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. 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.

coolant temperature drops to 98ÉC (208ÉF). Refer to
Group 7, Cooling Systems for more information.
The relay is located in the power distribution cen-
ter (PDC) (Fig. 25).
The electric radiator cooling fan is not used on YJ
models.
SCI TRANSMITÐPCM OUTPUT
SCI Transmit is the serial data communication
transmit circuit for the DRB scan tool. The power-
train control module (PCM) transmits data to the
DRB through the SCI Transmit circuit.
SHIFT INDICATORÐPCM OUTPUT
Vehicles equipped with manual transmissions have
an Up-Shift indicator lamp. The lamp is controlled by
the powertrain control module (PCM). The lamp illu-
minates on the instrument panel to indicate when
the driver should shift to the next highest gear for
best fuel economy. The PCM will turn the lamp OFF
after 3 to 5 seconds if the shift of gears is not per-
formed. The up-shift lamp will remain off until vehi-
cle stops accelerating and is brought back to range of
up-shift lamp operation. This will also happen if ve-
hicle is shifted into fifth gear.
The indicator lamp is normally illuminated when
the ignition switch is turned on and it is turned off
when the engine is started up. With the engine run-
ning, the lamp is turned on/off depending upon en-
gine speed and load.
SPEED CONTROLÐPCM OUTPUT
Speed control operation is regulated by the power-
train control module (PCM). The PCM controls the
vacuum to the throttle actuator through the speed
control vacuum and vent solenoids. Refer to Group
8H for speed control information.
TACHOMETERÐPCM OUTPUT
The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies en-
gine rpm values to the instrument cluster tachometer
(if equipped). Refer to Group 8E for tachometer infor-
mation.

The transmission mounted torque converter clutch
(TCC) solenoid is used to control the torque con-
verter. The solenoid is controlled through the power-
train control module (PCM) and by the TCC relay.
This relay is used only on vehicles equipped with a
3-speed automatic transmission.
An electrical output signal is sent from the PCM to
the TCC relay after the PCM receives information
from the vehicle speed, MAP, throttle position and
engine coolant temperature sensors. After the TCC
relay receives this necessary information, it will send
a signal to the torque converter clutch solenoid to
control the torque converter.
On YJ models the TCC relay is located in the en-
gine compartment, on the cowl panel and near the
battery (Fig. 26). On XJ models the TCC relay is lo-
cated in the power distribution center (PDC) (Fig.
25).
AIR CLEANER
The air cleaner assembly used on all models (Figs.
27 or 28) is open to ambient air. The blend air door
and vacuum motor that was used on engines of pre-
vious model years to supply heated air, is no longer
used. The air cleaner housing contains the engine air
cleaner element.
