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

PCM outputs codes one digit at a time. Record codes in order received. These codes indicate current faults in system and should be serviced in order of appearance. Use SERVICE CODE-TO-TEST MENUS to find correct CIRCUIT TEST.

If using VOM, 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. 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 1/2-second sweep (separator) and another 6-second delay. see scheme 1

If using MIL light, service codes are displayed as flashes.

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 service codes are no longer present.

Scheme 63: Diagnostic Aids

KOEO SELF-TEST

Ensure engine is warmed to normal operating temperature. If engine does not start (or stalls after starting), continue KOEO SELF-TEST. DO NOT depress throttle on gasoline vehicles. 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-TO-TEST MENUS. If PCM will not output codes, go to CIRCUIT TEST QA. If service codes are retrieved

  1. If CHECK ENGINE or SERVICE ENGINE SOON light is on, service codes in order retrieved. See SERVICE CODE-TO-TEST MENUS.
  2. On DIS and EDIS models, see IGNITION SYSTEM in I - EEC-IV SYS/COMP TESTS article in this section if Continuous Memory Code 45, 46, 48, 215, 216, 217, 232 or 238 is retrieved during KOEO SELF-TEST.
  3. If vehicle has a no-start condition, go to CIRCUIT TEST AA (DI), CIRCUIT TEST AB (EI) or CIRCUIT TEST AC (EI).
  4. If vehicle displays a Code 11 or 111 (pass code) and does not have any of 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 retrieved in KOEO SELF-TEST. If system has not passed KOEO SELF-TEST, codes 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 engine, and run it for 2 minutes at 2000 RPM to warm Heated Exhaust Gas 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 engine starts and stalls (or stalls during self-test), go to CIRCUIT TEST S.
  2. If Code 98 or 998 is displayed, 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.
  3. If vehicle is equipped with a Brake On-Off (BOO) switch, brake pedal must be depressed and released after ID code portion of test.
  4. On vehicles with Power Steering Pressure Switch (PSP), turn steering wheel at least 1/2 turn and release within 1-2 seconds after ID code portion of test.
  5. On vehicles with E4OD transmissions, Overdrive Cancel Switch (OCS) must be cycled after ID code portion of test.
  6. If Dynamic Response Code appears, perform a brief Wide Open Throttle (WOT). DO NOT perform WOT unless requested.
  7. 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-TO-TEST MENUS.
  8. If KOER codes are present, see SERVICE CODE-TO-TEST MENUS. If system will not output codes, go to CIRCUIT TEST QA.
  9. If a Code 11 or 111 (pass code) is retrieved during Continuous Memory Code portion of KOEO SELF-TEST (Code 11-1-11 or Code 111-1-111) and no driveability problem exists, EEC-IV testing is complete. If driveability problems are still present, go to TESTS W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section.
  10. If a Code 11 or 111 (pass code) is retrieved during KOER SELF-TEST and intermittent fault(s) continue, go to CONTINUOUS MONITOR MODE (WIGGLE TEST).

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 Procedure

Connect test equipment. see scheme 3 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. If a fault is detected, a service code may be stored in memory and indicated at diagnostic tester or scan tester. Retrieve code, and perform appropriate test. See SERVICE CODE-TO-TEST MENUS.

KOER Wiggle Test Procedure

Connect test equipment. see scheme 3 Turn ignition off, and wait 10 seconds. 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. Tap, move and wiggle suspect sensor and/or harness area. If a fault is detected, a service code may be stored in memory and indicated at diagnostic tester or scan tester. Retrieve code, and perform appropriate test. See SERVICE CODE-TO-TEST MENUS.

Cylinder Balance Test

This test helps identify a weak or non-contributing cylinder in engines with sequential PFI fuel systems. PCM shuts off fuel supply to each injector and measures RPM drop. It computes variation between cylinders and identifies weak ones.

This test mode is entered from 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, PCM will activate test procedure.

Test will be repeated if throttle is depressed within 2 minutes of final code output. During second and third test sequences, percentage of allowable variation between cylinders is reduced. Service codes displayed during this test identify weak or non-contributing cylinder. See CYLINDER BALANCE TEST SERVICE CODES TABLE. 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. Total test time is about 3 minutes.

CYLINDER BALANCE TEST SERVICE CODES

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

On CIRCUIT TEST H and CIRCUIT TEST J, vacuum leaks in non-EEC related areas may cause Code 41 or 91 to be displayed. Check vacuum motors, engine seals, EGR system, PCV system, Canister Purge (CANP), HO2S air intake system and between airflow meter and throttle body for unmetered air leaks. Code 42 or 92 may be caused by fuel-contaminated engine oil, ignition misfire, or EGR system or CANP problems.

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. Step 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 87/556 (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 87/556 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 pin 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 95/542 and 96/543, 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.
