EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION
VA LV E
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system is used on
engines equipped with an automatic transaxle to lower
NOx (oxides of nitrogen) emission levels caused by high
combustion temperature. The EGR valve is controlled by
the engine control module (ECM). The EGR valve feeds
small amounts of exhaust gas into the intake manifold to
decrease combustion temperature. The amount of ex-
haust gas recirculated is controlled by variations in vacu-
um and exhaust back pressure. If too much exhaust gas
enters, combustion will not take place. For this reason,
very little exhaust gas is allowed to pass through the valve,
especially at idle.
The EGR valve is usually open under the following condi-
tions:
S Warm engine operation.
S Above idle speed.
Results of Incorrect Operation
Too much EGR flow tends to weaken combustion, causing
the engine to run roughly or to stop. With too much EGR
flow at idle, cruise, or cold operation, any of the following
conditions may occur:
S The engine stops after a cold start.
S The engine stops at idle after deceleration.
S The vehicle surges during cruise.
S Rough idle.
If the EGR valve stays open all the time, the engine may
not idle. Too little or no EGR flow allows combustion tem-
peratures to get too high during acceleration and load con-
ditions. This could cause the following conditions:
S Spark knock (detonation)
S Engine overheating
S Emission test failure
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is a thermistor,
a resistor which changes value based on the temperature
of the air entering the engine. Low temperature produces
a high resistance (4,500 ohms at –40°F [–40°C]), while
high temperature causes a low resistance (70 ohms at
266°F [130°C]).
The engine control module (ECM) provides 5 volts to the
IAT sensor through a resistor in the ECM and measures
the change in voltage to determine the IAT. The voltage will
be high when the manifold air is cold and low when the air
is hot. The ECM knows the intake IAT by measuring the
voltage.
The IAT sensor is also used to control spark timing when
the manifold air is cold.
A failure in the IAT sensor circuit sets a diagnostic trouble
code P0112 or P0113.
IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE
Notice : Do not attempt to remove the protective cap to
readjust the stop screw. Misadjustment may result in dam-
age to the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve or to the throttle
body.
The IAC valve is mounted on the throttle body where it
controls the engine idle speed under the command of the
engine control module (ECM). The ECM sends voltage
pulses to the IAC valve motor windings, causing the IAC
valve pintle to move in or out a given distance (a step or
count) for each pulse. The pintle movement controls the
airflow around the throttle valves which, in turn, control the
engine idle speed.
The desired idle speeds for all engine operating conditions
are programmed into the calibration of the ECM. These
programmed engine speeds are based on the coolant
temperature, the park/neutral position switch status, the
vehicle speed, the battery voltage, and the A/C system
pressure (if equipped).
The ECM ”learns” the proper IAC valve positions to
achieve warm, stabilized idle speeds (rpm) desired for the
various conditions (park/neutral or drive, A/C on or off, if
equipped). This information is stored in ECM ”keep alive”
memories. Information is retained after the ignition is
turned OFF. All other IAC valve positioning is calculated
based on these memory values. As a result, engine varia-
tions due to wear and variations in the minimum throttle
valve position (within limits) do not affect engine idle
speeds. This system provides correct idle control under all
conditions. This also means that disconnecting power to
the ECM can result in incorrect idle control or the necessity
to partially press the accelerator when starting until the
ECM relearns idle control.
Engine idle speed is a function of total airflow into the en-
gine based on the IAC valve pintle position, the throttle
valve opening, and the calibrated vacuum loss through ac-
cessories. The minimum throttle valve position is set at the
factory with a stop screw. This setting allows enough air-
flow by the throttle valve to cause the IAC valve pintle to
be positioned a calibrated number of steps (counts) from
the seat during ”controlled” idle operation. The minimum
throttle valve position setting on this engine should not be
considered the ”minimum idle speed,” as on other fuel in-
jected engines. The throttle stop screw is covered with a
plug at the factory following adjustment.
If the IAC valve is suspected as the cause of improper idle
speed, refer to ”Idle Air Control System Check” in this sec-
tion.
MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE
SENSOR
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures
the changes in the intake manifold pressure which result
from engine load and speed changes. It converts these to
a voltage output.

ENGINE CONTROLS 1F – 627
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
A closed throttle on engine coast down produces a rela-
tively low MAP output. MAP is the opposite of vacuum.
