TROUBLE CODE-TO-TEST MENU
OPERATION
Fuel flow operation from the Single-Point injection system is controlled by SMEC. SMEC receives inputs from various sensors in order to correctly regulate fuel flow at the injector. These include the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor, Throttle Position Sensor (TPS), Oxygen (O2) sensor, coolant temperature sensor, throttle body temperature sensor and vehicle distance sensor. All inputs are converted into signals that are used to adjust air/fuel mixture and/or ignition timing.
A/C CUT-OUT RELAY
The A/C cut-out relay is connected in series with the A/C damped pressure switch, A/C switch and A/C fan relay. The relay remains in the energized ("ON") position during engine operation. When SMEC senses low idle speeds or wide open throttle position (through TPS), it de-energizes the relay and causes the compressor clutch to disengage.
AUTOMATIC IDLE SPEED (AIS) MOTOR
The AIS motor is operated by the Single Module Engine Controller (SMEC). The SMEC uses input information from the various sensors to determine idle speed. The AIS motor meters a portion of the air/fuel mixture through an air by-pass in the throttle body. An increase or decrease in the amount of air/fuel mixture through the air by-pass is used to control idle speed.
AUTO SHUTDOWN (ASD) RELAY
The ASD interrupts power to the electric fuel pump, fuel injectors and ignition coil, when the ignition switch is in "RUN" position and no distributor signal is present.
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT
The check engine light illuminates each time the ignition is turned on, and stays on for 3 seconds as a bulb test. If SMEC receives an incorrect signal or no signal from certain sensors, the check engine light will be illuminated. This an indication that the SMEC has entered into an limp-in mode. This limp-in mode is an attempt to keep the system operating despite system fault.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The coolant temperature sensor monitors engine operating temperature. The sensor is mounted in the thermostat housing. The coolant sensor provides data to SMEC on the engine operating temperature. SMEC uses this information to assist in determining proper air/fuel mixture at various temperatures. The sensor is also used to operate the electric cooling fan.
FUEL INJECTOR
The fuel injector is an electrically actuated solenoid that is driven or energized by SMEC. Fuel delivery is controlled by the length of time that the injector is energized. SMEC uses input signals from the various sensors to determine how long to energize the injector. Fuel is supplied to the injector at a constant pressure of 14.5 psi (1.02 kg/cm 2 ).
FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR
The fuel pressure regulator is a mechanical device that maintains a constant pressure of 14.5 psi (1.02 kg/cm 2 ) across the injector tip. When fuel pressure reaches the given amount, fuel is allowed to enter the return port and is returned to the fuel tank. The internal diaphragm and spring constantly move from an open to closed position in order keep fuel pressure constant.
HEATED OXYGEN (O2) SENSOR
The O2 sensor produces an electrical voltage in response to the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gases. The O2 sensor is mounted in the exhaust manifold and is electrically heated internally for faster switching from open loop to closed loop operation. By monitoring the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gases, the O2 sensor acts as an rich/lean switch. This is accomplished through SMEC, which reads the voltage signal from the O2 sensor and adjusts injector pulse width (on time) to maintain proper air/fuel ratio.
MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP)
The MAP sensor is a device that monitors manifold vacuum. The MAP sensor is connected to a vacuum nipple on the throttle body and electrically sends signals to SMEC. SMEC uses this data to determine engine load. This information is used with other data to determine the proper air/fuel mixture.
PURGE SOLENOID
The purge solenoid is controlled by SMEC. When engine operating temperature is below 45°F (61°C), SMEC grounds the purge solenoid thereby energizing the component. This prevents vacuum from reaching the charcoal canister valve. When temperature reaches or exceeds the given value, the purge solenoid is de-energized and vacuum is allowed to flow to charcoal canister valve. Normal purging of fuel vapors to throttle body is then allowed to continue.
SINGLE MODULE ENGINE CONTROLLER (SMEC)
The SMEC is a digital computer containing a microprocessor. The module receives input signals from various switches and sensors. After computing input data, SMEC sends output signals to the fuel injectors, distributor, ignition coil, AIS motor, purge solenoid, alternator and cooling fan switch.
The SMEC contains the circuits necessary to drive the ignition coil, fuel injector and alternator field. These are high current devices and have been isolated to minimize electrical noise in the passenger compartment. Distributor pick-up signal goes to the SMEC. If no distributor signal is given to SMEC, power is shut off from the fuel injector, fuel pump and ignition coil.
The SMEC also performs self diagnostic functions. This diagnostic information is stored as trouble codes. Trouble codes can be read by an technician by means of an diagnostic readout tool, or by means of the instrument panel check engine light.
SWITCH INPUT
Various switches provide information to SMEC. These include the neutral safety switch, A/C clutch switch, speed control switch and brake light switch. If one or more of these switches is sensed as being in the "ON" position, SMEC will signal the AIS motor to regulate idle speed at a scheduled RPM.
