DIAGNOSTIC FORMATS

There are 2 diagnostic formats used to test and service the EEC-IV system: QUICK TEST and CIRCUIT TESTS. QUICK TEST allows the technician to identify problems, and retrieve and record service codes. CIRCUIT TESTS check circuits, sensors and actuators.

If vehicle passes QUICK TEST, and there are no driveability symptoms or intermittent faults, the EEC-IV system is okay. Problem exists elsewhere.

Before starting any CIRCUIT TEST, follow all steps under QUICK TEST to find the correct CIRCUIT TEST.

KOEO & KOER SELF-TEST CODES

All service codes are 2 or 3-digit numbers. Codes are outputted, one digit at a time, by ECA. See appropriate chart under CODE-TO-TEST MENU(S) for definitions of codes. These codes indicate current faults in the system, and should be serviced in the order of appearance. Use appropriate chart under CODE-TO-TEST MENU(S) to find the correct CIRCUIT TEST. Codes are shown as voltage pulses (needle sweeps) on an analog Volt/Ohmmeter (VOM). see scheme 1

If using VOM, pay careful attention to the length of pauses in order to read codes correctly. There is a 1/2-second pause between number of sweeps in a digit, and a 2-second pause between the digits in a code. There is a 4-second pause between each code. KOEO codes are separated from Continuous Memory codes by a 6-second delay, a single 1/2-second sweep (Separator) and another 6-second delay. Record codes in the order received.

If using "Scan" Tool, it will count the pulses and display them as a digital code. The STAR Series Tester will add a zero (0) to single-digit Separator Code (10) and Dynamic Response Code (10). The Dynamic Response Code is displayed in KOER SELF-TEST. see scheme 1 If using "CHECK ENGINE" light, service codes are displayed as flashes.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS

After all tests, servicing or repairs have been completed, repeat QUICK TEST procedure to ensure all EEC-IV systems work properly and service codes are no longer present.

KOEO SELF-TEST

Start engine and allow to idle until vehicle reaches operating temperature. If engine does not start or stalls after starting, continue KOEO SELF-TEST. DO NOT depress throttle on gasoline-engine vehicles. Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Activate self-test procedure by using a jumper wire or appropriate test equipment. Turn ignition on, leaving engine off. Record all KOEO and Continuous Memory Codes.

If a Code 11 or 111 (pass code) is not received in the KOEO portion of test, service the KOEO codes. See appropriate chart under CODE-TO-TEST MENU(S). If the ECA will not output codes, go to TEST QA, step 1). If codes are received, check the following procedures

  1. If "CHECK ENGINE" or "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" light is on when vehicle arrived for service, use recorded Continuous Memory Codes and appropriate chart under CODE-TO-TEST MENU(S) before addressing any other symptoms.
  2. If engine runs or idles rough, go to TEST S step 2). On vehicles with DIS or EDIS, use recorded Continuous Memory Codes and appropriate chart under CODE-TO-TEST MENU(S).
  3. Perform only the following. If Continuous Memory Codes 45, 46, 48, 215, 216, 217, 232 or 238 are received during KOEO SELF-TEST, see appropriate system test in the SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS article. If Codes 45, 46, 48, 215, 216, 217, 232 or 238 were not received, go to TEST S, step 2).
  4. On all vehicles, except vehicles with EDIS, if vehicle has a no-start condition, go to TEST A, step 1). On vehicles with EDIS, go to TEST AA, step 1).
  5. If vehicle displays a Code 11 or 111 (pass code) and does not have any of the symptoms described in previous steps, go to COMPUTED TIMING CHECK.

DO NOT enter this test sequence until a Code 11 or 111 (pass code) has been received in KOEO SELF-TEST. If system has not passed KOEO SELF-TEST, code recorded in KOER SELF-TEST may not be valid.

Deactivate self-test by removing and reconnecting jumper wire, or by procedure specified by test equipment in use. Start and run engine for 2 minutes at 2000 RPM to warm-up Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen (HEGO) sensor. Turn engine off and wait 10 seconds. Activate KOER SELF-TEST using a jumper wire or appropriate procedure for test equipment used. Start engine. Record all service codes displayed. Check the following items

  1. If engine starts and stalls, or stalls during self-test, go to TEST S, step 1).
  2. If vehicle is equipped with a Brake On/Off (BOO) switch, brake pedal MUST be depressed and released AFTER the ID code portion of test.
  3. On vehicles with Power Steering Pressure Switch (PSPS), turn steering wheel at least 1/2 turn and release within 1-2 seconds after the ID code portion of test.
  4. On vehicles with E4OD transmissions, the Overdrive Cancel Switch (OCS) MUST be cycled after the ID code portion of the test.
  5. When the Dynamic Response Code appears, perform a brief Wide Open Throttle (WOT). DO NOT perform WOT unless requested.
  6. If Code 98 or 998 is displayed, it indicates EEC-IV system is operating in Failure Management Effects Mode (FMEM) and vehicle has not passed KOEO SELF-TEST. Vehicle cannot be diagnosed while in FMEM mode. See Code 98 or 998 in appropriate CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODE chart under CODE-TO-TEST MENU(S).
  7. If a Code 11 or 111 (pass code) is received during KOER SELF-TEST, service Continuous Memory Codes received in KOEO SELF-TEST. See appropriate CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODE chart under CODE-TO-TEST MENU(S) in this article.
  8. If a Code 11 or 111 (pass code) is received during the Continuous Memory Code portion of KOEO SELF-TEST (Code 11-1-11) or (11-1-111), and no driveability problem exists, EEC-IV testing is complete. If driveability problems are still present, go to TESTS W/O CODES article in this section.
  9. If KOER codes are present, refer to appropriate KOER SELF-TEST CODES chart under CODE-TO-TEST MENU(S). If system will not output codes, go to TEST QA, step 1).

