COIL PACK
A coil in a coil pack is turned ON (for example is coil charging) by the PCM, and is turned OFF when firing two spark plugs at once. The spark plugs are paired so that as one spark plug fires on the compression stroke, the other spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke. The next time the coil is fired the order is reversed. The next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine firing order.

{tag}704115727@

COIL ON PLUG
The COP ignition operates similar to standard coil pack ignition except each plug has one coil per plug. COP has three different modes of operation: engine crank, engine running, and CMP Failure Mode Effects Management.

Engine Crank/Engine Running
During engine crank the PCM will fire two spark plugs simultaneously. Of the two plugs simultaneously fired one will be under compression the other will be on the exhaust stroke. Both plugs will fire until camshaft position is identified by a successful camshaft position sensor signal. Once camshaft position is identified, only the cylinder under compression will be fired.

CMP FMEM
During CMP FMEM the COP ignition works the same as during engine crank. This allows the engine to operate without the PCM knowing if cylinder one is under compression or exhaust.

ENGINE COOLING FAN CONTROL

{tag}781030585@

CCRM Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C ON/OFF status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM controls the fan operation through the Fan Control (FC) output (single speed fan applications) or the Low Fan Control (LFC) and High Fan Control (HFC) outputs. Although the FC, low speed fan control and high speed fan control relays are normally open relays, the FC/LFC circuit is wired through a voltage inverter inside the CCRM. The voltage inverter ensures that the PCM must turn on (ground) the FC/LFC output to turn the fan off. This is done so the cooling fan will operate in the event of an open FC/LFC circuit.

Stand-Alone Fan Control Relay Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C on/off status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM determines engine cooling fan control requirements and controls the fan operation through the LFC and HFC outputs.

Variable Load Control Module Applications
The Mark VIII uses a variable speed cooling fan, which is controlled by the PCM and Variable Load Control Module (VLCM). The PCM monitors certain engine parameters (such as ECT sensor, vehicle speed, A/C demand, A/C head pressure) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM will send the desired fan speed to the VLCM through the BUS + and BUS - circuits. The VLCM then adjusts the fan speed according to vehicle battery positive voltage (B+) and outputs the appropriate voltage through the fan output driver with a pulsewidth modulated duty cycle. The following cooling fan information is sent from the VLCM to the PCM on the BUS + and BUS - circuits: Confirmation of cooling fan operation; any cooling fan secondary circuit faults that are detected.

FUEL PUMP

Applications Without a Fuel Pump Driver Module
The fuel pump is a PCM output signal that is used to control the electric fuel pump. With the electronic EC power relay contacts closed, vehicle Power (PWR) is sent to the coil of the fuel pump relay. For electric fuel pump operation, the PCM grounds the FP circuit, which is connected to the coil of the fuel pump relay. This energizes the coil and closes the contacts of the relay, sending B+ through the FP PWR circuit to the electric fuel pump. When the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump runs for about one second, but is then turned OFF by the PCM if engine rotation is not detected.

{tag}781036275@

For applications with two speed fuel pumps, a normally closed low speed fuel pump relay is wired into the FP PWR circuit. With the low speed fuel pump relay contacts in the normally closed position, full B+ is sent to the pump for high speed operation. For low speed fuel pump operation, the PCM will ground the Low Fuel Pump circuit, which opens the relay contacts. With the relay contacts open, power to the fuel pump must now pass through a resistor that is wired into the circuit.

{tag}781048020@

Fuel Pump Driver Module Applications
The FP signal is a duty cycle command sent from the PCM to the Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM). The FPDM uses the FP command to operate the fuel pump at the speed requested by the PCM or to turn the pump OFF.

The transmission control indicator lamp is an output signal from the PCM that controls the lamp ON/OFF function depending on the engagement or disengagement of overdrive. Refer to Transmission Control Switch in Hardware PCM Inputs.

WIDE OPEN THROTTLE A/C CUT-OFF

CCRM Applications
For these applications, the wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay (may be referred to as the A/C relay) is normally open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch or EATC Module and the A/C clutch. The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for Town Car and Continental, this message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is requested, the PCM will check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW), ACCS). If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as coolant temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-off output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.

The Variable Load Control Module (VLCM), which is used on the Mark VIII, does not use a separate output circuit for Wide Open Throttle (WOT) A/C Cut-off. Instead, the A/C clutch control information is included in the two-way communication (using the BUS+ and BUS- circuits) between the VLCM and PCM. When A/C is requested the PCM will verify that A/C operation is desirable (for example, the engine not cranking, overheated, not at WOT or A/C pressure is not excessive). If A/C operation is desirable, the PCM will send a message to the VLCM to turn on the A/C clutch.

The VLCM sends messages to the PCM (through the BUS + and BUS - circuits) indicating the A/C status (ON or OFF), and if any A/C circuit faults are detected.

The Wide Open Throttle Air Conditioning Cut-off (WAC) output is used by the PCM to disengage the A/C clutch when A/C compressor operation is not desirable. Under normal conditions, with the A/C OFF, the PCM will ground the WAC output, which opens the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay (this relay may be inside the constant control relay module). When the A/C demand switch is turned ON, and the A/C cycling switch and A/C high pressure switch high pressure contacts are closed, voltage is supplied to the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts and to the ACCS circuit. The voltage on the ACCS circuit indicates to the PCM that A/C is requested. The PCM will then verify that A/C clutch operation is desirable (for example, engine not cranking, overheated or not at WOT). If A/C clutch operation is desirable, the PCM will adjust idle speed as necessary and "unground"the WAC output. This closes the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay and for all vehicles except Contour/Mystique, allows voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch. For Contour/Mystique, when the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts are closed voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch relay. This will close the normally open contacts of the A/C clutch relay and allow voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch.

WIDE OPEN THROTTLE A/C CUT-OFF

CCRM Applications
For these applications, the wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay (may be referred to as the A/C relay) is normally open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch or EATC Module and the A/C clutch. The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for Town Car and Continental, this message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is requested, the PCM will check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW), ACCS). If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as coolant temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-off output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.

The Variable Load Control Module (VLCM), which is used on the Mark VIII, does not use a separate output circuit for Wide Open Throttle (WOT) A/C Cut-off. Instead, the A/C clutch control information is included in the two-way communication (using the BUS+ and BUS- circuits) between the VLCM and PCM. When A/C is requested the PCM will verify that A/C operation is desirable (for example, the engine not cranking, overheated, not at WOT or A/C pressure is not excessive). If A/C operation is desirable, the PCM will send a message to the VLCM to turn on the A/C clutch.

The VLCM sends messages to the PCM (through the BUS + and BUS - circuits) indicating the A/C status (ON or OFF), and if any A/C circuit faults are detected.

The Wide Open Throttle Air Conditioning Cut-off (WAC) output is used by the PCM to disengage the A/C clutch when A/C compressor operation is not desirable. Under normal conditions, with the A/C OFF, the PCM will ground the WAC output, which opens the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay (this relay may be inside the constant control relay module). When the A/C demand switch is turned ON, and the A/C cycling switch and A/C high pressure switch high pressure contacts are closed, voltage is supplied to the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts and to the ACCS circuit. The voltage on the ACCS circuit indicates to the PCM that A/C is requested. The PCM will then verify that A/C clutch operation is desirable (for example, engine not cranking, overheated or not at WOT). If A/C clutch operation is desirable, the PCM will adjust idle speed as necessary and "unground"the WAC output. This closes the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay and for all vehicles except Contour/Mystique, allows voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch. For Contour/Mystique, when the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts are closed voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch relay. This will close the normally open contacts of the A/C clutch relay and allow voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch.

COIL PACK
A coil in a coil pack is turned ON (for example is coil charging) by the PCM, and is turned OFF when firing two spark plugs at once. The spark plugs are paired so that as one spark plug fires on the compression stroke, the other spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke. The next time the coil is fired the order is reversed. The next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine firing order.

{tag}704115727@

COIL ON PLUG
The COP ignition operates similar to standard coil pack ignition except each plug has one coil per plug. COP has three different modes of operation: engine crank, engine running, and CMP Failure Mode Effects Management.

Engine Crank/Engine Running
During engine crank the PCM will fire two spark plugs simultaneously. Of the two plugs simultaneously fired one will be under compression the other will be on the exhaust stroke. Both plugs will fire until camshaft position is identified by a successful camshaft position sensor signal. Once camshaft position is identified, only the cylinder under compression will be fired.

CMP FMEM
During CMP FMEM the COP ignition works the same as during engine crank. This allows the engine to operate without the PCM knowing if cylinder one is under compression or exhaust.

ENGINE COOLING FAN CONTROL




CCRM Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C ON/OFF status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM controls the fan operation through the Fan Control (FC) output (single speed fan applications) or the Low Fan Control (LFC) and High Fan Control (HFC) outputs. Although the FC, low speed fan control and high speed fan control relays are normally open relays, the FC/LFC circuit is wired through a voltage inverter inside the CCRM. The voltage inverter ensures that the PCM must turn on (ground) the FC/LFC output to turn the fan off. This is done so the cooling fan will operate in the event of an open FC/LFC circuit.

The Mark VIII uses a variable speed cooling fan, which is controlled by the PCM and Variable Load Control Module (VLCM). The PCM monitors certain engine parameters (such as ECT sensor, vehicle speed, A/C demand, A/C head pressure) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM will send the desired fan speed to the VLCM through the BUS + and BUS - circuits. The VLCM then adjusts the fan speed according to vehicle battery positive voltage (B+) and outputs the appropriate voltage through the fan output driver with a pulsewidth modulated duty cycle. The following cooling fan information is sent from the VLCM to the PCM on the BUS + and BUS - circuits: Confirmation of cooling fan operation; any cooling fan secondary circuit faults that are detected.

FUEL PUMP

Applications Without a Fuel Pump Driver Module
The fuel pump is a PCM output signal that is used to control the electric fuel pump. With the electronic EC power relay contacts closed, vehicle Power (PWR) is sent to the coil of the fuel pump relay. For electric fuel pump operation, the PCM grounds the FP circuit, which is connected to the coil of the fuel pump relay. This energizes the coil and closes the contacts of the relay, sending B+ through the FP PWR circuit to the electric fuel pump. When the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump runs for about one second, but is then turned OFF by the PCM if engine rotation is not detected.

{tag}781036275@

For applications with two speed fuel pumps, a normally closed low speed fuel pump relay is wired into the FP PWR circuit. With the low speed fuel pump relay contacts in the normally closed position, full B+ is sent to the pump for high speed operation. For low speed fuel pump operation, the PCM will ground the Low Fuel Pump circuit, which opens the relay contacts. With the relay contacts open, power to the fuel pump must now pass through a resistor that is wired into the circuit.

The PCM will send the desired fan speed to the VLCM through the BUS + and BUS - circuits. The VLCM then adjusts the fan speed according to vehicle battery positive voltage (B+) and outputs the appropriate voltage through the fan output driver with a pulsewidth modulated duty cycle. The following cooling fan information is sent from the VLCM to the PCM on the BUS + and BUS - circuits: Confirmation of cooling fan operation; any cooling fan secondary circuit faults that are detected.

FUEL PUMP

Applications Without a Fuel Pump Driver Module
The fuel pump is a PCM output signal that is used to control the electric fuel pump. With the electronic EC power relay contacts closed, vehicle Power (PWR) is sent to the coil of the fuel pump relay. For electric fuel pump operation, the PCM grounds the FP circuit, which is connected to the coil of the fuel pump relay. This energizes the coil and closes the contacts of the relay, sending B+ through the FP PWR circuit to the electric fuel pump. When the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump runs for about one second, but is then turned OFF by the PCM if engine rotation is not detected.

