DAEWOO M-150 BL2
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
IGNITION SYSTEM OPERATION
This ignition system does not use a conventional distrib-
utor and coil. It uses a crankshaft position sensor input
to the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM then de-
termines Electronic Spark Timing (EST) and triggers the
electronic ignition system ignition coil.
This type of distributorless ignition system uses a “waste
spark’’ method of spark distribution. Each cylinder is in-
dividural with coil per cylinder.
These systems use the EST signal from the ECM to
control the EST. The ECM uses the following informa-
tion:

Engine load (manifold pressure or vacuum).

Atmospheric (barometric) pressure.

Engine temperature.

Intake air temperature.

Crankshaft position.

Engine speed (rpm).
ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
IGNITION COIL
The Electronic Ignition (EI) system ignition coil is
mounted near on the cylinder head.
A terminals of the EI system ignition coil provides the
spark for each spark plug. The EI system ignition coil is
not serviceable and must be replaced as an assembly.
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
This Electronic Ignition (EI) system uses a magnetic
crankshaft position sensor. This sensor protrudes
through its mount to within approximately 1.3 mm (0.05
inch) of the crankshaft reluctor. The reluctor is a special
wheel attached to the crankshaft with 58 slots machined
into it, 57 of which are equally spaced in 6-degree inter-
vals. The last slot is wider and serves to generate a
“sync pulse.” As the crankshaft rotates, the slots in the
reluctor change the magnetic field of the sensor, creat-
ing an induced voltage pulse. The longer pulse of the
58th slot identifies a specific orientation of the crank-
shaft and allows the Engine Control Module (ECM) to
determine the crankshaft orientation at all times. The
ECM uses this information to generate timed ignition
and injection pulses that it sends to the ignition coils and
to the fuel injectors.
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor sends a CMP sig-
nal to the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM uses
this signal as a “sync pulse” to trigger the injectors in the
proper sequence. The ECM uses the CMP signal to indi-
cate the position of the #1 piston during its power stroke.
This allows the ECM to calculate true sequential fuel in-jection mode of operation. If the ECM detects an incor-
rect CMP signal while the engine is running, Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) P0341 will set. If the CMP signal is
lost while the engine is running, the fuel injection system
will shift to a calculated sequential fuel injection mode
based on the last fuel injection pulse, and the engine will
continue to run. As long as the fault is present, the en-
gine can be restarted. It will run in the calculated se-
quential mode with a 1-in-6 chance of the injector
sequence being correct.
IDLE AIR SYSTEM OPERATION
The idle air system operation is controlled by the base
idle setting of the throttle body and the Idle Air Control
(IAC) valve.
The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses the IAC valve to
set the idle speed dependent on conditions. The ECM
uses information from various inputs, such as coolant
temperature, manifold vacuum, etc., for the effective
control of the idle speed.
FUEL CONTROL SYSTEM
OPERATION
The function of the fuel metering system is to deliver the
correct amount of fuel to the engine under all operating
conditions. The fuel is delivered to the engine by the in-
dividual fuel injectors mounted into the intake manifold
near each cylinder.
The main fuel control sensors are the Manifold Absolute
Pressure (MAP) sensor, the oxygen sensor (O2S), and
the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S).
The MAP sensor measures or senses the intake man-
ifold vacuum. Under high fuel demands, the MAP sensor
reads a low vacuum condition, such as wide open
throttle. The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses this in-
formation to enrich the mixture, thus increasing the fuel
injector on-time, to provide the correct amount of fuel.
When decelerating, the vacuum increases. This vacuum
change is sensed by the MAP sensor and read by the
ECM, which then decreases the fuel injector on-time
due to the low fuel demand conditions.
The O2S is located in the exhaust manifold. The HO2S
is located in the exhaust pipe. The oxygen sensors indi-
cate to the ECM the amount of oxygen in the exhaust
gas, and the ECM changes the air/fuel ratio to the en-
gine by controlling the fuel injectors. The best air/fuel ra-
tio to minimize exhaust emissions is 14.7:1, which
allows the catalytic converter to operate most efficiently.
Because of the constant measuring and adjusting of the
air/fuel ratio, the fuel injection system is called a “closed
loop” system.
The ECM uses voltage inputs from several sensors to
determine how much fuel to provide to the engine. The

