3. In both vehicles, apply the parking brake firmly.
Notice: Make sure the cables are not on or near pulleys,
fans, or other parts that will move when the engine
starts, damaging the parts.
4. Shift a manual transaxle to NEUTRAL.
Caution: Do not use cables that have loose or miss-
ing insulation, or injury could result.
5. Clamp one end of the first jumper cable to the positive
terminal on the battery. Make sure it does not touch
any other metal parts. Clamp the other end of the
same cable to the positive terminal on the other bat-
tery. Never connect the other end to the negative ter-
minal of the discharged battery.
Caution: Do not attach the cable directly to the neg-
ative terminal of the discharged battery. Doing so
could cause sparks and possible battery explosion.
6. Clamp one end of the second cable to the negative
terminal of the booster battery. Make the final con-
nection to a solid engine ground, such as the engine
lift bracket, at least 450 millimeters (18 inches) from
the discharged battery.
7. Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery.
Run the engine at a moderate speed for several min-
utes. Then start the engine of the vehicle which has
the discharged battery.
8. Remove the jumper cables by reversing the above
sequence exactly. Remove the negative cable from
the vehicle with the discharged battery first. While re-
moving each clamp, take care that it does not touch
any other metal while the other end remains at-
tached

GENERATOR
The Delco-Remy CS charging system has several mod-
els available, including the ∅114D (A-type) or CS114D
(B-type). The number denotes the outer diameter in
millimeters of the stator lamination.
CS generators are equipped with internal regulators.
The Y connection (A-type) or Delta (B-type) stator, a
rectifier bridge, and a rotor with slip rings and brushes
are electrically similar to earlier generators. A conven-
tional pulley and fan are used. There is no test hole.
Unlike three-wire generators, the ∅114D (A-type) or
CS114D (B-type) may be used with only two connec-
tions: battery positive and an ‘‘L’’ terminal to the charge
indicator lamp.
As with other charging systems, the charge indicator
lamp lights when the ignition switch is turned to ON, and
goes out when the engine is running. If the charge indi-
cator is on with the engine running, a charging system
defect is indicated.
The regulator voltage setting varies with temperature
and limits the system voltage by controlling the rotorfield current. The regulator switches rotor field current
on and off. By varying the on-off time, correct average
field current for proper system voltage control is ob-
tained. At high speeds, the on-time may be 10 percent
and the off-time 90 percent. At low speeds, with high
electrical loads, on-time may be 90 percent and the off-
time 10 percent.
CHARGING SYSTEM
The Delco-Remy CS charging system has several mod-
els available, including the ∅114D (A-type) or CS114D
(B-type). The number denotes the outer diameter in
millimeters of the stator laminations.
CS generators use a new type of regulator that incorpo-
rates a diode trio. The Y connection (A-type) or Delta (B-
type) stator, a rectifier bridge, and a rotor with slip rings
and brushes are electrically similar to earlier generators.
A conventional pulley and fan are used. There is no test
hole.
STARTER
Wound field starter motors have pole pieces, arranged
around the armature, which are energized by wound
field coils.
Enclosed shift lever cranking motors have the shift lever
mechanism and the solenoid plunger enclosed in the
drive housing, protecting them from exposure to dirt, icy
conditions, and splashes.
In the basic circuit, solenoid windings are energized
when the switch is closed. The resulting plunger and
shift lever movement causes the pinion to engage the
engine flywheel ring gear. The solenoid main contacts
close. Cranking then takes place.
When the engine starts, pinion overrun protects the ar-
mature from excessive speed until the switch is opened,
at which time the return spring causes the pinion to dis-
engage. To prevent excessive overrun, the switch
should be released immediately after the engine starts.
STARTING SYSTEM
The engine electrical system includes the battery, the
ignition, the starter, the generator, and all the related wir-
ing. Diagnostic tables will aid in troubleshooting system
faults. When a fault is traced to a particular component,
refer to that component section of the service manual.
The starting system circuit consists of the battery, the
starter motor, the ignition switch, and all the related elec-
trical wiring. All of these components are connected
electrically
.
DISTRIBUTOR
Distributor distributes the high tension voltage induced
from ignition coil, to each spark plug of each cylinder in

