 INTRODUCTION

This ASE Composite Vehicle Type 4 was conceived and built by technical committees of industry experts
to accommodate high level diagnostic questions on the L1 test. While some aspects of this Composite
Vehicle may appear similar to vehicles from a number of manufacturers, it is important to understand this
vehicle is a unique design and is NOT intended to represent any specific make or model. This reference
document should be used when answering questions identified as Composite Vehicle questions.

Note: All testing is performed at sea level unless otherwise indicated. The reference materials and
questions for this test use terms and acronyms that are consistent with SAE standards J1930 and J2012.

POWERTRAIN

ENGINE
Generic, four-stroke, V6 design.
Equipped with four chain-driven overhead camshafts, 24 valves, hydraulic valve lifters, variable intake
camshaft timing, and variable intake valve lift.

TRANSMISSION
6-speed, automatic transaxle with overdrive.
Controlled by a transmission control module (TCM).
3 planetary gear sets, 5 clutch packs, and a single one-way clutch.
6 forward gears and 1 reverse gear.
A torque converter transmits power from the engine to the transmission and is capable of lock-up in
3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th gears.
Contains an electronic pressure control (EPC) solenoid, 5 shift solenoids, and a torque converter
clutch solenoid.

CONTROL MODULES

ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)

Calculates ignition and fuel requirements, controls engine actuators and provides inputs to other
modules to provide the desired driveability, fuel economy, and emissions control.
Receives data input from other control modules and sensors.
Controls the vehicles charging system.
Receives power from the battery and ignition switch and provides a regulated 5-volt supply for most of
the engine sensors.
Engine control features include coil-on-plug ignition, mass airflow, sequential port fuel injection,
variable valve timing, variable valve lift, electronic throttle actuator control (TAC), air/fuel ratio sensors,
a data communications bus, a vehicle anti-theft immobilizer system, a natural vacuum leak detection
EVAP system and an on-board refueling vapor recovery (ORVR) system.
The control system software and OBD diagnostic procedures stored in the ECM can be updated
using factory supplied calibration files and PC-based interface software, along with a scan tool or a
reprogramming device that connects the PC to the vehicles data link connector (DLC).
Contains a 120 terminating resistor for the data bus.
PAGE 4 ASE COMPOSITE VEHICLE TYPE 4 REFERENCE BOOKLET
FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE (FPCM)
Communicates with the ECM over a Local Area Network (LAN).
ECM provides a 5-volt enable signal to the FPCM to enable fuel pump operation:
for two seconds with the ignition switch in the RUN position.
when the ignition switch is in the START position.
when the engine speed (CKP) signal is above 100 rpm.
FPCM changes the volume of fuel supplied by the fuel pump by varying the duty-cycle of the voltage
supplied to the fuel pump.
LOW fuel pump speed command = fuel pump supply voltage duty-cycled at 50 %.
HIGH fuel pump speed command = fuel pump supply voltage duty-cycled at 100 %.
HIGH fuel pump speed is commanded:
during key ON/engine OFF prime.
with the engine cranking.
under high engine load.
during operation at low charging system voltage.
If there is a communication fault on the LAN bus, and the 5-volt enable signal is present at the FPCM,
the FPCM will default to HIGH speed fuel pump operation.
Actual fuel pump duty cycle is monitored by the FPCM and is reported by the FPCM to the ECM via
the LAN bus.
ECM OFF LOW HIGH
FPCM Feedback 0% 50 % 100 %

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM)

Provides the correct transmission outputs for desired driveability, fuel economy, and emissions control.
Receives data input from other control modules and sensors.
Provides data inputs to other control modules including vehicle speed and gear selection.
Provides its own regulated 5-volt supply.
Performs all OBD II transaxle diagnostic routines and stores transaxle DTCs.
The control system software and OBD diagnostic procedures stored in the TCM can be updated in the
same way as the ECM.
Failures that result in a pending or confirmed DTC related to any of the following components will
cause the TCM to default to fail-safe mode: transmission range switch, electronic pressure control
(EPC), shift solenoids, turbine shaft speed sensor, and the vehicle speed sensor.
The TCM will also default to fail-safe mode if it is unable to communicate with the ECM.
When in fail-safe mode, the TCM commands maximum line pressure and turns off all transmission
solenoids. The transmission then defaults to 5th gear and the torque converter clutch will be
disabled.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MODULE (ICM)

Receives data input from other control modules to display engine rpm, vehicle speed, fuel level, and
coolant temperature.
Includes a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) and an immobilizer indicator.
If the instrument cluster fails to communicate with the ECM and TCM, the MIL is continuously lit.
Contains a 120 terminating resistor for the data bus.