CONTINUOUS MONITOR MODE (WIGGLE TEST)

The Continuous Monitor Mode allows technician to attempt a recreation of intermittent fault while monitoring the system. This mode, also called the wiggle test, may be used in both KOEO SELF-TEST and KOER SELF-TEST. CIRCUIT TESTS specify the use of this procedure to identify intermittent faults in specific circuits or components.

KOEO Wiggle Test Procedure

Connect test equipment. see scheme 2 Turn ignition on and activate self-test with jumper lead or diagnostic tester. Wait 10 seconds, deactivate, and then reactivate self-test. Wiggle test mode is now activated. Tap, move and wiggle the suspected sensor and/or harness area. If a fault is detected, a service code may be stored in memory and indicated at the diagnostic tester or "Scan" tool. Record or retrieve code and perform test indicated by appropriate CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODES chart under CODE-TO-TEST MENU(S).

KOER Wiggle Test Procedure

Connect test equipment. see scheme 2 Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Start engine. Activate self-test with jumper lead or diagnostic tester. Wait 10 seconds, deactivate, and then reactivate self-test. DO NOT turn engine off. KOER wiggle test mode is now activated. Tap, move and wiggle the suspected sensor and/or harness area. If a fault is detected, a service code may be stored in memory and indicated at the diagnostic tester or "Scan" tool. Record or retrieve code and perform test indicated in appropriate CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODES chart under CODE-TO-TEST MENU(S).

INTERMITTENT & DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOMS

See the TESTS W/O CODES article in this section.

Cylinder Balance Test

This test helps identify a weak or noncontributing cylinder in engines with sequential PFI fuel systems. The ECA shuts off fuel supply to each injector and measures RPM drop. It computes the variation between cylinders and identifies the weak ones. This test mode is entered from the KOER SELF-TEST, after all codes have been displayed. Within 2 minutes after codes have been displayed, lightly depress throttle (a 2-3 degree throttle angle is required, NOT a wide open throttle). After a brief stabilizing period, ECA will activate the test procedure. The test will be repeated if the throttle is depressed within 2 minutes of the final code output. During the 2nd and 3rd test sequence, the percentage of allowable variation between cylinders is reduced. Service codes displayed during this test identify the weak or non-contributing cylinder. See CYLINDER BALANCE TEST SERVICE CODES table to identify the cylinder number corresponding to the service code displayed. If Code 90 is displayed during this test, it indicates a passing result. If Code 77 is displayed, repeat cylinder balance test. If throttle is moved during this test, Code 77 will appear, indicating that test is not completed. Total test time is about 3 minutes.

CONTINUOUS MEMORY - CIRCUIT TEST & STEP MENU

Fuel-contaminated engine oil may affect some codes. If this is suspected, remove PCV valve from valve cover and repeat QUICK TEST. If problem is corrected, change engine oil and filter.

On CIRCUIT TEST H and CIRCUIT TEST J (Fuel Control), vacuum leaks in non-EEC related areas may also cause Code 41 or 91 to be displayed. Check the following: unmetered air leaks between airflow meter and throttle body, vacuum motors, engine seals, EGR system, PCV system, Canister Purge (CANP) and HEGO sensor. Code 42 or 92 may be caused by fuel-contaminated engine oil, ignition misfire, EGR system or CANP problems.

7) Check PIP Circuit For Shorts to Ground Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. With breakout box installed, reconnect ECA. Disconnect EDIS module. Set DVOM on 200-k/ohm scale. Measure resistance between test pin No. 56 (PIP) and test pins No. 16, 40, 46 and 60 for short to ground. If any reading is less than 10 k/ohms, repair short in harness and repeat QUICK TEST. If engine still does not start, go to next step. If all readings are 10 k/ohms or more, go to next step.

8) Isolate Shorts In ECA Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. With breakout box installed, connect ECA to breakout box. Disconnect EDIS module. Set DVOM on 200-k/ohm scale. Measure resistance between test pin No. 56 (PIP) and test pins No. 37 and 57 for short to power. Measure resistance between test pin No. 56 and test pins No. 40 and 60 for short to ground. If all readings are less than 20 k/ohms or greater than 150 k/ohms, problem is in EDIS system. Replace ECA and repeat QUICK TEST. If any reading is 20-150 k/ohms go to next step.

9) Check PIP Signal Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. With breakout box installed, disconnect ECA. Reconnect EDIS module. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale. Measure voltage between test pin No. 56 and test pin No. 16 at breakout box. Crank engine and record reading. If voltage is less than 3 volts or greater than 7 volts, remove breakout box and rerun QUICK TEST. If voltage is 3-7 volts, replace EDIS module and go to next step.

10) Fuel Pump Check Connect pressure gauge to vehicle. Note initial pressure reading. Pressurize fuel system by turning ignition on for one second and observe pressure gauge. Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Repeat sequence 5 times. If pressure increases, go to TEST S, step 1). If pressure does not increase, check fuel pump and system for mechanical problems.

5) Check KAPWR Circuit Voltage At EEC Power Relay Turn ignition on, leaving engine off. With ECA connected, set DVOM on 20-volt scale. Measure voltage between battery negative post and KAPWR circuit at EEC power relay harness connector. If reading is less than 10.5 volts, check KAPWR circuit from EEC power relay to battery positive post for open circuit. If reading is 10.5 volts or more, go to next step.

6) Check Ignition Circuit Voltage At EEC Power Relay Turn ignition on, leaving engine off. Ensure ECA is connected. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale. Measure voltage between battery negative post and IGNITION circuit at EEC power relay vehicle harness connector. If reading is less than 10.5 volts, check for open in ignition switch circuits. Repair wiring and repeat QUICK TEST. If reading is 10.5 volts or more, go to next step.

7) Check PWR GND Circuit Continuity Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. With ECA connected and DVOM on 200-ohm scale, measure resistance between battery negative post and PWR GND circuit at EEC power relay vehicle harness connector. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair wiring in ground circuit. Repeat QUICK TEST. If reading is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.

