deviant accelerations of this type are considered noise. Noise-free deviant acceleration exceeding a given
threshold is labeled a misfire.

The number of misfires are counted over a continuous 200 revolution and 1000 (or 4000)
revolution period. (The revolution counters are not reset if the misfire monitor is temporarily disabled such
as for negative torque mode, etc.) At the end of the evaluation period, the total misfire rate and the misfire
rate for each individual cylinder is computed. The misfire rate evaluated every 200 revolution period
(Type A) and compared to a threshold value obtaine d from an engine speed/load table. This misfire
threshold is designed to prevent damage to the cat alyst due to sustained excessive temperature. If the
misfire threshold is exceeded and the catalyst temperature model calculates a catalyst mid-bed temperature
that exceeds the catalyst damage threshold, the MIL blinks at a 1 Hz rate while the misfire is present. If the
threshold is again exceeded on a subsequent driving cy cle, the MIL is illuminated. If a single cylinder is
indicated to be consistently misfiring in excess of the catalyst damage criteria, the fuel injector to that
cylinder may be shut off for a period of time to pr event catalyst damage. Up to two cylinders may be
disabled at the same time. This fuel shut-off feature is used on many 8-cylinder engines. It is never used
on a 4-cylinder or 6-cylinder engine. Next, the misf ire rate is evaluated every 1000 (or 4000) rev period
and compared to a single ( Type B ) threshold value to indicate an emission-threshold malfunction. If a
1000 rev period is calibrated, a single 1000 rev exceedence from startup or four subsequent 1000 rev
exceedences on a drive cycle after start-up is used as the malfunction criteria. If a 4000 rev period is
calibrated, a single 4000 rev exceedence is used to indicate an emission-threshold malfunction.

Rear HO2S Signal.

A functional test of the rear HO2S sensors is done dur ing normal vehicle operation. The peak rich and lean
voltages are continuously monitored. Voltages that exceed the calibratable rich and lean thresholds
indicate a functional sensor. If the voltages have not ex ceeded the thresholds after a long period of vehicle
operation, the air/fuel ratio may be forced rich or lean in an attempt to get the rear sensor to switch. This
situation normally occurs only with a green catalyst (< 500 miles). If the sensor does not exceed the rich
and lean peak thresholds, a malfunction is indicated.

Comprehensive Component Monitor - Engine

General Inputs

Analog inputs such as Ambient Air Temperature (P0072, P0073), Intake Air Temperature (P0112, P0113),
Engine Coolant Temperature (P0117, P0118), Cylinder Head Temperature (P1289, P1290), Mass Air Flow
(P0102, P0103) and Manifold Absolute Pressure (P0107, P0108) are checked for opens, shorts, or out-of-
range values by monitoring the analog -to-digital (A/D) input voltage.

Analog Sensor Check Operation:
DTCs P0072, P0073, P0112, P0113, P0117, P0118, P0102, P0103, P0107, P0108,
P1289, P1290
Monitor execution continuous
Monitor Sequence none
Monitoring Duration 5 seconds to register a malfunction

Typical analog sensor check malfunction thresholds:
Voltage < 0.20 volts or voltage > 4.80 volts

On Vehicles fitted with Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT ) Sensors, 'Fail Safe Cooling' can be applied if
the cylinder head temperature is too high. The P1299 DTC will be set under these conditions.

Loss of Keep Alive Memory (KAM) power (a separate wire feeding the PCM) results in a P1633 DTC and
immediate MIL illumination.

Loss or corruption of the Vehicle Identification (VID) Block in the PCM results in a P1639 DTC and
immediate MIL illumination.


Ignition

Electronic Ignition systems (Electronic Distributorless Ignition System - EDIS or Coil on Plug - COP)
systems are used on all applications.

The EDIS system, located in the PCM, processes the 36 (or 40) tooth crankshaft position signal to
generate a low data rate PIP signal to control a 4 or 6 terminal 'double-ended' coil pack. The 'double ended'
coils fire a pair of spark plugs simultaneously - one is on its compression stroke, the other on its exhaust
stroke. The COP system also uses the EDIS system in the same way as described above, however each
sparkplug has it’s own coil which is fired only once on the compression stroke.

The ignition system is checked by monitoring three ignition signals during normal vehicle operation:

Profile Ignition Pickup (CKP, commonly known as PIP), the timing reference signal derived from the crankshaft 36-tooth wheel and processed by the EDIS system. PIP is a 50% duty cycle, square
wave signal that has a rising edge at 10 ° BTDC.

Camshaft IDentification (CMP, commonly known at CID), a signal derived from the camshaft to identify the #1 cylinder

Serial Data Link MIL Illumination

The instrument cluster on some vehicles use the J1850 serial data link or CAN data link to receive and
display various types of information from the PCM. For example, the engine coolant temperature
information displayed on the instrument cluster com es from the same ECT sensor used by the PCM for all
its internal calculations.
These same vehicles use the J1850 serial data link or CAN data link to illuminate the MIL rather than a
circuit, hard-wired to the PCM. The PCM periodically sends the instrument cluster a message that tells it
to turn on the MIL, turn off the MIL or blink the MI L. If the instrument cluster fails to receive a message
within a 5-second timeout period, the instrument cluster itself illuminates the MIL. If communication is
restored, the instrument cluster turns off the MI L after 5 seconds. Due to its limited capabilities, the
instrument cluster does not generate or store Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
