ALL NEW GENERAL MOTORS VEHICLES ARE CERTIFIED BY THE UNITED STATES
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY AS CONFORMING TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE
REGULATIONS FOR THE CONTROL OF AIR POLLUTION FROM NEW MOTOR VEHICLES.
THlS
CERTIFICATION IS CONTINGENT ON CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS BEING SET TO FACTORY
STANDARDS. IN MOST CASES, THESE ADJUSTMENT POINTS EITHER HAVE BEEN
PERMANENTLY SEALED
AND/OR MADE INACCESSIBLE TO PREVENT INDISCRIMINATE OR
ROUTINE ADJUSTMENT IN THE FIELD. FOR
THlS REASON, THE FACTORY PROCEDURE FOR
TEMPORARILY REMOVING PLUGS, CAPS, ETC., FOR PURPOSES OF SERVICING THE PRODUCT,
MUST BE STRICTLY FOLLOWED AND, WHEREVER PRACTICABLE, RETURNED TO
THE
ORIGINAL INTENT OF THE DESIGN.
INTRODUCTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
This section applies to engines which have a fuel
injector mounted above a throttle body assembly. The
entire assembly is mounted to the intake manifold and
is referred to as "Throttle Body Injection".
These engines have controls to reduce exhaust
emissions, while maintaining good driveability and
fuel economy.
An engine control module
(ECM) is the heart of
this control system and has sensors used to provide
information about engine operation and the various
systems it controls. Details of basic operation,
diagnosis, functional checks, and on-vehicle service
are covered in Section
"C", Component Systems.
The
ECM has the ability to do some diagnosis of
itself, and of other parts of the system. When it finds a
problem,
it lights a "Service Engine Soon" light on the
instrument panel and a trouble code will be stored in
the ECM memory. This does not mean that the engine
should be stopped right away, but that the cause of the
light coming
"ON" should be checked as soon as
reasonably possible. The
following
sectionds) are written for specific
engine applications and are clearly indentified. Be
sure to use only the section which applies to the
engine family being diagnosed.
Before using this section of the manual, you
should be familiar with the information and the
proper diagnosing procedures as described in Section
"6E". If the proper diagnosis procedures are not
follo\l;red, as described in Section "6En, it may result in
unnecessary replacement of good parts.
Trouble tree charts incorporate diagnosis
procedures using an
ALDI, "Scan" tool, where
possible. The "Scan" tool has the ability to save time
in diagnosis and prevent the replacement of good
parts. The key to using; the "Scan" tool
successfully for diagnosis lies in the technician's
abilitv to understand the system
he is try in^ to
diagnose,
as well as an understanding of the
"Scan" tool's limitations. See Section
6E for more
information.