BATTERY LOAD TEST
1. Check the battery for obvious damage, such as a
cracked or broken case or cover, which could permit
the loss of electrolyte. If obvious damage is noted, re-
place the battery.
Caution: Do not charge the battery if the hydrometer
is clear or light yellow. Instead, replace the battery. If
the battery feels hot or if violent gassing or spewing
of electrolyte through the vent hole occurs, discontin-
ue charging or reduce the charging rate to avoid inju-
ry.
2. Check the hydrometer. If the green dot is visible, go to
the load test procedure. If the indicator is dark but
green is not visible, charge the battery. For charging a
battery removed from the vehicle, refer to “Charging a
Completely Discharged Battery” in this section.
3. Connect a voltmeter and a battery load tester across
the battery terminals.
4. Apply a 300-ampere load for 15 seconds to remove
any surface charge from the battery.
5. Remove the load.
6. Wait 15 seconds to let the battery recover, and apply
a 270-ampere load.
Important: The battery temperature must be estimated
by touch and by the temperature condition the battery
has been exposed to for the preceding few hours.
7. If the voltage does not drop below the minimum
listed, the battery is good and should be reinstalled. If
the voltage is less than the minimum listed, replace
the battery. Refer to “Battery Specifications” in this
section.
GENERATOR OUTPUT TEST
1. Perform the generator system test. Refer to “Gener-
ator System Check” in this section.
2. Replace the generator if it fails that test. Refer to
“Generator” in the On-Vehicle Service section. If it
passes the test, perform the on-vehicle output
check which follows.
Important: Always check the generator for output be-
fore assuming that a grounded “L” terminal circuit has
damaged the regulator.
3. Attach a digital multimeter (a), an ammeter (b), and
a carbon pile load (c) to the battery (d) and the gen-
erator (e) of the rehicle.
D102E301
Important: Be sure the vehicle battery is fully charged,
and the carbon pile load is turned off.
4. With the ignition switch in the OFF position, check
and record the battery voltage.
5. Remove the harness connector from the generator.
6. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position with the
engine not running. Use a digital multimeter to
check for voltage in the harness connector “L” termi-
nal.
7. The reading should be near the specified battery
voltage of 12 volts. If the voltage is too low, check
the indicator “L” terminal circuits for open and
grounded circuits causing voltage loss. Correct any
open wires, terminal connections, etc., as neces-
sary. Refer to “Charging System” in this section.
8. Attach the generator harness connector.
9. Run the engine at a moderate idle, and measure the
voltage across the battery terminals. The reading
should be above that recorded in Step 4 but less
than 15 volts. If the reading is over 15 volts or below
the previous reading, replace the generator. Refer to
“Generator” in the On-Vehicle Service section.
10. Run the engine at a moderate idle, and measure the
generator amperage output.
11. Turn on the carbon pile, and adjust it to obtain the
maximum amps while maintaining the battery volt-
age above 13 volts.
12. If the reading is within 15 amps of the generator’s
rating noted on the generator, the generator is good.
If not, replace the generator. Refer to “Generator”
in the On-Vehicle Service section.
13. With the generator operating at the maximum out-
put, measure the voltage between the generator
housing and the battery negative terminal. The volt-
age drop should be 0.5 volt or less. If the voltage
drop is more than 0.5 volt, check the ground path
from the generator housing to the negative battery
cable.
14. Check, clean, tighten, and recheck all of the ground
connections.

GENERATOR SYSTEM CHECK
When operating normally, the generator indicator lamp
will come on when the ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion and go out when the engine starts. If the lamp oper-
ates abnormally or if an undercharged or overcharged
battery condition occurs, the following procedure may
be used to diagnose the charging system. Remember
that an undercharged battery is often caused by acces-
sories being left on overnight or by a defective switch
that allows a lamp, such as a trunk or glove box lamp, to
stay on.
Diagnose the generator with the following procedure:
1. Visually check the belt and wiring.
2. With the ignition switch in the ON position and the en-
gine stopped, the charge indicator lamp should be on.
If not, detach the harness at the generator and
ground the ‘‘L’’ terminal in the harness with a fused,
5-ampere jumper lead.
If the lamp lights, replace the generator. Refer to
“Generator” in the On-Vehicle Service section.

If the lamp does not light, locate the open circuit
between the ignition switch and the harness con-
nector. The indicator lamp bulb may be burned out.
3. With the ignition switch in the ON position and the en-
gine running at moderate speed, the charge indicator
lamp should be off. If not, detach the wiring harness
at the generator.

