ABSTRACT

This  report  presents  test  results  which  were  gathered  to  determine  the
suitability of  existing I/M  short tests  on a  Cadillac  car  with a  computer
based  emission  control system.   This car  had  a  microprocessor-based  engine
control system with throttle body  fuel injection (TBI), modulated  displacement
and a dual bed catalyst.

After  suitable  baselines  were  established,   various  components  were  made
inoperative in the emission control system.  Complete  FTP, HFET and I/M tests
were run for each vehicle condition.  Also an on-board system  diagnostic check
was performed for each configuration.

This report presents the measured data taken during  the tests.

1.0 BACKGROUND

Beginning with the 1981 model  year, electronics and computers control many of
the  vital  functions   of  automotive  operation  now  regulated  by  mechanical
means.  As  the  Inspection/Maintenance  effort is expanded  it is  a  prerequisite
that the  test  procedure used  by Inspection/Maintenance programs be  capable of
identifying  1981  and  later  model  year  vehicles  with equipment  failure  and
parameter maladjustment.  With the advent of  the  use  of   advanced  electronics
into automobiles, it  is necessary  to  evaluate  the  suitability of  existing and
proposed  I/M  tests to  these  future automobiles.   To  accomplish this  evalua-
tion,  several  prototype and  early production  cars containing  representative
electronics of the future have  been tested  according  to  both  the  Federal Test
Procedures  and  I/M test procedures.  The  data  obtained  should  indicate which
I/M  test  best  suits  these   automobiles.   This   report   presents  the  data
collected on the sixth  such automobile tested  by EPA,  a 1981  Cadillac  Seville
with  a microprocessor controlled emission control  system,  throttle body fuel
injection  (TBI),  and  modulated displacement.  This is  the first vehicle with
TBI  tested  in this series.  Since  TBI  systems may see widespread use  within
the  next  few  model years,  the results of  the  tests conducted on  this  vehicle
are of special interest.

2.0 HISTORY

The  Cadillac  Seville  is a 1981 production vehicle  rented  from a  local  rental
firm.  This particular  vehicle which has a  low  altitude emission certification
was  obtained from  the  rental agency on 2 February  1981  with 1144 miles  on the
odometer.   One  day was allowed  for vehicle preparation,  and  baseline  testing
started on 4 February 1981.

After  two baseline sequences  were accomplished, the vehicle  was  tested with
eight  different  component  deactivations.   One  final confirmatory  baseline
sequence was then run.  Testing was completed on 3  March 1981.

-------
3.0 TESTING PROCEDURE

In order to test the vehicle the following test sequence was used:

    a. Federal  Test Procedure (FTP)  1979  procedure,  non-evaporative, no  heat
    build.

    b. 50 MPH  Cruise.   This test consists of  a  three minute steady  state  run
    at 50 MPH.  HC  and  CO measurements  are taken with a garage  type  analyzer.
    This test is performed with the hood open  and  fan on.   The  three  minute 50
    MPH  cruise  also serves  as preconditioning  for  the  highway fuel  economy
    test.

    c. Highway Fuel Economy Test (HFET).  Immediately after the  50 MPH cruise.

    d. On-Board System  Diagnostic  Check.   This  check took  advantage of  the
    on-board self-diagnostic  system  used  on 1981 GM  products.   See Attachment
    3 for a description of the system.

Each of  the  following  steps required a  six minute idle preconditioning,  hood
open, fan on.

    e. Four  Mode Idle  Test  with raw HC/CO garage  type  analyzer.    Emissions
    were  tested  at  Idle  (neutral),  2500  rpm,   Idle  (neutral),   and   Idle
    (drive).  The hood was open and  the  fan was on.

    f. Loaded  Two  Mode.  Raw  HC  and  CO  measurements were  taken  with  the
    dynamometer  set at  9.0  A.H.P.   at  30 MPH with  the  I.W.  = 1750  pounds.
    Immediately afterward, measurements  were  taken at  idle (neutral) using a
    garage type analyzer.  The hood  was  open and the fan was on.

    g.  Propane  Injection  Procedure  for  three  way  catalyst  vehicles.   A
    description of this test and a sample data sheet are given in Attachment 1.

    Note: This  propane  injection  procedure  is still  in the development stage.
    Bear  in mind  when  reviewing  the  obtained  data that  this is  still  an
    experimental procedure.
                              %
I/M  test  HC and CO  measurements  were recorded before  and  after the  dual  bed
catalyst.  A worksheet recording the I/M test  results  is shown in Attachment 2.

4.0 VEHICLE DESCRIPTION

The  Cadillac used   for  this  testing was  a   production  vehicle  with a   low
altitude Emission Package.  The most  important components of this automobile's
emission  control  system were  the  sensors,  actuators,  and  the  microprocessor
unit.  A  complete  description of these  components is  given  in Attachment  3.
Attachment 4 lists specific vehicle  parameters.

-------
5.0 BASELINE DATA

To accurately determine  the  effect of the various  component  deactivations,  it
was necessary to have an  accurate baseline determined  for each  pollutant  in
each  mode  of  every  test  type.   This  baseline  data  is  displayed  with  the
component deactivation data.

6.0 TEST CONFIGURATIONS

After the  baseline testing was  completed,  various  components of  the  emission
control system were, one by one, deactivated prior to vehicle testing.

    a. EGO Sensor  Lead  Disconnected and  Open Circuited - Test  numbers  80-7658
    and  80-7659  were  run with  the  exhaust   gas  oxygen  (EGO)  sensor  dis-
    connected.  The EGO  sensor  supplies  a voltage signal  to the microprocessor
    based on the  oxygen  content of the exhaust stream. ' By disconnecting  this
    sensor  and  leaving  the  lead  open circuited the  microprocessor senses  a
    near zero voltage and  the closed-loop system is  deactivated.

    b.  EGO  Sensor Lead  Disconnected  and  Short   Circuited   -  Test  numbers
    80-7661  and 80-7662 were  run  with  the exhaust  gas oxygen  (EGO)  sensor
    disconnected with the  microprocessor input  lead  shorted.   Shorting  the  EGO
    sensor lead  guaranteed a  zero voltage input to  the microprocessor.   These
    tests were designated EGO shorted.

    c.  Throttle. Position  Sensor  Disconnected  -  Test  numbers  80-7663  and
    80-7664  were  run  with  the  throttle  position   sensor  (TPS)  electrically
    disconnected.   This  sensor  provides the  microprocessor  with  information
    regarding the throttle  blade angle.   Disconnecting  this  device  gives  a
    fixed closed throttle  input to the microprocessor.

    d.  Coolant  Temperature  Sensor  Disconnected  —  Test  numbers  80-7665  and
    80-7666  were  run  with  the  coolant temperature  sensor  (CTS)  disconnected.
    Because  the oxygen  sensor  does not  perform  properly  until  it reaches  a
    specified temperature, the  coolant  sensor  informs the  feedback  control
    system  to  operate in  open-loop mode until  temperature is  reached.   With
    the CTS disconnected the  system runs  in an open—loop mode.
                             ^
    e. Manifold Absolute Pressure  Sensor Disconnected  —  Test numbers  80-7667
    and  80-7668 were  run  with  the  manifold  absolute  pressure  sensor  (MAP)
    electrically  disconnected.    Disconnecting  the   MAP  sensor  sends  a  high
    manifold  pressure  (low  vacuum)  signal  to the  microprocessor.   A  high
    manifold pressure  is indicative of a high  load  situation  and  consequently
    the microprocessor provides additional fuel.

    f. PROM  Errors -  Test  numbers 80-7669 and  80-7670 were run with one  PROM
    (programmable  read only memory)  chip removed completely and  the  other  PROM
    chip  installed with the  aft  pin row  insulated  from  the  computer.   The
    PROMs  contain engine  calibration data  that  is permanently  retained  and
    programmed  by the  factory.   Disabling  the PROMs  caused  the vehicle  to
    operate with random unknown calibration.

