GENERAL INFORMATION
All 2.5L 4-cylinder and 4.0L 6-cylinder engines are
equipped with sequential Multi-Port Fuel Injection
(MFI). The MFI system provides precise air/fuel ra-
tios for all driving conditions.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) operates
the fuel system. The PCM was formerly referred to
as the SBEC or engine controller. The PCM is a pre-
programmed, dual microprocessor digital computer. It
regulates ignition timing, air-fuel ratio, emission con-
trol devices, charging system, speed control, air con-
ditioning compressor clutch engagement and idle
speed. The PCM can adapt its programming to meet
changing operating conditions.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Inputsrep-
resent the instantaneous engine operating conditions.
Air-fuel mixture and ignition timing calibrations for
various driving and atmospheric conditions are pre-
programmed into the PCM. The PCM monitors and
analyzes various inputs. It then computes engine fuel
and ignition timing requirements based on these in-
puts. Fuel delivery control and ignition timing will
then be adjusted accordingly.
Other inputs to the PCM are provided by the brake
light switch, air conditioning select switch and the
speed control switches. All inputs to the PCM are
converted into signals.
Electrically operated fuel injectors spray fuel inprecise metered amounts into the intake port directly
above the intake valve. The injectors are fired in a
specific sequence by the PCM. The PCM maintains
an air/fuel ratio of 14.7 to 1 by constantly adjusting
injector pulse width. Injector pulse width is the
length of time that the injector opens and sprays fuel
into the chamber. The PCM adjusts injector pulse
width by opening and closing the ground path to the
injector.
Manifold absolute pressure (air density) and engine
rpm (speed) are the primary inputs that determine
fuel injector pulse width. The PCM also monitors
other inputs when adjusting air-fuel ratio.
Inputs That Effect Fuel Injector Pulse Width:
²Exhaust gas oxygen content
²Engine coolant temperature
²Manifold absolute pressure (MAP)
²Engine speed
²Throttle position
²Battery voltage
²Air conditioning selection
²Transmission gear selection (automatic transmis-
sions only)
²Speed control
The powertrain control module (PCM) adjusts igni-
tion timing by controlling ignition coil operation. The
ignition coil receives battery voltage when the igni-
tion key is in the run or starter position. The PCM
JFUEL SYSTEM COMPONENT DESCRIPTION/SYSTEM OPERATION 14 - 19

provides a ground for the ignition coil. The coil dis-
charges when the PCM supplies a ground. By switch-
ing the ground path on and off, the PCM regulates
ignition timing.
The sensors and switches that provide inputs to
the powertrain control module (PCM) comprise the
Engine Control System. It is also comprised of the
PCM Outputs (engine control devices that the are op-
erated by the PCM).
SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
The powertrain control module (PCM) tests many
of its own input and output circuits. If a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is found in a major system, this
information is stored in the PCM memory. Refer to
On-Board Diagnostics in the MFI SystemÐGeneral
Diagnosis section of this group for DTC information.
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The PCM operates the fuel system. The PCM was
formerly referred to as the SBEC or engine control-
ler. The PCM is a pre-programmed, dual microproces-
sor digital computer. It regulates ignition timing, air-
fuel ratio, emission control devices, charging system,
speed control, air conditioning compressor clutch en-
gagement and idle speed. The PCM can adapt its
programming to meet changing operating conditions.
On XJ models, the PCM is located in the engine
compartment next to the air cleaner (Fig. 1). On YJ
models, the PCM is located in the engine compart-
ment behind the windshield washer fluid reservoir
(Fig. 2).
The PCM receives input signals from various
switches and sensors. Based on these inputs, the
PCM regulates various engine and vehicle operations
through different system components. These compo-
nents are referred to as PCM Outputs. The sensors
and switches that provide inputs to the PCM are con-
sidered PCM Inputs.The PCM adjusts ignition timing based upon in-
puts it receives from sensors that react to: engine
rpm, manifold absolute pressure, coolant tempera-
ture, throttle position, transmission gear selection
(automatic transmission), vehicle speed and the
brake switch.
The PCM adjusts idle speed based on inputs it re-
ceives from sensors that react to: throttle position,
vehicle speed, transmission gear selection, coolant
temperature and from inputs it receives from the air
conditioning clutch switch and brake switch.
Based on inputs that it receives, the PCM adjusts
ignition coil dwell. The PCM also adjusts the gener-
ator charge rate through control of the generator
field and provides speed control operation.

14 - 20 FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENT DESCRIPTION/SYSTEM OPERATIONJ

The engine will not operate if the PCM does not re-
ceive a crankshaft position sensor input.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSORÐPCM
INPUT
The engine coolant temperature sensor is installed
in the thermostat housing (Fig. 10) and protrudes
into the water jacket. The sensor provides an input
voltage to the powertrain control module (PCM) re-
lating coolant temperature. The PCM uses this input
along with inputs from other sensors to determine in-
jector pulse width and ignition timing. As coolant
temperature varies, the coolant temperature sensor's
resistance changes. The change in resistance results
in a different input voltage to the PCM.
When the engine is cold, the PCM will operate in
Open Loop cycle. It will demand slightly richer air-
fuel mixtures and higher idle speeds. This is done
until normal operating temperatures are reached.
Refer to Open Loop/Closed Loop Modes of Opera-
tion in this section of the group for more information.
EXTENDED IDLE SWITCHÐPCM INPUT
OPTIONAL POLICE PACKAGE ONLY
The extended idle switch is used to raise the en-
gine idle speed to approximately 1000 rpm. This is
when the shifter is in either the Park or Neutral po-
sition. A rocker-type 2-wire switch (extended idle
switch) is mounted to the instrument panel. This
switch will supply a ground circuit to the powertrain
control module (PCM).The switch is available
only with 4.0L engine when supplied with the
optional police package.
For testing and diagnosis of this switch and its cir-
cuit, refer to the MFI SystemÐGeneral Diagnosis
section of this group.
IGNITION CIRCUIT SENSEÐPCM INPUT
The ignition circuit sense input tells the powertrain
control module (PCM) the ignition switch has ener-
gized the ignition circuit. Refer to the wiring dia-
grams for circuit information.
MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP)
SENSORÐPCM INPUT
The MAP sensor reacts to absolute pressure in the
intake manifold. It provides an input voltage to the
powertrain control module (PCM). As engine load
changes, manifold pressure varies. The change in
manifold pressure causes MAP sensor voltage to
change. The change in MAP sensor voltage results in
a different input voltage to the PCM. The input volt-
age level supplies the PCM with information about
ambient barometric pressure during engine start-up
(cranking) and engine load while the engine is run-
ning. The PCM uses this input along with inputs
from other sensors to adjust air-fuel mixture.

