AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) CLUTCH RELAYÐPCM
OUTPUT
The powertrain control module (PCM) activates the
A/C compressor through the A/C clutch relay. The
PCM regulates A/C compressor operation by switch-
ing the ground circuit for the A/C clutch relay on and
off. The relay is located in the power distribution
center (PDC) (Figs. 17 or 18). For the location of the
relay within the PDC, refer to label on PDC cover.
When the PCM receives a request for A/C from A/C
evaporator switch, it will adjust idle air control (IAC)
motor position. This is done to increase idle speed.
The PCM will then activate the A/C clutch through
the A/C clutch relay. The PCM adjusts idle air control
(IAC) stepper motor position to compensate for in-
creased engine load from the A/C compressor.By switching the ground path for the relay on and
off, the PCM is able to cycle the A/C compressor
clutch. This is based on changes in engine operating
conditions. If, during A/C operation, the PCM senses
low idle speeds or a wide open throttle condition, it
will de-energize the relay. This prevents A/C clutch
engagement. The relay will remain de-energized until
the idle speed increases or the wide open throttle
condition exceeds 15 seconds or no longer exists. The
PCM will also de-energize the relay if coolant tem-
perature exceeds 125ÉC (257ÉF).
AUTO SHUTDOWN (ASD) RELAYÐPCM OUTPUT
The ASD relay is located in the power distribution
center (PDC) (Figs. 17 or 18). For the location of this
relay within the PDC, refer to label on PDC cover.
The ASD supplies battery voltage to the fuel injec-
tors, ignition coil and generator field winding. The
ground circuit for the coil in the ASD relay is con-
trolled by the powertrain control module (PCM). The
PCM operates the relay by switching the ground cir-
cuit on and off.
The fuel pump relay is controlled by the PCM
through same circuit that the ASD relay is con-
trolled.
The powertrain control module (PCM) energizes
the fuel pump through the fuel pump relay. (The
PCM was formerly referred to as the SBEC or engine
controller). Battery voltage is applied to the relay
from the ignition switch. The relay is energized when
a ground is provided by the PCM. The relay is lo-
cated in the power distribution center (PDC) (Figs.
17 or 18). For the location of fuel pump relay within
PDC, refer to label on PDC cover.
For the 1995 model year, the ballast resistor and
ballast resistor bypass relay are no longer used to
control the fuel pump circuit.

14 - 26 FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENT DESCRIPTION/SYSTEM OPERATIONJ

The throttle body has an air control passage that
provides air for the engine at idle (the throttle plate
is closed). The IAC motor pintle protrudes into the
air control passage and regulates air flow through it.
Based on various sensor inputs, the powertrain con-
trol module (PCM) adjusts engine idle speed by mov-
ing the IAC motor pintle in and out of the air control
passage. The IAC motor is positioned when the igni-
tion key is turned to the On position.
A (factory adjusted) set screw is used to mechani-
cally limit the position of the throttle body throttle
plate.Never attempt to adjust the engine idle
speed using this screw.All idle speed functions are
controlled by the PCM.
IGNITION COILÐPCM OUTPUT
System voltage is supplied to the ignition coil pos-
itive terminal. The powertrain control module (PCM)
operates the ignition coil.Base (initial) ignition
timing is not adjustable.The PCM adjusts ignition
timing to meet changing engine operating conditions.
The ignition coil is located near the distributor
(Fig. 22).
Refer to Group 8D, Ignition System for additional
information.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMPÐPCM OUTPUT
The malfunction indicator lamp illuminates each
time the ignition key is turned on. It will stay on for
approximately three seconds as a bulb test. The lamp
is displayed on the instrument panel as the CHECK
ENGINE lamp (Figs. 23 or 24).
If the powertrain control module (PCM) receives an
incorrect signal, or no signal from certain sensors or
emission related systems, the lamp is turned on. This
is a warning that the PCM has recorded a system or
sensor malfunction. In some cases, when a problem is
declared, the PCM will go into a limp-in mode. This
is an attempt to keep the system operating. It signals
an immediate need for service.The lamp can also be used to display a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC). Cycle the ignition switch On-
Off-On-Off-On within three seconds and any codes
stored in the PCM memory will be displayed. This is
done in a series of flashes representing digits. Refer
to On-Board Diagnostics in the General Diagnosis
section of this group for more information.
RADIATOR FAN RELAYÐPCM OUTPUT
XJ MODELS ONLY
The electric radiator cooling fan used in XJ models
(equipped with 4.0L engine, heavy duty cooling
and/or air conditioning) is controlled by the power-
train control module (PCM) through radiator fan re-
lay. The relay is energized when coolant temperature
is above 103ÉC (217ÉF). It will then de-energize when

