Fuel and Emissions System Description

Electronic Control System

The functions of the fuel and emission control systems are managed by the Engine Control Module (ECM) on vehicles with manual transmissions or the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on vehicles with automatic transmissions.

Fail-safe Function

When an abnormality occurs in a signal from a sensor, the ECM/PCM ignores that signal and assumes a pre-programmed value for that sensor that allows the engine to continue to run.

Back-up Function

When an abnormality occurs in the ECM/PCM, the injectors are controlled by a back-up circuit independent of the system to permit minimal driving.

Self-diagnosis

When an abnormality occurs in the signal from a sensor, the ECM/PCM supplies ground for the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) and stores the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in erasable memory. When the ignition is first turned on, the ECM/PCM supplies ground for the MIL for 2 seconds to check the MIL bulb condition.

Two Driving Cycle Detection Method

To prevent false indications, the ‘‘two driving cycle detection method'' is used for some self-diagnostic functions. When an abnormality occurs, the ECM/PCM stores it in its memory. When the same abnormality recurs after the ignition switch is turned OFF and ON (II) again, the ECM/PCM informs the driver by turning on the MIL.

ECM/PCM Data

You can retrieve data from the ECM/PCM by connecting the scan tool or the Honda PGM Tester to the Data Link Connector (DLC). The items listed in the table below conform to SAE recommended practice. The Honda PGM Tester also reads data beyond that recommended by SAE so that this data may help you find the causes of intermittent problems.

NOTE:

The ‘‘operating values'' listed are approximate and may vary depending on the environment and the individual vehicle.
Unless noted otherwise, ‘‘at idle speed'' means idling with the engine completely warmed up, A/T in Park or neutral, M/T in neutral position, and the A/C and all accessories turned off.

Data Description Operating Value Freeze Data
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) If the ECM/PCM detects a problem, it will store it as a code consisting of one letter and four numbers. Depending on the problem, an SAE-defined code (P0xxx) or a Honda-defined code (P1xxx) will be output to the tester. If no problem is detected, there is no output. YES
Engine Speed The ECM/PCM computes engine speed from the signals sent from the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor. This data is used for determining the time and amount of injected fuel. Nearly the same as tachometer indication
At idle speed:
L12A1 engine 700±50 rpm (min^-1)
L13A1, L13A2 engine:
M/T: 650±50 rpm (min^-1)
L13A1, L13A2 engine: M/T: 650±50 rpm (min^-1)
A/T: 750±50 rpm (min^-1) YES
Vehicle Speed The ECM/PCM converts pulse signals from the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS). Nearly the same as speedometer indication YES
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) The absolute pressure caused in the intake manifold by engine load and speed. With engine stopped: Nearly the same as atmospheric pressure
At idle speed: about 20-34 kPa (150-260 mmHg, 6-10 in.Hg), 0.7-1.1 V YES
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) The ECT sensor converts coolant temperature into voltage and signals the ECM/PCM. The sensor is a thermistor whose internal resistance changes with coolant temperature. The ECM/PCM uses the voltage signals from the ECT sensor to determine the amount of injected fuel. With cold engine: Same as ambient temperature and IAT
With engine warmed up: about 80-100°C (176-212°F), 0.5-0.8 V YES
Primary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Primary HO2S), (Sensor 1) Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Secondary HO2S) (Sensor 2) The HO2S detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas and sends voltage signals to the ECM/PCM. Based on these signals, the ECM/PCM controls the air fuel ratio. When the oxygen content is high (that is, when the ratio is leaner than the stoichiometric ratio), the voltage signal is lower. When the oxygen content is low (that is, when the radio is richer than the stoichiometric ratio), the voltage signal is higher. 0.0-1.25 V
At idle speed:
about 0.1-0.9 V NO

ECM/PCM Data (cont'd)

