1.0 INTRODUCTION
The procedures contained in this manual include
specifications, instructions, and graphics needed to
diagnose the PCM Powertrain System. The diag-
nostics in this manual are based on the failure
condition or symptom being present at time of
diagnosis.
Please follow the recommendations below when
choosing your diagnostic path.
1. First make sure the DRBIIItis communicating
with the appropriate modules; ie., if the DRBIIIt
displays a ``No Response'' condition, you must
diagnose this first before proceeding.
2. Read DTC's (diagnostic trouble codes) with the
DRBIIIt.
3. If no DTC's are present, identify the customer
complaint.
4. Once the DTC or customer complaint is identi-
fied, locate the matching test in the Table of
Contents and begin to diagnose the symptom.
All component location views are in Section 8.0.
All connector pinouts are in Section 9.0. All system
schematics are in Section 10.0.
An * placed before the symptom description indi-
cates a customer complaint.
When repairs are required, refer to the appropri-
ate service manual for the proper removal and
repair procedure.
Diagnostic procedures change every year. New
diagnostic systems may be added; carryover sys-
tems may be enhanced. READ THIS MANUAL
BEFORE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE A VEHICLE
CODE. It is recommended that you review the
entire manual to become familiar with all new and
changed diagnostic procedures.
After using this book, if you have any comments
or recommendations, please fill out the form at the
back of the book and mail it back to us.
1.1 SYSTEM COVERAGE
This diagnostic procedures manual covers the
following 2000 Chrysler Caravan Voyager vehicles
equipped with the 2.0L, 2.4L DOHC, 3.0L MPI,
3.3L/3.8L MPI, or 3.3L E85 compatible Engine.
1.2 SIX-STEP TROUBLESHOOTING
PROCEDURE
Diagnosis of the powertrain control module
(PCM) is done in six basic steps:
²verification of complaint
²verification of any related symptoms
²symptom analysis
²problem isolation
²repair of isolated problem
²verification of proper operation
2.0 IDENTIFICATION OF
SYSTEM
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors
and controls:
²Fuel system
²Ignition system
²charging system
²speed control system
²cooling system
3.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND
FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
These Sequential Fuel Injection (SFI) engine sys-
tems have the latest in technical advances. The
on-board Euro Stage III On-Board Diagnostic incor-
porated with the powertrain control module (PCM)
are intended to assist the field technician in repair-
ing vehicle problems by the quickest means.
3.2 FUNCTION OPERATION
3.2.1 FUEL CONTROL
The PCM controls the air/fuel ratio of the engine
by varying fuel injector on time. Mass air flow is
calculated using the speed density method using
engine speed, manifold absolute pressure, and air
temperature change.
Different fuel calculation strategies are used de-
pendent on the operational state of the engine.
During crank mode, a prime shot fuel pulse is
delivered followed by fuel pulses determined by a
crank time strategy. Cold engine operation is deter-
mined via an open loop strategy until the O2
sensors have reached operating temperature. At
this point, the strategy enters a closed loop mode
where fuel requirements are based upon the state of
the O2 sensors, engine speed, MAP, throttle posi-
tion, air temperature, battery voltage, and coolant
temperature.

3.2.3 OTHER CONTROLS
CHARGING SYSTEM
The charging system is turned on when the
engine is started and ASD relay energized. When
the ASD relay is on, ASD output voltage is supplied
to the ASD sense circuit at the PCM. This voltage is
connected in some cases, through the PCM and
supplied to one of the generator field terminals
(Gen Source +). All others, the Gen field is con-
nected directly to the ASD output voltage. The
amount of current produced by the generator is
controlled by the Electronic Voltage Regulator
(EVR) circuitry, in the PCM. A battery temperature
sensor, located either in the battery tray, using the
ambient sensor, or in the PCM itself, is used to
sense battery temperature. This temperature along
with sensed line voltage, is used by the PCM to vary
the battery charging rate. This is done by cycling
the ground path to the other generator field termi-
nal (Gen field driver).
SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM
The PCM controls vehicle speed by operation of
the speed control servo vacuum and vent solenoids.
Energizing the vacuum solenoid applies vacuum to
the servo to increase throttle position. Operation of
the vent solenoid slowly releases the vacuum allow-
ing throttle position to decrease. A special dump
solenoid allows immediate release of throttle posi-
tion caused by braking, cruise control switch turned
off, shifting into neutral, excessive RPM (tires spin-
ning) or ignition key off.
3.2.4 PCM OPERATING MODES
As input signals to the powertrain control module
(PCM) change, the PCM adjusts its response to
output devices. For example, the PCM must calcu-
late a different injector pulse width and ignition
timing for idle than it does for wide open throttle.
There are several different modes of operation that
determine how the PCM responds to the various
input signals.
There are two types of engine control operation:
open loopandclosed loop.
In open loop operation, the PCM receives input
signals and responds according to preset program-
ming. Inputs from the heated oxygen sensors are
not monitored.
In closed loop operation, the PCM monitors the
inputs from the heated oxygen sensors. This input
indicates to the PCM whether or not the calculated
injector pulse width results in the ideal air-fuel
ratio of 14.7 parts air to 1 part fuel. By monitoring
the exhaust oxygen content through the oxygen
sensor, the PCM can fine tune injector pulse width.
Fine tuning injector pulse width allows the PCM toachieve the lowest emission levels while maintain-
ing optimum fuel economy.
The engine start-up (crank), engine warm-up,
and wide open throttle modes are open loop modes.
Under most operating conditions, closed loop modes
occur with the engine at operating temperature.
IGNITION SWITCH ON (ENGINE OFF) MODE
When the ignition switch activates the fuel injec-
tion system, the following actions occur:
1. The PCM determines atmospheric air pressure
from the MAP sensor input to determine basic
fuel strategy.
2. The PCM monitors the engine coolant tempera-
ture sensor and throttle position sensor input.
The PCM modifies fuel strategy based on this
input.
When the key is in the ªonº position and the
engine is not running (zero rpm), the auto shut-
down relay and fuel pump relay are not energized.
Therefore, voltage is not supplied to the fuel pump,
ignition coil, and fuel injectors.
Engine Start-up Mode -This is an open loop
mode. The following actions occur when the starter
motor is engaged:
1. The auto shutdown and fuel pump relays are
energized. If the PCM does not receive the cam-
shaft and crankshaft signal within approxi-
mately one second, these relays are de-
energized.
2. The PCM energizes all fuel injectors until it
determines crankshaft position from the cam-
shaft and crankshaft signals. The PCM deter-
mines crankshaft position within one engine
revolution. After the crankshaft position has
been determined, the PCM energizes the fuel
injectors in sequence. The PCM adjusts the in-
jector pulse width and synchronizes the fuel
injectors by controlling the fuel injectors' ground
paths.
3. Once the engine idles within 64 rpm of its target
engine speed, the PCM compares the current
MAP sensor value with the value received dur-
ing the ignition switch on (zero rpm) mode. A
diagnostic trouble code is written to PCM mem-
ory if a minimum difference between the two
values is not found.
Once the auto shutdown and fuel pump relays
have been energized, the PCM determines the fuel
injector pulse width based on the following:
± engine coolant temperature
± manifold absolute pressure
± intake air temperature
± engine revolutions
± throttle position
