Ignition Diagnostic Monitor (IDM), a signal which indicates that the primary side of the coil has
fired. This signal is received as a digital pulsewidth signal from the EDIS system which process
the high voltage flyback signal from the primary side coil.

The relationship between successive PIP events is ev aluated to determine whether the PIP signal is
rational. Too large a change in 3 successive PIP indicates a missing or noisy PIP signal (P0320 or P0321).
Then the CMP edge count is compared to the PIP e dge count. If the proper ratio of CMP events to PIP
events is not being maintained (for example, 1 CMP e dge for every 8 PIP edges for an 8-cylinder engine),
it indicates a missing or noisy CMP signal (P0340). Finally, the relationship between IDM edges and PIP
edges is evaluated. If there is not an IDM edge (co il firing) for every PIP edge (commanded spark event),
the PCM will look for a pattern of failed IDM events to determine which ignition coil has failed circuit
continuity (P0351-56).

For coils : Ratio of PIP events to IDM events: 1:1

The Intake Manifold Runner Control (IMRC) is a syst em which uses dual intake runners to supply air to
each cylinder. The secondary runners are normally closed, but the PCM opens them under high rpm
conditions when the driver is demanding additiona l power from the engine. The IMRC system can be
actuated using an electric motor or a vacuum moto r. The IMRC system is functionally checked by
monitoring the runner control plates using switches. If the actual position of the runner control plates does
not match the commanded position, a malfunction of the IMRC system is indicated (P1518, P1519).

The Swirl Control Valve (SCV) is a system which uses di fferent regions of the Intake plenum to influence
the pattern of the airflow into the combustion chamber.

It is important to note that this functional / rationality check may or may not be a MIL Code. This is
dependent on whether the EOBD Thresholds are exceeded.

IMRC / SCV System Check Operation:
DTCs P1520 (IMRC input switch electrical check)
P1518, P 1519 (IMRC stuck open functional check)
Monitor execution continuous
Monitor Sequence none
Monitoring Duration 5 seconds

Typical IMRC functional check malfunction thresholds
IMRC plates do not match commanded position (functional)
IMRC switches open/shorted (electrical)


Camshaft Position Control (also known as Variable Cam Ti ming) is a system which is able to advance and
retard camshaft timing relative to the crankshaft. Th is phasing is controlled by a duty-cycled output. The
output driver is checked electrically for opens and s horts (P1380). The system is checked functionally by
monitoring the closed loop phase control correction. If the proper phasing cannot be maintained and the
system has an advance or retard error greater than the malfunction threshold, a CPC control malfunction is
indicated (P1381, P1383).

It is important to note that the functional / rationality checks may or may not be a MIL Code. This is
dependent on whether the EOBD Thresholds are exceeded.

Camshaft Position Control System Check Operation:
DTCs P1380 (CPC output electrical check)
P1381 (CPC timing over-advanced functional check)
P1383 (CPC timing over-retarded functional check)
Monitor execution continuous
Monitor Sequence ECT > 150 oF
Monitoring Duration 5 seconds

Typical CPC functional check malfunction thresholds:
timing over-advanced/over-retard ed by > 10 crankshaft degrees

Engine CCM temporary disablement conditions ( other than entry requirements ) :
None, except CPC does not operate (and is therefore not checked) if ACT/IAT, ECT/CHT, MAF/MAP or
TP sensors are malfunctioning.

Comprehensive Component Monitor - Automatic Transmission

General

The MIL is illuminated for all emissions related electrical component malfunctions. For malfunctions
attributable to a mechanical component (such as a clutch, gear, band, valve, etc.), some transmissions are
capable of not commanding the mechanically faile d component and providing the remaining maximum
functionality (functionality is reassessed on each power up). In such case a non-MIL Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) will be stored and, if so equipped, a Transmission Control Indicator Light (TCIL) will flash.
For example on the CD4E transmission, if a gear ratio is not properly obtained and verified due to a
mechanical malfunction, the unobtainable gear is no longer commanded for that power up, the DTC is
stored and the TCIL flashes.

Inspection Maintenance Readiness Code


I/M readiness information indicates whether a full diagnos tic check has been completed, i.e. the minimum
number of driving cycles necessary for MIL illumination has been completed since computer memory was
last cleared. Information available to the test equi pment or diagnostic tool includes all the non-continuous
monitors. Misfire, Fuel System and CCM monitors are assumed to complete if all the non-continues
monitors have completed.

A P1000 DTC is stored after an OBD reset is performed, until the I/M readiness check is complete.



Tamper Protection


The AML EOBD System shall meet ISO DIS 15031-7 / SAE J2186 - Diagnostic Data Link Security
requirements, to write-protect any re-programmable co mputer code. Additional data will be stored in the
PCM Vehicle Identification Block to enable retrieva l of VIN (although VIN may not be in the VID block
for all vehicles), CALID (CALibration ID identifi es the specific calibration) and CVN (Calibration
Verification Number, similar to an encrypted check sum). CALID and CVN will be tracked for all initial
releases, running changes and field fixes.

To achieve this data retrieva l J1979 Mode 09 will be implemented for VIN, CALD and CVN.



Serial Data Link Connector

The connection between the vehicle and the diagnostic tester shall comply with ISO DIS 15031-3 / SAE
J1962. Whereby the connector will be located in the passenger compartment in the area bounded by the
driver's end of the instrument panel to 300mm beyond the vehicle center line, attached to the instrument
panel and accessible from the driver's seat, and permit one handed / blind insertion of the mating
connector.



Serial Data Link Communication Protocol

The Communication Protocol used by the AML EOBD system will conform to ISO DIS 15031-4 / SAE
J1850, Class B Data Communication Network In terface (41.6kbps) / ISO DIS 15765-4 Diagnostics on
Controller Area Network (CAN).

Basic diagnostic data and bi-directional control inform ation will be provided using the format and units as
described in ISO DIS 15031-5 / SAE J1979 and will be av ailable to Test equipment and diagnostics tools
meeting the requirements of ISO DIS 15031-4 / SAE J1850.
