GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
IGNITION SYSTEM OPERATION
This ignition system does not use a conventional distribu-
tor and coil. It uses a crankshaft position sensor input to
the engine control module (ECM). The ECM then deter-
mines Electronic Spark Timing (EST) and triggers the di-
rect ignition system ignition coil.
This type of distributorless ignition system uses a ”waste
spark” method of spark distribution. Each cylinder is
paired with the cylinder that is opposite it (1–4 or 2–3). The
spark occurs simultaneously in the cylinder coming up on
the compression stroke and in the cylinder coming up on
the exhaust stroke. The cylinder on the exhaust stroke re-
quires very little of the available energy to fire the spark
plug. The remaining energy is available to the spark plug
in the cylinder on the compression stroke.
These systems use the EST signal from the ECM to con-
trol the electronic spark timing. The ECM uses the follow-
ing information:
S Engine load (manifold pressure or vacuum).
S Atmospheric (barometric) pressure.
S Engine temperature.
S Intake air temperature.
S Crankshaft position.
S Engine speed (rpm).
ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
IGNITION COIL
The Electronic Ignition (EI) system ignition coil provides
the spark for two spark plugs simultaneously. The EI sys-
tem ignition coil is not serviceable and must be replaced
as an assembly.
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
This direct ignition system uses a magnetic crankshaft
position sensor. This sensor protrudes through its mount
to within approximately 0.05 inch (1.3 mm) of the crank-
shaft reluctor. The reluctor is a special wheel attached to
the crankshaft or crankshaft pulley with 58 slots machined
into it, 57 of which are equally spaced in 6 degree intervals.
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, creating an in-
duced voltage pulse. The longer pulse of the 58th slot
identifies a specific orientation of the crankshaft and al-
lows the engine control module (ECM) to determine the
crankshaft orientation at all times. The ECM uses this in-
formation to generate timed ignition and injection pulses
that it sends to the ignition coils and to the fuel injectors.
CAMAHAFT POSITION SENSOR
The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor sends a CMP sen-
sor signal 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 sensor sig-
nal to indicate the position of the #1 piston during its power
stroke. This allows the ECM to calculate true sequential
fuel injection mode of operation. If the ECM detects an in-
correct CMP sensor signal while the engine is running,
DTC P0341 will set. If the CMP sensor 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 engine can be restarted.
It will run in the calculated sequential 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 tem-
perature, 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 indi-
vidual fuel injectors mounted into the intake manifold near
each cylinder.
The two main fuel control sensors are the Manifold Abso-
lute Pressure (MAP) sensor, the Front Heated Oxygen
Sensor (HO2S1) and the Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor
(HO2S2).
The MAP sensor measures or senses the intake manifold
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 information to ri-
chen 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 de-
creases the fuel injector on–time due to the low fuel de-
mand conditions.
HO2S Sensors
The HO2S sensor is located in the exhaust manifold. The
HO2S sensor indicates to the ECM the amount of oxygen
in the exhaust gas and the ECM changes the air/fuel ratio
to the engine by controlling the fuel injectors. The best air/
fuel ratio to minimize exhaust emissions is 14.7 to 1, which
allows the catalytic converter to operate most efficiently.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CANISTER
The Evaporative (EVAP) Emission canister is an emission
control device containing activated charcoal granules.
The EVAP emission canister is used to store fuel vapors
from the fuel tank. Once certain conditions are met, the en-
gine control module (ECM) activates the EVAP canister
purge solenoid, allowing the fuel vapors to be drawn into
the engine cylinders and burned.
POSITIVE CRANKCASE
VENTILATION SYSTEM OPERATION
A Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system is used to
provide complete use of the crankcase vapors. Fresh air
from the air cleaner is supplied to the crankcase. The fresh
air is mixed with blowby gases which are then passed
through a vacuum hose into the intake manifold.
Periodically inspect the hoses and the clamps. Replace
any crankcase ventilation components as required.
A restricted or plugged PCV hose may cause the following
conditions:
S Rough idle
S Stalling or low idle speed
S Oil leaks
S Oil in the air cleaner
S Sludge in the engine
A leaking PCV hose may cause the following conditions:
S Rough idle
S Stalling
S High idle speed
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is a
thermistor (a resistor which changes value based on tem-
perature) mounted in the engine coolant stream. Low cool-
ant temperature produces a high resistance (100,000
ohms at –40 °F [–40 °C]) while high temperature causes
low resistance (70 ohms at 266 °F [130 °C]).