STRATEGY-BASED DIAGNOSTICS
Strategy-Based Diagnostics
The strategy-based diagnostic is a uniform approach to
repair all Electrical/Electronic (E/E) systems. The diag-
nostic flow can always be used to resolve an E/E system
problem and is a starting point when repairs are neces-
sary. The following steps will instruct the technician on
how to proceed with a diagnosis:
Verify the customer complaint. To verify the customer
complaint, the technician should know the normal op-
eration of the system.

Perform preliminary checks as follows:

Conduct a thorough visual inspection.

Review the service history.

Detect unusual sounds or odors.

Gather Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) information to
achieve an effective repair.

Check bulletins and other service information. This
includes videos, newsletters, etc.

Refer to service information (manual) system
check(s).

Refer to service diagnostics.
No Trouble Found
This condition exists when the vehicle is found to oper-
ate normally. The condition described by the customer
may be normal. Verify the customer complaint against
another vehicle that is operating normally. The condition
may be intermittent. Verify the complaint under the con-
ditions described by the customer before releasing the
vehicle.
Re-examine the complaints.
When the complaints cannot be successfully found or
isolated, a re-evaluation is necessary. The complaint
should be re-verified and could be intermittent as de-
fined in “intermittents,” or could be normal.
After isolating the cause, the repairs should be made.
Validate for proper operation and verify that the symp-
tom has been corrected. This may involve road testing
or other methods to verify that the complaint has re-
solved under following conditions:

Conditions noted by the customer.

If a DTC was diagnosed, verify the repair be duplicat-
ing conditions present when the DTC was set as
noted in Failure Records or Freeze Frame data.
Verifying Vehicle Repair
Verification of the vehicle repair will be more compre-
hensive for vehicles with Euro On-Board Diagnostic
(EOBD) system diagnostics. Following a repair, the
technician should perform the following steps:
Important: Follow the steps below when you verify re-
pairs on EOBD systems. Failure to follow these steps
could result in unnecessary repairs.

Review and record the Failure Records and the
Freeze Frame data for the DTC which has been diag-
nosed (Freeze Fame data will only be stored for an A,
B and E type diagnostic and only if the Malfunction
Indicator Lamp has been requested).

Clear the DTC(s).

Operate the vehicle within conditions noted in the
Failure Records and Freeze Frame data.

Monitor the DTC status information for the specific
DTC which has been diagnosed until the diagnostic
test associated with that DTC runs.
EOBD SERVICEABILITY ISSUES
Based on the knowledge gained from Euro On-Board
Diagnostic (OBD) experience in the 1994 and 1995
model years in United Status, this list of non-vehicle
faults that could affect the performance of the Euro On-
Board Diagnostic (EOBD) system has been compiled.
These non-vehicle faults vary from environmental condi-
tions to the quality of fuel used. With the introduction of
EOBD across the entire passenger car, illumination of
the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) due to a non-ve-
hicle fault could lead to misdiagnosis of the vehicle, in-
creased warranty expense and customer
dissatisfaction. The following list of non-vehicle faults
does not include every possible fault and may not apply
equally to all product lines.
Fuel Quality
Fuel quality is not a new issue for the automotive indus-
try, but its potential for turning on the MIL with EOBD
systems is new.
Fuel additives such as “dry gas” and “octane enhancers”
may affect the performance of the fuel. If this results in
an incomplete combustion or a partial burn, it will set
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0300. The Reed Vapor
Pressure of the fuel can also create problems in the fuel
system, especially during the spring and fall months
when severe ambient temperature swings occur. A high
Reed Vapor Pressure could show up as a Fuel Trim
DTC due to excessive canister loading.
Using fuel with the wrong octane rating for your vehicle
may cause driveability problems. Many of the major fuel
companies advertise that using “premium” gasoline will
improve the performance of your vehicle. Most premium

