DESCRIPTION - SECTION IDENTIFICATION AND
INFORMATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual
sections. If a component is most likely found in a par-
ticular group, it will be shown complete (all wires,
connectors, and pins) within that group. For exam-
ple, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be
found in Group 30, so it is shown there complete. It
can, however, be shown partially in another group if
it contains some associated wiring.
Splice diagrams in Section 8W-70 show the entire
splice and provide references to other sections the
splices serves. Section 8W-70 only contains splice dia-
grams that are not shown in their entirety some-
where else in the wiring diagrams.
Section 8W-80 shows each connector and the cir-
cuits involved with that connector. The connectors
are identified using the name/number on the dia-
gram pages.

FUEL INJECTION
OPERATION
OPERATION - INJECTION SYSTEM
All engines used in this section have a sequential
Multi-Port Electronic Fuel Injection system. The MPI
system is computer regulated and provides precise
air/fuel ratios for all driving conditions. The Power-
train Control Module (PCM) operates the fuel injec-
tion system.
The PCM regulates:
²Ignition timing
²Air/fuel ratio
²Emission control devices
²Cooling fan
²Charging system
²Idle speed
²Vehicle speed control
Various sensors provide the inputs necessary for
the PCM to correctly operate these systems. In addi-
tion to the sensors, various switches also provide
inputs to the PCM.
The PCM can adapt its programming to meet
changing operating conditions.
Fuel is injected into the intake port above the
intake valve in precise metered amounts through
electrically operated injectors. The PCM fires the
injectors in a specific sequence. Under most operat-
ing conditions, the PCM maintains an air fuel ratio
of 14.7 parts air to 1 part fuel by constantly adjust-
ing injector pulse width. Injector pulse width is the
length of time the injector is open.
The PCM adjusts injector pulse width by opening
and closing the ground path to the injector. Engine
RPM (speed) and manifold absolute pressure (air
density) are theprimaryinputs that determine
injector pulse width.
OPERATION - MODES OF OPERATION
As input signals to the PCM change, the PCM
adjusts its response to output devices. For example,
the PCM must calculate a different injector pulse
width and ignition timing for idle than it does for
Wide Open Throttle (WOT). There are several differ-
ent modes of operation that determine how the PCM
responds to the various input signals.
There are two different areas of operation, OPEN
LOOP and CLOSED LOOP.
During OPEN LOOP modes the PCM receives
input signals and responds according to preset PCM
programming. Inputs from the upstream and down-
stream heated oxygen sensors are not monitored dur-
ing OPEN LOOP modes, except for heated oxygensensor diagnostics (they are checked for shorted con-
ditions at all times).
During CLOSED LOOP modes the PCM monitors
the inputs from the upstream and downstream
heated oxygen sensors. The upstream heated oxygen
sensor input tells the PCM if the calculated injector
pulse width resulted in the ideal air-fuel ratio of 14.7
to one. By monitoring the exhaust oxygen content
through the upstream heated oxygen sensor, the
PCM can fine tune injector pulse width. Fine tuning
injector pulse width allows the PCM to achieve opti-
mum fuel economy combined with low emissions.
For the PCM to enter CLOSED LOOP operation,
the following must occur:
(1) Engine coolant temperature must be over 35ÉF.
²If the coolant is over 35ÉF the PCM will wait 38
seconds.
²If the coolant is over 50ÉF the PCM will wait 15
seconds.
²If the coolant is over 167ÉF the PCM will wait 3
seconds.
(2) For other temperatures the PCM will interpo-
late the correct waiting time.
(3) O2 sensor must read either greater than 0.745
volts or less than 0.29 volt.
(4) The multi-port fuel injection systems has the
following modes of operation:
²Ignition switch ON (Zero RPM)
²Engine start-up
²Engine warm-up
²Cruise
²Idle
²Acceleration
²Deceleration
²Wide Open Throttle
²Ignition switch OFF
(5) The engine start-up (crank), engine warm-up,
deceleration with fuel shutoff and wide open throttle
modes are OPEN LOOP modes. Under most operat-
ing conditions, the acceleration, deceleration (with
A/C on), idle and cruise modes,with the engine at
operating temperatureare CLOSED LOOP modes.