{tag}781036275@

For applications with two speed fuel pumps, a normally closed low speed fuel pump relay is wired into the FP PWR circuit. With the low speed fuel pump relay contacts in the normally closed position, full B+ is sent to the pump for high speed operation. For low speed fuel pump operation, the PCM will ground the Low Fuel Pump circuit, which opens the relay contacts. With the relay contacts open, power to the fuel pump must now pass through a resistor that is wired into the circuit.

Fuel Pump Driver Module Applications
The FP signal is a duty cycle command sent from the PCM to the Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM). The FPDM uses the FP command to operate the fuel pump at the speed requested by the PCM or to turn the pump OFF.

WIDE OPEN THROTTLE A/C CUT-OFF

CCRM Applications
For these applications, the wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay (may be referred to as the A/C relay) is normally open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch or EATC Module and the A/C clutch. The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for Town Car and Continental, this message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is requested, the PCM will check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW), ACCS). If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as coolant temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-off output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.

The Variable Load Control Module (VLCM), which is used on the Mark VIII, does not use a separate output circuit for Wide Open Throttle (WOT) A/C Cut-off. Instead, the A/C clutch control information is included in the two-way communication (using the BUS+ and BUS- circuits) between the VLCM and PCM. When A/C is requested the PCM will verify that A/C operation is desirable (for example, the engine not cranking, overheated, not at WOT or A/C pressure is not excessive). If A/C operation is desirable, the PCM will send a message to the VLCM to turn on the A/C clutch.

The VLCM sends messages to the PCM (through the BUS + and BUS - circuits) indicating the A/C status (ON or OFF), and if any A/C circuit faults are detected.

The Wide Open Throttle Air Conditioning Cut-off (WAC) output is used by the PCM to disengage the A/C clutch when A/C compressor operation is not desirable. Under normal conditions, with the A/C OFF, the PCM will ground the WAC output, which opens the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay (this relay may be inside the constant control relay module). When the A/C demand switch is turned ON, and the A/C cycling switch and A/C high pressure switch high pressure contacts are closed, voltage is supplied to the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts and to the ACCS circuit. The voltage on the ACCS circuit indicates to the PCM that A/C is requested. The PCM will then verify that A/C clutch operation is desirable (for example, engine not cranking, overheated or not at WOT). If A/C clutch operation is desirable, the PCM will adjust idle speed as necessary and "unground"the WAC output. This closes the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay and for all vehicles except Contour/Mystique, allows voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch. For Contour/Mystique, when the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts are closed voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch relay. This will close the normally open contacts of the A/C clutch relay and allow voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch.

COIL PACK
A coil in a coil pack is turned ON (for example is coil charging) by the PCM, and is turned OFF when firing two spark plugs at once. The spark plugs are paired so that as one spark plug fires on the compression stroke, the other spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke. The next time the coil is fired the order is reversed. The next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine firing order.

{tag}704115727@

COIL ON PLUG
The COP ignition operates similar to standard coil pack ignition except each plug has one coil per plug. COP has three different modes of operation: engine crank, engine running, and CMP Failure Mode Effects Management.

Engine Crank/Engine Running
During engine crank the PCM will fire two spark plugs simultaneously. Of the two plugs simultaneously fired one will be under compression the other will be on the exhaust stroke. Both plugs will fire until camshaft position is identified by a successful camshaft position sensor signal. Once camshaft position is identified, only the cylinder under compression will be fired.

CMP FMEM
During CMP FMEM the COP ignition works the same as during engine crank. This allows the engine to operate without the PCM knowing if cylinder one is under compression or exhaust.

ENGINE COOLING FAN CONTROL

{tag}781030585@

CCRM Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C ON/OFF status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM controls the fan operation through the Fan Control (FC) output (single speed fan applications) or the Low Fan Control (LFC) and High Fan Control (HFC) outputs. Although the FC, low speed fan control and high speed fan control relays are normally open relays, the FC/LFC circuit is wired through a voltage inverter inside the CCRM. The voltage inverter ensures that the PCM must turn on (ground) the FC/LFC output to turn the fan off. This is done so the cooling fan will operate in the event of an open FC/LFC circuit.




Stand-Alone Fan Control Relay Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C on/off status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM determines engine cooling fan control requirements and controls the fan operation through the LFC and HFC outputs.

COIL PACK
A coil in a coil pack is turned ON (for example is coil charging) by the PCM, and is turned OFF when firing two spark plugs at once. The spark plugs are paired so that as one spark plug fires on the compression stroke, the other spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke. The next time the coil is fired the order is reversed. The next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine firing order.

Coil On PlugCoil On Plug


COIL ON PLUG
The COP ignition operates similar to standard coil pack ignition except each plug has one coil per plug. COP has three different modes of operation: engine crank, engine running, and CMP Failure Mode Effects Management.

Engine Crank/Engine Running
During engine crank the PCM will fire two spark plugs simultaneously. Of the two plugs simultaneously fired one will be under compression the other will be on the exhaust stroke. Both plugs will fire until camshaft position is identified by a successful camshaft position sensor signal. Once camshaft position is identified, only the cylinder under compression will be fired.

CMP FMEM
During CMP FMEM the COP ignition works the same as during engine crank. This allows the engine to operate without the PCM knowing if cylinder one is under compression or exhaust.

ENGINE COOLING FAN CONTROL

{tag}781030585@

CCRM Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C ON/OFF status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM controls the fan operation through the Fan Control (FC) output (single speed fan applications) or the Low Fan Control (LFC) and High Fan Control (HFC) outputs. Although the FC, low speed fan control and high speed fan control relays are normally open relays, the FC/LFC circuit is wired through a voltage inverter inside the CCRM. The voltage inverter ensures that the PCM must turn on (ground) the FC/LFC output to turn the fan off. This is done so the cooling fan will operate in the event of an open FC/LFC circuit.




Stand-Alone Fan Control Relay Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C on/off status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM determines engine cooling fan control requirements and controls the fan operation through the LFC and HFC outputs.

Variable Load Control Module Applications
The Mark VIII uses a variable speed cooling fan, which is controlled by the PCM and Variable Load Control Module (VLCM). The PCM monitors certain engine parameters (such as ECT sensor, vehicle speed, A/C demand, A/C head pressure) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM will send the desired fan speed to the VLCM through the BUS + and BUS - circuits. The VLCM then adjusts the fan speed according to vehicle battery positive voltage (B+) and outputs the appropriate voltage through the fan output driver with a pulsewidth modulated duty cycle. The following cooling fan information is sent from the VLCM to the PCM on the BUS + and BUS - circuits: Confirmation of cooling fan operation; any cooling fan secondary circuit faults that are detected.

FUEL PUMP

Applications Without a Fuel Pump Driver Module
The fuel pump is a PCM output signal that is used to control the electric fuel pump. With the electronic EC power relay contacts closed, vehicle Power (PWR) is sent to the coil of the fuel pump relay. For electric fuel pump operation, the PCM grounds the FP circuit, which is connected to the coil of the fuel pump relay. This energizes the coil and closes the contacts of the relay, sending B+ through the FP PWR circuit to the electric fuel pump. When the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump runs for about one second, but is then turned OFF by the PCM if engine rotation is not detected.

{tag}781036275@

For applications with two speed fuel pumps, a normally closed low speed fuel pump relay is wired into the FP PWR circuit. With the low speed fuel pump relay contacts in the normally closed position, full B+ is sent to the pump for high speed operation. For low speed fuel pump operation, the PCM will ground the Low Fuel Pump circuit, which opens the relay contacts. With the relay contacts open, power to the fuel pump must now pass through a resistor that is wired into the circuit.

{tag}781048020@

Fuel Pump Driver Module Applications
The FP signal is a duty cycle command sent from the PCM to the Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM). The FPDM uses the FP command to operate the fuel pump at the speed requested by the PCM or to turn the pump OFF.

WIDE OPEN THROTTLE A/C CUT-OFF

CCRM Applications
For these applications, the wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay (may be referred to as the A/C relay) is normally open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch or EATC Module and the A/C clutch. The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for Town Car and Continental, this message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is requested, the PCM will check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW), ACCS). If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as coolant temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-off output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.

The Variable Load Control Module (VLCM), which is used on the Mark VIII, does not use a separate output circuit for Wide Open Throttle (WOT) A/C Cut-off. Instead, the A/C clutch control information is included in the two-way communication (using the BUS+ and BUS- circuits) between the VLCM and PCM. When A/C is requested the PCM will verify that A/C operation is desirable (for example, the engine not cranking, overheated, not at WOT or A/C pressure is not excessive). If A/C operation is desirable, the PCM will send a message to the VLCM to turn on the A/C clutch.

The VLCM sends messages to the PCM (through the BUS + and BUS - circuits) indicating the A/C status (ON or OFF), and if any A/C circuit faults are detected.

The Wide Open Throttle Air Conditioning Cut-off (WAC) output is used by the PCM to disengage the A/C clutch when A/C compressor operation is not desirable. Under normal conditions, with the A/C OFF, the PCM will ground the WAC output, which opens the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay (this relay may be inside the constant control relay module). When the A/C demand switch is turned ON, and the A/C cycling switch and A/C high pressure switch high pressure contacts are closed, voltage is supplied to the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts and to the ACCS circuit. The voltage on the ACCS circuit indicates to the PCM that A/C is requested. The PCM will then verify that A/C clutch operation is desirable (for example, engine not cranking, overheated or not at WOT). If A/C clutch operation is desirable, the PCM will adjust idle speed as necessary and "unground"the WAC output. This closes the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay and for all vehicles except Contour/Mystique, allows voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch. For Contour/Mystique, when the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts are closed voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch relay. This will close the normally open contacts of the A/C clutch relay and allow voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch.

WIDE OPEN THROTTLE A/C CUT-OFF

CCRM Applications
For these applications, the wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay (may be referred to as the A/C relay) is normally open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch or EATC Module and the A/C clutch. The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for Town Car and Continental, this message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is requested, the PCM will check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW), ACCS). If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as coolant temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-off output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.

The Variable Load Control Module (VLCM), which is used on the Mark VIII, does not use a separate output circuit for Wide Open Throttle (WOT) A/C Cut-off. Instead, the A/C clutch control information is included in the two-way communication (using the BUS+ and BUS- circuits) between the VLCM and PCM. When A/C is requested the PCM will verify that A/C operation is desirable (for example, the engine not cranking, overheated, not at WOT or A/C pressure is not excessive). If A/C operation is desirable, the PCM will send a message to the VLCM to turn on the A/C clutch.

The VLCM sends messages to the PCM (through the BUS + and BUS - circuits) indicating the A/C status (ON or OFF), and if any A/C circuit faults are detected.

The Wide Open Throttle Air Conditioning Cut-off (WAC) output is used by the PCM to disengage the A/C clutch when A/C compressor operation is not desirable. Under normal conditions, with the A/C OFF, the PCM will ground the WAC output, which opens the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay (this relay may be inside the constant control relay module). When the A/C demand switch is turned ON, and the A/C cycling switch and A/C high pressure switch high pressure contacts are closed, voltage is supplied to the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts and to the ACCS circuit. The voltage on the ACCS circuit indicates to the PCM that A/C is requested. The PCM will then verify that A/C clutch operation is desirable (for example, engine not cranking, overheated or not at WOT). If A/C clutch operation is desirable, the PCM will adjust idle speed as necessary and "unground"the WAC output. This closes the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay and for all vehicles except Contour/Mystique, allows voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch. For Contour/Mystique, when the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts are closed voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch relay. This will close the normally open contacts of the A/C clutch relay and allow voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch.

