General System Description




The engine controller is a pre-programmed digital, microprocessor digital computer. The engine controller is located in the engine compartment, behind the battery and under the left front fender.

The engine controller contains a voltage converter, which converts battery voltage to a regulated 8.0 volts. This is used to power the engine speed sensor. The engine controller provides a 5.0 volt supply for the throttle position sensor (TPS). The TPS is not used on trucks equipped with a manual transmission.

Various sensors, switches and relays provide the input necessary for operation of the engine controller.