IMMOBILIZER MODULE
Communicates with the ECM.
Provides ignition key information.
See IMMOBILIZER ANTITHEFT SYSTEM on page 7.

ASE COMPOSITE VEHICLE TYPE 4 REFERENCE BOOKLET PAGE 5

 SYSTEMS

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM

The vehicle does not have a mechanical throttle cable, a cruise control throttle actuator, or an idle air
control (IAC) valve.
Throttle opening at all engine speeds and loads is controlled directly by a throttle actuator control
(TAC) motor mounted on the throttle body housing.
Dual accelerator pedal position (APP) sensors provide input from the vehicle operator, while the actual
throttle angle is determined using dual throttle position (TP) sensors.
If one APP sensor or one TP sensor fails, the ECM will turn on the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)
and limit the maximum throttle opening to 35 %.
If both APP sensors or both TP sensors fail, or a correlation error occurs, the ECM will turn on the MIL
and disable the electronic throttle control.
When disabled by the ECM, the electronic throttle control system will default to limp-in operation:
the spring-loaded throttle plate will return to a default position of 15 % throttle opening.
the TAC value on the scan tool will indicate 15 %.
it will have a fast idle speed of 1400 to 1500 rpm, with no load and all accessories off.
Normal no load idle range is 850 to 900 rpm at 5 % to 10 % throttle opening.
No idle relearn procedure is required after component replacement or loss of voltage to the ECM.

EXHAUST SYSTEM
A single exhaust system that is configured using a Y-pipe that connects two front catalysts, a single
downstream catalyst, and a muffler.

FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM

Consists of an ECM, a fuel pump control module (FPCM), a fuel pressure sensor (FPS), and a fuel
pump assembly.
Sequential Multiport Fuel Injection (SFI).
Returnless fuel supply with the electric fuel pump assembly mounted inside the fuel tank.
Fuel pressure regulator attached to the fuel pump assembly to control fuel pressure.
The fuel pump control module (FPCM) supplies duty-cycled, feed-side voltage to the fuel pump.
The fuel pump control module (FPCM) provides feedback to the ECM via a LAN bus.
Key ON/engine OFF fuel pressure = 58 to 62 psi (400 to 427 kPa).
Fuel system pressure should be between 58 to 62 psi (400 to 427 kPa) during all operating
conditions.

PAGE 6 ASE COMPOSITE VEHICLE TYPE 4 REFERENCE BOOKLET

IGNITION SYSTEM
Distributorless Ignition (EI) with six ignition coils (coil-on-plug).
Firing Order: 1-2-3-4-5-6
Cylinders 1, 3, and 5 are on Bank 1; Cylinders 2, 4, and 6 are on Bank 2.
Ignition timing is not adjustable.
Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor input is used for base timing calculation.
ECM controls ignition timing.
Ignition coil drivers are integrated into the ECM.

IMMOBILIZER ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM

When the ignition switch is turned on, the immobilizer control module sends a challenge signal through
the antenna around the ignition switch to the transponder chip in the ignition key. The transponder key
responds with an encrypted key code. The immobilizer control module then decodes the key code and
compares it to the list of registered keys.
When the engine is started, the ECM sends a request to the immobilizer control module over the data
bus to verify the key validity. If the key is valid, the immobilizer control module responds with a valid
key message. The ECM continues normal engine operation.
Once the engine is started with a valid key, the immobilizer system cannot cause engine shutdown.
If an attempt is made to start the vehicle with an invalid ignition key, the immobilizer control module
sends a message over the data bus to the instrument cluster to flash the anti-theft indicator lamp.
Without a valid key message from the immobilizer control module within 2 seconds of engine startup,
the ECM will disable the fuel injectors to kill the engine. Cycling the key off and cranking the engine
again will result in engine restart and stall.
The immobilizer control module and ECM each have their own unique internal ID numbers used to
encrypt their messages, and are programmed at the factory to recognize each other. If either module is
replaced, the scan tool must be used to program the replacement module, using the VIN, the date, and
a factory-assigned PIN number.
Up to eight keys can be registered in the immobilizer control module.
Each key has its own unique internal key code.
If only one valid key is available, or if all keys have been lost, the scan tool can be used to delete lost
keys and register new keys. This procedure also requires the VIN, the date, and a factory-assigned
PIN number.
The immobilizer control module does not require a key ID relearn if battery voltage is lost.
Neither the ECM, TCM, nor the immobilizer control module prevent operation of the starter motor for
anti-theft purposes.

