The powertrain control module needs the following inputs to calibrate the engine properly:

 

-camshaft position.

-engine rpm.

-engine coolant temperature.

-amount of engine detonation.

 

 

The throttle position sensor :

 

-sends the powertrain control module a signal indicating the throttle plate angle.

-is the main input to the powertrain control module from the driver.

 

 

The idle air control valve 4.6L, 5.4L:

 

-controls bypass air around the throttle plate at low speeds.

-is controlled by the powertrain control module.

 

 

The engine coolant temperature sensor :

 

-sends the powertrain control module a signal indicating engine temperature.

-resistance decreases as coolant temperature increases.

 

 

The camshaft position sensor :

 

-sends the powertrain control module a signal indicating camshaft position used for fuel synchronization.

 

 

The crankshaft position sensor :

 

-sends the powertrain control module a signal indicating crankshaft position.

-is essential for calculating spark timing.

 

 

The mass air flow sensor :

 

-sends the powertrain control module a signal indicating mass airflow rate of air entering the engine.

 

 

The intake air temperature sensor :

 

-sends the powertrain control module a signal indicating the temperature of the air entering the engine.

-resistance decreases as temperature increases.

 

 

The heated oxygen sensor :

 

-has the ability to create a voltage signal dependent on exhaust oxygen content.

-provides feedback information to the powertrain control module used to calculate fuel delivery.

 

 

The 4.6L knock sensor is located in the lifter valley. The 4.2L knock sensor is located on the RH side of the block. The 5.4L has a unique linear knock sensor located in the lifter valley.

 

-sends a signal to the powertrain control module indicating engine detonation.

-if detonation is occurring, the powertrain control module then changes engine timing.

 

 

The cylinder head temperature (CHT) sensor 4.6L, 5.4L:

 

-is mounted into the wall of the cylinder head and is not connected to any coolant passages.

-sends a signal to the powertrain control module indicating the cylinder head temperature.

i-f the temperature exceeds 126°C (-258°F) 5.4L, 130°C (265°F) 4.6L, the powertrain control module disables four fuel injectors at a time. The powertrain control module will alternate which four injectors are disabled every 32 engine cycles. The four cylinders that are not being fuel injected act as air pumps to aid in cooling the engine.

-if the temperature exceeds 154 °C (310°F) 5.4L, 166°C (330°F) 4.6L, the powertrain control module disables all of the fuel injectors until the engine temperature drops below 153°C (308°F) 4.6L, 154°C (310°F) 5.4L.

DTCs are set.

-If the engine reaches critical temperature, the following happens:

The coolant temperature gauge pointer will read fully hot at 121°C (250°F).

The check gauge warning indicator will illuminate.

 

 

The vehicle speed sensor :

 

-is gear driven by the transmission.

-sends a signal to the powertrain control module indicating vehicle speed.

 

 

The clutch pedal position (CPP) switch:

 

-sends a signal to the powertrain control module indicating clutch pedal position.

 

 

The fuel pressure sensor:

 

-is mounted on the fuel injection supply manifold (9F792) downstream of the fuel injector.

-regulates the fuel pressure supplied to the fuel injectors.

Odometer Display Description

 

GAGE – Activates gauge sweep of all gauges, then displays present gauge values. Also carries out the checksum tests on ROM and EE. If the gauge sweep is inoperative, INSTALL a new instrument cluster; REFER to Instrument Cluster .

 

All segments illuminated – Illuminates all odometer segments. If any odometer segment is inoperative, INSTALL a new instrument cluster; REFER to Instrument Cluster .

 

bulb – Illuminates all micro-controlled lamps and LEDs (low oil pressure/high coolant temperature, low fuel, service engine soon, brake, low range). INSTALL a new bulb or LED as necessary.

 

r – Returns to normal operation of all micro-controlled lamps and LEDs and displays hexadecimal value for ROM level (used when requesting assistance from the hotline). If alternating flashes of FAIL and ROM level are displayed, INSTALL a new instrument cluster; refer to Instrument Cluster .

 

EE – Displays hexadecimal value for EE level (used when requesting assistance from the hotline). If alternating flashes of FAIL and EE level are displayed, INSTALL a new instrument cluster; refer to Instrument Cluster .
