"ECM Override" Test Function

The ECM override feature allows testing of certain system functions regardless of normal program instructions. Upon selecting a test, the current operation of that function will be displayed as a percentage of its full range on the ECC panel. The display will alternate between "--" for 1 second followed by the normal program command for 10 seconds. This alternating display is a reminder that the function is not currently being overridden. Pressing the WARMER or COOLER buttons on the ECC panel initiates the override at which time the display will no longer alternate to "--" .

Pressing the WARMER button increases the override value while pressing the COOLER button decreases the override value. Upon release of the button, the display may either remain at the overridden value or automatically return to normal program control. This depends on which function is being overridden at the time. If the display remains at the override value, normal program control can be resumed in one of three ways:

1. Selection of another override test will cancel the current override.
2. Selection of another system (i.e., ECM to BCM) will cancel the current override.
3. On some system overrides, overriding the value beyond either extreme (0 or 99) will display "--" momentarily and the jump to the opposite extreme. If the button is released while "--" is displayed, normal program control will resume and the display will again alternate.

The following is a list of ECM Overrides:

4. ES03
   
   ISC motor.

   1. TEST CONDITIONS
      
      Vehicle in Park or Neutral. A/C and EGR are OFF and Spark Advance is at a calculated value, when test is active. When ISC stopped the ECC displays 50.
   2. WARMER BUTTON
      
      With engine OFF the ISC plunger will extend until it ratchets once and, ECC will display 99. With engine ON -- will be displayed.
   3. COOLER BUTTON
      
      With engine OFF retract ISC, FDC displays 00. With engine ON ISC will retract to base idle.
5. ES04
   
   Injector Cutout (Power Balance).

   1. TEST CONDITIONS
      
      Transmission in Park or Neutral. A/C is OFF, ISC is fixed, and Integrator and Block Learn are OFF, when test is active.
   2. WARMER BUTTON
      
      Depressing the warmer button will select an Injector and will increment at the rate of one selection per second and, ECC will display injector selected.
   3. COOLER BUTTON
      
      Depressing the cooler button will cause Injector Cutoff and, ECC display injector 00.
6. ES05
   
   Fuel Pump Relay. Vehicle in Park or Neutral. (Engine On), ECC will display 99. (Engine OFF), ECC will displays 00.

   1. COOLER BUTTON
      
      With engine ON, relay OFF, ECC displays 00. Display will return to 99 when the button is released.
7. ES06
   
   AIR System.

   1. WARMER BUTTON
      
      ELECTRIC SWITCHING VALVE (ESV). Each time the WARMER button is depressed the state of the valve will change. "0" indicates the solenoid is de-energized. "1" indicates the solenoid is energized. ECC displays 01 or 00.
   2. COOLER BUTTON
      
      ELECTRIC DIVERT VALVE (EDV) ON/OFF. Each time the COOLER button is depressed the state of the valve will change. "0" indicates the solenoid is de-energized. "1" indicates the solenoid is energized. ECC displays 10 or 00.
8. ES07
   
   Cruise Servo.

   1. WARMER BUTTON
      
      Retract Servo, ECC displays 00 to 99.
   NOTE: Engine should be run to charge vacuum reservoir before performing this test. Display will show the percent of servo apply with 99 equaling full retract and 00 equaling full extend. Engine is off when test is performed. "--" will be displayed when engine is running.
   2. COOLER BUTTON
      Extend Servo, ECC displays 99 to 00.
9. ES08
   
   Cooling Fan.

   1. WARMER BUTTON
      
      HI Relay On/Off, ECC displays 11.
   NOTE: Both cooling fans will run in HI and Low speeds. Each time the WARMER or COOLER button is depressed the state of the relay will change. "0" indicates the relay is de-energized. "1" indicates the solenoid is energized. The Series, Series Parallel, and Parallel relays are energized together to produce high speed.
   2. COOLER BUTTON
      Low Relay On/Off, ECC displays 10.
10. ES09
    
    Fixed Spark.
    NOTE: A calculated advance will be displayed when this test is selected. When Cooler button is depressed the first time, spark is fixed at 10°. When the Cooler button is depressed the second time The ECM will calculate a 1 or 2 degree retard. The ECM will calculate a 1 or 2 degree advance when the warmer button is depressed. If an advance is selected greater than calculated value "--" will be displayed.