1F–10 ENGINE CONTROLS
DAEWOO M-150 BL2
fuels use alcohol to increase the octane rating of the
fuel. Although alcohol-enhanced fuels may raise the oc-
tane rating, the fuel’s ability to turn into vapor in cold
temperatures deteriorates. This may affect the starting
ability and cold driveability of the engine.
Low fuel levels can lead to fuel starvation, lean engine
operation, and eventually engine misfire.
Non-OEM Parts
The EOBD system has been calibrated to run with Origi-
nal Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts. Something
as simple as a high performance-exhaust system that
affects exhaust system back pressure could potentially
interfere with the operation of the Electric Exhaust Gas
Recirculation (EEGR) valve and thereby turn on the
MIL. Small leaks in the exhaust system near the heated
oxygen sensor (HO2S) can also cause the MIL to turn
on.
Aftermarket electronics, such as cellular phones, ster-
eos, and anti-theft devices, may radiate Electromagnet-
ic Interference (EMI) into the control system if they are
improperly installed. This may cause a false sensor
reading and turn on the MIL.
Environment
Temporary environmental conditions, such as localized
flooding, will have an effect on the vehicle ignition sys-
tem. If the ignition system is rain-soaked, it can tempo-
rarily cause engine misfire and turn on the MIL.
Vehicle Marshaling
The transportation of new vehicles from the assembly
plant to the dealership can involve as many as 60 key
cycles within 2 to 3 miles of driving. This type of opera-
tion contributes to the fuel fouling of the spark plugs and
will turn on the MIL with a set DTC P0300.
Poor Vehicle Maintenance
The sensitivity of the EOBD will cause the MIL to turn on
if the vehicle is not maintained properly. Restricted air fil-
ters, fuel filters, and crankcase deposits due to lack of oil
changes or improper oil viscosity can trigger actual ve-
hicle faults that were not previously monitored prior to
EOBD. Poor vehicle maintenance can not be classified
as a “non-vehicle fault,” but with the sensitivity of the
EOBD, vehicle maintenance schedules must be more
closely followed.
Severe Vibration
The Misfire diagnostic measures small changes in the
rotational speed of the crankshaft. Severe driveline
vibrations in the vehicle, such as caused by an exces-
sive amount of mud on the wheels, can have the same
effect on crankshaft speed as misfire and, therefore,
may set DTC P0300.
Related System Faults
Many of the EOBD system diagnostics will not run if the
Engine Control Module (ECM) detects a fault on a re-
lated system or component. One example would be thatif the ECM detected a Misfire fault, the diagnostics on
the catalytic converter would be suspended until the
Misfire fault was repaired. If the Misfire fault is severe
enough, the catalytic converter can be damaged due to
overheating and will never set a Catalyst DTC until the
Misfire fault is repaired and the Catalyst diagnostic is al-
lowed to run to completion. If this happens, the custom-
er may have to make two trips to the dealership in order
to repair the vehicle.
SERIAL DATA COMMUNICATIONS
Keyword 2000 Serial Data
Communications
Government regulations require that all vehicle
manufacturers establish a common communication sys-
tem. This vehicle utilizes the “Keyword 2000” commu-
nication system. Each bit of information can have one of
two lengths: long or short. This allows vehicle wiring to
be reduced by transmitting and receiving multiple sig-
nals over a single wire. The messages carried on Key-
word 2000 data streams are also prioritized. If two
messages attempt to establish communications on the
data line at the same time, only the message with higher
priority will continue. The device with the lower priority
message must wait. The most significant result of this
regulation is that it provides scan tool manufacturers
with the capability to access data from any make or
model vehicle that is sold.
The data displayed on the other scan tool will appear the
same, with some exceptions. Some scan tools will only
be able to display certain vehicle parameters as values
that are a coded representation of the true or actual val-
ue. On this vehicle, the scan tool displays the actual val-
ues for vehicle parameters. It will not be necessary to
perform any conversions from coded values to actual
values.
EURO ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC
(EOBD)
Euro On-Board Diagnostic Tests
A diagnostic test is a series of steps, the result of which
is a pass or fail reported to the diagnostic executive.
When a diagnostic test reports a pass result, the diag-
nostic executive records the following data:

