Input Components

2001 Chevrolet Express 1 Ton Van V8-5.7L VIN RSECTION Input Components
The PCM monitors the input components for circuit continuity and out-of-range values. This includes performance checking. Performance checking refers to indicating a fault when the signal from a sensor does not seem reasonable, such as a Throttle Position (TP) sensor that indicates high throttle position at low engine loads or Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) voltage. The input components may include, but are not limited to, the following sensors:
^ The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
^ The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
^ The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor
^ The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor
^ The Knock Sensor (KS)
^ The Throttle Position (TP) sensor
^ The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor
^ The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor
^ The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor

In addition to the circuit continuity and rationality check, the ECT sensor is monitored for its ability to achieve a steady state temperature to enable Closed Loop fuel control.

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.
