The PCM Inputs: • Air Conditioning Controls • Battery Voltage • Brake Switch • Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor • Camshaft Position Sensor (Distributor Pick-up) • Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor • Methanol Concentration Sensor • Oxygen Sensor • SCI Receive • Speed Control System Controls • Throttle Position Sensor • Park/Neutral Switch (automatic transaxle) • Vehicle Speed Sensor PCM Outputs: • Air Conditioning Clutch Relay • Generator Field • Auto Shutdown (ASD) Relay • Duty Cycle EVAP Canister Purge Solenoid • Data Link (Diagnostic) Connector • Fuel Injectors • Idle Air Control Motor • Ignition Coil • Malfunction Indicator (Check Engine) Lamp • Radiator Fan Relay • Speed Control Solenoids • Tachometer Output • Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Based on inputs it receives, the PCM adjusts fuel injector pulse width, idle speed, ignition spark ad- The PCM adjusts injector pulse width (air-fuel ra- tio) based on the following inputs. • Coolant temperature • Exhaust gas content • Engine speed • Manifold absolute pressure • Methanol percentage of fuel • Throttle position The PCM adjusts ignition timing based on the fol- lowing inputs. • Engine speed • Manifold absolute pressure • Methanol percentage of fuel • Throttle position The auto shutdown (ASD) and fuel pump relays are mounted externally. The PCM turns both relays on The camshaft position sensor (distributor pick-up) sends a signal to the PCM. If the PCM does not re- one second of engine cranking, it deactivates the ASD and fuel pump relays.
