Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor responds
to changes in intake manifold pressure.  The MAP sensor
signal voltage to the ECM varies from below 2 volts at idle
(high vacuum) to above 4 volts.
The MAP sensor is used to determine the following:
Boost pressure for injector control.
Barometric pressure (BARO).
If  the  ECM  detects  a  voltage  that  is  lower  than  the
possible range of the MAP sensor, DTC P0107 will be set.
A  signal  voltage  higher  than  the  possible  range  of  the
sensor  will  set  DTC  P0108.   An  intermittent  low  or  high
voltage will set DTC P1107 or DTC P1106, respectively.
The  ECM  can  detect  a  shifted  MAP  sensor.    The  ECM
compares  the  MAP  sensor  signal  to  a  calculated  MAP
based on throttle position and various engine load factors.
If the ECM detects a MAP signal that varies excessively
above or below the calculated value, DTC P0106 will set.
Engine Control Module (ECM)
The engine control module (ECM) is located in the engine
room.
The  ECM  constantly  observes  the  information  from
various sensors.  The ECM controls the systems that
affect  vehicle  performance.    The  ECM  performs  the
diagnostic  function  of  the  system.    It  can  recognize
operational  problems,  alert  the  driver  through  the  MIL
(Service Engine Soon lamp), and store diagnostic trouble
codes (DTCs).  DTCs identify the problem areas to aid the
technician in making repairs.
ECM Function
The ECM supplies 5, 12 and 110 volts to power various
sensors  or  switches.    The  power  is  supplied  through
resistances in the ECM which are so high in value that a
test  light  will  not  light  when  connected  to  the  circuit.    In
some cases, even an ordinary shop voltmeter will not give
an  accurate  reading  because  its  resistance  is  too  low.
Therefore, a digital voltmeter with at least 10 megohms
input impedance  is  required to  ensure accurate voltage
readings.  The  ECM  controls  output  circuits  such  as  theinjectors,  glow  relays,  etc., by  controlling  the  ground  or
the  power  feed  circuit  through  transistors  or  through
either of the following two devices:
Output Driver Module (ODM)
Quad Driver Module (QDM)
ECM Components
The ECM is designed to maintain exhaust emission levels
to  government  mandated  standards  while  providing
excellent  driveability  and  fuel  efficiency.    The  ECM
monitors  numerous  engine  and  vehicle  functions  via
electronic sensors such as the crankshaft position (CKP)
sensor, and vehicle speed sensor (VSS).  The ECM also
controls certain engine operations through the following:
Fuel injector control
Rail pressure control
ECM Voltage Description
The ECM supplies a buffered voltage to various switches
and  sensors.    It  can  do  this  because  resistance  in  the
ECM is so high in value that a test light may not illuminate
when  connected  to  the  circuit.    An  ordinary  shop
voltmeter may not give an accurate reading because the
voltmeter input impedance is too low.  Use a 10-megohm
input  impedance  digital  voltmeter  to  assure  accurate
voltage readings.
The  input/output  devices  in  the  ECM  include
analog-to-digital  converters,  signal  buffers,  counters,
and special drivers.  The ECM controls most components
with electronic switches which complete a ground circuit
when  turned  “ON.”    These  switches  are  arranged  in
groups of 4 and 7, called either a surface-mounted quad
driver module (QDM), which can independently control up
to 4 output terminals, or QDMs which can independently
control up to 7 outputs.  Not all outputs are always used.
