GENERAL DESCRIPTION FOR ECM AND
SENSORS
Engine Control Module (ECM)
1 2
(1) A Port
(2) B Port
The engine control module (ECM) is located on the
common chamber. The ECM controls the following.
Fuel metering system
Ignition timing
On-board diagnostics for powertrain functions.
The ECM constantly observes the information from
various sensors. The ECM controls the systems tha
t
affect vehicle performance. And it performs the
diagnostic function of the system.
The function can recognize operational problems, and
warn to the driver through the check engine lamp, and
store diagnostic trouble code (DTC). DTCs identify the
problem areas to aid the technician in marking repairs.
The input / output devices in the ECM include analog to
digital converts, signal buffers, counters and drivers.
The ECM controls most components with electronic
switches which complete a ground circuit when turned
on.
Inputs (Operating condition read):
Battery voltage
Electrical ignition
Exhaust oxygen content
Mass air flow
Intake air temperature
Engine coolant temperature
Crankshaft position
Camshaft position
Throttle position
Vehicle speed
Power steering pressure
Air conditioning request on or off
EGR valve position
Outputs (Systems controlled):
Ignition control
Fuel control
Idle air control
Fuel pump
EVAP canister purge
Air conditioning
Diagnostics functions
The vehicle with automatic transmission, the
interchange of data between the engine control module
(ECM) and the transmission control module (TCM) is
performed via a CAN-bus system.
The following signals are exchanged via the CAN-bus:
ECM to TCM:
ECM CAN signal status
Engine torque
Coolant temperature
Throttle position
Engine speed
A/C status
CAN valid counter
TCM to ECM:
Ignition timing retard request
Garage shift status
CAN valid counter
6E-52 3.5L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor & Intake Air
Temperature (IAT) Sensor
The MAF sensor is part of the intake air system.
It is fitted between the air cleaner & throttle body and
measure the mass air flowing into the engine.
The MAF sensor uses a hot wire element to determine
the amount of air flowing into the engine. (The wire
temperature reaches to 170 - 300C)
The MAF sensor assembly consist of a MAF senso
r
element and an intake air temperature sensor that are
both exposed to the air flow to be measured.
The MAF sensor element measures the partial air mass
through a measurement duct on the sensor housing.
Using calibration, there is an extrapolation to the entire
mass air flow to the engine.
The IAT sensor is a thermistor. A temperature changes
the resistance value. And it changes voltage. In othe
r
words it measures a temperature value. Low air
temperature produces a high resistance.
The ECM supplies 5 volts signal to the IAT senso
r
through resisters in the ECM and measures the voltage.
The signal voltage will be high when the air temperature
is cold, and it will be low when the air temperature is
hot. Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
1
2
(1) Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
(2) Idle Air Control Valve (IACValve)
The TPS is a potentiometer connected to throttle shaf
t
on the throttle body.
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 throttle body has a throttle plate to control the
amount of air delivered to the engine. Engine coolant is
directed through a coolant cavity in the throttle body to
warm the throttle valve and to prevent icing.

Basic Knowledge of Tools Required
Lack of basic knowledge of this powertrain when
performing diagnostic procedures could result in an
incorrect diagnosis or damage to powertrain
components. Do not attempt to diagnose a powertrain
problem without this basic knowledge.
A basic understanding of hand tools is necessary to
effectively use this section of the Service Manual.
Serial Data Communications
Class II Serial Data Communications
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 transmitting and receiving multiple signals
over a single wire. The messages carried on Class II
data streams are also prioritized. If two messages
attempt to establish communications 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. The most significant result of this regulation
is that it provides Tech 2 manufacturers with the
capability to access data from any make or model
vehicle that is sold.
The data displayed on the other Tech 2 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. For more information on this system of coding,
refer to Decimal/Binary/Hexadecimal Conversions.On
this vehicle the Tech 2 displays the actual values fo
r
vehicle parameters. It will not be necessary to perform
any conversions from coded values to actual values.
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD)
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:
The diagnostic test has been completed since the
last ignition cycle.
The diagnostic test has passed during the curren
t
ignition cycle.
The fault identified by the diagnostic test is no
t
currently active.
When a diagnostic test reports a fail result, the
diagnostic executive records the following data:
The diagnostic test has been completed since the
last ignition cycle.
The fault identified by the diagnostic test is currently
active.
The fault has been active during this ignition cycle.
The operating conditions at the time of the failure.
Remember, a fuel trim DTC may be triggered by a list o
f
vehicle faults. Make use of all information available
(other DTCs stored, rich or lean condition, etc.) when
diagnosing a fuel trim fault.
Comprehensive Component Monitor
Diagnostic Operation
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 sensor that indicates
high throttle position at low engine loads. Inpu
t
components may include, but are not limited to the
following sensors:
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
Inlet Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
Mass Air Flow (MAF) 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
control.
Output Components:
Output components are diagnosed for proper response
to control module commands. Components where
functional monitoring is not feasible will be monitored fo
r
circuit continuity and out-of-range values if applicable.
Output components to be monitored include, but are no
t
limited to, the following circuit:
Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve
Control module controlled EVAP Canister Purge
Valve
Electronic Transmission controls
A/C relays
VSS output
MIL control
Refer to ECM and Sensors in General Descriptions.

When the engine is first started the system is in "Open Loop" operation.
In "Open Loop", the ECM ignores the signal from the oxygen sensors.
When various conditions (ECT, time from start, engine speed & oxygen sensor
output) are met, the system enters "Closed Loop" operation.
In "Closed Loop", the ECM calculates the air fuel ratio based on the signal from the
oxygen sensors.

When conditions are appropriate for enabling long term fuel trim corrections, fuel trim
learn will display "Yes".
This indicates that the long term fuel trim is responding to the short term fuel trim.
If the fuel trim lean displays "No", then long term fuel trim will not respond to changes
in short term fuel trim.
