Diagnosis
Strategy-Based Diagnostics
Strategy-Based Diagnostics
The strategy-based diagnostic is a uniform approach to
repair all Electrical/Electronic (E/E) systems. The
diagnostic flow can always be used to resolve an E/E
system problem and is a starting point when repairs are
necessary. The following steps will instruct the technician
how to proceed with a diagnosis:
1.Verify the customer complaint.
DTo verify the customer complaint, the technician
should know the normal operation of the system.
2.Perform preliminary checks.
DConduct a thorough visual inspection.
DReview the service history.
DDetect unusual sounds or odors.
DGather diagnostic trouble code information to
achieve an effective repair.
3.Check bulletins and other service information.
DThis includes videos, newsletters, etc.
4.Refer to service information (manual) system
check(s).
D“System checks” contain information on a system
that may not be supported by one or more DTCs.
System checks verify proper operation of the
system. This will lead the technician in an
organized approach to diagnostics.
5.Refer to service diagnostics.
DTC Stored
Follow the designated DTC chart exactly to make an
effective repair.
No DTC
Select the symptom from the symptom tables. Follow the
diagnostic paths or suggestions to complete the repair.
You may refer to the applicable component/system check
in the system checks.
No Matching Symptom
1.Analyze the complaint.
2.Develop a plan for diagnostics.
3.Utilize the wiring diagrams and the theory of
operation.
Combine technician knowledge with efficient use of the
available service information.
Intermittents
Conditions that are not always present are called
intermittents. To resolve intermittents, perform the
following steps:
1.Observe history DTCs, DTC modes, and freezeframe
data.
2.Evaluate the symptoms and the conditions described
by the customer.
3.Use a check sheet or other method to identify the
circuit or electrical system component.
4.Follow the suggestions for intermittent diagnosis
found in the service documentation.
Most scan tools, such as the Tech 2, have data-capturing
capabilities that can assist in detecting intermittents.
No Trouble Found
This condition exists when the vehicle is found to operate
normally. The condition described by the customer may
be normal. Verify the customer complaint against another
vehicle that is operating normally. The condition may be
intermittent. Verify the complaint under the conditions
described by the customer before releasing the vehicle.
1.Re-examine the complaint.
When the complaint cannot be successfully found or
isolated, a re-evaluation is necessary. The complaint
should be re-verified and could be intermittent as
defined in
Intermittents
, or could be normal.
2.Repair and verify.
After isolating the cause, the repairs should be made.
Validate for proper operation and verify that the
symptom has been corrected. This may involve road
testing or other methods to verify that the complaint
has been resolved under the following conditions:
DConditions noted by the customer.
DIf a DTC was diagnosed, verify a repair by
duplicating conditions present when the DTC was
set as noted in the Failure Records or Freeze
Frame data.
Verifying Vehicle Repair
Verification of the vehicle repair will be more
comprehensive for vehicles with OBD II system
diagnostics. Following a repair, the technician should
perform the following steps:
IMPORTANT:Follow the steps below when you verify
repairs on OBD II systems. Failure to follow these steps
could result in unnecessary repairs.
1.Review and record the Failure Records and the
Freeze Frame data for the DTC which has been
diagnosed (Freeze Frame data will only be stored for
an A or B type diagnostic and only if the MIL (“Check
Engine” lamp) has been requested).
2.Clear the DTC(s).
3.Operate the vehicle within conditions noted in the
Failure Records and Freeze Frame data.
4.Monitor the DTC status information for the DTC which
has been diagnosed until the diagnostic test
associated with that DTC runs.
General Service Information
Non-OEM Parts
All of the OBD II diagnostics have been calibrated to run
with OEM parts. Something as simple as a
high-performance exhaust system that affects exhaust
system back pressure could potentially interfere with the
operation of the EGR valve and thereby turn on the MIL
(“Check Engine” lamp). Small leaks in the exhaust
system near the post catalyst oxygen sensor can also
cause the MIL (“Check Engine” lamp) to turn on.
Aftermarket electronics, such as transceiver, stereos,
and anti-theft devices, may radiate EMI into the control
system if they are improperly installed. This may cause a
false sensor reading and turn on the MIL (“Check Engine”
lamp).
Environment
Temporary environmental conditions, such as localized
flooding, will have an effect on the vehicle ignition system.
If the ignition system is rain-soaked, it can temporarily
cause engine misfire and turn on the MIL (“Check Engine”
lamp).
Emissions Control Information Label
The engine compartment “Vehicle Emissions Control
Information Label” contains important emission
specifications and setting procedures. In the upper left
corner is exhaust emission information. There is also an

Visual/Physical Engine Compartment
Inspection
Perform a careful visual and physical engine
compartment inspection when performing any diagnostic
procedure or diagnosing the cause of an emission test
failure. This can often lead to repairing a problem without
further steps. Use the following guidelines when
performing a visual/physical inspection:
DInspect all vacuum hoses for pinches, cuts,
disconnections, and proper routing.
DInspect hoses that are difficult to see behind other
components.
DInspect all wires in the engine compartment for proper
connections, burned or chafed spots, pinched wires,
contact with sharp edges or contact with hot exhaust
manifolds or pipes.
Basic Knowledge of Tools Required
NOTE: Lack of basic knowledge of this powertrain when
performing diagnostic procedures could result in an
incorrect diagnosis or damage to powertrain
components. Do not attempt to diagnose a powertrain
problem without this basic knowledge.
A basic understanding of hand tools is necessary to effec-
tively use this section of the Service Manual.
Seral Data Communications
Class II Serial Data Communications
Government regulations require that all vehicle
manufacturers establish a common communication
system. This vehicle utilizes the “Class II”
communication system. Each bit of information can have
one of two lengths: long or short. This allows vehicle
wiring to be reduced by transmitting and receiving
multiple signals over a single wire. The messages carried
on Class II data streams are also prioritized. If two
messages attempt to establish communications on the
data line at the same time, only the message with higher
priority will continue. The device with the lower priority
message must wait. The most significant result of this
regulation is that it provides Tech 2 manufacturers with
the capability to access data from any make or model
vehicle that is sold.
The data displayed on the other Tech 2 will appear the
same, with some exceptions. Some scan tools will only
be able to display certain vehicle parameters as values
that are a coded representation of the true or actual value.
For more information on this system of coding, refer to
Decimal/Binary/Hexadecimal Conversions.
On this
vehicle the Tech 2 displays the actual values for vehicle
parameters. It will not be necessary to perform any
conversions from coded values to actual values.
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD)
On-Board Diagnostic Tests
A diagnostic test is a series of steps, the result of which is
a pass or fail reported to the diagnostic executive. When
a diagnostic test reports a pass result, the diagnostic
executive records the following data:
DThe diagnostic test has been completed since the last
ignition cycle.
DThe diagnostic test has passed during the current
ignition cycle.
DThe fault identified by the diagnostic test is not
currently active.
When a diagnostic test reports a fail result, the diagnostic
executive records the following data:
DThe diagnostic test has been completed since the last
ignition cycle.
DThe fault identified by the diagnostic test is currently
active.
DThe fault has been active during this ignition cycle.
DThe operating conditions at the time of the failure.
Remember, a fuel trim DTC may be triggered by a list of
vehicle faults. Make use of all information available (other
DTCs stored, rich or lean condition, etc.) when
diagnosing a fuel trim fault.
Comprehensive Component Monitor
Diagnostic Operation
Input Components:
Input components are monitored for circuit continuity and
out-of-range values. This includes rationality checking.
Rationality checking refers to indicating a fault when the
signal from a sensor does not seem reasonable,
i.e.Throttle Position (TP) sensor that indicates high
throttle position at low engine loads or MAP voltage. Input
components may include, but are not limited to the
following sensors:
DVehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
DCrankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
DKnock Sensor (KS)
DThrottle Position (TP) Sensor
DEngine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
DCamshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
DManifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
DMass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
In addition to the circuit continuity and rationality check
the ECT sensor is monitored for its ability to achieve a
steady state temperature to enable closed loop fuel
control.
Output Components:
Output components are diagnosed for proper response to
control module commands. Components where
functional monitoring is not feasible will be monitored for
circuit continuity and out-of-range values if applicable.
Output components to be monitored include, but are not
limited to, the following circuit:
DIdle Air Control (IAC) Motor
DControl module controlled EVAP Canister Purge
Valve
DElectronic Transmission controls
DA/C relays
DCooling fan relay
DVSS output
DMIL control
Refer to PCM and Sensors in General Descriptions.
Passive and Active Diagnostic Tests
A passive test is a diagnostic test which simply monitors a
vehicle system or component. Conversely, an active test,
actually takes some sort of action when performing
diagnostic functions, often in response to a failed passive
test. For example, the EGR diagnostic active test will
force the EGR valve open during closed throttle decel
and/or force the EGR valve closed during a steady state.
Either action should result in a change in manifold
pressure.
Intrusive Diagnostic Tests
This is any on-board test run by the Diagnostic
Management System which may have an effect on
vehicle performance or emission levels.
Warm-Up Cycle
A warm-up cycle means that engine at temperature must
reach a minimum of 70°C (160°F)
and
rise at least 22°C
(40°F) over the course of a trip.
Freeze Frame
Freeze Frame is an element of the Diagnostic
Management System which stores various vehicle
information at the moment an emissions-related fault is
stored in memory and when the MIL is commanded on.
These data can help to identify the cause of a fault. Refer
to
Storing And Erasing Freeze Fame Data
for more
detailed information.
Failure Records
Failure Records data is an enhancement of the OBD II
Freeze Frame feature.Failure Records store the same
vehicle information as does Freeze Frame, but it will store
that information for any fault which is stored in on-board
memory, while Freeze Frame stores information only for
emission-related faults that command the MIL on.
Common OBD Terms
Diagnostic
When used as a noun, the word diagnostic refers to any
on-board test run by the vehicle’s Diagnostic
Management System. A diagnostic is simply a test run on
a system or component to determine if the system or
component is operating according to specification. There
are many diagnostics, shown in the following list:
DOxygen sensors
DOxygen sensor heaters
DEGR
Enable Criteria
The term “enable criteria” is engineering language for the
conditions necessary for a given diagnostic test to run.
Each diagnostic has a specific list of conditions which
must be met before the diagnostic will run. “Enable
criteria” is another way of saying “conditions required”.
The enable criteria for each diagnostic is listed on the first
page of the DTC description in Section 6E under the
heading “Conditions for Setting the DTC”. Enable criteria
varies with each diagnostic, and typically includes, but is
not limited to the following items:
Dengine speed
Dvehicle speed
DECT
DMAF/MAP
Dbarometric pressure
DIAT
DTP
DTCC enabled
DA/C on
Trip
Technically , a trip is a key on-run-key off cycle in which all
the enable criteria for a given diagnostic are met, allowing
the diagnostic to run. Unfortunately, this concept is not
quite that simple. A trip is official when all the enable
criteria for a given diagnostic are met. But because the
enable criteria vary from one diagnostic to another, the
definition of trip varies as well. Some diagnostic are run
when the vehicle is at operating temperature, some when
the vehicle first starts up; some require that the vehicle be
cruising at a steady highway speed, some run only when
the vehicle is idle; some diagnostics function with the
TCC disables. Some run only immediately following a
cold engine start-up.
A trip then, is defined as a key on-run-key off cycle in
which the vehicle was operated in such a way as to satisfy
the enabling criteria for a given diagnostic, and this
diagnostic will consider this cycle to be one trip. However ,
another diagnostic with a different set of enable criteria
(which were not met) during this driving event, would not
consider it a trip. No trip will occur for that particular
diagnostic until the vehicle is driven in such a way as to
meet all the enable criteria.
The Diagnostic Executive
The Diagnostic Executive is a unique segment of
software which is designed to coordinate and prioritize
the diagnostic procedures as well as define the protocol
for recording and displaying their results. The main
responsibilities of the Diagnostic Executive are listed as
follows:
DCommanding the MIL (“Check Engine” lamp) on and
off
DDTC logging and clearing
DFreeze Frame data for the first emission related DTC
recorded
DNon-emission related Service Lamp (future)
DOperating conditions Failure Records buffer, (the
number of records will vary)
DCurrent status information on each diagnostic
DSystem Status (I/M ready)
The Diagnostic Executive records DTCs and turns on the
MIL when emission-related faults occur. It can also turn
off the MIL if the conditions cease which caused the DTC
to set.
Diagnostic Information
The diagnostic charts and functional checks are designed
to locate a faulty circuit or component through a process
of logical decisions. The charts are prepared with the
requirement that the vehicle functioned correctly at the
time of assembly and that there are no multiple faults
present.
There is a continuous self-diagnosis on certain control
functions. This diagnostic capability is complemented by
the diagnostic procedures contained in this manual. The
language of communicating the source of the malfunction
is a system of diagnostic trouble codes. When a
malfunction is detected by the control module, a
diagnostic trouble code is set and the Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (MIL) (“Check Engine” lamp) is
illuminated.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) looks the same as
the MIL you are already familiar with (“Check Engine”
lamp). However, OBD requires that it illuminate under a
strict set of guide lines.
Basically, the MIL is turned on when the PCM detects a
DTC that will impact the vehicle emissions.
The MIL is under the control of the Diagnostic Executive.
The MIL will be turned on if an emissions-related
diagnostic test indicates a malfunction has occurred. It
will stay on until the system or component passes the
same test, for three consecutive trips, with no emission
srelated faults.
Extinguishing the MIL
When the MIL is on, the Diagnostic Executive will turn off
the MIL after
three(3) consecutive
trips that a “test
passed” has been reported for the diagnostic test that
originally caused the MIL to illuminate.
Although the MIL has been turned off, the DTC will remain
in the PCM memory (both Freeze Frame and Failure
Records) until
forty(40) warm-up cycles after no faults
have been completed.
If the MIL was set by either a fuel trim or misfire-related
DTC, additional requirements must be met. In addition to
the requirements stated in the previous paragraph, these
requirements are as follows:
DThe diagnostic tests that are passed must occur with
375 RPM of the RPM data stored at the time the last
test failed.
DPlus or minus ten (10) percent of the engine load that
was stored at the time the last failed.
DSimilar engine temperature conditions (warmed up or
warming up ) as those stored at the time the last test
failed.
Meeting these requirements ensures that the fault which
turned on the MIL has been corrected.
The MIL (“Check Engine” lamp) is on the instrument
panel and has the following functions:
DIt informs the driver that a fault that affects vehicle
emission levels has occurred and that the vehicle
should be taken for service as soon as possible.
DAs a bulb and system check, the MIL will come “ON”
with the key “ON” and the engine not running. When
the engine is started, the MIL will turn “OFF.”
DWhen the MIL remains “ON” while the engine is
running, or when a malfunction is suspected due to a
driveability or emissions problem, a Powertrain
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check must be
performed. The procedures for these checks are
given in On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check.
These checks will expose faults which may not be
detected if other diagnostics are performed first.
DTC Types
Each DTC is directly related to a diagnostic test. The
Diagnostic Management System sets DTC based on the
failure of the tests during a trip or trips. Certain tests must
fail two (2) consecutive trips before the DTC is set. The
following are the four (4) types of DTCs and the
characteristics of those codes:
DType A
DEmissions related
DRequests illumination of the MIL of the first trip with a
fail
DStores a History DTC on the first trip with a fail
DStores a Freeze Frame (if empty)
DStores a Fail Record
DUpdates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic
test fails
DType B
DEmissions related
D“Armed” after one (1) trip with a fail
D“Disarmed” after one (1) trip with a pass
DRequests illumination of the MIL on the
second
consecutive trip
with a fail
DStores a History DTC on the second consecutive trip
with a fail (The DTC will be armed after the first fail)
DStores a Freeze Frame on the second consecutive
trip with a fail (if empty)
DStores a Fail Record when the first test fails (not
dependent on
consecutive trip
fails)
DUpdates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic
test fails
(Some special conditions apply to misfire and fuel trim
DTCs)
DType C (if the vehicle is so equipped)
DNon-Emissions related
DRequests illumination of the Service Lamp or the
service message on the Drive Information Center
(DIC) on the
first trip
with a fail
DStores a History DTC on the
first trip
with a fail
D
Does not
store a Freeze Frame
DStores Fail Record when test fails
DUpdates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic
test fails
DType D (
Type D
non-emissions related are not utilized
on certain vehicle applications).
DNon-Emissions related
DDose not request illumination of any lamp
DStores a History DTC on the
first trip
with a fail
D
Does not
store a Freeze Frame
DStores Fail Record when test fails
DUpdates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic
test fails
Only four Fail Records can be stored. Each Fail Record
is for a different DTC. It is possible that there will not be
Fail Records for every DTC if multiple DTCs are set.
Storing and Erasing Freeze Frame Data and Failure
Records
Government regulations require that engine operating
conditions be captured whenever the MIL is illuminated.
The data captured is called Freeze Frame data. The
Freeze Frame data is very similar to a single record of
operating conditions. Whenever the MIL is illuminated,
the corresponding record of operating conditions is
recorded to the Freeze Frame buffer.
Freeze Frame data can only be overwritten with data
associated with a misfire or fuel trim malfunction. Data
from these faults take precedence over data associated
with any other fault. The Freeze Frame data will not be
erased unless the associated history DTC is cleared.
Each time a diagnostic test reports a failure, the current
engine operating conditions are recorded in the
Failure
Records
buffer. A subsequent failure will update the
recorded operating conditions. The following operating
conditions for the diagnostic test which failed
typically
include the following parameters:
DAir Fuel Ratio
DAir Flow Rate
DEngine Speed
DEngine Load
DEngine Coolant Temperature
DVehicle Speed
DTP
DMAP/BARO
DInjector Base Pulse Width
DLoop Status
Intermittent Malfunction Indicator Lamp
In the case of an “intermittent” fault, the MIL (“Check
Engine” lamp) may illuminate and then (after three trips)
go “OFF”. However , the corresponding diagnostic trouble
code will be stored in the memory. When unexpected
diagnostic trouble codes appear, check for an intermittent
malfunction.
A diagnostic trouble code may reset. Consult the
“Diagnostic Aids” associated with the diagnostic trouble
code. A physical inspection of the applicable sub–system
most often will resolve the problem.
Data Link Connector (DLC)
The provision for communication with the contorl module
is the Data Link Connector (DLC). It is located at the
lower left of the instrument panel. The DLC is used to
connect to the Tech 2 Scan Tool. Some common uses of
the Tech 2 are listed below:
DIdentifying stored Diagnostic T rouble Codes (DTCs).
DClearing DTCs.
DPerforming out put control tests.
DReading serial data.
TS24064
Verifying Vehicle Repair
Verification of vehicle repair will be more comprehensive
for vehicles with OBD II system diagnostic. Following a
repair, the technician should perform the following steps:
1.Review and record the Fail Records and/or Freeze
Frame data for the DTC which has been diagnosed
(Freeze Frame data will only be stored for an A or B
type diagnostic and only if the MIL has been
requested).
2.Clear DTC(s).
3.Operate the vehicle within conditions noted in the Fail
Records and/or Freeze Frame data.
4.Monitor the DTC status information for the DTC which
has been diagnosed until the diagnostic test
associated with that DTC runs.
Following these steps are very important in verifying
repairs on OBD systems. Failure to follow these steps
could result in unnecessary repairs.
Reading Diagnostic Trouble Codes Using
the TECH 2 Scan Tool
The procedure for reading diagnostic trouble code(s) is to
use a diagnostic Scan Tool. When reading DTC(s), follow
instructions supplied by tool manufacturer.
For the 1998 model year, Isuzu dealer service
departments will continue to use Tech 2.
Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes
IMPORTANT:Do not clear DTCs unless directed to do
so by the service information provided for each diagnostic
procedure. When DTCs are cleared, the Freeze Frame
and Failure Record data which may help diagnose an
intermittent fault will also be erased from memory.
If the fault that caused the DTC to be stored into memory
has been corrected, the Diagnostic Executive will begin to
count the “warm-up” cycles with no further faults
detected, the DTC will automatically be cleared from the
PCM memory.
To clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), use the
diagnostic Scan Tool “clear DTCs” or “clear information”
function. When clearing DTCs follow instructions
supplied by the tool manufacturer.
When a Tech 2 is not available, DTCs can also be cleared
by disconnecting
one
of the following sources for at least
thirty (30) seconds.
NOTE: To prevent system damage, the ignition key must
be “OFF” when disconnecting or reconnecting battery
power.
DThe power source to the control module. Examples:
fuse, pigtail at battery PCM connectors etc.
DThe negative battery cable. (Disconnecting the
negative battery cable will result in the loss of other
on-board memory data, such as preset radio tuning).