COIL PACK
A coil in a coil pack is turned ON (for example is coil charging) by the PCM, and is turned OFF when firing two spark plugs at once. The spark plugs are paired so that as one spark plug fires on the compression stroke, the other spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke. The next time the coil is fired the order is reversed. The next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine firing order.

Coil On PlugCoil On Plug


COIL ON PLUG
The COP ignition operates similar to standard coil pack ignition except each plug has one coil per plug. COP has three different modes of operation: engine crank, engine running, and CMP Failure Mode Effects Management.

Engine Crank/Engine Running
During engine crank the PCM will fire two spark plugs simultaneously. Of the two plugs simultaneously fired one will be under compression the other will be on the exhaust stroke. Both plugs will fire until camshaft position is identified by a successful camshaft position sensor signal. Once camshaft position is identified, only the cylinder under compression will be fired.

CMP FMEM
During CMP FMEM the COP ignition works the same as during engine crank. This allows the engine to operate without the PCM knowing if cylinder one is under compression or exhaust.

ENGINE COOLING FAN CONTROL




CCRM Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C ON/OFF status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM controls the fan operation through the Fan Control (FC) output (single speed fan applications) or the Low Fan Control (LFC) and High Fan Control (HFC) outputs. Although the FC, low speed fan control and high speed fan control relays are normally open relays, the FC/LFC circuit is wired through a voltage inverter inside the CCRM. The voltage inverter ensures that the PCM must turn on (ground) the FC/LFC output to turn the fan off. This is done so the cooling fan will operate in the event of an open FC/LFC circuit.




Stand-Alone Fan Control Relay Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C on/off status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM determines engine cooling fan control requirements and controls the fan operation through the LFC and HFC outputs.

Variable Load Control Module Applications
The Mark VIII uses a variable speed cooling fan, which is controlled by the PCM and Variable Load Control Module (VLCM). The PCM monitors certain engine parameters (such as ECT sensor, vehicle speed, A/C demand, A/C head pressure) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM will send the desired fan speed to the VLCM through the BUS + and BUS - circuits. The VLCM then adjusts the fan speed according to vehicle battery positive voltage (B+) and outputs the appropriate voltage through the fan output driver with a pulsewidth modulated duty cycle. The following cooling fan information is sent from the VLCM to the PCM on the BUS + and BUS - circuits: Confirmation of cooling fan operation; any cooling fan secondary circuit faults that are detected.

FUEL PUMP

Applications Without a Fuel Pump Driver Module
The fuel pump is a PCM output signal that is used to control the electric fuel pump. With the electronic EC power relay contacts closed, vehicle Power (PWR) is sent to the coil of the fuel pump relay. For electric fuel pump operation, the PCM grounds the FP circuit, which is connected to the coil of the fuel pump relay. This energizes the coil and closes the contacts of the relay, sending B+ through the FP PWR circuit to the electric fuel pump. When the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump runs for about one second, but is then turned OFF by the PCM if engine rotation is not detected.

{tag}781036275@

For applications with two speed fuel pumps, a normally closed low speed fuel pump relay is wired into the FP PWR circuit. With the low speed fuel pump relay contacts in the normally closed position, full B+ is sent to the pump for high speed operation. For low speed fuel pump operation, the PCM will ground the Low Fuel Pump circuit, which opens the relay contacts. With the relay contacts open, power to the fuel pump must now pass through a resistor that is wired into the circuit.

The PCM will send the desired fan speed to the VLCM through the BUS + and BUS - circuits. The VLCM then adjusts the fan speed according to vehicle battery positive voltage (B+) and outputs the appropriate voltage through the fan output driver with a pulsewidth modulated duty cycle. The following cooling fan information is sent from the VLCM to the PCM on the BUS + and BUS - circuits: Confirmation of cooling fan operation; any cooling fan secondary circuit faults that are detected.

FUEL PUMP

Applications Without a Fuel Pump Driver Module
The fuel pump is a PCM output signal that is used to control the electric fuel pump. With the electronic EC power relay contacts closed, vehicle Power (PWR) is sent to the coil of the fuel pump relay. For electric fuel pump operation, the PCM grounds the FP circuit, which is connected to the coil of the fuel pump relay. This energizes the coil and closes the contacts of the relay, sending B+ through the FP PWR circuit to the electric fuel pump. When the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump runs for about one second, but is then turned OFF by the PCM if engine rotation is not detected.

Low Speed Fuel Pump Relay WiringLow Speed Fuel Pump Relay Wiring


For applications with two speed fuel pumps, a normally closed low speed fuel pump relay is wired into the FP PWR circuit. With the low speed fuel pump relay contacts in the normally closed position, full B+ is sent to the pump for high speed operation. For low speed fuel pump operation, the PCM will ground the Low Fuel Pump circuit, which opens the relay contacts. With the relay contacts open, power to the fuel pump must now pass through a resistor that is wired into the circuit.

The FP signal is a duty cycle command sent from the PCM to the Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM). The FPDM uses the FP command to operate the fuel pump at the speed requested by the PCM or to turn the pump OFF.

WIDE OPEN THROTTLE A/C CUT-OFF

CCRM Applications
For these applications, the wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay (may be referred to as the A/C relay) is normally open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch or EATC Module and the A/C clutch. The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for Town Car and Continental, this message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is requested, the PCM will check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW), ACCS). If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as coolant temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-off output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.

The Variable Load Control Module (VLCM), which is used on the Mark VIII, does not use a separate output circuit for Wide Open Throttle (WOT) A/C Cut-off. Instead, the A/C clutch control information is included in the two-way communication (using the BUS+ and BUS- circuits) between the VLCM and PCM. When A/C is requested the PCM will verify that A/C operation is desirable (for example, the engine not cranking, overheated, not at WOT or A/C pressure is not excessive). If A/C operation is desirable, the PCM will send a message to the VLCM to turn on the A/C clutch.

The VLCM sends messages to the PCM (through the BUS + and BUS - circuits) indicating the A/C status (ON or OFF), and if any A/C circuit faults are detected.

The Wide Open Throttle Air Conditioning Cut-off (WAC) output is used by the PCM to disengage the A/C clutch when A/C compressor operation is not desirable. Under normal conditions, with the A/C OFF, the PCM will ground the WAC output, which opens the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay (this relay may be inside the constant control relay module). When the A/C demand switch is turned ON, and the A/C cycling switch and A/C high pressure switch high pressure contacts are closed, voltage is supplied to the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts and to the ACCS circuit. The voltage on the ACCS circuit indicates to the PCM that A/C is requested. The PCM will then verify that A/C clutch operation is desirable (for example, engine not cranking, overheated or not at WOT). If A/C clutch operation is desirable, the PCM will adjust idle speed as necessary and "unground"the WAC output. This closes the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay and for all vehicles except Contour/Mystique, allows voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch. For Contour/Mystique, when the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts are closed voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch relay. This will close the normally open contacts of the A/C clutch relay and allow voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch.

Example: Six-Tower Coil PackExample: Six-Tower Coil Pack


COIL PACK
A coil in a coil pack is turned ON (for example is coil charging) by the PCM, and is turned OFF when firing two spark plugs at once. The spark plugs are paired so that as one spark plug fires on the compression stroke, the other spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke. The next time the coil is fired the order is reversed. The next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine firing order.

Coil On PlugCoil On Plug


COIL ON PLUG
The COP ignition operates similar to standard coil pack ignition except each plug has one coil per plug. COP has three different modes of operation: engine crank, engine running, and CMP Failure Mode Effects Management.

Engine Crank/Engine Running
During engine crank the PCM will fire two spark plugs simultaneously. Of the two plugs simultaneously fired one will be under compression the other will be on the exhaust stroke. Both plugs will fire until camshaft position is identified by a successful camshaft position sensor signal. Once camshaft position is identified, only the cylinder under compression will be fired.

CMP FMEM
During CMP FMEM the COP ignition works the same as during engine crank. This allows the engine to operate without the PCM knowing if cylinder one is under compression or exhaust.

The PCM controls the fan operation through the Fan Control (FC) output (single speed fan applications) or the Low Fan Control (LFC) and High Fan Control (HFC) outputs. Although the FC, low speed fan control and high speed fan control relays are normally open relays, the FC/LFC circuit is wired through a voltage inverter inside the CCRM. The voltage inverter ensures that the PCM must turn on (ground) the FC/LFC output to turn the fan off. This is done so the cooling fan will operate in the event of an open FC/LFC circuit.

COIL PACK
A coil in a coil pack is turned ON (for example is coil charging) by the PCM, and is turned OFF when firing two spark plugs at once. The spark plugs are paired so that as one spark plug fires on the compression stroke, the other spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke. The next time the coil is fired the order is reversed. The next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine firing order.

Coil On PlugCoil On Plug


COIL ON PLUG
The COP ignition operates similar to standard coil pack ignition except each plug has one coil per plug. COP has three different modes of operation: engine crank, engine running, and CMP Failure Mode Effects Management.

Engine Crank/Engine Running
During engine crank the PCM will fire two spark plugs simultaneously. Of the two plugs simultaneously fired one will be under compression the other will be on the exhaust stroke. Both plugs will fire until camshaft position is identified by a successful camshaft position sensor signal. Once camshaft position is identified, only the cylinder under compression will be fired.

CMP FMEM
During CMP FMEM the COP ignition works the same as during engine crank. This allows the engine to operate without the PCM knowing if cylinder one is under compression or exhaust.

ENGINE COOLING FAN CONTROL




CCRM Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C ON/OFF status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM controls the fan operation through the Fan Control (FC) output (single speed fan applications) or the Low Fan Control (LFC) and High Fan Control (HFC) outputs. Although the FC, low speed fan control and high speed fan control relays are normally open relays, the FC/LFC circuit is wired through a voltage inverter inside the CCRM. The voltage inverter ensures that the PCM must turn on (ground) the FC/LFC output to turn the fan off. This is done so the cooling fan will operate in the event of an open FC/LFC circuit.

Stand-Alone Fan Control Relay Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C on/off status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM determines engine cooling fan control requirements and controls the fan operation through the LFC and HFC outputs.

Variable Load Control Module Applications
The Mark VIII uses a variable speed cooling fan, which is controlled by the PCM and Variable Load Control Module (VLCM). The PCM monitors certain engine parameters (such as ECT sensor, vehicle speed, A/C demand, A/C head pressure) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM will send the desired fan speed to the VLCM through the BUS + and BUS - circuits. The VLCM then adjusts the fan speed according to vehicle battery positive voltage (B+) and outputs the appropriate voltage through the fan output driver with a pulsewidth modulated duty cycle. The following cooling fan information is sent from the VLCM to the PCM on the BUS + and BUS - circuits: Confirmation of cooling fan operation; any cooling fan secondary circuit faults that are detected.

FUEL PUMP

Applications Without a Fuel Pump Driver Module
The fuel pump is a PCM output signal that is used to control the electric fuel pump. With the electronic EC power relay contacts closed, vehicle Power (PWR) is sent to the coil of the fuel pump relay. For electric fuel pump operation, the PCM grounds the FP circuit, which is connected to the coil of the fuel pump relay. This energizes the coil and closes the contacts of the relay, sending B+ through the FP PWR circuit to the electric fuel pump. When the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump runs for about one second, but is then turned OFF by the PCM if engine rotation is not detected.