14 - 28 FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENT DESCRIPTION/SYSTEM OPERATIONJ

²The PCM adjusts ignition timing by increasing
and decreasing spark advance.
²The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch
through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested
by the A/C thermostat.
The optional Extended Idle Switch is used to raise
the engine idle speed to approximately 1000 rpm.
This is when the shifter is in either the Park or Neu-
tral position. A rocker-type 2-wire switch (extended
idle switch) is mounted to the instrument panel. This
switch will supply a ground circuit to the powertrain
control module (PCM).The switch is available
only with 4.0L engine when supplied with the
optional police package.
CRUISE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this
is a Closed Loop mode. At cruising speed, the power-
train control module (PCM) receives inputs from:
²Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
²Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
²Battery voltage
²Engine coolant temperature sensor
²Crankshaft position sensor
²Intake manifold air temperature sensor
²Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
²Throttle position sensor (TPS)
²Camshaft position sensor signal (in the distribu-
tor)
²Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signalÐauto.
trans. only)
²Oxygen (O2S) sensor
Based on these inputs, the following occurs:
²Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the
PCM. The PCM will then adjust the injector pulse
width by turning the ground circuit to each individ-
ual injector on and off.
²The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and ad-
justs air-fuel ratio. It also adjusts engine idle speed
through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
²The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the
ground path to the coil on and off.
²The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch
through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested
by the A/C thermostat.
ACCELERATION MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The powertrain control
module (PCM) recognizes an abrupt increase in
throttle position or MAP pressure as a demand for
increased engine output and vehicle acceleration. The
PCM increases injector pulse width in response to in-
creased throttle opening.
DECELERATION MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this
is an Open Loop mode. During hard deceleration, the
powertrain control module (PCM) receives the follow-
ing inputs.
²Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
²Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
²Battery voltage
²Engine coolant temperature sensor
²Crankshaft position sensor
²Intake manifold air temperature sensor
²Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
²Throttle position sensor (TPS)
²Camshaft position sensor signal (in the distribu-
tor)
²Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signalÐauto.
trans. only)
If the vehicle is under hard deceleration with the
proper rpm and closed throttle conditions, the PCM
will ignore the oxygen sensor input signal. The PCM
will enter a fuel cut-off strategy in which it will not
supply battery voltage to the injectors. If a hard de-
celeration does not exist, the PCM will determine the
proper injector pulse width and continue injection.
Based on the above inputs, the PCM will adjust en-
gine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) mo-
tor.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the
ground path to the coil on and off.
The PCM opens the ground circuit to the A/C
clutch relay to disengage the A/C compressor clutch.
This is done until the vehicle is no longer under de-
celeration (if the A/C system is operating).
WIDE OPEN THROTTLE MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During wide open
throttle operation, the powertrain control module
(PCM) receives the following inputs.
²Battery voltage
²Crankshaft position sensor
²Engine coolant temperature sensor
²Intake manifold air temperature sensor
²Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
²Throttle position sensor (TPS)
²Camshaft position sensor signal (in the distribu-
tor)
During wide open throttle conditions, the following
occurs:
²Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the
powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM will
then control the injection sequence and injector pulse
width by turning the ground circuit to each individ-
ual injector on and off. The PCM ignores the oxygen
sensor input signal and provides a predetermined
amount of additional fuel. This is done by adjusting
injector pulse width.
²The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the
ground path to the coil on and off.
14 - 32 FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENT DESCRIPTION/SYSTEM OPERATIONJ

