Engine Warm-Up Mode
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
This is an Open Loop mode. During engine warm-up, the PCM receives inputs from:
- Direct battery voltage
- CKP sensor
- ECT sensor
- Manifold IAT sensor
- MAP sensor
- Throttle Position Sensors (TPS)
- CMP sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal)
- APPS sensor
- Air Conditioning (A/C) select signal (if equipped)
- A/C request signal (if equipped)
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 control the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector on and off.
- The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) motor and adjusts ignition timing accordingly.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This is done if A/C has been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
- When the heating element has reached operating temperature located in the O2 Sensor, the PCM will begin monitoring the O2 Sensor output readings. The system will then leave the warm-up (open loop) mode and go into the closed loop operation.
