REMEMBER
This Pinpoint Test is intended to diagnose only the following:
- Harness circuits: CID (+), CID (-), CID, SIG RTN
- CID Sensor
- Processor assembly
DESCRIPTION
The EEC-IV processor uses CID sensor information for fuel injection synchronization. The CID signal is also input to the DIS module and is generated by a hall device with a 50 percent duty cycle and an amplitude that varies from 0.4 volts to VBAT.
