ISSUE: The Emission Maintenance Warning "EMW" module operates a light that is located on the instrument panel. For 1985-87 model year vehicles, the light will display the word "EMISSIONS". For 1988-89 model year vehicles, the light will display the words "CHECK ENGINE". When the light is lit, it is indicating that the 60,000 mile emission maintenance should be performed. After the maintenance is performed the EMW module must be reset to zero time. Another type of module is the "IMS" module. This module is not part of the light circuit and does not require maintenance. At a predetermined time, the IMS module directs the EEC IV processor to make a strategy change. A third type of module is the "COMBO" module. This module combines the functions of the IMS and the EMW modules.
ACTION: Refer to the following module application charts for the specific vehicle application and location of the different types of modules.
NOTE: FOR APPLICATIONS NOT LOSTED IN THE FOLLOWING MODULE APPLICATION CHARTS, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT IS CONTROLLED BY THE EEC IV PROCESSOR. THESE VEHICLES DO NOT USE THE "EMW" MODULE.