The diagnostic test has been completed since the last
ignition cycle.

The diagnostic test has passed during the current
ignition cycle.

The fault identified by the diagnostic test is not cur-
rently active.
When a diagnostic test reports a fail result, the diagnos-
tic executive records the following data:

The diagnostic test has been completed since the last
ignition cycle.

ENGINE CONTROLS 1F–13
DAEWOO M-150 BL2
Data Link Connector (DLC)
The provision for communicating with the control mod-
ule is the Data Link Connector (DLC). The DLC is used
to connect to a scan tool. Some common uses of the
scan tool are listed below:

Identifying stored DTCs.

Clearing DTCs.

Performing output control tests.

Reading serial data.
DTC TYPES
Each Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is directly related
to a diagnostic test. The Diagnostic Management Sys-
tem sets DTCs based on the failure of the tests during a
trip or trips. Certain tests must fail two consecutive trips
before the DTC is set. The following are the three types
of DTCs and the characteristics of those codes:
Type A

Emissions related.

Requests illumination of the Malfunction Indicator.
Lamp (MIL) of the first trip with a fail.

Stores a History DTC on the first trip with a fail.

Stores a Freeze Frame (if empty).

Stores a Fail Record.

Updates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic test
fails.
Type B

Emissions related.

“Armed” after one trip with a fail.

“Disarmed” after one trip with a pass.

Requests illumination of the MIL on the second con-
secutive trip with a fail.

Stores a History DTC on the second consecutive trip
with a fail (The DTC will be armed after the first fail).

Stores a Freeze Frame on the second consecutive
trip with a fail (if empty).
Type Cnl

Non-Emissions related.

Does not request illumination of any lamp.

Stores a History DTC on the first trip with a fail .

Does not store a Freeze Frame.

Stores Fail Record when test fails.

Updates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic test
fails.
Type E

Emissions related.

“Armed” after two consecutive trip with a fail.

“Disarmed” after one trip with a pass.
Requests illumination of the MIL on the third consec-
utive trip with a fail.

Stores a History DTC on the third consecutive trip
with a fail (The DTC will be armed after the second
fail).

Stores a Freeze Frame on the third consecutive trip
with a fail (if empty).
Important: For 0.8 SOHC engine eight fail records can
be stored. Each Fail Record is for a different DTC. It is
possible that there will not be Fail Records for every
DTC if multiple DTCs are set.
Special Cases of Type B Diagnostic Tests
Unique to the misfire diagnostic, the Diagnostic Execu-
tive has the capability of alerting the vehicle operator to
potentially damaging levels of misfire. If a misfire condi-
tion exists that could potentially damage the catalytic
converter as a result of high misfire levels, the Diagnos-
tic Executive will command the MIL to “flash” as a rate of
once per seconds during those the time that the catalyst
damaging misfire condition is present.
Fuel trim and misfire are special cases of Type B diag-
nostics. Each time a fuel trim or misfire malfunction is
detected, engine load, engine speed, and Engine Cool-
ant Temperature (ECT) are recorded.
When the ignition is turned OFF, the last reported set of
conditions remain stored. During subsequent ignition
cycles, the stored conditions are used as a reference for
similar conditions. If a malfunction occurs during two
consecutive trips, the Diagnostic Executive treats the
failure as a normal Type B diagnostic, and does not use
the stored conditions. However, if a malfunction occurs
on two non-consecutive trips, the stored conditions are
compared with the current conditions. The MIL will then
illuminate under the following conditions:

When the engine load conditions are within 10% of
the previous test that failed.