Low Speed Fuel Pump Relay WiringLow Speed Fuel Pump Relay Wiring


For applications with two speed fuel pumps, a normally closed low speed fuel pump relay is wired into the FP PWR circuit. With the low speed fuel pump relay contacts in the normally closed position, full B+ is sent to the pump for high speed operation. For low speed fuel pump operation, the PCM will ground the Low Fuel Pump circuit, which opens the relay contacts. With the relay contacts open, power to the fuel pump must now pass through a resistor that is wired into the circuit.

The FP signal is a duty cycle command sent from the PCM to the Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM). The FPDM uses the FP command to operate the fuel pump at the speed requested by the PCM or to turn the pump OFF.

WIDE OPEN THROTTLE A/C CUT-OFF

CCRM Applications
For these applications, the wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay (may be referred to as the A/C relay) is normally open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch or EATC Module and the A/C clutch. The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for Town Car and Continental, this message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is requested, the PCM will check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW), ACCS). If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as coolant temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-off output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.

The Variable Load Control Module (VLCM), which is used on the Mark VIII, does not use a separate output circuit for Wide Open Throttle (WOT) A/C Cut-off. Instead, the A/C clutch control information is included in the two-way communication (using the BUS+ and BUS- circuits) between the VLCM and PCM. When A/C is requested the PCM will verify that A/C operation is desirable (for example, the engine not cranking, overheated, not at WOT or A/C pressure is not excessive). If A/C operation is desirable, the PCM will send a message to the VLCM to turn on the A/C clutch.

The VLCM sends messages to the PCM (through the BUS + and BUS - circuits) indicating the A/C status (ON or OFF), and if any A/C circuit faults are detected.

The Wide Open Throttle Air Conditioning Cut-off (WAC) output is used by the PCM to disengage the A/C clutch when A/C compressor operation is not desirable. Under normal conditions, with the A/C OFF, the PCM will ground the WAC output, which opens the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay (this relay may be inside the constant control relay module). When the A/C demand switch is turned ON, and the A/C cycling switch and A/C high pressure switch high pressure contacts are closed, voltage is supplied to the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts and to the ACCS circuit. The voltage on the ACCS circuit indicates to the PCM that A/C is requested. The PCM will then verify that A/C clutch operation is desirable (for example, engine not cranking, overheated or not at WOT). If A/C clutch operation is desirable, the PCM will adjust idle speed as necessary and "unground"the WAC output. This closes the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay and for all vehicles except Contour/Mystique, allows voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch. For Contour/Mystique, when the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts are closed voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch relay. This will close the normally open contacts of the A/C clutch relay and allow voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch.

WIDE OPEN THROTTLE A/C CUT-OFF

CCRM Applications
For these applications, the wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay (may be referred to as the A/C relay) is normally open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch or EATC Module and the A/C clutch. The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for Town Car and Continental, this message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is requested, the PCM will check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW), ACCS). If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as coolant temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-off output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.

The Variable Load Control Module (VLCM), which is used on the Mark VIII, does not use a separate output circuit for Wide Open Throttle (WOT) A/C Cut-off. Instead, the A/C clutch control information is included in the two-way communication (using the BUS+ and BUS- circuits) between the VLCM and PCM. When A/C is requested the PCM will verify that A/C operation is desirable (for example, the engine not cranking, overheated, not at WOT or A/C pressure is not excessive). If A/C operation is desirable, the PCM will send a message to the VLCM to turn on the A/C clutch.

The VLCM sends messages to the PCM (through the BUS + and BUS - circuits) indicating the A/C status (ON or OFF), and if any A/C circuit faults are detected.

The Wide Open Throttle Air Conditioning Cut-off (WAC) output is used by the PCM to disengage the A/C clutch when A/C compressor operation is not desirable. Under normal conditions, with the A/C OFF, the PCM will ground the WAC output, which opens the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay (this relay may be inside the constant control relay module). When the A/C demand switch is turned ON, and the A/C cycling switch and A/C high pressure switch high pressure contacts are closed, voltage is supplied to the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts and to the ACCS circuit. The voltage on the ACCS circuit indicates to the PCM that A/C is requested. The PCM will then verify that A/C clutch operation is desirable (for example, engine not cranking, overheated or not at WOT). If A/C clutch operation is desirable, the PCM will adjust idle speed as necessary and "unground"the WAC output. This closes the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay and for all vehicles except Contour/Mystique, allows voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch. For Contour/Mystique, when the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts are closed voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch relay. This will close the normally open contacts of the A/C clutch relay and allow voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch.

COIL PACK
A coil in a coil pack is turned ON (for example is coil charging) by the PCM, and is turned OFF when firing two spark plugs at once. The spark plugs are paired so that as one spark plug fires on the compression stroke, the other spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke. The next time the coil is fired the order is reversed. The next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine firing order.

Coil On PlugCoil On Plug


COIL ON PLUG
The COP ignition operates similar to standard coil pack ignition except each plug has one coil per plug. COP has three different modes of operation: engine crank, engine running, and CMP Failure Mode Effects Management.

Engine Crank/Engine Running
During engine crank the PCM will fire two spark plugs simultaneously. Of the two plugs simultaneously fired one will be under compression the other will be on the exhaust stroke. Both plugs will fire until camshaft position is identified by a successful camshaft position sensor signal. Once camshaft position is identified, only the cylinder under compression will be fired.

During CMP FMEM the COP ignition works the same as during engine crank. This allows the engine to operate without the PCM knowing if cylinder one is under compression or exhaust.

The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C ON/OFF status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM controls the fan operation through the Fan Control (FC) output (single speed fan applications) or the Low Fan Control (LFC) and High Fan Control (HFC) outputs. Although the FC, low speed fan control and high speed fan control relays are normally open relays, the FC/LFC circuit is wired through a voltage inverter inside the CCRM. The voltage inverter ensures that the PCM must turn on (ground) the FC/LFC output to turn the fan off. This is done so the cooling fan will operate in the event of an open FC/LFC circuit.




Stand-Alone Fan Control Relay Applications

The Mark VIII uses a variable speed cooling fan, which is controlled by the PCM and Variable Load Control Module (VLCM). The PCM monitors certain engine parameters (such as ECT sensor, vehicle speed, A/C demand, A/C head pressure) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM will send the desired fan speed to the VLCM through the BUS + and BUS - circuits. The VLCM then adjusts the fan speed according to vehicle battery positive voltage (B+) and outputs the appropriate voltage through the fan output driver with a pulsewidth modulated duty cycle. The following cooling fan information is sent from the VLCM to the PCM on the BUS + and BUS - circuits: Confirmation of cooling fan operation; any cooling fan secondary circuit faults that are detected.

FUEL PUMP

Applications Without a Fuel Pump Driver Module
The fuel pump is a PCM output signal that is used to control the electric fuel pump. With the electronic EC power relay contacts closed, vehicle Power (PWR) is sent to the coil of the fuel pump relay. For electric fuel pump operation, the PCM grounds the FP circuit, which is connected to the coil of the fuel pump relay. This energizes the coil and closes the contacts of the relay, sending B+ through the FP PWR circuit to the electric fuel pump. When the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump runs for about one second, but is then turned OFF by the PCM if engine rotation is not detected.

Low Speed Fuel Pump Relay WiringLow Speed Fuel Pump Relay Wiring


For applications with two speed fuel pumps, a normally closed low speed fuel pump relay is wired into the FP PWR circuit. With the low speed fuel pump relay contacts in the normally closed position, full B+ is sent to the pump for high speed operation. For low speed fuel pump operation, the PCM will ground the Low Fuel Pump circuit, which opens the relay contacts. With the relay contacts open, power to the fuel pump must now pass through a resistor that is wired into the circuit.

FUEL PUMP

Applications Without a Fuel Pump Driver Module
The fuel pump is a PCM output signal that is used to control the electric fuel pump. With the electronic EC power relay contacts closed, vehicle Power (PWR) is sent to the coil of the fuel pump relay. For electric fuel pump operation, the PCM grounds the FP circuit, which is connected to the coil of the fuel pump relay. This energizes the coil and closes the contacts of the relay, sending B+ through the FP PWR circuit to the electric fuel pump. When the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump runs for about one second, but is then turned OFF by the PCM if engine rotation is not detected.

Low Speed Fuel Pump Relay WiringLow Speed Fuel Pump Relay Wiring


For applications with two speed fuel pumps, a normally closed low speed fuel pump relay is wired into the FP PWR circuit. With the low speed fuel pump relay contacts in the normally closed position, full B+ is sent to the pump for high speed operation. For low speed fuel pump operation, the PCM will ground the Low Fuel Pump circuit, which opens the relay contacts. With the relay contacts open, power to the fuel pump must now pass through a resistor that is wired into the circuit.

Fuel Pump Driver Module Applications
The FP signal is a duty cycle command sent from the PCM to the Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM). The FPDM uses the FP command to operate the fuel pump at the speed requested by the PCM or to turn the pump OFF.

WIDE OPEN THROTTLE A/C CUT-OFF

CCRM Applications
For these applications, the wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay (may be referred to as the A/C relay) is normally open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch or EATC Module and the A/C clutch. The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for Town Car and Continental, this message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is requested, the PCM will check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW), ACCS). If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as coolant temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-off output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.

The Variable Load Control Module (VLCM), which is used on the Mark VIII, does not use a separate output circuit for Wide Open Throttle (WOT) A/C Cut-off. Instead, the A/C clutch control information is included in the two-way communication (using the BUS+ and BUS- circuits) between the VLCM and PCM. When A/C is requested the PCM will verify that A/C operation is desirable (for example, the engine not cranking, overheated, not at WOT or A/C pressure is not excessive). If A/C operation is desirable, the PCM will send a message to the VLCM to turn on the A/C clutch.

The VLCM sends messages to the PCM (through the BUS + and BUS - circuits) indicating the A/C status (ON or OFF), and if any A/C circuit faults are detected.

The Wide Open Throttle Air Conditioning Cut-off (WAC) output is used by the PCM to disengage the A/C clutch when A/C compressor operation is not desirable. Under normal conditions, with the A/C OFF, the PCM will ground the WAC output, which opens the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay (this relay may be inside the constant control relay module). When the A/C demand switch is turned ON, and the A/C cycling switch and A/C high pressure switch high pressure contacts are closed, voltage is supplied to the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts and to the ACCS circuit. The voltage on the ACCS circuit indicates to the PCM that A/C is requested. The PCM will then verify that A/C clutch operation is desirable (for example, engine not cranking, overheated or not at WOT). If A/C clutch operation is desirable, the PCM will adjust idle speed as necessary and "unground"the WAC output. This closes the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay and for all vehicles except Contour/Mystique, allows voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch. For Contour/Mystique, when the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts are closed voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch relay. This will close the normally open contacts of the A/C clutch relay and allow voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch.

COIL PACK
A coil in a coil pack is turned ON (for example is coil charging) by the PCM, and is turned OFF when firing two spark plugs at once. The spark plugs are paired so that as one spark plug fires on the compression stroke, the other spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke. The next time the coil is fired the order is reversed. The next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine firing order.

Coil On PlugCoil On Plug


COIL ON PLUG
The COP ignition operates similar to standard coil pack ignition except each plug has one coil per plug. COP has three different modes of operation: engine crank, engine running, and CMP Failure Mode Effects Management.

Engine Crank/Engine Running
During engine crank the PCM will fire two spark plugs simultaneously. Of the two plugs simultaneously fired one will be under compression the other will be on the exhaust stroke. Both plugs will fire until camshaft position is identified by a successful camshaft position sensor signal. Once camshaft position is identified, only the cylinder under compression will be fired.