8) Check VPWR Circuit At EEC Power Relay Turn ignition on, leaving engine off. With ECA connected and DVOM on 20-volt scale, measure voltage between battery negative post and VPWR circuit at EEC power relay vehicle harness connector. If reading is 10.5 volts or more, repair open or short to ground in VPWR circuit between ECA and EEC power relay. Reconnect components and repeat QUICK TEST. If reading is less than 10.5 volts, replace EEC power relay. Repeat QUICK TEST.

Install breakout box and connect ECA to breakout box. Set DVOM to 20-volt scale. See TEST DF for schematic. Connect DVOM to test pins No. 25 and 46. Start engine and let idle. Observe voltage as engine warms up. If voltage does not decrease smoothly and stabilize after engine reaches operating conditions, replace ACT sensor; remove breakout box and rerun QUICK TEST. If voltage decreases smoothly and stabilizes when engine reaches operating conditions, system is operating properly at this time. Reconnect all components and rerun QUICK TEST.

5) Visual Inspection Of MAF Sensor Code 184 indicates MAF sensor value is higher than expected. Code 185 indicates MAF sensor value is lower than expected. Turn ignition off. Check for air leaks between ISC solenoid and MAF sensor. Inspect MAF sensor for oil contamination caused by excessive blow-by or malfunctioning PCV. If problems are found, repair as necessary; clear codes and rerun QUICK TEST. If all checks are okay, go to step 8).

6) Check MAF Sensor Turn ignition off. Disconnect ECA 60-pin connector. Inspect connector for damaged pins, corrosion, or loose wires. Install breakout box and connect ECA. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale. Start engine and allow to idle until engine reaches normal operating temperature. Measure voltage between MAF signal and test pin 40/60 of breakout box.

If voltage is within acceptable range, system is operating normally at this time. See INTERMITTENTS in the TESTS W/O CODES article in this section. If voltage is not within acceptable range, replace MAF sensor. See MAF SENSOR DATA table for specification. Reconnect all components and rerun QUICK TEST.

Inspect air cleaner and air inlet duct; replace or repair an necessary. Check for unmetered air between MAF sensor and ISC bypass solenoid. Check all engine vacuum hoses for damage, leaks, blockage and proper routing. Make necessary repairs and rerun QUICK TEST. If all items are okay, go to next step.

8) Check Fuel Pressure Turn ignition off. Install fuel pressure gauge. Ensure fuel pressure regulator is connected to manifold vacuum (if applicable). Start engine and run at idle. If fuel pressure is within specifications, go to next step. For fuel pressure specifications, see FUEL PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS article. If fuel pressure is not within specifications, repair fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator as necessary.

9) Check Systems Ability To Hold Fuel Pressure Turn ignition on, leaving engine off. If fuel pressure remains at specification for 60 seconds, go to next step (for SEFI), or go to TEST H, step 7) (for EFI). If fuel pressure does not remain at specification, repair fuel delivery system as necessary.

10) Cylinder Balance Test Run KOER SELF-TEST. After last repeated code, wait 5-10 seconds then "goose" throttle lightly (not wide-open throttle). This will activate cylinder balance test. If code 90 is present after test, go back to step 5). If code 90 is not present after test, go to TEST H, step 4).

1) Check For Contaminated Engine Oil Turn ignition off. Remove PCV valve from valve cover. Inspect valve cover hole and PCV for damage, sludge build up, blockage and movement of valve plunger. Repair as necessary. Perform KOER SELF-TEST. If vehicle is a no start, KOER codes 41/172, 91/136, 42/173 or 92/137, or Continuous Memory Codes 176, 177, 144/41, 91/139, 171, 175, 174 or 178 are set, reinstall PCV valve and go to next step. If no code is set, change engine oil and filter; reinstall PCV valve. Drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH. Rerun QUICK TEST.

2) Check Fuel Pressure Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Install fuel pressure gauge. Ensure manifold vacuum supply is connected to fuel pressure regulator (if equipped). Run engine at idle and check fuel pressure. If vehicle will not start, cycle ignition on and off several times. For fuel pressure specifications, see FUEL PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS article.If vehicle is a no start, cycle ignition on and off several times. If fuel pressure is within specification, go to next step. If pressure is not to specification, remove fuel pressure gauge. Repair electric fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator.

3) Check Systems Ability To Hold Fuel Pressure Turn ignition on, leaving engine off. If fuel pressure remains at specification for 60 seconds, go to next step (for no starts), go to step 5) (for EFI), or go to step 6) (for SEFI). If fuel pressure is not as described, repair fuel delivery system as necessary.

4) Fuel Delivery Test Ensure fuel is of good quality. With ignition off, install fuel pressure gauge and pressurize fuel system as in step 1). Disconnect inertia switch. Crank engine for 5 seconds. If fuel pressure drop is greater than 5 psi after 5 seconds of cranking, EEC-IV system is not the cause of no-start condition. Check additional no-start tests in the TESTS W/O CODES article in this section. If fuel pressure drop is less than 5 psi, remove fuel pressure gauge and reconnect inertia switch; go to step 7) (for EFI), or step 8) (for SEFI).

5) Cylinder Balance Test: EFI Engines Connect a tachometer to engine. Start engine and run at idle. Disconnect and reconnect injectors one at a time, noting RPM drop as each injector is disconnected. Note that ISC motor will attempt to re-establish RPM. If each injector does not produce a momentary drop in RPM, go to step 7). If each injector produces a momentary drop in RPM, go to step 13) (for symptoms or codes 41/172, 91/136 or 176), step 24) (for codes 42/173, 92/137 or 177), or step 14) (for all others).

6) Cylinder Balance Test: SEFI Engines ONLY Perform KOER SELF-TEST. After last code is displayed, wait 5-10 seconds. Enter CYLINDER BALANCE TEST by briefly opening throttle for one second (not WOT). Test time is approximately 2-3 minutes. A Code 77/538 indicates throttle is touched when the test is ran, and that test is not completed. To interpret codes received from test, refer to CYLINDER BALANCE TEST SERVICE CODES table. If a Cylinder Balance Test Code is displayed, go to step 8). If a Cylinder Balance Test Code is not displayed, fuel delivery is okay; fault is in an area common to all cylinders. For symptoms or code 41/172, 91/136 or 176, go to step 13). For code 42/173, 92/137 or 177, go to step 24). For all other codes, go to step 14.