²The PCM opens the ground circuit to the A/C
clutch relay to disengage the A/C compressor clutch.
This will be done for approximately 15 seconds (if the
air conditioning system is operating).
If the vehicle has a manual transmission, the up-
shift lamp is operated by the PCM.
IGNITION SWITCH OFF MODE
When ignition switch is turned to OFF position,
the PCM stops operating the injectors, ignition coil,
ASD relay and fuel pump relay.
THROTTLE BODY
Filtered air from the air cleaner enters the intake
manifold through the throttle body (Fig. 29). Fuel
does not enter the intake manifold through the throt-
tle body. Fuel is sprayed into the manifold by the fuel
injectors. The throttle body is mounted on the intake
manifold. It contains an air control passage (Fig. 30)
controlled by an Idle Air Control (IAC) motor. The air
control passage is used to supply air for idle condi-
tions. A throttle valve (plate) is used to supply air for
above idle conditions.
The throttle position sensor (TPS) and idle air con-
trol (IAC) motor are attached to the throttle body.
The accelerator pedal cable, speed control cable and
transmission control cable (when equipped) are con-
nected to the throttle arm.
A (factory adjusted) set screw is used to mechani-
cally limit the position of the throttle body throttle
plate.Never attempt to adjust the engine idle
speed using this screw.All idle speed functions are
controlled by the PCM.
FUEL RAIL
The fuel rail supplies fuel to the injectors and is
mounted to the intake manifold (Fig. 31). The fuel
pressure regulator is attached to the rail and the fuel
pressure test port is integral with the rail. The fuel
rail is not repairable.
FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR
The fuel pressure regulator (Fig. 32) is a mechani-
cal device that is not controlled by the powertrain
control module (PCM).

GENERAL INFORMATION
All 2.5L 4-cylinder and 4.0L 6-cylinder engines are
equipped with sequential Multi-Port Fuel Injection
(MFI). The MFI system provides precise air/fuel ra-
tios for all driving conditions.
VISUAL INSPECTION
A visual inspection for loose, disconnected, or incor-
rectly routed wires and hoses should be made. This
should be done before attempting to diagnose or ser-
vice the fuel injection system. A visual check will
help spot these faults and save unnecessary test and
diagnostic time. A thorough visual inspection will in-
clude the following checks:
(1) Verify that the 60-way connector is fully in-
serted into the connector of the powertrain control
module (PCM) (Figs. 1 or 2). Verify that the connec-
tor mounting bolt is tightened to 4 Nzm (35 in. lbs.)
torque.(2) Inspect the battery cable connections. Be sure
they are clean and tight.
(3) Inspect fuel pump relay and air conditioning
compressor clutch relay (if equipped). Inspect ASD
relay and radiator fan relay (if equipped) connec-
tions. Inspect starter motor relay connections. In-
spect relays for signs of physical damage and
corrosion. The relays are installed in the power dis-
tribution center (PDC) (Figs. 3 or 4).
(4) Inspect ignition coil connections. Verify that coil
secondary cable is firmly connected to coil (Figs. 5 or
6).
(5) Verify that distributor cap is correctly attached
to distributor. Be sure that spark plug cables are
firmly connected to the distributor cap and the spark
plugs in their correct firing order. Be sure that coil
cable is firmly connected to distributor cap and coil.
Be sure that camshaft position sensor wire connector
is firmly connected to harness connector (Figs. 7 or
8). Inspect spark plug condition. Refer to Group 8D,