Primary System-Based Diagnostics
Primary System-Based Diagnostics
There are primary system-based diagnostics which
evaluate system operation and its effect on vehicle
emissions. The primary system-based diagnostics are
listed below with a brief description of the diagnostic
function:
Oxygen Sensor Diagnosis
The fuel control heated oxygen sensors (Bank 1 HO2S 1
and Bank 2 HO2S 1) are diagnosed for the following
conditions:
DHeater performance (time to activity on cold start)
DSlow response
DResponse time (time to switch R/L or L/R)
DInactive signal (output steady at bias voltage –
approx. 450 mV)
DSignal fixed high
DSignal fixed low
If the oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector or terminal
are damaged, the entire oxygen sensor assembly must
be replaced. DO NOT attempt to repair the wiring,
connector or terminals. In order for the sensor to function
properly, it must have clean reference air provided to it.
This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen
sensor wire(s). Any attempt to repair the wires, connector
or terminals could result in the obstruction of the
reference air and degrade oxygen sensor performance.
Refer to
On-Vehicle Service Heated Oxygen Sensors.
Fuel Control Heated Oxygen Sensors
The main function of the fuel control heated oxygen
sensors is to provide the control module with exhaust
stream oxygen content information to allow proper fueling
and maintain emissions within mandated levels. After it
reaches operating temperature, the sensor will generate
a voltage, inversely proportional to the amount of oxygen
present in the exhaust gases. The control module uses
the signal voltage from the fuel control heated oxygen
sensors while in closed loop to adjust fuel injector pulse
width. While in closed loop, the PCM can adjust fuel
delivery to maintain an air/fuel ratio which allows the best
combination of emission control and driveability . The fuel
control heated oxygen sensors are also used to
determine catalyst efficiency.
HO2S Heater
Heated oxygen sensors are used to minimize the amount
of time required for closed loop fuel control to begin
operation and to allow accurate catalyst monitoring. The
oxygen sensor heater greatly decreases the amount of
time required for fuel control sensors (Bank 1 HO2S 1 and
Bank2 HO2S 1) to become active.
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check
D06RX010
Circuit Description
The on-board diagnostic system check is the starting
point for any driveability complaint diagnosis. Before
using this procedure, perform a careful visual/physical
check of the PCM and engine grounds for cleanliness and
tightness.
The on-board diagnostic system check is an organized
approach to identifying a problem created by an
electronic engine control system malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection,
rubbed-through wire insulation or a wire broken inside the
insulation. Check for poor connections or a damaged
harness. Inspect the PCM harness and connector for
improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or
damaged terminals, poor terminal-to-wire connection,
and damaged harness.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart:
1. The MIL (“Check Engine” lamp) should be “ON”
steady with the ignition “ON”/engine “OFF.” If not,
the “No MIL” chart should be used to isolate the
malfunction.
2. Checks the Class 2 data circuit and ensures that the
PCM is able to transmit serial data.
3. This test ensures that the PCM is capable of
controlling the MIL (“Check Engine” lamp) and the
MIL (“Check Engine” lamp) driver circuit is not
shorted to ground.
4. If the engine will not start, the

A/C Clutch Control Circuit Diagnosis
D06RX011
Circuit Description
When air conditioning and blower fan are selected, and if
the system has a sufficient refrigerant charge, a 12-volt
signal is supplied to the A/C request input of the
powertrain control module (PCM). The A/C request
signal may be temporarily canceled during system
operation by the electronic thermostat in the evaporator
case. The electronic thermostat may intermittently
remove the control circuit ground for the A/C thermostat
relay to prevent the evaporator from forming ice. When
the A/C request signal is received by the PCM, the PCM
supplies a ground from the compressor clutch relay if the
engine operating conditions are within acceptable
ranges. With the A/C compressor relay energized,
voltage is supplied to the compressor clutch coil.
The PCM will enable the compressor clutch to engage
whenever A/C has been selected with the engine running,
unless any of the following conditions are present:
DThe throttle is greater than 90%.
DThe ignition voltage is below 10.5 volts.
DThe engine speed is greater than 4500 RPM for 5
seconds or 5400 RPM.
DThe engine coolant temperature (ECT) is greater
than 125 °C (257 °F).
DThe intake air temperature (IAT) is less than 5°C
(41°F).
DThe power steering pressure switch signals a high
pressure condition.
Diagnostic Aids
To diagnose an intermittent fault, check for the following
conditions:
DPoor connection at the PCM–Inspect connections for
backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor
terminal-to-wire connection.
DDamaged harness–Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to OK, observe the
A/C clutch while moving connectors and wiring
harnesses related to the A/C. A sudden clutch
malfunction will indicate the source of the intermittent
fault.
A/C Clutch Diagnosis
This chart should be used for diagnosing the electrical
portion of the A/C compressor clutch circuit. A Tech 2 will
be used in diagnosing the system. The Tech 2 has the
ability to read the A/C request input to the PCM. The Tech
2 can display when the PCM has commanded the A/C
clutch “ON.” The Tech 2 should have the ability to
override the A/C request signal and energize the A/C
compressor relay.
Test Description
IMPORTANT:Do not engage the A/C compressor
clutch with the engine running if an A/C mode is not
selected at the A/C control switch.
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
Diagnostic Chart:
3. This a test determine is the problem is with the
refrigerant system. If the switch is open, A/C
pressure gauges will be used to determine if the
pressure switch is faulty or if the system is partially
discharged or empty.
4. Although the normal complaint will be the A/C clutch
failing to engage, it is possible for a short circuit to
cause the clutch to run when A/C has not been
selected. This step is a test for that condition.
7. There is an extremely low probability that both relays
will fail at the same time, so the substitution process
is one way to check the A/C Thermostat relay. Use
a known good relay to do a substitution check.
9. The blower system furnishes a ground for the A/C
control circuit, and it also shares a power source
through the Heater and A/C Relay. The blower
must be “ON” in order to test the A/C system.

Electronic Ignition System Diagnosis
If the engine cranks but will not run or immediately stalls,
the Engine Cranks But Will Not Start chart must be used
to determine if the failure is the ignition system or the fuel
system.
Visual Check of The Evaporative
Emission Canister
DIf the canister is cracked or damaged, replace the
canister.
DIf fuel is leaking from the canister, replace the canister
and check hoses and hose routing.
Fuel Metering System Check
Some failures of the fuel metering system will result in an
“Engine Cranks But Will Not Run” symptom. If this
condition exists, refer to the
Engine Cranks But Will Not
Run
chart. This chart will determine if the problem is
caused by the ignition system, the PCM, or the fuel pump
electrical circuit.
Refer to
Fuel System Electrical Test
for the fuel system
wiring schematic.
If there is a fuel delivery problem, refer to
Fuel System
Diagnosis
, which diagnoses the fuel injectors, the fuel
pressure regulator, and the fuel pump. If a malfunction
occurs in the fuel metering system, it usually results in
either a rich HO2S signal or a lean HO2S signal. This
condition is indicated by the HO2S voltage, which causes
the PCM to change the fuel calculation (fuel injector pulse
width) based on the HO2S reading. Changes made to the
fuel calculation will be indicated by a change in the long
term fuel trim values which can be monitored with a Tech
2. Ideal long term fuel trim values are around 0%; for a
lean HO2S signal, the PCM will add fuel, resulting in a fuel
trim value above 0%. Some variations in fuel trim values
are normal because all engines are not exactly the same.
If the evaporative emission canister purge is “ON,” the
long term fuel trim may be as low as –38%. If the fuel trim
values are greater than +23%, refer to
DTC P0131, DTC
P0151, DTC P0171, and DTC 1171
for items which can
cause a lean HO2S signal.
Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve
The Tech 2 displays the IAC pintle position in counts. A
count of “0” indicates the PCM is commanding the IAC
pintle to be driven all the way into a fully-seated position.
This is usually caused by a large vacuum leak.
The higher the number of counts, the more air is being
commanded to bypass the throttle blade. Refer to IAC
System Check in order to diagnose the IAC system.
Refer to
Rough, Unstable, or Incorrect Idle, Stalling
in
Symptoms
for other possible causes of idle problems.
Knock Sensor Diagnosis
The Tech 2 has two data displays available for diagnosing
the knock sensor (KS) system. The two displays are
described as follows:
D“Knock Retard” indicates the number of degrees that
the spark timing is being retarded due to a knock
condition.
D“KS Noise Channel” indicates the current voltage
level being monitored on the noise channel.
DTCs P0325 and P0327 are designed to diagnose the KS
module, the knock sensor, and the related wiring. The
problems encountered with the KS system should set a
DTC. However, if no DTC was set but the KS system is
suspect because of a detonation complaint, refer to
Detonation/Spark Knock
in
Symptoms
.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
Diagnosis
To read and clear diagnostic trouble codes, use a Tech 2.
IMPORTANT:Use of a Tech 2 is recommended to clear
diagnostic trouble codes from the PCM memory.
Diagnostic trouble codes can also be cleared by turning
the ignition “OFF” and disconnecting the battery power
from the PCM for 30 seconds. Turning off the ignition and
disconnecting the battery power from the PCM will cause
all diagnostic information in the PCM memory to be
cleared. Therefore, all the diagnostic tests will have to be
re-run.
Since the PCM can have a failure which may affect only
one circuit, following the diagnostic procedures in this
section will determine which circuit has a problem and
where it is.
If a diagnostic chart indicates that the PCM connections
or the PCM is the cause of a problem, and the PCM is
replaced, but this does not correct the problem, one of the
following may be the reason:
DThere is a problem with the PCM terminal
connections. The terminals may have to be removed
from the connector in order to check them properly.
DThe problem is intermittent. This means that the
problem is not present at the time the system is being
checked. In this case, refer to the
Symptoms
portion
of the manual and make a careful physical inspection
of all components and wiring associated with the
affected system.
DThere is a shorted solenoid, relay coil, or harness.
Solenoids and relays are turned “ON” and “OFF” by
the PCM using internal electronic switches called
drivers. A shorted solenoid, relay coil, or harness will
not damage the PCM but will cause the solenoid or
relay to be inoperative.
Multiple PCM Information Sensor
DTCS Set
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors various
sensors to determine the engine operating conditions.
The PCM controls fuel delivery, spark advance,
transmission operation, and emission control device
operation based on the sensor inputs.
The PCM provides a sensor ground to all of the sensors.
The PCM applies 5 volts through a pull-up resistor, and
determines the status of the following sensors by
monitoring the voltage present between the 5-volt supply
and the resistor:
DThe engine coolant temperature (ETC) sensor
DThe intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
DThe transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor
The PCM provides the following sensors with a 5-volt
reference and a sensor ground signal:
DThe exhaust gas recirculating (EGR) pintle position
sensor
DThe throttle position (TP) sensor
DThe manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
The PCM monitors the separate feedback signals from
these sensors in order to determine their operating
status.