Code 538 could also be outputted if Continuous Memory Code 214 (CID) is present. If Continuous Memory Code 214 is present, see appropriate chart under CODE-TO-TEST MENU(S) for instruction.

Refer to appropriate INJECTOR BANK RESISTANCE table in this circuit test. If each resistance is within specifications for appropriate engine, go to step 12). If resistance is not as specified, repair open circuit on VPWR circuit (for no start), or go to step 9 (for all other conditions).

8) Check Injector & Harness Resistance: SEFI Engines Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect ECA 60-pin connector. Inspect pins for damage. Install breakout box, leaving ECA disconnected. Set DVOM on 200-ohm scale. Measure and record resistance between suspected injector circuit test pin and test pin No. 37. For no starts, measure and record resistance between any injector circuit test pin and test pin No. 37. Refer to appropriate INJECTOR BANK RESISTANCE table in this circuit test. If each resistance is within specifications for appropriate engine, go to step 12). If resistance is not as specified, repair open circuit on VPWR circuit (for no start), or go to step 9 (for all other conditions).

9) Check Continuity Of Fuel Injector Harness Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Install breakout box, leaving ECA disconnected. Disconnect injector vehicle harness connector at injectors. Set DVOM to 200-ohm scale. Measure resistance between test pin No. 37/57 at breakout box and VPWR pin at each injector vehicle harness connector. See the TEST H - FUEL CONTROL SYSTEM SCHEMATIC figure near the beginning of this circuit test. Measure resistance between injector test pin(s) at breakout box and the same injector circuit signal pin at each injector vehicle harness connector. If each resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If each resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open circuit. Remove breakout box, reconnect all components and drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH. Rerun QUICK TEST.

See appropriate INDIVIDUAL INJECTOR RESISTANCE table for specifications. If all injectors are within specifications, go to step 12). If injectors are not as specified, remove breakout box. Reconnect ECA and injectors. Repair open or short in injector harness. If circuit is okay, replace injector. Drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH. Rerun QUICK TEST.

12) Check Injector Drive Signal With ignition off and breakout box installed, connect ECA to breakout box. Use a non-powered 12-volt test light and connect as follows

  1. EFI Engines - Connect test light between test pins No. 37 and 58 at breakout box. Connect light between test pins No. 37 and 59 at breakout box.
  2. Sequential PFI Engines (SEFI) - Connect test light between test pin No. 37 and the suspected injector(s) test pin at breakout box.

Crank or start engine. If test light glows dimly, system is operating properly. remove breakout box and reconnect ECA. Clean and test injectors. Drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH. Rerun QUICK TEST and CYLINDER BALANCE TEST.

If test light does not glow dimly (no light/bright light), check injector circuit for shorts to ground. If system is okay, remove breakout box and replace ECA. Remove breakout box and reconnect all components. Drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH. Rerun QUICK TEST.

13) Check Thermactor Operation If vehicle is equipped with Pulse-Air or does not have Thermactor System, ignore this step and go to next step. With dual HEGO, code 41/172 refers to right or rear HEGO, and code 91/136 or 176 refers to left or front HEGO. A HEGO that is always lean could be caused by Thermactor air being diverted upstream from HEGO sensor. Turn ignition off and wait 10 second. Disconnect Thermactor air hose(s) from Thermactor pump. Run KOER SELF-TEST. If codes 41/172, 91/136 or 176 are present, reconnect Thermactor air hose(s) and go to next step. If codes 41/172, 91/136 or 176 are not present, repair thermactor system as necessary.

14) Check HEGO Integrity A HEGO sensor that is always lean, slow to switch or does not switch could be caused by the following

  1. Moisture inside HEGO sensor, or harness connector causing a short to ground
  2. HEGO sensor coated with containments
  3. HEGO circuit open
  4. HEGO circuit shorted to ground

Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Inspect HEGO harness for chaffing, burns or other indications of damage; repair or replace as necessary. Inspect HEGO sensor and connector for signs of water entry; repair or replace as necessary. Start engine and run at 2000 RPM for 2 minutes. Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Run KOER SELF-TEST. If fault codes are present, go to next step (for MAP sensor-equipped vehicles), or step 16) (for MAF sensor-equipped vehicles). If no code is present, go to step 21).

15) Checking HEGO Sensor On Engines With MAP Sensors Turn ignition off and set DVOM on 20-volt scale. Disconnect appropriate HEGO sensor from vehicle harness. Connect DVOM to HEGO SIGNAL lead at sensor connector and battery negative terminal (3-wire HEGO). Connect DVOM to HEGO SIGNAL and HEGO GND leads at sensor connector (4-wire HEGO). Disconnect and plug vacuum line MAP sensor. Start engine and apply 10-14 in Hg to Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor. Run engine at 2000 RPM for 2 minutes. If reading is greater than 0.5 volt within 2 minutes, go to step 17). If reading is less than 0.5 volt within 2 minutes, replace HEGO sensor; reconnect MAP and rerun QUICK TEST.

Vacuum or air leaks in non-EEC-IV related areas may cause Code 41 or 91. Check the following areas: leaking vacuum actuator (A/C control motor, etc.) engine seals, EGR system, PCV system and lead contamination of HEGO sensor.

Scheme 61: Checking HEGO Sensor

16) Check HEGO Sensor On Engines With MAF Sensor The purpose of this test is to verify HEGO sensor can generate a voltage signal of greater than 0.5 volt during KOER SELF-TEST. With ignition off and DVOM set on 20-volt scale, disconnect appropriate HEGO sensor from harness. Depending on type of sensor (3 wires or 4 wires), connect DVOM as follows

  1. 4-Wire HEGO Sensors - Connect DVOM between HEGO SIGNAL and HEGO GND at HEGO sensor connector.
  2. 3-Wire HEGO Sensors - Connect DVOM to HEGO SIGNAL at sensor and battery negative terminal.