CMP FMEM
During CMP FMEM the COP ignition works the same as during engine crank. This allows the engine to operate without the PCM knowing if cylinder one is under compression or exhaust.

ENGINE COOLING FAN CONTROL




CCRM Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C ON/OFF status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM controls the fan operation through the Fan Control (FC) output (single speed fan applications) or the Low Fan Control (LFC) and High Fan Control (HFC) outputs. Although the FC, low speed fan control and high speed fan control relays are normally open relays, the FC/LFC circuit is wired through a voltage inverter inside the CCRM. The voltage inverter ensures that the PCM must turn on (ground) the FC/LFC output to turn the fan off. This is done so the cooling fan will operate in the event of an open FC/LFC circuit.




Stand-Alone Fan Control Relay Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C on/off status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM determines engine cooling fan control requirements and controls the fan operation through the LFC and HFC outputs.

Example: Six-Tower Coil PackExample: Six-Tower Coil Pack


COIL PACK
A coil in a coil pack is turned ON (for example is coil charging) by the PCM, and is turned OFF when firing two spark plugs at once. The spark plugs are paired so that as one spark plug fires on the compression stroke, the other spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke. The next time the coil is fired the order is reversed. The next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine firing order.

COIL ON PLUG
The COP ignition operates similar to standard coil pack ignition except each plug has one coil per plug. COP has three different modes of operation: engine crank, engine running, and CMP Failure Mode Effects Management.

Engine Crank/Engine Running
During engine crank the PCM will fire two spark plugs simultaneously. Of the two plugs simultaneously fired one will be under compression the other will be on the exhaust stroke. Both plugs will fire until camshaft position is identified by a successful camshaft position sensor signal. Once camshaft position is identified, only the cylinder under compression will be fired.

CMP FMEM
During CMP FMEM the COP ignition works the same as during engine crank. This allows the engine to operate without the PCM knowing if cylinder one is under compression or exhaust.

ENGINE COOLING FAN CONTROL

{tag}781030585@

CCRM Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C ON/OFF status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM controls the fan operation through the Fan Control (FC) output (single speed fan applications) or the Low Fan Control (LFC) and High Fan Control (HFC) outputs. Although the FC, low speed fan control and high speed fan control relays are normally open relays, the FC/LFC circuit is wired through a voltage inverter inside the CCRM. The voltage inverter ensures that the PCM must turn on (ground) the FC/LFC output to turn the fan off. This is done so the cooling fan will operate in the event of an open FC/LFC circuit.

Stand-Alone Fan Control Relay Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C on/off status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM determines engine cooling fan control requirements and controls the fan operation through the LFC and HFC outputs.

Variable Load Control Module Applications
The Mark VIII uses a variable speed cooling fan, which is controlled by the PCM and Variable Load Control Module (VLCM). The PCM monitors certain engine parameters (such as ECT sensor, vehicle speed, A/C demand, A/C head pressure) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM will send the desired fan speed to the VLCM through the BUS + and BUS - circuits. The VLCM then adjusts the fan speed according to vehicle battery positive voltage (B+) and outputs the appropriate voltage through the fan output driver with a pulsewidth modulated duty cycle. The following cooling fan information is sent from the VLCM to the PCM on the BUS + and BUS - circuits: Confirmation of cooling fan operation; any cooling fan secondary circuit faults that are detected.

FUEL PUMP

Applications Without a Fuel Pump Driver Module
The fuel pump is a PCM output signal that is used to control the electric fuel pump. With the electronic EC power relay contacts closed, vehicle Power (PWR) is sent to the coil of the fuel pump relay. For electric fuel pump operation, the PCM grounds the FP circuit, which is connected to the coil of the fuel pump relay. This energizes the coil and closes the contacts of the relay, sending B+ through the FP PWR circuit to the electric fuel pump. When the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump runs for about one second, but is then turned OFF by the PCM if engine rotation is not detected.

{tag}781036275@

For applications with two speed fuel pumps, a normally closed low speed fuel pump relay is wired into the FP PWR circuit. With the low speed fuel pump relay contacts in the normally closed position, full B+ is sent to the pump for high speed operation. For low speed fuel pump operation, the PCM will ground the Low Fuel Pump circuit, which opens the relay contacts. With the relay contacts open, power to the fuel pump must now pass through a resistor that is wired into the circuit.




Fuel Pump Driver Module Applications
The FP signal is a duty cycle command sent from the PCM to the Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM). The FPDM uses the FP command to operate the fuel pump at the speed requested by the PCM or to turn the pump OFF.

WIDE OPEN THROTTLE A/C CUT-OFF

CCRM Applications
For these applications, the wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay (may be referred to as the A/C relay) is normally open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch or EATC Module and the A/C clutch. The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for Town Car and Continental, this message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is requested, the PCM will check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW), ACCS). If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as coolant temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-off output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.

The Variable Load Control Module (VLCM), which is used on the Mark VIII, does not use a separate output circuit for Wide Open Throttle (WOT) A/C Cut-off. Instead, the A/C clutch control information is included in the two-way communication (using the BUS+ and BUS- circuits) between the VLCM and PCM. When A/C is requested the PCM will verify that A/C operation is desirable (for example, the engine not cranking, overheated, not at WOT or A/C pressure is not excessive). If A/C operation is desirable, the PCM will send a message to the VLCM to turn on the A/C clutch.

The VLCM sends messages to the PCM (through the BUS + and BUS - circuits) indicating the A/C status (ON or OFF), and if any A/C circuit faults are detected.

The Wide Open Throttle Air Conditioning Cut-off (WAC) output is used by the PCM to disengage the A/C clutch when A/C compressor operation is not desirable. Under normal conditions, with the A/C OFF, the PCM will ground the WAC output, which opens the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay (this relay may be inside the constant control relay module). When the A/C demand switch is turned ON, and the A/C cycling switch and A/C high pressure switch high pressure contacts are closed, voltage is supplied to the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts and to the ACCS circuit. The voltage on the ACCS circuit indicates to the PCM that A/C is requested. The PCM will then verify that A/C clutch operation is desirable (for example, engine not cranking, overheated or not at WOT). If A/C clutch operation is desirable, the PCM will adjust idle speed as necessary and "unground"the WAC output. This closes the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay and for all vehicles except Contour/Mystique, allows voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch. For Contour/Mystique, when the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts are closed voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch relay. This will close the normally open contacts of the A/C clutch relay and allow voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch.

The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for Town Car and Continental, this message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is requested, the PCM will check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW), ACCS). If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as coolant temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-off output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.

The Variable Load Control Module (VLCM), which is used on the Mark VIII, does not use a separate output circuit for Wide Open Throttle (WOT) A/C Cut-off. Instead, the A/C clutch control information is included in the two-way communication (using the BUS+ and BUS- circuits) between the VLCM and PCM. When A/C is requested the PCM will verify that A/C operation is desirable (for example, the engine not cranking, overheated, not at WOT or A/C pressure is not excessive). If A/C operation is desirable, the PCM will send a message to the VLCM to turn on the A/C clutch.

The VLCM sends messages to the PCM (through the BUS + and BUS - circuits) indicating the A/C status (ON or OFF), and if any A/C circuit faults are detected.

The Wide Open Throttle Air Conditioning Cut-off (WAC) output is used by the PCM to disengage the A/C clutch when A/C compressor operation is not desirable. Under normal conditions, with the A/C OFF, the PCM will ground the WAC output, which opens the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay (this relay may be inside the constant control relay module). When the A/C demand switch is turned ON, and the A/C cycling switch and A/C high pressure switch high pressure contacts are closed, voltage is supplied to the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts and to the ACCS circuit. The voltage on the ACCS circuit indicates to the PCM that A/C is requested. The PCM will then verify that A/C clutch operation is desirable (for example, engine not cranking, overheated or not at WOT). If A/C clutch operation is desirable, the PCM will adjust idle speed as necessary and "unground"the WAC output. This closes the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay and for all vehicles except Contour/Mystique, allows voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch. For Contour/Mystique, when the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts are closed voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch relay. This will close the normally open contacts of the A/C clutch relay and allow voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch.

Example: Six-Tower Coil PackExample: Six-Tower Coil Pack


COIL PACK
A coil in a coil pack is turned ON (for example is coil charging) by the PCM, and is turned OFF when firing two spark plugs at once. The spark plugs are paired so that as one spark plug fires on the compression stroke, the other spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke. The next time the coil is fired the order is reversed. The next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine firing order.

{tag}704115727@

COIL ON PLUG
The COP ignition operates similar to standard coil pack ignition except each plug has one coil per plug. COP has three different modes of operation: engine crank, engine running, and CMP Failure Mode Effects Management.

Engine Crank/Engine Running
During engine crank the PCM will fire two spark plugs simultaneously. Of the two plugs simultaneously fired one will be under compression the other will be on the exhaust stroke. Both plugs will fire until camshaft position is identified by a successful camshaft position sensor signal. Once camshaft position is identified, only the cylinder under compression will be fired.

CMP FMEM
During CMP FMEM the COP ignition works the same as during engine crank. This allows the engine to operate without the PCM knowing if cylinder one is under compression or exhaust.

ENGINE COOLING FAN CONTROL




CCRM Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C ON/OFF status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM controls the fan operation through the Fan Control (FC) output (single speed fan applications) or the Low Fan Control (LFC) and High Fan Control (HFC) outputs. Although the FC, low speed fan control and high speed fan control relays are normally open relays, the FC/LFC circuit is wired through a voltage inverter inside the CCRM. The voltage inverter ensures that the PCM must turn on (ground) the FC/LFC output to turn the fan off. This is done so the cooling fan will operate in the event of an open FC/LFC circuit.

The Mark VIII uses a variable speed cooling fan, which is controlled by the PCM and Variable Load Control Module (VLCM). The PCM monitors certain engine parameters (such as ECT sensor, vehicle speed, A/C demand, A/C head pressure) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM will send the desired fan speed to the VLCM through the BUS + and BUS - circuits. The VLCM then adjusts the fan speed according to vehicle battery positive voltage (B+) and outputs the appropriate voltage through the fan output driver with a pulsewidth modulated duty cycle. The following cooling fan information is sent from the VLCM to the PCM on the BUS + and BUS - circuits: Confirmation of cooling fan operation; any cooling fan secondary circuit faults that are detected.

FUEL PUMP

Applications Without a Fuel Pump Driver Module
The fuel pump is a PCM output signal that is used to control the electric fuel pump. With the electronic EC power relay contacts closed, vehicle Power (PWR) is sent to the coil of the fuel pump relay. For electric fuel pump operation, the PCM grounds the FP circuit, which is connected to the coil of the fuel pump relay. This energizes the coil and closes the contacts of the relay, sending B+ through the FP PWR circuit to the electric fuel pump. When the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump runs for about one second, but is then turned OFF by the PCM if engine rotation is not detected.

{tag}781036275@

For applications with two speed fuel pumps, a normally closed low speed fuel pump relay is wired into the FP PWR circuit. With the low speed fuel pump relay contacts in the normally closed position, full B+ is sent to the pump for high speed operation. For low speed fuel pump operation, the PCM will ground the Low Fuel Pump circuit, which opens the relay contacts. With the relay contacts open, power to the fuel pump must now pass through a resistor that is wired into the circuit.

FUEL PUMP

Applications Without a Fuel Pump Driver Module
The fuel pump is a PCM output signal that is used to control the electric fuel pump. With the electronic EC power relay contacts closed, vehicle Power (PWR) is sent to the coil of the fuel pump relay. For electric fuel pump operation, the PCM grounds the FP circuit, which is connected to the coil of the fuel pump relay. This energizes the coil and closes the contacts of the relay, sending B+ through the FP PWR circuit to the electric fuel pump. When the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump runs for about one second, but is then turned OFF by the PCM if engine rotation is not detected.