Diagnosis
Pintle position error diagnosis is covered by DTC P0402,
P0404, P1404, P0405, P0406. If EGR diagnostic trouble
codes P0402, P0404, P1404, P0405, P0406 are
encountered, refer to the DTC charts.
Engine Tech 2 Data Definitions and
Ranges
A/C CLUTCH–Tech 2 Displays ON or OFF–
Indicates whether the PCM has commanded the A/C
clutch ON. Used in A/C system diagnostic.
A/C REQUEST — Tech 2 Displays YES or NO —
Indicates the state of the A/C request input circuit from the
HVAC controls. The PCM uses the A/C request signal to
determine whether A/C compressor operation is being
requested.
AIR/FUEL RATIO — Tech 2 Range 0.0-25.5 —
Air/fuel ratio indicates the PCM commanded value. In
closed loop, the air/fuel ratio should normally be
displayed around “14.2–14.7.” A lower air/fuel ratio
indicates a richer commanded mixture, which may be
seen during power enrichment or TWC protection modes.
A higher air/fuel ratio indicates a leaner commanded
mixture. This can be seen during deceleration fuel mode.
BARO kPa — Tech 2 Range 10-105 kPa/0.00-5.00
Volts —
The barometric pressure reading is determined from the
MAP sensor signal monitored during key up and wide
open throttle (WOT) conditions. The barometric pressure
is used to compensate for altitude differences and is
normally displayed around “61-104” depending on
altitude and barometric pressure.
CHECK TRANS LAMP–AUTO TRANSMISSION–
Indicates the need to check for a DTC with the Tech 2
when the lamp is flashing 0.2 seconds ON and 0.2
seconds OFF.
CMP ACT. COUNTER –Cam Position
ActivityDECEL FUEL MODE—Tech 2 Display
ACTIVE or INACTVE—
“ACTIVE” displayed indicates that the PCM has detected
conditions appropriate to operate in deceleration fuel
mode. The PCM will command the deceleration fuel
mode when it detects a closed throttle position while the
vehicle is traveling over 20 mph. While in the decreasing
fuel mode, the PCM will decrease the amount of fuel
delivered by entering open loop and decreasing the
injector pulse width.
DESIRED EGR POS.—Tech 2 Range 0%-100%—
Represents the EGR pintle position that the PCM is
commanding.
DESIRED IDLE — Tech 2 Range 0-3187 RPM —
The idle speed that the PCM is commanding. The PCM
will compensate for various engine loads based on engine
coolant temperature, to keep the engine at the desired
speed.
ECT — (Engine Coolant Temperature) Tech 2
Range –40°C to 151°C (–40°F to 304°F) —
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is mounted in the
coolant stream and sends engine temperature
information to the PCM. The PCM applies 5 volts to the
ECT sensor circuit. The sensor is a thermistor which
changes internal resistance as temperature changes.
When the sensor is cold (high resistance), the PCM
monitors a high signal voltage and interprets that as a cold
engine. As the sensor warms (decreasing resistance),
the voltage signal will decrease and the PCM will interpret
the lower voltage as a warm engine.
EGR DUTY CYCLE — Tech 2 Range 0%-100% —
Represents the EGR valve driver PWM signal from the
PCM. A duty cycle of 0% indicates that no EGR flow is
being commanded; a 100% duty cycle indicates
maximum EGR flow commanded.
EGR FEEDBACK — Tech 2 Range 0.00-5.00 Volts —
Indicates the EGR pintle position sensor signal voltage
being monitored by the PCM. A low voltage indicates a
fully extended pintle (closed valve); a voltage near 5 volts
indicates a retracted pintle (open valve).
ENGINE LOAD — Tech 2 Range 0%-100% —
Engine load is calculated by the PCM from engine speed
and MAF sensor readings. Engine load should increase
with an increase in RPM or air flow.
ENGINE RUN TIME — Tech 2 Range
00:00:00-99:99:99 Hrs:Min:Sec —
Indicates the time elapsed since the engine was started.
If the engine is stopped, engine run time will be reset to
00:00:00.
ENGINE SPEED — Range 0-9999 RPM —
Engine speed is computed by the PCM from the 58X
reference input. It should remain close to desired idle
under various engine loads with engine idling.
EVAP PURGE PWM — Tech 2 Range 0%-100% —
Represents the PCM commanded PWM duty cycle of the
EVAP purge solenoid valve. “0%” displayed indicates no
purge; “100%” displayed indicates full purge.
EVAP VENT VALVE– Tech 2 Displays PURGE or
NO PURGE–
The EV AP purge vacuum valve is a normally closed valve
positioned in the purge line between the canister and the
EVAP purge solenoid. The EVAP purge vacuum valve
will open when vacuum increases to greater than 5 inches
of water in the purge line. The EV AP purge vacuum valve
is used by the PCM to monitor EVAP canister purge
solenoid opetation and purge system integrity . The EVAP
purge vacuum valve should be closed to ground with no
vacuum present (0% EVAP purge PWM). With EVAP
purge PWM at 25% or greater, the EVAP purge vacuum
valve should be open and “PURGE” should be indicated.
FUEL TRIM CELL — Tech 2 Range 0-21 —
The fuel trim cell is dependent upon engine speed and
MAF sensor readings. A plot of RPM vs. MAF is divided
into 22 cells. Fuel trim cell indicates which cell is currently
active.
FUEL TRIM LEARN — Tech 2 Displays NO or YES
When conditions are appropriate for enabling long term
fuel trim corrections, fuel trim learn will display “YES.”
This indicates that the long term fuel trim is responding to
the short term fuel trim. If the fuel trim learn displays
“NO,” then long term fuel trim will not respond to changes
in short term fuel trim.
HO2S BANK 1, SEN. 1–Tech 2 Range 0-1132 mV–
Represents the fuel control exhaust oxygen sensor
output voltage. Should fluctuate constantly within a range
between 10 mV (lean exhaust) and 1000 mV (rich
exhaust) while operating in closed loop.
HO2S BANK2, SEN. 1—Tech 2 Range 0–1132 mV—
Represents the fuel control exhaust oxygen sensor
output voltage. Should fluctuate constantly within a range
between 10mV (lean exhaust) and 1000 mV (rich
exhaust) while operating in closed loop.
HO2S BANK 1, SEN. 1–Tech 2 Displays READY
YES/NO–
Indicates the status of the exhaust oxygen sensor. The
Tech 2 will indicate that the exhaust oxygen sensor is
ready when the PCM detects a fluctuating HO2S voltage
sufficient to allow closed loop operation. This will not
occur unless the exhaust oxygen sensor is warmed up.
HO2S BANK 2, SEN. 1–Tech 2 Displays READY
YES/NO–
Indicates the status of the exhaust oxygen sensor. The
Tech 2 will indicate that the exhaust oxygen sensor is
ready when the PCM detects a fluctuating HO2S voltage
sufficient to allow closed loop operation. This will not
occur unless the exhaust oxygen sensor is warmed up.
IAC POSITION — Tech 2 Range 0-255 Counts —
Displays the commanded position of the idle air control
pintle in counts. A larger number of counts means that
more air is being commanded through the idle air
passage. Idle air control should respond fairly quickly to
changes in engine load to maintain desired idle RPM.
IAT (INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE)— Tech 2 Range
–40°C to 151°C (–40°F to 304°F) —
The PCM converts the resistance of the intake air
temperature sensor to degrees. Intake air temperature
(IA T) is used by the PCM to adjust fuel delivery and spark
timing according to incoming air density.
IGNITION 1 — Tech 2 Range 0-25.5 Volts —
This represents the system voltage measured by the
PCM at its ignition feed.
INJ. PULSE BANK 1/INJ. PULSE BANK 2– Tech 2
Range 0-1000 msec. –
Indicates the amount of time the PCM is commanding
each injector “ON” during each engine cycle. A longer
injector pulse width will cause more fuel to be delivered.
Injector pulse width should increase with increased
engine load.
KS NOISE CHANNEL (Knock Sensor)–
Indicates the output from the KS noise channel. There is
always some electrical noise in an engine compartment
and to avoid mistaking this as engine knock, the output
from the knock sensor is compared to the output from the
noise channel. A knock condition is not set unless the
knock sensor output is greater than the noise channel
output.
LONG TERM FUEL TRIM BANK 1/BANK 2 –
The long term fuel trim is derived from the short term fuel
trim values and represents a long term correction of fuel
delivery for the bank in question. A value of 0% indicates
that fuel delivery requires no compensation to maintain
the PCM commanded air/fuel ratio. A negative value
significantly below 0% indicates that the fuel system is
rich and fuel delivery is being reduced (decreased injector
pulse width). A positive value significantly greater than
0% indicates that a lean condition exists and the PCM is
compensating by adding fuel (increased injector pulse
width). Because long term fuel trim tends to follow short
term fuel trim, a value in the negative range due to
canister purge at idle should not be considered unusual.
Fuel trim values at maximum authority may indicate an
excessively rich or lean system.
LOOP STATUS — Tech 2 Displays OPEN or
CLOSED —
“CLOSED” indicates that the PCM is controlling fuel
delivery according to oxygen sensor voltage. In “OPEN”
the PCM ignores the oxygen sensor voltage and bases
the amount of fuel to be delivered on TP sensor, engine
coolant, and MAF sensor inputs only.
MAF — Tech 2 Range 0.0-512 gm/s —
MAF (mass air flow) is the MAF input frequency
converted to grams of air per second. This indicates the
amount of air entering the engine.
MAP — Tech 2 Range 10-105 kPa (0.00-4.97 Volts)—
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor measures
the change in the intake manifold pressure from engine
load, EGR flow, and speed changes. As intake manifold
pressure increases, intake vacuum decreases, resulting
in a higher MAP sensor voltage and kPa reading. The
MAP sensor signal is used to monitor intake manifold
pressure changes during the EGR flow test, to update the
BARO reading, and as an enabling factor for several of
the diagnostics.
MIL — Tech 2 Displays ON or OFF —
Indicates the PCM commanded state of the malfunction
indicator lamp.
POWER ENRICHMENT — Tech 2 Displays ACTIVE
or INACTIVE —
“ACTIVE” displayed indicates that the PCM has detected
conditions appropriate to operate in power enrichment
mode. The PCM will command power enrichment mode
when a large increase in throttle position and load is
detected. While in power enrichment mode, the PCM will
increase the amount of fuel delivered by entering open
loop and increasing the injector pulse width. This is done
to prevent a possible sag or hesitation from occurring
during acceleration.
RICH/LEAN BANK 1/ BANK 2 — Tech 2 Displays
RICH or LEAN —
Indicates whether oxygen sensor voltage is above a 600
mV threshold voltage (“RICH”) or below a 3000 mV
threshold voltage (“LEAN”). Should change constantly
while in closed loop, indicating that the PCM is controlling
the air/fuel mixture properly.
SHORT TERM FT BANK1/BANK2–
Short term fuel trim to a bank represents a short term
correction to bank fuel delivery by the PCM in response
to the amount of time the bank fuel control oxygen sensor
voltage spends above or below the 450 mV threshold. If
the oxygen sensor voltage has mainly remained less than
450 mV, indicating a lean air/fuel mixture, short term fuel
trim will increase into the positive range above 0% and
the PCM will pass fuel. If the oxygen sensor voltage stays
mainly above the threshold, short term fuel trim will
decrease below 0% into the negative range while the
PCM reduces fuel delivery to compensate for the
indicated rich condition. Under certain conditions such as
extended idle and high ambient temperatures, canister
purge may cause short term fuel trim to read in the
negative range during normal operation. Fuel trim values
at maximum authority may indicate an excessively rich or
lean system.
SPARK — Tech 2 Range –64° to 64°
Displays the amount of spark advance being commanded
by the PCM on the IC circuit.
START-UP ECT — Tech 2 Range –40°C to 151°C
(–40°F to 304°F) —
Indicates the engine coolant temperature at the time that
the vehicle was started. Used by the HO2S diagnostic to
determine if the last start-up was a cold start.
START-UP IAT — Tech 2 Range –40°C to 151°C
(–40°F to 304°F) —
Indicates the intake air temperature at the time that the
vehicle was started. Used by the HO2S diagnostic to
determine if the last start-up was a cold start.
TP — Tech 2 Range 0%-100% —
TP (throttle position) angle is computed by the PCM from
the TP sensor voltage. TP angle should display “0%” at
idle and “100%” at wide open throttle.
TP SENSOR Tech 2 Range 0.00-5.00 Volts —
The voltage being monitored by the PCM on the TP
sensor signal circuit.
WEAK CYLINDER Tech 2 Displays Cylinder
Number—
This indicates that the PCM has detected crankshaft
speed variations that indicate 2% or more cylinder firing
events are misfires.
Typical Scan Data Values
Use the Typical Scan Data Values Table only after the
On-Board Diagnostic System Check has been
completed, no DTC(s) were noted, and you have
determined that the on-board diagnostics are functioning
properly. Tech 2 values from a properly-running engine
may be used for comparison with the engine you are
diagnosing. The typical scan data values represent
values that would be seen on a normally-running engine.
NOTE:A Tech 2 that displays faulty data should not be
used, and the problem should be reported to the Tech 2
manufacturer. Use of a faulty Tech 2 can result in
misdiagnosis and unnecessary replacement of parts.
Only the parameters listed below are referred to in this
service manual for use in diagnosis. For further
information on using the Tech 2 to diagnose the PCM and
related sensors, refer to the applicable reference section
listed below. If all values are within the typical range
described below, refer to the

D06RX134
Circuit Description
The “Check Engine” lamp (MIL) should always be
illuminated and steady with the ignition “ON” and the
engine stopped. Ignition feed voltage is supplied to the
MIL bulb through the meter fuse. The powertrain control
module (PCM) turns the MIL “ON” by grounding the MIL
driver circuit.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent MIL may be cased by a poor connection,
rubbed-through wire insulation, or a wire broken inside
the insulation. Check for the following items:
DInspect the PCM harness and connections for
improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or
damaged terminals, poor terminal-to-wire
connection, and damaged harness.
DIf the engine runs OK, check for a faulty light bulb, an
open in the MIL driver circuit, or an open in the
instrument cluster ignition feed.
DIf the engine cranks but will not run, check for an open
PCM ignition or battery feed, or a poor PCM to engine
ground.

Engine Cranks But Will Not Run

060RY00303
Engine Cranks But Will Not Run
Circuit Description
The electronic Ignition system uses a coil-at-plug method
of spark distribution. In this type of ignition system, the
powertrain control module (PCM) triggers the correct
driver inside the ignition coil, which then triggers the
correct ignition coil based on the 58X signal received from
the crankshaft position sensor (CKP). The spark plug
connected to the coil fires when the ignition coil opens the
ground circuit for the coil’s primary circuit.
During crank, the PCM monitors the CKP 58X signal. The
CKP signal is used to determine which cylinder will fire
first. After the CKP 58X signal has been processed by the
PCM, it will command all six injectors to allow a priming
shot of fuel for all the cylinders. After the priming, the
injectors are left “OFF” during the next six 58X reference
pulses from the CKP. This allows each cylinder a chance
to use the fuel from the priming shot. During this waiting
period, a camshaft position (CMP) signal pulse will have
been received by the PCM. The CMP signal allows the
PCM to operate the injectors sequentially based on
camshaft position. If the camshaft position signal is not
present at start-up, the PCM will begin sequential fuel
delivery with a 1-in-6 chance that fuel delivery is correct.
The engine will run without a CMP signal, but will set a
DTC code.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent problem may be caused by a poor
connection, rubbed-through wire insulation or a wire
broken inside the insulation. Check for the following
items:
DPoor connection or damaged harness – Inspect the
PCM harness and connectors for improper mating,
broken locks, improperly formed or damaged
terminals, poor terminal-to-wore connection, and
damaged harness.
DFaulty engine coolant temperature sensor – Using a
Tech 2, compare engine coolant temperature with
intake air temperature on a completely cool engine.
Engine coolant temperature should be within 10°C of
intake air temperature. If not, replace the ECT

Diagnostic Chart.
5. An obvious cause of low fuel pressure would be an
empty fuel tank.
6. The engine will easily start and run if a few injectors
are disabled. It is not necessary to test all injectors
at this time since this step is only a test to verify that
all of the injectors have not been disabled by fuel
contamination.
7. A blinking test light verifies that the PCM is
monitoring the 58X crankshaft reference signal and
is capable of activating the injectors. If there is an
open or shorted driver circuit, DTCs 201-206 and a
misfire DTC 301-306 should be set.
By using a spark tester, each ignition coil’s ability to
produce 25,000 volts is verified.
If there is an open or shorted driver circuit, DTCs
201-206 should be set. All six injector driver circuits
can be checked at one time without removing the
intake manifold if a 5–8840–2619–0 test light is
available. This is the alternative procedure:
DWith the ignition “OFF,” disconnect the gray
connector located at the rear of the air filter, attached
to a bracket on the purge canister.
DConnect test light J 39021-95 to the connector. Do
any of the light constantly illuminate or fail to blink
when the engine is cranked? If so, repair the short or
open circuit, or replace the PCM if indicated.
This procedure only tests the driver circuit as far as the
test connection, so step 31 is added to test the circuit all
the way to the injector.

Fuel System Electrical Test
D06RX014
Circuit Description
When the ignition switch is first turned “ON,” the
powertrain control module (PCM) energizes the fuel
pump relay which applies power to the in-tank fuel pump.
The fuel pump relay will remain “ON” as long as the
engine is running or cranking and the PCM is receiving
58X crankshaft position pulses. If no 58X crankshaft
position pulses are present, the PCM de-energizes the
fuel pump relay within 2 seconds after the ignition is
turned “ON” or the engine is stopped.
The fuel pump delivers fuel to the fuel rail and injectors,
then to the fuel pressure regulator. The fuel pressure
regulator controls fuel pressure by allowing excess fuel to
be returned to the fuel tank. With the engine stopped and
ignition “ON,” the fuel pump can be turned “ON” by using a
command by the Tech 2.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection,
rubbed-through wire insulation, or a wire broken inside
the insulation. Check for the following items:
DPoor connection or damaged harness – Inspect the
PCM harness and connectors for improper mating,
broken locks, improperly formed or damaged
terminals, poor terminal-to-wire connection, and
damaged harness.
Test Description

Circuit Description
When the ignition switch is turned “ON,” the powertrain
control module (PCM) will turn “ON” the in-tank fuel
pump. The in-tank fuel pump will remain “ON” as long as
the engine is cranking or running and the PCM is receiving
58X crankshaft position pulses. If there are no 58X
crankshaft position pulses, the PCM will turn the in-tank
fuel pump “OFF” 2 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned “ON” or 2 seconds after the engine stops running.
The in-tank fuel pump is an electric pump within an
integral reservoir. The in-tank fuel pump supplies fuel
through an in-line fuel filter to the fuel rail assembly. The
fuel pump is designed to provide fuel at a pressure above
the pressure needed by the fuel injectors. A fuel pressure
regulator, attached to the fuel rail, keeps the fuel available
to the fuel injectors at a regulated pressure. Unused fuel
is returned to the fuel tank by a separate fuel return line.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
2. Connect the fuel pressure gauge to the fuel feed line
as shown in the fuel system illustration. Wrap a
shop towel around the fuel pressure connection in
order to absorb any fuel leakage that may occur
when installing the fuel pressure gauge. With the
ignition switch “ON” and the fuel pump running, the
fuel pressure indicated by the fuel pressure gauge
should be 333-376 kPa (48-55 psi). This pressure
is controlled by the amount of pressure the spring
inside the fuel pressure regulator can provide.
3. A fuel system that cannot maintain a constant fuel
pressure has a leak in one or more of the following
areas:
DThe fuel pump check valve.
DThe fuel pump flex line.
DThe valve or valve seat within the fuel pressure
regulator.
DThe fuel injector(s).
4. Fuel pressure that drops off during acceleration,
cruise, or hard cornering may case a lean condition.
A lean condition can cause a loss of power, surging,
or misfire. A lean condition can be diagnosed using
a Tech 2. If an extremely lean condition occurs, the
oxygen sensor(s) will stop toggling. The oxygen
sensor output voltage(s) will drop below 500 mV.
Also, the fuel injector pulse width will increase.
IMPORTANT:Make sure the fuel system is not
operating in the “Fuel Cut-Off Mode.”
When the engine is at idle, the manifold pressure is
low (high vacuum). This low pressure (high vacuum)
is applied to the fuel pressure regulator diaphragm.The low pressure (high vacuum) will offset the
pressure being applied to the fuel pressure regulatordiaphragm by the spring inside the fuel pressure
regulator. When this happens, the result is lower fuel
pressure. The fuel pressure at idle will vary slightly asthe barometric pressure changes, but the fuel
pressure at idle should always be less than the fuel
pressure noted in step 2 with the engine “OFF.”
16.Check the spark plug associated with a particular
fuel injector for fouling or saturation in order to
determine if that particular fuel injector is leaking. If
checking the spark plug associated with a particularfuel injector for fouling or saturation does notdetermine that a particular fuel injector is leaking,use the following procedure:
DRemove the fuel rail, but leave the fuel lines andinjectors connected to the fuel rail. Refer to
Fuel Rail Assembly
in
On-Vehicle Service
.
DLift the fuel rail just enough to leave the fuel injectornozzles in the fuel injector ports.
CAUTION:In order to reduce the risk of fire and
personal injury that may result from fuel spraying on
the engine, verify that the fuel rail is positioned over
the fuel injector ports and verify that the fuel injector
retaining clips are intact.
DPressurize the fuel system by connecting a 10 amp
fused jumper between B+ and the fuel pump relay
connector.
DVisually and physically inspect the fuel injectornozzles for leaks.17.A rich condition may result from the fuel pressure
being above 376 kPa (55 psi). A rich condition may
cause a DTC P0132 or a DTC P0172 to set.Driveability conditions associated with rich
conditions can include hard starting (followed by
black smoke) and a strong sulfur smell in theexhaust.
20.This test determines if the high fuel pressure is dueto a restricted fuel return line or if the high fuelpressure is due to a faulty fuel pressure regulator.
21.A lean condition may result from fuel pressure
below 333 kPa (48 psi). A lean condition maycause a DTC P0131 or a DTC P0171 to set.
Driveability conditions associated with leanconditions can include hard starting (when theengine is cold ), hesitation, poor driveability, lack ofpower, surging , and misfiring.
22.Restricting the fuel return line causes the fuel
pressure to rise above the regulated fuel pressure.
Command the fuel pump “ON” with the Tech 2. Thefuel pressure should rise above 376 kPa (55 psi) asthe fuel return line becomes partially closed.
NOTE:Do not allow the fuel pressure to exceed 414 kPa(60 psi). Fuel pressure in excess of 414 kPa (60 psi) maydamage the fuel pressure regulator.
CAUTION:To reduce the risk of fire and personal
injury:
DIt is necessary to relieve fuel system pressure
before connecting a fuel pressure gauge. Refer to

Electrical Test
Chart
Idle Air Control (IAC) System Check
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) controls engine
idle speed with the idle air control (IAC) valve. To increase
idle speed, the PCM retracts the IAC valve pintle away
from its seat, allowing more air to bypass the throttle bore.
To decrease idle speed, it extends the IAC valve pintle
towards its seat, reducing bypass air flow. A Tech 2 will
read the PCM commands to the IAC valve in counts.
Higher counts indicate more air bypass (higher idle).
Lower counts indicate less air is allowed to bypass (lower
idle).
Diagnostic Aids
A slow, unstable, or fast idle may be caused by a non-IAC
system problem that cannot be overcome by the IAC
valve. Out of control range IAC Tech 2 counts will be
above 60 if idle is too low, and zero counts if idle is too
high. The following checks should be made to repair a
non-IAC system problem:
DVacuum leak (high idle) – If idle is too high, stop the
engine. Fully extend (low) IAC with the Tech–2. Start
the engine. If idle speed is above 800 RPM, locate
and correct the vacuum leak, including the PCV
system. Check for binding of the throttle blade or
linkage.
DLean heated oxygen sensor signal (high air/fuel ratio)
– The idle speed may be too high or too low. Engine
speed may vary up and down, and disconnecting the
IAC valve does not help. Diagnostic trouble codes
P0131, P0151, P0171, or P0174 may be set. Tech 2
oxygen (O2) voltage will be less than 100 mV (0.1 V).
Check for low regulated fuel pressure, water in fuel, or
a restricted injector.
DRich heated oxygen sensor signal (low air/fuel ratio) –
The idle speed will be too low. Tech 2 IAC counts will
usually be above 80. The system is obviously rich
and may exhibit black smoke in the exhaust.
Tech 2 O2 voltage will be fixed at about 750 mV (0.75
V). Check for high fuel pressure, or a leaking or
sticking injector. A silicon-contaminated heated
oxygen sensor will show an O2 voltage slow to
respond on the Tech 2.
DThrottle body – Remove the IAC valve and inspect the
bore for foreign material.
DIAC valve electrical connections – IAC valve
connections should be carefully checked for proper
contact.
DPCV valve – An incorrect or faulty PCV valve may
result in an incorrect idle speed. Refer to
Diagnosis,
Rough Idle, Stalling
. If intermittent poor driveability or
idle symptoms are resolved by disconnecting the
IAC, carefully recheck the connections and valve
terminal resistance, or replace the IAC.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
1. The Tech–2 is used to extend and retract the IAC
valve. Valve movement is verified by an engine
speed change. If no change in engine speed
occurs, the valve can be resettled when removed
from the throttle body.
2. This step checks the quality of the IAC movement in
step 1. Between 700 revolutions per minute (RPM)
and about 1500 RPM, the engine speed should
change smoothly with each flash of the tester light
in both extend and retract. If the IAC valve is
retracted beyond the control range (about 1500
RPM), it may take many flashes to extend the IAC
valve before engine speed will begin to drop. This
is normal on certain engines. Fully extending the
IAC may cause engine stall. This may be normal.
6. Steps 1 and 2 verified the proper IAC valve
operation. This step checks the IAC circuits. Each
lamp on the noid light should flash red and green
while the IAC valve is cycled. While the sequence
of color is not important, if either light is “OFF” or
does not flash red and green, check the circuits for
faults, beginning with poor terminal contacts.