Rerun KOER SELF-TEST and monitor HEGO sensor voltage. If voltage is greater than 0.5 volt, go to next step. If voltage is less than 0.5 volt, replace HEGO sensor and rerun QUICK TEST.

Vacuum or air leaks in non-EEC-IV related areas may cause Code 41 or 91. Check the following areas: leaking vacuum actuator (A/C control motor, etc.) engine seals, EGR system, PCV system and lead contamination of HEGO sensor.

17) Check Continuity Of HEGO SIGNAL & HEGO GROUND Circuits Turn ignition off. Install breakout box, leaving ECA disconnected. Disconnect suspected HEGO sensor from vehicle harness. Inspect both ends of connector for damage or pushed-out pins, moisture, corrosion, loose wires or other damage. Repair as necessary. Set DVOM on 200-ohm scale. Measure resistance between HEGO SIGNAL (test pin No. 29) at breakout box and HEGO SIGNAL at vehicle harness connector.

On 3-Wire HEGO sensors, measure resistance between HEGO GROUND test pin at breakout box and battery negative terminal.

On 4-Wire HEGO sensors, measure resistance between HEGO GROUND test pin at breakout box and HEGO GND at vehicle harness connector. Where applicable, measure resistance between HEGO GND and SIG RTN at breakout box.

If each resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If each resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open circuit. Remove breakout box and reconnect all components. Drive vehicle for 5 minutes at 55 MPH. Rerun QUICK TEST.

If any reading is less than 10 k/ohms, repair short to ground; remove breakout box, reconnect all components and repeat QUICK TEST. If reading is 10 k/ohms or more, go to next step.

19) Check HEGO Sensor For Short To Ground With ignition off, breakout box installed and ECA disconnected, set DVOM to 200-k/ohm scale. Disconnect HEGO sensor. Measure resistance between PWR GND and HEGO SIGNAL at HEGO sensor connector. For trucks with 4-wire sensors, measure resistance between PWR GND, HEGO GND, SIG RTN and HEGO SIG at HEGO sensor connector. If resistance is less than 10 k/ohms, replace HEGO sensor and remove breakout box; reconnect all components, drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH and repeat QUICK TEST. If resistance is greater than 10 k/ohms, perform the following procedure as applicable.

  1. For codes 144/41, 139/91, 171, 174, 175 or 178, go to step 90).
  2. On engines with MAP sensor, go to step 20).
  3. On engines with MAF sensor, remove breakout box. Reconnect HEGO sensor and replace ECA. Drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH. Rerun QUICK TEST.

20) Attempt To Eliminate Code 41/172, 91/136 Or 176: Engines With MAP Sensor Turn ignition off. Install breakout box; reconnect ECA and HEGO sensor. Ensure MAP sensor vacuum hose is disconnected and plugged. Apply 10-14 in. Hg to MAP sensor. Start and run engine at 2000 RPM for 2 minutes. Allow engine to return to idle. Perform KOER SELF-TEST. If you are here for Continuous Memory Codes, vehicle has to be driven 5 miles at 55 MPH. If Code 41/172, 91/136 or 176 is still present, remove breakout box. Reconnect ECA and MAP sensor vacuum line. If engine still runs rough, go to TEST S, step 2). If engine does not run rough, replace ECA; drive vehicle 5 miles at 55 MPH then repeat QUICK TEST.

If Code 41/172, 91/136 or 176 is not present, remove breakout box and reconnect ECA and MAP sensor vacuum hose. HEGO input circuit and fuel delivery are okay; fault is in area common to all areas. Service as necessary.

21) Check Resistance Of HEGO Heating Element Turn ignition off. Disconnect suspected HEGO sensor. Inspect both ends of connector for damaged or pushed-out pins, moisture, corrosion, loose wires or other damage. Repair as necessary. Set DVOM on 200-ohm scale.

Measure voltage between KEY POWER circuit and PWR GND circuit at HEGO vehicle harness connector. If voltage is greater than 10.5 volts, HEGO system and fuel delivery are okay; HEGO sensor may have cooled before KOER SELF-TEST. If driveability symptom persists, fault is in area common to all cylinders, such as air or vacuum leaks, fuel contamination, EGR, MAP, etc. If voltage is less than 10.5 volts, go to next step.

Identifying HEGO Sensor Harness Connector. Scheme 63

Scheme 63: Identifying HEGO Sensor Harness Connector

23) Check Continuity Of Power Ground Circuit Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect HEGO sensor and set DVOM on 200-ohm scale. Measure resistance between PWR GND circuit at HEGO vehicle harness connector and battery negative post. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair open in KEY POWER circuit. Reconnect HEGO and rerun QUICK TEST. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, reconnect HEGO sensor and repair open in PWR GND circuit. Reconnect HEGO sensor and rerun QUICK TEST.

24) Check HEGO SIGNAL For Short To Power On dual HEGO systems, Code 42/173 refers to right (or rear) side HEGO, and Code 92/137 or 177 refers to left (or front) side HEGO. Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect appropriate HEGO sensor. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale. With ignition on and engine off, measure voltage between HEGO SIG and PWR GND at HEGO vehicle harness connector. If reading is less than .5 volt, go to step 26). If reading is NOT less than 0.5 volt, go to next step.

25) Check For Short To Power Turn ignition off. Disconnect HEGO sensor. Inspect both ends of connector for damaged or pushed-out pins, moisture, corrosion, loose wires or other damage. Repair as necessary. Set DVOM on 200-k/ohm scale. Disconnect ECA 60-pin connector. Install breakout box, leaving ECA disconnected. Measure resistance between KEY POWER circuit and HEGO SIG circuit at breakout box.

If reading is greater than 10 k/ohms, replace ECA. Remove breakout box and reconnect all components. Drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH. Rerun QUICK TEST.