-------
    g.  Throttle  Position  Sensor Shorted  - Test  numbers  80-7673  and 80-7674
    were  run  with  the  IPS  leads  shorted.   This  sensor  provides  the  micro-
    processor with  information regarding  the  throttle blade  angle.  Shorting
    this device gives a fixed full open input to the microprocessor.

    h. Manifold Air Temperature  Sensor  Disconnected - Test numbers 80-7675 and
    80-7676 were  run  with the manifold air temperature sensor  (MAT) electri-
    cally disconnected.  With  the MAT open circuited the microprocessor senses
    a low temperature signal.

7.0 TEST RESULTS

The test results are given in several attachments.

    a. The FTP  and HFET results  are given in  Attachment  5.  The  HC,  CO,  C02
    and  NOx  readings are  in  grams/mile  while  fuel economy  is  in  miles  per
    gallon.  Two  disablements,  manifold absolute  pressure  sensor disconnected
    and PROM errors, produced very high FTP HC and CO emissions.

    b. Attachment 6 presents the standard  I/M  test data.   Values  are given for
    readings taken  before  and after  the  catalyst.   All  I/M short  tests  were
    able to identify the major FTP failures.

    c. Attachment  7 presents  the results  of the  propane  injection diagnostic
    procedure for three-way catalyst vehicles.

    d.  Attachment  8  presents  the  results of  the on-board system diagnostic
    check.   In   each  case  the  trouble  code  output  identified   the  induced
    malfunction (diagnostic system inoperative indicates a  PROM malfunction).

                      Description of the 3-Way Closed Loop
                             Propane Test Procedure


Vehicles  shall  be  in  a  fully  warmed-up  condition  prior  to  beginning  this
procedure.  Vehicles  with  manual transmissions will be tested  in  idle Neutral
only.  Prior  to  the test,  the  vehicle  shall be  operated  at 2500 rpm  for two
full minutes.

This procedure will be  performed in both Neutral and Drive  gears  for vehicles
with automatic transmissions.   The  entire  procedure, steps  1-6, will first  be
performed  with  the  vehicle  in  Neutral  gear.    The  vehicle  shall  then  be
operated  at  2500 rpm  for  two  minutes,  brought  back  to  idle,  and  placed  in
Drive gear for a repetition of steps 1-6.

Step 1: Present the propane flow rate to 4  CFH.

Step 2: With no propane flowing into the vehicle record idle RPM and idle CO.

Step 3: Induce propane  to  the  air  inlet  of  the carburetor and  observe  the
        engine behavior.

        a.  If the  engine  RPM  rises to a  maximum  value  and  then  decreases,
        record the maximum RPM value.

        If the engine RPM  value  rises to a maximum value  and continues  to run
        at that speed, record that RPM value.  This  RPM value will  be the same
        as the RPM value to be recorded  in  step 4.

        b. If the  engine  RPM falls  to a minimum  value  and  then rises,  record
        the minimum value.

        If the engine RPM  falls to a minimum  value and  continues  to  run  at
        that speed, record that RPM value.

Note:   The importance of  closely observing  the engine speed change  immediate-
        ly after  induction of  propane  and until  the  engine speed  stabilizes
        cannot be  overstressed.   The success or  failure  of this procedure  as
        an I/M test key upon the ability of  the technician  to make a  real time
        observation of the  behavior  of the engine,  observable in engine  speed,
        when propane is introduced.

        An analog  (meter  type)  tachometer  must be used.   A  digital  tachometer
        will not shown maximum or minimum transient engine speeds.

        c. Self explanatory

        d. If engine dies terminate test at this point.

-------
        e. If  engine  speed remains  constant (neither  rises  nor falls)1 after
        induction of propane record a yes value  (1).

Step 4: When engine  stabilizes  (not  to exceed  60 seconds)  and with  propane
        flowing record idle RPM and idle CO.

Step 5: Withdraw the  propane  supply  from  the vehicle  and  observe  the  engine
        behavior as in Step 3.

Step 6: When engine stabilizes (not  to  exceed 60 seconds)  record idle  RPM  and
        idle CO.

Note:   If the  engine behaves in an  unusual  manner  add narrative comments  in
        the data sheet margins.

                              DIGITAL FUEL  INJECTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION

    The Digital Fuel Injection (DPI) is a speed density fuel
system that accurately controls the air/fuel mixture into the
engine in order to achieve desired performance and emission
goals. The Manifold  Absolute Pressure sensor (MAP),
Manifold  Air  Temperature  sensor  (MAT),  and  the
Barometric Pressure sensor (BARO) are used to determine
the' density (amount) of air entering the engine.  The HEI
distributor provides engine speed  information (P>.PM), see
Figure 6C-65. This information is fed to the Electronic
Control Module (ECM), and the ECM performs high speed
digital computations to determine the proper amount of fuel
necessary to achieve the desired air fuel mixture. Once the
ECM has calculated how much fuel to deliver, it signals the
fuel injectors to meter the fuel into the throttle body. When
the  combustion  process  has  been  completed,  some
hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO),  and nitrous
oxides (NOx)  result; therefore, each DPI engine has an
emission system  to clean these gases  out of the exhaust
stream. The. catalytic converter converts these gases into
more inert gases, however, the conversion process is most
efficient (l°wer emission levels) at an air/fuel mixture of
14.7/1.                                         -     -
    Since the ECM  controls the air/fuel  mixture  by
metering fuel, the ECM would be  more accurate  if it could
check its output  and  correct the air/fuel mixture for.
deviations from the ideal ratio of 14.7/1. The oxygen sensor
monitors these exhaust gases and sends the information to
the ECM which decides if any corrections  are necessary.
This correction process is known as closed loop operation.
Because a vehicle is driven under a wide range of operating
conditions, the ECM must provide the correct quantity of
fuel  under all operating  conditions. Therefore, additional
sensors  and switches  are  necessary to  determine  what
operating conditions exist so that the ECM can provide an
acceptable  level  of  driveability  under  all   operating
conditions. See Figure 6C-66  for a component diagram.
    In  summary, closed loop DFI  operation provides
acceptable levels of driveability and fuel economy while
improving emission levels.

