VC Output Circuit
DESCRIPTION
The ECM constantly uses 5 V from the battery voltages supplied to the +B
(BATT) terminal to operate the
microprocessor. The ECM also provides this power to the sensors through the VC
output circuit.
When the VC circuit is short-circuited, the microprocessor in the ECM and
sens ...

ECM / PCM Internal Engine Off Timer Performance
DTC SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
To ensure the accuracy of the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) monitor values, the
soak timer, which is built
into the ECM, measures 5 hours (+/- 15 minutes) from when the ignition switch is
turned off, before the
monitor is run. This allows the fuel to cool down, whic ...
