SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM

CAUTIONWhen battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in the GENERAL INFORMATION section before disconnecting battery.

DIAGNOSTIC FORMATS

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

Before starting any CIRCUIT TEST, follow all steps under QUICK TEST to find correct CIRCUIT TEST. If vehicle passes QUICK TEST and no driveability symptoms or intermittent faults exist, EEC-IV system is okay.

KOEO & KOER SELF-TEST Codes

All service codes are 2- or 3-digit numbers. PCM outputs codes one digit at a time. These codes indicate current faults in system and should be serviced in order of appearance. Refer to the SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS to find correct CIRCUIT TEST.

Codes are shown as voltage pulses. If using MIL/CHECK ENGINE light, service codes are displayed as light pulses. If using Volt-Ohmmeter (VOM), service codes are displayed as needle sweeps. see scheme 1

Pay careful attention to length of pauses in order to read codes correctly. A 1/2-second pause occurs between number of sweeps in a digit and a 2-second pause occurs between digits in a code.A 4-second pause occurs 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 order received.

Scan tester, if used, will count pulses and display them as a digital code. Star Series Tester will add a zero (0) to single-digit Separator Code (10) and Dynamic Response Code (10). Dynamic Response Code is displayed in KOER SELF-TEST. see scheme 1

Diagnostic Aids

After each service or repair procedure has been completed, repeat QUICK TEST to ensure all EEC-IV systems work properly and fault codes are no longer present.

KOEO SELF-TEST

Ensure engine is at normal operating temperature. If engine does not start (or stalls after starting), continue KOEO SELF-TEST.

Perform the following step(s) as applicable

  1. On gasoline vehicles, DO NOT depress throttle.
  2. On vehicles with Brake On/Off circuit, apply and release brake pedal after vehicle ID code is given.
  3. On vehicles with Power Steering Pressure (PSP) switch, turn steering wheel 1/2 turn and release after vehicle ID code is given.
  4. On vehicles with Transmission Control Switch (TCS), cycle TCS switch after vehicle ID code is given.

Turn ignition off. Wait 10 seconds. Ensure test equipment is properly attached. Turn ignition on (engine off). Record all KOEO and Continuous Memory Codes.

If a Code 11 or 111 (pass code) is not retrieved, service KOEO codes. See SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS. If PCM will not output codes, go to CIRCUIT TEST QA. If service codes are retrieved

  1. Service codes in order retrieved. See SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS.
  2. If vehicle has a no-start condition, see CIRCUIT TEST AA.
  3. If vehicle displays a Code 11 or 111 (pass code), go to KOER SELF-TEST.

KOER SELF-TEST

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

Deactivate self-test by removing and reconnecting jumper wire or by procedure specified by manufacturer of test equipment in use. Start engine, and run it for 2 minutes at 2000 RPM to warm Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S). 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 following items

  1. If Code 98 or 998 is displayed, EEC-IV system is operating in Failure Management Effects Mode (FMEM). PCM has detected an out-of-range sensor and has substituted a fixed value to enable vehicle to continue operation.
  2. If vehicle is equipped with a Brake On-Off (BOO) switch, brake pedal must be depressed and released after ID code portion of test.
  3. On vehicles with Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch, turn steering wheel at least 1/2 turn and release within 1-2 seconds after ID code portion of test.
  4. On vehicles with Transmission Control Switch (TCS), cycle TCS switch after vehicle ID code is given.
  5. If Dynamic Response Code appears, perform a brief Wide Open Throttle (WOT). DO NOT perform WOT unless requested.
  6. If a Code 11 or 111 (pass code) is retrieved during KOER SELF-TEST, service Continuous Memory Codes retrieved in KOEO SELF-TEST. See SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS.
  7. If a Code 11 or 111 (pass code) is retrieved during Continuous Memory Code portion of KOEO SELF-TEST and no driveability problem exists, EEC-IV testing is complete. If driveability problems are still present, proceed to «TESTS W/O CODES»(ref-22970) article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.
  8. If KOER codes are present, see SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS. If system will not output codes, go to CIRCUIT TEST QA.

CONTINUOUS MONITOR MODE (WIGGLE TEST)

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

KOEO Wiggle Test

1) Connect test equipment. Turn ignition on, and activate self-test using jumper lead or diagnostic tester. Wait 10 seconds, and then deactivate and reactivate self-test. Wiggle test mode is now activated. Tap, move and wiggle suspect sensor and/or harness area.

2) If a fault is detected, scan tester should indicate a tone or light and VOM will perform needle sweep and/or MIL will come on. A service code may be stored in continuous memory. Retrieve code, and perform appropriate test. See SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS.

