1F – 10 ENGINE CONTROLS

fuels use alcohol to increase the octane rating of the
fuel. Although alcohol-enhanced fuels may raise the oc-
tane rating, the fuel’s ability to turn into vapor in cold
temperatures deteriorates. This may affect the starting
ability and cold driveability of the engine.

Low fuel levels can lead to fuel starvation, lean engine
operation, and eventually engine misfire.

Non-OEM Parts

The EOBD system has been calibrated to run with Origi-
nal Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts. Something
as simple as a high performance-exhaust system that
affects exhaust system back pressure could potentially
interfere with the operation of the Electric Exhaust Gas
Recirculation (EEGR) valve and thereby turn on the
MIL. Small leaks in the exhaust system near the heated
oxygen sensor (HO2S) can also cause the MIL to turn
on.

Aftermarket electronics, such as cellular phones, ster-
eos, and anti-theft devices, may radiate Electromagnet-
ic Interference (EMI) into the control system if they are
improperly installed. This may cause a false sensor
reading and turn on the MIL.

Environment

Temporary environmental conditions, such as localized
flooding, will have an effect on the vehicle ignition sys-
tem. If the ignition system is rain-soaked, it can tempo-
rarily cause engine misfire and turn on the MIL.

Vehicle Marshaling

The transportation of new vehicles from the assembly
plant to the dealership can involve as many as 60 key
cycles within 2 to 3 miles of driving. This type of opera-
tion contributes to the fuel fouling of the spark plugs and
will turn on the MIL with a set DTC P0300.

Poor Vehicle Maintenance

The sensitivity of the EOBD will cause the MIL to turn on
if the vehicle is not maintained properly. Restricted air fil-
ters, fuel filters, and crankcase deposits due to lack of oil
changes or improper oil viscosity can trigger actual ve-
hicle faults that were not previously monitored prior to
EOBD. Poor vehicle maintenance can not be classified
as a “non-vehicle fault,” but with the sensitivity of the
EOBD, vehicle maintenance schedules must be more
closely followed.

Severe Vibration

The Misfire diagnostic measures small changes in the
rotational speed of the crankshaft. Severe driveline
vibrations in the vehicle, such as caused by an exces-
sive amount of mud on the wheels, can have the same
effect on crankshaft speed as misfire and, therefore,
may set DTC P0300.

Related System Faults

Many of the EOBD system diagnostics will not run if the
Engine Control Module (ECM) detects a fault on a re-
lated system or component. One example would be that

if the ECM detected a Misfire fault, the diagnostics on
the catalytic converter would be suspended until the
Misfire fault was repaired. If the Misfire fault is severe
enough, the catalytic converter can be damaged due to
overheating and will never set a Catalyst DTC until the
Misfire fault is repaired and the Catalyst diagnostic is al-
lowed to run to completion. If this happens, the custom-
er may have to make two trips to the dealership in order
to repair the vehicle.

SERIAL DATA COMMUNICATIONS

Keyword 2000 Serial Data
Communications

Government regulations require that all vehicle
manufacturers establish a common communication sys-
tem. This vehicle utilizes the “Keyword 2000” commu-
nication 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 sig-
nals over a single wire. The messages carried on Key-
word 2000 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 scan tool manufacturers
with the capability to access data from any make or
model vehicle that is sold.

The data displayed on the other scan tool 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 val-
ue. On this vehicle, the scan tool displays the actual val-
ues for vehicle parameters. It will not be necessary to
perform any conversions from coded values to actual
values.

EURO ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC
(EOBD)

Euro 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 diag-
nostic executive records the following data:

The diagnostic test has been completed since the last
ignition cycle.

The diagnostic test has passed during the current
ignition cycle.

The fault identified by the diagnostic test is not cur-
rently active.

When a diagnostic test reports a fail result, the diagnos-
tic executive records the following data:

The diagnostic test has been completed since the last
ignition cycle.

ENGINE CONTROLS 1F – 11

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 Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
may be triggered by a list of 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

Comprehensive component monitoring diagnostics are
required to monitor emissions-related input and output
powertrain components.

Input Components

Input components are monitored for circuit continuity
and out-of-range values. This includes rationality check-
ing. Rationality checking refers to indicating a fault when
the signal from a sensor does not seem reasonable, i.e.
Throttle Position (TP) sensor that indicates high throttle
position at low engine loads or Manifold Absolute Pres-
sure (MAP) voltage. Input components may include, but
are not limited to, the following sensors:

Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS).

Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor.

Throttle Position (TP) sensor.

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor.

Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor.

MAP 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 con-
trol.

Output Components

Output components are diagnosed for proper response
to control module commands. Components where func-
tional monitoring is not feasible will be monitored for cir-
cuit continuity and out-of-range values if applicable.
Output components to be monitored include, but are not
limited to the following circuit:

Idle Air Control (IAC) Motor.

Controlled Canister Purge Valve.

