INTRODUCTION
GENERAL BESCRIPT18N DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
This section applies to engines which have a fuel
injector in the intake manifold near the intake valve
for each cylinder. It is commonly referred to as "Port
Fuel 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
sections(s) 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
"GE". If the proper diagnosis procedures are not
followed, as described in Section
"6EM, it may result in
unnecessary replacement of good parts.
Trouble tree charts incorporate diagnosis
procedures using an ALDL "SCAN" tool where
possible.
The "SCANJ' 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
ability to understand the system he is
trving to
diagnose. as well as an understanding of the
"SCAN" tool's limitations. See Section "6E" for
more information.

Circuit Description:
There should always be a steady "Service Engine Soon" light when the ignition is "ON" and engine stopped.
Battery is supplied directly to the light bulb. The electronic control module
(ECNI) will control the light and
turn it "ON" by providing a ground path through CKT 419 to the ECM.
Test Description: Numbers below refer to circled
numbers on the diagnostic chart.
1. If the fuse in holder is blown refer to facing page of
Code
54 for complete circuit.
2. Using a test light connected to 12 volts probe each
of the system ground circuits to be sure a good
ground is present. See ECM terminal end view in
front of this section for
ECM pin locations of
ground circuits.
Diagnostic Aids:
Engine runs OK, check:
@ Faulty light bulb.
@ CKT 419 open.
@ Gage fuse blown.
This will result in no oil or
generator lights, seat belt reminder, etc. Engine
cranks but will not run.
@ Continuous battery - fuse or fusible link open.
@ ECM ignition fuse open.
@ Battery CKT 340 to ECM open.
@ Ignition CKT 439 to ECM open.
e Poor connection to ECM.
Solenoids and relays are turned "ON"
and "OFF"
by the ECM, using internal electronic switches called
"drivers". Each driver is part of a group of four called
"Quad-Drivers". Failure of one driver can damage
any other driver in the set. Solenoid and relay coil
resistance must measure more than 20 ohms. Less
resistance will cause early failure of the ECM
"driver".
Before replacing ECM, be sure to check the coil
resistance of all solenoids and relays controlled by the
ECM. See ECM wiring diagram for the
solenoid(s)
and relay(s) and the coil terminal identification.
