The 1987 Turbo I Logic Module

[ Red Connector | Blue Connector ]

Description

This page contains information specific to the 1987 Turbo I logic modules.  If you are not familiar with what the logic module is, please see the Understanding The Chrysler Engine Control Unit page before reading this one.

These logic modules use a Motorola 6803 processor.  The software and calibration tables are stored in a single 16kx8 EPROM (27C128) and a new 6840 timer chip was added to improve the accuracy of things like ignition and injector firings and reduce the loop time of the software to 22 miiliseconds.  The MAP sensor was moved to the engine bay on the passenger side strut tower to cure the problem of freezing water collecting in the sensor.  Also, the canister purge and EGR solenoids were merged into a single solenoid and the speed control electronics (if equipped with cruise control) were moved from the speed control servo to the logic module.  There were also a few other pin-out changes.

In 1987 the L-body platform did not receive the same electronics updates that the other platforms received.  Therefore, please refer to the 1986 Turbo I Logic Module page for information on the 1987 Turbo I L-body vehicles.

Supposedly starting in mid-1986, some Turbo I logic modules were equipped with the electronics necessary to control the Turbo II 4-wire AIS motor.  There is no way to identify from the outside if a particular logic module has this capability.  The only way to tell is to open it and look for the electronics.  I will add details on this as soon as I figure it out.  Most if not all 1987 Turbo I logic modules have the necessary electronics to work as a Turbo II.


Connectors

The logic module has two 25-pin connectors.  The following sections contain a diagram and pin-out for each.  The wire colors are in the color/tracer* format (BK/WT* = black wire with a white tracer).  Below is a list of color abbreviations:


Code Color Code Color Code Color
BK Black LB Light Blue TN Tan
BR Brown LG Light Green VT Violet
DB Dark Blue OR Orange WT White
DG Dark Green PK Pink YL Yellow
GY Grey RD Red * tracer
