DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
VISUAL INSPECTIONÐSOHC
Before diagnosing or servicing the fuel injection
system, perform a visual inspection for loose, discon-
nected, or misrouted wires and hoses. A thorough
visual inspection that includes the following checks
saves unnecessary test and diagnostic time.
(1) Inspect the battery connections. Clean corroded
terminals.
(2) Check the 2 PCM 40-way connector for
stretched wires on pushed out terminals
(3) Open the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
Check for blown fuses. Ensure the relays and fuses
are fully seated in the PDC. A label on the underside
of the PDC cover shows the locations of each relay
and fuse.
(4) Verify the throttle cable operates freely.
(5) Check the electrical connections at the idle air
control motor and throttle position sensor.
(6) Check hose connections between the PCV
valve, vacuum port - intake manifold and the oil sep-
arator (Fig. 13).
(7) Inspect the electrical connections at the MAP
sensor/intake air temperature sensor and the (Fig.
14).
(8) Inspect the fuel injector electrical connections
(Fig. 15).
(9) Inspect the ignition coil electrical connector.
Ensure the spark plug insulators are firmly seated
over the spark plugs (Fig. 16).
(10) Check the electrical connection to the radiator
fan.
(11) Inspect for corrosion on the electrical connec-
tions at the starter motor solenoid. Check the ground
cable connection below the starter motor (Fig. 17).
(12) Inspect the air cleaner filter element. Replace
as necessary. Check the air induction system for
restrictions.

tronic EGR Transducer. Inspect the vacuum and back
pressure hoses at the solenoid and transducer for
leaks (Fig. 20).
(16) Inspect the electrical connections at the gen-
erator (Fig. 21). Check the generator belt for glazing
or damage.(17) Inspect the electrical connector at the crank-
shaft position sensor (Fig. 22).
(18) Check the electrical connection at the vehicle

nection at the fuel tank for corrosion or damage (Fig.27). Check for pinched, kinked or damaged fuel sup-
ply tube.

MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP)
SENSORÐ2.0L ENGINE
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:

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
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 1 and 4
(Fig. 29). 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 3 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.
KNOCK SENSORÐ2.0L ENGINE
The knock sensor output voltage to the PCM can
be read with the DRB III scan tool. Sensor output
should be between 80 mV and 4 volts with the engine
running between 576 and 2208 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
Refer to the Engine Coolant Temperature sensor
for the 2.4/3.0/3.3/3.8L engines under Diagnosis and
Testing in the Fuel Injection System section of group
14 for more information.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
To perform a complete test of the this sensor and
its circuitry, the DRB III scan tool is the best
method. To test the throttle position sensor only,
refer to the following:
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.

LocationÐSOHC
14 - 40 FUEL SYSTEMÐ2.5L DIESEL ENGINE/2.0L GAS ENGINENS/GS
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
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.
THROTTLE BODY MINIMUM AIR FLOW
(1) Turn ignition key to Off.
(2) D
isconnect the PCV valve hose from the intake
manifold nipple (Fig. 31). Cap the PCV vacuum nipple.
(3) Disconnect purge hose from the nipple on the
throttle body (Fig. 32).(4) Use a piece of hose to attach Air Metering Ori-
fice 6457 (0.125 in. orifice) to the purge nipple on the
throttle body (Fig. 33).
(5) Ensure that all accessories are off.
(6) Connect the DRB scan tool to the data link
connector inside the passenger compartment.
(7) Run engine in Park or Neutral until the cooling
fan has cycled on and off at least once (180ÉF).
(8) Using the DRB scan tool, access Minimum Air-
flow Idle Speed.
(9) The following will then occur:
²Idle air control motor will fully close
²Idle spark advance will become fixed
²PCM will go open loop enriched
²DRB scan tool displays engine RPM
(10) If idle RPM is within the range shown in the
Idle Specification chart, throttle body minimum air-
flow is set correctly.IDLE SPECIFICATION Ð2.0L ENGINE
Odometer Reading Idle RPM
Below 1000 Miles...............550±1300 RPM
Above 1000 Miles...............600±1300 RPM
(11) If idle RPM is above specifications, use the
DRB scan tool to check idle air control motor opera-
tion. If idle air control motor is OK, replace throttle
body. If idle air flow is below specification, shut off
the engine and clean the throttle body as follows:
WARNING: CLEAN THROTTLE BODY IN A WELL
VENTILATED AREA. WEAR RUBBER OR BUTYL
GLOVES, DO NOT LET MOPAR PARTS CLEANER
COME IN CONTACT WITH EYES OR SKIN. AVOID
INGESTING THE CLEANER. WASH THOROUGHLY
AFTER USING CLEANER.
