4.1 DTC P0513, P0633, P1629, P1632, P1648,
P1677, P1678, and P1679 – Immobiliser
Signal
DTC Description
This diagnostic procedure cov ers the following DTCs:
DTC P0513 – Incorrect Immobiliser Key
DTC P0633 – Immobiliser Key Not Programmed
DTC P1629 – Theft Deterrent Start Enable Signal Not Recei v ed
DTC P1632 – Theft Deterrent Start Disable Signal Received
DTC P1648 – Anti-theft Device Wrong Security Code
DTC P1677 – Immobiliser Function Deactivated
DTC P1678 – Immobiliser Powertrain Identifi cation Failed
DTC P1679 – Immobiliser Environment Iden tification F ailed
Circuit Description
The Engine Control Module (ECM), the Powertrain Interface Module (PIM), and the Body Control Module (BCM) are
integral part of the vehicle theft deterrent system. The theft deterrent system authenticates the security code
programmed into each of these modules to prevent unauthorised vehicle operation. This authentication process includes
the following steps:
1 When the ignition is turned on or the door is unlocked by remote key the BCM and the key e xc hange security data
to verify the correct key is used.
2 Once the correct key has been confirmed and the ignition is turned on, the PIM and BCM exchange data to confirm
the correct BCM and PIM is being used.
3 Once the correct key, BCM, and PIM is confirmed, the PIM and ECM exchange data to allow the vehicle to start.
4 The data exchange processes conducted use various encrypted data exchanges between each of the devices.
NOTE
If any of these authentication processes fail, the
vehicle will not start and DT Cs will set. For further
information on the theft deterrent system, refer to
Section 12J Body Control Module.
An immobiliser signal DTC sets if the theft deterrent system authentication process fails.
Engine Management – HSV - Gen IV V8 Page 6C4–31
Page 6C4–31
Condition for Running the DTCs
The ignition is on. T he DTC runs in conjunction with the authentication process.
Condition for Setting the DTCs
If the key is not programmed to the BCM, then the key authentication will fail (and the vehicle will be immobil ised)
If the BCM is not linked to the PIM, then PIM to BCM Authentication will fail (and the vehicle will be immo bilised)
If the PIM is not linked to the ECM then the ECM to PIM authentication will fail (and the vehicle will be immobilised)
If the PIM, BCM, Key or ECM have corrupt memory, then the authentication will fail (and the vehicl e will be
immobilised)
If there is a fault with the GMLAN or UART bus, no authentication will occur (and the vehicle will be immobilised)
Conditions for Clearing the DTCs
The Immobiliser signal DTCs are Type C DTCs. Refer to # for action taken when a Type C DTC sets and conditions for
clearing Type C DT Cs.
Additional Information
Since a fault condition in a wiring connector may trigger DTCs, always test the connectors related to this diagnostic
procedure for shorted terminals or poor wiring connection before replacing an y compone nt.
Refer to Section 12P Wiring Diagrams for information on electrical fault diagnosis.
For an intermittent fault condition, refer to Intermittent Fault Conditions.
The vehicle will allow engine cranking for up to 5 seconds. If the ignition key, BCM, and PIM do not authenticate
the ECM will cease engine cranki ng, or if the engine has started it will stall. Subsequent engine cranking will not
initiate unless the ignition is switched off for more than 5 seconds.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
2 Tests the integrity of the GM LAN serial dat a communication circuit.
3 Tests for fault conditions on the vehicle th eft deterrent system stored in the PIM.
4 Tests for fault conditions on the vehicle th eft deterrent system stored in the BCM.

4.3 DTC P0719 – Brake Switch Failure
Circuit Description
The brake switch indicates the brake p ed al status to the engine control module (ECM). The brake switch is a normally-
closed switch that supplies battery voltage on the brake swit ch supply voltage circuit to the ECM at connector A43 – X1
pin 46. Applying the brake opens the brake s witch, interrup t ing voltage to the ECM. When the brake is releas ed, the
ECM receives a constant voltage signal in put.
If the ECM receives a zero voltage signal input at the brake switch supply voltage circuit, and the cruise control is
engaged, the ECM disengages the cruise control. The ECM disregards the brake switch input if there is a brake switch
circuit fault, and the cruise control will not operate.
When the ECM detects an open brake switch circuit (0-volts / low input) during accelerations, then DTC P071 9 sets.
DTC P0719 is a type C DTC.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure su pports the following DTC:
DTC P0719 Brake Switch Circuit Low Voltage
Conditions for Running the DTC
No Brake Switch DTC P0724.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects that vehicle speed has increased from below 8 kph to within 8-30 kph for 2-4 seconds then is greater
than 30kph for 6 seconds (an acceleration) while the brake switch in put to the ECM is low. The ECM must fail the
diagnostic on eight consecutive tests for the DTC to set.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The ECM does not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
The ECM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The ECM records this
information as a Failure Record.
The ECM stores DTC P0719 in ECM history.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The ECM clears the DTC from ECM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a non-emission
related diagnostic fault occurring.
A scan tool can clear the DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
Inspect the brake switch for proper mounting and operation.
Inspect for ABS DTCs. A faulty ABS condition may contribute to setting DTC P0719.

DTC P0030, P0036, P0050, or P0056
Circuit Description
Heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel
control and post catalyst monitoring. Each HO2S
compares the oxygen content of the surrounding air
with the oxygen content in the exhaust stream.
The HO2S must reach operating temperature to
provide an accurate voltage signal. A heating element
inside the HO2S minimizes the time required for
the sensor to reach operating temperature. Voltage is
provided to the heater by the ignition 1 voltage
circuit through a fuse. With the engine running, ground
is provided to the heater by the HO2S heater low
control circuit, through a low side driver within
the engine control module (ECM).
The ECM commands the heater ON or OFF to
maintain a specific HO2S operating temperature range.
The ECM monitors the voltage on the HO2S heater
low control circuit for heater fault diagnosis. If the ECM
detects that the HO2S heater low control circuit
voltage is not within a specified range, DTC P0030
sets for HO2S bank 1 sensor 1, DTC P0036 sets
for HO2S bank 1 sensor 2, DTC P0050 sets for HO2S
bank 2 sensor 1, DTC P0056 sets for HO2S bank 2
sensor 2.

Conditions for Running the DTC
The Ignition 1 Signal parameter is between 11–
18 volts.
The engine speed is more than 425 RPM.
This diagnostic runs continuously once the above
conditions are met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects that the affected HO2S heater low
control circuit is not within a specified range for
25 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
first time the diagnostic fails, the control module
stores this information in the Failure Records.
If the diagnostic reports a failure on the
second consecutive ignition cycle, the control
module records the operating conditions at
the time of the failure. The control module writes
the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame
and updates the Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The control module turns OFF the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition
cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the
diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any
other emission related diagnostic.

