OPERATION The power steering pressure switch provides an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). This When steering pump pressure exceeds 3275 kPa 6 690 kPa (475 psi 6 100 psi), the normally closed switch will open and the PCM will increase the When pump pressure drops to approximately 1379 kPa (200 psi), the switch circuit will re-close and SENSOR RETURN—PCM INPUT OPERATION The Sensor Return circuits are internal to the Pow- ertrain Control Module (PCM). Sensor Return provides a low–noise ground refer- ence for all engine control system sensors. Refer to SIGNAL GROUND—PCM INPUT OPERATION Signal ground provides a low noise ground to the data link connector. THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS)—PCM DESCRIPTION The 3–wire Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is mounted on the throttle body and is connected to the OPERATION The TPS is a 3–wire variable resistor that provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with an input The PCM supplies approximately 5 volts to the TPS. The TPS output voltage (input signal to the sensors, the PCM uses the TPS input to determine The PCM needs to identify the actions and position of the throttle blade at all times. This information is • Ignition timing advance • Fuel injection pulse-width • Idle (learned value or minimum TPS) • Off-idle (0.06 volt) • Wide Open Throttle (WOT) open loop (2.608 volts above learned idle voltage) • Deceleration fuel lean out • Fuel cutoff during cranking at WOT (2.608 volts above learned idle voltage) • A/C WOT cutoff (certain automatic transmis- sions only) VEHICLE SPEED AND DISTANCE—PCM INPUT OPERATION Vehicle speed and distance covered are measured by the Rear Wheel Speed Sensor. The sensor is Refer to Odometer and Trip Odometer in Group 8E, Instrument Panel for additional information. AUTO SHUTDOWN (ASD) RELAY—PCM DESCRIPTION The 5–pin, 12–volt, Automatic Shutdown (ASD) relay is located in the Power Distribution Center OPERATION The ASD relay supplies battery voltage (12+ volts) to the fuel injectors and ignition coil(s). With certain The ground circuit for the coil within the ASD relay is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module The ASD relay will be shut–down, meaning the 12–volt power supply to the ASD relay will be de-ac- 14 - 36 FUEL SYSTEM DN DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued) |