ON-BOARD REFUELING VAPOR RECOVERY (ORVR) EVAP SYSTEM

Causes fuel tank vapors to be directed to the EVAP charcoal canister during refueling, so that fuel
vapors do not escape into the atmosphere.
The following components have been added to the traditional EVAP system for ORVR capability: a
one inch I.D. fill pipe, a one-way check valve at the bottom of the fill pipe, an ORVR vapor control valve
inside the fuel tank, and a 1/2 inch I.D. vent hose from the ORVR vapor control valve to the canister.
The ORVR vapor control valve has a float that rises to seal the vent hose when the fuel tank is full. It
also prevents liquid fuel from reaching the canister and blocks fuel from leaking in the event of a
vehicle roll-over.

ASE COMPOSITE VEHICLE TYPE 4 REFERENCE BOOKLET PAGE 7

FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
Sequential port fuel injection, single injector for each cylinder.
Fuel injectors are located in the intake manifold ports near the intake valves.
Fuel injectors are ground-side controlled.

STARTING MODE
When the ignition switch is turned to RUN, the ECM sends a 5-volt enable signal to the FPCM for two
seconds to build pressure in the fuel system.
If an rpm signal is not received by the ECM within two seconds, the 5-volt enable signal to the FPCM is
turned OFF.
After the two second prime, the ECM will maintain the 5-volt enable signal to the FPCM with the
ignition switch in the START position, or as long as the engine speed (CKP) is 100 rpm or more.

CLEAR FLOOD MODE

During cranking, when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed (pedal position of 80 % or greater) and
the engine speed is below 400 rpm, the ECM turns off the fuel injectors.

RUN MODES: OPEN AND CLOSED LOOP, FUEL CUT OFF

OPEN LOOP - In open loop, the ECM does not use the air/fuel ratio sensor signals. Instead, it
calculates the fuel injector pulse width based on MAF and engine temperature. The system will
stay in open loop until all of these conditions are met:
ten seconds have elapsed since start up.
throttle position is less than 80 %.
CLOSED LOOP - When the ECM receives valid air/fuel ratio signals and the throttle is open
less than 80 %, the system will be in closed loop.
FUEL CUT OFF MODE - The ECM will turn off the fuel injectors if any of the following are met:
vehicle speed reaches 110 mph.
engine speed exceeds 6000 rpm while driving.
engine speed exceeds 3000 rpm in PARK/NEUTRAL.
vehicle is decelerating with engine speed greater than 1500 rpm, engine temperature is
greater than 120 F (49 C), and the throttle is closed (APP less than 10 %).

ABSOLUTE LOAD
The ECM uses the MAF sensor input and stored engine displacement information versus engine
speed to calculate the air charge moving through the engine against a theoretical maximum.
Values of absolute load correlate with volumetric efficiency at wide open throttle (WOT).
Displayed as a percentage in scan data.
Normal absolute load at WOT is 95 %.
Typical values at normal idle are approximately 15 %.

PAGE 8 ASE COMPOSITE VEHICLE TYPE 4 REFERENCE BOOKLET

VARIABLE VALVE LIFT CONTROL SYSTEM
Variable valve lift is used for improved engine efficiency, performance and emissions control.
The ECM controls variable valve lift in relation to engine rpm. Below 3000 rpm, the VVL system will
command motor position to 0 %, base valve lift. Above 3000 rpm, the VVL system will command motor
position to 100 % resulting in an additional 4 mm of valve lift.
Each bank has its own 2-wire motor with position sensors for feedback.
The VVL position sensors will read 0.50 V at low lift (0 % command) and 4.50 V at high lift (100 %
command).
On each intake camshaft, a DC motor is attached to a rod which operates a fulcrum attached to the
rocker arms, effectively changing the rocker arm ratio.
If there are any faults detected in the VVL system, the VVL will be commanded to the low lift position.
Anytime the TAC system is in failsafe mode (disabled), the VVL will also be commanded to the lowest
lift position.
The VVL system is not used to control idle speed.

