1993 CHEVROLET PLYMOUTH ACCLAIM relay

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.

(15) Inspect the engine and fuel injector harness to
main harness electrical connections. (16) Verify that all electrical connectors are fully
inserted into relays and that battery connections are
clean and tight (Fig. 11).
(17) Check the 60-way electrical connection at the
PCM for damage or spread terminals. Verify that the
60-way connector is fully inserted into the socket on
the PCM (Fig. 12). Ensure that wires are not
stretched or pulled out of the connector.
(18) Verify the harness connector is attached to
idle air control motor (Fig. 13). (19) Verify the harness connector is attached to
the throttle position sensor (Fig. 13). (20) Inspect the hose connections at throttle body

ifold are secure (Fig. 14). (22) Check vacuum hose connection between vac-
uum source and fuel pressure regulator (Fig. 15). (23) Inspect the charge air temperature sensor

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
Ä FUEL SYSTEMS 14 - 113

² Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
² Distributor Pick-up
² Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
² Oxygen Sensor
² SCI Receive
² Speed Control System Controls
² Throttle Position Sensor
² Park/Neutral Switch (automatic transaxle)
² Vehicle Speed Sensor
PCM Outputs:
² Air Conditioning Clutch Relay ²
Generator Field
² Idle Air Control Motor
² Auto Shutdown (ASD) and Fuel Pump Relays
² Canister Purge Solenoid
² Malfunction Indicator Lamp (Check Engine Lamp)
² Data Link Connector
² Electric EGR Transducer (EET)
² Fuel Injectors
² Ignition Coil
² Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid
² Radiator Fan Relay
² Speed Control Solenoids
² Tachometer Output
Based on inputs it receives, the PCM adjusts fuel
injector pulse width, idle speed, ignition spark ad-
vance, ignition coil dwell and canister purge opera-
tion. The PCM regulates the cooling fan, air
conditioning and speed control systems. The PCM
changes generator charge rate by adjusting the gen-
erator field. The PCM adjusts injector pulse width (air-fuel ra-
tio) based on the following inputs.
² battery voltage
² engine coolant temperature
² exhaust gas content
² engine speed (distributor pick-up)
² manifold absolute pressure
² throttle position