If reading is less than 10 k/ohms, repair short circuit. Remove breakout box and reconnect all components. Drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH. Rerun QUICK TEST.

26) Check HEGO Sensor For Short To Ignition Run Circuit Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect HEGO. Set DVOM to 200-k/ohm scale. Measure resistance between KEY POWER circuit and HEGO SIG circuit at HEGO sensor connector.

If resistance is greater than 10 k/ohms, go to next step for codes 42/173, 92/137 or 177. For codes 171, 174, 175 or 178, go to step 28) (MAP sensor), or step 30) (MAF sensor).

If resistance is less than 10 k/ohms, replace HEGO sensor. Drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH and rerun QUICK TEST.

27) Attempt To Generate Code 41/172, 91/136 Or 176 The following non-EEC areas may cause these codes: fuel-contaminated engine oil, ignition misfire and faulty CANP system. Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect appropriate HEGO sensor. Using jumper wire, connect HEGO SIG circuit at HEGO vehicle harness connector to battery negative terminal. Repeat KOER SELF-TEST.

If Code 41/172, 91/136 or 176 is present, remove jumper wire and go to next step for engines with MAP. For all other engines, go to step 30).

If Codes 41/172, 91/136 or 176 is not present, remove jumper wire. Disconnect ECA connector and inspect for damage. If connector is okay, replace ECA. Drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH. Repeat QUICK TEST.

Because MAP sensor has a large influence on fuel control, Code 42/172 or 91/136 may be caused by a faulty MAP sensor, even though Code 22/126 has not been set. The next 2 steps test the MAP vacuum circuit.

28) Check MAP Sensor For Vacuum Leaks Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect vacuum hose from MAP sensor and connect vacuum pump to sensor. Apply 18 in Hg to MAP sensor. If sensor holds vacuum, release vacuum and go to next step. If sensor does not hold vacuum, replace MAP sensor. Remove vacuum pump. Connect vacuum hose and reconnect HEGO. Drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH. Repeat QUICK TEST.

29) Check For Loss Of Vacuum To MAP Sensor Using a vacuum "T", connect vacuum gauge in intake manifold vacuum hose at MAP sensor. Start engine and note vacuum reading at a stable idle. Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Remove "T" and vacuum gauge. Reconnect hose to MAP sensor. Connect vacuum gauge at a different intake manifold location. Start engine and note vacuum reading. If readings do not differ by more than 1 in. Hg, go to next step. If readings differ by more than 1 in. Hg, inspect vacuum hoses for leaks, kinks, or blockage. Repair as necessary. Reconnect all components and drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH. Rerun QUICK TEST.

30) HEGO Sensor Check Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect HEGO sensor. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale. For 4-Wire HEGO, connect DVOM to HEGO SIGNAL and HEGO GND at HEGO sensor connector. For 3-Wire HEGO, connect DVOM to HEGO SIGNAL at HEGO sensor connector and battery negative post. Remove a vacuum hose to create vacuum leak, which will cause HEGO sensor to go lean. Start engine and run at approximately 2000 RPM. DVOM should indicate less than 0.4 volt within 30 seconds. If voltage is not as specified, replace HEGO sensor. Reconnect vacuum hoses and drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH. Repeat QUICK TEST. If voltage is as specified, go to next step.

Note. There is a break in the step numbering sequence at this point, skipping from step 30) to step 90). Break is due to previous chart references to these testing procedures. No test procedures have been omitted.

90) Check Continuous Monitor Mode Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Ensure engine is at normal operating temperature. Start engine and run at 2000 RPM for 2 minutes then return to idle. Enter KOER wiggle test. See CONTINUOUS MONITOR MODE (WIGGLE TEST) under QUICK TEST. While observing DVOM or "Scan" Tool, wiggle, shake or bend small sections of EEC-IV wiring harness from HEGO sensor to ECA. Wiggle, shake or bend small sections of EEC-IV wiring harness from HEGO GND to ECA. If no fault is indicated, remain in CONTINUOUS MONITOR MODE and go to next step. If fault is indicated, isolate and repair fault as necessary. Clear codes, remove breakout box and reconnect all components. Rerun QUICK TEST.

91) Continuous Monitor Test Drive Check While still in KOER wiggle test, test drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH with minimum road load. Drive an additional 5 miles at 55 MPH over rough roads. If possible, drive vehicle through a pool of water to shower HEGO sensor and connector. If fault is indicated, isolate fault and repair as necessary. Clear codes and remove breakout box. Rerun QUICK TEST. If no codes are indicated, exit KOER wiggle test and go to next step.

92) Check HEGO Switching Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Inspect EEC-IV wire harness for proper routing and insulation. Check for burnt, chaffed or intermittently shorted or open wires. Repair as necessary. Disconnect ECA 60-pin connector and inspect for damaged or pushed-out pins, corrosion, loose wires or other damage; repair as necessary. Install breakout box and connect ECA to breakout box. Connect analog voltmeter to suspected HEGO sensor test pin and HEGO GND at breakout box. Test drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH while observing voltmeter. HEGO should switch from .3 volt to .9 volt within 3 seconds. If HEGO does not switch as described, replace HEGO sensor. Remove breakout box, reconnect all components and rerun QUICK TEST. If HEGO switches as described, fault cannot be identified or duplicated at this time. See INTERMITTENTS in the TESTS W/O CODES article in this section.

MAP SENSOR VOLTAGE OUTPUT

If possible, measure several known good MAP/BP sensors on available vehicles. Average voltage reading will be typical for your location on date of testing.

1) Continuous Memory Codes 181, 183, 189 Or 192: Is Vehicle SEFI or EFI? This test identifies areas that could cause HEGO sensor to detect excessive oxygen, resulting in adaptive fuel enriching the system to compensate. Excessive oxygen will be detected with lean conditions and certain rich conditions.

For vehicles with dual HEGO sensors, a related fuel code from both HEGO sensors could indicate a problem that is common to all cylinders. If a code is present from only one HEGO, this may help isolate a problem or be an early indication of a common problem.