VARIABLE VALVE TIMING SYSTEM

A single timing chain drives the intake and exhaust cams of both banks of the engine.
Intake camshaft timing is continuously variable using a hydraulic actuator attached to the front end of
each intake camshaft. Engine oil flow to each hydraulic actuator is controlled by a camshaft position
actuator control solenoid.
The exhaust camshaft timing is fixed.
Camshaft timing is determined by the ECM using the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor and camshaft
position sensor (CMP 1 and CMP 2) signals.
At idle, the intake camshafts are fully retarded and valve overlap is zero degrees.
At higher speeds and loads, the intake camshafts can be advanced up to 40 crankshaft degrees.
Each intake camshaft has a separate camshaft position sensor, hydraulic actuator, and control
solenoid.
If little or no oil pressure is received by a hydraulic actuator (typically at engine startup,
at idle speed, or during a fault condition), it is designed to mechanically default to the fully retarded
position (zero valve overlap), and is held in that position by a spring-loaded locking pin.

 INPUTS - SENSORS
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP 1 AND APP 2) SENSORS
A pair of redundant non-adjustable potentiometers that sense accelerator pedal position.
Located on the accelerator pedal assembly.
APP 1 sensor output varies from 0.5 volts (pedal released) to 3.5 volts (pedal fully pressed);
increasing voltage with increasing pedal position.
APP 2 sensor output varies from 1.5 volts (pedal released) to 4.5 volts (pedal fully pressed);
increasing voltage with increasing pedal position, offset from the APP 1 sensor signal by 1.0 volt.
ECM interprets an APP of 80 % or greater as a request for wide open throttle.
A circuit failure of one APP sensor will set a DTC and the ECM will limit the maximum throttle opening
to 35 %.
A circuit failure of both APP sensors, or a correlation error, will set a DTC and disable the TAC.
When disabled, the spring-loaded throttle plate will return to the default 15 % position (fast idle).

AIR/FUEL RATIO SENSORS (AFRS 1/1 AND AFRS 2/1)

Planar-type AFR sensor used by the ECM to measure the air/fuel ratio of the exhaust stream.
AFRS 1/1 located on the Bank 1 exhaust manifold (cylinders 1, 3, and 5).
AFRS 2/1 located on the Bank 2 exhaust manifold (cylinders 2, 4, and 6).
Perfectly balanced air/fuel mixture at 14.7:1 (Lambda 1) = 2.5 volts displayed on the scan tool.
Lean air/fuel mixture at 20:1 (Lambda 1.36) = 4.3 volts displayed on the scan tool.
Rich air/fuel mixture at 11:1 (Lambda 0.75) = 1.3 volts displayed on the scan tool.
ECM monitors polarity and quantity of current to the sensor to determine air/fuel ratio in the exhaust.
Perfectly balanced air/fuel mixture at 14.7:1 (Lambda 1) = no sensor current produced.
Rich air/fuel mixture = the sensor produces a negative current between zero and -2000 microamps.
Lean air/fuel mixture = the sensor produces a positive current between zero and +3000 microamps.
Battery voltage is continuously supplied to the air/fuel ratio sensor heaters when ignition switch is ON.
The ECM supplies a pulse width modulated ground to the heaters to control the temperature of the
sensor. The duty cycle displayed on the scan tool represents the percent of heater current on time.
The ECM monitors the AFR heater current.
The normal AFRS heater resistance is 2-6 at 68 F (20 C).

Located on the brake pedal.