IGNITION SWITCH ON (ZERO RPM) MODE
When the ignition switch activates the fuel injec-
tion system, the following actions occur:
²The PCM monitors the engine coolant tempera-
ture sensor and throttle position sensor input. The
PCM determines basic fuel injector pulse width from
this input.
²The PCM determines atmospheric air pressure
from the MAP sensor input to modify injector pulse
width.
When the key is in the ON position and the engine
is not running (zero rpm), the Auto Shutdown (ASD)
and fuel pump relays de-energize after approximately
14 - 18 FUEL INJECTIONRS

for the PCM to use as an intake air temperature sen-
sor and a battery temperature sensor.
The battery temperature information along with
data from monitored line voltage (B+), is used by the
PCM to vary the battery charging rate. System volt-
age will be higher at colder temperatures and is
gradually reduced at warmer temperatures.
The battery temperature information is also used
for OBD II diagnostics. Certain faults and OBD II
monitors are either enabled or disabled depending
upon the battery temperature sensor input (example:
disable purge, enable LDP). Most OBD II monitors
are disabled below 20ÉF.
MAP SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The MAP sensor (Fig. 20) or (Fig. 21) mounts to
the intake manifold. The sensor is connects electri-
cally to the PCM.
OPERATION
The MAP serves as a PCM input, using a silicon
based sensing unit, to provide data on the manifold
vacuum that draws the air/fuel mixture into the com-
bustion chamber. The PCM requires this information
to determine injector pulse width and spark advance.
When MAP equals Barometric pressure, the pulse
width will be at maximum.
Also like the cam and crank sensors, a 5 volt ref-
erence is supplied from the PCM and returns a volt-
age signal to the PCM that reflects manifold
pressure. The zero pressure reading is 0.5V and full
scale is 4.5V. For a pressure swing of0Ð15psithe
voltage changes 4.0V. The sensor is supplied a regu-lated 4.8 to 5.1 volts to operate the sensor. Like the
cam and crank sensors ground is provided through
the sensor return circuit.
The MAP sensor input is the number one contrib-
utor to pulse width. The most important function of
the MAP sensor is to determine barometric pressure.
The PCM needs to know if the vehicle is at sea level
or is it in Denver at 5000 feet above sea level,
because the air density changes with altitude. It will
also help to correct for varying weather conditions. If
a hurricane was coming through the pressure would
be very, very low or there could be a real fair
weather, high pressure area. This is important
because as air pressure changes the barometric pres-
sure changes. Barometric pressure and altitude have
a direct inverse correlation, as altitude goes up baro-

CAUTION: Do not use R-12 equipment or parts on
the R-134a system. Damage to the system will
result. All parts, tools, and equipment must be
designed for R-134a refrigerant.
CAUTION: Do not discharge refrigerant into the
atmosphere. Use an R-134a refrigerant recovery/re-
cycling device that meets SAE Standard J2210.
CAUTION: The refrigerant must be recovered com-
pletely from the system before opening any fitting
or connection. Open the fittings with caution, even
after the system has been discharged. If any pres-
sure is noticed as a fitting is loosened, tighten the
fitting and recover the refrigerant from the system
again.
CAUTION: The refrigerant system must always be
evacuated before charging.
CAUTION: Do not overcharge the refrigerant sys-
tem. This will cause excessive compressor head
pressure and can cause noise and system failure.
CAUTION: Do not open the refrigerant system or
remove the sealing caps from a replacement com-
ponent until it is to be installed. This will prevent
contamination in the system.
CAUTION: Before disconnecting a component,
clean the outside of the fittings thoroughly to pre-
vent contamination from entering the refrigerant
system.
CAUTION: When it is necessary to open the refrig-
erant system, have everything needed to service
the system ready. Immediately after disconnecting a
component from the refrigerant system, seal the
open fittings with a cap or plug to prevent the
entrance of dirt and moisture. The refrigerant sys-
tem should not be left open to the atmosphere any
longer than necessary.
CAUTION: Before connecting an open refrigerant
fitting, always install a new seal and or gasket. All
fittings with O-rings need to be coated with refrig-
erant oil before installation. Use only O-rings that
are the correct size and approved for use with
R-134a refrigerant. Failure to do so may result in a
leak. Coat the fitting and seal with clean refrigerant
oil before connecting. Unified plumbing connec-tions with gaskets cannot be serviced with O-rings.