The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 volts to the
ECT sensor through a resistor in the ECM and measures
the change in voltage. The voltage will be high when the
engine is cold, and low when the engine is hot. By measur-
ing the change in voltage, the ECM can determine the
coolant temperature. The engine coolant temperature af-
fects most of the systems that the ECM controls. A failure
in the ECT sensor circuit should set a diagnostic trouble
code P0117 or P0118. Remember, these diagnostic
trouble codes indicate a failure in the ECT sensor circuit,
so proper use of the chart will lead either to repairing a wir-
ing problem or to replacing the sensor to repair a problem
properly.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer con-
nected to the throttle shaft of the throttle body. The TP sen-
sor electrical circuit consists of a 5 volt supply line and a
ground line, both provided by the engine control module
(ECM). The ECM calculates the throttle position by moni-
toring the voltage on this signal line. The TP sensor output
changes as the accelerator pedal is moved, changing the
throttle valve angle. At a closed throttle position, the output
of the TP sensor is low, about 0.5 volt. As the throttle valve
opens, the output increases so that, at Wide Open Throttle
(WOT), the output voltage will be about 5 volts.
The ECM can determine fuel delivery based on throttle
valve angle (driver demand). A broken or loose TP sensor
can cause intermittent bursts of fuel from the injector and
an unstable idle, because the ECM thinks the throttle is
moving. A problem in any of the TP sensor circuits should
set a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0121 or P0122.
Once the DTC is set, the ECM will substitute a default val-
ue for the TP sensor and some vehicle performance will
return. A DTC P0121 will cause a high idle speed.
CATALYST MONITOR OXYGEN
SENSORS
Three–way catalytic converters are used to control emis-
sions of hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and
oxides of nitrogen (NOx). The catalyst within the convert-
ers promotes a chemical reaction. This reaction oxidizes
the HC and CO present in the exhaust gas and converts
them into harmless water vapor and carbon dioxide. The
catalyst also reduces NOx by converting it to nitrogen. The
engine control module (ECM) can monitor this process us-
ing the HO2S1 and HO2S2 sensor. These sensors pro-
duce an output signal which indicates the amount of oxy-
gen present in the exhaust gas entering and leaving the
three–way converter. This indicates the catalyst’s ability to
efficiently convert exhaust gasses. If the catalyst is operat-
ing efficiently, the HO2S1 sensor signals will be more ac-
tive than the signals produced by the HO2S2 sensor. The
catalyst monitor sensors operate the same way as the fuel
control sensors. The sensor’s main function is catalyst
monitoring, but they also have a limited role in fuel control.
If a sensor output indicates a voltage either above or below
the 450 mv bias voltage for an extended period of time, the
ECM will make a slight adjustment to fuel trim to ensure
that fuel delivery is correct for catalyst monitoring.
A problem with the HO2S1 sensor circuit will set DTC
P0131, P0132, P0133 or P0134 depending, on the special
condition. A problem with the HO2S2 sensor signal will set
DTC P0137, P0138, P0140 or P0141, depending on the
special condition.
A fault in the Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S2) heat-
er element or its ignition feed or ground will result in lower
oxygen sensor response. This may cause incorrect cata-
lyst monitor diagnostic results.

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.

Trip
Technically, a trip is a key–on run key–off cycle in which all
the enable criteria for a given diagnostic are met, allowing
the diagnostic to run. Unfortunately, this concept is not
quite that simple. A trip is official when all the enable crite-
ria 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 ve-
hicle first starts up; some require that the vehicle be cruis-
ing at a steady highway speed, some run only when the
vehicle is at idle; some diagnostics function with the
Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) disabled. Some run only
immediately following a cold engine startup.
A trip then, is defined as a key–on run key–off cycle in
which the vehicle was operated in such a way as to satisfy
the enables 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 diag-
nostic 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 designed
to locate a faulty circuit or component through a process
of logical decisions. The charts are prepared with the re-
quirement that the vehicle functioned correctly 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 malfunction
is a system of diagnostic trouble codes. When a malfunc-
tion is detected by the control module, a diagnostic trouble
code is set and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is illu-
minated.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is required by On–
Board Diagnostics (EOBD) that it illuminates under a strict
set of guide lines.