ASE COMPOSITE VEHICLE TYPE 4 REFERENCE BOOKLET PAGE 11

CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS (CMP 1 AND CMP 2)
A pair of three-wire solid state Hall-effect sensors that generate a signal once per intake camshaft
revolution.
Located at the rear of each valve cover, the sensors are triggered by an interrupter on the
intake camshafts.
The leading edge of the bank 1 CMP signal occurs on the cylinder 1 compression stroke, and the
leading edge of the bank 2 CMP signal occurs on the cylinder 4 compression stroke.
When the intake camshafts are fully retarded (zero valve overlap), the CMP signals switch from
0 to +5 volts at top dead center compression stroke of cylinders 1 and 4 respectively. When the intake
camshafts are fully advanced (maximum valve overlap), the signals switch at 40 crankshaft degrees
before top dead center. These signals allow the ECM to determine fuel injector and ignition coil
sequence, as well as the actual intake valve timing.
Loss of one CMP signal will set a DTC, and valve timing defaults to the fully retarded position (zero
valve overlap). If neither CMP signal is detected during cranking, the ECM stores a DTC and disables
the fuel injectors, resulting in a no-start condition.
The sensors are not adjustable.
The diagram at the bottom of this page shows the CKP and CMP sensor signal waveforms with the
camshafts at the default (fully retarded) position.

CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR

A magnetic-type sensor that generates 35 pulses for each crankshaft revolution.
Located on the front engine cover.
Triggered by a reluctor wheel mounted on the crankshaft, behind the balancer pulley.
Each tooth is ten crankshaft degrees apart, with one space for a missing tooth located at 60 degrees
before top dead center of cylinder number 1.
The diagram at the bottom of this page shows the CKP sensor signal waveform.

 OUTPUTS - ACTUATORS
CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR CONTROL SOLENOIDS
A pair of duty-cycle controlled solenoid valves that modify the valve timing of the intake camshafts by
controlling engine oil flow to the camshaft position actuators.

VFS = Variable Force Solenoid NL = Normally Low OR = Over Running

NC = Normally Closed NH = Normally High

Normally Low (NL): When this solenoid type is OFF (not energized), fluid pressure is low, fluid is exhausted
from the circuit, and the clutch is not applied. When the solenoid is ON (energized), the TCM increases the
fluid pressure by varying the solenoid duty cycle and the clutch is applied.

Normally High (NH): When this solenoid type is OFF (not energized), fluid pressure is high in the fluid circuit
and the clutch is applied. When the solenoid is ON (energized), the TCM reduces the fluid pressure by
varying the solenoid duty cycle and the clutch is released.

Normally Closed (NC): This solenoid type is either ON or OFF and controls a three-port hydraulic circuit to
aid in shift strategy. Regulated line pressure is switched between two hydraulic ports, a default passage, and a
primary passage. When this solenoid type is OFF (not energized), oil is blocked from the primary oil passage
and fed to a default passage. When the solenoid is ON (energized), the TCM redirects the fluid pressure to the
primary oil passage.

SYSTEM MONITORS
The OBD diagnostic system also actively tests some systems for proper operation while the vehicle is
being driven. Fuel control and engine misfire are checked continuously. Air/fuel ratio sensor response,
air/fuel ratio sensor heater operation, oxygen sensor response, oxygen sensor heater operation, catalyst
efficiency, EGR operation and EVAP integrity are tested once or more per trip. When any of the System
Monitors detects a failure that will result in emissions exceeding a predetermined level on two consecutive
trips, the ECM will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL). Freeze frame data captured during the first of the two consecutive failures is also stored.

AIR/FUEL RATIO & OXYGEN SENSORS

Checks the maximum and minimum signal output and response times for all air/fuel ratio sensors and
oxygen sensors.
If an air/fuel ratio sensor or oxygen sensor signal remains too low, too high, responds too slowly, or
does not respond, a DTC is set.

AIR/FUEL RATIO & OXYGEN SENSOR HEATERS

Checks the current flow through each air/fuel ratio sensor heater and the oxygen sensor heater.
If the current flow is too high or too low, a DTC is set.
Battery voltage is continuously supplied to the air/fuel ratio sensor heaters and oxygen sensor heaters
whenever the ignition switch is on.
The heaters are grounded through the ECM.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
Compares the data from the heated air/fuel ratio sensors (upstream) to the heated oxygen sensors
(downstream) to determine the oxygen storage capability of the catalysts.
If a catalysts oxygen storage capacity is sufficiently degraded, the ECM will store the appropriate DTC
and illuminate the MIL.
Will run only after the air/fuel ratio sensor heater, oxygen sensor heater, air fuel ratio sensor and
oxygen sensor monitors have run and passed.

