DEFINITIONS
ECM Data Description
The following information will assist in diagnosing emis-
sion or driveability problems. A first technician can view
the displays while the vehicle is being driven by second
technician. Refer to Powertrain On–Board Diagnostic
(EOBD) System Check for addition information.
A/C Clutch
The A/C Relay represents the commanded state of the
A/C clutch control relay. The A/C clutch should be en-
gaged when the scan tool displays ON.
A/C Pressure
The A/C High Side displays the pressure value of the A/C
refrigerant pressure sensor. The A/C High Side helps to
diagnose the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0533.
A/C Request
The A/C Request represents whether the air conditioning
is being requested from the HVAC selector. The input is re-
ceived by the instrument panel cluster and then sent serial
data to the ECM and finally to the scan tool over KWP 2000
serial data.
Air Fuel Ratio
The Air Fuel Ration indicates the air to fuel ratio based on
the Front Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S1) inputs. The
ECM uses the fuel trims to adjust fueling in order to at-
tempt to maintain an air fuel ratio of 14.7:1.BARO
The Barometric Pressure (BARO) sensor measures the
change in the intake manifold pressure which results from
altitude changes. This value is updated at ignition ON and
also at Wide Open Throttle (WOT).
Base Injection PWM
Indicates the base Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) or ON
time of the indicated cylinder injector in milliseconds.
When the engine load is increased, the injector pulse width
will increase.
Calculated Air Flow
The calculated air flow is a calculation based on manifold
absolute pressure. The calculation is used in several diag-
nostics to determine when to run the diagnostics.
Desired Idle Speed
The ECM commands the idle speed. The ECM compen-
sates for various engine loads in order to maintain the de-
sired idle speed. The actual engine speed should remain
close to the desired idle under the various engine loads
with the engine idling.
Engine Coolant Temperature
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor sends en-
gine temperature information to the ECM. The ECM sup-
plies 5 volts to the engine coolant temperature sensor cir-
cuit. The sensor is a thermistor which changes internal
resistance as temperature changes. When the sensor is
cold (internal resistance high), the ECM monitors a high
voltage which it interprets as a cold engine. As the sensor
warms (internal resistance decreases), the voltage signal
will decrease and the ECM will interpret the lower voltage
as a warm engine.

Spark Advance
This is a display of the spark advance Ignition Coil (IC) cal-
culation which the ECM is programming in the ignition sys-
tem. It computes the desired spark advance using data
such as engine temperature, rpm, engine load, vehicle
speed and operating mode.
TCC Engaged
When the brake pedal is applied, the Torque Converter
Clutch (TCC) brake switch sends a signal to the ECM to
disengage the TCC and disable the cruise control.
Total Misfire Current Counter
Indicates the total number of misfires that have been de-tected in all the cylinders after 100 engine cycles. One
cycle equals one complete 4 stroke cycle. The total misfire
only increments during the steady state cruise conditions.
TP Sensor
The ECM uses the TP Sensor in order to determine the
amount of the throttle demanded by the vehicle’s operator.
The TP Sensor reads between 0.36–0.96 volts at idle to
above 4 volts at WOT.
Vehicle Speed
The vehicle speed sensor signal is converted into mph or
km/h for display. The vehicle speed output from the ECM
is 4000 pulses per mile. The scan tool uses the KWP 2000
serial data from the ECM to obtain vehicle speed, while the
Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC), cruise control module and
the chime alarm module use the 4000 ppm output.

DATA LINK CONNECTOR DIAGNOSIS (1.4L/1.6L DOHC)
Circuit Description
The provision for communicating with the Engine Control
Module (ECM) is the Data Link Connector (DLC). It is lo-
cated under the instrument panel. The DLC is used to con-
nect the scan tool. Battery power and ground is supplied
for the scan tool through the DLC. The Keyword 2000 seri-
al data circuit to the DLC allows the ECM to communicate
with the scan tool. A Universal Asynchronous Receiver
Transmitter (UART) serial data line is used to communi-
cate with the other modules such as the Electronic Brake
Control Module (EBCM), the Supplemental Inflatable Re-
straint (SIR) system. and the Instrument Panel Cluster.
Diagnostic Aids
Ensure that the correct application (model line, car year,
etc.) has been selected on the scan tool. If communication
still cannot be established, try the scan tool on another ve-
hicle to ensure that the scan tool or cables are not the
cause of the condition.
An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection,
rubbed through wire insulation, or a broken wire inside the
insulation.
Any circuitry that is suspected of causing an intermittent
complaint should be thoroughly checked for the following
conditions:
S Backed–out terminals.S Improper mating of terminals.
S Broken locks.
S Improperly formed or damaged terminals.
S Poor terminal–to–wiring connection.
S Physical damage to the wiring harness.
S Corrosion.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the Diag-
nostic Table.
1. The On–Board Diagnostic (EOBD) System Check
prompts the technician to complete some basic
checks and store the freeze frame and failure re-
cords data on the scan tool if applicable. This
creates an electronic copy of the data taken when
the malfunction occurred. The information is then
stored on the scan tool for later reference.
2. Unlike the UART serial data circuit, the only time a
Class II serial data circuit has any voltage on it is
when a scan tool asks the ECM for information and
sends the information out.
5. Locate and repair any shorts that may have caused
the fuse to open before replacement, if the no volt-
age condition was due to an open fuse.
10. The scan tool or associated cables could be mal-
functioning. Refer to the scan tool’s manual for re-
pair information.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0501
VEHICLE SPEED NO SIGNAL (M/T ONLY)
Circuit Description
Vehicle speed information is provided to the engine control
module (ECM) by the voltage speed sensor (VSS) is a per-
manent magnet generator that is mounted in the transaxle
and produces a pulsing voltage whenever vehicle speed
is over 3 mph (5km/h). The A/C voltage level and the num-
ber of pulses increase with vehicle speed. The ECM con-
verts the pulsing voltage into mph (km/h) and than sup-
plies the necessary signal to the instrument panel for
speedometer/ odometer operation and to the cruise con-
trol module and multi–function alarm module operation.
The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will detect if vehicle
speed is reasonable according to engine rpm and load.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
S Vehicle speed is not change at least 25 seconds.
S Engine speed is greater than 2,500rpm.
S MAF is greater than 180mg/tdc.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
S The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illumi-
nate.S The ECM will record operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. This information will be
stored in the Freeze Frame and Failure Records
buffers.
S A history DTC is stored.
S Coolant fan turns on.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
S The MIL will turn off after four consecutive ignition
cycles in which the diagnostic runs without a fault.
S A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm
up cycles without a fault.
S Using the scan tool can clear DTC(s).
S Disconnecting the ECM battery feed for 10 sec-
onds.
Diagnostic Aids

VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR NO SIGNAL (ENGINE SIDE)
Circuit Description
Vehicle speed information is provided to the Engine Con-
trol Module (ECM) by the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS).
The VSS is a permanent magnet generator that is
mounted in the transaxle and produces a pulsing voltage
whenever vehicle speed is over 3 mph (5 km/h). The Alter-
nating Current (AC) voltage level and the number of
pulses increases with vehicle speed. The ECM converts
the pulsing voltage into mph (km/h) and then supplies the
necessary signal to the instrument panel for speedometer/
odometer operation and to the cruise control module and
multi–function alarm module operation. This Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) will detect if vehicle speed is reason-
able according to engine rpm and load.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
S Vehicle speed is less than 5 km/h (3.1 mph) for
Power and Decel test.
S Engine is running.
S Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is greater than
60 °C (140 °F).