The gaskets are not reusable and new gaskets do
not require lubrication before installing.
CAUTION: When installing a refrigerant line, avoid
sharp bends that may restrict refrigerant flow. A
good rule for the flexible hose refrigerant lines is to
keep the radius of all bends at least ten times the
diameter of the hose. Sharp bends will reduce the
flow of refrigerant.
CAUTION: Position the refrigerant lines away from
exhaust system components or any sharp edges,
which may damage the line. The flexible hose lines
should be routed so they are at least 80 millimeters
(3 inches) from the exhaust manifold. Inspect all
flexible refrigerant system hose lines at least once
a year to make sure they are in good condition and
properly routed.
CAUTION: High pressures are produced in the
refrigerant system when it is operating. Extreme
care must be exercised to make sure that all refrig-
erant system connections are pressure tight.
CAUTION: Tighten refrigerant fittings only to the
specified torque. The aluminum fittings used in the
refrigerant system will not tolerate overtightening.
CAUTION: When disconnecting a refrigerant fitting,
use a wrench on both halves of the fitting. This will
prevent twisting of the refrigerant lines or tubes.
CAUTION: Refrigerant oil will absorb moisture from
the atmosphere if left uncapped. Do not open a
container of refrigerant oil until you are ready to
use it. Replace the cap on the oil container immedi-
ately after using. Store refrigerant oil only in a
clean, airtight, and moisture-free container.
CAUTION: All tools, including the refrigerant recy-
cling equipment, the manifold gauge set, and test
hoses should be kept clean and dry. Keep the work
area clean. Contamination of the refrigerant system
through careless work habits must be avoided. The
refrigerant system will remain chemically stable as
long as pure, moisture-free R-134a refrigerant and
refrigerant oil is used. Dirt, moisture, or air can
upset this chemical stability. Operational troubles
or serious damage can occur if foreign material is
introduced to the refrigerant system.

NOTE: Liquid CO2is required to test the expansion
valve. This material is available from most welding
supply facilities. Liquid CO
2is also available from
companies which service and sell fire extinguish-
ers.
When testing the expansion valve, the work area
and the vehicle temperature must be 21É to 27É C
(70É to 85É F). To test the expansion valve:
(1) Connect a charging station or manifold gauge
set to the refrigerant system service ports. Verify the
refrigerant charge level.
(2) Close all doors, windows and vents to the pas-
senger compartment.
(3) Set the heater-air conditioner controls so that
the compressor is operating, the temperature control
is in the highest temperature position, the mode door
is directing the output to the floor outlets, and the
blower is operating at the highest speed setting.
(4) Start the engine and allow it to idle at 1000
rpm. After the engine has reached normal operating
temperature, allow the passenger compartment to
heat up. This will create the need for maximum
refrigerant flow into the evaporator.
(5) If the refrigerant charge is sufficient, the dis-
charge (high pressure) gauge should read 965 to 1655
kPa (140 to 240 psi). The suction (low pressure)
gauge should read 140 kPa to 207 kPa (20 psi to 30
psi). If OK, go to Step 6. If not OK, replace the faulty
expansion valve.
WARNING:
PROTECT THE SKIN AND EYES FROM EXPOSURE
TO LIQUID CO
2. PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
(6) If the suction (low pressure) gauge reads
within the specified range, freeze the expansion valve
control head for 30 seconds using liquid CO
2or
another suitable super-cold material.Do not spray
R-134a or R-12 refrigerant on the expansion
valve control head for this test.The suction (low
pressure) gauge reading should drop by 10 psi. If OK,
go to Step 7 If not OK, replace the faulty expansion
valve.
(7) Allow the expansion valve control head to thaw.
The suction (low pressure) gauge reading should sta-
bilize at 140 kPa to 240 kPa (20 psi to 30 psi). If not
OK, replace the faulty expansion valve.
(8) When expansion valve testing is complete, test
the overall air conditioner performance. (Refer to 24 -
HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING - A/C PERFORMANCE TEST).
Remove all test equipment before returning the vehi-
cle to service.
