lost'' (not actually at
the location indicated by current
lAC "counts"). The
lAC valve could be "lost" if ECM power has been
interrupted
with the ignition "ON", or the lAC valve has
been disconnected
with the engine running since the
last reset,
as described previously in this section in the
"lAC Valve Assembly" general description.
DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS 6E2-127
The minimum TB position may be checked using the
following procedure.
1. Block drive wheels, and apply parking brake.
2. Connect "Scan tool" to the data link connector.
3. Start engine and allow to reach operating
temperature (about
go•q and "Closed Loop".
4. A/T-shift to DRIVE ("D") and then back to neutral
("N").
5. Select power steering pressure switch input on
"Scan tool". With air conditioning and all electrical
accessories
"OFF", transmission in natural, "Scan
tool" should read "OFF" or "NORMAL". (If not,
refer to
CHART C-1 E to diagnose and repair faulty
power steering pressure switch circuit before
proceeding).
Allow idle to stabilize.
6. Select lAC valve display on "Scan tool", and read
lAC valve counts. If between 5-45 counts, the
minimum
TB position adjustment is acceptable. It
is important to allow idle speed to stabilize to
assure correct counts are determined.
If counts in step 6 are too low, check for intake air
(vacuum) leaks at hoses,
TB and intake manifold or
damaged throttle lever and correct as necessary.
Also, refer to
CHART C-2C facing page "Diagnostic
Aids". If no vacuum leaks or other cause of
excessive air into the intake are found, it may be
necessary
to replace the TB to correct the low idle
speed problem. Refer to
"TB Replacement" in this
section.
If counts in Step 6 are too high, check for damaged
throttle lever or airflow restriction by the
TB. If no
problem is evident, remove inlet air
duct at the TB,
and
clean residue from inside of TB bore and from
edges of TB using carburetor cleaner and a shop
towel. (Do Not use a cleaner that contains methyl
ethyl ketone.
It is an extremely strong solvent, and
not necessary for this type of deposit). Re-check
"Scan tool" lAC valve counts, per the preceding
procedure.
If counts are still too high it may be necessary to
replace the
lAC valve or the TB assembly, If no
vacuum leaks are indicated
or engine loads are
present.
Minimum Throttle Body (TB) Position
(Non-Adjustable)
\fl CAUTION:
VI • It is extremely unlikely that this adjustment will
ever be necessary on a TB that has not been
tampered
with after production! If idle
revolution per minute is low, you may need
to
replace the TB to correct the low idle speed.

OPERATION
This system consists of a high pressure cut-out switch,
Air Conditioning (A/C) compressor
relay, A/C thermo
switch relay, A/C controller and the compressor.
The high pressure cut-out switch
(normally closed),
opens when the head pressure gets too high. This will
disable
the A/C clutch, before damage can occur to the
compressor or other
A/C components.
When
A/C control switch is "ON" and the high pressure
switch and thermo switch are
closed, a request signal
is sent to the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM
will then energize the A/C clutch through the A/C
clutch relay. The A/C controller which is separate from
the ECM will then turn the A/C cooling fan "ON".
The A/C controller controls the A/C cooling fan, as well
as sending a signal to the ECM on model equipped with
automatic transmission.
The
ECM will disable the A/C clutch during Wide Open
Throttle,
or high power steering loads. The ECM has a
slight delay for clutch engagement to allow for the idle
to slightly increase. Refer to CHART C-1 0 for wiring and
circuit description.
DIAGNOSIS
Chart C-10 should be used for the electrical portion of
the A/C circuit. Section 1 B should be used for
diagnosing the refrigerant portion of the system. The
"Scan tool" will be used in diagnosing the system, as it
has the ability to read the A/C request inputto the ECM,
as well as displaying when the ECM has commanded
the
A/C clutch "ON".
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
For removal and replacement of A/C components,
refer to
A/C (SECTION 1 B) in this Manual.