DTC P0101
Circuit Description
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor is an air flow meter
that measures the amount of air entering the
engine. The engine control module (ECM) uses the
MAF sensor signal to provide the correct fuel delivery
for all engine speeds and loads. A small quantity
of air entering the engine indicates a deceleration or
idle condition. A large quantity of air entering the
engine indicates an acceleration or high load condition.
The MAF sensor has the following circuits:
An ignition 1 voltage circuit
A ground circuit
A signal circuit
The ECM applies a voltage to the sensor on the signal
circuit. The sensor uses the voltage to produce a
frequency based on the inlet air flow through
the sensor bore. The frequency varies within a range
of near 2,000 Hertz at idle to near 11,500 Hertz at
maximum engine load. The ECM uses the following
sensor inputs to calculate a predicted MAF value:
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) estimated
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
The throttle areas from the engine temperature
control (ETC) and intake air temperature (IAT),
barometric pressure (BARO), and the
estimated MAP
The ECM compares the actual MAF sensor frequency
signal to the predicted MAF value. This comparison
will determine if the signal is stuck too low or too high
for a given operating condition. If the ECM detects
the actual MAF sensor frequency signal is to high of a
delta from the calculated MAF value and a manifold
absolute pressure (MAP) modeled signal is to high of a
delta from measured MAP the DTC P0101 sets.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

P0449, P0455, P0496 and P2135 are not set.
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is
between 70°C (158°F) and 7°C (19.4°F).
The engine RPM is between 555 and 6400.
DTC P0101 runs continuously when the above
conditions are met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects that the actual MAF sensor
frequency signal is not within a predetermined range
of the calculated MAF value for more than 4 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
first time the diagnostic fails, the control module
stores this information in the Failure Records.
If the diagnostic reports a failure on the
second consecutive ignition cycle, the control
module records the operating conditions at
the time of the failure. The control module writes
the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame
and updates the Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The control module turns OFF the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition
cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the
diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any
other emission related diagnostic.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect the harness of the mass air flow (MAF)
sensor to verify that it is not routed too close
to the following components:
The secondary ignition wires or coils
Any solenoids
Any relays
Any motors
A low minimum air rate through the sensor bore at
idle or during deceleration may cause this DTC to
set. Inspect for the following conditions:
Any deposits on the throttle plate or in the
throttle bore
Any vacuum leak downstream of the MAF
sensor
Inspect for any contamination or debris on the
sensing elements of the MAF sensor.
Inspect the air induction system for any water
intrusion. Any water that reaches the MAF sensor
will skew the sensor and may cause this DTC
to set.
A wide open throttle acceleration from a stop
should cause the MAF sensor parameter on
theTech 2 toincreaserapidly.Thisincrease
should be from 5–12 g/s at idle to 200 g/s or more
at the time of the 1–2 shift. If the increase is not
observed, inspect for a restriction in the induction
system or the exhaust system.
Inspect for a skewed or stuck ECT sensor.
EngineControls-6.0LEngine
A high resistance of 15 ohms or more on the
ignition 1 voltage circuit may cause the DTC to set.
A high resistance may cause a driveability
concern before this DTC sets.
The barometric pressure that is used to calculate
the predicted mass air flow value is initially
based on the manifold absolute pressure (MAP)
sensor at key ON. When the engine is running the
BARO value is continually updated near wide
open throttle. A skewed MAP sensor will cause the
calculated mass air flow value to be inaccurate
and may result in a no start condition. The value
shown for the MAP sensor parameter varies
with the altitude. With the ignition ON and
the engine OFF, 101 kPa is the approximate value
near sea level. This value will decrease by
approximately 3 kPa for every 305 meters
(1,000 feet) of altitude.
A high resistance on the low reference circuit of
the MAP sensor may cause this DTC to set.
A short to voltage on the 5-volt reference circuit of
the MAP sensor may cause this DTC to set.
If the condition is intermittent, refer to
Intermittent
Conditions
.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
5. This step will determine if the manifold absolute
pressure (MAP) sensor pressure is within the
proper range for a given altitude.
6. This step will determine if the MAP sensor voltage
is within the proper range at idle.
7. This step will determine if the MAP sensor
responds properly to the change in manifold
pressure.
8. This step will determine if the throttle position (TP)
sensors are operating properly.
9. This step will determine if any mechanical faults
have caused this DTC to set.
10. This voltage drop will determine if high resistance
has caused this DTC to set.

DTC P0103
Circuit Description
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor is an air flow meter
that measures the amount of air entering the
engine. The engine control module (ECM) uses the
MAF sensor signal to provide the correct fuel delivery
for all engine speeds and loads. A small quantity
of air entering the engine indicates a deceleration or
idle condition. A large quantity of air entering the
engine indicates an acceleration or high load condition.
The MAF sensor has the following circuits:
An ignition 1 voltage circuit
A ground circuit
A signal circuit
The ECM applies a voltage to the sensor on the signal
circuit. The sensor uses the voltage to produce a
frequency based on the inlet air flow through
the sensor bore. The frequency varies within a range
of near 2,000 Hertz at idle to near 11,500 Hertz at
maximum engine load. If the ECM detects a frequency
signal more than the possible range of a correctly
operating MAF sensor DTC P0103 sets.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0103 Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Circuit
High Frequency
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine speed is more than 300 RPM.
The ignition 1 signal is more than 7.9 volts.
The above conditions are present for more than
one second.
DTC P0103 runs continuously during the above
conditions.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The engine control module (ECM) detects that the
mass air flow (MAF) sensor frequency signal is more
than 13,500 Hertz for more than 1.8 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
first time the diagnostic fails, the control module
stores this information in the Failure Records. If
the diagnostic reports a failure on the
second consecutive ignition cycle, the control
module records the operating conditions at
the time of the failure. The control module writes
the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame
and updates the Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The control module turns OFF the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition
cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the
diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any
other emission related diagnostic.
CleartheMILandtheDTCwithaTech 2 .
Diagnostic Aids
Inspect the air induction system for any water
intrusion. The water rapidly cools the hot sensing
elements in the sensor causing a false indication
of excessive air flow. Any water that reaches
the mass air flow (MAF) sensor will skew
the sensor and may cause this DTC to set.
A poor connection in the ignition 1 voltage circuit
of the MAF sensor may cause this DTC to set.
If the condition is intermittent, refer to
Intermittent
Conditions
.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
3. This step tests for electromagnetic
interference (EMI) on the signal circuit of the MAF
sensor. A frequency reading with the mass air
flow (MAF) sensor disconnected indicates an EMI
related fault or a poor connection at the ECM.
Disconnecting the MAF sensor may set additional
related DTCs.
4. This step will determine if incorrect harness
routing has caused this DTC to set.
5. This step will determine if water intrusion has
caused this DTC to set.