Data Description Operating Value Freeze Data
Fuel System Status Fuel system status is indicated as ''open'' or ''closed''.
Closed: Based on the A/F sensor and HO2S output, the ECM/PCM determines the air/fuel ratio and controls the amount of injected fuel.
Open: ignoring the A/F sensor and HO2S output, the ECM/PCM refers to signals from the Throttle Position (TP), Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP), Intake Air Temperature (IAT), Barometric Pressure (BARO) and Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensors to control the amount of injected fuel. At idle speed: closed YES
Short Term Fuel Trim The air/fuel ratio correction coefficient for correcting the amount of injected fuel when the Fuel System Status is ''closed.'' When the ratio is leaner than the stoichiometric ratio, the ECM/PCM increases short term fuel trim gradually, and the amount of injected fuel increases. The air/fuel ratio gradually gets richer, causing a lower oxygen content in the exhaust gas. Consequently, the short term fuel trim is lowered, and the ECM/PCM reduces the amount of injected fuel.
This cycle keeps the air/fuel ratio close to the stoichiometric ratio when in closed loop status. 0.70-1.47 YES
Long Term Fuel Trim Long term fuel trim is computed from short term fuel trim and indicates changes occurring in the fuel supply system over a long period.
If long term fuel trim is higher than 1.00, the amount of injected fuel must be increased. If it is lower than 1.00, the amount of injected fuel must be reduced. 0.80-1.20 YES
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) The IAT sensor converts intake air temperature into voltage and signals the ECM/PCM. When intake air temperature is low, the internal resistance of the sensor increases, and the voltage signal is higher. With cold engine:
Same as ambient temperature and ECT YES
Throttle Position Based on the accelerator pedal position, the opening angle of the throttle valve is indicated. At idle speed:
about 10 %, 0.5 V YES
Ignition Timing Ignition timing is the ignition advance angle set by the ECM/PCM. The ECM/PCM matches ignition timing to the driving conditions. At idle speed: 8° ± 5°
BTDC when the SCS service signal line is jumped with the Honda PGM tester NO
Caluculated Load Valve (CLV) CLV is the engine load calculated from the MAP data. At idle speed:
12-34%
At 2,500 rpm (min^-1) with no load:
15-25% YES

Vacuum Hose Routing

Vacuum Distribution

PGM-FI System

The Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system is a sequential multiport fuel injection system.

Air Conditioning (A/C) Compressor Clutch Relay

When the Engine Control Module (ECM)/Powertrain Control Module (PCM) receives a demand for cooling from the AC system, it delays the compressor from being energized, and enriches the mixture to assure smooth transition to the A/C mode.

Alternator Control

The alternator signals the ECM/PCM during charging.

Barometric Pressure (BARO) Sensor

The BARO sensor is inside the ECM/PCM. It converts atmospheric pressure into a voltage signal that modifies the basic duration of the fuel injection discharge.

Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor

The CKP sensor detects engine speed and determines ignition timing and timing for fuel injection of each cylinder.

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor

The ECT sensor is a temperature dependent resistor (thermistor). The resistor of the thermistor decreases as the engine coolant temperature increases.

i-DSI System

The ECM/PCM controls the ignition phase gap between the front and rear spark plugs in accordance with the engine speed and the vacuum in the intake manifold.

At idling, both the front and rear spark plugs ignite simultaneously for faster combustion speed and the resulting improvement of the fuel consumption.
At low speed with low load operation, the ECM/PCM advances the ignition timing at the front side spark plug, where the combustion chamber temperature is relatively low, to improve the fuel consumption.
At low speed with high load operation, ignition timing is advanced at the front side spark plug and it is retarded at the rear side to improve torque while controlling the engine knocking.
At high speed, both the front and rear spark plugs ignite simultaneously for faster combustion speed and the resulting improvement of the power.

Ignition Timing Control

The ECM/PCM contains the memory for basic ignition timing at various engine speeds and manifold absolute pressure. It also adjusts the timing according to engine coolant temperature.

Injector Timing and Duration

The ECM/PCM contains the memory for basic discharge duration at various engine speeds and manifold pressures. The basic discharge duration, after being read out from the memory, is further modified by signals sent from various sensors to obtain the final discharge duration.
By monitoring long term fuel trim, the ECM/PCM detects long term malfunctions in the fuel system, and will set a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).

Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor

The IAT sensor is a temperature dependant resistor (thermistor). The resistance of the thermistor decreases as the intake air temperature increases.

Knock Sensor

The knock control system adjusts the ignition timing to minimize knock.

Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor

The MAP sensor converts manifold absolute pressure into electrical signals to the ECM/PCM.

Primary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Primary HO2S)

The primary HO2S detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas and sends signals to the ECM/PCM which varies the duration of fuel injection accordingly. To stabilize its output, the sensor has an internal heater. The primary HO2S is installed in the exhaust manifold. By controlling the air fuel ratio with primary HO2S and secondary HO2S, the deterioration of the primary HO2S can be evaluated by its feedback period. When the feedback period exceeds a certain value during stable driving conditions, the sensor is considered deteriorated and the ECM/PCM sets a DTC.

Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Secondary HO2S)

The secondary HO2S detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas downstream of the Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) and sends signals to the ECM/PCM which varies the duration of fuel injection accordingly. To stabilize its output, the sensor has an internal heater. The secondary HO2S is installed in the TWC.

Starting Control

When the engine is started, the ECM/PCM provides a rich mixture by increasing injector duration.

Throttle Position (TP) Sensor

The TP sensor is a potentiometer connected to the throttle valve shaft. As the throttle position changes, the sensor varies the signal voltage to the ECM/PCM. The TP sensor is not replaceable apart from the throttle body.

