Engine Start-Up (Cranking)
This is an OPEN LOOP mode.
When the starter motor is engaged, the PCM receives input from:
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor
- Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
- Intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position (CMP) sensor
- Starter relay
Based on these inputs the PCM will:
- Monitor crankshaft and camshaft position sensor. If signals are not received within 1 second, the PCM will shut down the ASD and fuel pump relays.
- Supply the injectors with a ground path, firing all injectors until the PCM determines crankshaft position.
- Fire injectors in sequence, once PCM has determined crankshaft position.
- Compare 0 RPM MAP sensor reading to idle speed MAP sensor reading. If the PCM does not detect a minimum difference it will set a Diagnostic Trouble Code.
- Determine proper ignition timing.
