DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
KNOCK SENSOR
The knock sensor provides an input to the Power-
train Control Module (PCM) on circuit K42. Circuit
K42 connects to cavity 24 of the PCM connector.
The PCM provides ground for the knock sensor sig-
nal (circuit K42) through circuit K4. Circuit K4 con-
nects to cavity 43 of the PCM connector.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
Circuit K4 splices to supply ground for the signals
from the following:
• Upstream heated oxygen sensor
• Downstream heated oxygen sensor
• Battery temperature sensor
• Camshaft position sensor
• Crankshaft position sensor
• Engine coolant temperature sensor
• Throttle position sensor
• Intake air temperature sensor
• Manifold absolute pressure sensor
• Vehicle speed sensor
BATTERY TEMPERATURE SENSOR
From circuit G31 the battery temperature sensor
draws voltage from the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The sensor is a variable resistor. As battery
temperature changes, the resistance in the sensor
changes causing a change in current draw. Circuit
G31 connects to cavity 52 of the PCM connector.
The PCM provides ground for the battery temper-
ature sensor signal (circuit G31) through circuit K4.
Circuit K4 connects to cavity 43 of the PCM connec-
tor.

FUEL INJECTORS
Circuit A14 is a bus bar in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC), and connects to battery voltage. The
contact side of the Automatic Shut Down (ASD) relay
connects circuit A14 and circuit A142. A 20 amp fuse
in the PDC protects circuits A14 and A142.
Circuit A14 also supplies voltage to the coil side of
the ASD relay. The Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) controls the ground circuit for the coil side of
8W - 30 FUEL/IGNITION SYSTEMS
the ASD relay on circuit K51. Circuit K51 connects to
cavity 67 of the PCM connector.
Circuit A142 supplies voltage for the fuel injectors.
The PCM controls the ground circuit of each injector.
• Circuit K11 is the ground circuit for Injector #1.
Circuit K11 connects to cavity 13 of the PCM.
• Circuit K12 is the ground circuit for Injector #2.
Circuit K12 connects to cavity 17 of the PCM.
• Circuit K13 is the ground circuit for Injector #3.
Circuit K13 connects to cavity 7 of the PCM.
• Circuit K14 is the ground circuit for Injector #4.
Circuit K14 connects to cavity 16 of the PCM.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
Circuit A142 splices to supply voltage to the fuel
injectors, ignition coil, ASD relay, generator, and the
upstream and downstream heated oxygen sensors.
The PCM controls the ground circuit for each of the
components powered by circuit A142.
The injectors operate in sequence. Refer to Group
14 for system operation.
IGNITION COIL PACK
Circuit A14 is a bus bar in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC), and connects to battery voltage. The
contact side of the Automatic Shut Down (ASD) relay
connects circuit A14 and circuit A142. A 20 amp fuse
in the PDC protects circuits A14 and A142.
Circuit A14 also supplies voltage to the coil side of
the ASD relay. The Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) controls the ground path circuit for the coil
side of the ASD relay on circuit K51. Circuit K51 con-
nects to cavity 67 of the PCM connector.
Circuit A142 supplies voltage for the ignition coil
pack. The coil pack consists of two individual coils
molded together. The PCM controls the ground cir-
cuit of each coil.

coil that fires spark plugs # 1 and # 4. Circuit K19
connects to cavity 2 of the PCM.
• Circuit K17 is the ground circuit for the ignition
coil that fires spark plugs #2 and # 3. Circuit K17
connects to cavity 3 of the PCM.