When manifold pressure is high, vacuum is low. The MAP
sensor is also used to measure barometric pressure. This
is performed as part of MAP sensor calculations. With the
ignition ON and the engine not running, the engine control
module (ECM) will read the manifold pressure as baromet-
ric pressure and adjust the air/fuel ratio accordingly. This
compensation for altitude allows the system to maintaindriving performance while holding 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 default value.
A failure in the MAP sensor circuit sets a diagnostic trouble
code P0107 or P0108.
The following tables show the difference between absolute pressure and vacuum related to MAP sensor output, which
appears as the top row of both tables.

ENGINE CONTROL MODULE
The engine control module (ECM), located inside the pas-
senger kick–panel, is the control center of the fuel injection
system. It constantly looks at the information from various
sensors and controls the systems that affect the vehicle’s
performance. The ECM also performs the diagnostic func-
tions 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
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 sensors
or switches. This is done through resistances 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 or-
dinary shop voltmeter will not give an accurate reading be-
cause its resistance is too low. You must use a digital volt-
meter with a 10 megohm input impedance to get accurate
voltage readings. The ECM controls output circuits such
as the fuel injectors, the idle air control valve, the A/C
clutch relay, etc., by controlling the ground circuit through
transistors or a device called a ”quad–driver.”
FUEL INJECTOR
The Multiport Fuel Injection (MFI) assembly is a solenoid–
operated device controlled by the engine control module
(ECM). It meters pressurized fuel to a single engine cylin-
der. The ECM energizes the fuel injector or the solenoid
to a normally closed ball or pintle valve. This allows fuel toflow 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 atom-
ized fuel at the injector tip. Fuel from the tip is directed 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 will cause a loss
of fuel pressure after the engine is shut down. Also, an ex-
tended crank time will be noticed on some engines. Diesel-
ing can also occur because some fuel can be delivered to
the engine after the ignition is turned OFF.
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 signal
is sent to the engine control module (ECM). The ECM then
adjusts the ignition timing to reduce the spark knock.
ROUGH ROAD SENSOR
The engine control module (ECM) receives rough road in-
formation from the VR sensor. The ECM uses the rough
road information to enable or disable the misfire diagnos-
tic. The misfire diagnostic can be greatly affected by
crankshaft speed variations caused by driving on rough
road surfaces. The VR sensor generates rough road infor-
mation 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 80 mph (50 and
132 km/h), DTC P1391 will set.

ENGINE CONTROLS 1F – 629

tentially interfere with the operation of the Exhaust Gas
Recirculation (EGR) valve and thereby turn on the MIL.
Small leaks in the exhaust system near the post catalyst
oxygen sensor can also cause the MIL to turn on.
Aftermarket electronics, such as cellular phones, stereos,
and anti–theft devices, may radiate electromagnetic inter-
ference (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 system.
If the ignition system is rain–soaked, it can temporarily
cause engine misfire and turn on the MIL.
Refueling
A new EOBD diagnostic checks the integrity of the entire
Evaporative (EVAP) Emission system. If the vehicle is re-
started after refueling and the fuel cap is not secured cor-
rectly, the on–board diagnostic system will sense this as
a system fault, turn on the MIL, and set DTC P0440.
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 operation
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 EOBD diagnostics will cause the MIL to
turn on if the vehicle is not maintained properly. Restricted
air filters, fuel filters, and crankcase deposits due to lack
of oil changes or improper oil viscosity can trigger actual
vehicle 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 EOBD
diagnostics, 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 vibra-
tions in the vehicle, such as caused by an excessive
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 controlmodule (ECM) detects a fault on a related
system or component. One example would be that if the
ECM detected a Misfire fault, the diagnostics on the cata-
lytic converter would be suspended until the Misfire fault
was repaired. If the Misfire fault is severe enough, the cat-
alytic converter can be damaged due to overheating andwill never set a Catalyst DTC until the Misfire fault is re-
paired and the Catalyst diagnostic is allowed to run to
completion. If this happens, the customer may have to
make two trips to the dealership in order to repair the ve-
hicle.