  1. Code 183 - Indicates the single right or rear HEGO detected a problem, and adaptive fuel rich limit has been reached at idle.
  2. Code 192 - Indicates the left or front HEGO detected a problem, and adaptive fuel rich limit has been reached at idle.
  3. Code 181 - Indicates the single right or rear HEGO detected a problem, and adaptive fuel rich limit has been reached.
  4. Code 189 - Indicates the left or front HEGO detected a problem, and adaptive fuel rich limit has been reached.

Ensure a pass code (111) is received during both KOEO SELF-TEST and KOER SELF-TEST. Whenever a repair is made, clear Keep-Alive Memory (KAM). If driveability symptoms are not present, be aware of other temporary conditions that may have set this code, such as vehicle is out of fuel or fuel is contaminated.

If vehicle is SEFI equipped, go to next step. If vehicle is not SEFI equipped, go to step 3).

2) Run Cylinder Balance Test Run KOER SELF-TEST. After last repeated code, wait 5-10 seconds then "goose" throttle lightly (not WOT). Cylinder balance test will be activated. If Code 90 is present, go to next step. If Code 90 is not present, go to step 35).

3) Check For Vacuum/Air Induction Leaks Check all vacuum hose and connections for leaks or damage. Check air induction system for leak or damage. If leak or damage is found, repair as necessary; clear KAM and rerun QUICK TEST. If leak or damage is not found, go to next step.

4) Check For Low Fuel Pressure Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Install fuel pressure gauge. Cycle ignition from off to run 2 to 3 times. Observe KOEO fuel pressure. Start engine, observe and record KOER fuel pressure. For fuel pressure specifications, see FUEL PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS article. If fuel pressure is within specifications, go to next step. If fuel pressure is not within specifications, repair fuel system as necessary. Clear KAM and rerun QUICK TEST.

5) Check Systems Ability To Hold Fuel Pressure With fuel pressure gauge installed, cycle ignition from off to on 2 to 3 times to pressurize fuel system (do not start engine). If fuel pressure remains at specifications for 60 seconds, go to next step (MAP/BP-equipped vehicles), or step 7) (all other vehicles).

Disconnect any fuel injector harness connector. Measure and record voltage between VPWR circuit at fuel injector vehicle harness connector and battery negative terminal. If both voltage readings are within one volt of each other, go to next step. If voltage readings differ by more than one volt, fuel injectors are not getting proper battery voltage. Isolate and repair problem. Clear KAM and rerun QUICK TEST.

8) Ensure CANP Solenoid Is Not Stuck Closed Enter Output State Check. Disconnect hose to manifold vacuum at CANP solenoid. Check for blockage and repair or replace hose as necessary. With outputs off, apply 16 in. Hg. vacuum to manifold vacuum side of CANP. Depress throttle to cycle outputs on. If vacuum releases, reconnect vacuum hose to CANP and go to next step (thermactor-equipped vehicles), or step 26) (all other vehicles). If vacuum does not release, repeat this step to verify results. If vacuum will not release, check canister and vacuum hose to canister for blockage; repair as necessary. If canister and hose are okay, replace CANP solenoid; clear KAM and rerun QUICK TEST.

9) Check Thermactor System For Upstream Air Leak Check thermactor air control and vacuum control valves. See the I - SYS/COMP TESTS article. If air control valve is operating properly, go to step 25). If air control valve is not operating properly, repair or replace valve as necessary. Clear KAM and rerun QUICK TEST.

Note. There is a break in the step numbering sequence at this point, skipping from step 9) to step 15). Break is due to previous chart references to these testing procedures. No test procedures have been omitted.

15) Continuous Memory Codes 179, 182, 188 Or 191: Is Vehicle SEFI or EFI? This test identifies areas that could cause engine to run rich, resulting in adaptive fuel reducing the system to compensate.

For vehicles with dual HEGO sensors, a related fuel code from both HEGO sensors could indicate a problem that is common to all cylinders. If a code is present from only one HEGO, this may help isolate a problem or it may be an early indication of a common problem.

  1. Code 182 - Indicates the single right or rear HEGO detected a problem, and adaptive fuel lean limit has been reached at idle.
  2. Code 191 - Indicates the left or front HEGO detected a problem, and adaptive fuel lean limit has been reached at idle.
  3. Code 179 - Indicates the single, right or rear HEGO detected a problem, and adaptive fuel lean limit has been reached.
  4. Code 188 - Indicates the left or front HEGO detected a problem, and adaptive fuel lean limit has been reached.

Ensure a pass code (111) is received during both KOEO SELF-TEST and KOER SELF-TEST. Whenever a repair is made, clear Keep-Alive Memory (KAM). If vehicle is SEFI equipped, go to next step. If vehicle is not SEFI equipped, go to step 17).

16) Run Cylinder Balance Test Run KOER SELF-TEST. After last repeated code, wait 5-10 seconds then "goose" throttle lightly (not WOT). Cylinder balance test will be activated. If Code 90 is present, go to next step. If Code 90 is not present, go to step 35).

The following road test is a suggested optional procedure. Follow all applicable safety procedures and traffic laws. This road test requires another person to accompany the driver. The accompanying person can make measurements, observe changes and record notes. If for some reason this test is not performed, go to the TESTS W/O CODES article in this section for other possible causes.

40) Road Test Vehicle The purpose of this test is to identify areas of concern by monitoring certain controlled parameters, while trying to recreate a driveability or MIL light symptom. To prepare for road test, do the following

  1. Install fuel pressure gauge.
  2. Install MAP/BP tester.
  3. Disconnect ECA 60-pin connector; install breakout box and reconnect ECA to breakout box.
  4. Connect "T" vacuum gauge into manifold vacuum line.
  5. Have DVOM, writing materials and appropriate schematics or pin voltage charts on hand.