JFUEL SYSTEM COMPONENT DESCRIPTION/SYSTEM OPERATION 14 - 23

AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) CLUTCH RELAYÐPCM
OUTPUT
The powertrain control module (PCM) activates the
A/C compressor through the A/C clutch relay. The
PCM regulates A/C compressor operation by switch-
ing the ground circuit for the A/C clutch relay on and
off. The relay is located in the power distribution
center (PDC) (Figs. 17 or 18). For the location of the
relay within the PDC, refer to label on PDC cover.
When the PCM receives a request for A/C from A/C
evaporator switch, it will adjust idle air control (IAC)
motor position. This is done to increase idle speed.
The PCM will then activate the A/C clutch through
the A/C clutch relay. The PCM adjusts idle air control
(IAC) stepper motor position to compensate for in-
creased engine load from the A/C compressor.By switching the ground path for the relay on and
off, the PCM is able to cycle the A/C compressor
clutch. This is based on changes in engine operating
conditions. If, during A/C operation, the PCM senses
low idle speeds or a wide open throttle condition, it
will de-energize the relay. This prevents A/C clutch
engagement. The relay will remain de-energized until
the idle speed increases or the wide open throttle
condition exceeds 15 seconds or no longer exists. The
PCM will also de-energize the relay if coolant tem-
perature exceeds 125ÉC (257ÉF).
AUTO SHUTDOWN (ASD) RELAYÐPCM OUTPUT
The ASD relay is located in the power distribution
center (PDC) (Figs. 17 or 18). For the location of this
relay within the PDC, refer to label on PDC cover.
The ASD supplies battery voltage to the fuel injec-
tors, ignition coil and generator field winding. The
ground circuit for the coil in the ASD relay is con-
trolled by the powertrain control module (PCM). The
PCM operates the relay by switching the ground cir-
cuit on and off.
The fuel pump relay is controlled by the PCM
through same circuit that the ASD relay is con-
trolled.
The powertrain control module (PCM) energizes
the fuel pump through the fuel pump relay. (The
PCM was formerly referred to as the SBEC or engine
controller). Battery voltage is applied to the relay
from the ignition switch. The relay is energized when
a ground is provided by the PCM. The relay is lo-
cated in the power distribution center (PDC) (Figs.
17 or 18). For the location of fuel pump relay within
PDC, refer to label on PDC cover.
For the 1995 model year, the ballast resistor and
ballast resistor bypass relay are no longer used to
control the fuel pump circuit.

14 - 26 FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENT DESCRIPTION/SYSTEM OPERATIONJ

The throttle body has an air control passage that
provides air for the engine at idle (the throttle plate
is closed). The IAC motor pintle protrudes into the
air control passage and regulates air flow through it.
Based on various sensor inputs, the powertrain con-
trol module (PCM) adjusts engine idle speed by mov-
ing the IAC motor pintle in and out of the air control
passage. The IAC motor is positioned when the igni-
tion key is turned to the On position.
A (factory adjusted) set screw is used to mechani-
cally limit the position of the throttle body throttle
plate.Never attempt to adjust the engine idle
speed using this screw.All idle speed functions are
controlled by the PCM.
IGNITION COILÐPCM OUTPUT
System voltage is supplied to the ignition coil pos-
itive terminal. The powertrain control module (PCM)
operates the ignition coil.Base (initial) ignition
timing is not adjustable.The PCM adjusts ignition
timing to meet changing engine operating conditions.
The ignition coil is located near the distributor
(Fig. 22).
Refer to Group 8D, Ignition System for additional
information.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMPÐPCM OUTPUT
The malfunction indicator lamp illuminates each
time the ignition key is turned on. It will stay on for
approximately three seconds as a bulb test. The lamp
is displayed on the instrument panel as the CHECK
ENGINE lamp (Figs. 23 or 24).
If the powertrain control module (PCM) receives an
incorrect signal, or no signal from certain sensors or
emission related systems, the lamp is turned on. This
is a warning that the PCM has recorded a system or
sensor malfunction. In some cases, when a problem is
declared, the PCM will go into a limp-in mode. This
is an attempt to keep the system operating. It signals
an immediate need for service.The lamp can also be used to display a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC). Cycle the ignition switch On-
Off-On-Off-On within three seconds and any codes
stored in the PCM memory will be displayed. This is
done in a series of flashes representing digits. Refer
to On-Board Diagnostics in the General Diagnosis
section of this group for more information.
RADIATOR FAN RELAYÐPCM OUTPUT
XJ MODELS ONLY
The electric radiator cooling fan used in XJ models
(equipped with 4.0L engine, heavy duty cooling
and/or air conditioning) is controlled by the power-
train control module (PCM) through radiator fan re-
lay. The relay is energized when coolant temperature
is above 103ÉC (217ÉF). It will then de-energize when