Engine speed is within 375 rpm, of the previous test
that failed.

ECT is in the same range as the previous test that
failed.
READING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE
CODES
The procedure for reading Diagnostic Trouble Code(s)
(DTC) is to use a diagnostic scan tool. When reading
DTC(s), follow instructions supplied by tool manufactur-
er.
Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes
Important: Do not clear DTCs unless directed to do so
by the service information provided for each diagnostic
procedure. When DTCs are cleared, the Freeze Frame
and Failure Record data which may help diagnose an in-

ENGINE CONTROLS 1F–15
DAEWOO M-150 BL2
made to enter DTC numbers for tests which the diag-
nostic executive does not recognize, the requested in-
formation will not be displayed correctly and the scan
tool may display an error message. The same applies to
using the DTC trigger option in the Snapshot mode. If an
invalid DTC is entered, the scan tool will not trigger.
Failed Last Test
This message display indicates that the last diagnostic
test failed for the selected DTC. For type A, B and E
DTCs, this message will be displayed during subse-
quent ignition cycles until the test passes or DTCs are
cleared. For type C and type D DTCs, this message will
clear when the ignition is cycled.
Failed Since Clear
This message display indicates that the DTC has failed
at least once within the last 40 warm-up cycles since the
last time DTCs were cleared.
Failed This Ig. (Failed This Ignition)
This message display indicates that the diagnostic test
has failed at least once during the current ignition cycle.
This message will clear when DTCs are cleared or the
ignition is cycled.
History DTC
This message display indicates that the DTC has been
stored in memory as a valid fault. A DTC displayed as a
History fault may not mean that the fault is no longer
present. The history description means that all the con-
ditions necessary for reporting a fault have been met
(maybe even currently), and the information was stored
in the control module memory.
MIL Requested
This message display indicates that the DTC is currently
causing the MIL to be turned ON. Remember that only
type A B and E DTCs can request the MIL. The MIL re-
quest cannot be used to determine if the DTC fault con-
ditions are currently being experienced. This is because
the diagnostic executive will require up to three trips dur-
ing which the diagnostic test passes to turn OFF the
MIL.
Not Run Since CI (Not Run Since Cleared)
This message display indicates that the selected diag-
nostic test has not run since the last time DTCs were
cleared. Therefore, the diagnostic test status (passing
or failing) is unknown. After DTCs are cleared, this mes-
sage will continue to be displayed until the diagnostic
test runs.
Not Run This Ig. (Not Run This Ignition)
This message display indicates that the selected diag-
nostic test has not run during this ignition cycle.
Test Ran and Passed
This message display indicates that the selected diag-
nostic test has done the following:
Passed the last test.

Run and passed during this ignition cycle.

Run and passed since DTCs were last cleared.
If the indicated status of the vehicle is “Test Ran and
Passed” after a repair verification, the vehicle is ready to
be released to the customer.
If the indicated status of the vehicle is “Failed This Igni-
tion” after a repair verification, then the repair is incom-
plete and further diagnosis is required.
Prior to repairing a vehicle, status information can be
used to evaluate the state of the diagnostic test, and to
help identify an intermittent problem. The technician can
conclude that although the MIL is illuminated, the fault
condition that caused the code to set is not present. An
intermittent condition must be the cause.
PRIMARY SYSTEM-BASED
DIAGNOSTICS
There are primary system-based diagnostics which
evaluate the system operation and its effect on vehicle
emissions. The primary system-based diagnostics are
listed below with a brief description of the diagnostic
function:
Oxygen Sensor Diagnosis
The fuel control oxygen sensor (O2S) is diagnosed for
the following conditions:

Few switch count (rich to lean or lean to rich).

