properly aligned ensures correct valve timing. A worn
or stretched timing chain will adversely affect valve
timing. If the timing chain deflects more than 12.7
mm (1/2 inch) replace it. The correct timing chain
has 48 pins. A chain with more than 48 pins will
cause excessive slack.

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.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) operates
the fuel system. The PCM was formerly referred to
as the SBEC or engine controller. The PCM is a pre-
programmed, dual microprocessor digital computer. It
regulates ignition timing, air-fuel ratio, emission con-
trol devices, charging system, speed control, air con-
ditioning compressor clutch engagement and idle
speed. The PCM can adapt its programming to meet
changing operating conditions.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Inputsrep-
resent the instantaneous engine operating conditions.
Air-fuel mixture and ignition timing calibrations for
various driving and atmospheric conditions are pre-
programmed into the PCM. The PCM monitors and
analyzes various inputs. It then computes engine fuel
and ignition timing requirements based on these in-
puts. Fuel delivery control and ignition timing will
then be adjusted accordingly.
Other inputs to the PCM are provided by the brake
light switch, air conditioning select switch and the
speed control switches. All inputs to the PCM are
converted into signals.
Electrically operated fuel injectors spray fuel inprecise metered amounts into the intake port directly
above the intake valve. The injectors are fired in a
specific sequence by the PCM. The PCM maintains
an air/fuel ratio of 14.7 to 1 by constantly adjusting
injector pulse width. Injector pulse width is the
length of time that the injector opens and sprays fuel
into the chamber. The PCM adjusts injector pulse
width by opening and closing the ground path to the
injector.
Manifold absolute pressure (air density) and engine
rpm (speed) are the primary inputs that determine
fuel injector pulse width. The PCM also monitors
other inputs when adjusting air-fuel ratio.
Inputs That Effect Fuel Injector Pulse Width:
²Exhaust gas oxygen content
²Engine coolant temperature
²Manifold absolute pressure (MAP)
²Engine speed
²Throttle position
²Battery voltage
²Air conditioning selection
²Transmission gear selection (automatic transmis-
sions only)
²Speed control
The powertrain control module (PCM) adjusts igni-
tion timing by controlling ignition coil operation. The
ignition coil receives battery voltage when the igni-
tion key is in the run or starter position. The PCM
JFUEL SYSTEM COMPONENT DESCRIPTION/SYSTEM OPERATION 14 - 19
provides a ground for the ignition coil. The coil dis-
charges when the PCM supplies a ground. By switch-
ing the ground path on and off, the PCM regulates
ignition timing.
The sensors and switches that provide inputs to
the powertrain control module (PCM) comprise the
Engine Control System. It is also comprised of the
PCM Outputs (engine control devices that the are op-
erated by the PCM).
SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
The powertrain control module (PCM) tests many
of its own input and output circuits. If a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is found in a major system, this
information is stored in the PCM memory. Refer to
On-Board Diagnostics in the MFI SystemÐGeneral
Diagnosis section of this group for DTC information.
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The PCM operates the fuel system. The PCM was
formerly referred to as the SBEC or engine control-
ler. The PCM is a pre-programmed, dual microproces-
sor digital computer. It regulates ignition timing, air-
fuel ratio, emission control devices, charging system,
speed control, air conditioning compressor clutch en-
gagement and idle speed. The PCM can adapt its
programming to meet changing operating conditions.
On XJ models, the PCM is located in the engine
compartment next to the air cleaner (Fig. 1). On YJ
models, the PCM is located in the engine compart-
ment behind the windshield washer fluid reservoir
(Fig. 2).
The PCM receives input signals from various
switches and sensors. Based on these inputs, the
PCM regulates various engine and vehicle operations
through different system components. These compo-
nents are referred to as PCM Outputs. The sensors
and switches that provide inputs to the PCM are con-
sidered PCM Inputs.The PCM adjusts ignition timing based upon in-
puts it receives from sensors that react to: engine
rpm, manifold absolute pressure, coolant tempera-
ture, throttle position, transmission gear selection
(automatic transmission), vehicle speed and the
brake switch.
The PCM adjusts idle speed based on inputs it re-
ceives from sensors that react to: throttle position,
vehicle speed, transmission gear selection, coolant
temperature and from inputs it receives from the air
conditioning clutch switch and brake switch.
Based on inputs that it receives, the PCM adjusts
ignition coil dwell. The PCM also adjusts the gener-
ator charge rate through control of the generator
field and provides speed control operation.

²Shift indicator lamp (manual transmission only)
²Speed control vacuum solenoid

²Tachometer (on instrument panel, if equipped)
²Torque converter clutch relay (3-speed auto. trans.