    Each   subsystem   is  described  in  the   following
paragraphs.

1. Fuel Delivery System
    Figure 6C-67  shows the  various components which
comprise the fuel delivery system. The fuel is pumped from
the fuel tank through the supply line and through the fuel
filter to the throttle body. The throttle body contains the
pressure  regulator  which  regulates fuel  pressure to  a
nominal value of 10.5 psi and the fuel injectors which meter
the fuel into the throttle body.  The injectors are located
above the throttle blades and direct atomized fuel into the
throttle bores. The ECM controls the timing and  the
amount of fuel injected into the engine. Any excess fuel is
returned to the fuel tank through the fuel return lines,

a. Fuel Pump
    An electric motor driven twin turbine type pump is
integral with the fuel  tank float unit, and the fuel  pump
supplies fuel to the throttle body at a positive fuel pressure.
The pump  is not repairable; however,  the pump may  be
serviced separately from the fuel gage unit.
    The ECM controls the operation of the fuel pump by
activating the fuel  pump relay located in the  relay  panel.
When  the ignition is placed in the on or start position, the
fuel pump is turned on. If'ihe engine is not cranked within
one second of turning the ignition on,  the fuel pump is
turned off. The fuel pump circuit is protected by a 10 amp
fuse located in the mini fuse block.

b. Fuel Tank

    The fuel  tank incorporates a reservoir directly  below
the pump assembly. The "bath tub"  shaped reservoir
ensures  a constant supply of fuel for the fuel pump even
when the fuel is low or when severe maneuvering conditions
arc encountered.    .    •

c. Fuel Filter

    The fuel  filter consists of a casing  which encloses a
paper filter element. .The filter element is capable of filtering
foreign particles of the 10  micron size out of the fuel. The
filter element  is a throwaway type and should be replaced
(AC type GF-157 or equivalent) as described in the Vehicle
Maintenance Schedule. The filter is mounted on the frame
near the left rear wheel.

d. Fuel Pressure Regulator

    The fuel pressure regulator, Figure  6C-68,  is  ari
integral part of the throttle body. The valve, which regulates
pressure, is a diaphragm-operated relief valve in which one
side of the valve senses fuel pressure and the oilier side is
exposed to atmospheric  pressure. Nominal  pressure  is
established by the pre-load of a spring. The fuel pressure
regulator maintains  a  constant pressure  drop  across the
injectors. Fuel in excess of that used to maintain a constant
pressure drop is returned through the fuel return line to the
fuel tank.  The. regulator  is serviced as part- of the  fuel
metering assembly.

information to the ECM. The sensor is a thermistor whose
resistance changes as a function of temperature. When the
temperature is low, the resistance is high and the resistance
decreases as the temperature increases.            '   '  •

b. Coolant Temperature Sensor

    The coolant temperature sensor is  similar  in  function
to the MAT sensor and is installed  in the right front corner
of the engine directly below the thermostat. This sensor
provides coolant temperature information to the ECM for
fuel enrichment, ignition timing, EGR  operation, canister
purge control, air management, EFE operation, closed loop
fuel control, and modulated displacement.

c. Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor  {IV1AP)

    The Manifold  Absolute  Pressure  (MAP)  Sensor
monitors the changes  in intake manifold pressure which
result from engine load and speed changes. These pressure
changes are supplied to the ECM in the form of electrical
signals.  As intake manifold pressure increases, additional
fuel is required. The MAP sensor sends this information to
the.ECM and the ECM increases the  injector .on time (or
pulse width). Conversely as manifold pressure decreases, the
pulse width will be shortened. The MAP sensor is mounted
under the instrument panel  near the right-hand A/C outlet
and is connected, electrically to the ECM. A hose from  the
throttle  body provides  a signal to the sensor.

d. Barometric Pressure Sensor (BARO)

    This unit senses ambient or barometric pressure and
provides information to the ECM on ambient pressure
changes due  to altitude and/or weather. The sensor is
mounted under the. instrument  panel  near the right-hand
A/C outlet and it sends an electrical signal to the ECM. The
sensors'  atmospheric opening is covered by a foam filter.

e. throttle Position Sensor (TPS)

    The Throttle Position  Sensor is a  variable  resistor
mounted on the throttle body and  is connected to  the
throttle valve shaft. Movement of the accelerator causes the
throttle shaft to rotate, and  throttle shaft rotation opens or
closes the  throttle blades.  The sensor determines  shaft
position  (throttle  angle) and transmits  the  appropriate

•.-lades,  sec  Figure 6C-69.  The  valve body  contains  a
.-olenoid whose plunger or corepiece is pulled upward by the
olefioid coil. When  the solenoid coil is energized, the
vhtrsaer is raised and the  spring pushes the ball valve away
from the valve seat. Fuel  flows through the valve. Since the
pressure regulator maintains a constant pressure drop across
the injectors, the quantity of fuel injected is determined by
how long  the valve is held open.

f. Fuel Unas
    A 3/8" fuel delivery line is routed along the left frame
side rail between the fuel pump/sending unit assembly and
;he throttle  body. A  teflon hose covered  with braided
stainless steel is used to provide high system integrity and
protection against abrasion.
    The fuel return line is 5/16" in diameter and is routed
along the  right frame side rail. This line is also teflon hose
covered with braided stainless steel.
2. Air Induction System
    Air  for combustion enters  the  throttle body and is
distributed to each cylinder through the intake manifold. A
special distribution skirt  is added to the throttle body
assembly directly below each fuel injector to improve  fuel
distribution from the  injector to the  intake manifold. The
nir flow rate is controlled  by the throttle valves which arc
connected to the accelerator pedal linkage, icne speeu u.
determined  by  position  of the  throttle  valves  and  is
controlled -by the Idle Speed Control (ISC).

a. Throttle Body
    The throttle body consists of a housing with two bores
and two throttle blades mounted on a common shaft. One
end of the throttle shaft connects to the accelerator pc-c'al
by means  of mechanical linkage and the other end of  the
throttle shaft connects to the throttle position sensor. Skirts
which are  shaped like inverted cones have been added to  the
bores in order to improve fuel mixing and distribution.

b. Intake Manifold
    The aluminum single plane intake manifold is designed
especially  for DPI engines with MD. The EFE heat riser
system requires the use of an exhaust heat crossover passage.
Refer to Section 6E of the Service Manual for a description
of EFE operation.