{tag}781036275@

For applications with two speed fuel pumps, a normally closed low speed fuel pump relay is wired into the FP PWR circuit. With the low speed fuel pump relay contacts in the normally closed position, full B+ is sent to the pump for high speed operation. For low speed fuel pump operation, the PCM will ground the Low Fuel Pump circuit, which opens the relay contacts. With the relay contacts open, power to the fuel pump must now pass through a resistor that is wired into the circuit.




Fuel Pump Driver Module Applications
The FP signal is a duty cycle command sent from the PCM to the Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM). The FPDM uses the FP command to operate the fuel pump at the speed requested by the PCM or to turn the pump OFF.

WIDE OPEN THROTTLE A/C CUT-OFF

CCRM Applications
For these applications, the wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay (may be referred to as the A/C relay) is normally open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch or EATC Module and the A/C clutch. The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for Town Car and Continental, this message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is requested, the PCM will check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW), ACCS). If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as coolant temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-off output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.

The Variable Load Control Module (VLCM), which is used on the Mark VIII, does not use a separate output circuit for Wide Open Throttle (WOT) A/C Cut-off. Instead, the A/C clutch control information is included in the two-way communication (using the BUS+ and BUS- circuits) between the VLCM and PCM. When A/C is requested the PCM will verify that A/C operation is desirable (for example, the engine not cranking, overheated, not at WOT or A/C pressure is not excessive). If A/C operation is desirable, the PCM will send a message to the VLCM to turn on the A/C clutch.

The VLCM sends messages to the PCM (through the BUS + and BUS - circuits) indicating the A/C status (ON or OFF), and if any A/C circuit faults are detected.

The Wide Open Throttle Air Conditioning Cut-off (WAC) output is used by the PCM to disengage the A/C clutch when A/C compressor operation is not desirable. Under normal conditions, with the A/C OFF, the PCM will ground the WAC output, which opens the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay (this relay may be inside the constant control relay module). When the A/C demand switch is turned ON, and the A/C cycling switch and A/C high pressure switch high pressure contacts are closed, voltage is supplied to the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts and to the ACCS circuit. The voltage on the ACCS circuit indicates to the PCM that A/C is requested. The PCM will then verify that A/C clutch operation is desirable (for example, engine not cranking, overheated or not at WOT). If A/C clutch operation is desirable, the PCM will adjust idle speed as necessary and "unground"the WAC output. This closes the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay and for all vehicles except Contour/Mystique, allows voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch. For Contour/Mystique, when the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts are closed voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch relay. This will close the normally open contacts of the A/C clutch relay and allow voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch.

Example: Six-Tower Coil PackExample: Six-Tower Coil Pack


COIL PACK
A coil in a coil pack is turned ON (for example is coil charging) by the PCM, and is turned OFF when firing two spark plugs at once. The spark plugs are paired so that as one spark plug fires on the compression stroke, the other spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke. The next time the coil is fired the order is reversed. The next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine firing order.

{tag}704115727@

COIL ON PLUG
The COP ignition operates similar to standard coil pack ignition except each plug has one coil per plug. COP has three different modes of operation: engine crank, engine running, and CMP Failure Mode Effects Management.

Engine Crank/Engine Running
During engine crank the PCM will fire two spark plugs simultaneously. Of the two plugs simultaneously fired one will be under compression the other will be on the exhaust stroke. Both plugs will fire until camshaft position is identified by a successful camshaft position sensor signal. Once camshaft position is identified, only the cylinder under compression will be fired.

CMP FMEM
During CMP FMEM the COP ignition works the same as during engine crank. This allows the engine to operate without the PCM knowing if cylinder one is under compression or exhaust.

ENGINE COOLING FAN CONTROL

{tag}781030585@

CCRM Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C ON/OFF status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM controls the fan operation through the Fan Control (FC) output (single speed fan applications) or the Low Fan Control (LFC) and High Fan Control (HFC) outputs. Although the FC, low speed fan control and high speed fan control relays are normally open relays, the FC/LFC circuit is wired through a voltage inverter inside the CCRM. The voltage inverter ensures that the PCM must turn on (ground) the FC/LFC output to turn the fan off. This is done so the cooling fan will operate in the event of an open FC/LFC circuit.




Stand-Alone Fan Control Relay Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C on/off status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM determines engine cooling fan control requirements and controls the fan operation through the LFC and HFC outputs.

Variable Load Control Module Applications
The Mark VIII uses a variable speed cooling fan, which is controlled by the PCM and Variable Load Control Module (VLCM). The PCM monitors certain engine parameters (such as ECT sensor, vehicle speed, A/C demand, A/C head pressure) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM will send the desired fan speed to the VLCM through the BUS + and BUS - circuits. The VLCM then adjusts the fan speed according to vehicle battery positive voltage (B+) and outputs the appropriate voltage through the fan output driver with a pulsewidth modulated duty cycle. The following cooling fan information is sent from the VLCM to the PCM on the BUS + and BUS - circuits: Confirmation of cooling fan operation; any cooling fan secondary circuit faults that are detected.

The COP ignition operates similar to standard coil pack ignition except each plug has one coil per plug. COP has three different modes of operation: engine crank, engine running, and CMP Failure Mode Effects Management.

Engine Crank/Engine Running
During engine crank the PCM will fire two spark plugs simultaneously. Of the two plugs simultaneously fired one will be under compression the other will be on the exhaust stroke. Both plugs will fire until camshaft position is identified by a successful camshaft position sensor signal. Once camshaft position is identified, only the cylinder under compression will be fired.

CMP FMEM
During CMP FMEM the COP ignition works the same as during engine crank. This allows the engine to operate without the PCM knowing if cylinder one is under compression or exhaust.

ENGINE COOLING FAN CONTROL




CCRM Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C ON/OFF status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM controls the fan operation through the Fan Control (FC) output (single speed fan applications) or the Low Fan Control (LFC) and High Fan Control (HFC) outputs. Although the FC, low speed fan control and high speed fan control relays are normally open relays, the FC/LFC circuit is wired through a voltage inverter inside the CCRM. The voltage inverter ensures that the PCM must turn on (ground) the FC/LFC output to turn the fan off. This is done so the cooling fan will operate in the event of an open FC/LFC circuit.




Stand-Alone Fan Control Relay Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C on/off status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM determines engine cooling fan control requirements and controls the fan operation through the LFC and HFC outputs.

Variable Load Control Module Applications
The Mark VIII uses a variable speed cooling fan, which is controlled by the PCM and Variable Load Control Module (VLCM). The PCM monitors certain engine parameters (such as ECT sensor, vehicle speed, A/C demand, A/C head pressure) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM will send the desired fan speed to the VLCM through the BUS + and BUS - circuits. The VLCM then adjusts the fan speed according to vehicle battery positive voltage (B+) and outputs the appropriate voltage through the fan output driver with a pulsewidth modulated duty cycle. The following cooling fan information is sent from the VLCM to the PCM on the BUS + and BUS - circuits: Confirmation of cooling fan operation; any cooling fan secondary circuit faults that are detected.

FUEL PUMP

Applications Without a Fuel Pump Driver Module
The fuel pump is a PCM output signal that is used to control the electric fuel pump. With the electronic EC power relay contacts closed, vehicle Power (PWR) is sent to the coil of the fuel pump relay. For electric fuel pump operation, the PCM grounds the FP circuit, which is connected to the coil of the fuel pump relay. This energizes the coil and closes the contacts of the relay, sending B+ through the FP PWR circuit to the electric fuel pump. When the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump runs for about one second, but is then turned OFF by the PCM if engine rotation is not detected.

{tag}781036275@

For applications with two speed fuel pumps, a normally closed low speed fuel pump relay is wired into the FP PWR circuit. With the low speed fuel pump relay contacts in the normally closed position, full B+ is sent to the pump for high speed operation. For low speed fuel pump operation, the PCM will ground the Low Fuel Pump circuit, which opens the relay contacts. With the relay contacts open, power to the fuel pump must now pass through a resistor that is wired into the circuit.




Fuel Pump Driver Module Applications
The FP signal is a duty cycle command sent from the PCM to the Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM). The FPDM uses the FP command to operate the fuel pump at the speed requested by the PCM or to turn the pump OFF.

WIDE OPEN THROTTLE A/C CUT-OFF

CCRM Applications
For these applications, the wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay (may be referred to as the A/C relay) is normally open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch or EATC Module and the A/C clutch. The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for Town Car and Continental, this message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is requested, the PCM will check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW), ACCS). If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as coolant temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-off output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.

The Variable Load Control Module (VLCM), which is used on the Mark VIII, does not use a separate output circuit for Wide Open Throttle (WOT) A/C Cut-off. Instead, the A/C clutch control information is included in the two-way communication (using the BUS+ and BUS- circuits) between the VLCM and PCM. When A/C is requested the PCM will verify that A/C operation is desirable (for example, the engine not cranking, overheated, not at WOT or A/C pressure is not excessive). If A/C operation is desirable, the PCM will send a message to the VLCM to turn on the A/C clutch.

The VLCM sends messages to the PCM (through the BUS + and BUS - circuits) indicating the A/C status (ON or OFF), and if any A/C circuit faults are detected.

The Wide Open Throttle Air Conditioning Cut-off (WAC) output is used by the PCM to disengage the A/C clutch when A/C compressor operation is not desirable. Under normal conditions, with the A/C OFF, the PCM will ground the WAC output, which opens the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay (this relay may be inside the constant control relay module). When the A/C demand switch is turned ON, and the A/C cycling switch and A/C high pressure switch high pressure contacts are closed, voltage is supplied to the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts and to the ACCS circuit. The voltage on the ACCS circuit indicates to the PCM that A/C is requested. The PCM will then verify that A/C clutch operation is desirable (for example, engine not cranking, overheated or not at WOT). If A/C clutch operation is desirable, the PCM will adjust idle speed as necessary and "unground"the WAC output. This closes the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay and for all vehicles except Contour/Mystique, allows voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch. For Contour/Mystique, when the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts are closed voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch relay. This will close the normally open contacts of the A/C clutch relay and allow voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch.

The VLCM sends messages to the PCM (through the BUS + and BUS - circuits) indicating the A/C status (ON or OFF), and if any A/C circuit faults are detected.

The Wide Open Throttle Air Conditioning Cut-off (WAC) output is used by the PCM to disengage the A/C clutch when A/C compressor operation is not desirable. Under normal conditions, with the A/C OFF, the PCM will ground the WAC output, which opens the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay (this relay may be inside the constant control relay module). When the A/C demand switch is turned ON, and the A/C cycling switch and A/C high pressure switch high pressure contacts are closed, voltage is supplied to the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts and to the ACCS circuit. The voltage on the ACCS circuit indicates to the PCM that A/C is requested. The PCM will then verify that A/C clutch operation is desirable (for example, engine not cranking, overheated or not at WOT). If A/C clutch operation is desirable, the PCM will adjust idle speed as necessary and "unground"the WAC output. This closes the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay and for all vehicles except Contour/Mystique, allows voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch. For Contour/Mystique, when the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts are closed voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch relay. This will close the normally open contacts of the A/C clutch relay and allow voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch.

COIL PACK
A coil in a coil pack is turned ON (for example is coil charging) by the PCM, and is turned OFF when firing two spark plugs at once. The spark plugs are paired so that as one spark plug fires on the compression stroke, the other spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke. The next time the coil is fired the order is reversed. The next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine firing order.

