NOTE: Components are grouped into 2 categories. The first category
covers INPUT DEVICES, which control or produce voltage
signals monitored by Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The
second category covers OUTPUT SIGNALS, which are components
controlled by PCM.
INPUT DEVICES
Vehicles are equipped with different combinations of input
devices. Not all input devices are used on all models. To determine
input device usage on specific models, see appropriate wiring diagram
in L - WIRING DIAGRAMS article. The following are available input
devices.
Air Conditioning Switch
When A/C is turned on, signal is sent to PCM. With engine at
idle, PCM increases idle speed through Idle Air Control (IAC) motor.
Airflow Sensor Assembly
Assembly is mounted inside air cleaner, and incorporates
barometric pressure sensor, intake air temperature sensor and volume
airflow sensor.
Barometric (BARO) Pressure Sensor
Sensor is incorporated into airflow sensor assembly. Sensor
converts barometric pressure to electrical signal, which is sent to
PCM. PCM adjusts air/fuel ratio and ignition timing according to
altitude.
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
On SOHC engines equipped with a distributor, CMP sensor is
located in distributor. On Eclipse (Turbo) and DOHC V6 engines, sensor\
is located beside camshaft, in front of engine. On all other engines,
CMP sensor is a separate unit mounted in place of distributor. PCM
determines TDC based on pulse signals received from sensor, and then
controls MFI timing.
Closed Throttle Position (CTP) Switch
CTP switch is located in the Throttle Position (TP) sensor.
PCM senses whether accelerator pedal is depressed or not. High voltage
(open) or low voltage (closed) signal is input to PCM, which then
controls Idle Air Control (IAC) motor based on input signal.
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
CKP sensor is located in distributor on SOHC engines, except
1.5L 4-cylinder with California emissions. On DOHC 4-cylinder, DOHC V6
and 1.5L 4-cylinder engines with California emissions, CKP sensor is
located beside crankshaft, in front of engine. PCM determines
crankshaft position on pulse signals received from sensor, and then
controls MFI timing and ignition timing.
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
ECT sensor converts coolant temperature to electrical signal
for use by PCM. PCM uses coolant temperature information to control
fuel enrichment when engine is cold.

article.
COMPUTERIZED ENGINE CONTROLS
CONTROL UNIT
NOTE: For Powertrain Control Module (PCM) location, see
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) LOCATION table. To identify
PCM power and ground terminals, see appropriate pin voltage
chart in J - PIN VOLTAGE CHARTS article. To identify PCM
power and ground circuits, see appropriate wiring diagram in
L - WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
Ground Circuits
1) Turn ignition off. Using an ohmmeter, check continuity
between chassis ground and PCM ground terminal(s). See Figs. 1-5.
Ohmmeter should indicate zero ohms. If reading is not as specified,
check and repair open circuit between PCM connector and chassis
ground. If reading is as specified, go to next step.
2) Connect voltmeter negative lead to chassis ground. Connect
positive lead to PCM ground terminal(s). With engine running,
voltmeter should indicate less than one volt. If reading is more than
one volt, check for open, corrosion or loose connection in ground
circuit.
Power Circuits
Turn ignition on. Check for battery voltage on both PCM power
terminals. See Figs. 1-5. If battery voltage is not present, check
operation of MFI relay. See RELAYS under MOTORS, RELAYS & SOLENOIDS.

INTRODUCTION
NOTE: Unless stated otherwise in testing procedures, perform all
voltage tests using a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a
minimum 10-megohm input impedance. Voltage readings may vary
slightly due to battery condition or charging rate.
Pin voltage charts are supplied to reduce diagnostic time.
Checking pin voltages at the PCM connector determines whether it is
receiving and transmitting proper voltage signals. Diagnostic charts
may also help determine if PCM harness is shorted or open.
TEST PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Shorting positive DVOM lead between connector terminal and
ground could damage vehicle wiring, sensor and PCM.
1) If necessary, remove Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to
access harness connector. For PCM location, see PCM LOCATION table.
Leave PCM connectors connected.
2) Using DVOM, backprobe terminals. Connect positive DVOM
lead to appropriate PCM terminal. Connect negative DVOM lead to PCM
ground terminal. For PCM terminal identification, see appropriate
chart. See Figs. 1-24.
3) All measurements are applicable to vehicle at normal
operating temperature at sea level. Unless otherwise noted, engine is
idling when specification requires engine running. Ensure transmission
shift selector is in Neutral or Park (as applicable). If DVOM displays\
measurement that is not within specification, see G - TESTS W/CODES
article.