3. Data Sensors
    The component diagram ( Figure 6C-66) lists the data
sensors and illustrates how the data sensors are interrelated.
Each data sensor will be described below:  .  - •

a. Manifold Air Temperature Sensor (MAT)
    The  Manifold Air Temperature (MAT)  sensor  is
installed in the intake manifold in front of the throttle body.
This sensor measures the temperature of  the fuel/air
mixture  in   the  intake  manifold  end  provides this

6C-40 ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM
electrical signal to the ECM.  The ECM processes  these
signals and uses the throttle angle information to operate
the idle speed control system and to supply fuel enrichment
as the throttle blades are opened.

f. Vehicle Speed Sensor
    The vehicle speed sensor informs the ECM as-to how
fast the vehicle is being driven. The ECM uses this signal
for the logic required  to operate the MPG sentinel, the
integral  Cruise Control,  the modulated  displacement
feature, and the idle speed control system.
    The speed sensor produces a weak signal. Therefore, a
buffer amplifier is placed between the speed sensor and the
ECM to amplify the speed signal. The speed sensor and the
buffer amplifier are located behind the speedometer cluster.
Additional information on the speed sensor can be found
under the Cruise Control section of this Service Manual and
the 1980 Service Manual.                          .-  .

g. Oxygen Sensor
    The oxygen sensor used in the DPI system consists of
a closed  end Zirconia sensor placed  in the engine exhaust
gas stream. This sensor generates a very weak voltage which
varies with the oxygen content of the exhaust stream. As
the oxygen content of the exhaust stream increases relative
to the surrounding  atmosphere, a  lean fuel mixture is
indicated by a low voltage output; as the oxygen content in
the exhaust stream decreases, a rich fuel mixture is indicated
by a rising voltage output from the sensor.
    When the oxygen  sensor is warm (above 200'Q, the
output voltage swings betsveen 200 millivolts (lean mixture)
and  800  millivolts (rich  mixture).  However,  when the
oxygen sensor is cold (below 200°C).

    NOTICE: No attempt should be made to measure the
    oxygen sensor output voltage, as the current drain of
    any conventional  voltmeter would be  enough  to
    permanently damage the sensor, shifting its calibration
    range and rendering it unusable. Similarly, no jumpers,
    test leads, or other electricai connections should ever
    be made to the sensor, but only, to the harness after
    disconnection from the sensor. The oxygen sensor has
    a permanently connected pigtail, with a Weatherpack
    environmental connector  joining  it to  the engine
    control harness.

h. Engine Speed Sensor (Distributor)
    The engine speed signal comes from the seven terminal
HEI module in the distributor. Pulses from the distributor
are sent  to the ECM where the time between these pulses
is used to calculate engine  speed. The ECM adds spark
advance modifications  to the signal and sends this signal
back to the distributor.

4. Electronic Control  Module (ECM)
    The Electronic Control Module monitors and controls
all DFI  system functions. The switches and data sensors
which the ECM monitors are  listed in Figure 6C-66. The
data sensors supply  analog signals  to the ECM and the
input/output devices convert these signals to digital signals.
The signals must be  in digital format because the central
processing unit can  only manipulate  digital information.
The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the brain of the ECM
  and the CPU performs all mathematical computations and
  logic  functions necessary to deliver the proper  air/fuel
  mixture. The CPU also  calculates spark timing and idle
  speed  and it commands the  operation of  the  emission
  systems,  closed   loop   fuel  control.  Cruise  Control,
  diagnostics, and modulated displacement. The CPU can
  accomplish  all  of  these  functions  by  following  the
  instructions which  have been programmed into the memory
  of the  ECM.
     There are three types of memory in the  ECM:
     1. Read Only  Memory (ROM)
     2. Random Access Memory (RAM)
     3. Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM)
     When ROM  memory  is  programmed,  the  program .
  cannot be changed  and information can only read from the
  memory. If battery voltage is lost, the instructions in ROM
  memory will be retained.
     Random access memory is the scratch pad for the CPU.
  Information can be read into or out of RAM memory hence
  it is called scratch pad memory. Engine sensor information,
  diagnostic  codes,  and  the results  of calculations  are
  temporarily stored  here. If the battery voltage is removed,
  all  the information in RAM memory is lost (similar to a
  hand held calculator when  the switch is turned oft}.
     Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM) contains
  engine calibration data for each engine, transmission, body,
  and rear  axle  ratio. PROM  will  always  retain  this
.  information permanently even if battery voltage is removed,
  and it can be programmed by the factory  easily. These
  memory devices are removable from the ECM.
     To demonstrate how the  ECM  operates, the events
  which  occur when  the ignition switch is turned on will be
  listed:
     1. The ECM receives the ignition ON signal.
     2. The Fuel Pump is activated by the ECM. (The pump
  will operate for approximately  one second only, unless the
  engine is being cranked or has started).
     3.  All engine   sensors  are  activated  and begin
  transmitting signals to the ECM.
     4. The EGR solenoid is activated to block the vacuum
  signal  to the EGR  valve.
     5.  The "check  engine"  and  "coolant"  lights  are
  illuminated as a functional  check of the bulb and circuit. •
     6. The HEI bypass line is pulled down to 0 volts.
     The following  events occur when the engine is cranked.
     1. The 12 volt crank signal is sent to the ECM.
     2. The fuel pump is operating.  •
     3.  After a short prime pulse,  injectors alternately
  deliver a fuel pulse on each distributor reference pulse.
                                                      ^
     4. The engine  sensors continue to transmit signals to
  the ECM.
     5. The other  events are similar  to  the  events which
  occur when the ignition is on.
     The following  events occur when the engine starts.-
     1. The crank signal is removed from the ECM.
     2. The injectors deliver fuel pulses alternately for each
  distributor reference pulse.
     3. The HEI bypass line is pulled up to 5  volts and the
  HEI module receives spark advance signals from the ECM.
     4. The ISC motor begins  to control idle speed if the
  throttle switch is closed.

                                                   a./
                                                                          ,.. ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM  6C-41
    5. The fuel pump operates continuously.
    6. The pressure regulator maintains fuel pressure at
10.5 psi by returning excess fuel  to the fuel lank.
    7. The other events are  similar to the events which
occur v/hen the ignition is on.
    The ECM's control of fuel delivery can be considered
in three basic modes: cranking, normal operation, and wide
open throttle. If the 12 volt cranking signal indicates that
the engine is cranking, injectors  alternately deliver a fuel
pulse  for every distributor reference pulse. However, if the
engine should flood,  smaller alternating fuel pulses  are
delivered if the throttle is held open and if cranking exceeds
approximately 3 seconds.
    When the  cranking signal is  removed, the injectors
deliver fuel pulses alternately for every distributor reference
pulse. The ECM adjusts the injector pulse width to account
for operating  conditions  such  as  idle,  part throttle,
acceleration, deceleration,  and altitude.
    The MAP, I3ARO and TPS sensors inform the ECM
that a wide open throttle condition  occurred and the ECM
supplies additional fuel enrichment.

