EEC-V !perating Modes
The EEC-V 0#eration can be described as ha(ing * distinct o#erating Modes. These are best described as,
1ormal 0#eration
!imited 0#eration $trateg /!0$8 or !im# 2ome Mode.
1ormal !peration
1ormal EEC-V 0#eration can be further sub-di(ided in to the following modes.
Cran# Mode - The cran& mode is entered after the initial engine #ower u#, or after engine stall when the &e is in the "unA$tart
Position.
The Ignition is set at '.B +TDC
The Idle $#eed Controller Val(e is o#ened Com#letel
Canister Purge is 0ff
Fuel flow is de#endant on engine coolant tem#erature e=ce#t for -0T /-ide 0#en Throttle8
-hen the Throttle is 2eld -ide 0#en /-ide 0#en Throttle - -0T8, the EEC-V #re(ents the inCectors from switching on /I.E. 1o Fuel
InCected8.
This feature enables the engine to be #urged of fuel if it has been flooded.
5fter the engine starts, "PM will increase causing it to lea(e the Cran& Mode, and enter the 4nder s#eed Mode.
under speed Mode - under s#eed mode assists the Engine to obtain "un Mode From Cran& Mode.
The Ignition "emains at '.B +TDC
The Canister Purge is off
The Idle $#eed Controller re(erts to normal o#eration and airflow is calculated from the in#ut of (arious sensors.
3un Mode - -hen the engine s#eed enters the normal idle range, the EEC-V $witches to "un Mode.
The Throttle #osition determines the sub mode or mode of o#eration.
3un Mode - Closed Throttle Mode (Idle) - This mode is entered t#icall when the (ehicle is idling, or decelerating.
+ monitoring the Throttle Position $ensor, the PCM is able to select closed throttle mode.
The Idle $#eed Controller #osition is determined b the EEC-V Module, as a function of "PM, ECT, 5AC !oad, 1eutralADri(e, and
Power steering !oad.
The Carbon Canister will be #urged if there is sufficient air flow, and correct coolant tem#erature.
Fuel Flow is calculated from the airflow, and then made richer or leaner to suit the coolant tem#erature.
Ignition Timing is calculated as a function of "PM, Engine !oad, coolant tem#erature and inta&e air tem#erature.
3un Mode - "art Throttle Mode (Cruise) - Part throttle mode is selected b the EEC-V when the throttle #osition sensor (alue is
within a certain range.
The Fuel Flow and ignition timing are calculated in the same manner as described for the closed throttle mode.
Canister #urge can occur in Part Throttle mode if certain au=iliar conditions are met such as correct coolant tem#erature, and
sufficient airflow.
3un Mode - 5ide !pen Throttle Mode (Flat !ut) - The EEC-V selects this mode when the TP$ signal e=ceeds a certain (alue.
To obtain ma=imum #erformance in -0T, the canister #urge is switched off, and the engine is made to run richer.
Limited !peration $trateg) - Limp Home Mode (L!$) - In this mode of o#eration, the EEC-V #ro(ides the necessar out#uts to
allow the (ehicle to !im# home, should an electronic malfunction occur in the PCM.
The Ignition Timing is fi=ed at .B +TDC
The canister Purge is loc&ed out
The InCector #ulse width is fi=ed /Fuel flow constant8
For 9 clinders, the Idle s#eed controller dut ccle is set to ?:D
For V<s, there is no I$C dut ccle.
This gi(es a (er rich engine characterised b blac& smo&e from the e=haust.
Vehicle #erformance in this mode is substantiall degraded although it ma be dri(en u# to '..%mA2r

The EEC-V $elf Test Connector, inside the Cabin Fuse Panel
The $elf Test Codes can be read using either a Multimeter, or an !ED, and consists of a number of Pulses out#utted on the Engine

During a $e#arator Code, the Throttle should be goosed /Pressed and released8 if #erforming a Clinder +alance Test /V<8.
This will cause the Engine to hold the selected "PM, and Test.
C)linder 0alance Test - V%
-hen this test the EEC-V Module selecti(el shuts off fuel to each of the clinders, one at a time, and measures the dro# in "PM.
If this Dro# is outside the normal limits, it will at the com#letion of the test, out#ut a fault code for that clinder.
This code will be in the format G'.G for Clinder ', G*. for Clinder *, etc.
If all clinders are 0%, the EEC-V -ill gi(e a code G;.G

Thermo Fans 0n, and Place the Transmission into neutral to sto# Fan o#eration.
If both fans do not o#erate, then there is a #roblem with their o#eration.