COMPREHENSIVE COMPONENT
Continuous monitor of all engine and transmission sensors and actuators for shorts and opens,
as well as values that do not logically fit with other powertrain data (rationality).
On the first trip where a failure is detected, the ECM or TCM will store a DTC. The ECM will then store
a freeze frame of data and illuminate the MIL.

EGR SYSTEM
Uses the MAP sensor signal to detect changes in intake manifold pressure as the EGR valve is
commanded open and closed.
If the pressure changes too little or too much as compared to the EGR valve position sensor input, a
DTC is set.

ENGINE MISFIRE
Uses the CKP sensor signal to continuously detect engine misfires, both severe and non-severe.
If the misfire is severe enough to cause catalytic converter damage, the MIL will flash on and off as
long as the severe misfire is detected.

ASE COMPOSITE VEHICLE TYPE 4 REFERENCE BOOKLET PAGE 23

EVAP SYSTEM
Tests for small leaks (0.020 in./0.5 mm) and large leaks (.040 in./1.0 mm).

Engine off, natural vacuum leak detection is used to test for a small leak (0.020 in./0.5 mm).
Enable criteria for the small leak test:
the vehicle must have been driven between 15 to 90 minutes.
fuel level must be between 1/4 and 3/4 full.
ambient air temperature must be between 40 F (4.4 C) and 105 F (40 C).
the key is OFF/the engine is OFF.
When the key is turned OFF, the vent solenoid is left open for ten minutes to allow the system
to stabilize. The ECM then notes the fuel tank pressure (FTP).
The ECM then energizes the EVAP vent solenoid for four minutes while monitoring the fuel
tank pressure (FTP) sensor for a pressure change.
If the system reaches the target value, a change of greater than 1.0 in. H2O from the stabilized
reading, the test is complete and the system passes (no leak detected).
If the system fails to pass the initial small leak test, the ECM will then command the EVAP vent
solenoid open for two minutes. The ECM then notes the fuel tank pressure (FTP).
The ECM then energizes the EVAP vent solenoid for 20 minutes while monitoring the FTP
sensor for change.
A change in fuel tank pressure of greater than 1.0 in. H2O indicates a pass (no leak detected).

Vacuum decay is used to test for a large leak (.040 in./1.0 mm).
Enable criteria for the large leak test:
a cold start with engine temperature below 86 F (30 C).
fuel level must be between 1/4 and 3/4 full.
ambient air temperature must be between 40 F (4.4 C) and 105 F (40 C).
the engine is running.
The ECM turns on the EVAP vent solenoid, blocking the fresh air supply to the EVAP canister.
The EVAP purge solenoid is turned on to draw a slight vacuum on the entire EVAP system,
including the fuel tank.
Then the EVAP purge solenoid is turned off to seal the system.
The monitor uses the Fuel Tank (EVAP) Pressure Sensor signal to determine if the EVAP
system has any leaks.
After the testing is completed, the EVAP vent solenoid is turned off to relieve the vacuum.

A small leak DTC will set if a sufficient change in fuel tank pressure is not achieved during the small
leak test.
A large leak DTC will set if sufficient vacuum is not created, or decays too rapidly, or does not decay
quickly at the conclusion of the large leak test.

FUEL CONTROL
Uses fuel trim and loop status to determine failures in the fuel system.
Sets a DTC if the system fails to enter Closed Loop mode within 2 minutes of startup.
Sets a DTC if Long Term Fuel Trim reaches its limit (+30 % or -30 %) indicating a loss of fuel control.

PAGE 24 ASE COMPOSITE VEHICLE TYPE 4 REFERENCE BOOKLET

MONITOR READINESS STATUS
Indicates whether or not the OBD diagnostic monitor has completed.
If the monitor has not completed, the status on the scan tool displays NOT COMPLETE.
If the monitor has completed, the status on the scan tool displays COMPLETE.
When DTCs are cleared from memory or the battery is disconnected, all non-continuous monitors will
have the readiness status indicators reset to NOT COMPLETE.
The readiness status of the following non-continuous system monitors can be read on the scan tool:
Catalytic Converter
EGR System
EVAP System
Oxygen Sensors
Oxygen Sensor Heaters

WARM UP CYCLE
Used by the ECM and TCM for automatic clearing of DTCs and Freeze Frame data (described below).
Must have an increase of at least 40 F (an increase of 22 C) and reach a minimum of 160 F (71 C).