5. Electronic Spark Timing (EST)

    The Electronic Spark Timing system consists of the
ECM and  a modified HEI distributor which use a 7 terminal
HEl module. The HEI distributor is designed to provide
high secondary output voltages to the spark plugs and  is a
maintenance free  unit. The HE! distributor communicates
to the ECM through a 4 terminal connector which contains
four circuits.  These four circuits  are:
    1. The Distributor reference circuit
    2. The bypass circuit
    3. The EST circuit
    4. The ground circuit
    Whenever the pickup coil signals the HEI  module to
open  the  primary circuit,  it  also sends the spark timing
signals to  the ECM through the  reference line.
    When the  voltage on  the HEI bypass  line is 0 volts
(engine cranking), the HEI module is forced into bypass
mode which means that the HEI  module provides of spark
advance at buse timing and disregards the  spark advance
signal from the ECM. If the voltage on the HEI bypass  line
is 5 volts (engine running), the  HEI  module accepts  the
spark timing signal provided  by the ECM.
    .The  ECM monitors  engine speed  through the HEI
reference  line and engine operating conditions through the
data sensors, and  then the ECM calculates the proper spark
advance from  these  parameters.  The spark  advance  is
supplied to the HEI distributor through the EST line.

6. Idle Speed Control (ISC)
    The idle speed control system controls the engine speed
when the throttle switch is closed. The idle speed control
system includes the electric actuator (ISC motor), the  idle
switch (throttle switch), and  the ECM. The ISC motor is
a DC reversible motor which has the throttle switch as an
integral part  of the ISC motor plunger, see Figure 6C-70.
The throttle lever rests against the ISC motor plunger which
extends and retracts to change the throttle blade angle. The
position of  the idle switch determines whether the  ISC
motor slMukl control the idle ^pecd  or not. When the switch
is closed by the throttle lever resting against the end of the
plunger, the ECM issues the appropriate commands to the
ISC motor in order to maintain the programmed idle speed.
The ECM monitors the data sensors to determine when to
increase or decrease throttle blade angle. When the throttle
lever moves away from the ISC motor plunger, the throttle
switch opens  and  the  ECM stops  sending idle  speed
adjustments to  the ISC  motor because  the  driver  is
controlling  the engine speed. When the engine is shut off,
the ISC  motor fully  extends  its plunger and opens the
throttle blades so that the idle speed will be fast enough to
start the  car. When an engine  is cold, the ECM  holds the
throttle valve open  for a longer period of time to provide
faster warmup time.
       Figure 6C-70 Idle Speed Control Actuator (iSC)


7. Emission Controls

a. EGR Operation

    The ECM controls  the operation of the EGR system.
Whenever the EGR solenoid is energized by the ECM, the
EGR system  is  disabled (no exhaust gas  is recirculated
through the intake manifold). When the EGR solenoid is
cleenergized, the  EGR system is enabled and exhaust gas is
recirculated through the intake  manifold.
    Refer to Section 6E and SD of the Service Manual  for
additional  information about the operation of the EGR
system.

b. Air Management  Operation

    The ECM controls the operation of the air management
system. The  air  pump delivers  air to the divert (control)
valve which sends the air to the air cleaner or the switching
valve.  The  switching valve sends  the air either to the
catalytic converter or the exhaust ports of the engine,
    When  the engine is  cold, the air is sent to the exhaust
ports of the engine. The  ECM energizes tho  air control and
air switching solenoids by supplying ground signah to the
solenoids. The air flows  through the divert  (control valve)
a;\d the switching valve  to the exhaust ports.
    When  the engine is  warm and operating normally,"the
air is sent to the catalytic converter. The ECM energizes the
divert solenoid by supplying a ground signal to the divert
solenoid  and deenergix.cs  the switching solenoid,  by
removing the ground signal to the solenoid. The air Hews
through the divert  (control) valve (solenoid  e;;,ergi7ed) ?.:-.d
the switching valve (solenoid deencrgi/ec!) to '.he ca-nlytic
converter.     .       -.                            .     .

-------
,6C-42  ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM
    When the engine is decelerating quickly, the air is sent
(diverted) to the air cleaner to prevent backfiring. The ECM
deenergizes  the divert solenoid by  removing the ground
signal to the divert solenoid. The air flows through the divert
valve (solenoid deenergized) to the air cleaner.  .

c. Canister Purge Control Operation

    The ECM controls the operation of the canister purge
control system. When the engine is cold, there is no vacuum
to the canister control line. The ECM energizes the canister
purge control solenoid by supplying a ground signal to the
solenoid. When the solenoid is energized, the vacuum to the
canisP.T purge control  line is blocked.
    When the engine is at  normal operating temperature,
vacuum is supplied  to  the canister purge control solenoid.
The ECM deenergizes the canister purge control solenoid
by removing the ground  signal to the solenoid. When the
solenoid is  deenergized,  the vacuum  is supplied to  the
canister purge control.

8. Closed Loop Fuel Control

    The purpose of closed loop fuel control is to precisely
maintain an air/fuel mixture of 14.7/1.  When the air/fuel
mixture is maintained  at  14.7/1, the catalytic converter is
able to operate at maximum efficiency which  means lower
emission  levels. Since the ECM  controls  the  air/fuel
mixture, it needs  to check  its output and  correct the fuel
mixture  for deviations from the  ideal ratio.  The oxygen
sensor .feeds this output information back  to the ECM.

9. Syytem Diagnostics

    The  DPI  diagnostic routine has four types of  tests
which may be utilized if the situation warrants it. These four
tests arc:
    1. The engine malfunction tests
    2. Switch tests
    3. Engine data  displays
    4. Output cycling tests
    "!'!.•: engine malfunction tests detect system failures or
abnorm/iities. When these malfunctions occur, the ECM
will turn on the amber "check engine" light located in the
right  hand  information  center,  see Figure  6C-71.  The
corresponding trouble codes will  be stored in the ECM's
memory. If a data sensor fails, the ECM substitutes a failsoft
value into its  calculations  and continues to operate  the
engine with this nominal  value. In this mode, there may or
may not be some loss of driveability. If the fault should clear
up, then the check engine  light turns off,  but the trouble
code remains. This condition is known  as an intermittent
failure.  The digital display panel of the Eleclronic Climate
Control will display on command any of the trouble codes
which may have been stored in the ECM.
    The switch tests check the operation of various switches
which provide inputs to  the ECM. During this test series,
the technician cycles certain switches and the ECM analyzes
this action to determine  if the switches are operating
properly.
    The engine data series displays important engine data
information.  The   technician   should  compare  this
infoiiniuioii to the  information generated by  an engine
which is operating properly.
    The output cycling series cycles various ECM outputs
on an olT. During this  test series, the technical! can check
the operation of the engine control solenoids and lamps by
using command signals originating from the ECM.