DTC P0106
Circuit Description
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
responds to pressure changes in the intake manifold.
The pressure changes occur based on the engine
load. The MAP sensor has the following circuits:
A 5-volt reference circuit
A low reference circuit
A MAP sensor signal circuit
The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 volts to
the MAP sensor on the 5-volt reference circuit.
The ECM, also, provides a ground on the low
reference circuit. The MAP sensor provides a signal to
the ECM on the MAP sensor signal circuit which is
relative to the pressure changes in the manifold. The
ECM should detect a low signal voltage at a low
MAP, such as during an idle or a deceleration. The
ECM should detect a high signal voltage at a
high MAP, such as the ignition is ON, with the engine
OFF, or at a wide-open throttle (WOT). The MAP
sensor is also used in order to determine the
barometric pressure (BARO). This occurs when the
ignition switch is turned ON, with the engine OFF. The
BARO reading may also be updated whenever the
engine is operated at WOT. The ECM monitors
the MAP sensor signal for voltage outside of the
normal range.
The ECM calculates a predicted value for the MAP
sensor based on throttle position (TP) and engine
speed. The ECM then compares the predicted value
to the actual MAP sensor signal. If the ECM detects
that the MAP sensor signal is not within the predicted
range, DTC P0106 sets.

order to determine the barometric pressure (BARO).
This occurs when the ignition switch is turned ON, with
the engine OFF. The BARO reading may also be
updated whenever the engine is operated at WOT. The
ECM monitors the MAP sensor signal for voltage
outside of the normal range.
If the ECM detects a MAP sensor signal voltage that

DTC P0108
Circuit Description
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
responds to pressure changes in the intake manifold.
The pressure changes occur based on the engine
load. The MAP sensor has the following circuits:
5-volt reference circuit
Low reference circuit
MAP sensor signal circuit
The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 volts to
the MAP sensor on the 5-volt reference circuit.
The ECM also provides a ground on the low reference
circuit. The MAP sensor provides a signal to the
ECM on the MAP sensor signal circuit which is relative
to the pressure changes in the manifold. The ECM
should detect a low signal voltage at a low MAP, such
as during an idle or a deceleration. The ECM should
detect a high signal voltage at a high MAP, such as the
ignition is ON, with the engine OFF, or at a wide
open throttle (WOT). The MAP sensor is also used in
order to determine the barometric pressure (BARO).
This occurs when the ignition switch is turned ON, with
the engine OFF. The BARO reading may also be
updated whenever the engine is operated at WOT. The
ECM monitors the MAP sensor signal for voltage
outside of the normal range.
If the ECM detects a MAP sensor signal voltage that
is excessively high, DTC P0108 sets.

The engine has been running for a length of time
that is determined by the start-up coolant
temperature. The length of time ranges from
4 minutes at less than 6°C (21°F) to 30 seconds
at more than 30°C (86°F).
The throttle angle is less than 1 percent when the
engine speed is less than 1,200 RPM.
or
The throttle angle is less than 20 percent when
the engine speed is more than 1,200 RPM.
The above conditions are present for 3 seconds.
DTC P0108 runs continously when the above
conditions are met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The engine control module (ECM) detects that the
manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor voltage is
more than 4.9 volts for more than 3.2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
first time the diagnostic fails, the control module
stores this information in the Failure Records.
If the diagnostic reports a failure on the
second consecutive ignition cycle, the control
module records the operating conditions at
the time of the failure. The control module writes
the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame
and updates the Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The control module turns OFF the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition
cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the
diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any
other emission related diagnostic.

Circuit Description
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is a variable
resistor. The IAT sensor has a signal circuit and a low
reference circuit. The IAT sensor measures the
temperature of the air entering the engine. The engine
control module (ECM) supplies 5 volts to the IAT
signal circuit and a ground for the IAT low reference
circuit. When the IAT sensor is cold, the sensor
resistance is high. When the air temperature increases,
the sensor resistance decreases. With high sensor
resistance, the ECM detects a high voltage on the IAT
signal circuit. With lower sensor resistance, the
ECM detects a lower voltage on the IAT signal circuit.
If the ECM detects an excessively low IAT signal
voltage, indicating a high temperature,
DTC P0112 sets.

DTC P0117
Circuit Description
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a
variable resistor, that measures the temperature of the
engine coolant. The engine control module (ECM)
supplies 5 volts to the ECT signal circuit and a ground
for the ECT low reference circuit. When the ECT is
cold, the sensor resistance is high. When the
ECT increases, the sensor resistance decreases. With
high sensor resistance, the ECM detects a high
voltage on the ECT signal circuit. With lower sensor
resistance, the ECM detects a lower voltage on
the ECT signal circuit. If the ECM detects an
excessively low ECT signal voltage, which is a high
temperature indication, DTC P0117 sets.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0117 Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
Sensor Circuit Low Voltage
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine run time is more than 60 seconds.
OR
The engine run time is less than 60 seconds
when IAT is less than 0°C (32°F).
DTC P0117 runs continuously when the above
condition is met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECT sensor temperature is more than 150°C
(302°F) for more than 45 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
first time the diagnostic fails, the control module
stores this information in the Failure Records.
If the diagnostic reports a failure on the
second consecutive ignition cycle, the control
module records the operating conditions at
the time of the failure. The control module writes
the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame
and updates the Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The control module turns OFF the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition
cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the
diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any
other emission related diagnostic.
CleartheMILandtheDTCwithaTech 2 .
Diagnostic Aids
An overheating condition may cause this DTC
to set.
After starting the engine, the ECT should rise
steadily to about 90°C (194°F) then stabilize when
the thermostat opens.
Use the Temperature vs. Resistance table to test
the ECT sensor at various temperature levels to
evaluate the possibility of a skewed sensor. A
skewed sensor could result in poor driveability
concerns. Refer to
Temperature vs Resistance
.

conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
first time the diagnostic fails, the control module
stores this information in the Failure Records.
If the diagnostic reports a failure on the
second consecutive ignition cycle, the control
module records the operating conditions at
the time of the failure. The control module writes
the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame
and updates the Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The control module turns OFF the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition
cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the
diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any
other emission related diagnostic.

Diagnostic Aids
Use the
J 35616-B
Connector Test Adapter Kit for
any test that requires probing the ECM harness
connector or a component harness connector.
If there is a condition with the TP sensors, the
ECM defaults to reduced power mode for the
entire ignition cycle, even if the condition is
corrected.
For an intermittent condition, refer to
Intermittent
Conditions
.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. This step verifies that a condition exists. If there is
aconditionwithaTPsensorcircuit,theTech 2
will display Disagree.
5. This step tests for high resistance in the 5-volt
reference circuit of the TP sensors. If the
DMM does not display more than the specified
voltage, there is high resistance in the circuit.
8. This step tests for high resistance in the low
reference circuit of the TP sensor. The ECM must
be completely powered down to obtain an
accurate resistance reading. It may take up to
30 minutes for the ECM to power down after the
ignition key is removed. Removal of the ECM fuse
allows the ECM to power down completely.

DTC P0122
Circuit Description
The throttle body assembly contains 2 throttle
position (TP) sensors. The TP sensors are mounted to
the throttle body assembly and are not serviceable.
The TP sensors provide a signal voltage that changes
relative to throttle blade angle. The engine control
module (ECM) supplies the TP sensors with a common
5-volt reference circuit, a common low reference
circuit, and 2 independent signal circuits.
The TP sensors have opposite functionality. TP
sensor 1 signal voltage decreases from above 4 volts
at idle to below 1 volt at wide open throttle (WOT).
TP sensor 2 signal voltage increases from below 1 volt
at idle to above 4 volts at WOT.
If the ECM detects TP sensor 1 signal voltage is too
low, this DTC sets.