Knock Sensor (KS) System Check (Engine Knock, Poor Performance, or Poor
Economy)
D06RW035–1
Circuit Description
The knock sensor (KS) sends an AC voltage signal to the
powertrain control module (PCM). As the KS detects
engine knock, the signal to the PCM changes in amplitude
and frequency. The PCM retards timing if the engine
speed is over 900 RPM.
Diagnostic Aids
If the KS system checks OK, but detonation is the
complaint, refer to
Diagnosis, Detonation/Spark Knock.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
Diagnostic Chart.
9. The change in signal speed depends on how hard
the tapping is done. Normally there is about 1.5 to
10 mV at PCM pin A2 with the engine off. Loud
tapping should be able to make the reading jump to
20-25 mV AC.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System Check
D06RW055
Circuit Description
A properly operation exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
system will directly affect the air/fuel requirements of the
engine. Since the exhaust gas introduced into the air/fuel
mixture is an inert gas (contains very little or no oxygen),
less fuel is required to maintain a correct air/fuel ratio.
Introducing exhaust gas into the combustion chamber
lowers combustion temperatures and reduces the
formation of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the exhaust gas.
Lower combustion temperatures also prevent detonation.
If the EGR pintle were to stay closed, the inert exhaust
gas would be replaced with air and the air/fuel mixture
would be leaner. The powertrain control module (PCM)
would compensate for the lean condition by adding fuel,
resulting in higher long term fuel trim values.
Diagnostic Aids
The EGR valve chart is a check of the EGR system. An
EGR pintle constantly in the closed position could cause
detonation and high emissions of NOx. It could also result
in high long term fuel trim values in the open throttle cell,
but not in the closed throttle cell. An EGR pintle
constantly in the open position would cause a rough idle.
Also, an EGR mounted incorrectly (rotated 180°) could
cause rough idle. Check for the following items:
DEGR passages – Check for restricted or blocked EGR
passages.
DManifold absolute pressure sensor – A manifold
absolute pressure sensor may shift in calibration
enough to affect fuel delivery. Refer to

Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Output Check
D06RX135
Circuit Description
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor measures
the changes in the intake MAP which result from engine
load (intake manifold vacuum) and engine speed
changes; and converts these into a voltage output. The
powertrain control module (PCM) sends a 5-volt
reference voltage to the MAP sensor. As the MAP
changes, the output voltage of the sensor also changes.
By monitoring the the sensor output voltage, the PCM
knows the MAP. A lower pressure (low voltage) output
voltage will be about 1-2 volts at idle. Higher pressure
(high voltage) output voltage will be about 4-4.8 volts at
wide open throttle. The MAP sensor is also used, under
certain conditions, to measure barometric pressure,
allowing the PCM to make adjustments for different
altitudes. The PCM uses the MAP sensor to diagnose
proper operation of the EGR system, in addition to other
functions.
Test Description
IMPORTANT:Be sure to used the same diagnostic test
equipment for all measurements.
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
1. Applying 34 kPa (10 Hg) vacuum to the MAP sensor
should cause the voltage to be 1.5-2.1 volts less
than the voltage at step 1. Upon applying vacuum
to the sensor, the change in voltage should be
instantaneous. A slow voltage change indicates a
faulty sensor.
IMPORTANT:Make sure the electrical connector
remains securely fastened.
2. Disconnect the sensor from the bracket. Twist the
sensor with your hand to check for an intermittent
connection. Output changes greater than 0.10 volt
indicate a bad sensor.

Evaporative (EVAP) Emissions Canister Purge Valve Check
D06RX016
Circuit Description
The evaporative emissions canister purge is controlled by
a solenoid that allows manifold and/or vacuum to purge
the canister when it is energized. The powertrain control
module (PCM) supplies a ground to energize the solenoid
valve (purge “ON”). The EVAP purge solenoid control is
turned “ON” and “OFF” several times a second. The duty
cycle (pulse width or “ON” time) is determined by engine
operating conditions including load, throttle position,
coolant temperature and ambient temperature. The duty
cycle is calculated by the PCM and the purge solenoid is
enabled when the appropriate conditions have been met:
DThe engine run time after start is more than 60
seconds.
DThe engine coolant temperature is above 30°C
(86°F).
DThe fuel control system is operating in the closed-loop
mode.
Diagnostic Aids

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0101 MAF System Performance
D06RW057
Circuit Description
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the amount of
air which passes through it into the engine during a given
time. The powertrain control module (PCM) uses the
mass air flow information to monitor engine operating
conditions for fuel delivery calculations. A large quantity
of air entering the engine indicates an acceleration or high
load situation, while a small quantity or air indicates
deceleration or idle.
The MAF sensor produces a frequency signal which can
be monitored using a Tech 2. The frequency will vary
within a range of around 4 to 7 g/s at idle to around 25 to 40
g/s at maximum engine load. DTC P0101 will be set if the
signal from the MAF sensor does not match a predicted
value based on throttle position and engine RPM.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DThe engine is running.
DNo TP sensor or MAP sensor DTCs are set.
DThe throttle is steady, TP angle doesn’t change by
more than 1%.
DSystem voltage is between 11.5 volts and 16 volts.
DCalculated air flow is between 25 g/second and 40
g/second.
DAbove conditions present for at least 1 second.
DMAF signal frequency indicates an airflow significantly
higher or lower than a predicted value based on throttle
position and engine RPM for a total of 12.5 seconds
over a 25-second period of time.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DThe PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) after the second consecutive trip in which the
fault is detected.
DThe PCM calculates an airflow value based on idle air
control valve position, throttle position, RPM and
barometric pressure.
DThe PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DThe PCM will turn the MIL “OFF” on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.
DA history DTC P0101 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.
DDTC P0101 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent may be caused by the following:
DPoor connections.
DMis-routed harness.
DRubbed through wire insulation.
DBroken wire inside the insulation.
Refer to Intermittents under service category Symptoms.
Any un-metered air may cause this DTC to set. Check for
the following:
DThe duct work at the MAF sensor for leaks.
DAn engine vacuum leak.
DThe PCV system for vacuum leaks.
DAn incorrect PCV valve.
DThe engine oil dip stick not fully seated.
DThe engine oil fill cap loose or missing.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0103 MAF Sensor Circuit High Frequency
D06RW057
Circuit Description
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the amount of
air which passes through it into the engine during a given
time. The powertrain control module (PCM) uses the
mass air flow information to monitor engine operating
conditions for fuel delivery calculations. A large quantity
of air entering the engine indicates an acceleration or high
load situation, while a small quantity of air indicates
deceleration or idle.
The MAF sensor produces a frequency signal which can
be monitored using a Tech 2. The frequency will vary
within a range of around 4 to 7 g/s at idle to around 9000
Hz at maximum engine load. DTC P0103 will be set if the
signal from the MAF sensor is above the possible range of
a normally operating MAF sensor.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DThe engine is running above 500 RPM for more than
10 seconds.
DSystem voltage is above 11.5 volts.
DMAF signal frequency is above 40 g/s for a total of 50
percent of the last 200 samples monitored. A sample
is taken every cylinder event.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DThe PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) the first time the fault is detected.
DThe PCM calculates an airflow value based on idle air
control valve position, throttle position, RPM and
barometric pressure.
DThe PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for clearing the MIL/DTC
DThe PCM will turn the MIL “OFF” on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.
DA history DTC P0103 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.
DDTC P0103 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0117 ECT Sensor Circuit Low Voltage
060RY00304
Circuit Description
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a
thermistor mounted on a coolant crossover pipe at the
front of the engine. The powertrain control module (PCM)
applies a voltage (about 5 volts) through a pull-up resistor
to the ECT signal circuit. When the engine coolant is cold,
the sensor (thermistor) resistance is high, therefore the
PCM will measure a high signal voltage. As the engine
coolant warms, the sensor resistance becomes lower,
and the ECT signal voltage measured at the PCM drops.
With a fully warmed-up engine, the ECT signal voltage
should measure about 1.5 to 2.0 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DEngine running time is longer than one minute.
DThe ECT sensor signal indicates an engine coolant
temperature greater than 150°C (302°F) (about 0.10
V) for a total of 50 seconds over a 100-second period.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DThe PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) the first time the fault is detected.
DThe PCM will substitute the ECT reading with a default
engine coolant temperature value. The default value
is based on start-up intake air temperature and running
time.
DThe PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DThe PCM will turn the MIL “OFF” on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.
DA history DTC P0117 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.
DDTC P0117 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
DPoor connection at PCM – Inspect harness connectors
for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal-to-wire connection.
DDamaged harness – Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the
ECT display on the Tech 2 while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the ECT sensor. A
change in the ECT display will indicate the location of
the fault.
If DTC P0117 cannot be duplicated, the information
included in the Failure Records data can be useful in
determining vehicle mileage since the DTC was last set.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
2. Verifies that the fault is present.
3. If DTC P0117 can be repeated only by duplicating
the Failure Records conditions, refer to the

table may be used to test the ECT sensor at various
temperatures to evaluate the possibility of a
“shifted” sensor that may be shorted above or below
a certain temperature. If this is the case, replace
the ECT sensor. If the ECT sensor appears to be
OK, the fault is intermittent; refer to

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0121 TP System Performance
D06RW059
Circuit Description
The throttle position (TP) sensor circuit provides a voltage
signal that changes relative to throttle blade angle. The
signal voltage will vary from about 0.6 volts at closed
throttle to about 4.5 volts at wide open throttle (WOT).
The TP signal is one of the most important inputs used by
the powertrain control module (PCM) for fuel control and
many of the PCM-controlled outputs. The PCM monitors
throttle position and compares actual throttle position
from the TP sensor to a predicted TP value calculated
from engine speed. If the PCM detects an out-of-range
condition, DTC P0121 will set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DThe engine is running.
DNo MAP DTCs, or P0121, P0123 DTCs are set.
DMAP reading is below 55 kPa.
DThrottle is steady, throttle angle is changing less than
1%.
DPredicted throttle angle is not close to actual throttle
angle.
DAbove conditions are present for a total of 12.5
seconds over a 25-second period of time.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DThe PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) after the second consecutive trip in which the
fault is detected.
DThe PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
DThe PCM will use a default throttle position based on
mass air flow and RPM.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DThe PCM will turn the MIL “OFF” on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.
DA history DTC P0121 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.
DDTC P0121 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
info ” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
DSkewed MAP signal or faulty MAP sensor – An
incorrect MAP signal may cause the PCM to incorrectly
calculate the predicted TP sensor value during high
engine load situations. Check for an unusually low
MAP reading. This condition can cause DTC P0121 to
be set.
DThe TP Sensor shares a 5 V olt reference with the EGR
Valve.
If these codes are also set, it could indicate a
problem with the 5 Volt reference circuit or
components itself.
DThe TP Sensor share a ground with the EGR V alve and
the IAT Sensor.
DPoor connection at PCM – Inspect harness connectors
for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal-to-wire connection.
DDamaged harness – Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the
ECT display on the Tech 2 while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A change
in the display will indicate the location of the fault.
If DTC P0121 cannot be duplicated, the information
included in the Failure Records data can be useful in
determining vehicle mileage since the DTC was last set.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
P0131 HO2S Circuit Low Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 1
D06RX137
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies a bias
voltage of about 450 mV between the heated oxygen
sensor (HO2S) signal high and signal low circuits. When
measured with a 10 megaohm digital voltmeter , this may
display as low as 350 mV. The oxygen sensor varies the
voltage within a range of about 1000 mV when the
exhaust is rich, down through about 10 mV when exhaust
is lean. The PCM constantly monitors the HO2S signal
during “closed loop” operation and compensates for a rich
or lean condition by decreasing or increasing injector
pulse width as necessary. If the Bank 1 HO2S 1 voltage
remains excessively low for an extended period of time,
DTC P0131 will be set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DNo related DTCs.
DVehicle is operating in “closed loop.”
DEngine coolant temperature is above 60°C (140°F)
D“Closed loop” commanded air/fuel ratio is between
14.5 and 14.8.
DThrottle angle is between 3% and 19%.
DBank 1 HO2S 1 signal voltage remains below 22 mV
during normal “closed loop” operation for a total of 77
seconds over a 90-second period of time.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DThe PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) the first time the fault is detected.
DThe PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
D“Open loop” fuel control will be in effect.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DThe PCM will turn the MIL “OFF” on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.
DA history DTC P0131 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.
DDTC P0131 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
DHeated oxygen sensor wiring – The sensor pigtail may
be routed incorrectly and contacting the exhaust
system.
DPoor PCM to engine block grounds.
DFuel pressure – The system will go lean if pressure is
too low. The PCM can compensate for some
decrease. However, If fuel pressure is too low, a DTC
P0131 may be set. Refer to
Fuel System Diagnosis
.
DLean injector(s) – Perform “Injector Balance Test.”
DVacuum leaks – Check for disconnected or damaged
vacuum hoses and for vacuum leaks at the intake
manifold, throttle body, EGR system, and PCV system.
DExhaust leaks – An exhaust leak may cause outside air
to be pulled into the exhaust gas stream past the
HO2S, causing the system to appear lean. Check for
exhaust leaks that may cause a false lean condition to
be indicated.
DMAF sensor – The system can go lean if the MAF
sensor signal indicates an engine airflow
measurement that is not correct. Disconnect the MAF
sensor to see if the lean condition is corrected. If so,
replace the MAF sensor.
DFuel contamination – Water, even in small amounts,
can be delivered to the fuel injectors. The water can
cause a lean exhaust to be indicated. Excessive
alcohol in the fuel can also cause this condition. Refer
to
Fuel System Diagnosis
for the procedure to check
for fuel contamination.
DIf none of the above conditions are present, replace the
affected HO2S.

Diagnostic Aids
Check the following items:
DFuel pressure – The system will go rich if pressure is
too high. The PCM can compensate for some
increase. However, if fuel pressure is too high, a DTC
P0132 may be set. Refer to
Fuel System Diagnosis
.
DPerform “Injector Balance Test” – Refer to
Fuel System
Diagnosis
.
DCheck the EVAP canister for fuel saturation – If full of
fuel, check canister control and hoses. Refer to
Evaporative (EVAP) Emission Control System
.
DMAF sensor –The system can go rich if MAF sensor
signal indicates an engine airflow measurement that is
not correct. Disconnect the MAF sensor to see it the
rich condition is corrected. If so, replace the MAF
sensor.
DCheck for a leak in the fuel pressure regulator
diaphragm by checking the vacuum line to the
regulator for the presence of fuel. There should be no
fuel in the vacuum line.
DAn intermittent TP sensor output will cause the system
to go rich due to a false indication of the engine
accelerating.
DShorted Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) –If the HO2S
is internally shorted, the HO2S voltage displayed on
the Tech 2 will be over 1 volt. Try disconnecting the
affected HO2S with the key “ON,” engine “OFF.” If the
displayed HO2S voltage changes from over 1000 mV
to around 450 mV, replace the HO2S. Silicon
contamination of the HO2S can also cause a high
HO2S voltage to be indicated. This condition is
indicated by a powdery white deposit on the portion of
the HO2S exposed to the exhaust stream. If
contamination is noticed, replace the affected HO2S.
DOpen HO2S Signal Circuit or Faulty HO2S–A poor
connection or open in the HO2S signal circuit can
cause the DTC to set during deceleration fuel mode.
An HO2S which is faulty and not allowing a full voltage
swing between the rich and lean thresholds can also
cause this condition. Operate the vehicle by
monitoring the HO2S voltage with a Tech 2. If the
HO2S voltage is limited within a range between 300
mV to 600 mV, check the HO2S signal circuit wiring
and associated terminal conditions.
DIf none of the above conditions are present, replace the
affected HO2S.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0134 HO2S Circuit Insufficient Activity Bank 1
Sensor 1
D06RX138
Circuit Description
DThe powertrain control module (PCM) supplies a bias
voltage of about 450 mV between the heated oxygen
sensor (HO2S) high and low circuits. When measured
with a 10 megaohm digital voltmeter, this may display
as low as 320 mV. The oxygen sensor varies the
voltage within a range of about 1000 mV when the
exhaust is rich, down through about 10 mV when
exhaust is lean. The PCM constantly monitors the
HO2S signal during “closed loop” operation and
compensates for a rich or lean condition by decreasing
or increasing injector pulse width as necessary. If the
Bank 1 HO2S 1 voltage remains at or near the 450 mV
bias for an extended period of time, DTC P0134 will be
set, indicating an open sensor signal or sensor low
circuit.
DHeated oxygen sensors are used to minimize the
amount of time required for “closed loop” fuel control
operation and to allow accurate catalyst monitoring.
The oxygen sensor heater greatly decreases the
amount of time required for fuel control sensors Bank
1 HO2S 1 and Bank 2 HO2S 1 to become active.
Oxygen sensor heaters are required by post-catalyst
monitor sensors to maintain a sufficiently high
temperature for accurate exhaust oxygen content
readings further from the engine.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DNo related DTCs.
DBattery voltage is above 10 volts.
DEngine run time is longer than 40 seconds.
DOxygen sensor heater has been determined to be
functioning properly.
DBank 1 HO2S 1 signal voltage remains between 400

Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
DPoor connection or damaged harness – Inspect the
harness connectors for backed-out terminals,
improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or
damaged terminals, poor terminal-to-wire connection,
and damaged harness.
DFaulty HO2S heater or heater circuit – With the ignition
“ON,” engine “OFF,” after a cool down period, the
HO2S 1 voltage displayed on the Tech 2 is normally
455-460 mV. A reading over 1000 mV indicates a
signal line shorted to voltage. A reading under 5 mV
indicates a signal line shorted to ground or signal lines
shorted together. Disconnect the HO2S and connect
a test light between the HO2S ignition feed and heater
ground circuits. If the test light does not light for 2
seconds when the ignition is turned on, repair the open
ignition feed or sensor ground circuit as necessary. If
the test light lights and the HO2S signal and low circuits
are OK, replace the HO2S.
DIntermittent test – With the Ignition “ON,” monitor the
HO2S signal voltage while moving the wiring harness
and related connectors. If the fault is induced, the
HO2S signal voltage will change. This may help isolate
the location of the malfunction.

checking vacuum line to regulator for the presence of
fuel. There should be no fuel in the vacuum line.
DTP sensor – An intermittent TP sensor output will
cause the system to go rich, due to a false indication
of the engine accelerating.
DShorted Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)– If the HO2S
is internally shorted, the HO2S voltage displayed on
the Tech 2 will be over 1 volt. Try disconnecting the
affected HO2S with the key “ON,” engine “OFF.” If the
displayed HO2S voltage changes from over 1000 mV
to around 450 mV, replace the HO2S. Silicon
contamination of the HO2S can cause a high HO2S
voltage to be indicated. This condition is indicated by
powdery white deposit on the portion of the HO2S
exposed to the exhaust stream. If contamination is
noticed, replace the affected HO2S.
DOpen HO2S Signal Circuit of Faulty HO2S– A poor
connection or open in the HO2S signal circuit can
cause the DTC to set during deceleration fuel mode.
An HO2S which is faulty and not allowing a full voltage
switch between the rich and lean thresholds can also
cause the condition. Operate the vehicle while
monitoring the HO2S voltage with a Tech 2. If the
HO2S is voltage limited within a range between 300
mV to 600 mV, check the HO2S signal circuit wiring
and associated terminal connections.
DIf none of the above conditions are present, replace the
affected HO2S.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0154 HO2S Circuit Insufficient Activity Bank 2
Sensor 1
D06RX140
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies a bias
voltage of about 450 mV between the heated oxygen
sensor (HO2S) high and low circuits. When measured
with a 10 megaohm digital voltmeter, this may display as
low as 320 mV. The oxygen sensor varies the voltage
within a range of about 1000 mV when the exhaust is rich,
down through about 10 mV when exhaust is lean. The
PCM constantly monitors the HO2S signal during “closed
loop” operation and compensates for a rich or lean
condition by decreasing or increasing injector pulse width
as necessary . If the Bank 2 HO2S 1 voltage remains at or
near the 450 mV bias for an extended period of time, DTC
P0154 will be set, indicating an open sensor signal or
sensor low circuit.
Heated oxygen sensors are used to minimize the amount
of time required for “closed loop” fuel control operation
and to allow accurate catalyst monitoring. The oxygen
sensor heater greatly decreases the amount of time
required for fuel control sensors Bank 1 HO2S 1 and Bank
2 HO2S 1 to become active. Oxygen sensor heater are
required by post-catalyst monitor sensors to maintain a
sufficiently high temperature for accurate exhaust oxygen
content readings further from the engine.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DNo related DTCs.
DBattery voltage is above 10 volts.
DEngine running time is longer than 40 seconds.
DOxygen sensor heater is functioning properly.
DBank 2 HO2S 1 signal voltage remains between 400
mV and 500 mV for a total of 77 seconds over a
90-second period of time.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DThe PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) the first time the fault is detected.
DThe PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
D“Open loop” fuel control will be in effect.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DThe PCM will turn the MIL “OFF” on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.
DA history DTC P0154 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.
DDTC P0154 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
DPoor connection or damaged harness – Inspect the
harness connectors for backed-out terminals,
improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or
damaged terminals, poor terminal-to-wire-connection,
and damaged harness.
DFaulty HO2S heater or heater circuit – With the ignition
“ON,” engine “OFF,” the HO2S 1 voltage displayed on
the Tech 2 is normally 455-460 mV. A reading over
1000 mV indicates a signal line shorted to voltage. A
reading under 5 mV indicates a signal line shorted to
ground or signal lines shorted together. If not,
disconnect the HO2S and connect a test light between
the HO2S ignition feed and heater ground circuits. If
the test light does not light for 2 seconds when the
ignition is turned on, repair the open ignition feed or
sensor ground circuit as necessary. If the test light
lights and the HO2S signal and low circuits are OK,
replace the HO2S.
DIntermittent test – With the ignition “ON,” monitor the
HO2S signal voltage while moving the wiring harness
and related connectors. If the fault is induced, the
HO2S signal voltage will change. This may help isolate
the location of the malfunction.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0171 Fuel Trim System Too Lean Bank 1
D06RW068
Circuit Description
To provide the best possible combination of driveability,
fuel economy, and emission control, a “closed loop”
air/fuel metering system is used. While in “closed loop,”
the powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the Bank 1
HO2S 1 and Bank 2 HO2S 1 signals and adjusts fuel
delivery based upon the HO2S signal voltages. A change
made to fuel delivery will be indicated by the long and
short term fuel trim values which can be monitored with a
Tech 2. Ideal fuel trim values are around 0%; if the HO2S
signals are indicating a lean condition the PCM will add
fuel, resulting in fuel trim values above 0%. If a rich
condition is detected, the fuel trim values will be below
0%, indicating that the PCM is reducing the amount of fuel
delivered. If an excessively lean condition is detected on
Bank 1, the PCM will set DTC P0171.
The PCM’s maximum authority to control long term fuel
trim allows a range between –15% (automatic
transmission) or –12% (manual transmission) and +20%.
The PCM monitors fuel trim under various engine
speed/load fuel trim cells before determining the status
the fuel trim diagnostic.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0174 Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 2
D06RW069
Circuit Description
To provide the best possible combination of driveability,
fuel economy, and emission control, a “closed loop”
air/fuel metering system is used. While in “closed loop,”
the powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the Bank 1
HO2S 1 and Bank 2 HO2S 1 signals and adjusts fuel
delivery based upon the HO2S signal voltages. A change
made to fuel delivery will be indicated by the long and
short term fuel trim values which can be monitored with a
Tech 2. Ideal fuel trim values are around 0%; if the HO2S
signals are indicating a lean condition the PCM will add
fuel, resulting in fuel trim values above 0%. If a rich
condition is detected, the fuel trim values will be below
0%, indicating that the PCM is reducing the amount of fuel
delivered. If an excessively lean condition is detected on
Bank 2, the PCM will set DTC P0174.
The PCM’s maximum authority to control long term fuel
trim allows a range between –15%(automatic
transmission) or –12%(manual transmission) and +20%.
The PCM monitors fuel trim under various engine
speed/load fuel trim cells before determining the status of
the fuel trim diagnostic.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DNo Tech 2 test is being run.
DNone of the following DTCs are set: idle system, EGR,
HO2S, (response, transition, open, low volts, no
activity), MAF, TP sensor, MAP, IAT, canister purge,
EVAP, injector circuit, or misfire.
DEngine coolant temperature is between 25°C (77°F)
and 100°C (212°F).
DIntake air temperature is between –40°C (–40°F) and
120°C (248°F).
DManifold absolute pressure is between 24 kPa and 99
kPa.
DThrottle angle is steady below 95%.
DVehicle speed is below 136 km/h (85 mph).
DEngine speed is between 400 and 6000 RPM.
DBarometric pressure is greater than 72.5 kPa.
DMass air flow is between 2 g/second and 200 g/second.
DIgnition voltage is above 9.5 volts.
DFuel system is in “closed loop.”
DCanister purge duty cycle is greater than 15%, if “ON.”
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DThe PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) after the second consecutive trip in which the
failure is detected.
DThe PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DThe PCM will turn the MIL “OFF” on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.
DA history DTC P0174 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.
DDTC P0174 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
DPoor connection at PCM – Inspect harness connectors
for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal-to-wire connection.
DDamaged harness – Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the
Bank 2 HO2S 1 display on the Tech 2 while moving
connectors and wiring harnesses related to the engine
harness. A change in the display will indicate the
location of the fault.
Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often
the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This
may assist in diagnosing the condition.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
2. DTCs other than P0171 and P0174 may indicate a
condition present which may cause a lean condition.
If this is the case, repairing the condition which
caused the other DTC will most likely correct the
DTC P0171/P0174.
4. If the DTC P0174 test passes while the Failure
Records conditions are being duplicated, the lean
condition is intermittent. Refer to
Diagnostic Aids

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0201 Injector 1 Control Circuit
D06RW070
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) has six individual
injector driver circuits. Each controls an injector . When a
driver circuit is grounded by the PCM, the injector is
activated. The PCM monitors the current in each driver
circuit. The voltage on each driver is monitored to detect
a fault. If the voltage is not what the PCM expects to
monitor on the circuit, a DTC is set. This DTC is also set if
an injector driver is shorted to voltage or if there is an open
circuit.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DThe battery voltage is more than 9 volts.
DThe engine is turning, determined by 58X crankshaft
position input signal.
DThe injector voltage does not equal the ignition voltage
when the injector is commanded “OFF” or the injector
voltage does not equal 0 volts when the injector is
commanded “ON.”
DThe above conditions are met for 5 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DThe PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) the first time the fault is detected.
DThe PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DThe PCM will turn “OFF” the MIL on the third
consecutive trip cycle in which the diagnostic has been
run and the fault is no longer present.
DA history DTC P0201 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles occur without a fault.
DDTC P0201 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
An injector driver circuit that is open or shorted to voltage
will cause a DTC P0201 to set. It will also cause a misfire
due to an inoperative injector. A misfire DTC will also be
set indicating which cylinder is inoperative.
Long term and short term fuel trims that are excessively
high or low are a good indication that an injector is faulty.
Use Fuel Injector Coil Test Procedure to check for faulty
injectors.
Test Description
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
3. This step determines if DTC P0201 is the result of a
hard failure or an intermittent condition.
5. A special injector test connector is provided so that
the injectors can be electrically tested without
removal of the manifold. The test connector can be
identified by the blue connector lock which is
tethered to the wiring harness. If the light for
cylinder 1 is “ON” steady before cranking the engine
as well as while cranking the engine, then the
injector driver circuit is shorted to ground.
If the test light blinks while cranking, the PCM and
the wiring to the injectors are OK. The Fuel
Injector Coil Test Procedure will check if the
injectors are faulty.

7. Because the test light was “ON” steady, voltage to
the injector is OK, but the driver circuit is grounded
at all times. This step determines if the circuit is
shorted to ground or the PCM is faulty.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0203 Injector 3 Control Circuit
D06RW070
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) has six individual
injector driver circuits. Each controls an injector. When
the driver circuit is grounded by the PCM, the injector is
activated. The PCM monitors the current in each driver
circuit. The voltage on each driver is monitored to detect
a fault. If the voltage is not what the PCM expects to
monitor on the circuit, a DTC is set. This DTC is also set if
an injector driver is shorted to voltage or if there is an open
circuit.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DThe battery voltage is more than 9 volts.
DThe engine is turning, determined by the 58X
crankshaft position input signal.
DThe injector voltage does not equal the ignition voltage
when the injector is commanded “OFF” or the injector
voltage does not equal 0 volts when the injector is
commanded “ON.”
DThe above conditions are met for 5 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DThe PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) the first time the fault is detected.
DThe PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DThe PCM will turn “OFF” the MIL on the third
consecutive trip cycle in which the diagnostic has been
run and the fault is no longer present.
DA history DTC P0203 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles occur without a fault.
DDTC P0203 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
An injector driver circuit that is open or shorted to voltage
will cause a DTC P0203 to set. It will also cause a misfire
due to an inoperative injector. A misfire DTC will also be
set indicating which cylinder is inoperative.
Long term and short term fuel trims that are excessively
high or low are a good indication that an injector is faulty.
Use Fuel Injector Coil Test Procedure to check for faulty
injectors.
Test Description
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
3. This step determines if DTC P0203 is the result of a
hard failure or an intermittent condition.
5. A special injector test connector is provided so that
the injectors can be electrically tested without
removal of the manifold. The test connector can be
identified by the blue connector lock which is
tethered to the wiring harness. If the light for
cylinder 3 is “ON” steady before cranking the engine
as well as while cranking the engine, then the
injector driver circuit is shorted to ground.
If the test light blinks while cranking, the PCM and
the wiring to the injectors are OK. The Fuel
Injector Coil Test Procedure will check if the
injectors are faulty.
R321056
7. Because the test light was “ON” steady, voltage to
the injector is OK, but the driver circuit is grounded
at all times. This step determines if the circuit is
shorted to ground or the PCM is faulty.
9.The reading should be about 12-14W.
10.Locating the open in the harness or in the injector
will require removal of the manifold to provide
access.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0325 KS Module Circuit
D06RW035–1
Circuit Description
The knock sensor is used to detect engine detonation,
allowing the powertrain control module (PCM) to retard
ignition control (IC) spark timing based on the knock
sensor (KS) signal being received. The knock sensor
produces an AC signal so that under a no knock condition
the signal on the KS circuit measures about 0.007 V AC.
The KS signal’s amplitude and frequency depend upon
the amount of knock being experienced. The PCM
contains a non-replaceable knock filter module called a
signal-to-noise enhancement filter (SNEF) module. This
filter module in the PCM determines whether knock is
occurring by comparing the signal level on the KS circuit
with the voltage level on the noise channel. The noise
channel allows the PCM to reject any false knock signal
by knowing the amount of normal engine mechanical
noise present. Normal engine noise varies depending on
engine speed and load. When the PCM determines that
an abnormally low noise channel voltage level is being
experienced, a DTC P0325 will set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DEngine has been running for at least 30 seconds.
DThe PCM determines that its internal signal from its
knock filter module indicates a continuous knocking
condition for more than 10 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DThe PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
DThe PCM will use a “substitute” default spark retard
value of 6 degrees to minimize knock during conditions
when knock is likely to occur.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DThe PCM will turn the MIL “OFF” on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.
DA history DTC P0325 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.
DDTC P0325 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
DPoor connection at PCM – Inspect the knock sensor
and PCM connectors for backed-out terminals, broken
locks, and improperly formed or damaged terminals.
DMisrouted harness – Inspect the knock sensor harness
to ensure that it is not routed too close to high voltage
circuits such as spark plug coils.
Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often
the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This
may assist in diagnosing the condition.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0327 KS Sensor Circuit
D06RW035–1
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) uses the knock
sensor to detect engine detonation, allowing the PCM to
retard ignition control (IC) spark timing based on the
knock sensor (KS) signal being received. The knock
sensor produces an AC signal so that under a no knock
condition the signal on the KS circuit measures about
0.007 V AC. The signal amplitude and frequency are
dependent upon the amount of knock being experienced.
The PCM monitors the KS signal and can diagnose the
KS sensor and circuitry.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DEngine running time is at least 10 seconds.
DThe TP sensor is greater than 5%.
DThe ECT sensor is greater than 60°C (140°F).
DEngine speed is between 2000 and 4000 RPM.
DThe knock sensor signal voltage is less than 0.20 volts,
or greater than 4.8 volts.
DAll conditions are present for more than 15 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DThe PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) after the second consecutive trip in which the
fault is detected.
DThe PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
DThe PCM will use a calculated spark retard value to
minimize knock during conditions when knock is likely
to occur. The calculated value will vary based on
engine speed and load.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DThe PCM will turn the MIL “OFF” on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.
DA history DTC P0327 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.
DDTC P0327 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0336 58X Reference Signal Circuit
D06RX145
Circuit Description
The 58X reference signal is produced by the crankshaft
position (CKP) sensor . During one crankshaft revolution,
58 crankshaft pulses will be produced. The powertrain
control module (PCM) uses the 58X reference signal to
calculate engine RPM and crankshaft position. The PCM
constantly monitors the number of pulses on the 58X
reference circuit and compares them to the number of
camshaft position (CMP) signal pulses being received. If
the PCM receives an incorrect number of pulses on the
58X reference circuit, DTC P0336 will set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DEngine is running.
DExtra or missing pulse is detected between
consecutive 58X reference pulses.
DAbove condition is detected in 10 of 100 crankshaft
rotations.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DThe PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) after the second consecutive trip in which the
fault is detected.
DThe PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DThe PCM will turn the MIL “OFF” on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.
DA history DTC P0336 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.
DDTC P0336 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids

rubbed–through wire insulation or a wire broken inside the
insulation. Check for:
DPoor connection – Inspect the PCM harness and
connectors for improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor
terminal-to-wire connection.
DDamaged harness – Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, disconnect
the PCM, turn the ignition on and observe a voltmeter
connected to the 58X reference circuit at the PCM
harness connector while moving connectors and
wiring harnesses related to the ICM. A change in
voltage will indicate the location of the fault.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0351 Ignition 1 Control Circuit
060RY00303
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module’s (PCM) control circuit 1
provides a zero-volt or a 5-volt output signal to the ignition
coil. The normal voltage on the circuit is zero volts. When
the ignition coil receives the 5-volt signal from the PCM, it
provides a ground path for the B+ supply to the primary
side of the number 1 ignition coil. When the PCM shuts off
the 5 volts to the ignition coil, the ignition coil turns “OFF.”
This causes the ignition coil primary magnetic field to
collapse, producing a voltage in the secondary coil which
fires the spark plug.
The circuit between the PCM and ignition coil is monitored
for an open circuit, short to voltage, and short to ground.
When the PCM detects a problem on ignition control
circuit 1, it will set a DTC P0351.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DThe ignition is “ON.”
DThe engine is turning, determined by the 58X
crankshaft position input signal.
DThe output voltage is not equal to 5 volts when output
is “ON.”
DThe output voltage is not equal to 0 volts when output
is “OFF.”
DTwenty test failures occur within 40 samples of
continuous spark events.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DThe PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) the first time the fault is detected.
DThe PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DThe PCM will turn the MIL “OFF” on the third
consecutive trip cycle in which the diagnostic has been
run and the fault condition is no longer present.
DA history DTC P0351 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles occur without a fault.
DDTC P0351 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
DPoor connection at PCM – Inspect the harness
connectors for backed-out terminals, improper mating,
broken locks, improperly formed or damaged
terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire connections.
DDamaged harness – Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the
Tech 2 display related to DTC P0351 while moving the
connector and wiring related to the ignition system. A
change in the display will indicate the location of the
fault.
Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often
the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0352 Ignition 2 Control Circuit
060RY00303
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module’s (PCM) control circuit 2
provides a zero-volt or a 5-volt output signal to the ignition
coil. The normal voltage on the circuit is zero volts. When
the ignition coil receives the 5-volt signal from the PCM, it
provides a ground path for the B+ supply to the primary
side of the number 2 ignition coil. When the PCM shuts off
the 5 volts to the ignition coil, the ignition coil turns “OFF.”
This causes the ignition coil primary magnetic field to
collapse, producing a voltage in the secondary coil which
fires the spark plug.
The circuit between the PCM and ignition coil is monitored
for an open circuit, short to voltage, and short to ground.
When the PCM detects a problem on ignition control
circuit 2, it will set a DTC P0352.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DThe ignition is “ON.”
DThe engine is turning, determined by the 58 X
crankshaft position input signal.
DThe output voltage is not equal to 5 volts when output
is “ON.”
DThe output voltage is not equal to 0 volts when output
is “OFF.”
DTwenty test failures occur within 40 samples of
continuous spark events.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DThe PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) the first time the fault is detected.
DThe PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DThe PCM will turn the MIL “OFF” on the third
consecutive trip cycle in which the diagnostic has been
run and the fault condition is no longer present.
DA history DTC P0352 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles occur without a fault.
DDTC P0352 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
DPoor connection at PCM – Inspect the harness
connectors for backed-out terminals, improper mating,
broken locks, improperly formed or damaged
terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire connections.
DDamaged harness – Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the
Tech 2 display related to DTC P0352 while moving the
connector and wiring related to the ignition system. A
change in the display will indicate the location of the
fault.
Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often
the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This
may assist in diagnosing the condition.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1171 Fuel System Lean Dueing Acceleration
D06RX141
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) internal circuitry
can identify if the vehicle fuel system is capable of
supplying adequate amounts of fuel during heavy
acceleration (power enrichment). The PCM monitors the
voltage of the oxygen sensor during power enrichment.
When a power enrichment mode of operation is
requested during “closed loop” operation (by heavy
acceleration), the PCM will provide more fuel to the
engine. Under these conditions the PCM should detect a
“rich” condition (high oxygen sensor voltage). If this “rich”
exhaust is not detected at this time, a DTC P1 171 will set.
A plugged fuel filter, restricted fuel line, restricted in-tank
filter or defective fuel pump can prevent adequate amouts
of fuel from being supplied during power enrichment
mode.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DNo related DTCs.
DEngine is operating in “closed loop power enrichment”
mode for 3 seconds.
DEngine coolant temperature is above 60°C (140°F).
DWhile in “power enrichment” mode the oxygen sensor
voltage remains below 400 mV for 3 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DThe PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) the first the fault is detected.
DThe PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DThe PCM will turn the MIL “OFF” on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.
DA history DTC P1171 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.
DDTC P1171 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
DA restricted fuel filter or fuel line, restricted in-tank filter,
or a defective fuel pomp may supply adequate
amounts of fuel at idle, but may not be able to supply
enough fuel during heavy acceleration.
DWater or alcohol in the fuel may cause low HO2S
voltage during acceleration.
DCheck for faulty or plugged fuel injector(s).
DCheck for low fuel.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1508 IAC System Low RPM
T321115
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) controls engine
idle speed by adjusting the position of the idle air control
(IAC) motor pintle. The IAC is a bi-directional stepper
motor driven by two coils. The PCM applies current to the
IAC coils in steps (counts) to extend the IAC pintle into a
passage in the throttle body to decrease air flow. The
PCM reverses the current to retract the pintle, increasing
air flow. This method allows highly accurate control of idle
speed and quick response to changes in engine load. If
the PCM detects a condition where too low of an idle
speed is present and the PCM is unable to adjust idle
speed by increasing the IAC counts, DTC P1508 will set,
indicating a problem with the idle control system.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DNo Tech 2 test is being run.
DNone of these DTCs are set: TP sensor, VSS, ECT,
EGR, fuel system, MAF, MAP, IAT, canister purge,
injector control or ignition control.
DBarometric pressure is above 75 kPa.
DEngine coolant temperature (ECT) is above 50°C
(120°F).
DVehicle speed is less than 1 mph.
DThe engine has been running for at least 125 seconds.
DCanister purge duty cycle is above 10%.
DIgnition voltage is between 9.5 volts and 16.7 volts.
DThe throttle is closed.
DEngine speed is lower than desired idle.
DEngine speed is more than 100-200 RPM lower than
desired idle, based upon coolant temperature.
DAll of the above conditions are met for 5 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DThe PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) after the second consecutive trip in which the
fault is detected.
DThe PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DThe PCM will turn the MIL “OFF” on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.
DA history DTC P1508 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.
DDTC P1508 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
DPoor connection at PCM or IAC motor – Inspect
harness connectors for backed-out terminals,
improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or
damaged terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire
connection.
DDamaged harness – Inspect the wiring for damage.
DRestricted air intake system – Check for a possible
collapsed air intake duct, restricted air filter element,
or foreign objects blocking the air intake system.
DThrottle body – Check for objects blocking the IAC
passage or throttle bore, excessive deposits in the IAC
passage and on the IAC pintle, and excessive deposits
in the throttle bore and on the throttle plate.
DLarge vacuum leak – Check for a condition that causes
a large vacuum leak, such as an incorrectly installed or
faulty PCV valve or a disconnected brake booster
hose.
Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often
the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This
may assist in diagnosing the condition.

Symptom Diagnosis
Preliminary Checks
Before using this section, perform the “On–Board
Diagnostic (OBD) System Check” and verify all of the
following items:
DThe powertrain control module (PCM) and
malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) (Check Engine
lamp) are operating correctly.
DThere are no DTC(s) stored.
DTech 2 data is within normal operating range. Refer to
Typical Scan Data Values
.
DVerify the customer complaint and locate the correct
symptom in the table of contents. Perform the
procedure included in the symptom chart.
Visual/Physical Check
Several of the symptom procedures call for a careful
visual/physical check. This can lead to correcting a
problem without further checks and can save valuable
time.
This check should include the following items:
DPCM grounds for cleanliness, tightness and proper
location.
DVacuum hoses for splits, kinks, and proper
connections, as shown on the “Vehicle Emission
Control Information” label. Check thoroughly for any
type of leak or restriction.
DAir intake ducts for collapsed or damaged areas.
DAir leaks at throttle body mounting area, mass air flow
(MAF) sensor and intake manifold sealing surfaces.
DIgnition components for cracking, hardness, and
carbon tracking.
DWiring for proper connections, pinches and cuts.
Intermittents
IMPORTANT:An intermittent problem may or may not
turn on the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) or store a
DTC. DO NOT use the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
charts for intermittent problems. The fault must be
present to locate the problem.
Most intermittent problems are caused by faulty electrical
connections or wiring. Perform a careful visual/physical
check for the following conditions:
DPoor mating of the connector halves or a terminal not
fully seated in the connector (backed out).
DImproperly formed or damaged terminal.
DAll connector terminals in the problem circuit should
be carefully checked for proper contact tension.
DPoor terminal–to–wire connection. This requires
removing the terminal from the connector body to
check.
Road test the vehicle with a 5-8840-0285-0 Digital
Multimeter connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal voltage when the malfunction occurs is a good
indication that there is a fault in the circuit being
monitored.
Use a Tech 2 to help detect intermittent conditions. The
scan tool has several features that can be used to locate
an intermittent condition. Use the following feature to find
intermittent faults:
DUsing a Tech 2s “Freeze Frame” buffer or “Failure
Records” buffer can aid in locating an intermittent
condition. Review and record the information in the
freeze frame or failure record associated with the
intermittent DTC being diagnosed. The vehicle can
be driven within the conditions that were present
when the DTC originally set.
To check for loss of diagnostic code memory, disconnect
the MAP sensor and idle the engine until the MIL (Service
Engine Soon lamp) comes on. DTC P0107 should be
stored and kept in memory when the ignition is turned
“OFF.” If not, the PCM is faulty. When this test is
completed, make sure that you clear the DTC P0107 from
memory.
An intermittent MIL (Check Engine lamp) with no stored
DTC may be caused by the following:
DIgnition coil shorted to ground and arcing at ignition
wires or plugs.
DMIL (Check Engine lamp) wire to PCM shorted to
ground.
DPoor PCM grounds. Refer to the PCM wiring
diagrams.
Check for improper installation of electrical options such
as lights, cellular phones, etc. Check all wires from the
PCM to the ignition coils for poor connections.
Check for an open diode across the A/C compressor
clutch and check for other open diodes (refer to wiring
diagrams in
Electrical Diagnosis
).

Powertrain Control Module
(PCM)
Service Precaution
NOTE:To prevent possible electrostatic discharge
damage to the PCM, do not touch the connector pins or
soldered components on the circuit board.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Damage
Electronic components used in the control systems are
often designed to carry very low voltage. Electronic
components are susceptible to damage caused by
electrostatic discharge. Less than 100 volts of static
electricity can cause damage to some electronic
components. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000
volts for a person to even feel the zap of a static
discharge.
There are several ways for a person to become statically
charged. The most common methods of charging are by
friction and by induction. An example of charging by
friction is a person sliding across a car seat.
Charging by induction occurs when a person with well
insulated shoes stands near a highly charged object and
momentarily touches ground. Charges of the same
polarity are drained off leaving the person highly charged
with the opposite polarity. Static charges can cause
damage, therefore, it is important to use care when
handling and testing electronic components.
NOTE:To prevent possible Electrostatic Discharge
damage, follow these guidelines:
DDo not touch the control module connector pins or
soldered components on the control module circuit
board.
DDo not open the replacement part package until the
part is ready to be installed.
DBefore removing the part from the package, ground
the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
DIf the part has been handled while sliding across the
seat, or while sitting down from a standing position, or
while walking a distance, touch a known good ground
before installing the part.
NOTE:To prevent internal PCM damage, the ignition
must be in the “OFF” position in order to disconnect or
reconnect power to the PCM (for example: battery cable,
PCM pigtail, PCM fuse, jumper cables, etc.).
IMPORTANT:When replacing the production PCM
with a service PCM, it is important to transfer the
broadcast code and production PCM number to the
service PCM label. This will allow positive identification of
PCM parts throughout the service life of the vehicle. Do
not record this information on the metal PCM cover.
IMPORTANT:The ignition should always be in the
“OFF” position in order to install or remove the PCM
connectors.
Removal Procedure
1.Disconnect the negative battery cable.

Wiring and Connectors
Wiring Harness Service
The control module harness electrically connects the
control module to the various solenoids, switches and
sensors in the vehicle engine compartment and
passenger compartment.
Replace wire harnesses with the proper part number
replacement.
Because of the low amperage and voltage levels utilized
in powertrain control systems, it is essential that all wiring
in environmentally exposed areas be repaired with crimp
and seal splice sleeves.
The following wire harness repair information is intended
as a general guideline only. Refer to
Chassis Electrical
for
all wire harness repair procedures.
Connectors and Terminals
Use care when probing a connector and when replacing
terminals. It is possible to short between opposite
terminals. Damage to components could result. Always
use jumper wires between connectors for circuit
checking. NEVER probe through Weather-Pack seals.
Use an appropriate connector test adapter kit which
contains an assortment of flexible connectors used to
probe terminals during diagnosis. Use an appropriate
fuse remover and test tool for removing a fuse and to
adapt the fuse holder to a meter for diagnosis.
Open circuits are often difficult to locate by sight because
oxidation or terminal misalignment are hidden by the
connectors. Merely wiggling a connector on a sensor , or
in the wiring harness, may temporarily correct the open
circuit. Intermittent problems may also be caused by
oxidized or loose connections.
Be certain of the type of connector/terminal before
making any connector or terminal repair. Weather-Pack
and Com-Pack III terminals look similar , but are serviced
differently.

Weather-Pack Connector
Tools Required
5–8840–6632–0 Weather-Pack II Terminal Remover
Removal Procedure
A Weather-Pack connector can be identified by a rubber
seal at the rear of the connector. This engine room
connector protects against moisture and dirt, which could
from oxidation and deposits on the terminals. This
protection is important, because of the low voltage and
the low amperage found in the electronic systems.
1.Open the secondary lock hinge on the connector.
070
2.Use tool 5–8840–6632–0 or the equivalent to remove
the pin and the sleeve terminals. Push on
5–8840–6632–0 to release.
NOTE: Do the use an ordinary pick or the terminal may
be bent or deformed. Unlike standard blade terminals,
these terminals cannot be straightened after they have
been improperly bent.
071
3.Cut the wire immediately behind the cable seal.
072
Installation Procedure
Make certain the connectors are properly seated and all
of the sealing rings are in place when you reconnect the
leads. The secondary lock hinge provides a backup
locking feature for the connector. The secondary lock
hinge is used for added reliability. This flap should retain
the terminals even if the small terminal lock tangs are not
positioned properly.
Do not replace the Weather-Pack connections with
standard connections. Read the instructions provided
with the Weather-Pack connector and terminal packages.
1.Replace the terminal.
2.Slip the new seal onto the wire.