If the lamp goes off, replace the generator. Refer to
“Generator” in the On-Vehicle Service section.

If the lamp stays on, check for a short to ground in
the harness between the connector and the indica-
tor lamp.
Important: Always check the generator for output be-
fore assuming that a grounded ‘‘L’’ terminal circuit has
damaged the regulator. Refer to “Generator” in the Unit
Repair section.

tions. With the ignition ON and the engine not running,
the Engine Control Module (ECM) will read the manifold
pressure as barometric pressure and adjust the air/fuel
ratio accordingly. This compensation for altitude allows
the system to maintain driving performance while hold-
ing emissions low. The barometric function will update
periodically during steady driving or under a wide open
throttle condition. In the case of a fault in the barometric
portion of the MAP sensor, the ECM will set to the de-
fault value.
A failure in the MAP sensor circuit sets a diagnostic
trouble codes P0107, P0108 or P0106.
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE
The Engine Control Module (ECM), is the control center
of the fuel injection system. It constantly looks at the in-
formation from various sensors and controls the sys-
tems that affect the vehicle’s performance. The ECM
also performs the diagnostic functions of the system. It
can recognize operational problems, alert the driver
through the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL), and store
diagnostic trouble code(s) which identify the problem
areas to aid the technician in making repairs.
There are no serviceable parts in the ECM. The calibra-
tions are stored in the ECM in the Programmable Read
Only Memory (PROM).
The ECM supplies either 5 or 12 volts to power the sen-
sors or switches. This is done through resistance in the
ECM which are so high in value that a test light will not
come on when connected to the circuit. In some cases,
even an ordinary shop voltmeter will not give an accu-
rate reading because its resistance is too low. You must
use a digital voltmeter with a 10 megohm input imped-
ance to get accurate voltage readings. The ECM con-
trols output circuits such as the fuel injectors, the Idle Air
Control (IAC) valve, the A/C clutch relay, etc., by control-
ling the ground circuit through transistors or a device
called a “quad-driver.”
FUEL INJECTOR
The Multi-port Fuel Injection (MFI) assembly is a sole-
noid-operated device controlled by the Engine Control
Module (ECM) that meters pressurized fuel to a single
engine cylinder. The ECM energizes the fuel injector or
solenoid to a normally closed ball or pintle valve. This al-
lows fuel to flow into the top of the injector, past the ball
or pintle valve, and through a recessed flow director
plate at the injector outlet.
The director plate has six machined holes that control
the fuel flow, generating a conical spray pattern of finely
atomized fuel at the injector tip. Fuel from the tip is di-
rected at the intake valve, causing it to become further
atomized and vaporized before entering the combustion
chamber. A fuel injector which is stuck partially open
would cause a loss of fuel pressure after the engine is
shut down. Also, an extended crank time would be no-
ticed on some engines. Dieseling could also occur be-cause some fuel could be delivered to the engine after
the ignition is turned off.
FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH
The fuel cutoff switch is a safety device. In the event of a
collision or a sudden impact, it automatically cuts off the
fuel supply and activates the door lock relay. After the
switch has been activated, it must be reset in order to
restart the engine. Reset the fuel cutoff switch by press-
ing the rubber top of the switch. The switch is located
near the right side of the passenger’s seat.
KNOCK SENSOR
The knock sensor detects abnormal knocking in the en-
gine. The sensor is mounted in the engine block near the
cylinders. The sensor produces an AC output voltage
which increases with the severity of the knock. This sig-
nal is sent to the Engine Control Module (ECM). The
ECM then adjusts the ignition timing to reduce the spark
knock.
VARIABLE RELUCTANCE (VR)
SENSOR
The variable reluctance sensor is commonly refered to
as an “inductive” sensor.
The VR wheel speed sensor consists of a sensing unit
fixed to the left side front macpherson strut, for non-ABS
vehicle.
The ECM uses the rough road information to enable or
disable the misfire diagnostic. The misfire diagnostic
can be greatly affected by crankshaft speed variations
caused by driving on rough road surfaces. The VR sen-
sor generates rough road information by producing a
signal which is proportional to the movement of a small
metal bar inside the sensor.
If a fault occurs which causes the ECM to not receive
rough road information between 30 and 70 km/h (1.8
and 43.5 mph), Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1391
will set.
OCTANE NUMBER CONNECTOR
The octane number connector is a jumper harness that
signal to the engine control module (ECM) the octane
rating of the fuel.
The connector is located on the next to the ECM. There
are two different octane number connector settings
available. The vehicle is shipped from the factory with a
label attached to the jumper harness to indicate the oc-
tane rating setting of the ECM. The ECM will alter fuel
delivery and spark timing based on the octane number
setting. The following table shows which terminal to
jump on the octane number connector in order to
achieve the correct fuel octane rating. Terminal 2 is
ground on the octane number connector. The find 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

