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 diagnostic trouble codes. CIRCUIT TESTS check circuits, sensors and actuators.
Before starting any CIRCUIT TEST, follow all steps under QUICK TEST to find correct CIRCUIT TEST to perform. If vehicle passes QUICK TEST and no driveability symptoms or intermittent faults exist, EEC-IV system is okay.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTC)
During QUICK TEST, 3 types of diagnostic trouble codes are retrieved: KOEO, KOER and Continuous Memory codes. See QUICK TEST for self-test procedures. Codes may be cleared from PCM memory after they have been recorded or repaired. See CLEARING CODES.
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 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS to identify correct CIRCUIT TEST to perform.
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/CHECK ENGINE light, diagnostic trouble codes are displayed as flashes.
Scan tester, if used, will count pulses and display them as a digital code. STAR tester cannot be used to read 3-digit codes. Super Star II or New Generation Star tester can be used to read 3-digit codes. If using Super Star II tester, 3-digit codes will only be displayed in fast code mode. If slow code mode is used, display will be blank.
Diagnostic Aids
After each service or repair procedure has been completed, repeat QUICK TEST to ensure all EEC-IV systems work properly and diagnostic trouble codes are no longer present.
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. Turn ignition off. Ensure test equipment is properly attached. Turn ignition on (engine off). Record all KOEO and Continuous Memory Codes.
If a Code 111 (pass code) is not retrieved, service KOEO codes. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS. If PCM will not output codes, go to CIRCUIT TEST QA. If diagnostic trouble codes are retrieved
- If MIL/CHECK ENGINE light is on, service diagnostic trouble codes in order retrieved. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS.
- On distributorless ignition models, see IGNITION SYSTEM in «SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS - EEC-IV (2.0L)»(ref-22925) article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section if Continuous Memory Code 215, 216, 217, 218, 222, 223, 224, 232 or 238 is retrieved during KOEO SELF-TEST.
- If vehicle has a no-start condition, go to CIRCUIT TEST AA (DI), CIRCUIT TEST AB (EI - low data rate) or CIRCUIT TEST AC (EI -high data rate).
- If vehicle displays a Code 111 (pass code) and does not have any symptoms described in previous steps, go to KOER SELF -TEST.
DO NOT enter this test sequence until a Code 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 diagnostic trouble codes displayed. Check following items
- If engine starts and stalls (or stalls during self-test), go to CIRCUIT TEST S.
- If Code 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.
- If vehicle is equipped with a Brake On-Off (BOO) switch, brake pedal must be depressed and released after ID code portion of test.
- 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.
- If Dynamic Response Code appears, perform a brief Wide Open Throttle (WOT). DO NOT perform WOT unless requested.
- If a Code 111 (pass code) is retrieved during KOER SELF-TEST, service Continuous Memory Codes retrieved in KOEO SELF-TEST. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS.
- If KOER codes are present, see DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS. If system will not output codes, go to CIRCUIT TEST QA.
- If a Code 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 still present, see the article «TESTS W/O CODES - EEC-IV (2.0L)»(ref-22923) in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.
- If a Code 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 2 Turn ignition on. 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 diagnostic trouble code may be stored in memory and indicated at diagnostic tester or scan tester. Retrieve code, and perform appropriate test. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS.
KOER Wiggle Test Procedure
Connect test equipment. see scheme 2 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 diagnostic trouble code may be stored in memory and indicated at diagnostic tester or scan tester. Retrieve code, and perform appropriate test. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS.
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 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE 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 complete. Repeat Cylinder Balance Test. Total test time is about 3 minutes.

| CAUTION | Following 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 these test were not performed, go to TESTS W/O CODES - EEC-IV (2.0L) article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE 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
- Install fuel pressure gauge and if available, a MAP/BARO tester.
- Disconnect PCM 60-pin connector, install breakout box and reconnect PCM to breakout box.
- Connect "T" vacuum gauge into manifold vacuum line.
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 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 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, proceed to TESTS W/O CODES - EEC-IV (2.0L) article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section for other possible causes of symptom.

80) Code 542 Code 542 indicates one of the following conditions.
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 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.