DTC P0128
Circuit Description
An engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor monitors
the temperature of the coolant. This input is used
by the engine control module (ECM) for engine control,
and as an enabling criteria for some diagnostics.
The air flow coming into the engine is accumulated
and used to determine if the vehicle has been driven
within the conditions that would allow the engine
coolant to heat up normally to the thermostat
regulating temperature. If the coolant temperature
does not increase normally or does not reach
the regulating temperature of the thermostat,
diagnostics that use ECT as enabling criteria, may not
run when expected. This DTC will only run once
per ignition cycle within the enabling conditions.
If the ECM detects the calibrated amount of air flow
and engine run time have been met and the ECT has
not met the minimum thermostat regulating
temperature, DTC P0128 sets.
DTC Descriptor

The vehicle speed is more than 8 km/h (5 mph)
for more than 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles).
The mass air flow (MAF) is between 12–50 g/s
with the average more than 5 g/s.
The above conditions are met for a time based on
airflow.
DTC P0128 runs once per trip.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The minimum engine coolant temperature of 75°C

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
first time the diagnostic fails, the control module
stores this information in the Failure Records.
If the diagnostic reports a failure on the

DTC P0131 or P0151
Circuit Description
Heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel
control and post catalyst monitoring. Each HO2S
compares the oxygen content of the surrounding air
with the oxygen content in the exhaust stream.
The HO2S must reach operating temperature to
provide an accurate voltage signal. Heating elements
inside the HO2S minimize the time required for the
sensors to reach operating temperature. The engine
control module (ECM) supplies the HO2S with a
reference, or bias, voltage of about 450 mV. When the
engine is first started the ECM operates in Open
Loop, ignoring the HO2S voltage signal. Once
the HO2S reaches operating temperature and Closed
Loop is achieved, the HO2S generates a voltage
within a range of 0–1,000 mV that fluctuates above
and below bias voltage. High HO2S voltage indicates
a rich exhaust stream. Low HO2S voltage indicates
a lean exhaust stream. If the ECM detects an
HO2S voltage that stays below a specified value,
DTC P0131 sets for HO2S bank 1 sensor 1, or
DTC P0151 sets for HO2S bank 2 sensor 1.

The HO2S must reach operating temperature to
provide an accurate voltage signal. Heating elements
inside the HO2S minimize the time required for the
sensors to reach operating temperature. The engine
control module (ECM) supplies the HO2S with a
reference, or bias, voltage of about 450 mV. When the
engine is first started the ECM operates in Open
Loop, ignoring the HO2S voltage signal. Once
the HO2S reaches operating temperature and Closed
Loop is achieved, the HO2S generates a voltage
within a range of 0–1,000 mV that fluctuates above
and below bias voltage. High HO2S voltage indicates
a rich exhaust stream. Low HO2S voltage indicates
a lean exhaust stream. This diagnostic will only
run once per ignition cycle. The ECM monitors the
rich-to-lean and lean-to-rich transition time. A transition
is defined as, the HO2S voltage changes from
above 625 mV to below 250 mV or from below 250 mV
to above 625 mV. If the ECM detects that the
transition time is too long, DTC P0133 sets for HO2S
bank 1 sensor 1, or DTC P0153 sets for HO2S
bank 2 sensor 1.

DTC P0135, P0141, P0155, or P0161
Circuit Description
The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) must reach
operating temperature to provide an accurate voltage
signal. A heating element inside the HO2S minimizes
the time required for the sensor to reach operating
temperature. Voltage is provided to the heater by the
ignition 1 voltage circuit through a fuse. With the
engine running, ground is provided to the heater by
the HO2S heater low control circuit, through a low side
driver within the engine control module (ECM). The
ECM commands the heater ON or OFF to maintain a
specific HO2S operating temperature range. The
ECM determines the temperature by measuring the
current flow through the heater. When the heater is in
the ON state, the ECM will pulse the heater OFF
for a duration of 50 ms, once per second. When the
heater is in the OFF state, the ECM will pulse the
heater ON for a duration of 50 milliseconds, once per
second. The ECM monitors the heater current with
the engine running. The ECM also calculates the
heater resistance on a cold start. Both diagnostics will
only run once per ignition cycle. If the ECM detects
that the heater current or the heater calculated
resistance is not within the expected range, the
following DTCs will set:
DTC P0135 for HO2S bank 1 sensor 1
DTC P0141 for HO2S bank 1 sensor 2

DTC P0136 or P0156
Circuit Description
Heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel
control and post catalyst monitoring. Each HO2S
compares the oxygen content of the surrounding air
with the oxygen content in the exhaust stream.
The HO2S must reach operating temperature to
provide an accurate voltage signal. Heating elements
inside the HO2S minimize the time required for the
sensors to reach operating temperature. The engine
control module (ECM) supplies the HO2S with a
reference, or bias, voltage of about 450 mV. When the
engine is first started the ECM operates in open
loop, ignoring the HO2S voltage signal. Once the
HO2S reaches operating temperature and closed loop
is achieved, the HO2S generates a voltage within a
range of 0–1,000 mV that fluctuates above and below
bias voltage. High HO2S voltage indicates a rich
exhaust stream; low HO2S voltage indicates a lean
exhaust stream.
The HO2S bank 1 sensor 2 and HO2S bank 2
sensor 2 are used for catalyst monitoring. This
diagnostic runs once per ignition cycle. This diagnostic
consists of two tests, a passive test and an intrusive
test. During the passive test, if the HO2S bank 1
sensor 2 or HO2S bank 2 sensor 2 voltage transitions
below 349 mV and above 710 mV, the DTC will
pass for this ignition cycle. If the DTC does not pass
during the passive test, the intrusive test will begin.
During the intrusive test, the control module will force
the air-to-fuel ratio rich and/or lean. The control
module then waits for a predicted response from the
HO2S. If the HO2S voltage transitions below
349 mV and/or above 710 mV, the DTC will pass for
this ignition cycle. If the control module does not
receive the expected response from the HO2S,
DTC P0136 will set for HO2S bank 1 sensor 2 or
DTC P0156 will set for HO2S bank 2 sensor 2.

or HO2S bank 2 sensor 2 did not transition below
349 mV and above 710 mV during the
passive test.
2. One of the following tests fail:
Lean Intrusive Test
The ECM detects that the HO2S bank 1
sensor 2 or HO2S bank 2 sensor 2 is
more than 349 mV for 60 seconds.
The HO2S bank 1 sensor 1 and HO2S
bank 2 sensor 1 is less than 300 mV.
OR
Rich Intrusive Test
The ECM detects that the HO2S bank 1
sensor 2 or HO2S bank 2 sensor 2 is
less than 710 mV for 60 seconds.
The HO2S bank 1 sensor 1 and HO2S
bank 2 sensor 1 is more than 600 mV.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
first time the diagnostic fails, the control module
stores this information in the Failure Records.
If the diagnostic reports a failure on the
second consecutive ignition cycle, the control
module records the operating conditions at
the time of the failure. The control module writes
the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame
and updates the Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The control module turns OFF the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition
cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.

DTC P0138 or P0158
Circuit Description
Heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel
control and post catalyst monitoring. Each HO2S
compares the oxygen content of the surrounding air
with the oxygen content in the exhaust stream.
The HO2S must reach operating temperature to
provide an accurate voltage signal. Heating elements
inside the HO2S minimize the time required for the
sensors to reach operating temperature. The engine
control module (ECM) supplies the HO2S with a
reference, or bias, voltage of about 450 mV. When the
engine is first started the ECM operates in Open
Loop, ignoring the HO2S voltage signal. Once
the HO2S reaches operating temperature and Closed
Loop is achieved, the HO2S generates a voltage
within a range of 0–1,000 mV that fluctuates above
and below bias voltage. High HO2S voltage indicates
a rich exhaust stream. Low HO2S voltage indicates
a lean exhaust stream. If the ECM detects an
HO2S voltage that stays above a specified value,
DTC P0138 sets for HO2S bank 1 sensor 2, or
DTC P0158 sets for HO2S bank 2 sensor 2.

