PGM-Fl System
The PGM-Fl system on this model is a sequential multiport fuel injection system.
Fuel iniecior Timing and Duration
The ECM/PCM contains memories for the basic discharge durations at various engine speeds and manifold pressure. The
basic discharge duration, after being read out from the memory, is further modified by signals sent from various sensors
to obtain the final discharge duration.
ldle Air Control
ldle Air Control Valve (lAC Valve)
When the engine is cold, the Ay'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
o The ECM/PCM contains memories for basic ionition timing at various engine speeds and manifold air flow rates.
lgnition timing is also adjusted for engine coolant temperature.
. A knock control system was adopted which sets the ideal ig nition timing for the octane rating of the gasoline used.*s
Other Control Funstions
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 (ll). the ECMiPCM suppli€s ground to the PGM-FI main relay that
supplies current to the fuel pump for two seconds to pressurize the fuel system.
. When the engine is running, the ECM/PCM supplies ground to the PGM-FI main 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.
1 1-80
www.emanualpro.com
Fuel Cut-off Control
. During deceleration with the throttle valve closed, current to the fuel injectors iscutoffto improvefuel economyat
speeds over 970 rpm ('97 - 98 models), 920 rpm ('99 - 00 modelsl.
. Fuel cut-off action also takes place when engine speed exceeds 6,500 rpm ('97 - 98 models), 6900 rpm ('99 - 00
models), regardless of the position of the throttle valve, to protect the engine from over-rewing.
With Ay'T model. the PCM cuts the fuel at engine speeds over 5,000 rpm when the vehicle is not moving.*'
4,./C Comoressor Clutch Relav
When the ECM/PCM receives a demand for cooling from the air conditioning system, it delays the compressor from
being energized, and enriches the mixture to assure a smooth transition to the Ay'C mode.
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Purge Control Solenoid Valve
When the engine coolant temperature is above 154"F (68'C), the ECM/PCM controls the EVAP purge control solenoid
valve which controls vacuum to the EVAP purge control canister,
Alternator Control
The system controls the voltage generated at the alternator in accordance with the electrical load and driving mode.
which reduces the engine load to improve the fuel economy.
PCM Fail-saf e/Back-up Functions
1. Fail-safe Function
When an abnormality occurs in a signal from a sensor, the ECM/PCM ignores that signal and assumes a pre-pre
grammed value for that sensor that allows the engine to continue to run.
2. Back-up Function
When an abnormality occurs in the ECM/PCM itself, the fuel injectors are controlled by a back-up circuit independent
of the system in order to permit minimal driving.
3. Self-diagnosis Function IMalfunction Indicator Lamp (MlL)l
When an abnormality occurs in a signal from a sensor, the ECM/PCM supplies ground for the MIL and stores the DTC
in erasable memory. When the ignition is initially turned on {ll), the ECM/PCM supplies ground for the MIL for two
seconds to check the MIL bulb condition.
4. Two Trio Detection Method
To prevent false indications, the Two Trip Detection Method is used for the HO2S*1, fuel metering-related. idle control
system, ECT sensor and EVAP control system self-diagnostic functions. When an abnormality occurs, the ECM/PCM
stores it in its memory. When the same abnormality recurs after the ignition switch is turned OFF and ON (ll) again,
the ECM/PCM informs the driver by lighting the MlL. However, to ease troubleshooting, this function is cancelled
when you jump the service check connector, The MIL will then blink immediately when an abnormality occurs.
5. Two (or Three) Driving Cycle Detection Method {'97 model)
A "Driving Cycle" consists of starting the engine, beginning closed loop operation, and stopping the engine. lf misfir-
ing that increases emissions or EVAP control system malfunction is detected during two consecutive driving cycles.
or TWC deterioration is detected during three consecutive driving cycles, the ECM/PCM turns the MIL on. However, to
ease troubleshooting, this function is cancelled when you jump the service check connector. The MIL will then blink
immediately when an abnormality occurs.
