1993 CHEVROLET DYNASTY engine

CRUISE OR IDLE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is
a CLOSED LOOP mode. During cruising speed the
following inputs are received by the PCM:
² engine coolant temperature
² knock sensor
² manifold absolute pressure
² engine speed (crankshaft position sensor)
² throttle position
² exhaust gas oxygen content
² A/C control positions
² battery voltage
The PCM provides a ground path for the injectors to
precisely control injector pulse width. The PCM adjusts
engine idle speed and ignition timing. The PCM con-
trols the air/fuel ratio according to the oxygen content
in the exhaust gas.
ACCELERATION MODE
This is a CLOSED LOOP mode. The PCM recognizes
an abrupt increase in throttle position or MAP pres-
sure as a demand for increased engine output and
vehicle acceleration. The PCM increases injector pulse
width in response to increased fuel demand.
DECELERATION MODE
This is a CLOSED LOOP mode. During deceleration
the following inputs are received by the PCM:
² engine coolant temperature
² knock sensor
² manifold absolute pressure
² engine speed (crankshaft position sensor)
² throttle position
² exhaust gas oxygen content ²
A/C control positions
² battery voltage
The PCM may receive a closed throttle input from
the throttle position sensor (TPS) at the same time it
senses an abrupt decrease in manifold pressure. This
indicates a hard deceleration. The PCM modifies the
injector sequence. This helps maintain better control
of the air-fuel mixture.
WIDE OPEN THROTTLE MODE
This is an OPEN LOOP mode. During wide-open-
throttle operation, the following inputs are received
by the PCM:
² engine coolant temperature
² knock sensor
² manifold absolute pressure
² engine speed (crankshaft position sensor)
² throttle position
When the PCM senses a wide open throttle condi-
tion it will de-energize the air conditioning relay.
This disables the air conditioning system. The exhaust gas oxygen content input is not ac-
cepted by the PCM during wide open throttle opera-
tion. The PCM will enrichen the air/fuel ratio to
increase performance and compensate for increased
combustion chamber temperature.
IGNITION SWITCH OFF MODE
This is an OPEN LOOP mode. When the ignition
switch is turned to the OFF position, the following
occurs:
² All outputs are turned off.
² No inputs are monitored.
² The PCM shuts down.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The powertrain control module (PCM) has been pro-
grammed to monitor many different circuits of the fuel
injection system. If a problem is sensed with a moni-
tored circuit often enough to indicate an actual prob-
lem, the PCM stores a fault. If the problem is repaired
or ceases to exist, the PCM cancels the Diagnostic
trouble code after 51 vehicle key on/off cycles. Certain criteria must be met for a diagnostic trouble
code to be entered into PCM memory. The criteria may
be a specific range of engine RPM, engine temperature,
and/or input voltage to the PCM. It is possible that a diagnostic trouble code for a
monitored circuit may not be entered into memory
even though a malfunction has occurred. This may
happen because one of the diagnostic trouble code
criteria for the circuit has not been met. For example,
assume that one of the diagnostic trouble code criteria
for a certain sensor circuit is that the engine must be
operating between 750 and 2000 RPM. If the sensor
output circuit shorts to ground when engine RPM is
above 2400 RPM (resulting i n a 0 volt input to the
PCM) a diagnostic trouble code will not be entered into
memory. This is because the condition does not occur
within the specified RPM range. There are several operating conditions for which the
PCM does not monitor and set diagnostic trouble codes.
Refer to Monitored Circuits and Non-Monitored Cir-
cuits in this section. Stored diagnostic trouble codes can be displayed
either by cycling the ignition key On - Off - On - Off -
On, or through use of the DRB II scan tool. The DRBII
scan tool connects to the data link connector in the
vehicle (Fig. 1).
MONITORED CIRCUITS
The powertrain control module (PCM) can detect
certain fault conditions in the fuel injection system. Open or Shorted Circuit - The PCM can determine
if the sensor output (input to PCM) is within proper
range. Also, the PCM can determine if the circuit is
open or shorted. Output Device Current Flow - The PCM senses
whether the output devices are hooked up. If there is a problem with the circuit, the PCM senses whether
the circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted
high. Oxygen Sensor - The PCM can determine if the
oxygen sensor is switching between rich and lean
once the system has entered closed loop. Refer to
Modes of Operation in this section for an explanation
of closed loop operation.
NON-MONITORED CIRCUITS
The PCM does not monitor the following circuits,
systems and conditions that could have malfunctions
that result in driveability problems. Diagnostic trou-
ble codes may not be displayed for these conditions.
However, problems with these systems may cause di-
agnostic trouble codes to be displayed for other sys-
tems. For example, a fuel pressure problem will not
register a fault directly, but could cause a rich or
lean condition. This could cause an oxygen sensor
fault to be stored in the PCM. Fuel Pressure - Fuel pressure is controlled by the
fuel pressure regulator. The PCM cannot detect a
clogged fuel pump inlet strainer, clogged in-line fuel
filter, or a pinched fuel supply or return line. How-
ever, these could result in a rich or lean condition
causing an oxygen sensor fault to be stored in the
PCM.

