6E–66 4JA1/4JH1 ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
The TPS is a potentiometer connected to throttle shaft
on the throttle body. It is installed to the main TPS and
idle switch.
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the voltage
on the signal line and calculates throttle position. As the
throttle valve angle is changed when accelerator pedal
moved. The TPS signal also changed at a moved
throttle valve. As the throttle valve opens, the output
increases so that the output voltage should be high.
The engine control module (ECM) calculates fuel
delivery based on throttle valve angle.
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
The CKP sensor is located on top of the flywheel
housing of the flywheel and fix ed with a bolt.
The CKP sensor is of the magnet coil type. The
inductive pickup sensors four gaps in the flywheel
ex citer ring and is used to determine the engine speed
and engine cylinder top dead center (TDC). (1) Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)

Removal
CAUTION: When repair to the fuel system has been
completed, start engine and check the fuel system
for loose connection or leakage. For the fuel system
diagnosis, see Section “Driveability and Emission".
1. Disconnect battery ground cable.
2. Loosen slowly the fuel filler cap.
NOTE: To prevent spouting out fuel to change the
pressure in the fuel tank.
NOTE: Cover opening of the filler neck to prevent any
dust entering.
3. Jack up the vehicle.
4. Support underneath of the fuel tank with a lifter.
5. Remove the inner liner of the wheel house on rea
r
left side.
6. Remove fasten bolt to the filler neck from the
body.
7. Disconnect the quick connector (8) into the fuel
tube from the fuel pipe and the evapo tube from
evapo joint connector.
NOTE: Cover the quick connector to prevent any dus
t
entering and fuel leaking.
NOTE: Refer to “Fuel Tube/Quick Connector Fittings” in
this section when performing any repairs.
8. Remove fasten bolt (1) to the tank band and the
tank band (2).
9. Disconnect the pump and sender connector on the
fuel pump and remove the harness from weld clip
on the fuel tank.
10. Lower the fuel tank (6).
NOTE: When the fuel tank is lowered from the vehicle,
don’t scratch each hose and tube by around other pars.
Installation
1. Rise the fuel tank into position.
NOTE: Ensure hoses and tubes do not foul on othe
r
component.
2. Connect the pump and sender connector to the
fuel pump and install harness to into the plastic clip
welded to the top of the fuel tank..
NOTE: The connector must be certainly connected
against stopper.
Ensure tank band anchor mates with guide hole on
frame.
3. Install the tank band to fasten bolt.
Torque: 68 N
m (6.9kg
m/50 lb ft)
NOTE: The anchor of the tank band must be certainly
installed to guide hole on frame.
4. Connect the quick connector from the fuel tube to
the fuel pipe and the evapo tube from evapo join
t
connector.
NOTE: Pull off the left checker into the fuel pipe.
NOTE: Refer to “Fuel Tube/Quick Connector Fittings” in
this section when performing any repairs.
5. Install the filler neck to the body by bolt.
6. Install the inner liner of the wheel house on rea
r
side.

6E-70 3.5L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
Fuel Quality
Fuel quality is not a new issue for the automotive
industry, but its potential for turning on the MIL (“Check
Engine" lamp) with OBD systems is new.
Fuel additives such as “dry gas" and “octane
enhancers" may affect the performance of the fuel. 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 sho
w
up as a Fuel Trim DTC due to excessive canister
loading. High vapor pressures generated in the fuel
tank can also affect the Evaporative Emission
diagnostic as well.
Using fuel with the wrong octane rating for your vehicle
may cause driveability problems. Many of the majo
r
fuel companies advertise that using “premium" gasoline
will improve the performance of your vehicle. Mos
t
premium fuels use alcohol to increase the octane rating
of the fuel. Although alcohol-enhanced fuels may raise
the octane 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
All of the OBD diagnostics have been calibrated to run
with OEM parts.
Aftermarket electronics, such as cellular phones,
stereos, and anti-theft devices, may radiate EMI into the
control system if they are improperly installed. This may
cause a false sensor reading and turn on the MIL
(“Check Engine" lamp).
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
(“Check Engine" lamp).
Vehicle Marshaling
The transportation of new vehicles from the assembly
plant to the dealership can involve as many as 60 key
cycles within 5Km miles of driving. This type o
f
operation contributes to the fuel fouling of the spark
plugs and will turn on the MIL (“Check Engine" lamp).
Poor Vehicle Maintenance
The sensitivity of OBD diagnostics will cause the MIL
(“Check Engine" lamp) to turn on if the vehicle is no
t
maintained properly. Restricted air filters, fuel filters,
and crankcase deposits due to lack of oil changes o
r
improper oil viscosity can trigger actual vehicle faults
that were not previously monitored prior to OBD. Poo
r
vehicle maintenance can not be classified as a
“non-vehicle fault", but with the sensitivity of OBD
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
vibrations 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.
Related System Faults
Many of the OBD system diagnostics will not run if the
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 catalytic converte
r
would be suspended until Misfire fault was repaired. If
the Misfire fault was severe enough, the catalytic
converter could be damaged due to overheating and
would never set a Catalyst DTC until the Misfire faul
t
was repaired and the Catalyst diagnostic was allowed to
run to completion. If this happens, the customer may
have to make two trips to the dealership in order to
repair the vehicle.
Maintenance Schedule
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule.
Visual/Physical Engine Compartment
Inspection
Perform a careful visual and physical engine
compartment inspection when performing any
diagnostic procedure or diagnosing the cause of an
emission test failure. This can often lead to repairing a
problem without further steps. Use the following
guidelines when performing a visual/physical inspection:
Inspect all vacuum hoses for punches, cuts,
disconnects, and correct routing.
Inspect hoses that are difficult to see behind othe
r
components.
Inspect all wires in the engine compartment fo
r
proper connections, burned or chafed spots, pinched
wires, contact with sharp edges or contact with ho
t
exhaust manifolds or pipes.