10. Modulated Displacement (MD)
    Modulated     Displacement     (MD)     is     an
electromechanical system which deactivates certain engine
cylinders in order to save fuel. Since the basic operation of
the MD engine is similar to the closed loop DFI engine, only
the modulated displacement feature will be discussed in this
section, sec Figure 6C-72.
    The following general operating conditions must be met
before the ECM will disable certain cylinders:
    A. Coolant temperature must be above 48°C
    B. The transmission must be operating in  3rd gear
    C. The vehicle must  be moving faster than 24 mph
    D. Engine speed must be below 2,600 rpm
    E. Code  25 cannot be set
    The  ECM   controls  cylinder  selection   indirectly
throughout   the   Modulated  Displacement    Amplifier
(MDA), and the  Modulated  Displacement   Amplifier
(MDA) switches the cylinder selector solenoids on and off..
When  the cylinder  solenoids are enabled, the  mechanical
valve selector body will close the intake and exhaust valves
of that particular cylinder, and the ECM  automatically
reduces the amount of fuel delivered to the engine and alters
the spark timing.
    The cylinder selector  solenoids require an  initial  pull
in current of four amps and later require a hold in current
of one amp.  This is more amperage  than  the ECM  can
handle. Therefore, the Modulated Displacement Amplifier
(MDA) is connected between the ECM and the solenoids
to supply additional power and  to perform  the switching
function. During 6 cylinder operation, the MDA deactivates
cylinders ^il and ±:4 (solenoids energb-d), and during 4
cylinder operation, the MDA deactivates cylinders i:6 and
— 7  in addition  to cylinders  ~ 1.  and  — 4  (solenoids
energized). Six cylinder operation only occurs above 47
mph.

    The L7.CM monitors the MDA to determine if cylinder
selection is actually occurring. The MDA supplies a 12 volt
feedback signal to the ECM when  the MDA is operating
in 8 and 6 cylinder mode; the MDA supplies a.volt feedback
.signal to the ECM when the MDA is operating in 4 cylinder
mode. If the MDA feedback signal  is not correct, then the
ECM sets a check engine light and code 25 because the
cylinder selection process is not operating properly. Refer
to Section 6A of the Service Manual for more information
on the mechanical operation of the cylinder selector vahes.

                                          DIAGNOSIS
"TROUBLE CODES"
    The diagnostic charts in this manual are selected on the
basis of trouble codes which can be displayed during the
diagnostic readout. Steps of a "tree", which require testing
or explanation, are described on the succeeding pages. These
paragraphs are keyed to the correct steps in the "tree" by
the circled number.
    When certain circuits need to be checked, a schematic
diagram is included, and reference to a "circuit number" is
niadc. The circuit number (410, 575,  etc.) is shown inside
the box which represents the connector body in the complete
circuit diagram.
    Trouble codes programmed into  the DFI ECM arc
listed i-.nd identified in  Figure SD-1.

INTERMITTENT PROBLEM DIAGNOSIS
    DIAGNOSTIC  CHARTS CANNOT BE USED TO
DIAGNOSE INTERMITTENT FAILURES. The testing
^quired  ;it various points of the chart depends upon the
|p-iili being present to  locate the problem. If  the fault  is
      tent,  (not present  continually),  an  unnecessary
     rqihiccmcnt will be indicated and the problem may
remain.
    Since  many  intermittent problems  are  caused  at
electrical connections,  diagnosis of intermittent problems
should start with  a visual and physical inspection of the
connectors involved in the circuit. These connectors, should
be  disconnected,   examined,  and  reconnected  before
replacing any components of the system. Some causes of
connector problems are:
    1. Improperly formed terminals or connector bodies.
    2. Damaged terminals or connector bodies.
    3. Corrosion,  body sealer, or other foreign matter on
    termii
terminals.
the  terminal mating surfaces  which could insulate  the
    4. Incomplete mating of the connector halves.
    5. Terminals not fully seated -in  the connector body
("backed-out" terminals).
    6. Terminals not tightly crimped  to the wire.
    If an affected circuit is one that may be checked by the
switch tests, the out put cycling tests, or engine dai a displays,
make  the  check  on the  appropriate circuit.  If  the
intermittent code is a code 33, a special procedure must be
followed. Refer to the procedure labeled 33A  -iriu-rmiitent
MAP/BAKO Sensor correlation  test. If the intermittent

-------
code is code 13, 44, or 45, use the diagnostic chart for
code 13, 44, or 45 because these particular charts have
been designed to account for intermittents.


 "TROUBLE CODE" DIAGNOSIS

    The following abbreviations will be used in this section:
    IPS.- Throttle Position Sensor
    ECM - Electronic Control Module
    ISC - Idle Speed Control (includes Idle Speed Motor
 and Throttle Switch)
    HEI -.High Energy Ignition
    MAP - Manifold Absolute" Pressure (Sensor)
    BARO - Barometric Pressure (Sensor)

    ECC - Electronic Climate Control
    MAT - Manifold Air Temperature (Sensor)

    CTS - Coolant Temperature Sensor
    MPG - Miles Per Gallon (Display Panel)
     EGR - Exhaust Gas Recirculation
     MD - Modulated Displacement
     MDA - Modulated  Displacement Amplifier
    The dash-mounted "CHECK ENGINE"  light is used
 to inform the technician of detected system malfunctions or
 abnormalizes.  These malfunctions may be related to the
 various operating  sensors or to the ECM  itself. The light
 goes out automatically  if the fault clears (intermittent).
 However, the ECM stores the trouble code associated with
.the detected failure until the diagnostic system is "Cleared"
 or until 20 ignition switch (on-oiT) cycles have occurred
 without the fault reappearing.
     Proper operation of the light is as fellows:
     a. The light is normally off.
     b. A bulb check is  performed when the ignition is  in
 the "On" and  "Crank"  positions. When the engine starts,
 the bulb goes out.
     c. The light comes  on and stays on when a constant
 malfunction is detected.
     d. If a malfunction is-intermittent, the light will go out
 when the malfunction is  not present. The light will come on
 each time a malfunction is detected (may  flicker).
     e. The light stays on when the system  is displaying the
. diagnostic routine.
     The dash mounted digital display panel, normally used
 for the ECC system, can be temporarily directed to display
 trouble codes stored in the ECM.


 HOW TO "ENTER" DIAGNOSTIC MODE

     To enter diagnostic mode, proceed as follows:

     1. Turn the ignition "ON".
     2. Depress the "OEF" and "WARMER" buttons on
 the ECC panel simultaneously and hold until  ".." appears,
 Figure 8D-2. "88" will  then be displayed which indicates
 the beginning of the diagnostic readout.

HOW TO "CLEAR" TROUBLE CODES
    •Trouble codes stored in the ECM's  memory may be
cleared (erased) by entering the diagnostic mode and then
depressing  the "OFF" and "HI"  buttons simultaneously,
Figure 8D-2.  Hold until  "00" appears. After  "00" is
displayed, the ECM will  display "70".               .

