necessary position. This signal is sent over the PCI
Bus to the instrument cluster.
TORQUE MANAGEMENT
OPERATION
The PCM receives the torque management input
from the transmission control module. The PCM
receives the input when the transmission shifts
gears. In response, the PCM shuts off a number of
fuel injectors when the transmission shifts gears.
5 VOLT SUPPLY—PCM OUTPUT
OPERATION
The PCM supplies 5 volts to the following sensors:
• A/C pressure transducer
• Engine coolant temperature sensor
• Manifold absolute pressure sensor
• Throttle position sensor
• Linear EGR solenoid
8-VOLT SUPPLY—PCM OUTPUT
OPERATION
The PCM supplies 8 volts to the crankshaft posi-
tion sensor, camshaft position sensor.