The PCM contains a voltage convertor. This con-
verts battery voltage to a regulated 8.0 volts. It is
used to power the crankshaft position sensor, cam-
shaft position sensor and vehicle speed sensor. The
PCM also provides a five (5) volt supply for the Man-
ifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor and Throttle
Position Sensor (TPS).
AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) CONTROLSÐPCM INPUT
The A/C control system information applies to fac-
tory installed air conditioning units only.
A/C SELECT SIGNAL:When the A/C switch is in
the ON position and the A/C low-pressure switch is
closed, an input signal is sent to the powertrain con-
trol module (PCM). The signal informs the PCM that
the A/C has been selected. The PCM adjusts idle
speed to a pre-programmed rpm through the idle air
control (IAC) motor to compensate for increased en-
gine load.
A/C REQUEST SIGNAL:Once A/C has been se-
lected, the PCM receives the A/C request signal from
the evaporator switch. The input indicates that the
evaporator temperature is in the proper range for
A/C application. The PCM uses this input to cycle the
A/C compressor clutch (through the A/C relay). It will
also determine the correct engine idle speed through
the IAC motor position.
If the A/C low-pressure switch opens (indicating a
low refrigerant level), the PCM will not receive an
A/C select signal. The PCM will then remove the
ground from the A/C relay. This will deactivate the
A/C compressor clutch.
If the evaporator switch opens, (indicating that
evaporator is not in proper temperature range), the
PCM will not receive the A/C request signal. The
PCM will then remove the ground from the A/C relay,
deactivating the A/C compressor clutch.
AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN (ASD) SENSEÐPCM
INPUT
A 12 volt signal at this input indicates to the PCM
that the ASD has been activated. The ASD relay is
located in the power distribution center (PDC) in the
engine compartment (Figs. 3 or 4). It is used to con-
nect the ignition coil, generator field winding and
fuel injectors to 12 volt + power supply. Also refer to
Automatic Shutdown RelayÐPCM Output.
This input is used only to sense that the ASD relay
is energized. If the PCM does not see 12 volts at this
input when the ASD should be activated, it will set a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
BATTERY VOLTAGEÐPCM INPUT
The battery voltage input provides power to the
powertrain control module (PCM). It also informs the
PCM what voltage level is supplied to the ignition
coil and fuel injectors.
If battery voltage is low, the PCM will increase in-
jector pulse width (period of time that the injector is
Fig. 3 Power Distribution CenterÐYJ Models
Fig. 4 Power Distribution CenterÐXJ Models
JFUEL SYSTEM COMPONENT DESCRIPTION/SYSTEM OPERATION 14 - 21
energized). This is done to compensate for the re-
duced flow through injector caused by the lowered
voltage.
BRAKE SWITCHÐPCM INPUT
When the brake light switch is activated, the pow-
ertrain control module (PCM) receives an input indi-
cating that the brakes are being applied. After
receiving this input, the PCM maintains idle speed to
a scheduled rpm through control of the idle air con-
trol (IAC) motor. The brake switch input is also used
to operate the speed control system.
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORÐPCM INPUT
A sync signal is provided by the camshaft position
sensor located in the distributor (Fig. 5). The sync
signal from this sensor works in conjunction with the
crankshaft position sensor to provide the powertrain
control module (PCM) with inputs. This is done to es-
tablish and maintain correct injector firing order.
Refer to Camshaft Position Sensor in Group 8D, Ig-
nition System for more information.
DATA LINK CONNECTORÐPCM INPUT
The data link connector (diagnostic scan tool con-
nector) links the DRB scan tool with the powertrain
control module (PCM). The data link connector is lo-
cated in the engine compartment (Figs. 6 or 7). For
operation of the DRB scan tool, refer to the appropri-
ate Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures service man-
ual.
The data link connector uses two different pins on
the PCM. One is for Data Link Transmit and the
other is for Data Link Receive.
INTAKE MANIFOLD AIR TEMPERATURE SENSORÐ
PCM INPUT
The intake manifold air temperature sensor is in-
stalled in the intake manifold with the sensor ele-
ment extending into the air stream (Figs. 8 or 9). Thesensor provides an input voltage to the powertrain
control module (PCM) indicating intake manifold air
temperature. The input is used along with inputs
from other sensors to determine injector pulse width.
As the temperature of the air-fuel stream in the
manifold varies, the sensor resistance changes. This
results in a different input voltage to the PCM.
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSORÐPCM INPUT
This sensor is a Hall Effect device that detects
notches in the flywheel (manual transmission), or
flexplate (automatic transmission).
This sensor is used to indicate to the powertrain
control module (PCM) that a spark and or fuel injec-
tion event is to be required. The output from this
sensor, in conjunction with the camshaft position sen-
sor signal, is used to differentiate between fuel injec-
tion and spark events. It is also used to synchronize
the fuel injectors with their respective cylinders.
Refer to Group 8D, Ignition System for more crank-
shaft position sensor information.