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 Executive.
The MIL will be turned on if an emissions–related diagnos-
tic 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 completed.
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:
S The diagnostic tests that are passed must occur
with 375 rpm of the rpm data stored at the time the
last test failed.
S 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:
S It informs the driver that a fault that affects vehicle
emission levels has occurred and that the vehicle
should be taken for service as soon as possible.
S As a system check, the MIL will come on with the
key ON and the engine not running. When the en-
gine is started, the MIL will turn OFF.
S 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.
Data Link Connector (DLC)
The provision for communicating with the control module
is the Data Link Connector (DLC). The DLC is used to con-
nect to a scan tool. Some common uses of the scan tool
are listed below:
S Identifying stored DTCs.
S Clearing DTCs.
S Performing output control tests.
S Reading serial data.

5A1 – 50IZF 4 HP 16 AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
TCC shudder should only occur during the APPLY and/or
RELEASE of the Lock up clutch.
While TCC Is Applying Or Releasing
If the shudder occurs while TCC is applying, the problem
can be within the transaxle or torque converter.
Something is not allowing the clutch to become fully en-
gaged, not allowing clutch to release, or is trying to release
and apply the clutch at the same time. This could be
caused by leaking turbine shaft seals, a restricted release
orifice, a distorted clutch or housing surface due to long
converter bolts, or defective friction material on the TCC
plate.
Shudder Occurs After TCC Has Applied :
In this case, most of the time there is nothing wrong with
the transaxle! As mentioned above, once the TCC has
been applied, it is very unlikely that will slip. Engine prob-
lems may go unnoticed under light throttle and load, but
become noticeable after TCC apply when going up a hill
or accelerating, due to the mechanical coupling between
engine and transaxle.
Important : Once TCC is applied there is no torque con-
verter assistance. Engine or driveline vibrations could be
unnoticeable before TCC engagement.
Inspect the following components to avoid misdiagnosis of
TCC shudder and possibly disassembling a transaxle and/
or replacing a torque converter unnecessarily :
S Spark plugs – Inspect for cracks, high resistance or
broken insulator.
S Plug wires – Lock in each end, if there is red dust
(ozone) or black substance (carbon) present, then
the wires are bad. Also look for a white discolor-
ation of the wire indicating arcing during hard accel-
eration.
S Distributor cap and rotor – look for broken or un–
crimped parts.
S Coil – look for black on bottom indication arcing
while engine is misfiring.
S Fuel injector – filter may be plugged.
S Vacuum leak – engine won’t get correct amount of
fuel. May run rich or lean depending on where the
leak is.S EGR valve – valve may let it too much unburnable
exhaust gas and cause engine to run lean.
S MAP sensor – like vacuum leak, engine won’t get
correct amount of fuel for proper engine operation.
S Carbon on intake valves – restricts proper flow or
air/fuel mixture into cylinders.
S Flat cam – valves don’t open enough to let proper
fuel/air mixture into cylinders.
S Oxygen sensor – may command engine too rich or
too lean for too long.
S Fuel pressure – may be too low.
S Engine mounts – vibration of mounts can be multi-
plied by TCC engagement.
S Axle joints – checks for vibration.
S TPS – TCC apply and release depends on the TPS
in many engines. If TPS is out of specification, TCC
may remain applied during initial engine starting.
S Cylinder balance – bad piston rings or poorly seal-
ing valves can cause low power in a cylinder.
S Fuel contamination – causes poor engine perfor-
mance.
TCM INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE
When one or more operations such as shown below are
performed, all learned contents which are stored in TCM
memory should be erased after the operations.
S When A/T H/W is replaced in a vehicle,
S When a used TCU is installed in other vehicle,
S When a vehicle condition is unstable (engine RPM
flare, TPS toggling and so on; at this kind of unsta-
ble conditions, mis–adaptation might be done).
1. Connect the Scan 100 with a DLC connector in a
vehicle.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Turn the power on for the Scan 100.
4. Follow the ”TCM LEARNED INITIALIZE” procedure
on the Scan 100 menu.
Notice : Before pushing ”Yes” Button for TCM initialization
on the Scan 100 screen, make sure that the condition is
as follows:
Condition :
1. Engine idle.
2. Select lever set ”P” range.
