ECM/PCM Data
By connecting the OBD ll scan tool or the Honda pGM Tester to the l6p data link connector (DLC), various data can beretrieved from the EcM/PcM. The items Iisted in the table below conform to the sAE recommended practice.The Honda PGM Tester also reads data beyond that recommended bv SAE.understanding this data wil help to find the causes of intermittent fairures or engine probrems,
NOTE:
' The "operating values" given below are approximate values and may be different depending on the environment andthe individual vehicle.. Unless noted otherwise, "at idle speed,, means idling with the engine completely warmed up, Ay'T in position @ or E],M/T in neutral, and the Ay'C and all accessories turned off.

The ECT sensor converts coolant temperature into volt_age and signals the ECM/PCM. The sensor is a thermistorwhose internal resistance changes with coolant temDera_ture. The ECM/PCM uses the voltage signals from theECT sensor to determine the amount of iniected fuel.

Sensor 2)
The Heated Oxygen Sensor detects the oxygen contentin the exhaust gas and sends voltage signals to theECI\4/PCM. Based on these signats, the ECM/pCM con_trols the airlfuel ratio. When the oxygen content is high(that is, when the ratio is leaner than the stoichiometricratio), the voltage signal is lower.When the oxygen content is low (that is, when the ratiois richer than the stoichiometric ratio), the voltage signalis higher.

DataDescriotion
Loop status is indicated as "open" or "closed"'
Closed: Based on the HO2S output, the ECM/PCM deter-
mines the airlfuel ratio and controls the amount of inject-
ed fuel.
Open: lgnoring HO2S output, the ECM/PCM refers to sig-
nals from the TP, MAP, and ECT sensors to control the
amount of injected fuel.
The air/fuel ratio correction coefficient for correcting the
amount ot injected fuel when H02S feedback is in the
closed loop status When the signal from the HO2S is
weak, short term fuel trim gets higher, and the ECM/PCM
increases the amount of injected fuel The airlfuel ratio
gradually gets richer, causing a higher HO2S output
Consequently, the short term fuel trim is lowered, and
the ECMiPCM reduces the amount of injected fuel
This cvcle keeps the airlfuel ratio close to the stoichio-
metric ratio when in closed loop status'

PGM-FI Sy3lem
The PGM-Fl system on this model is a sequential multipon fuel injection system.
Fuel iniector Timing and Duration
The ECM/PCM contains memories for the basic discharge durations at various engine speeds and manifold air flow rates.
The basic discharge duration, after being read out from the memory. is further modified by signals sent from various sen-
sors to obtain the final discharge duration.
ldle Air Control
ldle Air Control Valve llAC Valve)
When the engine is cold. the A,/C compressor is on, the transmission is in gear, the brake pedal is depressed, the P/S load
is high, or the alternator is charging, the ECM/PCM controls current to the IAC Valve to maintain the correct idle speed.
lgnition Timing Control
. The ECM/PCM contains memories for basic ignition timing at various engine speeds and manifold air flow rates.
lgnition timing is also adjusted for engine coolant temperature.
. Aknockcontrol system was adopted which sets the ideal ignition timing for the octane rating ofthegasoline used.*3
Othgr Control Funqtions
1. Starting Control
When the engine is started, the ECM/PCM provides a rich mixture by increasing fuel injector duration.
2. Fuel Pump Control
. When the ignition switch is initially turned on, the ECM/PCM supplies ground to the PGM-Fl main relay that sup-plies current to the fuel pump for two seconds to pressurize the fuel system.. When the engine is running, the ECI\4PCM supplies ground to the PGM-FI majn relay that supplies current to the fuel
oumo.
. When the engine is not running and the ignition is on, the ECM/PCM cuts ground to the PGM-FI main relay which
cuts current to the fuel pump.