The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
first time the diagnostic fails, the control module
stores this information in the Failure Records.
If the diagnostic reports a failure on the
second consecutive ignition cycle, the control
module records the operating conditions at
the time of the failure. The control module writes
the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame
and updates the Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The control module turns OFF the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition
cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the
diagnostic runs and passes.

DTC P0171 or P0174
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) controls the
air/fuel metering system in order to provide the best
possible combination of driveability, fuel economy, and
emission control. Fuel delivery is controlled differently
during Open and Closed Loop. During Open Loop,
the PCM determines fuel delivery based on sensor
signals without oxygen sensor input. During Closed
Loop, the PCM adds oxygen sensor inputs and level of
purge to calculate short and long term fuel trim
adjustments. If the oxygen sensors indicate a lean
condition, fuel trim values will be above 0 percent. If
the oxygen sensors indicate a rich condition, fuel
trim values will be below 0 percent. The values for the
short term fuel trim change rapidly in response to
the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) voltage signals.
Long term fuel trim makes course adjustments in order
to maintain an air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1. A block of
cells contain information arranged in combinations of
engine RPM and engine load for a full range of
vehicle operating conditions. The long term fuel trim
diagnostic is based on an average of cells currently
being used. The PCM selects the cells based on the
engine speed and engine load. If the PCM detects
an excessively lean condition, DTC P0171 or
P0174 sets.

DTC P0172 or P0175
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) controls the
air/fuel metering system in order to provide the best
possible combination of driveability, fuel economy, and
emission control. Fuel delivery is controlled differently
during Open and Closed Loop. During Open Loop,
the PCM determines fuel delivery based on sensor
signals without oxygen sensor input. During Closed
Loop, the PCM adds oxygen sensor inputs and level of
purge to calculate short and long term fuel trim
adjustments. If the oxygen sensors indicated a lean
condition, fuel trim values will be above 0 percent.
If the oxygen sensors indicate a rich condition, fuel trim
values will be below 0 percent. The values for the
short term fuel trim change rapidly in response to the
heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) voltage signals.
Long term fuel trim makes coarse adjustments in
order to maintain an air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1. A block of
cells contain information arranged in combinations
of engine RPM and engine load for a fuel range
of vehicle operating conditions. The long term fuel trim
diagnostic is based on an average of cells currently
being used. The PCM selects the cells based on
the engine speed and engine load. The fuel trim
diagnostic will conduct a test to determine if a rich
failure actually exists, or if excessive vapor from the
evaporative emission (EVAP) canister is causing a rich
condition. If the PCM detects an excessively rich
condition, DTC P0172 or P0175 sets.

DTC P0223
Circuit Description
The throttle body assembly contains 2 throttle
position (TP) sensors. The TP sensors are mounted to
the throttle body assembly and are not serviceable.
The TP sensors provide a signal voltage that changes
relative to throttle blade angle. The engine control
module (ECM) supplies the TP sensors with a common
5-volt reference circuit, a common low reference
circuit, and 2 independent signal circuits.
The TP sensors have opposite functionality. TP
sensor 1 signal voltage decreases from above 4 volts
at idle to below 1 volt at wide open throttle (WOT).
TP sensor 2 signal voltage increases from below 1 volt
at idle to above 4 volts at WOT.
If the ECM detects TP sensor 2 signal voltage is too
high, this DTC will set.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0223 Throttle Position (TP) Sensor 2 Circuit
High Voltage
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON, with the engine OFF, or the
engine is operating.
The ignition 1 voltage is more than 5.23 volts.
DTC P0223 runs continuously once the above
conditions are met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects the TP sensor 2 signal voltage is
more than 4.725 volts for less than 1 second.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs
and fails.
The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
control module stores this information in the
Freeze Frame and/or the Failure Records.
The control module commands the TAC system to
operate in the Reduced Engine Power mode.
A message center or an indicator displays
Reduced Engine Power.
Under certain conditions the control module
commands the engine OFF.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The control module turns OFF the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition
cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the
diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any
other emission related diagnostic.
CleartheMILandtheDTCwithaTech 2 .
Diagnostic Aids
Use the
J 35616-B
Connector Test Adapter Kit for
any test that requires probing the ECM harness
connector or a component harness connector.
If there is a condition with the TP sensors, the
ECM defaults to reduced power mode for the
entire ignition cycle, even if the condition is
corrected.
For an intermittent condition, refer to
Intermittent
Conditions
.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. This step determines if a condition exists.
4. This step tests the signal circuit for a short to
voltage.IftheTech 2 displaysavoltageafterthe
TP sensor is disconnected, the circuit is shorted
to a voltage.
6. This step tests for high resistance in the low
reference circuit of the TP sensor. The ECM must
be completely powered down to obtain an
accurate resistance reading. It may take up to
30 minutes for the ECM to power down after the
ignition key is removed. Removal of the ECM/TCM
fuse allows the ECM to power down completely.

DTC P0230
Circuit Description
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the control
module enables the fuel pump relay, which supplies
current to the fuel pump. The fuel pump remains
enabled as long as the engine is cranking or running
and the control module receives ignition reference
pulses. If there are no ignition reference pulses,
the control module shuts the fuel pump OFF
approximately 2 seconds after the ignition was
switched to the ON position or if the engine stops. The
control module monitors the voltage on the fuel
pump relay control circuit. If the control module detects
an incorrect voltage on the fuel pump relay control
circuit, a fuel pump relay control DTC sets.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0230 Fuel Pump Relay Control Circuit
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine speed is more than 400 RPM.
The ignition voltage is between 6–18 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The engine control module (ECM) detects that the
commanded state of the driver and the actual
state of the control circuit do not match.
The above conditions are present for a minimum
of 2.5 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
first time the diagnostic fails, the control module
stores this information in the Failure Records. If
the diagnostic reports a failure on the
second consecutive ignition cycle, the control
module records the operating conditions at
the time of the failure. The control module writes
the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame
and updates the Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The control module turns OFF the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition
cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the
diagnostic runs and passes.

DTC P0300
System Description
The engine control module (ECM) uses information
from the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor and
the camshaft position (CMP) sensor to determine
when an engine misfire is occurring. By monitoring
variations in the crankshaft rotation speed for
each cylinder, the ECM is able to detect individual
misfire events. A misfire rate that is high enough can
cause the 3-way catalytic converter (TWC) to
overheat under certain driving conditions. The
malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will flash ON and
OFF when the conditions for TWC overheating
are present. If the ECM detects a misfire rate sufficient
to cause emission levels to exceed mandated
standards, DTC P0300 will set.