SERIAL DATA COMMUNICATIONS
Class II Serial Data Communications
Government regulations require that all vehicle manufac-
turers establish a common communication system. This
vehicle utilizes the ”Class II” communication system. Each
bit of information can have one of two lengths: long or
short. This allows vehicle wiring to be reduced by transmit-
ting and receiving multiple signals over a single wire. The
messages carried on Class II data streams are also priori-
tized. If two messages attempt to establish communica-
tions 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. Themost 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 value. On
this vehicle the scan tool displays the actual values for ve-
hicle parameters. It will not be necessary to perform any
conversions from coded values to actual values.
ON–BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (EOBD)
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 diagnostic
executive records the following data:
S The diagnostic test has been completed since the
last ignition cycle.
S The diagnostic test has passed during the current
ignition cycle.
S The fault identified by the diagnostic test is not cur-
rently active.
When a diagnostic test reports a fail result, the diagnostic
executive records the following data:
S The diagnostic test has been completed since the
last ignition cycle.
S The fault identified by the diagnostic test is current-
ly active.
S The fault has been active during this ignition cycle.
S The operating conditions at the time of the failure.
Remember, a fuel trim Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
may be triggered by a list of vehicle faults. Make use of all
information available (other DTCs stored, rich or lean con-
dition, etc.) when diagnosing a fuel trim fault.

COMPREHENSIVE COMPONENT
MONITOR DIAGNOSTIC OPERATION
Comprehensive component monitoring diagnostics are
required to monitor emissions–related input and output
powertrain components.
Input Components
Input components are monitored for circuit continuity and
out–of–range values. This includes rationality checking.
Rationality checking refers to indicating a fault when the
signal from a sensor does not seem reasonable, i.e.
Throttle Position (TP) sensor that indicates high throttle
position at low engine loads or Manifold Absolute Pressure
(MAP) voltage. Input components may include, but are not
limited to, the following sensors:
S Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS).
S Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor.
S Throttle Position (TP) sensor.
S Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor.
S Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor.
S Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor.
In addition to the circuit continuity and rationality check,
the ECT sensor is monitored for its ability to achieve a
steady state temperature to enable closed loop fuel con-
trol.
Output Components
Output components are diagnosed for proper response to
control module commands. Components where functional
monitoring is not feasible will be monitored for circuit conti-
nuity and out–of–range values if applicable. Output com-
ponents to be monitored include, but are not limited to the
following circuit:
S Idle Air Control (IAC) Motor.
S Control module controlled EVAP Canister Purge
Valve.
S A/C relays.
S Cooling fan relay.
S VSS output.
S MIL control.
Refer to ”Engine Control Module” and Sensors in this sec-
tion.
Passive and Active Diagnostic Tests
A passive test is a diagnostic test which simply monitors
a vehicle system or component. Conversely, an active
test, actually takes some sort of action when performing
diagnostic functions, often in response to a failed passive
test. For example, the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
diagnostic active test will force the EGR valve open during
closed throttle deceleration and/or force the EGR valve
closed during a steady state. Either action should result in
a change in manifold pressure.
Intrusive Diagnostic Tests
This is any on–board test run by the Diagnostic Manage-
ment System which may have an effect on vehicle perfor-
mance or emission levels.
Warm–Up Cycle
A warm–up cycle means that engine temperature must
reach aminimum of 160°F (70°C) and rise at least 72°F
(22°C) over the course of a trip.
Freeze Frame
Freeze Frame is an element of the Diagnostic Manage-
ment System which stores various vehicle information at
the moment an emissions–related fault is stored in
memory and when the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
is commanded on. These data can help to identify the
cause of a fault.
Failure Records
Failure Records data is an enhancement of the EOBD
Freeze Frame feature. Failure Records store the same ve-
hicle information as does Freeze Frame, but it will store
that information for any fault which is stored in onboard
memory, while Freeze Frame stores information only for
emission–related faults that command the MIL on.
COMMON EOBD TERMS
Diagnostic
When used as a noun, the word diagnostic refers to any
on–board test run by the vehicle’s Diagnostic Manage-
ment System. A diagnostic is simply a test run on a system
or component to determine if the system or component is
operating according to specification. There are many diag-
nostics, shown in the following list:
S Misfire
S Front Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S1)
S Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S2)
S Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
S Catalyst monitoring
Enable Criteria
The term ”enable criteria” is engineering language for the
conditions necessary for a given diagnostic test to run.
Each diagnostic has a specific list of conditions which
must be met before the diagnostic will run.
”Enable criteria” is another way of saying ”conditions re-
quired.”
