Functionality of PowertrainControl Module (PCM) inOBD <strong>II</strong> <strong>Diagnostics</strong>Perform powertrain control functions <strong>to</strong> reduce emissionsand meet OBD <strong>II</strong> regulations in closed-loop loop control.EGR Control: At high engine load (high throttle angle), and high Engine RPM,and at high engine coolant temperature, the cylinder temperature at combustionreaches temperature greater than 3000 0 F which causes NOx emissions <strong>to</strong> increasebeyond the OBD <strong>II</strong> limits. For this reason, the PCM recirculates a small portion ofthe exhaust gases in<strong>to</strong> the intake manifold. This has the effect of reducing oxygencontent without reducing the mass of gas processed. The combustion impartsenergy <strong>to</strong> the inert exhausts gas as well as <strong>to</strong> the air charge. The net effect is<strong>to</strong> retain much of the engine power while reducing the flame temperatureat part load, thus decreasing production of NOx. The PCM controls the EGRvalve depending on the throttle angle, engine RPM, coolant temperature. EGR iscompletely closed during cold start and during start up of the engine.The duty cycle of the EGR valve is obtained from predefined table lookup.
