NOTE: Not all sensors are present on all models.
Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor - Mounted in an engine coolant passage, sends engine operating temperature information to the ECM.
Oxygen Sensor - Mounted in the exhaust system, monitors oxygen content in the exhaust gas stream. The ECM receives this information and adjusts the air/fuel ratio as necessary.
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor - Measures changes in intake manifold pressure resulting from engine load and speed changes.
- As the pressure changes, the electrical resistance of the sensor changes. This change in resistance causes a voltage change which is amplified and sent to the ECM.
Vehicle Speed Sensor - Located behind the speedometer in the instrument cluster, sends a series of pulses to the ECM used to determine road speed.
- The ECM uses this information to control the idle air control motor, canister purge and [1][2]torque converter clutch. Do not drive vehicle without VSS connected, as idle quality may be affected.
Throttle Position Sensor - Connected to the throttle shaft, is controlled by the throttle mechanism. The TPS converts the throttle valve angle to an electrical signal and transmits the signal to the ECM.
Hall Effect Unit - The Hall Effect Unit is located above the pickup coil in the distributor and sends engine RPM information to the ECM. This unit is used in place of the "R" terminal of the conventional HEI module.
Park/Neutral Switch - The park/neutral switch indicates to the ECM when the transmission is in park or neutral. Do not drive vehicle with park/neutral switch disconnected, as idle quality may be affected in park or neutral.
A/C Compressor Clutch Engagement - The A/C compressor clutch engagement signal tells the ECM that the A/C compressor clutch is engaged.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