inserted through the seal (2) and through the
connector (3).
2.The terminal (1) is then crimped onto the wire.
061
3.Then the terminal is pulled back into the connector to
seat it in place.
General Description (PCM and
Sensors)
58X Reference PCM Input
The powertrain control module (PCM) uses this signal
from the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor to calculate
engine RPM and crankshaft position at all engine speeds.
The PCM also uses the pulses on this circuit to initiate
injector pulses. If the PCM receives no pulses on this
circuit, DTC P0337 will set. The engine will not start and
run without using the 58X reference signal.
A/C Request Signal
This signal tells the PCM when the A/C mode is selected
at the A/C control head. The PCM uses this to adjust the
idle speed before turning “ON” the A/C clutch. The A/C
compressor will be inoperative if this signal is not
available to the PCM.
Refer to
A/C Clutch Circuit Diagnosis
for A/C wiring
diagrams and diagnosis for the A/C electrical system.
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor provides a signal
used by the powertrain control module (PCM) to calculate
the ignition sequence. The CKP sensor initiates the 58X
reference pulses which the PCM uses to calculate RPM
and crankshaft position.
Refer to
Electronic Ignition System
for additional
information.
0013
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor and
Signal
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor sends a CMP signal
to the PCM. The PCM uses this signal as a “syncpulse” to
trigger the injectors in the proper sequence. The PCM
uses the CMP signal to indicate the position of the #1
piston during its power stroke. This allows the PCM to
calculate true sequential fuel injection (SFI) mode of
operation. If the PCM detects an incorrect CMP signal
while the engine is running, DTC P0341 will set. If the
CMP signal is lost while the engine is running, the fuel
injection system will shift to a calculated sequential fuel
injection mode based on the last fuel injection pulse, and
the engine will continue to run. As long as the fault is
present, the engine can be restarted. It will run in the
calculated sequential mode with a 1-in-6 chance of the
injector sequence being correct.
Refer to
DTC P0341
for further information.
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a
thermistor (a resistor which changes value based on
temperature) mounted in the engine coolant stream. Low
coolant temperature produces a high resistance of
100,000 ohms at –40°C (–40°F). High temperature
causes a low resistance of 70 ohms at 130°C (266°F).
The PCM supplies a 5-volt signal to the ECT sensor
through resistors in the PCM and measures the voltage.
The signal voltage will be high when the engine is cold and
low when the engine is hot. By measuring the voltage, the
PCM calculates the engine coolant temperature. Engine
coolant temperature affects most of the systems that the
PCM controls.
The Tech 2 displays engine coolant temperature in
degrees. After engine start-up, the temperature should
rise steadily to about 85°C (185°F). It then stabilizes
when the thermostat opens. If the engine has not been
run for several hours (overnight), the engine coolant
temperature and intake air temperature displays should
be close to each other . A hard fault in the engine coolant
sensor circuit will set DTC P0117 or DTC P0118.
0016
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read
Only Memory (EEPROM)
The electrically erasable programmable read only
memory (EEPROM) is a permanent memory chip that is
physically soldered within the PCM. The EEPROM
contains the program and the calibration information that
the PCM needs to control powertrain operation.
Fuel Control Heated Oxygen Sensors
The fuel control heated oxygen sensors (Bank 1 HO2S 1
and Bank 2 HO2S 1) are mounted in the exhaust stream
where they can monitor the oxygen content of the exhaust
gas. The oxygen present in the exhaust gas reacts with
the sensor to produce a voltage output. This voltage
should constantly fluctuate from approximately 100 mV to
900 mV. The heated oxygen sensor voltage can be
monitored with a T ech 2. By monitoring the voltage output
of the oxygen sensor , the PCM calculates the pulse width
command for the injectors to produce the proper
combustion chamber mixture.
DLow HO2S voltage is a lean mixture which will result in
a rich command to compensate.
DHigh HO2S voltage is a rich mixture which will result in
a lean command to compensate.
An open Bank 1 HO2S 1 signal circuit will set a DTC
P0134 and the Tech 2 will display a constant voltage
between 400-500 mV. A constant voltage below 300 mV
in the sensor circuit (circuit grounded) will set DTC
P0131. A constant voltage above 800 mV in the circuit will
set DTC P0132. Faults in the Bank 2 HO2S 1 signal
circuit will cause DTC 0154 (open circuit), DTC P0151
(grounded circuit), or DTC P0152 (signal voltage high) to
set. The PCM can also detect HO2S response problems.
If the response time of an HO2S is determined to be too
slow, the PCM will store a DTC that indicates degraded
HO2S performance.
0012
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is a thermistor
which changes its resistance based on the temperature of
air entering the engine. Low temperature produces a high
resistance of 100,000 ohms at –40°C (–40°F). High
temperature causes low resistance of 70 ohms at 130°C
(266°F) . The PCM supplies a 5-volt signal to the sensor
through a resistor in the PCM and monitors the signal
voltage. The voltage will be high when the incoming air is
cold. The voltage will be low when the incoming air is hot.
By measuring the voltage, the PCM calculates the
incoming air temperature. The IAT sensor signal is used
to adjust spark timing according to the incoming air
density.
The Tech 2 displays the temperature of the air entering
the engine. The temperature should read close to the
ambient air temperature when the engine is cold and rise
as underhood temperature increases. If the engine has
not been run for several hours (overnight), the IA T sensor
temperature and engine coolant temperature should read
close to each other. A fault in the IAT sensor circuit will set
DTC P0112 or DTC P0113.
Knock Sensor
Insufficient gasoline octane levels may cause detonation
in some engines. Detonation is an uncontrolled explosion
(burn) in the combustion chamber. This uncontrolled
explosion results from a flame front opposite that of the
normal flame front produced by the spark plug. The
rattling sound normally associated with detonation is the
result of two or more opposing pressures (flame fronts)
colliding within the combustion chamber. Light
detonation is sometimes considered normal, but heavy
detonation could result in engine damage.
A knock sensor system is used to control detonation. This
system is designed to retard spark timing up to 20
degrees to reduce detonation in the engine. This allows
the engine to use maximum spark advance to improve
driveability and fuel economy.
The knock sensor system has two major components:
DThe knock sensor (KS) module.
DThe knock sensor.
The knock sensor, mounted in the engine block near the
cylinders, detects abnormal vibration in the engine. The
sensor produces an AC output signal of about 10
millivolts. The signal amplitude and frequency are
dependent on the amount of knock being experienced.
The signal voltage increases with the severity of the
knock. This signal voltage is input to the PCM. The PCM
then retards the ignition control (IC) spark timing based
on the KS signal being received.
The PCM determines whether knock is occurring by
comparing the signal level on the KS circuit with the
voltage level on the noise channel. The noise channel
allows the PCM to reject any false knock signal by
indicating the amount of normal engine mechanical noise
present. Normal engine noise varies depending on the
engine speed and load. If the voltage level on the KS
noise channel circuit is below the range considered
normal, DTC P0327 will set, indicating a fault in the KS
circuit or the knock sensor. If the PCM determines that an
abnormal minimum or maximum noise level is being
experienced, DTC P0325 will set.
The PCM contains a knock sensor (KS) module. The KS
module contains the circuitry which allows the PCM to
utilize the KS signal and diagnose the KS sensor and the
KS circuitry. If the KS module is missing or faulty, a
continuous knock condition will be indicated, and the
PCM will set DTC P0325.
Although it is a plug-in device, the KS module is not
replaceable. If the KS module is faulty, the entire PCM
must be replaced.
0009
Linear Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
Control
The PCM monitors the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
actual position and adjusts the pintle position accordingly.
The PCM uses information from the following sensors to
control the pintle position:
DEngine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor.
DThrottle position (TP) sensor.
DMass air flow (MAF) sensor.
Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the difference
between the volume and the quantity of air that enters the
engine. “Volume” means the size of the space to be filled.
“Quantity” means the number of air molecules that will fit
into the space. This information is important to the PCM
because heavier, denser air will hold more fuel than
lighter, thinner air. The PCM adjusts the air/fuel ratio as
needed depending on the MAF value. The Tech 2 reads
the MAF value and displays it in terms of grams per
second (gm/s). At idle, the Tech 2 should read between
4-7 gm/s on a fully warmed up engine. Values should
change quickly on acceleration. Values should remain
stable at any given RPM. A failure in the MAF sensor or
circuit will set DTC P0101, DTC P0102, or DTC P0103.
0007
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor responds
to changes in intake manifold pressure (vacuum). The
MAP sensor signal voltage to the PCM varies from below
2 volts at idle (high vacuum) to above 4 volts with the
ignition ON, engine not running or at wide-open throttle
(low vacuum).
The MAP sensor is used to determine the following:
DEngine vacuum level for other diagnostics.
DBarometric pressure (BARO).
If the PCM detects a voltage that is lower than the
possible range of the MAP sensor, DTC P0107 will be set.
A signal voltage higher than the possible range of the
sensor will set DTC P0108. The PCM can detect a shifted
MAP sensor . The PCM compares the MAP sensor signal
to a calculated MAP based on throttle position and
various engine load factors.
055RW004
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
The powertrain control module (PCM) is located in the
passenger compartment below the center console. The
PCM controls the following:
DFuel metering system.
DTransmission shifting (automatic transmission only).
DIgnition timing.
DOn-board diagnostics for powertrain functions.
The PCM constantly observes the information from
various sensors. The PCM controls the systems that
affect vehicle performance. The PCM performs the
diagnostic function of the system. It can recognize
operational problems, alert the driver through the MIL
(Service Engine Soon lamp), and store diagnostic trouble
codes (DTCs). DTCs identify the problem areas to aid the
technician in making repairs.
DIPCM-6KT for automatic transmission-equipped
vehicles.
PCM Function
The PCM supplies either 5 or 12 volts to power various
sensors or switches. The power is supplied through
resistances in the PCM which are so high in value that a
test light will not light when connected to the circuit. In
some cases, even an ordinary shop voltmeter will not give
an accurate reading because its resistance is too low.
Therefore, a digital voltmeter with at least 10 megohms
input impedance is required to ensure accurate voltage
readings. Tool 5–8840–0285–0 meets this requirement.
The PCM controls output circuits such as the injectors,
IAC, cooling fan relays, etc., by controlling the ground or
the power feed circuit through transistors or through
either of the following two devices:
DOutput Driver Module (ODM)
DQuad Driver Module (QDM)
0005
PCM Components
The PCM is designed to maintain exhaust emission levels
to government mandated standards while providing
excellent driveability and fuel efficiency. The PCM
monitors numerous engine and vehicle functions via
electronic sensors such as the throttle position (TP)
sensor, heated oxygen sensor (HO2S), and vehicle
speed sensor (VSS). The PCM also controls certain
engine operations through the following:
DFuel injector control
DIgnition control module
DKnock sensor
DAutomatic transmission shift functions
DEvaporative emission (EVAP) purge
PCM Voltage Description
The PCM supplies a buffered voltage to various switches
and sensors. It can do this because resistance in the
PCM is so high in value that a test light may not illuminate
when connected to the circuit. An ordinary shop
voltmeter may not give an accurate reading because the
voltmeter input impedance is too low . Use a 10-megohm
input impedance digital voltmeter (such as
5–8840–0285–0) to assure accurate voltage readings.
The input/output devices in the PCM include
analog-to-digital converters, signal buffers, counters,
and special drivers. The PCM controls most components
with electronic switches which complete a ground circuit
when turned “ON.” These switches are arranged in
groups of 4 and 7, called either a surface-mounted quad
driver module (QDM), which can independently control up
to 4 output terminals, or QDMs which can independently
control up to 7 outputs. Not all outputs are always used.

PCM Service Precautions
The PCM is designed to withstand normal current draws
associated with vehicle operation. Avoid overloading any
circuit. When testing for opens and shorts, do not ground
or apply voltage to any of the PCMs circuits unless
instructed to do so. These circuits should only be tested
using digital voltmeter (5–8840–0285–0). The PCM
should remain connected to the PCM or to a
recommended breakout box.
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The throttle position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer
connected to the throttle shaft on the throttle body. The
PCM monitors the voltage on the signal line and
calculates throttle position. As the throttle valve angle is
changed (accelerator pedal moved), the TP sensor signal
also changes. At a closed throttle position, the output of
the TP sensor is low. As the throttle valve opens, the
output increases so that at wide open throttle (WOT), the
output voltage should be above 4 volts.
The PCM calculates fuel delivery based on throttle valve
angle (driver demand). A broken or loose TP sensor may
cause intermittent bursts of fuel from an injector and
unstable idle because the PCM thinks the throttle is
moving. A hard failure in the TP sensor 5-volt reference
or signal circuits will set either a DTC P0122 or DTC
P0123. A hard failure with the TP sensor ground circuit
may set DTC P0123 and DTC P0112. Once a DTC is set,
the PCM will use an artificial default value based on
engine RPM and mass air flow for the throttle position,
and some vehicle performance will return. A high idle
may result when either DTC P0122 or DTC P0123 is set.
The PCM can also detect a shifted TP sensor. The PCM
monitors throttle position and compares the actual TP
sensor reading to a predicted TP value calculated from
engine speed. If the PCM detects an out-of-range
condition, DTC P0121 will be set.
0021
Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT)
Sensor
The transmission fluid temperature sensor is a thermistor
which changes its resistance based on the temperature of
the transmission fluid. For a complete description of the
TFT sensor, refer to
4L30-E Automatic Transmission
Diagnosis
A failure in the TFT sensor or associated wiring will cause
DTC P0712 or DTC P0713 to set. In this case, engine
coolant temperature will be substituted for the TFT
sensor value and the transmission will operate normally.
Transmission Range Switch
IMPORTANT:The vehicle should not be driven with the
transmission range switch disconnected; idle quality will
be affected.
The four inputs from the transmission range switch
indicate to the PCM which position is selected by the
transmission selector lever. This information is used for
ignition timing, EVAP canister purge, EGR and IAC valve
operation.
For more information on the transmission on the
transmission range switch, refer to
4L30-E Automatic
Transmission
.
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)The PCM determines the speed of the vehicle by
converting a plusing voltage signal from the vehicle speed
sensor (VSS) into miles per hour. The PCM uses this
signal to operate the cruise control, speedometer, and the
TCC and shift solenoids in the transmission. For more
information on the TCC and shift solenoids, refer to
4L30-E Automatic Transmission.
0008
Use of Circuit Testing Tools
Do not use a test light to diagnose the powertrain
electrical systems unless specifically instructed by the
diagnostic procedures. Use Connector Test Adapter Kit J
35616 whenever diagnostic procedures call for probing
connectors.
Aftermarket Electrical and Vacuum
Equipment
Aftermarket (add-on) electrical and vacuum equipment is
defined as any equipment which connects to the vehicles
electrical or vacuum systems that is installed on a vehicle
after it leaves the factory. No allowances have been
made in the vehicle design for this type of equipment.
NOTE:No add-on vacuum equipment should be added
to this vehicle.
NOTE:Add-on electrical equipment must only be
connected to the vehicles electrical system at the battery
(power and ground).
Add-on electrical equipment, even when installed to
these guidelines, may still cause the powertrain system to
malfunction. This may also include equipment not
connected to the vehicle electrical system such as
portable telephones and radios. Therefore, the first step
in diagnosing any powertrain problem is to eliminate all
aftermarket electrical equipment from the vehicle. After
this is done, if the problem still exists, it may be diagnosed
in the normal manner.
Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electronic components used in the PCM are often
designed to carry very low voltage. Electronic
components are susceptible to damage caused by
electrostatic discharge. Less than 100 volts of static
electricity can cause damage to some electronic
components. By comparison, it takes as much as 4000
volts for a person to feel even the zap of a static
discharge.
TS23793
There are several ways for a person to become statically
charged. The most common methods of charging are by
friction and induction.
DAn example of charging by friction is a person sliding
across a vehicle seat.
DCharge by induction occurs when a person with well
insulated shoes stands near a highly charged object
and momentary touches ground. Charges of the
same polarity are drained off leaving the person
highly charged with the opposite polarity. Static
charges can cause damage, therefore it is important
to use care when handling and testing electronic
components.
NOTE:To prevent possible electrostatic discharge
damage, follow these guidelines:
DDo not touch the PCM connector pins or soldered
components on the PCM circuit board.
DDo not touch the knock sensor module component
leads.
DDo not open the replacement part package until the
part is ready to be installed.

General Description (Air Induction)
Air Induction System
The air induction system filters contaminants from the
outside air, and directs the progress of the air as it is
drawn into the engine. A remote-mounted air cleaner
prevents dirt and debris in the air from entering the
engine. The air duct assembly routes filtered air to the
throttle body. Air enters the engine by to following steps:
1.Through the throttle body.
2.Into the common chamber.
3.Through the cylinder head intake ports.
4.Into the cylinders.

