Voltage Signal: Description and Operation

BATTERY VOLTAGE-PCM INPUT

The battery voltage input provides power to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). It also informs the PCM what voltage level is supplied to the ignition coil and fuel injectors.

If battery voltage is low, the PCM will increase injector pulse width (period of time that the injector is energized). This is done to compensate for the reduced flow through injector caused by the lowered voltage.


FIVE VOLT SENSOR SUPPLY-PRIMARY

Supplies the required 5 volt power source to the crankshaft position sensor, cam shaft position sensor, MAP sensor and throttle position sensor


FIVE VOLT SENSOR SUPPLY-SECONDARY

Supplies the required 5 volt source to the vehicle speed sensor.