THROTTLE BODY
The throttle body assembly is mounted on the intake manifold and houses the fuel injector, fuel pressure regulator, TPS, AIS motor and throttle body temperature sensor. The throttle body meters air/fuel mixture delivery to intake ports. The throttle body also serves as a chamber for atomization of incoming air and fuel.
THROTTLE BODY TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The throttle body temperature sensor is used to determine fuel temperature. This sensor inputs necessary information needed by SMEC to provide proper air/fuel mixture during hot restart conditions.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS)
The TPS is mounted on the throttle body and senses the angle of the throttle body valve (butterfly). This information is used by the SMEC in determining the proper air/fuel mixture during varying driving conditions such as acceleration, deceleration, idle and wide open throttle.
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
Most driveability problems in the engine control system result from faulty or poor wiring, or loose and/or leaking hose connections. To avoid unnecessary component testing, a visual check should be performed before beginning troubleshooting procedures to help spot these common faults. A preliminary visual check should include the following
- Verify that battery terminals are clean and that battery is fully charged.
- Verify that vacuum connections on rear of throttle body are secure and not leaking.
- Check that all vacuum connections to purge solenoid are secure and not leaking.
- Check hoses to vapor canister.
- Verify that PCV valve is securely attached to intake manifold vacuum port and orifice plug is in valve cover nipple.
- Check that alternator wiring and belt are secure.
- Check vacuum line to MAP sensor.
- Check fuel lines to fuel pump. Verify that wiring is secure and not damaged.
- Verify that heated air door vacuum connections are secure and not leaking.
- Check hoses to back pressure transducer.
- Check power brake and speed control vacuum hoses.
- Verify that all connectors to SMEC are fully inserted into sockets. Check all other connectors to various sensors and switches.
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
All 1987 Caravan and Voyager vans equipped with 2.5L engines and electronic fuel injection have an On-Board diagnostic system. This system allows faster diagnostic times in determining where the problem is. The engine control module monitors critical input and output circuits that are related to engine functions. If the on-board diagnostic system senses that one of the circuits is bad during a predetermined amount of time, the monitoring cycle will consider this a real problem and set a fault code.
ENTERING ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS
- Connect diagnostic tool to mating connector located in wiring harness by left front shock tower.
- Place read/hold switch on readout box in "READ" position. Turn ignition on, off, on, off, on within 5 seconds.
- Record all codes displayed. It is possible to stop displaying codes by moving read/hold switch to "HOLD" position. Returning to "READ" position will continue displaying codes.
FAULT CODES
Fault codes (or trouble codes) are 2 digit numbers that identify which circuit is bad. In most cases the fault codes do not identify which component is bad. Therefore, a fault code is only the result, not the reason for the problem. There are some cases in which the fault code is the reason for the problem. It is important that the test procedure be followed in order to fully understand the possible cause of the fault code.

FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE
Note. The fuel system is under constant pressure. Before servicing fuel system ensure that pressure is released.
Removal & Installation
- Loosen gasoline cap in order to release tank pressure. Remove wiring harness connector from injector.
- Ground one terminal of injector. Connect a jumper wire to second terminal and energize injector by touching other end of jumper to battery positive terminal. This will release system pressure. NOTE: DO NOT energize injector longer than 10 seconds or damage may result to fuel injector.
- Remove jumper wires and proceed with fuel system service.
Removal
- Remove air cleaner and perform fuel system pressure release. Disconnect negative battery cable. Disconnect all vacuum hoses and electrical connectors.
- Remove the throttle cable. Remove the speed control cable and transmission kickdown cable (if equipped). Remove return spring and fuel lines. Remove throttle body mounting screws. Remove the throttle body.
Note. Never use silicone lubricants on "O" rings or seals, as damage may result.
Installation
Using a new gasket, mount throttle body to intake manifold. Reverse removal procedure to complete installation.
- Remove air cleaner and perform fuel system pressure release. Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove 3 screws attaching pressure regulator to throttle body. CAUTION: Place a shop towel around fuel inlet chamber to contain any fuel remaining in the system.
- Pull pressure regulator from throttle body. Carefully remove "O" ring from pressure regulator and remove old gasket.
Install new gasket and "O" ring. Reverse removal procedure and check regulator for leaks to complete installation.
- Remove air cleaner assembly and perform fuel system pressure release. Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove pressure regulator.
- Remove screw holding down injector cap. Using 2 small screwdrivers, lift cap off injector using slots provided. Place a small screwdriver in hole in front of electrical connector.
- Gently pry injector from pod. Ensure that injector lower "O" ring has been removed from pod.
Install new "O" ring on injector. The new injector should already have new "O" ring installed. Apply a light coating of caster oil or petroleum jelly on "O" rings. Reverse removal procedure to complete installation.
Note. Ensure that injector and cap are keyed in the proper position.
Disconnect negative battery cable and remove air cleaner. Disconnect 3-way connector at TPS. Remove 2 screws attaching TPS to throttle body. Pull TPS off throttle shaft.