(8) Disconnect jumper wires from relay and 12 Volt
power source.
If continuity or resistance tests did not pass, re-
place relay. If tests passed, refer to Group 8W, Wiring
Diagrams for additional circuit information. Also re-
fer to the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic Proce-
dures manual for operation of the DRB scan tool.
STARTER MOTOR RELAY TEST
Refer to Group 8A, Battery/Starting/Charging/Sys-
tem Diagnostics, for starter motor relay testing.
FUEL INJECTOR TEST
To perform a complete test of the fuel injectors and
their circuitry, refer to DRB scan tool and appropri-
ate Powertrain Diagnostics Procedures manual. To
test the injector only, refer to the following:
Disconnect the injector wire connector from the in-
jector. Place an ohmmeter on the injector terminals.
Resistance reading should be approximately 14.5
ohms61.2 ohms at 20ÉC (68ÉF). Proceed to the fol-
lowing Injector Diagnosis chart.When performing
the following tests from the chart, do not leave
electrical current applied to the injector for
longer than five seconds. Damage to injector
coil or internal injector seals could result.
FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE TEST
Refer to the Fuel Delivery System section of this
group. See Fuel System Pressure Test.
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS (OBD)
The powertrain control module (PCM) has been
programmed to monitor many different circuits of the
fuel injection system. If a problem is sensed in a
monitored circuit often enough to indicate an actual
problem, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is stored.
The DTC will be stored in the PCM memory for even-
tual display to the service technician. If the problem
is repaired or ceases to exist, the PCM cancels the
DTC after 51 engine starts.Certain criteria must be met for a diagnostic trou-
ble code (DTC) 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 DTC for a monitored circuit
may not be entered into memory even though a mal-
function has occurred. This may happen because one
of the DTC criteria for the circuit has not been met.
Example: assume that one of the criteria for the
MAP sensor circuit is that the engine must be oper-
ating between 750 and 2000 rpm to be monitored for
a DTC. If the MAP sensor output circuit shorts to
ground when the engine rpm is above 2400 rpm, a 0
volt input will be seen by the PCM. A DTC will not
be entered into memory because the condition does
not occur within the specified rpm range.
A DTC indicates that the powertrain control mod-
ule (PCM) has recognized an abnormal signal in a
circuit or the system. A DTC may indicate the result
of a failure, but never identify the failed component
directly.
There are several operating conditions that the
PCM does not monitor and set a DTC for. Refer to
the following Monitored Circuits and Non-Monitored
Circuits in this section.
MONITORED CIRCUITS
The powertrain control module (PCM) can detect
certain problems in the fuel injection system.
Open or Shorted Circuit- The PCM can deter-
mine if sensor output (which is the input to PCM) is
within proper range. It also determines 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 to (+) voltage.
Oxygen Sensor- The PCM can determine if the
oxygen sensor is switching between rich and lean.
This is, once the system has entered Closed Loop. Re-
fer to Open Loop/Closed Loop Modes Of Operation in
the Component Description/System Operation section
for an explanation of Closed (or Open) Loop opera-
tion.
NON-MONITORED CIRCUITS
The PCM does not monitor the following circuits,
systems or conditions that could have malfunctions
that result in driveability problems. A Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) may not be displayed for these
conditions.
Fuel Pressure:Fuel pressure is controlled by the
vacuum assisted fuel pressure regulator. The PCM
cannot detect a clogged fuel pump inlet filter, clogged
in-line fuel filter, or a pinched fuel supply or return
Fig. 44 Fuel Injector Internal ComponentsÐTypical
JFUEL SYSTEM GENERAL DIAGNOSIS 14 - 51

line. However, these could result in a rich or lean
condition causing an oxygen sensor DTC to be stored
in the PCM.
Secondary Ignition Circuit:The PCM cannot
detect an inoperative ignition coil, fouled or worn
spark plugs, ignition cross firing, or open circuited
spark plug cables.
Engine Timing:The PCM cannot detect an incor-
rectly indexed timing chain, camshaft sprocket or
crankshaft sprocket. The PCM also cannot detect an
incorrectly indexed distributor. However, these could
result in a rich or lean condition causing an oxygen
sensor DTC to be stored in the PCM.
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 de-
termine if the fuel injector is clogged, or the wrong
injector is installed. However, these could result in a
rich or lean condition causing an oxygen sensor DTC
to be stored in the PCM.
Excessive Oil Consumption:Although the PCM
monitors exhaust stream oxygen content through ox-
ygen sensor (closed loop), it cannot determine exces-
sive oil consumption.
Throttle Body Air Flow:The PCM cannot detect
a clogged or restricted air cleaner inlet or air cleaner
element.
Evaporative System:The PCM will not detect a
restricted, plugged or loaded EVAP canister.
Vacuum Assist:Leaks or restrictions in the vac-
uum circuits of vacuum assisted engine control sys-
tem devices are not monitored by the PCM. However,
a vacuum leak at the MAP sensor will be monitored
and a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will be gener-
ated by the PCM.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) System
Ground:The PCM cannot determine a poor system
ground. However, a DTC may be generated as a re-
sult of this condition.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Connector
Engagement:The PCM cannot determine spread or
damaged connector pins. However, a DTC 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. It will es-
tablish 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
(DTC) criteria are met, a DTC will be stored in mem-
ory. Other DTC criteria might include engine rpm
limits or input voltages from other sensors or
switches. The other inputs might have to be sensed
by the PCM when it senses a high or low input volt-
age from the control system device in question.
ACCESSING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
A stored diagnostic trouble code (DTC) can be dis-
played by cycling the ignition key On-Off-On-Off-On
within three seconds and observing the malfunction
indicator lamp. This lamp is displayed on the instru-
ment panel as the CHECK ENGINE lamp (Figs. 45
or 46).
They can also be displayed through the use of the
Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB) scan tool. The DRB
scan tool connects to the data link connector in the
engine compartment (Figs. 47 or 48). For operation of
the DRB, refer to the appropriate Powertrain Diag-
nostic Procedures service manual.
