Cruise Mode
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is a Closed Loop mode. At cruising speed, the PCM receives inputs from:
- Air Conditioning Select Signal (If Equipped)
- Air Conditioning Request Signal (If Equipped)
- Battery Voltage
- Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Intake Manifold Air Temperature Sensor
- Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
- Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft Position Sensor Signal
- Park/Neutral Switch (Gear Indicator Signal-Auto. Trans. Only)
- Oxygen (O2S) Sensors
Based on these inputs, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then adjust the injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector on and off.
- The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and adjusts air-fuel ratio. It also adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil(s) on and off.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
