Comprehensive Component Monitor (CCM)
The CCM is an on board strategy designed to monitor a concern in any electronic component or circuit that provides an
input or output signal to the PCM and is not exclusively monitored by another monitor system. Inputs and outputs are
considered inoperative when a concern exists due to a lack of circuit continuity, out of range value or rationality checks.
The CCM covers many components and the related circuits. The tests vary depending on the hardware, function, and type
of signal. For example, analog inputs are typically checked for opens, shorts, and out of range values or rationality. This
type of monitoring is carried out continuously. These tests may require the monitoring of several components and may only
be carried out under the appropriate test conditions. Some outputs are also monitored for the correct function by observing
the reaction of the control system to a given change in the output command. An example of this is the turbocharger control
system.
In general, the CCM covers a broad range of individual component and circuit checks, and testing is carried out under
various conditions. The CCM is enabled after the ignition switch is turned on. If a concern is detected that impacts
emissions, the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is illuminated after 2 drive cycles.
The following are examples of some of the input and output components monitored by the CCM. The components
monitored may belong to the engine, transmission, or any other PCM supported subsystem.
The input components monitored include the engine oil temperature (EOT), accelerator pedal position (APP), and
camshaft position (CMP) sensors.
The output components monitored include the fuel pump.
The MIL is activated after a concern is detected if the concern impacts emissions.