COIL ON PLUG
The COP ignition operates similar to standard coil pack ignition except each plug has one coil per plug. COP has three different modes of operation: engine crank, engine running, and CMP Failure Mode Effects Management.

Engine Crank/Engine Running
During engine crank the PCM will fire two spark plugs simultaneously. Of the two plugs simultaneously fired one will be under compression the other will be on the exhaust stroke. Both plugs will fire until camshaft position is identified by a successful camshaft position sensor signal. Once camshaft position is identified, only the cylinder under compression will be fired.

CMP FMEM
During CMP FMEM the COP ignition works the same as during engine crank. This allows the engine to operate without the PCM knowing if cylinder one is under compression or exhaust.

CCRM Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C ON/OFF status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM controls the fan operation through the Fan Control (FC) output (single speed fan applications) or the Low Fan Control (LFC) and High Fan Control (HFC) outputs. Although the FC, low speed fan control and high speed fan control relays are normally open relays, the FC/LFC circuit is wired through a voltage inverter inside the CCRM. The voltage inverter ensures that the PCM must turn on (ground) the FC/LFC output to turn the fan off. This is done so the cooling fan will operate in the event of an open FC/LFC circuit.

Stand-Alone Fan Control Relay Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C on/off status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM determines engine cooling fan control requirements and controls the fan operation through the LFC and HFC outputs.

Variable Load Control Module Applications
The Mark VIII uses a variable speed cooling fan, which is controlled by the PCM and Variable Load Control Module (VLCM). The PCM monitors certain engine parameters (such as ECT sensor, vehicle speed, A/C demand, A/C head pressure) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM will send the desired fan speed to the VLCM through the BUS + and BUS - circuits. The VLCM then adjusts the fan speed according to vehicle battery positive voltage (B+) and outputs the appropriate voltage through the fan output driver with a pulsewidth modulated duty cycle. The following cooling fan information is sent from the VLCM to the PCM on the BUS + and BUS - circuits: Confirmation of cooling fan operation; any cooling fan secondary circuit faults that are detected.

FUEL PUMP

Applications Without a Fuel Pump Driver Module
The fuel pump is a PCM output signal that is used to control the electric fuel pump. With the electronic EC power relay contacts closed, vehicle Power (PWR) is sent to the coil of the fuel pump relay. For electric fuel pump operation, the PCM grounds the FP circuit, which is connected to the coil of the fuel pump relay. This energizes the coil and closes the contacts of the relay, sending B+ through the FP PWR circuit to the electric fuel pump. When the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump runs for about one second, but is then turned OFF by the PCM if engine rotation is not detected.

Low Speed Fuel Pump Relay WiringLow Speed Fuel Pump Relay Wiring


For applications with two speed fuel pumps, a normally closed low speed fuel pump relay is wired into the FP PWR circuit. With the low speed fuel pump relay contacts in the normally closed position, full B+ is sent to the pump for high speed operation. For low speed fuel pump operation, the PCM will ground the Low Fuel Pump circuit, which opens the relay contacts. With the relay contacts open, power to the fuel pump must now pass through a resistor that is wired into the circuit.




Fuel Pump Driver Module Applications
The FP signal is a duty cycle command sent from the PCM to the Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM). The FPDM uses the FP command to operate the fuel pump at the speed requested by the PCM or to turn the pump OFF.

WIDE OPEN THROTTLE A/C CUT-OFF

CCRM Applications
For these applications, the wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay (may be referred to as the A/C relay) is normally open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch or EATC Module and the A/C clutch. The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for Town Car and Continental, this message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is requested, the PCM will check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW), ACCS). If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as coolant temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-off output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.

The Variable Load Control Module (VLCM), which is used on the Mark VIII, does not use a separate output circuit for Wide Open Throttle (WOT) A/C Cut-off. Instead, the A/C clutch control information is included in the two-way communication (using the BUS+ and BUS- circuits) between the VLCM and PCM. When A/C is requested the PCM will verify that A/C operation is desirable (for example, the engine not cranking, overheated, not at WOT or A/C pressure is not excessive). If A/C operation is desirable, the PCM will send a message to the VLCM to turn on the A/C clutch.

For applications with two speed fuel pumps, a normally closed low speed fuel pump relay is wired into the FP PWR circuit. With the low speed fuel pump relay contacts in the normally closed position, full B+ is sent to the pump for high speed operation. For low speed fuel pump operation, the PCM will ground the Low Fuel Pump circuit, which opens the relay contacts. With the relay contacts open, power to the fuel pump must now pass through a resistor that is wired into the circuit.

WIDE OPEN THROTTLE A/C CUT-OFF

CCRM Applications
For these applications, the wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay (may be referred to as the A/C relay) is normally open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch or EATC Module and the A/C clutch. The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for Town Car and Continental, this message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is requested, the PCM will check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW), ACCS). If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as coolant temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-off output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.

The Variable Load Control Module (VLCM), which is used on the Mark VIII, does not use a separate output circuit for Wide Open Throttle (WOT) A/C Cut-off. Instead, the A/C clutch control information is included in the two-way communication (using the BUS+ and BUS- circuits) between the VLCM and PCM. When A/C is requested the PCM will verify that A/C operation is desirable (for example, the engine not cranking, overheated, not at WOT or A/C pressure is not excessive). If A/C operation is desirable, the PCM will send a message to the VLCM to turn on the A/C clutch.

The VLCM sends messages to the PCM (through the BUS + and BUS - circuits) indicating the A/C status (ON or OFF), and if any A/C circuit faults are detected.

The Wide Open Throttle Air Conditioning Cut-off (WAC) output is used by the PCM to disengage the A/C clutch when A/C compressor operation is not desirable. Under normal conditions, with the A/C OFF, the PCM will ground the WAC output, which opens the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay (this relay may be inside the constant control relay module). When the A/C demand switch is turned ON, and the A/C cycling switch and A/C high pressure switch high pressure contacts are closed, voltage is supplied to the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts and to the ACCS circuit. The voltage on the ACCS circuit indicates to the PCM that A/C is requested. The PCM will then verify that A/C clutch operation is desirable (for example, engine not cranking, overheated or not at WOT). If A/C clutch operation is desirable, the PCM will adjust idle speed as necessary and "unground"the WAC output. This closes the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay and for all vehicles except Contour/Mystique, allows voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch. For Contour/Mystique, when the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts are closed voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch relay. This will close the normally open contacts of the A/C clutch relay and allow voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch.

A coil in a coil pack is turned ON (for example is coil charging) by the PCM, and is turned OFF when firing two spark plugs at once. The spark plugs are paired so that as one spark plug fires on the compression stroke, the other spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke. The next time the coil is fired the order is reversed. The next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine firing order.

During engine crank the PCM will fire two spark plugs simultaneously. Of the two plugs simultaneously fired one will be under compression the other will be on the exhaust stroke. Both plugs will fire until camshaft position is identified by a successful camshaft position sensor signal. Once camshaft position is identified, only the cylinder under compression will be fired.

During CMP FMEM the COP ignition works the same as during engine crank. This allows the engine to operate without the PCM knowing if cylinder one is under compression or exhaust.

ENGINE COOLING FAN CONTROL




CCRM Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C ON/OFF status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM controls the fan operation through the Fan Control (FC) output (single speed fan applications) or the Low Fan Control (LFC) and High Fan Control (HFC) outputs. Although the FC, low speed fan control and high speed fan control relays are normally open relays, the FC/LFC circuit is wired through a voltage inverter inside the CCRM. The voltage inverter ensures that the PCM must turn on (ground) the FC/LFC output to turn the fan off. This is done so the cooling fan will operate in the event of an open FC/LFC circuit.

The PCM controls the fan operation through the Fan Control (FC) output (single speed fan applications) or the Low Fan Control (LFC) and High Fan Control (HFC) outputs. Although the FC, low speed fan control and high speed fan control relays are normally open relays, the FC/LFC circuit is wired through a voltage inverter inside the CCRM. The voltage inverter ensures that the PCM must turn on (ground) the FC/LFC output to turn the fan off. This is done so the cooling fan will operate in the event of an open FC/LFC circuit.

FUEL PUMP

Applications Without a Fuel Pump Driver Module
The fuel pump is a PCM output signal that is used to control the electric fuel pump. With the electronic EC power relay contacts closed, vehicle Power (PWR) is sent to the coil of the fuel pump relay. For electric fuel pump operation, the PCM grounds the FP circuit, which is connected to the coil of the fuel pump relay. This energizes the coil and closes the contacts of the relay, sending B+ through the FP PWR circuit to the electric fuel pump. When the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump runs for about one second, but is then turned OFF by the PCM if engine rotation is not detected.

Low Speed Fuel Pump Relay WiringLow Speed Fuel Pump Relay Wiring


For applications with two speed fuel pumps, a normally closed low speed fuel pump relay is wired into the FP PWR circuit. With the low speed fuel pump relay contacts in the normally closed position, full B+ is sent to the pump for high speed operation. For low speed fuel pump operation, the PCM will ground the Low Fuel Pump circuit, which opens the relay contacts. With the relay contacts open, power to the fuel pump must now pass through a resistor that is wired into the circuit.




Fuel Pump Driver Module Applications
The FP signal is a duty cycle command sent from the PCM to the Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM). The FPDM uses the FP command to operate the fuel pump at the speed requested by the PCM or to turn the pump OFF.

WIDE OPEN THROTTLE A/C CUT-OFF

CCRM Applications
For these applications, the wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay (may be referred to as the A/C relay) is normally open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch or EATC Module and the A/C clutch. The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for Town Car and Continental, this message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is requested, the PCM will check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW), ACCS). If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as coolant temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-off output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.

The Variable Load Control Module (VLCM), which is used on the Mark VIII, does not use a separate output circuit for Wide Open Throttle (WOT) A/C Cut-off. Instead, the A/C clutch control information is included in the two-way communication (using the BUS+ and BUS- circuits) between the VLCM and PCM. When A/C is requested the PCM will verify that A/C operation is desirable (for example, the engine not cranking, overheated, not at WOT or A/C pressure is not excessive). If A/C operation is desirable, the PCM will send a message to the VLCM to turn on the A/C clutch.

The VLCM sends messages to the PCM (through the BUS + and BUS - circuits) indicating the A/C status (ON or OFF), and if any A/C circuit faults are detected.

The Wide Open Throttle Air Conditioning Cut-off (WAC) output is used by the PCM to disengage the A/C clutch when A/C compressor operation is not desirable. Under normal conditions, with the A/C OFF, the PCM will ground the WAC output, which opens the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay (this relay may be inside the constant control relay module). When the A/C demand switch is turned ON, and the A/C cycling switch and A/C high pressure switch high pressure contacts are closed, voltage is supplied to the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts and to the ACCS circuit. The voltage on the ACCS circuit indicates to the PCM that A/C is requested. The PCM will then verify that A/C clutch operation is desirable (for example, engine not cranking, overheated or not at WOT). If A/C clutch operation is desirable, the PCM will adjust idle speed as necessary and "unground"the WAC output. This closes the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay and for all vehicles except Contour/Mystique, allows voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch. For Contour/Mystique, when the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts are closed voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch relay. This will close the normally open contacts of the A/C clutch relay and allow voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch.

Both plugs will fire until camshaft position is identified by a successful camshaft position sensor signal. Once camshaft position is identified, only the cylinder under compression will be fired.