Fig. 7 Data Link ConnectorÐXJ ModelsÐTypical
14 - 22 FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENT DESCRIPTION/SYSTEM OPERATIONJ
The engine will not operate if the PCM does not re-
ceive a crankshaft position sensor input.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSORÐPCM
INPUT
The engine coolant temperature sensor is installed
in the thermostat housing (Fig. 10) and protrudes
into the water jacket. The sensor provides an input
voltage to the powertrain control module (PCM) re-
lating coolant temperature. The PCM uses this input
along with inputs from other sensors to determine in-
jector pulse width and ignition timing. As coolant
temperature varies, the coolant temperature sensor's
resistance changes. The change in resistance results
in a different input voltage to the PCM.
When the engine is cold, the PCM will operate in
Open Loop cycle. It will demand slightly richer air-
fuel mixtures and higher idle speeds. This is done
until normal operating temperatures are reached.
Refer to Open Loop/Closed Loop Modes of Opera-
tion in this section of the group for more information.
EXTENDED IDLE SWITCHÐPCM INPUT
OPTIONAL POLICE PACKAGE ONLY
The extended idle switch is used to raise the en-
gine idle speed to approximately 1000 rpm. This is
when the shifter is in either the Park or Neutral po-
sition. 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.
For testing and diagnosis of this switch and its cir-
cuit, refer to the MFI SystemÐGeneral Diagnosis
section of this group.
IGNITION CIRCUIT SENSEÐPCM INPUT
The ignition circuit sense input tells the powertrain
control module (PCM) the ignition switch has ener-
gized the ignition circuit. Refer to the wiring dia-
grams for circuit information.
MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP)
SENSORÐPCM INPUT
The MAP sensor reacts to absolute pressure in the
intake manifold. It provides an input voltage to the
powertrain control module (PCM). As engine load
changes, manifold pressure varies. The change in
manifold pressure causes MAP sensor voltage to
change. The change in MAP sensor voltage results in
a different input voltage to the PCM. The input volt-
age level supplies the PCM with information about
ambient barometric pressure during engine start-up
(cranking) and engine load while the engine is run-
ning. The PCM uses this input along with inputs
from other sensors to adjust air-fuel mixture.

Fig. 9 Sensor LocationÐ2.5L Engine
Fig. 10 Engine Coolant Temperature SensorÐ
Typical
JFUEL SYSTEM COMPONENT DESCRIPTION/SYSTEM OPERATION 14 - 23
The MAP sensor is mounted on the dash panel.
The sensor is connected to the throttle body with a
vacuum hose and to the PCM electrically.
OXYGEN (O2S) SENSORÐPCM INPUT
The O2S sensor is located in the exhaust down pipe
(Fig. 11). It provides an input voltage to the power-
train control module (PCM) relating the oxygen con-
tent of the exhaust gas. The PCM uses this
information to fine tune the air-fuel ratio by adjust-
ing injector pulse width.
The O2S sensor produces voltages from 0 to 1 volt.
This voltage will depend upon the oxygen content of
the exhaust gas in the exhaust manifold. When a
large amount of oxygen is present (caused by a lean
air-fuel mixture), the sensor produces a low voltage.
When there is a lesser amount present (rich air-fuel
mixture) it produces a higher voltage. By monitoring
the oxygen content and converting it to electrical
voltage, the sensor acts as a rich-lean switch.
The oxygen sensor is equipped with a heating ele-
ment that keeps the sensor at proper operating tem-
perature during all operating modes. Maintaining
correct sensor temperature at all times allows the
system to enter into closed loop operation sooner.
In Closed Loop operation, the powertrain control
module (PCM) monitors the O2S sensor input (along
with other inputs). It then adjusts the injector pulse
width accordingly. During Open Loop operation, the
PCM ignores the O2S sensor input and adjusts injec-
tor pulse width to a preprogrammed value (based on
other sensor inputs).
PARK/NEUTRAL SWITCHÐPCM INPUT
The park/neutral switch is located on the transmis-
sion housing and provides an input to the powertrain
control module (PCM). This will indicate that the au-
tomatic transmission is in Park, Neutral or a drive
gear selection. This input is used to determine idle
speed (varying with gear selection), fuel injector
pulse width, ignition timing advance and vehiclespeed control operation. Refer to Group 21, Transmis-
sions, for testing, replacement and adjustment infor-
mation.
POWER GROUND
The power ground is used to control ground circuits
for the following powertrain control module (PCM)
loads:
²Generator Field Winding
²8 volt (PCM) power supply
²Fuel Injectors
²Ignition Coil
POWER STEERING PRESSURE SWITCHÐPCM
INPUT
A pressure sensing switch is included in the power
steering system (mounted on the high-pressure line).
This switch will be on vehicles equipped with a 2.5L
engine and power steering. The switch (figure 12, YJ
models or figure 13, XJ models) provides an input to
the PCM. This input is provided during periods of
high pump load and low engine rpm; such as during
parking maneuvers. The PCM will then increase the
idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
This is done to prevent the engine from stalling un-
der the increased load.
When steering pump pressure exceeds 1896 kPa6
172 kPa (275625 psi) the PCM will increase the en-
gine idle speed. This will prevent the engine from
stalling.
SCI RECEIVEÐPCM INPUT
SCI Receive is the serial data communication re-
ceive circuit for the DRB scan tool. The powertrain
control module (PCM) receives data from the DRB
through the SCI Receive circuit.
