    The document provides an overview of the electronic engine control (EEC) system, which uses a powertrain control module (PCM) and onboard diagnostics (OBD) system to optimize engine and transmission control. Some vehicles use a standalone transmission control module (TCM) that communicates with other modules over the controller area network. The TCM independently processes and stores diagnostic trouble codes. The EEC system hardware includes sensors, actuators, and the PCM, while the software in the PCM provides strategy control. The document lists some transmissions that use a TCM and warns that modifications to OBD vehicles could cause incorrect operation of the system.

    2007 PCED On Board Diagnostics SECTION 1: Description and Operation

    Procedure revision date: 03/29/2006

    Electronic Engine Control (EEC) System


    Overview
    The EEC system provides optimum control of the engine and transmission through the enhanced capability
    of the powertrain control module (PCM). The EEC system also has an on board diagnostics (OBD)
    monitoring system with features and functions to meet federal regulations on exhaust emissions.

    Some vehicle applications use a stand-alone transmission control module (TCM). Even though it is still part
    of the EEC system, the TCM communicates with the PCM, the anti-lock brake system (ABS) module, the
    instrument cluster, and the four-wheel drive (4WD) control modules using the high speed controller area
    network (CAN) communications network. The TCM incorporates a stand alone OBD-II system. The TCM
    independently processes and stores diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), freeze frame, support PIDs as well as
    J1979 Mode 09 CALID and calibration verification number. The TCM does not directly illuminate the
    malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), but requests the PCM to do so. The TCM is located inside the transmission
    assembly. It is not repairable, with the exception of reprogramming.

    Below is a list of transmissions that use a TCM:

     AWF21 (FWD) 6-speed automatic transmission


     FNR5 (FWD) transmission
     F21 (FWD) transmission
     ZF CFT30 (FWD) continuously variable transmission (CVT)
     ZF 6HP26 (RWD) transmission
     ZF 6R (RWD)
     6R60 (RWD)

    For additional information on these transmissions and TCM diagnostics, refer to the Workshop Manual
    Section 307-01, Automatic Transmission/Transaxle.

    The EEC system has 2 major divisions: hardware and software. The hardware includes the PCM, sensors,
    switches, actuators, solenoids, and interconnecting terminals. The software in the PCM provides the
    strategy control for outputs (engine hardware) based on the values of the inputs to the PCM. The EEC
    hardware and software are discussed in this section.

    This section contains detailed descriptions of the operation of the EEC system input sensors and switches,
    output actuators, solenoids, relays and connector pins (including other power-ground signals). For additional
    information on the input sensors and output actuators, refer to Engine Control Components in this section.

    The PCM receives information from a variety of sensor and switch inputs. Based on the strategy and
    calibration stored within the memory chip, the PCM generates the appropriate output. The system is
    designed to minimize emissions and optimize fuel economy and driveability. The software strategy controls
    the basic operation of the engine and transmission, provides the OBD strategy, controls the MIL,
    communicates to the scan tool via the data link connector (DLC), allows for flash electrically erasable
    programmable read only memory (EEPROM), provides idle air and fuel trim, and controls failure mode
    effects management (FMEM).

    Modifications to OBD Vehicles


    Modifications or additions to the vehicle may cause incorrect operation of the OBD system. Install anti-theft
    systems, remote starters, cellular telephones and aftermarket radios carefully. Do not install these devices
    by tapping into or running wires close to the powertrain control system wires or components.