DTC P0315
Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) system variation learn
feature is used to calculate reference period errors
caused by slight tolerance variations in the crankshaft,
and the CKP sensor. The calculated error allows
the engine control module (ECM) to accurately
compensate for reference period variations. This
enhances the ability of the ECM to detect misfire
events over a wide range of engine speed and load.
The ECM stores the Crankshaft Position System
Variation values after a learn procedure has been
performed. If the actual crankshaft position variation is
not within the Crankshaft Position System Variation
compensating values stored in the ECM, DTC P0300
may set. If the CKP system variation values are
not stored in the ECM memory, DTC P0315 sets.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0315 Crankshaft Position (CKP) System

Conditions for Running the DTC
DTCs P0335, P0336, or P0341, are not set.
DTC P0315 runs every 100 milliseconds.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The CKP system variation values are not stored in
the ECM memory.
The enable counter equals 0.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs
and fails.
The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
control module stores this information in the

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the
diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any
other emission related diagnostic.

DTC P0325
Circuit Description
The knock sensor (KS) system enables the engine
control module (ECM) to control the ignition timing for
the best possible performance while protecting the
engine from potentially damaging levels of detonation.
The ECM monitors two separate KS, one on each
side of the engine block. Each KS produces an
AC voltage signal that varies with different engine
speeds and loads. The ECM adjusts the spark timing
based on the amplitude and the frequency of the
KS signal. The ECM receives the KS signal through a
signal circuit. The KS ground is supplied by the
ECM through a low reference circuit. The ECM uses
the KS signal to calculate the average voltage,
then assign a voltage range value. The ECM will then
monitor for a normal KS signal within the assigned
voltage range. If the ECM malfunctions in a condition
that will not allow proper diagnosis of the KS
system, DTC P0325 will set.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0325 Knock Sensor (KS) Circuit
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine run time is more than 10 seconds.
The engine speed is greater than 500 RPM.
DTC P0325 runs continuously when the above
conditions are met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects a malfunction in the KS diagnostic
circuitry that will not allow proper diagnosis of the
KS system for 100 milliseconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
first time the diagnostic fails, the control module
stores this information in the Failure Records.
If the diagnostic reports a failure on the
second consecutive ignition cycle, the control
module records the operating conditions at
the time of failure. The control module writes the
operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and
updates the Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The control module turns OFF the MIL after
3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic
runs and does not fail.
A current DTC last test failed clears when the
diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles if no failures are reported by this or any
other emission related diagnostic.

DTC P0326
Circuit Description
The knock sensor (KS) system enables the engine
control module (ECM) to control the ignition timing for
the best possible performance while protecting the
engine from potentially damaging levels of detonation.
The KS produces an A/C signal that varies with
different engine speeds and loads. The ECM makes
adjustments to the spark timing based on the
amplitude and frequency of either KS signal. The ECM
receives the KS signal through a signal circuit. The
ECM supplies the KS ground through a low reference
circuit. The ECM uses the KS to calculate the
amount of normal engine noise for a wide range of
engine speeds and loads. The normal engine
noise that has been calculated and retained in the
ECM memory is called the learned noise channel. The
ECM compares the actual KS signal to the learned
noise channel in memory. When the ECM determines
that the KS signal is outside the limits of the learned
noise channel, the ECM will retard the spark
timing until the knock goes away. If the knock is such
that the engine requires a large amount of spark
retard and the ECM is unable to eliminate the knock,
this DTC will set. DTC P0326 refers to either the
bank 1 KS or the bank 2 KS.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0326 Knock Sensor (KS) Performance
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine speed is more than 500 RPM.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
first time the diagnostic fails, the control module
stores this information in the Failure Records.
If the diagnostic reports a failure on the
second consecutive ignition cycle, the control
module records the operating conditions at
the time of failure. The control module writes the
operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and
updates the Failure Records.

DTC P0340
Circuit Description
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor works in
conjunction with the 1X reluctor trigger wheel on the
front of the camshaft gear. The engine control
module (ECM) provides a 12-volt reference to the
CMP sensor, as well as a low reference and a signal
circuit. As the camshaft gear rotates, the reluctor
trigger wheel interrupts a magnetic field produced by a
magnet within the sensor. The CMP sensor internal
circuitry detects this interruption of the magnetic
field and produces a signal, which the ECM reads.
The 1X signal produced by the CMP sensor is used by
the ECM to determine if the cylinder at the top dead
center (TDC) is on the firing stroke or the exhaust
stroke. The ECM can determine TDC for all cylinders
by using the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor
24X signal. If the 1X signal is not received by the
ECM, a slightly longer cranking time may be
experienced. The ECM will attempt synchronization
and looks for an increase in engine speed, indicating
that the engine is running. If the ECM does not
detect an increase in engine speed, the ECM assumes
that it incorrectly synchronized to the exhaust stroke,
and then will synchronize to the opposite cam
position. If the ECM detects that there is no output
signal from the CMP sensor, DTC P0340 will set.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0340 Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor Circuit
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is cranking, or the engine is running.
DTC P0340 runs continuously when the above
condition is met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects no CMP sensor output for more
than 3 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs

DTC P0351-P0358
Circuit Description
The ignition system on this engine uses an individual
ignition coil for each cylinder. The engine control
module (ECM) controls the spark event for each
cylinder through 8 individual ignition control (IC)
circuits. When the ECM commands the IC circuit ON,
electrical current will flow through the primary
winding of the ignition coil, creating a magnetic field.
When a spark event is requested, the ECM will
command the IC circuit OFF, interrupting current flow
through the primary winding. The magnetic field
created by the primary winding will collapse across the
secondary coil winding, producing a high voltage
across the spark plug electrodes. The ECM uses
information from the crankshaft position (CKP) and the
camshaft position (CMP) sensor for sequencing and
timing of the spark events. Each ignition coil/module
has the following circuits:
An ignition 1 voltage circuit
A ground circuit
An IC circuit
A low reference circuit
If the ECM detects that the IC circuit has an incorrect
voltage level, DTC P0351–P0358 will set.

The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
first time the diagnostic fails, the control module
stores this information in the Failure Records.
If the diagnostic reports a failure on the
second consecutive ignition cycle, the control
module records the operating conditions at
the time of the failure. The control module writes
the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame

DTC P0420 or P0430
Circuit Description
The three-way catalytic converter (TWC) reduces
emissions of hydrocarbons (HC), carbon
monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). The
catalyst within the converter promotes a chemical
reaction, which oxidizes the HC and CO that
are present in the exhaust gas. This process converts
these chemicals into water vapor and carbon dioxide
(CO2), and will reduce the NOx, by converting
them into nitrogen. The catalytic converter also stores
oxygen. The engine control module (ECM) monitors
this process using heated oxygen sensor (HO2S)
bank 1 sensor 2 and HO2S bank 2 sensor 2, located
in the exhaust stream after the TWC. These
sensors are referred to as the catalyst monitor
sensors. The catalyst monitor sensors produce an
output signal the ECM uses to indicate the oxygen
storage capacity of the catalyst. This determines the
catalysts ability to effectively convert the exhaust
emissions.
If the catalyst is functioning correctly, the HO2S
bank 1 sensor 2 and HO2S bank 2 sensor 2 signals
will be far less active than the signals that are
produced by HO2S bank 1 sensor 1 and HO2S
bank 2 sensor 1. This indicates that the TWC oxygen
storage capacity is at an acceptable threshold.
When the response time of the catalyst monitor
sensors are close to that of the fuel control sensors,
the ability of the catalyst to store oxygen may be below
an acceptable threshold.
The ECM performs this diagnostic test at idle. When
the conditions for running this DTC are met, the
following occurs:
The air-to-fuel ratio transitions from lean to rich.
The air-to-fuel ratio transitions from rich to
lean, opposite the first air-to-fuel ratio transition.
The ECM captures the response time of the front
and the rear HO2S when the air-to-fuel ratio
transitions occur. The HO2S response time
changes from less than 350 mV to more than
600 mV, and from more than 600 mV to less than
350 mV.
The ECM measures the time necessary for the
rear HO2S voltage to cross a reference
lean-to-rich threshold, and the time necessary for
the front HO2S voltage to cross the same
lean-to-rich threshold. The difference between the
front HO2S time and the rear HO2S time
indicates the oxygen storage capacity of the
catalyst. If the ECM detects that this time
difference is less than a predetermined value,
DTC P0420 for bank 1 or DTC P0430 for
bank 2 sets.