HOW TO "EXIT" DIAGNOSTIC MODE
    To get out of the diagnostic mode, depress any of the
ECC "Function" keys (Auto, Econ, etc. except Rear Defog)
or turn ignition switch off for 10 seconds. Trouble codes are
not  erased when  this is done. The temperature setting will
reappear  in the display panel.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

    When the check engine light turns on, it indicates that
a malfunction has occurred for which a trouble code  has
been stored. The trouble code can he displayed on the FCC
control panel. The malfunction may or may not result in
abnormal engine operation.
    To  determine  which system(s) has  malfunctioned,
proceed as follows:
     1. Turn the ignition switch "ON" for 5 seconds.
    2. Depress the  "OFF" and "WARMER"  buttons on
the Electronic Climate Control panel  simultaneously and
hole! until ".." appears.
     3. The numerals "SS" should then appear, see  Figure
8D-3. The purpose of the  "S3" display is  to check that all
segr,v:::is of I he display are working. Diagnosis should  not
be p.ttcmpied unless the entire "88" appears as  this could
lead to misdiagnosis (Code 31 could be Code 34 with two
segments of the display  inoperative, etc.).
    4. If trouble codes are present, they will be displayed
on the digital I.ICC panel as follows:
    a. The lowest numbere-.! code will be displayed  for
approximately two seconds.
                                                              b. Progressively higher numbered code*, i!"present, v.'iil
                                                         be displayed consecutively for two second intervals until the
                                                         highest code present has been displayed.
                                                              c. "88" is again displayed.
                                                              d. Parts A,  B,  and  C above will be repeated a second
                                                         lime.
                                                              c. When the trouble codes have been displayed, code
                                                         70 will then be displayed.  Code 70 indicates that the ECM
                                                         is ready for the next diagnostic feature to be  selected.
                                                              5. If no trouble codes are present, "88" will be displayed
                                                         for a longer period of time, and then the ECM will  display
                                                         code 70. Code 70 indicates that the ECM is ready  for the
                                                         next diagnostic feature to  be selected.


                                                         INTERMITTENT  CODES VERSUS  HARD
                                                         FAILURES

                                                              The check engine light will go out automatically if the
                                                         malfunction clears.  However, the ECM stores the  trouble
                                                         code associated with the  detected failure until the diagnostic
                                                         system is cleared or until 20 ignition cycles have occurred
                                                         without any fault reappearing. This condition is known as
                                                         an intermittent failure.
                                                              Therefore, the  ECM  may have two types of  trouble
                                                         codes stored  in its memory. These two code types are:
                                                              A. A code for  a  malfunction which  is a  hard  failure.
                                                         A hard failure turns on  t.he check engine light and keeps it
                                                         on as long as the malfunction is present.
                                                              B. A  code for an intermittent malfunction which has
                                                         occurred within the last  20 ignition cycles. An intermittent
                                                         f.iilure turns off the check engine light when ihe malfur.clion
                                                         clears  up.

                                                         Diagnostic Charts Cannot be Used  to  Dicrjnose
                                                         Intermittent Failures

                                                              Intermittent codes should be diagnosed by inspecting
                                                         the connectors involved with the affected circuits. However,
                                                         if an a flee led circuit  is  one that  may  be  checked  by the
                                                         switch tests,  output cycling tests, or engine data displays,
                                                         make the check on  the appropriate circuit.

    During any diagnostic interrogation,'it is necessary to
determine if the diagnostic code or codes are hard failures
or  intermittent failures.  To  make  this  determination,
proceed as follows:
    1. Enter diagnostics and note stored trouble codes.
    2. If one code exists and the "Check Engine" light is
on (engine running) follow the  appropriate trouble tree. If
"Check Engine" light is off (engine running), clear trouble
codes. If more  than one code exists, clear trouble codes.
    3. Exit diagnostics by turning the ignition switch off for
10 seconds.
    4. Turn the ignition on, wait 5 seconds, and then start
the engine.
    5. Accelerate the engine to approximately 2000 RPM
for a  few seconds.
    6. Return  the engine  to idle speeds.
    7. Shift the transmission into drive.
    8. Shift the transmission back into park.
    9.  If  the   "check engine"  light  comes  on, enter
diagnostics, read, and  record the trouble codes. This will
reveal only "hard failures" codes. The Cruise Control codes
60 through 68 never set a check  engine light; therefore, treat
them  as hard failures. Codes 13, 44, 45, 24 and 25 may
require a road test to reset a "hard failure" after the trouble
codes have been cleared.
    If the light does not come on, then all stored codes  are
intermittent failures except for  codes 13, 33, 44, and 45. If
the intermit lent code is a code 33, a special procedure must
be followed. Refer to diagnostic chart 33A, "Intermittent
MAP/BAKO Correlation Test". If the intermittent code.is
code  13, 44, or  45, use  the diagnostic chart for code  13,  44,
or 45 Ixv.-'.use these panicular charts have been designed to
account for intermittent*.
    If the vehicle  exhibits performance  problems and  has
no codes set, refer to the performance diagnosis charts. A
component which is cheeked by  the trouble codes will rarely
cause a performance problem when no trouble codes are  set.
    10. fierjii  the  diagnosis with the lowest code number
which is displayed. Ifcod.es 51  or 16 are present, begin  the
diagnosis  with  code 51 and then proceed to code 16.

CODE 70
    Code 70 is  a decision point. When code 70 is displayed,
the technician  should select ihe diagnostic  feature that he
wants to display. The following choices  are available:
    A. Switch  tests
    B. Engine  data display
    C. Output  cycling tests
    D. Exit diagnostics or clear codes and exit diagnostics.

SWITCH TESTS PROCEDURE
    Code 70 must be displayed on the Electronic Climate
Control panel before the switch  tests can begin. To perform
the switch tests, proceed as follows:
     1. Depress and release the brake pedal;  the switch tests
begin as the display switches from code  70 to code 71,.see
Figure KD-3. (If the display doesn't advnr.ce to code  71,
refer  to ihe diagnosis chart, code 71, because the ECM. is
not processing  the brake signal.)
    2. With code 71 displayed, depress and release the brake
pedal af.ain to lest the Cruise  Control  brake circuit,  see
Figure oD-4. When this check  is complete,  tlio display will
automatically sequence to code 72.  If this check  is not
performed within 10 seconds, the display will auiomaticaHv
sequence to code 72.but code 71 will be stored in the ECM's
memory as a failure.
     3. With code  72  displayed, depress the throtik- from
the idle position to the wide open throttle position and then
release the throttle. While .this action is being performed.
the ECM checks the throttle switch for proper operation.
When this check is  complete, the display will automatically
sequence to code 73. If this check is not performed within
10 seconds, the display will automatically sequence to code
73 but code 72  will be stored in the  ECM's memory as a
failure.
     4. With code 73 displayed, shift the transmission lever
into drive and then neutral. This action checks the operation
of the drive switch. When this check has  been completed.
(lie display will  automatically sequence to code 74. If tins
check is not performed formed within 10 seconds, code 73
will  be stored in the ECM's memory  as a failure.
     5. With code 74 displayed, shift the transmission lever
to reverse and then to park. This action checks the operation
of the reverse switch. If the transmission is not shifted within
10 seconds, a code  74 will be stored as a failure. When the
check is  completed, the panel will automatically .sequence
to code 75.
     On cars without Cruise Control, codes 75, 76 and
77will be displayed during this switch test. When these
codes are displayed during the switch  test, allow the
code to reach its 10 second time out. After tin's time out
has elapsed, the display will advance to the next code.
Allow codes  75, 76 and  77 to time out t series within  the 10 seconds  time out to us-
•s 1.1 re test accuracy.
     6. With code 75 displayed, switch the Cruise Control
instrument panel switch from off to on and
to off.
When this check is complete, the display will automatically
sequence  to code 76. If this check  is not performed within
10 seconds,  the display will automatically sequence to code
76 but code 75 will be stored in the ECM's memory as a
failure.
     7.  With  code  76  displayed  and  with  the  cruise
instrument  panel switch in the on position, depress and
release the set/coast but ton to verify the operation  of this
switch.  When  this check  is complete,  the display will
automatically  sequence to  code 77. If this check is not
completed within 10 seconds, the ECM will store code  76
as a failure.
     8.  With  code  77  displayed  and  with  the  cruise
instrument  panel switch in the on position, depress and
release  llie  resume/ acceleration  switch to  ch-.-ek  the
operation of this switch. If this check is not completed
within 10 seconds, the ECM will store code 77 as a failure.
The display will advance to code 78.
     9. With code 7S  displayed, depress  and  release the
"average" button on tlic MPG panel.  When  this check is
complete, the  display will automatically cycle to code 79.
This must be completed within 10 seconds or a code 7S will
be set as a failure.
     10. With  code 79 displayed, depress and  release the
"reset" button on the MPG pane! within 10 seconds to test
the operation of this switch.  The panel will aui.'maiically
cvcle to code SO.

