Cruise or Idle
This is a CLOSED LOOP mode.
At cruising speed, or idle, with the engine at operating temperature, the PCM receives inputs from:
- Air Conditioning Control Position
- Battery voltage
- Camshaft position (CMP) sensor
- Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
- Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S)
Based on these inputs the following occurs:
- The fuel injectors are fired by the PCM and ICM switching the ground path to control injection sequence and injector pulse width.
- The PCM monitors the oxygen sensor input and adjusts air/fuel ratio, adjusts engine idle speed, and controls ignition timing. The PCM adjusts the air/fuel ratio by controlling the injector pulse width, adjusts the engine idle speed by controlling the automatic idle speed motor, and adjusts the ignition timing through the ignition control module.
