KNOCK SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The knock sensor threads into the cylinder block.
OPERATION
When the knock sensor detects a knock in one of
the cylinders, it sends an input signal to the PCM. In
response, the PCM retards ignition timing for all cyl-
inders by a scheduled amount.Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric material
which constantly vibrates and sends an input voltage
(signal) to the PCM while the engine operates. As the
intensity of the crystal's vibration increases, the
knock sensor output voltage also increases.
NOTE: Over or under tightening affects knock sen-
sor performance, possibly causing improper spark
control.
IGNITION SWITCH
In the RUN position, the ignition switch connects
power from the Power Distribution Center (PDC) to a
fuse in the fuse block, back to a bus bar in the PDC.
The bus bar feeds circuits for the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM), Proportional purge solenoid, EGR
solenoid, and ABS system. The bus bar in the PDC
feeds the coil side of the radiator fan relay, A/C com-
pressor clutch relay, and the fuel pump relay. It also
feeds the Airbag Control Module (ACM)
LOCK KEY CYLINDER
DESCRIPTION
The lock cylinder is inserted in the end of the
housing opposite the ignition switch.
OPERATION
The ignition key rotates the cylinder to 5 different
detents (Fig. 9) :

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM
OPERATION
The speed control system is electronically con-
trolled and vacuum operated. The electronic control
is integrated into the Powertrain Control Module
which is located in the engine compartment. The con-
trols are located on the steering wheel and consist of
five switches. The ON, OFF and SET buttons are
located on the left side of the airbag module. The
RESUME, ACCEL, COAST and CANCEL buttons
are located on the right side of the airbag module
(Fig. 1).
The system is designed to operate at speeds above
25 mph (40 km/h).
WARNING: THE USE OF SPEED CONTROL IS NOT
RECOMMENDED WHEN DRIVING CONDITIONS DO
NOT PERMIT MAINTAINING A CONSTANT SPEED,
SUCH AS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON ROADS THAT
ARE WINDING, ICY, SNOW COVERED, OR SLIP-
PERY.
The speed control can be disengaged manually by:
²Stepping on the brake pedal
²Depressing the OFF switch
²Depressing the CANCEL switch.
The speed control can be disengaged also by any of
the following conditions:
²An indication of Park or Neutral
²The VSS signal increases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the co-efficient of friction
between the road surface and tires is extremely low)
²Depressing the clutch pedal.
²Excessive engine rpm (indicates that the trans-
mission may be in a low gear)²The VSS signal decreases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the vehicle may have
decelerated at an extremely high rate)
²If the actual speed is not within 20 mph of the
set speed
The previous disengagement conditions are pro-
grammed for added safety.
