The ECM provides two output channels to aid the IDM
with engine speed and position signals. The CKPO

and CMPO channels are in phase with the CKP and
CMP signals received by the ECM.
The ECM and IDM are in continuous communication.
The CKPO and CMPO signals are generated when
the ECM switches these circuits to ground. The IDM
uses these signals for engine speed and timing.
The CAN 2 datalink is a bidirectional communication
line between the ECM, IDM, and EGR drive module.
The ECM, IDM, and EGR drive module use the
datalink to send operating strategies,
information, diagnostic demands, and Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTCs).
NOTE: The engine will not operate without the CAN 2
datalink, CKPO, or CMPO signal.
