6E–339 ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
0005
PCM Components
The PCM is designed to maintain exhaust emission levels
to government mandated standards while providing
excellent driveability and fuel efficiency. The PCM
monitors numerous engine and vehicle functions via
electronic sensors such as the throttle position (TP)
sensor, heated oxygen sensor (HO2S), and vehicle
speed sensor (VSS). The PCM also controls certain
engine operations through the following:
Fuel injector control
Ignition control module
Knock sensor
Automatic transmission shift functions
Cruise control
A/C clutch control
PCM Voltage Description
The PCM supplies a buffered voltage to various switches
and sensors. It can do this because resistance in the
PCM is so high in value that a test light may not illuminate
when connected to the circuit. An ordinary shop
voltmeter may not give an accurate reading because the
voltmeter input impedance is too low. Use a 10-megohm
input impedance digital voltmeter (such as J 39200) to
assure accurate voltage readings.
The input/output devices in the PCM include
analog-to-digital converters, signal buffers, counters,
and special drivers. The PCM controls most components
with electronic switches which complete a ground circuit
when turned “ON.” These switches are arranged in
groups of 4 and 7, called either a surface-mounted quad
driver module (QDM), which can independently control up
to 4 output terminals, or QDMs which can independently
control up to 7 outputs. Not all outputs are always used.

PCM Service Precautions
The PCM is designed to withstand normal current draws
associated with vehicle operation. Avoid overloading any
circuit. When testing for opens and shorts, do not ground
or apply voltage to any of the PCM’s circuits unless
instructed to do so. These circuits should only be tested
Tech-2. The PCM should remain connected to the PCM
or to a recommended breakout box.
Reprogramming The PCM
The Trooper allow reprogramming of the PCM without
removing it from the vehicle . This provides a flexible and
cost-effective method of making changes in software
calibrations.
The service programming system (SPS) will not allow
incorrect software programming or incorrect calibration
changes.
Refer to the UBS 98model year Immobilizer Workshop
Manual.
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The throttle position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer
connected to the throttle shaft on the throttle body. The
PCM monitors the voltage on the signal line and
calculates throttle position. As the throttle valve angle is
changed (accelerator pedal moved), the TP sensor signal
also changes. At a closed throttle position, the output of

or interval).B+
Battery voltage, (B+) The voltage available at the battery
at the time of the indicated measurement. With the key
“ON” and the engine not running, the system voltage will
likely be between 12 and 12.5 volts. At idle, the voltage
may be 14 to 16 volts. The voltage could be as low as 10
volts during engine cranking.
Bulb Check
The SDM will cause the “AIR BAG” warning lamp to turn
on 3.5 seconds and then go “OFF” whenever the ignition
switch transitions to the ON position from any other
ignition switch position and no malfunctions are detected.
“Continuous Monitoring”
Tests performed by the SDM on the SRS every 100
milliseconds while “Ignition 1” voltage is in the normal
operating voltage range at the SDM.
Data Link Connector (DLC)
Formerly “DLC” a connector which allows communication
with an external computer, such as a scan tool.
Datum Line
A base line parallel to the plane of the underbody or frame
from which all vertical measurements originate.
Deploy
To inflate the air bag.
Deployment Loops
The circuits which supply current to the air bag
assemblies to deploy the air bag.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
Formerly “Code”, a numerical designator used by the
SDM to indicate specific SRS malfunctions.
Driver Current Source

air bag assembly circuit during the “Initiator Assembly
Resistance Test”.
Driver Air Bag Assembly
An assembly located in the steering wheel hub consisting
of an inflatable bag, an inflator and an initiator.
EEPROM
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory.
Memory which retains its contents when power is
removed from the SDM.

The electrical component inside the air bag assembly
which, when sufficient current flows, sets off the chemical
reaction that inflates the air bag.
“Initiator Assembly Resistance Test”
Tests performed once each ignition cycle when no
malfunctions are detected during “Turn–ON” or
“Continuous Monitoring”. This test checks for the correct
SDM configuration for the vehicle, shorts to “Ignition 1” in

the deployment loops, high resistance or opens in the
“Driver Side High”, “Driver Side Low”, “Passenger Side
High” and “Passenger Side Low” circuits and measures
the resistance of the inflator assembly consisting of 1)
Initiators, 2) SRS coil assembly (driver side only), 3)
Connectors and associated wiring.

SRS Coil Assembly
An assembly of two current–carrying coils in the driver
deployment loop that allows the rotation of the steering
wheel while maintaining the continuous contact of the
driver deployment loop to the driver air bag assembly.
SRS Wiring Harness
The wires and connectors that electrically connect the
components in the SRS.
“Turn–ON”
Test which the SDM performs on the SRS once during
each ignition cycle immediately after “Ignition 1” voltage
is applied to the SDM and before “Continuous
Monitoring”.
Diagnosis
WARNING: TO AVOID DEPLOYMENT WHEN
TROUBLESHOOTING THE SRS, DO NOT USE
ELECTRICAL TEST EQUIPMENT SUCH AS A
BATTERY–POWERED OR AC–POWERED
VOLTMETER, OHMMETER, ETC., OR ANY TYPE OF
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT OTHER THAN THAT
SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL. DO NOT USE A
NONPOWERED PROBE–TYPE TESTER.
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL MUST BE
FOLLOWED CAREFULLY, OTHERWISE PERSONAL
INJURY MAY RESULT.
Diagnostic Trouble Codes
The “SRS Diagnostic System Check” must always be the
starting point of any SRS diagnosis. The “SRS
Diagnostic System Check” checks for proper “AIR BAG”
warning lamp operation and checks for SRS diagnostic
trouble codes using the scan tool.
1. Current diagnostic trouble codes – Malfunctions that
are presently being detected. Current diagnostic
trouble codes are stored in RAM (Random Access
Memory).
2. History diagnostic trouble codes – All malfunctions
detected since the last time the history memory was
cleared. History diagnostic trouble codes are stored
in EEPROM.
Scan Tool Diagnostics
A scan tool is used to read current and history diagnostic
trouble codes and to clear all diagnostic trouble codes
after a repair is completed. The scan tool must be
updated to communicate with the SRS through a
replaceable cartridge before it can be used for SRS
diagnostics. To use the scan tool, connect it to the data
link connector and turn the ignition switch “ON”. The scan
tool reads serial data from the SDM “Serial Data” line
terminal “24” to the data link connector terminal “9”.
