-Upstream
The input from the upstream heated oxygen sensor
tells the PCM the oxygen content of the exhaust
gas. Based on this input, the PCM fine tunes the
air-fuel ratio by adjusting injector pulse width.
The sensor produces from 0 to 1 volt, depending
upon the oxygen content of the exhaust gas in the
exhaust manifold. When a large amount of oxygen
is present (caused by a lean air-fuel mixture), the
sensor produces voltage as low as 0.1 volt. When
there is a lesser amount of oxygen present (rich
air-fuel mixture) the sensor produces a voltage as
high as 1.0 volt. By monitoring the oxygen content
and converting it to electrical voltage, the sensor
acts as a rich-lean switch.
The heating element in the sensor maintains correct
oxygen sensor temperature. Maintaining correct
sensor temperature at all times allows the system
to enter into Closed Loop operation sooner. Also,
it allows the system to remain in Closed Loop opera-
tion during periods extended’ idle.
In Closed Loop operation the PCM monitors the
inputs from the heated oxygen sensors (along with
other inputs). In Closed Loop, the PCM adjusts injec-
tor pulse width based on the upstream heated oxy-
gen sensor input. During Open Loop operation the
PCM ignores the inputs from both the upstream
and downstream heated oxygen sensors. In Open
Loop, the PCM adjusts injector pulse width based
on preprogrammed (fixed) values and inputs from
other sensors.
The upstream oxygen sensor threads into the outlet
flange of the exhaust manifold.
Downstream
The downstream heated oxygen sensor threads
into the exhaust pipe at the rear of the catalytic
convertor. The downstream heated oxygen sensor
input is used to detect catalytic convertor
tion. As the convertor deteriorates, the input from
the downstream sensor begins to match the
stream sensor input except for a slight time delay.
By comparing the downstream heated oxygen
sor input to the input from the upstream sensor,
the PCM calculates catalytic convertor efficiency.

AIR CONDITIONING SWITCH
When air conditioning or defrost is selected the PCM
receives an input signal that allows it to ground
the A/C clutch relay. This provides power to the
A/C clutch. In addition, the PCM adjusts the idle
air controller motor to compensate for the increased
engine load and maintain target idle.

POWER STEERING PRESSURE SWITCH
A pressure switch is located on the power steering
unit’s body to signal periods of high pump load and
pressure, such as those which occur during parking
maneuvers. This allows the PCM to maintain target
PARK/NEUTRAL SWITCH
The park/neutral switch is located on the automatic
transxale housing. Manual transaxles do not use
park neutral switches. The switch provides an input
to the PCM. The input indicates whether the auto-
matic transaxle is in Park, Neutral, or a drive gear
idle speed. To compensate for the additional engine
load, the PCM increases airflow by adjusting the
idle air control motor.
selection. This input is used to determine idle speed
(varying with gear selection), fuel injector pulse
width, and ignition timing advance. The park neutral
switch is sometimes referred to as the neutral safety
switch.
IGNITION SWITCH-IG (J2 SENSE)
The ignition sense input informs the power-train con-
trol module (PCM) that the ignition switch is in the
Crank or Run position.

BRAKE SWITCH
When the brake switch is activated, the power-train
control module (PCM) receives an input indicating
that the brakes are being applied. After receiving
this input the PCM maintains idle speed to scheduled
RPM through control of the idle air control motor.
The brake switch is mounted on the brake pedal
support bracket.
BATTERY VOLTAGE
The power-train control module (PCM) monitors the
battery voltage input to determine fuel injector pulse
width and generator field control. If battery voltage
is low the PCM will increase injector pulse width
(period of time that the injector is energized).