The enable criteria for each diagnostic is listed on the
first page of the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) descrip-
tion under the heading “Conditions for Setting the DTC.”
Enable criteria varies with each diagnostic and typically
includes, but is not limited to the following items:

Engine speed.

Vehicle speed

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)

Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)

Barometric Pressure (BARO)

Intake Air Temperature (IAT)

Throttle Position (TP)

High canister purge

Trip
Technically, a trip is a key-on run key-off cycle in which
all the enable criteria for a given diagnostic are met, al-
lowing the diagnostic to run. Unfortunately, this concept
is not quite that simple. A trip is official when all the en-
able criteria for a given diagnostic are met. But because
the enable criteria vary from one diagnostic to another,
the definition of trip varies as well. Some diagnostics are
run when the vehicle is at operating temperature, some
when the vehicle first starts up; some require that the
vehicle cruise at a steady highway speed, some run only
when the vehicle is at idle. Some run only immediately
following a cold engine start-up.
A trip then, is defined as a key-on run-key off cycle in
which the vehicle is operated in such a way as to satisfy
the enable criteria for a given diagnostic, and this diag-
nostic will consider this cycle to be one trip. However,
another diagnostic with a different set of enable criteria
(which were not met) during this driving event, would not
consider it a trip. No trip will occur for that particular
diagnostic until the vehicle is driven in such a way as to
meet all the enable criteria.
Diagnostic Information
The diagnostic charts and functional checks are de-
signed to locate a faulty circuit or component through a
process of logical decisions. The charts are prepared
with the requirement that the vehicle functioned correct-
ly at the time of assembly and that there are not multiple
faults present.
There is a continuous self-diagnosis on certain control
functions. This diagnostic capability is complimented by
the diagnostic procedures contained in this manual. The
language of communicating the source of the malfunc-
tion is a system of diagnostic trouble codes. When a
malfunction is detected by the control module, a DTC is
set, and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is illumi-
nated.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is required by
Euro On-Board Diagnostics (EOBD) to illuminate under
a strict set of guidelines.
Basically, the MIL is turned on when the Engine Control
Module (ECM) detects a DTC that will impact the vehicle
emissions.
The MIL is under the control of the Diagnostic Execu-
tive. The MIL will be turned on if an emissions-related
diagnostic test indicates a malfunction has occurred. It
will stay on until the system or component passes the
same test for three consecutive trips with no emissions
related faults.
Extinguishing the MIL
When the MIL is on, the Diagnostic Executive will turn
off the MIL after three consecutive trips that a “test
passed” has been reported for the diagnostic test that
originally caused the MIL to illuminate. Although the MIL
has been turned off, the DTC will remain in the ECM
memory (both Freeze Frame and Failure Records) until
forty (40) warm-up cycles after no faults have been com-
pleted.
If the MIL was set by either a fuel trim or misfire-related
DTC, additional requirements must be met. In addition
to the requirements stated in the previous paragraph,
these requirements are as follows:

The diagnostic tests that are passed must occur with
375 rpm of the rpm data stored at the time the last
test failed.

Plus or minus ten percent of the engine load that was
stored at the time the last test failed. Similar engine
temperature conditions (warmed up or warming up)
as those stored at the time the last test failed.
Meeting these requirements ensures that the fault which
turned on the MIL has been corrected.
The MIL is on the instrument panel and has the following
functions:

It informs the driver that a fault affecting the vehicle’s
emission levels has occurred and that the vehicle
should be taken for service as soon as possible.

As a system check, the MIL will come on with the key
ON and the engine not running. When the engine is
started, the MIL will turn OFF.

When the MIL remains ON while the engine is run-
ning, or when a malfunction is suspected due to a
driveability or emissions problem, an EOBD System
Check must be performed. The procedures for these
checks are given in EOBD System Check. These
checks will expose faults which may not be detected
if other diagnostics are performed first.
