The camshaft position sensor senses when a notch in
the camshaft gear passes beneath it (Fig. 4). When
metal aligns with the sensor, voltage goes low (less
than 0.3 volts). When a notch aligns with the sensor,
voltage spikes high (5.0 volts). As a group of notches
pass under the sensor, the voltage switches from low
(metal) to high (notch) then back to low. The number of
notches determine the amount of pulses. If available,
an oscilloscope can display the square wave patterns of
each timing events. Top dead center (TDC) does not occur when notches
on the camshaft sprocket pass below the cylinder. TDC
occurs after the camshaft pulse (or pulses) and after
the 4 crankshaft pulses associated with the particular
cylinder.
The camshaft position sensor is mounted on the top
of the cylinder head (Fig. 5). The bottom of the sensor
is positioned above the camshaft sprocket. The dis-
tance between the bottom of sensor and the
camshaft sprocket is critical to the operation of
the system. When servicing the camshaft posi-
tion sensor, refer to the 2.2L Turbo III Multi-Port
Fuel InjectionÐService Procedures section in
this Group.
CHARGE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSORÐPCM IN-
PUT
The charge air temperature sensor is mounted to
intake manifold. The sensor measures the temperature
of the air-fuel mixture (Fig. 6). This information is used
by the PCM to modify air/fuel mixture and turbo-
charger boost level.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSORÐPCM
INPUT
The coolant temperature sensor is a variable resis-
tor with a range of -40ÉC to 128ÉF (-40ÉF to 265ÉF).
The sensor is installed into the thermostat housing
(Fig. 7). The PCM supplies 5.0 volts to the coolant temper-
ature sensor. The sensor provides an input voltage to
the PCM. The PCM determines engine operating
temperature from this input. As coolant temperature
varies, the sensor resistance changes resulting in a
different input voltage to the PCM. Based on the coolant sensor and charge air temper-
ature sensor inputs the PCM changes certain operat-
ing schedules until the engine reaches operating
temperature. While the engine warms up, the PCM
demands slightly richer air-fuel mixtures, lower
boost levels, revised spark advance and higher idle
speeds.

sition, the PCM monitors the crankshaft position and
camshaft position sensor signals to determine engine
speed and ignition timing (coil dwell). If the PCM
does not receive the crankshaft position sensor and
camshaft position sensor signals when the ignition
switch is in the Run position, it de-energizes both re-
lays. When the relays are de-energized, battery volt-
age is not supplied to the fuel injector, ignition coil,
fuel pump and oxygen sensor heating element. The ASD relay and fuel pump relay are located in
the power distribution center (Fig. 16).
IDLE AIR CONTROL MOTORÐPCM OUTPUT
The idle air control motor is mounted on the throt-
tle body (Fig. 14). The PCM operates the motor. The
PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air
control motor to compensate for engine load or ambi-
ent conditions. The throttle body has an air bypass passage that
provides air for the engine at idle (the throttle blade
is closed). The idle air control motor pintle protrudes
into the air bypass passage and regulates air flow
through it. The PCM adjusts engine idle speed by moving the
idle air control motor pintle in and out of the bypass
passage. The adjustments are based on inputs the
PCM receives. The inputs are from the throttle posi-
tion sensor, camshaft position sensor, crankshaft po-
sition sensor, coolant temperature sensor, and
various switch operations (brake and air condition-
ing). Deceleration die out is also prevented by in-
creasing airflow when the throttle is closed quickly
after a driving (speed) condition.
BAROMETRIC READ SOLENOIDÐPCM OUTPUT
The barometric pressure read solenoid is spliced
into the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
vacuum hose (Fig. 12). The barometric read solenoid
switches the pressure supply to the MAP sensor from
either barometric pressure (atmospheric) or manifold
vacuum. The PCM operates the solenoid. Atmospheric pressure is periodically supplied to
the MAP sensor to measure barometric pressure.
This occurs at closed throttle, once per throttle clo-
sure but no more often than once every 3 minutes
and within a specified RPM band. Barometric infor-
mation is used primarily for boost control and start
fuel enrichment at various altitudes.
CANISTER PURGE SOLENOIDÐPCM OUTPUT
Vacuum for the Evaporative Canister is controlled
by the Canister Purge Solenoid (Fig. 17). The sole-
noid is controlled by the PCM. The PCM operates the solenoid by switching the
ground circuit on and off. When grounded, the sole-
noid energizes and prevents vacuum from reaching
the evaporative canister. When not energized the so-
lenoid allows vacuum to flow to the canister. During warm-up and for a specified time period after
hot starts the PCM grounds the purge solenoid.
Vacuum does not operate the evaporative canister
valve. The PCM removes the ground to the solenoid when
the engine reaches a specified temperature and the
time delay interval has occurred. When the solenoid is
de-energized, vacuum flows to the canister purge
valve. Vapors are purged from the canister and flow to
the throttle body. The purge solenoid will also be energized during
certain idle conditions, in order to update the fuel
delivery calibration.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (CHECK
ENGINE)ÐPCM OUTPUT
The malfunction indicator lamp (instrument panel
Check Engine lamp) comes on each time the ignition
key is turned ON and stays on for 3 seconds as a bulb
test. The malfunction indicator lamp warns the opera-
tor that the PCM has entered a Limp-in mode. During
Limp-in-Mode, the PCM attempts to keep the system
operational. The malfunction indicator lamp signals
the need for immediate service. In limp-in mode, the
PCM compensates for the failure of certain components
that send incorrect signals. The PCM substitutes for
the incorrect signals with inputs from other sensors. Signals that can trigger the malfunction indi-
cator lamp (Check Engine Lamp).
² Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
² Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor
² Throttle Position Sensor
² Battery Voltage Input
² An Emissions Related System
² Charging system
The malfunction indicator lamp can also be used to
display diagnostic trouble codes. Cycle the ignition
switch on, off, on, off, on, within five seconds and any