KOER Wiggle Test

1) Turn ignition off. Connect test equipment. Start engine. Activate self-test using jumper lead or diagnostic tester. Wait 10 seconds, and then deactivate and reactivate self-test. DO NOT turn engine off. KOER wiggle test mode is now activated.

2) Tap, move and wiggle suspect sensor and/or harness area. If a fault is detected, scan tester should indicate a tone or light and VOM will perform needle sweep and/or MIL will come on. A service code may be stored in continuous memory. Retrieve code, and perform appropriate test. See SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS.

Cylinder Balance Test

1) This test helps identify a weak or non-contributing cylinder in engines with SFI fuel systems. PCM shuts off fuel supply to each injector and measures RPM drop. It computes variation between cylinders and identifies weak ones. Total test time is about 3 minutes.

2) This test mode is entered from KOER SELF-TEST after all codes have been displayed. Within 2 minutes after codes have been displayed, apply and release throttle). After a brief stabilizing period, PCM will activate test procedure.

3) If Code 90 is displayed during this test, system has passed test. If Code 77 is displayed, repeat cylinder balance test. If throttle is moved during this test, Code 77 will appear, indicating test is not completed. If a weak cylinder is indicated, repeat test. See CYLINDER BALANCE TEST SERVICE CODES table.

4) Test will be repeated if throttle is applied and released within 2 minutes of final code output. When repeating test sequence, percentage of allowable variation between cylinders is reduced. If Code 90 is displayed, cylinder identified in previous first test is considered weak. If code 90 cannot be obtained, cylinder is considered non-contributing.

CAUTIONFollowing road test is an optional procedure. Follow all applicable safety procedures and traffic laws. This road test requires a driver and an assistant. Assistant should make measurements, observe changes and record notes. If this test is not performed, go to TESTS W/O CODES article in this section for other possible causes.

99) Road Test Vehicle Purpose of this test is to identify faults by monitoring certain controlled parameters while trying to recreate a drive-ability or MIL symptom. To prepare for road test

  1. Install fuel pressure gauge and if available, a MAP/BARO tester.
  2. Disconnect PCM 60-pin connector, install breakout box and reconnect PCM to breakout box.
  3. Connect "T" vacuum gauge into manifold vacuum line.
  4. Have DVOM, writing materials and appropriate schematics and pin voltage charts available.

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

  1. POWERS: KAPWR (pin No. 1) is greater than 10.5 volts, VPWR (pins No. 37 and 57) is greater than 10.5 volts and VREF (pin No. 26) is 4-6 volts.
  2. GROUNDS: PWR GND (pins No. 40 and 60), SIG RTN (pin No. 46) and IGN GND (pin No. 16) are 0.0-0.5 volt.
  3. OPTIONAL GROUNDS: HO2S GND (pin No. 49), CSE GND (pin No. 20) and MAF RTN (pin No. 9 or 15) are 0.0-0.5 volt.

Test lights and DVOM are useful during diagnosis. For example: with Continuous Memory Code 556 (fuel pump primary circuit failure) and a surge or stall symptom, connect a test light to fuel pump relay between VPWR and ground. Connect DVOM between FP circuit at fuel pump relay and breakout box test pin No. 1. Under normal driving conditions, test light will be on and DVOM will read battery voltage. If vehicle stalls, PCM will open FP circuit and DVOM voltage will be low. If fault is in fuel pump circuit, test light and DVOM status will change as fault occurs. If test light at VPWR circuit goes out, fault is in VPWR circuit to fuel pump relay. If test light and DVOM status do not change and Continuous Memory Code 556 is set again, replace fuel pump relay. If only FP voltage goes low, fault is in FP circuit or PCM. To diagnose FP circuit and PCM, connect DVOM between breakout box test pins No. 1 and 22. If voltage goes low as symptom occurs, replace PCM. If voltage stays high as symptom occurs, fault is in FP circuit. For fuel pump secondary circuit Codes 542 and 543, circuits B+, POWER-TO-PUMP and FPM can be diagnosed using same procedure. Drive vehicle and attempt to induce symptom. Information provided by vehicle operator may help when trying to recreate symptom. When symptom occurs, assistant should observe and record changes in voltage signals. Information about symptom and operating condition value of voltage signal and any other information available should be recorded for analysis. If unable to duplicate symptom during road test, verify EEC-IV values are within acceptable range. After test is completed, analyze results to locate and repair fault causing symptom. If problem cannot be identified, go to TESTS W/O CODES article in this section for other possible causes of symptom.

Perform this test when instructed by QUICK TEST. To prevent replacement of good components, be aware the following non-EEC related areas may be at fault

  1. Damaged vacuum hoses.