TRIP
A key-on cycle in which all enable criteria for a diagnostic monitor are met and the monitor is run.
The trip completes when the ignition switch is turned off.

DRIVE CYCLE
Most OBD monitors will run at some time during normal operation of the vehicle. However, to satisfy all
of the different Trip enable criteria and run all of the OBD diagnostic monitors, the vehicle must be driven
under a variety of conditions. The following drive cycle will allow all monitors to run on this vehicle.
Ensure that the fuel tank is between 1/4 and 3/4 full.
Engine cold start below 86 F (30 C).
Engine warm up until coolant temperature is at least 160 F (71 C).
Accelerate to 40-55 mph at 25 % throttle and maintain speed for 5 minutes.
Decelerate without using the brake (coast down) to 20 mph or less, and then stop the vehicle. Allow
the engine to idle for 10 seconds, turn the key off, and wait 1 minute.
Restart and accelerate to 40-55 mph at 25 % throttle and maintain speed for 2 minutes.
Decelerate without using the brake (coast down) to 20 mph or less, and then stop the vehicle. Allow
the engine to idle for 10 seconds, turn the key off, and wait 45 minutes.

FREEZE FRAME DATA

A snapshot (one frame of data) that is automatically stored in the memory of either the ECM or TCM
when an emission-related DTC is first stored (pending).
If a DTC for fuel control or engine misfire is stored at a later time, the newest data is stored, replacing
the earlier data.
All parameter ID (PID) values listed under Scan Tool Data are stored in freeze frame data.
The ECM and TCM store only one single freeze frame record.

ASE COMPOSITE VEHICLE TYPE 4 REFERENCE BOOKLET PAGE 25

STORING AND CLEARING DTCS & FREEZE FRAME DATA, TURNING
THE MIL ON & OFF
ONE TRIP MONITORS
A failure on the first trip of a one trip emissions diagnostic monitor causes the ECM or TCM to
immediately store a confirmed DTC, capture Freeze Frame data, and turn on the MIL.
All Comprehensive Component Monitor faults set a confirmed DTC on one trip.
TWO TRIP MONITORS
A failure on the first trip of a two trip emissions diagnostic monitor causes the ECM to store a pending
DTC and Freeze Frame data.
Normally, if the failure recurs on the next trip during which the monitor runs, regardless of the engine
conditions, the ECM will store a confirmed DTC and turn on the MIL.
For the misfire and fuel control monitors, if the failure recurs on the next trip during which the monitor
runs and where conditions are similar to those experienced when the fault first occurred (engine speed
within 375 rpm, engine load within 20 %, and same hot/cold warm-up status), the ECM will store a
confirmed DTC and turn on the MIL.
If the second failure does not recur as described above, the pending DTC and Freeze Frame data are
cleared from memory.
All of the System Monitors are two trip monitors.
Engine misfire which is severe enough to damage the catalytic converter is a two trip monitor. The MIL
will always flash on and off when the severe misfire is occurring.

AUTOMATIC CLEARING
When the vehicle completes three consecutive good/passing trips (three consecutive trips in which
the monitor that set the DTC is run and passes), the MIL will be turned off, but the confirmed DTC and
Freeze Frame will remain stored in ECM/TCM memory.
For misfire and fuel control monitor faults, the three consecutive good/passing trips must take place
under similar engine conditions (engine speed, load, and warm up condition) as the initial fault for the
MIL to be turned off.
If the vehicle completes 40 Warm Up cycles without the same fault recurring, the DTC and Freeze
Frame are automatically cleared from the ECM/TCM memory.

MANUAL CLEARING
Any stored DTCs and Freeze Frame data can be erased using the scan tool, and the MIL (if lit) will be
turned off.
Although not the recommended method, DTCs and Freeze Frame data will also be cleared if the
B+ power supply for the ECM/TCM is lost, or the battery is disconnected.

SCAN TOOL
Can be used to communicate with the ECM, TCM, Immobilizer, and Instrument Cluster modules.
Module reprogramming and initialization can be performed using the scan tool.
The ECM, TCM, and instrument cluster are equipped with software that allows requests to be made
through the OBD scan tool for output control of components and functional testing of systems.

Note: All testing is performed at sea level unless otherwise indicated.
