Circuit Description The cruise resume/accel switch is an input to the fuel control portion of the PCM. These inputs allow the PCM to control and hold a requested speed. The cruise resume/accel switch sends ignition voltage to the PCM when the switch is closed (ON). Conditions for Running the DTC • The PCM performs this… Read More »
Refer to PCM, VSS Buffer, VSS, EBCM. Circuit Description The speed sensor circuit consists of a magnetic induction type sensor, a vehicle speed sensor buffer module and wiring. Gear teeth pressed on the output shaft induce an alternating current in the sensor. This signal is transmitted to the buffer. The buffer compensates for various axle… Read More »
Refer to Emission Hose Routing Diagram Circuit Description A EGR control pressure/baro sensor is used to monitor the amount of vacuum in the EGR circuit. It senses the actual vacuum in the EGR vacuum line and sends a signal back to the PCM. This signal is used to control EGR duty cycle calculated by the… Read More »

Circuit Description The PCM operates a solenoid to control the EGR valve. This solenoid is normally open. By providing a ground path the PCM energizes the solenoid which then allows vacuum to pass to the EGR valve. During normal operation, the PCM compares its desired EGR signal with the EGR pressure signal and makes corrections… Read More »
Circuit Description The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine during a given time. The PCM uses the mass air flow information to monitor EGR flow rates. A large quantity of air entering the engine indicates an acceleration, high load situation or no EGR flow, while a small quantity… Read More »
Circuit Description The PCM operates a PWM solenoid to control the EGR valve. This solenoid is normally open. By providing a ground path the PCM energizes the solenoid which then allows vacuum to pass to the EGR valve. During normal operation, the PCM compares its desired MAF signal with the measured MAF signal and makes… Read More »

Refer to PCM, Glow Plugs, Underhood Fuse-Relay Center Circuit Description The glow plug system is used to assist in providing the heat required to begin combustion during cold engine temperatures. The glow plugs are heated before and during cranking, as well as initial engine operation. The PCM controls the glow plug ON times by monitoring… Read More »
Circuit Description. The optical sensor provides a high resolution signal to the PCM by counting pulses on the sensor disk located in the injection pump. The high resolution is one of the most important inputs by the PCM for fuel control and timing. This test monitors the number of high resolution pulses which have been… Read More »