Diagnostic Aids
The catalyst test may abort due to a change in
the engine load. Do not change the engine
load, ensure the AC is OFF, the coolant fan is not
cycling, while a catalyst test is in progress.
Driving the vehicle under the conditions outlined in
the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) section can
verify whether the fault is present.
These conditions may cause a catalytic converter
to degrade. Inspect for the following conditions:
An engine misfire
High engine oil or high coolant consumption
Retarded spark timing
A weak or poor spark
A lean fuel mixture
A rich fuel mixture
A damaged oxygen sensor or wiring harness
If an intermittent condition cannot be
duplicated, the information included in Freeze
Frame data can be useful in determining
the vehicle operating conditions when
the DTC was set.
The catalyst may have been temporarily
contaminated with a chemical from a fuel additive,
fuel contamination, or any of the above conditions.
If the condition is determined to be intermittent, refer
to
Intermittent Conditions
.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
5. A catalytic converter which has been discolored
may be due to an engine running rich, lean, or
had a previous misfire. Verifying the fuel trim
percentages may be of assistance in determining
if such a condition exists.

DTC P0442
System Description
This diagnostic tests the Evaporative Emission (EVAP)
System for a small leak when the key is turned OFF
and the correct conditions are met.
Heat is transferred into a vehicle fuel tank while the
vehicle is operating. When the vehicle is turned OFF, a
change in the fuel tank vapor temperature occurs,
which results in corresponding pressure changes in the
fuel tank vapor space. This change is monitored by
the control module using the fuel tank pressure sensor
input. The control module then makes a judgement
on the integrity of the system. With a 0.51 mm (0.02 in)
leak in the system, the amount of pressure change
observed is significantly less than that of a sealed
system.
If the control module detects a pressure change less
than a calibrated amount, DTC P0442 sets.

Diagnostic Aids
To help locate intermittent leaks, use the
J 41413-200
evaporative emissions system
tester (EEST) to introduce smoke into the EVAP
system. Move all EVAP components while
observing smoke with the
J 41413-SPT
High
Intensity White Light.
A condition may exist where a leak in the EVAP
system only exists under a vacuum condition.
ByusingtheTech 2 PURGE/SEALfunctionto
create a vacuum, seal the system, and observe
the fuel tank pressure (FTP) parameter for vacuum
decay, this type of leak may be detected.
To improve the visibility of the smoke exiting the
EVAP system, observe the suspected leak area
from different angles with the
J 41413-SPT
.
For intermittent conditions, refer to
Intermittent
Conditions
.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
3. Introducing smoke in 15 second intervals may
allow smaller leak areas to be more noticeable.
When the system is less pressurized, the smoke
will sometimes escape in a more condensed
manner.
5. This step verifies that repairs are complete and
that no other condition is present.

DTC P0446
System Description
This DTC tests the Evaporative Emission (EVAP)
System for a restricted or blocked EVAP canister vent
path. The control module commands the EVAP
canister purge solenoid valve Open and the EVAP
canister vent solenoid valve Closed. This allows
vacuum to be applied to the EVAP system. Once a
calibrated vacuum level has been reached, the control
module commands the EVAP canister purge solenoid
valve Closed and the EVAP canister vent solenoid
valve Open. The control module monitors the fuel tank
pressure (FTP) sensor for a decrease in vacuum. If
the vacuum does not decrease to near 0 inches H2O
in a calibrated time, this DTC sets.
The following table illustrates the relationship between
the ON and OFF states, and the Open or Closed
states of the EVAP canister purge and vent solenoid
valves.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
The FTP sensor is less than 12 inches H2O.
The condition is present for more than 5 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
first time the diagnostic fails, the control module
stores this information in the Failure Records.
If the diagnostic reports a failure on the
second consecutive ignition cycle, the control
module records the operating conditions at
the time of the failure. The control module writes
the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame
and updates the Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The control module turns OFF the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition
cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the
diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any
other emission related diagnostic.

Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent condition could be caused by a
damaged EVAP vent housing, a temporary
blockage at the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve
inlet, or a pinched vent hose. A blockage in the
Vent System will also cause a poor fuel fill
problem.
For intermittent conditions, refer to

DTC P0451
System Description
The fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor measures air
pressure or vacuum in the evaporative
emission (EVAP) system. The control module supplies
a 5-volt reference and a low reference circuit to the
FTP sensor. The FTP sensor signal voltage varies,
depending on EVAP system pressure or vacuum. The
controller uses this FTP signal to determine
atmospheric pressure for use in the engine-off small
leak test, P0442. Before using this signal as an
atmospheric reference, it must first be re-zeroed. If the
FTP signal is out of range during the re-zero
procedure, this DTC will set.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0451 Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) Sensor
Performance
Conditions for Running the DTC
DTC P0451 runs only when the engine-off natural
vacuum small leak test, P0442, executes.
The number of times this test runs can range from
0–2 per engine-off period. The length of the test
can be up to 40 minutes.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
This DTC will set if the controller is unable to re-zero
the FTP sensor voltage within a calibrated range
during the engine-off small leak test, P0442.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs
and fails.
The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
control module stores this information in the
Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The control module turns OFF the MIL after
3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic
runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the
diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles if no failures are reported by this or any
other emission related diagnostic.
CleartheMILandDTCwithaTech 2 .
Diagnostic Aids
A restriction in the EVAP canister or vent lines
could prevent fuel vapor pressure from bleeding
off fast enough. If the vent system cannot bleed off
pressure fast enough, this code can set. When
pressure is applied to the system and released, a
properly operating system will return to the
atmosphericpressurerapidly.ByusingaTech 2
tool and the
J 41413-200
Evaporative Emission
System Tester (EEST), pressure can be applied to
the system, then released, while monitoring the
FTP sensor parameter to see that pressure can be
released quickly, within 30 seconds.
An FTP sensor that is skewed or does not have a
linear transition from low to high may cause this
codetoset.ATech 2 outputcontrols,snapshot,
and plot functions can help detect erratic sensor
response. To test the sensor signal under vacuum
conditions, use the Quick Snapshot and the
Purge/Seal functions to capture data while
commanding purge to 20 percent, then plot the
data to look for erratic sensor operation. A similar
test can be done for the pressure side of the
sensor operation by applying pressure with the
J 41413-200
while taking a snapshot.
A full fuel tank may cause misdiagnosis.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
4. This step tests for the signal voltage that
represents atmospheric pressure. Removing the
fuel fill cap ensures a vented EVAP system.
Record the value for possible use later in
the diagnostic table.
7. This step tests the accuracy of the FTP sensor by
comparing the electrical signal value to the EEST
mechanical gage value.
8. A restricted EVAP system will not allow the
nitrogen to flow freely through the system.
A restriction will cause the FTP signal voltage
parameter to decrease as the pressure builds.