Slow response (average transient time lean to rich or
rich to lean).

Response time ratio (ratio of average transient time
rich(lean) to lean(rich)).

Inactive signal (output steady at bias voltage approxi-
mately 450 mV).

Signal fixed high.

Signal fixed low.
The catalyst monitor heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) is
diagnosed for the following conditions:

Heater performance (current during IGN on).

Signal fixed low during steady state conditions or
power enrichment (hard acceleration when a rich mix-
ture should be indicated).

Signal fixed high during steady state conditions or de-
celeration mode (deceleration when a lean mixture
should be indicated).

Inactive sensor (output steady at approx. 438 mV).
If the O2S pigtail wiring, connector or terminal are dam-
aged, the entire O2S assembly must be replaced. Do
not attempt to repair the wiring, connector or terminals.
In order for the sensor to function properly, it must have
clean reference air provided to it. This clean air refer-
ence is obtained by way of the O2S wire(s). Any attempt
to repair the wires, connector or terminals could result in

DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES
SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
If an intermittent problem is evident, follow the guide-
lines below.
Preliminary Checks
Before using this section you should have already per-
formed the “Euro On-Board Diagnostic (EOBD) System
Check.”
Perform a thorough visual inspection. This inspection
can often lead to correcting a problem without further
checks and can save valuable time. Inspect for the fol-
lowing conditions:

Engine Control Module (ECM) grounds for being
clean, tight, and in their proper location.

Vacuum hoses for splits, kinks, collapsing and proper
connections as shown on the Vehicle Emission Con-
trol Information label. Inspect thoroughly for any type
of leak or restriction.

Air leaks at the throttle body mounting area and the
intake manifold sealing surfaces.

Ignition wires for cracks, hardness, proper routing,
and carbon tracking.

Wiring for proper connections.

Wiring for pinches or cuts.
Diagnostic Trouble Code Tables
Do not use the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) tables to
try and correct an intermittent fault. The fault must be
present to locate the problem.
Incorrect use of the DTC tables may result in the unnec-
essary replacement of parts.
Faulty Electrical Connections or Wiring
Most intermittent problems are caused by faulty electri-
cal connections or wiring. Perform a careful inspection
of suspect circuits for the following:

Poor mating of the connector halves.

Terminals not fully seated in the connector body.

Improperly formed or damaged terminals. All connec-
tor terminals in a problem circuit should be carefullyinspected, reformed, or replaced to insure contact
tension.

Poor terminal-to-wire connection. This requires re-
moving the terminal from the connector body.
Road Test
If a visual inspection does not find the cause of the prob-
lem, the vehicle can be driven with a voltmeter or a scan
tool connected to a suspected circuit. An abnormal volt-
age or scan tool reading will indicate that the problem is
in that circuit.
If there are no wiring or connector problems found and a
DTC was stored for a circuit having a sensor, except for
DTC P0171 and DTC P0172, replace the sensor.
Intermittent Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL)
An intermittent Malfunction Indicator Lamp(MIL) with no
DTC present may be caused by the following:

Improper installation of electrical options such as
lights, two way radios, sound, or security systems.

MIL driver wire intermittently shorted to ground.
Fuel System
Some intermittent driveability problems can be attrib-
uted to poor fuel quality. If a vehicle is occasionally run-
ning rough, stalling, or otherwise performing badly, ask
the customer about the following fuel buying habits:

Do they always buy from the same source? If so, fuel
quality problems can usually be discounted.

Do they buy their fuel from whichever fuel station that
is advertising the lowest price? If so, check the fuel
tank for signs of debris, water, or other contamina-
tion.
IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE
Whenever the battery cables, the Engine Control Mod-
ule (ECM), or the fuse is disconnected or replaced, the
following idle learn procedure must be performed:
1. Turn the ignition ON for 10 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition OFF for 10 seconds.