General Description (Fuel Metering)
Acceleration Mode
The PCM provides extra fuel when it detects a rapid
increase in the throttle position and the air flow.
Accelerator Controls
The accelerator control system is a cable-type system
with specific linkage adjustments.
Refer to
Cable Adjustment
. - Section 6E1
Battery Voltage Correction Mode
When battery voltage is low, the PCM will compensate for
the weak spark by increasing the following:
DThe amount of fuel delivered.
DThe idle RPM.
DIgnition dwell time.
CMP Signal
The PCM uses this signal to determine the position of the
number 1 piston during its power stroke, allowing the
PCM to calculate true sequential multiport fuel injection
(SFI). Loss of this signal will set a DTC P0341. If the CMP
signal is lost while the engine is running, the fuel injection
system will shift to a calculated sequential fuel injection
based on the last fuel injection pulse, and the engine will
continue to run. The engine can be restarted and will run
in the calculated sequential mode as long as the fault is
present, with a 1-in-6 chance of being correct.
Clear Flood Mode
Clear a flooded engine by pushing the accelerator pedal
down all the way. The PCM then de-energizes the fuel
injectors. The PCM holds the fuel injectors de-energized
as long as the throttle remains above 80% and the engine
speed is below 800 RPM. If the throttle position becomes
less than 80%, the PCM again begins to pulse the
injectors “ON” and “OFF,” allowing fuel into the cylinders.
Deceleration Mode
The PCM reduces the amount of fuel injected when it
detects a decrease in the throttle position and the air flow.
When deceleration is very fast, the PCM may cut off fuel
completely for short periods.
Engine Speed/Vehicle Speed/Fuel Disable
Mode
The PCM monitors engine speed. It turns off the fuel
injectors when the engine speed increase above 6400
RPM. The fuel injectors are turned back on when engine
speed decreases below 6150 RPM.
Fuel Cutoff Mode
No fuel is delivered by the fuel injectors when the ignition
is “OFF.” This prevents engine run-on. In addition, the
PCM suspends fuel delivery if no reference pulses are
detected (engine not running) to prevent engine flooding.
Fuel Injector
The sequential multiport fuel injection (SFI) fuel injector is
a solenoid-operated device controlled by the PCM. The
PCM energizes the solenoid, which opens a valve to allow
fuel delivery.
The fuel is injected under pressure in a conical spray
pattern at the opening of the intake valve. Excess fuel not
used by the injectors passes through the fuel pressure
regulator before being returned to the fuel tank.
A fuel injector which is stuck partly open will cause a loss
of fuel pressure after engine shut down, causing long
crank times.
0003
Fuel Metering System Components
The fuel metering system is made up of the following
parts:
DThe fuel injectors.
DThe throttle body.
DThe fuel rail.
DThe fuel pressure regulator.
DThe PCM.
DThe crankshaft position (CKP) sensor.
DThe camshaft position (CMP) sensor.
DThe idle air control (IAC) valve.
DThe fuel pump.
DThe fuel pump relay.
Basic System Operation
The fuel metering system starts with the fuel in the fuel
tank. An electric fuel pump, located in the fuel tank,
pumps fuel to the fuel rail through an in-line fuel filter. The
pump is designed to provide fuel at a pressure above the
pressure needed by the injectors. A fuel pressure
regulator in the fuel rail keeps fuel available to the fuel
injectors at a constant pressure. A return line delivers
unused fuel back to the fuel tank. Refer to
Section 6C
for
further information on the fuel tank, line filter, and fuel
pipes.
Fuel Metering System Purpose
The basic function of the air/fuel metering system is to
control the air/fuel delivery to the engine. Fuel is delivered
to the engine by individual fuel injectors mounted in the
intake manifold near each intake valve.
The main control sensor is the heated oxygen sensor
(HO2S) located in the exhaust system. The HO2S tells
the PCM how much oxygen is in the exhaust gas. The
PCM changes the air/fuel ratio to the engine by controlling
the amount of time that fuel injector is “ON.” The best
mixture to minimize exhaust emissions is 14.7 parts of air
to 1 part of gasoline by weight, which allows the catalytic
converter to operate most efficiently. Because of the
constant measuring and adjusting of the air/fuel ratio, the
fuel injection system is called a “closed loop” system.
The PCM monitors signals from several sensors in order
to determine the fuel needs of the engine. Fuel is
delivered under one of several conditions called “modes.”
All modes are controlled by the PCM.
Fuel Pressure Regulator
The fuel pressure regulator is a diaphragm-operated
relief valve mounted on the fuel rail with fuel pump
pressure on one side and manifold pressure on the other
side. The fuel pressure regulator maintains the fuel
pressure available to the injector at three times
barometric pressure adjusted for engine load. It may be
serviced separate.
If the pressure is too low, poor performance and a DTC
P0131, DTC P0151,DTC P0171 will be the result. If the
pressure is too high, excessive odor and/or a DTC P0132,
DTC P0152,DTC P0172 or DTC P0175 will be the result.
Refer to
Fuel System Diagnosis
for information on
diagnosing fuel pressure conditions.
0011
Fuel Pump Electrical Circuit
When the key is first turned “ON,” the PCM energizes the
fuel pump relay for two seconds to build up the fuel
pressure quickly. If the engine is not started within two
seconds, the PCM shuts the fuel pump off and waits until
the engine is cranked. When the engine is cranked and
the 58 X crankshaft position signal has been detected by
the PCM, the PCM supplies 12 volts to the fuel pump relay
to energize the electric in-tank fuel pump.
An inoperative fuel pump will cause a “no-start” condition.
A fuel pump which does not provide enough pressure will
result in poor performance.
Fuel Rail
The fuel rail is mounted to the top of the engine and
distributes fuel to the individual injectors. Fuel is
delivered to the fuel inlet tube of the fuel rail by the fuel
lines. The fuel goes through the fuel rail to the fuel
pressure regulator. The fuel pressure regulator maintains
a constant fuel pressure at the injectors. Remaining fuel
is then returned to the fuel tank.
055RV009
Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve
The purpose of the idle air control (IAC) valve is to control
engine idle speed, while preventing stalls due to changes
in engine load. The IAC valve, mounted in the throttle
body, controls bypass air around the throttle plate. By
moving the conical valve (pintle) in (to decrease air flow)
or out (to increase air flow), a controlled amount of air can
move around the throttle plate. If the RPM is too low , the
PCM will retract the IAC pintle, resulting in more air
moving past the throttle plate to increase the RPM. If the
RPM is too high, the PCM will extend the IAC pintle,
allowing less air to move past the throttle plate,
decreasing the RPM.
The IAC pintle valve moves in small steps called counts.
During idle, the proper position of the IAC pintle is
calculated by the PCM based on battery voltage, coolant
temperature, engine load, and engine RPM. If the RPM
drops below a specified value, and the throttle plate is
closed, the PCM senses a near-stall condition. The PCM
will then calculate a new IAC pintle valve position to
prevent stalls.
If the IAC valve is disconnected and reconnected with the
engine running, the idle RPM will be wrong. In this case,
the IAC must be reset. The IAC resets when the key is
cycled “ON” then “OFF.” When servicing the IAC, it
should only be disconnected or connected with the
ignition “OFF.”
The position of the IAC pintle valve affects engine start-up
and the idle characteristics of the vehicle. If the IAC pintle
is fully open, too much air will be allowed into the manifold.
This results in high idle speed, along with possible hard
starting and a lean air/fuel ratio.
0006
Run Mode
The run mode has the following two conditions:
DOpen loop
DClosed loop
When the engine is first started the system is in “open
loop” operation. In “open loop,” the PCM ignores the
signal from the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S). It
calculates the air/fuel ratio based on inputs from the TP,
ECT, and MAF sensors.
The system remains in “open loop” until the following
conditions are met:
DThe HO2S has a varying voltage output showing that
it is hot enough to operate properly (this depends on
temperature).
DThe ECT has reached a specified temperature.
DA specific amount of time has elapsed since starting
the engine.
DEngine speed has been greater than a specified RPM
since start-up.
The specific values for the above conditions vary with
different engines and are stored in the programmable
read only memory (PROM). When these conditions are
met, the system enters “closed loop” operation. In
“closed loop,” the PCM calculates the air/fuel ratio
(injector on-time) based on the signal from the HO2S.
This allows the air/fuel ratio to stay very close to 14.7:1.
Starting Mode
When the ignition is first turned “ON,” the PCM energizes
the fuel pump relay for two seconds to allow the fuel pump
to build up pressure. The PCM then checks the engine
coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and the throttle
position (TP) sensor to determine the proper air/fuel ratio
for starting.
The PCM controls the amount of fuel delivered in the
starting mode by adjusting how long the fuel injectors are
energized by pulsing the injectors for very short times.
Throttle Body Unit
The throttle body has a throttle plate to control the amount
of air delivered to the engine. The TP sensor and IAC
valve are also mounted on the throttle body. Vacuum
ports located behind the throttle plate provide the vacuum
signals needed by various components.
Engine coolant is directed through a coolant cavity in the
throttle body to warm the throttle valve and to prevent
icing.
0019
General Description (Electronic
Ignition System)
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor is located on the
rear left side. As the camshaft sprocket turns, a magnet in
the sprocket activates the Hall-effect switch in the CMP
sensor. When the Hall-effect switch is activated, it
grounds the signal line to the PCM, pulling the camshaft
position sensor signal circuits applied voltage low. This is
a CMP signal. The CMP signals is created as piston #1 is
approximately 25° after top dead counter on the power
stroke. If the correct CMP signal is not received by the
PCM, DTC P0341 will be set.
0014
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor provides a signal
used by the powertrain control module (PCM) to calculate
the ignition sequence. The sensor initiates the 58X
reference pulses which the PCM uses to calculate RPM
and crankshaft position. Refer to
Electronic Ignition
System
for additional information.
Electronic IgnitionThe electronic ignition system controls fuel combustionby providing a spark to ignite the compressed air/fuel
mixture at the correct time. To provide optimum engine
performance, fuel economy, and control of exhaust
emissions, the PCM controls the spark advance of the
ignition system. Electronic ignition has the following
advantages over a mechanical distributor system:
DNo moving parts.
DLess maintenance.
DRemote mounting capability.
DNo mechanical load on the engine.
DMore coil cooldown time between firing events.
DElimination of mechanical timing adjustments.
DIncreased available ignition coil saturation time.
0013
Ignition CoilsA separate coil-at-plug module is located at each spark
plug. The coil-at-plug module is attached to the engine
with two screws. It is installed directly to the spark plug by
an electrical contact inside a rubber boot. A three-way
connector provides 12-volt primary supply from the
15-amp ignition fuse, a ground-switching trigger line from
the PCM, and a ground.
0001
Ignition ControlThe ignition control (IC) spark timing is the PCM’s method
of controlling the spark advance and the ignition dwell.
The IC spark advance and the ignition dwell are
calculated by the PCM using the following inputs:
DEngine speed.
DCrankshaft position (58X reference).
DCamshaft position (CMP) sensor.
DEngine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor.
DThrottle position (TP) sensor.
DKnock signal (knock sensor).
DPark/Neutral position (PRNDL input).
DVehicle speed (vehicle speed sensor).
DPCM and ignition system supply voltage.
DThe crankshaft positron (CKP) sensor sends the
PCM a 58X signal related to the exact position of the
crankshaft.
TS22909
DThe camshaft position (CMP) sensor sends a signal
related to the position of the camshaft.
DThe knock sensor tells the PCM if there is any
problem with pre-ignition or detonation. This
information allows the PCM to retard timing, if
necessary.
TS24037
Based on these sensor signals and engine load
information, the PCM sends 5V to each ignition coil.
060RW015
The PCM applies 5V signal voltage to the ignition coil
requiring ignition. This signal sets on the power transistor
of the ignition coil to establish a grounding circuit for the
primary coil, applying battery voltage to the primary coil.
At the ignition timing, the PCM stops sending the 5V
signal voltage. Under this condition the power transistor
of the ignition coil is set off to cut the battery voltage to the
primary coil, thereby causing a magnetic field generated
in the primary coil to collapse. On this moment a line of
magnetic force flows to the secondary coil, and when this
magnetic line crosses the coil, high voltage induced by
the secondary ignition circuit to flow through the spark
plug to the ground.
TS24047
Ignition Control PCM Output
The PCM provides a zero volt (actually about 100 mV to
200 mV) or a 5-volt output signal to the ignition control (IC)
module. Each spark plug has its own primary and
secondary coil module (”coil-at-plug”) located at the spark
plug itself. When the ignition coil receives the 5-volt signal
from the PCM, it provides a ground path for the B+ supply
to the primary side of the coil-at -plug module. This
energizes the primary coil and creates a magnetic field in
the coil-at-plug module. When the PCM shuts off the
5-volt signal to the ignition control module, the ground
path for the primary coil is broken. The magnetic field
collapses and induces a high voltage secondary impulse
which fires the spark plug and ignites the air/fuel mixture.
The circuit between the PCM and the ignition coil is
monitored for open circuits, shorts to voltage, and shorts
to ground. If the PCM detects one of these events, it will
set one of the following DTCs:
DP0351: Ignition coil Fault on Cylinder #1
DP0352: Ignition coil Fault on Cylinder #2
DP0353: Ignition coil Fault on Cylinder #3
DP0354: Ignition coil Fault on Cylinder #4
DP0355: Ignition coil Fault on Cylinder #5
DP0356: Ignition coil Fault on Cylinder #6
Knock Sensor (KS) PCM Input
The knock sensor (KS) system is comprised of a knock
sensor and the PCM. The PCM monitors the KS signals
to determine when engine detonation occurs. When a
knock sensor detects detonation, the PCM retards the
spark timing to reduce detonation. Timing may also be
retarded because of excessive mechanical engine or
transmission noise.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
The PCM is responsible for maintaining proper spark and
fuel injection timing for all driving conditions. To provide
optimum driveability and emissions, the PCM monitors
the input signals from the following components in order
to calculate spark timing:
DEngine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor.
DIntake air temperature (IAT) sensor.
DMass air flow (MAF) sensor.
DPRNDL input from transmission range switch.
DThrottle position (TP) sensor.
DVehicle speed sensor (VSS) .
DCrankshaft position (CKP) sensor.
Spark Plug
Although worn or dirty spark plugs may give satisfactory
operation at idling speed, they frequency fail at higher
engine speeds. Faulty spark plugs may cause poor fuel
economy, power loss, loss of speed, hard starting and
generally poor engine performance. Follow the
scheduled maintenance service recommendations to
ensure satisfactory spark plug performance. Refer to
Maintenance and Lubrication
.
Normal spark plug operation will result in brown to
grayish-tan deposits appearing on the insulator portion of
the spark plug. A small amount of red-brown, yellow, and
white powdery material may also be present on the
insulator tip around the center electrode. These deposits
are normal combustion by-products of fuels and
lubricating oils with additives. Some electrode wear will
also occur.
Carbon fouling of the spark plug is indicated by dry, black
carbon (soot) deposits on the portion of the spark plug in
the cylinder. Excessive idling and slow speeds under
light engine loads can keep the spark plug temperatures
so low that these deposits are not burned off. Very rich
fuel mixtures or poor ignition system output may also be
the cause. Refer to DTC P0172.
Oil fouling of the spark plug is indicated by wet oily
deposits on the portion of the spark plug in the cylinder,
usually with little electrode wear . This may be caused by
oil during break-in of new or newly overhauled engines.
Deposit fouling of the spark plug occurs when the normal
red-brown, yellow or white deposits of combustion by
products become sufficient to cause misfiring. In some
cases, these deposits may melt and form a shiny glaze on
the insulator around the center electrode. If the fouling is
found in only one or two cylinders, valve stem clearances
or intake valve seals may be allowing excess lubricating
oil to enter the cylinder, particularly if the deposits are
heavier on the side of the spark plug facing the intake
valve.
TS23995
Excessive gap means that the air space between the
center and the side electrodes at the bottom of the spark
plug is too wide for consistent firing. This may be due to
improper gap adjustment or to excessive wear of the
electrode during use. A check of the gap size and
comparison to the gap specified for the vehicle in
Maintenance and Lubrication
will tell if the gap is too wide.
A spark plug gap that is too small may cause an unstable
idle condition. Excessive gap wear can be an indication
of continuous operation at high speeds or with engine
loads, causing the spark to run too hot. Another possible
cause is an excessively lean fuel mixture.
TS23992
Low or high spark plug installation torque or improper
seating can result in the spark plug running too hot and
can cause excessive center electrode wear. The plug
and the cylinder head seats must be in good contact for
proper heat transfer and spark plug cooling. Dirty or
damaged threads in the head or on the spark plug can
keep it from seating even though the proper torque is
applied. Once spark plugs are properly seated, tighten
them to the torque shown in the Specifications T able. Low
torque may result in poor contact of the seats due to a
loose spark plug. Overtightening may cause the spark
plug shell to be stretched and will result in poor contact
between the seats. In extreme cases, exhaust blow-by
and damage beyond simple gap wear may occur.
Cracked or broken insulators may be the result of
improper installation, damage during spark plug
re-gapping, or heat shock to the insulator material. Upper
insulators can be broken when a poorly fitting tool is used
during installation or removal, when the spark plug is hit
from the outside, or is dropped on a hard surface. Cracks
in the upper insulator may be inside the shell and not
visible. Also, the breakage may not cause problems until
oil or moisture penetrates the crack later.
TS23994
A broken or cracked lower insulator tip (around the center
electrode) may result from damage during re-gapping or
from “heat shock” (spark plug suddenly operating too
hot).
TS23993
DDamage during re-gapping can happen if the gapping
tool is pushed against the center electrode or the
insulator around it, causing the insulator to crack.
When re-gapping a spark plug, make the adjustment
by bending only the ground side terminal, keeping the
tool clear of other parts.
D”Heat shock” breakage in the lower insulator tip
generally occurs during several engine operating
conditions (high speeds or heavy loading) and may be
caused by over-advanced timing or low grade fuels.
Heat shock refers to a rapid increase in the tip
temperature that causes the insulator material to
crack.
Spark plugs with less than the recommended amount of
service can sometimes be cleaned and re-gapped , then
returned to service. However , if there is any doubt about
the serviceability of a spark plug, replace it. Spark plugs
with cracked or broken insulators should always be
replaced.
A/C Clutch Diagnosis
A/C Clutch Circuit Operation
A 12-volt signal is supplied to the A/C request input of the
PCM when the A/C is selected through the A/C control
switch.
The A/C compressor clutch relay is controlled through the
PCM. This allows the PCM to modify the idle air control
position prior to the A/C clutch engagement for better idle
quality. If the engine operating conditions are within their
specified calibrated acceptable ranges, the PCM will
enable the A/C compressor relay. This is done by
providing a ground path for the A/C relay coil within the
PCM. When the A/C compressor relay is enabled,
battery voltage is supplied to the compressor clutch coil.
The PCM will enable the A/C compressor clutch
whenever the engine is running and the A/C has been
requested. The PCM will not enable the A/C compressor
clutch if any of the following conditions are met:
DThe throttle is greater than 90%.
DThe engine speed is greater than 6315 RPM.
DThe ECT is greater than 119°C (246°F).
DThe IAT is less than 5°C (41°F).
DThe throttle is more than 80% open.
A/C Clutch Circuit Purpose
The A/C compressor operation is controlled by the
powertrain control module (PCM) for the following
reasons:
DIt improvises idle quality during compressor clutch
engagement.
DIt improvises wide open throttle (WOT) performance.
DIt provides A/C compressor protection from operation
with incorrect refrigerant pressures.
The A/C electrical system consists of the following
components:
DThe A/C control head.
DThe A/C refrigerant pressure switches.
DThe A/C compressor clutch.
DThe A/C compressor clutch relay.
DThe PCM.
A/C Request Signal
This signal tells the PCM when the A/C mode is selected
at the A/C control head. The PCM uses this to adjust the
idle speed before turning on the A/C clutch. The A/C
compressor will be inoperative if this signal is not
available to the PCM.
Refer to
A/C Clutch Circuit Diagnosis
for A/C wiring
diagrams and diagnosis for A/C electrical system.
General Description (Evaporative
(EVAP) Emission System)
EVAP Emission Control System Purpose
The basic evaporative emission (EVAP) control system
used on all vehicles is the charcoal canister storage
method. Gasoline vapors from the fuel tank flow into the
canister through the inlet labeled “TANK.” These vapors
are absorbed into the activated carbon (charcoal) storage
device (canister) in order to hold the vapors when the
vehicle is not operating. The canister is purged by PCM
control when the engine coolant temperature is over 60°C
(140°F), the IAT reading is over 10°C (50°F), and the
engine has been running. Air is drawn into the canister
through the air inlet grid. The air mixes with the vapor and
the mixture is drawn into the intake manifold.
EVAP Emission Control System Operation
The EVAP canister purge is controlled by a solenoid valve
that allows the manifold vacuum to purge the canister.
The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies a ground
to energize the solenoid valve (purge on). The EVAP
purge solenoid control is pulse-width modulated (PWM)
(turned on and off several times a second). The duty
cycle (pulse width) is determined by engine operating
conditions including load, throttle positron, coolant
temperature and ambient temperature. The duty cycle is
calculated by the PCM. The output is commanded when
the appropriate conditions have been met. These
conditions are:
DThe engine is fully warmed up.
DThe engine has been running for a specified time.
DThe IAT reading is above 10°C (50°F).
Poor idle, stalling and poor driveability can be caused by:
DA malfunctioning purge solenoid.
DA damaged canister.
DHoses that are split, cracked, or not connected
properly.
General Description (Exhaust Gas
Recirculation (EGR) System)
EGR Purpose
The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system is use to
reduce emission levels of oxides of nitrogen (NOx). NOx
emission levels are caused by a high combustion
temperature. The EGR system lowers the NOx emission
levels by decreasing the combustion temperature.
057RW002
Linear EGR Valve
The main element of the system is the linear EGR valve.
The EGR valve feeds small amounts of exhaust gas back
into the combustion chamber . The fuel/air mixture will be
diluted and combustion temperatures reduced.
Linear EGR Control
The PCM monitors the EGR actual positron and adjusts
the pintle position accordingly. The uses information from
the following sensors to control the pintle position:
DEngine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor.
DThrottle position (TP) sensor.
DMass air flow (MAF) sensor.
Linear EGR Valve Operation and Results
of Incorrect Operation
The linear EGR valve is designed to accurately supply
EGR to the engine independent of intake manifold
vacuum. The valve controls EGR flow from the exhaust
to the intake manifold through an orifice with a PCM
controlled pintle. During operation, the PCM controls
pintle position by monitoring the pintle position feedback
signal. The feedback signal can be monitored with a T ech
2 as “Actual EGR Pos.” “Actual EGR Pos.” should always
be near the commanded EGR position (”Desired EGR
Pos.”). If a problem with the EGR system will not allow the
PCM to control the pintle position properly, DTC P1404
will set. The PCM also tests for EGR flow.
The linear EGR valve is usually activated under the
following conditions:
DWarm engine operation.
DAbove-idle speed.
Too much EGR flow at idle, cruise or cold operation may
cause any of the following conditions to occur:
DEngine stalls after a cold start.
DEngine stalls at idle after deceleration.
DVehicle surges during cruise.
DRough idle.
Too little or no EGR flow may allow combustion
temperatures to get too high. This could cause:
DSpark knock (detonation).
DEngine overheating.
DEmission test failure.
DPoor fuel economy.
0017
EGR Pintle Position Sensor
The PCM monitors the EGR valve pintle position input to
endure that the valve responds properly to commands
from the PCM and to detect a fault if the pintle position
sensor and control circuits are open or shorted. If the
PCM detects a pintle position signal voltage outside the
normal range of the pintle position sensor, or a signal
voltage that is not within a tolerance considered
acceptable for proper EGR system operation, the PCM
will set DTC P1404.
General Description (Positive
Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) System)
Crankcase Ventilation System Purpose
The crankcase ventilation system is use to consume
crankcase vapors in the combustion process instead of
venting them to the atmosphere. Fresh air from the
throttle body is supplied to the crankcase and mixed with
blow-by gases. This mixture is then passed through the
positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve into the
common chamber.
Crankcase Ventilation System Operation
The primary control is through the positive crankcase
ventilation (PCV) valve. The PCV valve meters the flow at
a rate that depends on the intake vacuum. The PCV valve
restricts the flow when the inlet vacuum is highest. In
addition, the PCV valve can seal the common chamber
off in case of sudden high pressure in the crankcase.
028RV002
While the engine is running, exhaust fuses and small
amounts of the fuel/air mixture escape past the piston
rings and enter the crankcase. These gases are mixed
with clean air entering through a tube from the air intake
duct.
028RW002
During normal, part-throttle operation, the system is
designed to allow crankcase gases to flow through the
PCV valve into the throttle body to be consumed by
normal combustion.
A plugged valve or PCV hose may cause the following
conditions:
DRough idle.
DStalling of slow idle speed.
DOil leaks.
DSludge in the engine.
A leaking PCV hose would cause:
DRough idle.
DStalling.
DHigh idle speed.