A/C relays.

Cooling fan relay.

VSS output.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) control.

Refer to “Engine Control Module” and the sections on
Sensors in General Descriptions.

Passive and Active Diagnostic Tests

A passive test is a diagnostic test which simply monitors
a vehicle system or component. Conversely, an active

test, actually takes some sort of action when performing
diagnostic functions, often in response to a failed pas-
sive test. For example, the Electric Exhaust Gas Recir-
culation (EEGR) diagnostic active test will force the
EEGR valve open during closed throttle deceleration
and/or force the EEGR valve closed during a steady
state. Either action should result in a change in manifold
pressure.

Intrusive Diagnostic Tests

This is any Euro On-Board test run by the Diagnostic
Management System which may have an effect on ve-
hicle performance or emission levels.

Warm-Up Cycle

A warm-up cycle means that engine at temperature
must reach a minimum of 70

C (160

F) and rise at least

C (40

F) over the course of a trip.

Freeze Frame

Freeze Frame is an element of the Diagnostic Manage-
ment System which stores various vehicle information at
the moment an emissions-related fault is stored in
memory and when the MIL is commanded on. These
data can help to identify the cause of a fault.

Failure Records

Failure Records data is an enhancement of the EOBD
Freeze Frame feature. Failure Records store the same
vehicle information as does Freeze Frame, but it will
store that information for any fault which is stored in
Euro On-Board memory, while Freeze Frame stores in-
formation only for emission-related faults that command
the MIL on.

COMMON EOBD TERMS

Diagnostic

When used as a noun, the word diagnostic refers to any
Euro On-Board test run by the vehicle’s Diagnostic Man-
agement System. A diagnostic is simply a test run on a
system or component to determine if the system or com-
ponent is operating according to specification. There are
many diagnostics, shown in the following list:

Misfire.

Oxygen sensors (O2S)

Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S)

Electric Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EEGR)

Catalyst monitoring

Enable Criteria

The term “enable criteria” is engineering language for
the conditions necessary for a given diagnostic test to
run. Each diagnostic has a specific list of conditions
which must be met before the diagnostic will run.

“Enable criteria” is another way of saying “conditions re-
quired.”

1F – 12 ENGINE CONTROLS

The enable criteria for each diagnostic is listed on the
first page of the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) descrip-
tion under the heading “Conditions for Setting the DTC.”
Enable criteria varies with each diagnostic and typically
includes, but is not limited to the following items:

Engine speed.

Vehicle speed

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)

Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)

Barometric Pressure (BARO)

Intake Air Temperature (IAT)

Throttle Position (TP)

High canister purge

Fuel trim

A/C on

Trip

Technically, a trip is a key-on run key-off cycle in which
all the enable criteria for a given diagnostic are met, al-
lowing the diagnostic to run. Unfortunately, this concept
is not quite that simple. A trip is official when all the en-
able criteria for a given diagnostic are met. But because
the enable criteria vary from one diagnostic to another,
the definition of trip varies as well. Some diagnostics are
run when the vehicle is at operating temperature, some
when the vehicle first starts up; some require that the
vehicle cruise at a steady highway speed, some run only
when the vehicle is at idle. Some run only immediately
following a cold engine start-up.

A trip then, is defined as a key-on run-key off cycle in
which the vehicle is operated in such a way as to satisfy
the enable criteria for a given diagnostic, and this diag-
nostic will consider this cycle to be one trip. However,
another diagnostic with a different set of enable criteria
(which were not met) during this driving event, would not
consider it a trip. No trip will occur for that particular
diagnostic until the vehicle is driven in such a way as to
meet all the enable criteria.

Diagnostic Information

The diagnostic charts and functional checks are de-
signed to locate a faulty circuit or component through a
process of logical decisions. The charts are prepared
with the requirement that the vehicle functioned correct-
ly at the time of assembly and that there are not multiple
faults present.

There is a continuous self-diagnosis on certain control
functions. This diagnostic capability is complimented by
the diagnostic procedures contained in this manual. The
language of communicating the source of the malfunc-
tion is a system of diagnostic trouble codes. When a
malfunction is detected by the control module, a DTC is
set, and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is illumi-
nated.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)

The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is required by
Euro On-Board Diagnostics (EOBD) to illuminate under
a strict set of guidelines.

Basically, the MIL is turned on when the Engine Control
Module (ECM) detects a DTC that will impact the vehicle
emissions.

The MIL is under the control of the Diagnostic Execu-
tive. The MIL will be turned on if an emissions-related
diagnostic test indicates a malfunction has occurred. It
will stay on until the system or component passes the
same test for three consecutive trips with no emissions
related faults.

Extinguishing the MIL

When the MIL is on, the Diagnostic Executive will turn
off the MIL after three consecutive trips that a “test
passed” has been reported for the diagnostic test that
originally caused the MIL to illuminate. Although the MIL
has been turned off, the DTC will remain in the ECM
memory (both Freeze Frame and Failure Records) until
forty (40) warm-up cycles after no faults have been com-
pleted.