When the A/C demand switch is turned ON, and the A/C cycling switch and A/C high pressure switch high pressure contacts are closed, voltage is supplied to the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts and to the ACCS circuit. The voltage on the ACCS circuit indicates to the PCM that A/C is requested. The PCM will then verify that A/C clutch operation is desirable (for example, engine not cranking, overheated or not at WOT). If A/C clutch operation is desirable, the PCM will adjust idle speed as necessary and "unground"the WAC output. This closes the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay and for all vehicles except Contour/Mystique, allows voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch. For Contour/Mystique, when the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts are closed voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch relay. This will close the normally open contacts of the A/C clutch relay and allow voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch.

Example: Six-Tower Coil PackExample: Six-Tower Coil Pack


COIL PACK
A coil in a coil pack is turned ON (for example is coil charging) by the PCM, and is turned OFF when firing two spark plugs at once. The spark plugs are paired so that as one spark plug fires on the compression stroke, the other spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke. The next time the coil is fired the order is reversed. The next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine firing order.

Coil On PlugCoil On Plug


COIL ON PLUG
The COP ignition operates similar to standard coil pack ignition except each plug has one coil per plug. COP has three different modes of operation: engine crank, engine running, and CMP Failure Mode Effects Management.

Engine Crank/Engine Running
During engine crank the PCM will fire two spark plugs simultaneously. Of the two plugs simultaneously fired one will be under compression the other will be on the exhaust stroke. Both plugs will fire until camshaft position is identified by a successful camshaft position sensor signal. Once camshaft position is identified, only the cylinder under compression will be fired.

CMP FMEM
During CMP FMEM the COP ignition works the same as during engine crank. This allows the engine to operate without the PCM knowing if cylinder one is under compression or exhaust.

ENGINE COOLING FAN CONTROL

{tag}781030585@

CCRM Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C ON/OFF status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM controls the fan operation through the Fan Control (FC) output (single speed fan applications) or the Low Fan Control (LFC) and High Fan Control (HFC) outputs. Although the FC, low speed fan control and high speed fan control relays are normally open relays, the FC/LFC circuit is wired through a voltage inverter inside the CCRM. The voltage inverter ensures that the PCM must turn on (ground) the FC/LFC output to turn the fan off. This is done so the cooling fan will operate in the event of an open FC/LFC circuit.




Stand-Alone Fan Control Relay Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C on/off status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM determines engine cooling fan control requirements and controls the fan operation through the LFC and HFC outputs.

Variable Load Control Module Applications
The Mark VIII uses a variable speed cooling fan, which is controlled by the PCM and Variable Load Control Module (VLCM). The PCM monitors certain engine parameters (such as ECT sensor, vehicle speed, A/C demand, A/C head pressure) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM will send the desired fan speed to the VLCM through the BUS + and BUS - circuits. The VLCM then adjusts the fan speed according to vehicle battery positive voltage (B+) and outputs the appropriate voltage through the fan output driver with a pulsewidth modulated duty cycle. The following cooling fan information is sent from the VLCM to the PCM on the BUS + and BUS - circuits: Confirmation of cooling fan operation; any cooling fan secondary circuit faults that are detected.

FUEL PUMP

Applications Without a Fuel Pump Driver Module
The fuel pump is a PCM output signal that is used to control the electric fuel pump. With the electronic EC power relay contacts closed, vehicle Power (PWR) is sent to the coil of the fuel pump relay. For electric fuel pump operation, the PCM grounds the FP circuit, which is connected to the coil of the fuel pump relay. This energizes the coil and closes the contacts of the relay, sending B+ through the FP PWR circuit to the electric fuel pump. When the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump runs for about one second, but is then turned OFF by the PCM if engine rotation is not detected.

Low Speed Fuel Pump Relay WiringLow Speed Fuel Pump Relay Wiring


For applications with two speed fuel pumps, a normally closed low speed fuel pump relay is wired into the FP PWR circuit. With the low speed fuel pump relay contacts in the normally closed position, full B+ is sent to the pump for high speed operation. For low speed fuel pump operation, the PCM will ground the Low Fuel Pump circuit, which opens the relay contacts. With the relay contacts open, power to the fuel pump must now pass through a resistor that is wired into the circuit.




Fuel Pump Driver Module Applications
The FP signal is a duty cycle command sent from the PCM to the Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM). The FPDM uses the FP command to operate the fuel pump at the speed requested by the PCM or to turn the pump OFF.

WIDE OPEN THROTTLE A/C CUT-OFF

CCRM Applications
For these applications, the wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay (may be referred to as the A/C relay) is normally open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch or EATC Module and the A/C clutch. The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for Town Car and Continental, this message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is requested, the PCM will check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW), ACCS). If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as coolant temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-off output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.

The Variable Load Control Module (VLCM), which is used on the Mark VIII, does not use a separate output circuit for Wide Open Throttle (WOT) A/C Cut-off. Instead, the A/C clutch control information is included in the two-way communication (using the BUS+ and BUS- circuits) between the VLCM and PCM. When A/C is requested the PCM will verify that A/C operation is desirable (for example, the engine not cranking, overheated, not at WOT or A/C pressure is not excessive). If A/C operation is desirable, the PCM will send a message to the VLCM to turn on the A/C clutch.

The VLCM sends messages to the PCM (through the BUS + and BUS - circuits) indicating the A/C status (ON or OFF), and if any A/C circuit faults are detected.

The Wide Open Throttle Air Conditioning Cut-off (WAC) output is used by the PCM to disengage the A/C clutch when A/C compressor operation is not desirable. Under normal conditions, with the A/C OFF, the PCM will ground the WAC output, which opens the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay (this relay may be inside the constant control relay module).

For Contour/Mystique, when the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts are closed voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch relay.

WIDE OPEN THROTTLE A/C CUT-OFF

CCRM Applications
For these applications, the wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay (may be referred to as the A/C relay) is normally open. There is no direct electrical connection between the A/C switch or EATC Module and the A/C clutch. The PCM will receive a signal indicating that A/C is requested (for Town Car and Continental, this message is sent through the BUS + and BUS - circuits). When A/C is requested, the PCM will check other A/C related inputs that are available (such as ACP (SW), ACCS). If these inputs indicate A/C operation is OK, and the engine conditions are OK (such as coolant temperature, engine rpm, throttle position), the PCM will ground the Wide Open Throttle A/C Cut-off output, closing the relay contacts and sending voltage to the A/C clutch.

The Variable Load Control Module (VLCM), which is used on the Mark VIII, does not use a separate output circuit for Wide Open Throttle (WOT) A/C Cut-off. Instead, the A/C clutch control information is included in the two-way communication (using the BUS+ and BUS- circuits) between the VLCM and PCM. When A/C is requested the PCM will verify that A/C operation is desirable (for example, the engine not cranking, overheated, not at WOT or A/C pressure is not excessive). If A/C operation is desirable, the PCM will send a message to the VLCM to turn on the A/C clutch.

The VLCM sends messages to the PCM (through the BUS + and BUS - circuits) indicating the A/C status (ON or OFF), and if any A/C circuit faults are detected.

The Wide Open Throttle Air Conditioning Cut-off (WAC) output is used by the PCM to disengage the A/C clutch when A/C compressor operation is not desirable. Under normal conditions, with the A/C OFF, the PCM will ground the WAC output, which opens the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay (this relay may be inside the constant control relay module). When the A/C demand switch is turned ON, and the A/C cycling switch and A/C high pressure switch high pressure contacts are closed, voltage is supplied to the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts and to the ACCS circuit. The voltage on the ACCS circuit indicates to the PCM that A/C is requested. The PCM will then verify that A/C clutch operation is desirable (for example, engine not cranking, overheated or not at WOT). If A/C clutch operation is desirable, the PCM will adjust idle speed as necessary and "unground"the WAC output. This closes the normally closed WOT A/C cut-off relay and for all vehicles except Contour/Mystique, allows voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch. For Contour/Mystique, when the WOT A/C cut-off relay contacts are closed voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch relay. This will close the normally open contacts of the A/C clutch relay and allow voltage to be supplied to the A/C clutch.

Example: Six-Tower Coil PackExample: Six-Tower Coil Pack


COIL PACK
A coil in a coil pack is turned ON (for example is coil charging) by the PCM, and is turned OFF when firing two spark plugs at once. The spark plugs are paired so that as one spark plug fires on the compression stroke, the other spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke. The next time the coil is fired the order is reversed. The next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine firing order.

Coil On PlugCoil On Plug


COIL ON PLUG
The COP ignition operates similar to standard coil pack ignition except each plug has one coil per plug. COP has three different modes of operation: engine crank, engine running, and CMP Failure Mode Effects Management.

Engine Crank/Engine Running
During engine crank the PCM will fire two spark plugs simultaneously. Of the two plugs simultaneously fired one will be under compression the other will be on the exhaust stroke. Both plugs will fire until camshaft position is identified by a successful camshaft position sensor signal. Once camshaft position is identified, only the cylinder under compression will be fired.

CMP FMEM
During CMP FMEM the COP ignition works the same as during engine crank. This allows the engine to operate without the PCM knowing if cylinder one is under compression or exhaust.

ENGINE COOLING FAN CONTROL




CCRM Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C ON/OFF status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM controls the fan operation through the Fan Control (FC) output (single speed fan applications) or the Low Fan Control (LFC) and High Fan Control (HFC) outputs. Although the FC, low speed fan control and high speed fan control relays are normally open relays, the FC/LFC circuit is wired through a voltage inverter inside the CCRM. The voltage inverter ensures that the PCM must turn on (ground) the FC/LFC output to turn the fan off. This is done so the cooling fan will operate in the event of an open FC/LFC circuit.




Stand-Alone Fan Control Relay Applications
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C on/off status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM determines engine cooling fan control requirements and controls the fan operation through the LFC and HFC outputs.

Variable Load Control Module Applications
The Mark VIII uses a variable speed cooling fan, which is controlled by the PCM and Variable Load Control Module (VLCM). The PCM monitors certain engine parameters (such as ECT sensor, vehicle speed, A/C demand, A/C head pressure) to determine engine cooling fan needs. The PCM will send the desired fan speed to the VLCM through the BUS + and BUS - circuits. The VLCM then adjusts the fan speed according to vehicle battery positive voltage (B+) and outputs the appropriate voltage through the fan output driver with a pulsewidth modulated duty cycle. The following cooling fan information is sent from the VLCM to the PCM on the BUS + and BUS - circuits: Confirmation of cooling fan operation; any cooling fan secondary circuit faults that are detected.

FUEL PUMP

Applications Without a Fuel Pump Driver Module
The fuel pump is a PCM output signal that is used to control the electric fuel pump. With the electronic EC power relay contacts closed, vehicle Power (PWR) is sent to the coil of the fuel pump relay. For electric fuel pump operation, the PCM grounds the FP circuit, which is connected to the coil of the fuel pump relay. This energizes the coil and closes the contacts of the relay, sending B+ through the FP PWR circuit to the electric fuel pump. When the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump runs for about one second, but is then turned OFF by the PCM if engine rotation is not detected.

Low Speed Fuel Pump Relay WiringLow Speed Fuel Pump Relay Wiring


For applications with two speed fuel pumps, a normally closed low speed fuel pump relay is wired into the FP PWR circuit. With the low speed fuel pump relay contacts in the normally closed position, full B+ is sent to the pump for high speed operation. For low speed fuel pump operation, the PCM will ground the Low Fuel Pump circuit, which opens the relay contacts. With the relay contacts open, power to the fuel pump must now pass through a resistor that is wired into the circuit.




Fuel Pump Driver Module Applications
The FP signal is a duty cycle command sent from the PCM to the Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM). The FPDM uses the FP command to operate the fuel pump at the speed requested by the PCM or to turn the pump OFF.