With ignition on and negative lead of DVOM connected to battery negative terminal, ensure the following signals are correct

  1. POWERS: KAPWR (pin No. 1) is greater than 10.5 volts, VPWR (pins No. 37/57) is greater than 10.5 volts and VREF (pin No. 26) is 4-6 volts.
  2. GROUNDS: PWR GND (pins No. 40/60), SIG RTN (pin No. 46) and IGN GND (pin No. 16) are 0-.5 volt.
  3. OPTIONAL GROUNDS: HEGO GND (pin No. 49), CSE GND (pin No. 20) and MAF RTN (pin No. 9 or 15).

Drive vehicle and attempt to induce symptom. Information provided by customer may help when trying to recreate symptom. When symptom occurs, the accompanying passenger should observe and record changes in EEC-IV signals. Information about the symptom, operating condition value of EEC-IV signal and any other information available should be recorded on paper for analysis. If unable to duplicate symptom during road test, it is still useful to verify that EEC-IV values are in expected range.

Once road test has been completed, analyze results to locate and repair exact fault causing symptom. If problem cannot be identified, go to the TESTS W/O CODES article in this section for other possible causes of symptom.

Perform this test when instructed by QUICK TEST, or when directed by other test procedures.

This test is intended to diagnose only the following

  1. Fuel Pump Relay
  2. Inertia Switch

90) Continuous Memory Code 95/542: Check EEC-IV Harness Code 95/542 indicates one of the following conditions has occurred intermittently

  1. Open circuit in or between fuel pump and FPM circuit at ECA
  2. Faulty ground circuit at fuel pump
  3. FPM or POWER-to-PUMP circuit short to power
  4. Fuel pump relay contacts stuck open
  5. FUEL PUMP circuit is activated when ECA expects circuit to be off

Start engine and perform wiggle test on vehicle harness to fuel pump, and to pump ground circuit harness. See CONTINUOUS MONITOR MODE (WIGGLE TEST) under QUICK TEST. Lightly tap inertia switch and pump to simulate road shock. Check for engine miss or stumble while performing test. With ignition off, check harness connectors for corrosion or damage. Isolate and repair any faults; clear Code 95/542 and rerun QUICK TEST. If no fault is found, go to next step.

91) Check FPM Circuit Turn ignition off. Disconnect ECA 60-pin connector. Inspect connector for damaged pins, corrosion, or loose wires. Install breakout box and leave ECA disconnected. With Key On Engine Off (KOEO), connect a test light between test pin No. 8 and test pin No. 37 at breakout box. With test light lit, perform wiggle test on FPM circuit between pump and monitor. Light should go out if fault is found during wiggle test. Isolate and repair any found faults; remove test set-up and rerun QUICK TEST. If no fault is found, go to next step.

92) Check For Shorts To Power With KOEO, breakout box installed and ECA disconnected, connect a test light between test pin No. 8 and test pin No. 40. Observe test light; perform wiggle test on FPM circuit and POWER-to-PUMP circuit. Lightly tap fuel pump relay to simulate road shock. If light comes on, it indicates fault exists; isolate and repair as necessary. Remove test set-up and rerun QUICK TEST. If no fault is found, go to step 96) (dual HEGO-equipped vehicles), or step 99) (all others).

93) Continuous Memory Code 96/543: Check For Continuous Memory Code 87/556 If Code 87 or 556 is present, go to step 95). If code 87 or 556 is not displayed, go to next step.

94) Check EEC-IV Harness A Continuous Memory Code 96/543, without an accompanying Continuous Memory Code 87/556, indicates that during vehicle operation, one of the following conditions has occurred

  1. An open in BATT (+) circuit between BATT (+) and fuel pump relay
  2. Fuel pump relay contacts open
  3. Open in POWER-to-PUMP circuit from fuel pump relay to FPM splice (if applicable)
  4. Left/front HEGO circuit short to power (dual HEGO)

With engine running, attempt to cause a miss or stumble while performing wiggle test on pump harness and connectors. With ignition off, inspect all fuel pump connectors and BATT (+) for damage or corrosion. If fault is found, isolate and repair as necessary. Clear Continuous Memory Codes and rerun QUICK TEST. If no fault is found, under certain conditions, a Continuous Memory Code 95/543 may have been set without a Continuous Memory Code 87/556, even though a fault has occurred in fuel pump primary circuit. Go to next step.

95) Continuous Code 87/556: Check EEC-IV Harness A Continuous Memory Code 87 or 556 indicates primary fuel pump circuit has failed during vehicle operation. Possible causes for this fault are as follows

  1. Open in VPWR circuit between EEC power relay and fuel pump relay
  2. Open coil in fuel pump relay
  3. Open in fuel pump circuit (pin 22)
  4. Faulty inertia switch

With engine running, attempt to cause a miss or stumble while performing wiggle test on VPWR circuit between EEC power relay and fuel pump relay. Wiggle fuel pump circuit harness (test pin No. 22) between ECA and fuel pump relay. Lightly tap fuel pump relay to simulate road shock. With ignition off, inspect ECA 60-pin connector for damage or corrosion. If fault is found, isolate and repair as necessary. Rerun QUICK TEST. If no fault is found, go to next step (dual HEGO-equipped vehicles), or if fault may not be duplicated at this time (all others), go to step 99).

Diagnostic Aids - Due to internal circuitry of ECA, an intermittent left/front HEGO signal short to power could produce a Continuous Memory Code 95/542 or 96/543.

96) Check Left/Front HEGO Circuit For Short To Power Turn ignition off. Install breakout box and leave ECA disconnected. Connect test light between left/front HEGO test pin and pin No. 40 at breakout box. See schematic at beginning of TEST H for appropriate HEGO test pin No. Perform wiggle test on left/front HEGO circuit to ECA. Lightly tap HEGO sensor to simulate road shock. If light goes on, it indicates fault exists; isolate and repair as necessary. Remove test set-up, clear Keep-Alive Memory (KAM) and rerun QUICK TEST. If no fault is indicated, go to next step.

Note. There is a break in the step numbering sequence at this point, skipping from step 96) to step 99). Break is due to previous chart references to these testing procedures. No test procedures have been omitted.
