Computerized Engine Controls: Notes

All engines use Sequential Multiport Fuel Injection (SFI) and Distributorless Ignition System (DIS) controlled by Engine Control Module (ECM). Input devices supply ECM with signals which indicate operating conditions of the vehicle. ECM output signals control systems which control vehicle operation to optimize emission control and vehicle performance. On vehicles equipped with automatic transmission/transaxles, ECM also sends outputs to, and receives inputs from, Transmission Control Module (TCM).