-------
•GD-6  ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSIS - COMPUTER CONTROLLED
    11. With code SO displayed, depress and release the rear
defogger button on the ECC panel. This action checks the
ECM's ability to recognize and process the air conditioning
clutch signal. Ho\ve\cr, the  compressor cycling  switch
leading to the compressor drive circuit of the ECC power
module  must be closed in order to energize the A/C
compressor clutch. Sometimes, the engine may need to be
running and the ECC may need to be operating in auto and
60 to close the contacts of the compressor cycling switch.
This procedure must be completed within 10 seconds to
avoid setting code SO  as a failure. This is the. end of the
switch tests.

    On  cars without rear  defogger,  code 80  will be
displayed during the switch test. When code 80 is displayed,
momentarily supply 12 volts to the blue wire in the six wire
weather pack connector on  the ECC power module (engine
compartment) to pass  code SO.

    12. When the switch tests are completed, the ECM will
now go back and display the switch codes which did not test
properly. Each code which did not pass will be displayed
beginning with  the lowest number.  The codes will not
disappear until the affected switch circuit has either been
repaired or retestecl. Refer to the appropriate diagnosis chart
for each trouble  code.

    01 The throttle angle is displayed in degrees.
    02 The MAP value is displayed as a number between
1 p.ncl 99. A pressure reading of 100 and  101  is displayed
as a 99 because it is not possible to display more than 2 digits
on the ECC panel.
    03 The BARO value  is displayed in the same manner
as the MAP value.
    04 The coolant temperature is a sealed number which
reads between 0 and 99. The value of 0 corresponds to -40°C,
and the value of 99 corresponds to 150"C,  sec Figure SD-6
for additional conversion values.
    05 The manifold air temperature value is  displayed in
the same manner as the coolant temperature.
    06 The injector pulse width is displayed in milliseconds.
A decimal point will  not appear but it  has to be assumed
between the two digits, (i.e. -  32 means 3.2 milliseconds)
    07 The oxygen sensor voltage is displayed in volts and
the decimal point lias to be assumed before the two digit's.
(i.e. - 60 means  .60 volts)
    OS The spark advance value is displayed in degrees.
    09 The ignition cycle value is the number of times that
the ig!iiii;>r. has been cycled since the trouble code was --ct.
    10 The open closed loop indicator tells the tec':ini;:an
whether the F.CM is operating the system in closed l.:op
operation or in open loop opera'.ion. A value of 1 indicuies
closed  loop operation; a  value of 0 indicates  open loop
operation.
    11 The battery voltage is read in volts; however, the iO's
digit will not display and a decimal point has to be assumed
between the two numbers (23 should be read as 12.3  \o';s).
    When  the engine data display is initiated, the ECC v-i!l
display 01  for one second  to  indicate the first  parair.eier
check and then a two digit number will be displayed for five
seconds to  indicate the first parameter value. A single digit
parameter value will be displayed as a "blank X". The ECC
will continue  to repeal his sequence  of  events until ;!ie
technician decides to move to the next parameter, see Figure
8D-5.

OUTPUT CYCLING  TESTS  PROCEDURE

    T.his series of tests can be initiated after 95 is displayed
on the ECC panel. The display of 95 can be reached by the
following methods:
    1. Depress the instant/average button while code 70 is
displayed on the ECC panel, see Figure 8D-3. If the display
doesn't adv.mce to code 95, refer to code  78 of the switch
tests..
    2. Depress the instant/average button while parameter
iill of the engine data display series is being displayed.
    The output cycling  tests  consist  of  two  separate
operations:
    A. With the engine running,  the cylinder select  test,
code 97, operates the modulated displacement solenoids.
    B. With the engine off, the actuator cycling test, code
96, turns the ECM's outputs on and off.
    To enter the actuator cycling tests, proceed as follows:
    A. The engine must be running.
    B. Turn the engine off and within 2 seconds, turn the
ignition on.
    C. Enter diagnostics  and display code 95. See Figure
8D-7.
     D. Depress the  accelerator pedal to the wide open
throttle  position  (throttle  switch open) and  release  it
(throttle switch closed). Code 96 will appear on the display.
     E. Turn the cruise instrument panel  switch to the  on
position so that the Cruise Con.trol outputs will cycle.
     P. The actuator cycling test will end automatically after
 1 minute-;  of cycling and the display will switch  from  code
96  to  code 95.
     The group A outputs will cycle on and off for 3 seconds  .
and then  the group B outputs will cycle  on and off for 3
seconds.   The  Cruise   Control  power  valve  operates
continuously.  Group A  will  continue to  alternate  with
Group B until the 2  minute automatic shut off occurs.
     To enter the  cylinder select tests, proceed as  follows:
     A. The engine must  be running.
     B. Enter diagnostic-; and display code  95, sec Figure
 8D-7.
     C. Depress the  accelerator pedal to the wide  open
 throttle  position  (throttle  switch open) and  release  it
 (throttle switch closed). Code 97 will appear on the display.
     D. With no button of the MI'G panel depressed, the
 ECM will continue to control the cylinders automatically.
     E. Depressing the instant/average button of the MI'G
 panel \\ill  force the engine to operate in 8 cylinder mode as
 long  as the button is depressed.

    F. Depressing the reset button of the MPG panel will
force  the engine to operate  in  6  cylinder mode until the
button is released.

    G. Depressing the active cylinder button of the MPG
panel  will force the engine to operate in 4 cylinder mode
until the button is released.

    The switch  tests,  the engine data  displays,  and the
output cycling tests can  be  used to isolate intermittent
failures.