14 - 100 FUEL SYSTEMS Ä

Secondary Ignition Circuit - The PCM cannot
detect an inoperative ignition coil, fouled or worn spark
plugs, ignition cross firing, or open spark plug cables. Engine Timing - The PCM cannot detect an incor-
rectly indexed timing chain, camshaft sprocket and
crankshaft sprocket. However, these could result in a
rich or lean condition causing an oxygen sensor fault. Cylinder Compression - The PCM cannot detect
uneven, low, or high engine cylinder compression. Exhaust System - The PCM cannot detect a
plugged, restricted or leaking exhaust system. Fuel Injector Malfunctions - The PCM cannot
determine if the fuel injector is clogged, the pintle is
sticking or the wrong injector is installed. However,
these could result in a rich or lean condition causing an
oxygen sensor fault to be stored in the PCM. Excessive Oil Consumption - Although the PCM
monitors exhaust stream oxygen content when the
system is in closed loop, it cannot determine excessive
oil consumption. Throttle Body Air Flow - The PCM cannot detect a
clogged or restricted air cleaner inlet or filter element. Evaporative System - The PCM will not detect a
restricted, plugged or loaded evaporative purge canis-
ter. Vacuum Assist - Leaks or restrictions in the
vacuum circuits of vacuum assisted engine control
system devices are not monitored by the PCM. How-
ever, these could result in a MAP sensor fault being
stored in the PCM. PCM System Ground
- The PCM cannot determine
a poor system ground. However, a diagnostic trouble
code may be generated as a result of this condition. PCM Connector Engagement - The PCM cannot
determine spread or damaged connector pins. How-
ever, a diagnostic trouble code may be generated as a
result of this condition.
HIGH AND LOW LIMITS
The powertrain control module (PCM) compares in-
put signal voltages from each input device with estab-
lished high and low limits that are programmed into it
for that device. If the input voltage is not within
specifications and other diagnostic trouble code criteria
are met, a diagnostic trouble code will be stored in
memory. Other diagnostic trouble code criteria might
include engine RPM limits or input voltages from other
sensors or switches that must be present before a fault
condition can be verified.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DESCRIPTION
When a diagnostic trouble code appears, it indicates
the powertrain control module (PCM) has recognized
an abnormal condition in the system. Diagnostic
trouble codes can be obtained from the malfunction
indicator lamp (Check Engine lamp on the instrument
panel) or from the DRBII scan tool. Diagnostic trouble
codes indicate the results of a failure but do not
identify the failed component directly.

SYSTEM TESTS
Apply parking brake and/or block wheels be-
fore performing idle check or adjustment, or any
engine running tests.
OBTAINING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
(1) Connect DRBII scan tool to the data link connec-
tor (Fig. 1). (2) Start the engine if possible, cycle the trans mis-
sion selector and the A/Cswitch if applicable. Shut off
the engine. (3) Turn the ignition switch on, access Read Fault
Screen. Record all the fault messages shown on the
DRBII scan tool. Observe the malfunction indicator
lamp (check engine lamp on the instrument panel). The
lamp should light for 2 seconds then go out (bulb
check). Diagnostic trouble code erasure: access erase
diagnostic trouble code data.
STATE DISPLAY TEST MODE
The switch inputs used by the powertrain control
module (PCM) have only two recognized states, HIGH
and LOW. For this reason, the PCM cannot recognize
the difference between a selected switch position ver-
sus an open circuit, a short circuit, or a defective
switch. If the display changes, assume the entire
switch circuit to the PCM is functional. From the state
display screen access either State Display Inputs and
Outputs or State Display Sensors.

CIRCUIT ACTUATION TEST MODE
The purpose of the circuit actuation test mode is to
check for the proper operation of output circuits or
devices which the powertrain control module (PCM)
cannot internally recognize. The PCM can attempt to
activate these outputs and allow an observer to ver-
ify proper operation. Most of the tests available in
this mode provide an audible or visual indication of
device operation (click of relay contacts, spray fuel,
etc.). With the exception of an intermittent condition,
if a device functions properly during its test, assume
the device, its associated wiring, and its driver cir-
cuit are in working order.