The enable criteria for each diagnostic is listed on the first
page of the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) description
under the heading ”Conditions for Setting the DTC.” En-
able criteria varies with each diagnostic and typically in-
cludes, but is not limited to, the following items:
S Engine speed.
S Vehicle speed
S Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
S Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)

1F – 634IENGINE CONTROLS
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
A rough road sensor, or G sensor, works together with the
misfire detection system. The G sensor produces a volt-
age that varies along with the intensity of road vibrations.
When the ECM detects a rough road, the misfire detection
system is temporarily disabled.
Misfire Counters
Whenever a cylinder misfires, the misfire diagnostic
counts the misfire and notes the crankshaft position at the
time the misfire occurred. These ”misfire counters” are ba-
sically a file on each engine cylinder. A current and a histo-
ry misfire counter are maintained for each cylinder. The
misfire current counters (Misfire Cur #1–4) indicate the
number of firing events out of the last 200 cylinder firing
events which were misfires. The misfire current counter
will display real time data without a misfire Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) stored. The misfire history counters
(Misfire Hist #1–4) indicate the total number of cylinder fir-
ing events which were misfires. The misfire history count-
ers will display 0 until the misfire iagnostic has failed and
a DTC P0300 is set. Once the misfire DTC P0300 is set,
the misfire history counters will be updated every 200 cyl-
inder firing events. A misfire counter is maintained for each
cylinder.
If the misfire diagnostic reports a failure, the diagnostic
executive reviews all of the misfire counters before report-
ing a DTC. This way, the diagnostic executive reports the
most current information.
When crankshaft rotation is erratic, a misfire condition will
be detected. Because of this erratic condition, the data
that is collected by the diagnostic can sometimes incor-
rectly identify which cylinder is misfiring.
Use diagnostic equipment to monitor misfire counter data
on On–Board Diagnostic (EOBD) compliant vehicles.
Knowing which specific cylinder(s) misfired can lead to the
root cause, even when dealing with amultiple cylinder mis-
fire. Using the information in the misfire counters, identify
which cylinders are misfiring. If the counters indicate cylin-
ders numbers 1 and 4 misfired, look for a circuit or compo-
nent common to both cylinders number 1 and 4.
The misfire diagnostic may indicate a fault due to a tempo-
rary fault not necessarily caused by a vehicle emission
system malfunction. Examples include the following
items:
S Contaminated fuel.S Low fuel.
S Fuel–fouled spark plugs.
S Basic engine fault.
Fuel Trim System Monitor Diagnostic
Operation
This system monitors the averages of short–term and
long–term fuel trim values. If these fuel trim values stay at
their limits for a calibrated period of time, a malfunction is
indicated. The fuel trim diagnostic compares the averages
of short–term fuel trim values and long–term fuel trim val-
ues to rich and lean thresholds. If either value is within the
thresholds, a pass is recorded. If both values are outside
their thresholds, a rich or lean DTC will be recorded.
The fuel trim system diagnostic also conducts an intrusive
test. This test determines if a rich condition is being
caused by excessive fuel vapor from the Evaporative
(EVAP) Emission canister. In order to meet EOBD require-
ments, the control module uses weighted fuel trim cells to
determine the need to set a fuel trim DTC. A fuel trim DTC
can only be set if fuel trim counts in the weighted fuel trim
cells exceed specifications. This means that the vehicle
could have a fuel trim problem which is causing a problem
under certain conditions (i.e., engine idle high due to a
small vacuum leak or rough idle due to a large vacuum
leak) while it operates fine at other times. No fuel trim DTC
would set (although an engine idle speed DTC or HO2S2
DTC may set). Use a scan tool to observe fuel trim counts
while the problem is occurring.
A fuel trim DTC may be triggered by a number of vehicle
faults. Make use of all information available (other DTCs
stored, rich or lean condition, etc.) when diagnosing a fuel
trim fault.
Fuel Trim Cell Diagnostic Weights
No fuel trim DTC will set regardless of the fuel trim counts
in cell 0 unless the fuel trim counts in the weighted cells are
also outside specifications. This means that the vehicle
could have a fuel trim problem which is causing a problem
under certain conditions (i.e. engine idle high due to a
small vacuum leak or rough due to a large vacuum leak)
while it operates fine at other times. No fuel trim DTC
would set (although an engine idle speed DTC or HO2S2
DTC may set). Use a scan tool to observe fuel trim counts
while the problem is occurring.