If the MIL was set by either a fuel trim or misfire-related
DTC, additional requirements must be met. In addition
to the requirements stated in the previous paragraph,
these requirements are as follows:

The diagnostic tests that are passed must occur with
375 rpm of the rpm data stored at the time the last
test failed.

Plus or minus ten percent of the engine load that was
stored at the time the last test failed. Similar engine
temperature conditions (warmed up or warming up)
as those stored at the time the last test failed.

Meeting these requirements ensures that the fault which
turned on the MIL has been corrected.

The MIL is on the instrument panel and has the following
functions:

It informs the driver that a fault affecting the vehicle’s
emission levels has occurred and that the vehicle
should be taken for service as soon as possible.

As a system check, the MIL will come on with the key
ON and the engine not running. When the engine is
started, the MIL will turn OFF.

When the MIL remains ON while the engine is run-
ning, or when a malfunction is suspected due to a
driveability or emissions problem, an EOBD System
Check must be performed. The procedures for these
checks are given in EOBD System Check. These
checks will expose faults which may not be detected
if other diagnostics are performed first.

ENGINE CONTROLS 1F – 13

Data Link Connector (DLC)

The provision for communicating with the control mod-
ule is the Data Link Connector (DLC). The DLC is used
to connect to a scan tool. Some common uses of the
scan tool are listed below:

Identifying stored DTCs.

Clearing DTCs.

Performing output control tests.

Reading serial data.

DTC TYPES

Each Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is directly related
to a diagnostic test. The Diagnostic Management Sys-
tem sets DTCs based on the failure of the tests during a
trip or trips. Certain tests must fail two consecutive trips
before the DTC is set. The following are the three types
of DTCs and the characteristics of those codes:

Type A

Emissions related.

Requests illumination of the Malfunction Indicator.
Lamp (MIL) of the first trip with a fail.

Stores a History DTC on the first trip with a fail.

Stores a Freeze Frame (if empty).

Stores a Fail Record.

Updates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic test
fails.

Type B

Emissions related.

“Armed” after one trip with a fail.

“Disarmed” after one trip with a pass.

Requests illumination of the MIL on the second con-
secutive trip with a fail.

Stores a History DTC on the second consecutive trip
with a fail (The DTC will be armed after the first fail).

Stores a Freeze Frame on the second consecutive
trip with a fail (if empty).

Type Cnl

Non-Emissions related.

Does not request illumination of any lamp.

Stores a History DTC on the first trip with a fail .

Does not store a Freeze Frame.

Stores Fail Record when test fails.

Updates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic test
fails.

Type E

Emissions related.

“Armed” after two consecutive trip with a fail.

“Disarmed” after one trip with a pass.

Requests illumination of the MIL on the third consec-
utive trip with a fail.

Stores a History DTC on the third consecutive trip
with a fail (The DTC will be armed after the second
fail).

Stores a Freeze Frame on the third consecutive trip
with a fail (if empty).

Important: For 0.8 SOHC engine eight fail records can
be stored. Each Fail Record is for a different DTC. It is
possible that there will not be Fail Records for every
DTC if multiple DTCs are set.

Special Cases of Type B Diagnostic Tests

Unique to the misfire diagnostic, the Diagnostic Execu-
tive has the capability of alerting the vehicle operator to
potentially damaging levels of misfire. If a misfire condi-
tion exists that could potentially damage the catalytic
converter as a result of high misfire levels, the Diagnos-
tic Executive will command the MIL to “flash” as a rate of
once per seconds during those the time that the catalyst
damaging misfire condition is present.

Fuel trim and misfire are special cases of Type B diag-
nostics. Each time a fuel trim or misfire malfunction is
detected, engine load, engine speed, and Engine Cool-
ant Temperature (ECT) are recorded.

When the ignition is turned OFF, the last reported set of
conditions remain stored. During subsequent ignition
cycles, the stored conditions are used as a reference for
similar conditions. If a malfunction occurs during two
consecutive trips, the Diagnostic Executive treats the
failure as a normal Type B diagnostic, and does not use
the stored conditions. However, if a malfunction occurs
on two non-consecutive trips, the stored conditions are
compared with the current conditions. The MIL will then
illuminate under the following conditions:

When the engine load conditions are within 10% of
the previous test that failed.

Engine speed is within 375 rpm, of the previous test
that failed.

ECT is in the same range as the previous test that
failed.

READING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE
CODES

The procedure for reading Diagnostic Trouble Code(s)
(DTC) is to use a diagnostic scan tool. When reading
DTC(s), follow instructions supplied by tool manufactur-
er.

Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes

Important: Do not clear DTCs unless directed to do so
by the service information provided for each diagnostic
procedure. When DTCs are cleared, the Freeze Frame
and Failure Record data which may help diagnose an in-