Top Dead Center (TDC) Sensor

The TDC sensor detects the position of the No. 1 cylinder as a reference for sequential fuel injection to each cylinder.

Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) (M/T model only)

The VSS is driven by the differential. It generates a pulsed signal from an input of 5 volts. The number of pulses per minute increases/decreases with the speed of the vehicle.

Idle Control System

When the engine is cold, the A/C compressor is on, the transmission is in gear, the brake pedal is pressed, the power steering load is high, or the alternator is charging, the ECM/PCM controls current to the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve to maintain the correct idle speed. Refer to the System Diagram to see the functional layout of the system.

Brake Pedal Position Switch

The brake pedal position switch signals the ECM/PCM when the brake pedal is pressed.

Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve

To maintain the proper idle speed, the IAC valve changes the amount of air bypassing the throttle body in response to an electrical signal from the ECM/PCM.

Fuel Supply System

Fuel Cut-off Control

During deceleration with the throttle valve closed, current to the injectors is cut off to improve fuel economy at speeds over 900 rpm (min^-1). Fuel cut-off action also occurs when engine speed exceeds 6,200 rpm (min^-1), regardless of the position of the throttle valve, to protect the engine from over-revving. When the vehicle is stopped, the PCM cuts the fuel at engine speeds over 6,200 rpm (min^-1).

Fuel Pump Control

When the ignition is turned on, the ECM/PCM grounds the PGM-FI main relay which feeds current to the fuel pump for 2 seconds to pressurize the fuel system. With the engine running, the ECM/PCM grounds the PGM-FI main relay and feeds current to the fuel pump. When the engine is not running and the ignition is on, the ECM/PCM cuts ground to the PGM-FI main relay which cuts current to the fuel pump.

PGM-FI Main Relay 1 and 2

The PGM-FI relay consists of two separate relays. The PGM-FI main relay 1 is energized whenever the ignition switch is ON (II) which supplies battery voltage to the ECM/PCM, power to the injectors, and power for the PGM-FI main relay 2. The PGM-FI main relay 2 is energized to supply power to the fuel pump for 2 seconds when the ignition switch is turned ON (II), and when the engine is running.

Intake Air System

Refer to the System Diagram to see the functional layout of the system.

Throttle Body

The throttle body is a single-barrel side draft type. The lower portion of the IAC valve is heated by engine coolant from the cylinder head.

Catalytic Converter System

Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC)

The TWC converts hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the exhaust gas to carbon dioxide (CO2), dinitrogen (N2), and water vapor.

Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) System

The PCV valve prevents blow-by gasses from escaping into the atmosphere by venting them into the intake manifold.

Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control System

Refer to the System Diagram to see the functional layout of the system.

EVAP Canister

The EVAP canister temporarily stores fuel vapor from the fuel tank until it can be purged back into the engine and burned (refer to the System Diagram to see the functional layout of the system).

EVAP Canister Purge Valve

When the engine coolant temperature is below 70°C (158°F), the ECM/PCM turns off the EVAP canister purge valve which cuts vacuum to the EVAP canister.

Idle Control System Diagram

The idle speed of the engine is controlled by the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve:

After the engine starts, the IAC valve opens for a certain amount of time. The amount of air is increased to raise the idle speed.
When the engine coolant temperature is low, the IAC valve is opened to obtain the proper fast idle speed. The amount of bypassed air is thus controlled in relation to engine coolant temperature.

Intake Air System Diagram

This system supplies air for engine needs. A resonator in the intake air pipe provides additional silencing as air is drawn into the system.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System Diagram

The EGR system reduces oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions by recirculating exhaust gas through the EGR valve and the intake manifold into the combustion chambers. The ECM/PCM memory includes the ideal EGR valve position for varying operating conditions.

The EGR valve position sensor detects the amount of EGR valve lift and sends it to the ECM/PCM. The ECM/PCM then compares it with the ideal lift in its memory (based on signals sent from other sensors). If there is any difference between the two, the ECM/PCM cuts current to the EGR valve.

Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control Diagram

The EVAP controls minimize the amount of fuel vapor escaping to the atmosphere. Vapor from the fuel tank is temporally stored in the EVAP canister until it can be purged from the EVAP canister into the engine and burned.

The EVAP canister is purged by drawing fresh air through it and into a port on the intake manifold.
The purging vacuum is controlled by the EVAP canister purge valve, which operates whenever engine coolant temperature is above 70°C (158°F).
When vapor pressure in the fuel tank is higher than the set value of the EVAP two way valve, the valve opens and regulates the flow of fuel vapor to the EVAP canister.