diagnostic trouble codes stored in the PCM will be
displayed. Refer to the 2.2L Turbo III Multi-port Fuel
InjectionÐOn-Board Diagnostics section of this
Group for Diagnostic trouble code Descriptions.
DATA LINK CONNECTORÐPCM OUTPUT
The data link connector provides the technician
with the means to connect the DRBII scan tool to di-
agnosis the vehicle.
FUEL INJECTORÐPCM OUTPUT
The Fuel Injectors are electric solenoids driven by
the PCM (Fig. 18).
Based on sensor inputs, the PCM determines when
and how long the fuel injector should operate. The
amount of time an injector fires is referred to as in-
jector pulse width. The auto shutdown (ASD) relay
supplies battery voltage to the injector. The PCM
supplies the ground path. By switching the ground
path on and off, the PCM adjusts injector pulse
width. When the PCM supplies a ground path, a spring
loaded needle or armature lifts from its seat and fuel
flows through the injector orifice. Fuel is constantly supplied to the injector at regu-
lated 380 Kpa (55 psi). Unused fuel returns to the
fuel tank.
IGNITION COILÐPCM OUTPUT
The Direct Ignition System (DIS) uses a molded
coil (Fig. 19). The coil is mounted on the front of the
engine. High tension leads route to each cylinder
from the coil. The coil fires two spark plugs every
power stroke. One plug is the cylinder under com-
pression, the other cylinder fires on the exhaust
stroke. The PCM determines which of the coils to
charge and fire at the correct time. The auto shutdown (ASD) relay provides battery
voltage to the ignition coil. The PCM provides a
ground contact (circuit) for energizing the coil. When the PCM breaks the contact, the energy in the coil
primary transfers to the secondary causing the
spark. The PCM will de-energize the ASD relay if it
does not receive the crankshaft position sensor and
camshaft position sensor inputs. Refer to Auto Shut-
down (ASD) Relay/Fuel Pump RelayÐPCM Output
in this section for relay operation.
RADIATOR FAN RELAYÐPCM OUTPUT
The radiator fan is energized by the PCM through
the radiator fan relay. The PCM grounds the radia-
tor fan relay when engine coolant reaches a predeter-
mined temperature. For more information, refer to
Group 7, Cooling Systems. The radiator fan relay is located in the power dis-
tribution center (Fig. 16). Refer to the Wiring and
Component Identification section of Group 8W.
SPEED CONTROL SOLENOIDSÐPCM OUTPUT
The speed control vacuum and vent solenoids are
operated by the PCM. When the PCM supplies a
ground to the vacuum and vent solenoids, the speed
control system opens the throttle blade. When the
PCM supplies a ground only to the vent solenoid, the
throttle blade holds position. When the PCM removes
the ground from both the vacuum and vent solenoids,
the throttle blade closes. The PCM balances the two
solenoids to maintain the set speed. Refer to Group
8H for speed control information.
TACHOMETERÐPCM OUTPUT
The PCM supplies engine RPM to the instrument
panel tachometer. Refer to Group 8 for tachometer
information.
WASTEGATE CONTROL SOLENOIDÐPCM OUTPUT
The PCM operates the wastegate control solenoid.
The PCM adjusts maximum boost to varying engine
conditions by changing the amount of time the sole-

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.

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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The 3.0L engine uses a sequential Multi-Port Elec-
tronic Fuel Injection system (Fig. 1). The MPI system
is computer regulated and provides precise air/fuel
ratios for all driving conditions. The MPI system is operated by the powertrain con-
trol module (PCM). The PCM regulates ignition timing, air-fuel ratio,
emission control devices, cooling fan, charging sys-
tem, idle speed and speed control. Various sensors
provide the inputs necessary for the PCM to correctly
operate these systems. In addition to the sensors,
various switches also provide inputs to the PCM. All inputs to the PCM are converted into signals.
The PCM can adapt its programming to meet chang-
ing operating conditions. Fuel is injected into the intake port above the in-
take valve in precise metered amounts through elec-
trically operated injectors. The PCM fires the
injectors in a specific sequence. The PCM maintains
an air fuel ratio of 14.7 parts air to 1 part fuel by
constantly adjusting injector pulse width. Injector
pulse width is the length of time the injector is ener-
gized. The PCM adjusts injector pulse width by opening
and closing the ground path to the injector. Engine
RPM (speed) and manifold absolute pressure (air
density) are the primary inputs that determine injec-
tor pulse width.
SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
The powertrain control module (PCM) tests many
of its own input and output circuits. If a fault is
found in a major system, the information is stored in
memory. Technicians can display fault information
through the malfunction indicator lamp (instrument
panel Check Engine lamp) or by connecting the
DRBII scan tool. For diagnostic trouble code informa-
tion, refer to the 3.0 Multi-Port Fuel InjectionÐOn-
Board Diagnostics section of this group.
CCD BUS
Various modules exchange information through a
communications port called the CCD Bus. The pow-
ertrain control module (PCM) transmits the malfunc-
tion indicator (instrument panel check engine lamp)
On/Off signal, engine RPM and vehicle load data on
the CCD Bus.
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
The powertrain control module (PCM) is a digital
computer containing a microprocessor (Fig. 2). The
PCM receives input signals from various switches
and sensors that are referred to as PCM Inputs.
Based on these inputs, the PCM adjusts various en-
gine and vehicle operations through devices referred
to as PCM Outputs. PCM Inputs:
² Air Conditioning Controls
² Battery Voltage
² Brake Switch
