inserted into the PDC (Fig. 90). A label affixed to the
underside of the PDC cover identifies the relays and
fuses in the PDC.
(25) Inspect battery cable connections for corro-
sion.
(26) Check the power brake booster hose connec-
tion (without anti-lock brake systems) (Fig. 91).
(27) Inspect the speed control vacuum connection
(Fig. 92).(28) Inspect hose and wiring connections at fuel
pump module. Check that wiring connector is making
contact with terminals on pump.
ASD AND FUEL PUMP RELAYS
The following description of operation and
tests apply only to the Automatic Shutdown
(ASD) and fuel pump relays. The terminals on the
bottom of each relay are numbered (Fig. 93) or (Fig.
94).
OPERATION
²Terminal number 30 is connected to battery volt-
age. For both the ASD and fuel pump relays, termi-
nal 30 is connected to battery voltage at all times.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)

²The PCM grounds the coil side of the relay
through terminal number 85.
²Terminal number 86 supplies voltage to the coil
side of the relay.
²When the PCM de-energizes the ASD and fuel
pump relays, terminal number 87A connects to termi-
nal 30. This is the Off position. In the off position,
voltage is not supplied to the rest of the circuit. Ter-
minal 87A is the center terminal on the relay.
²When the PCM energizes the ASD and fuel
pump relays, terminal 87 connects to terminal 30.
This is the On position. Terminal 87 supplies voltage
to the rest of the circuit.
TESTING
The following procedure applies to the ASD and
fuel pump relays.
(1) Remove relay from connector before testing.
(2) With the relay removed from the vehicle, use
an ohmmeter to check the resistance between termi-
nals 85 and 86. The resistance should be between 75
65 ohms.
(3) Connect the ohmmeter between terminals 30
and 87A. The ohmmeter should show continuity
between terminals 30 and 87A.
(4) Connect the ohmmeter between terminals 87
and 30. The ohmmeter should not show continuity at
this time.
(5) Connect one end of a jumper wire (16 gauge or
smaller) to relay terminal 85. Connect the other end
of the jumper wire to the ground side of a 12 volt
power source.
(6) Connect one end of another jumper wire (16
gauge or smaller) to the power side of the 12 volt
power source.Do not attach the other end of the
jumper wire to the relay at this time.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW OHMMETER TO CON-
TACT TERMINALS 85 OR 86 DURING THIS TEST.(7) Attach the other end of the jumper wire to
relay terminal 86. This activates the relay. The ohm-
meter should now show continuity between relay ter-
minals 87 and 30. The ohmmeter should not show
continuity between relay terminals 87A and 30.
(8) Disconnect jumper wires.
(9) Replace the relay if it did not pass the continu-
ity and resistance tests. If the relay passed the tests,
it operates properly. Check the remainder of the ASD
and fuel pump relay circuits. Refer to group 8W, Wir-
ing Diagrams.
MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP) SENSOR
To perform a complete test of the MAP sensor and
its circuitry, refer to the DRB scan tool and appropri-
ate Powertrain Diagnostics Procedures manual. To
test the MAP sensor only, refer to the following:
CAUTION: When testing the MAP sensor, be sure
that the harness wires are not damaged by the test
meter probes.
(1) Test the MAP sensor output voltage at the
MAP sensor connector between terminals 2 and 3
(Fig. 95). With the ignition switch ON and the engine
not running, output voltage should be 4 to 5 volts.
The voltage should drop to 1.5 to 2.1 volts with a hot,
neutral idle speed condition. If OK, go to next step. If
not OK, go to step 3.
(2) Test PCM terminal 36 for the same voltage
described in the previous step to verify wire harness
condition. Repair as required.
(3) Test the MAP sensor ground circuit at sensor
connector terminal 1 and PCM terminal 43. If OK, go
to next step. If not OK, repair as required.
(4) Test MAP sensor supply voltage between sen-
sor connector terminals 2 and 1 with the key ON.
The voltage should be approximately 5 volts (6.5V).
Five volts (6.5V) should also be at terminal 61 of the

PCM. If OK, replace MAP sensor. If not OK, repair or
replace the wire harness as required.
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR
Use an ohmmeter to test the heating element of
the oxygen sensors. Disconnect the electrical connec-
tor from each oxygen sensor. The white wires in the
sensor connector are the power and ground circuits
for the heater. Connect the ohmmeter test leads to
terminals of the white wires in the heated oxygen
sensor connector. Replace the heated oxygen sensor if
the resistance is not between 4 and 7 ohms.
KNOCK SENSOR
The engine knock sensor is affected by a number of
factors. A few of these are: ignition timing, cylinder
pressure, fuel octane, etc. The knock sensor gener-
ates an AC voltage whose amplitude increases with
the increase of engine knock. The knock sensor can
be tested with a digital voltmeter. The RMS voltage
starts at about 20mVac (at about 700 rpm) and
increases to approximately 600 mVac (5000 rpm). If
the output falls outside of this range a DTC will be
set.
CAMSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
Refer to Group 8D, Ignition for Diagnosis and Test-
ing of Camshaft and Crankshaft Sensors.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
(1) With the key off, disconnect wire harness con-
nector from coolant temperature sensor (Fig. 96) or
(Fig. 97) or (Fig. 98).
(2) Connect a high input impedance (digital) volt-
ohmmeter to terminals A and B (Fig. 99). The ohm-
meter should read as follows:
(a) ECT STET at normal operating temperature
around 200ÉF should read approximately 700 to
1,000 ohms.
(b) ECT STET at room temperature around 70ÉF
ohmmeter should read approximately 7,000 to
13,000 ohms.
(3) Test the resistance of the wire harness between
the PCM connector terminal 26 and the sensor har-
ness connector. Also check for continuity between
PCM connector terminal 43 and the sensor harness
connector. Refer to Group 8W, Wiring diagrams for

circuit information. If the resistance is greater than 1
ohm, repair the wire harness as necessary.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
To perform a complete test of the this sensor and
its circuitry, refer to the DRB scan tool and appropri-
ate Powertrain Diagnostics Procedures manual. To
test the throttle position sensor only, refer to the fol-
lowing:
The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) can be tested
with a digital voltmeter (DVM). The center terminal
of the sensor is the output terminal. One of the other
terminals is a 5 volt supply and the remaining ter-
minal is ground.
Connect the DVM between the center and sensor
ground terminal. Refer to Group 8W - Wiring Dia-
grams for correct pinout.
With the ignition switch in the ON position, check
the output voltage at the center terminal wire of the
connector. Check the output voltage at idle and at
Wide-Open-Throttle (WOT). At idle, TPS output volt-
age should be approximately 0.38 volts to 1.2 volts.
At wide open throttle, TPS output voltage should be
approximately 3.1 volts to 4.4 volts. The output volt-
age should gradually increase as the throttle plate
moves slowly from idle to WOT.
Check for spread terminals at the sensor and PCM
connections before replacing the TPS.