Circuit Description
The fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor measures the
difference between the air pressure or vacuum in the
evaporative emission (EVAP) system, and the
outside air pressure. The control module supplies a

System Description
The fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor measures air
pressure or vacuum in the evaporative
emission (EVAP) system. The control module supplies
a 5-volt reference and a low reference circuit to the
FTP sensor. The FTP sensor signal voltage varies
depending on EVAP system pressure or vacuum. The
controller uses this FTP signal to determine
atmospheric pressure for use in the engine OFF small
leak test, DTC P0442. This DTC will set if the
control module detects an intermittent signal from the
FTP that would prevent the engine-off small leak
test, DTC P0442, from running.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0454 Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) Sensor
Circuit Intermittent
Conditions for Running the DTC
DTC P0454 runs only when the engine-off natural
vacuum small leak test, DTC P0442, executes.
This test can run once per engine-off period. The
length of the test can be up to 40 minutes.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
If, during the engine-off natural vacuum small leak
test, DTC P0442, the powertrain control module (PCM)
detects an abrupt FTP signal change, other than a
refueling event, this DTC will set.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs
and fails.
The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
control module stores this information in the
Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The control module turns OFF the MIL after
3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic
runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the
diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles if no failures are reported by this or any
other emission related diagnostic.

Diagnostic Aids
Tech 2 outputcontrols,snapshot,andplotfunctions
can help detect erratic sensor response. To look at
the sensor signal under vacuum conditions, use
snapshot and the purge/seal function to capture data
while commanding purge to 20 percent, then plot
the data to look for non-linear sensor operation.
A similar inspection can be done for the pressure side
of the sensor range by applying pressure with the
J 41413-200
Evaporative Emissions System
Tester (EEST) while taking a snapshot. DO NOT
exceed 5 inches H2O when applying pressure.
Test Description
The number below refers to the step number on the
diagnostic table.
3. Sealing the system will allow normal pressure in
the EVAP system to preload the sensor. This
will help put the sensor in a range that is more
sensitive, making the test more accurate.

DTC P0455
System Description
The control module tests the Evaporative
Emission (EVAP) System for a large leak. The control
module monitors the fuel tank pressure (FTP)
sensor signal to determine the EVAP system vacuum
level. When the conditions for running are met, the
control module commands the EVAP canister
purge solenoid valve OPEN and the EVAP canister
vent solenoid valve CLOSED. This allows engine
vacuum to enter the EVAP system. At a calibrated
time, or vacuum level, the control module commands
the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve closed,
sealing the system, and monitors the FTP sensor input
in order to determine the EVAP system vacuum
level. If the system is unable to achieve the calibrated
vacuum level, or the vacuum level decreases too
rapidly, this DTC sets.
The following table illustrates the relationship between
the ON and OFF states, and the OPEN or CLOSED
states of the EVAP canister purge and vent solenoid
valves.

Diagnostic Aids
To help locate intermittent leaks, use the
J 41413-200
Evaporative Emissions System
Tester (EEST) to introduce smoke into the EVAP
system. Move all EVAP components while
observing smoke with the
J 41413-SPT
High
Intensity White Light. Introducing smoke in 15
second intervals will allow less pressure into
the EVAP System. When the system is less
pressurized, the smoke will sometimes escape in
a more condensed manner.
A temporary blockage in the EVAP canister purge
solenoid valve, purge pipe or EVAP canister
could cause an intermittent condition. Inspect and
repair any restriction in the EVAP system.
To improve the visibility of the smoke exiting the
EVAP System, observe the suspected leak
area from different angles with the
J 41413-SPT
.
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.
A condition may exist where a leak in the EVAP
System only exists under a vacuum condition.
ByusingtheTech 2 PURGE/SEALfunctionto
EngineControls-6.0LEngine
create a vacuum, seal the system and observe
the FTP parameter for vacuum decay, this type of
leak may be detected.
For intermittent conditions, refer to
Intermittent

System Description
This DTC tests for undesired intake manifold vacuum
flow to the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System.
The control module seals the EVAP System by
commanding the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve
Closed and the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve
Closed. The control module monitors the fuel
tank pressure (FTP) sensor to determine if a vacuum
is being drawn on the EVAP System. If vacuum in
the EVAP system is more than a predetermined value
within a predetermined time, this DTC sets.
The following table illustrates the relationship between
the ON and OFF states, and the Open or Closed
states of the EVAP canister purge and vent solenoid
valves.

DTC P0506
Circuit Description
The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor is controlled
by the engine control module (ECM). The DC motor
located in the throttle body drives the throttle plate. In
order to decrease idle speed, the ECM commands
the throttle closed reducing air flow into the engine and
the idle speed decreases. In order to increase idle
speed, the ECM commands the throttle plate
open allowing more air to pass the throttle plate. If the
actual idle RPM does not match the desired idle
RPM within a calibrated time, this DTC sets.

DTC P060D
Circuit Description
The throttle actuator control (TAC) system uses
two accelerator pedal position (APP) sensors to
monitor the pedal position. Two processors are also
used to monitor the TAC system data. The engine
control module (ECM) performs an intrusive test
in order to detect that the APP signals are not shorted
together. The ECM accomplishes this by pulling the
APP sensor 2 low momentarily and looking for
sensor 1 to also be low. The TAC system also
performs this test on the throttle position (TP) sensors.
This diagnostic monitors the transistor used to pull
one pedal and one throttle sensor to ground

Circuit Description
The engine control module (ECM) provides 5 volts to
the following sensors:
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
The engine oil pressure (EOP) sensor
The fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor
The air conditioning (A/C) refrigerant pressure
sensor
The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor 2

DTC P0650
Circuit Description
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located on the
instrument panel cluster (IPC). The MIL informs the
driver that an emission system fault has occurred and
that the engine control system requires service.
The control module monitors the MIL control circuit for
conditions that are incorrect for the commanded
state of the MIL. For example, a failure condition exists
if the control module detects low voltage when the
MIL is commanded OFF, or high voltage when the MIL
is commanded ON. If the control module detects an
improper voltage on the MIL control circuit, DTC P0650
will set.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0650 Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
Control Circuit
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.
The ignition voltage is between 10–18 volts.
DTC P0650 runs continuously once the above
conditions are met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The control module detects that the commanded state
of the MIL driver and the actual state of the control
circuit do not match for 0.5 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module records the operating conditions at
the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the control module stores this
information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic
reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the control module records the operating
conditions at the time of the failure. The control module
writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame
and updates the Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the
diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any
other emission related diagnostic.

DTC P0685
Circuit Description
The powertrain ignition 1 relay is a normally open
relay. The relay armature is held in the open position
by spring tension. Battery positive voltage is
supplied directly to the relay coil and the armature
contact at all times. The engine control module (ECM)
supplies the ground path to the relay coil control
circuit via an internal integrated circuit called an output
driver module (ODM). One ODM output control is
configured to operate as a low side driver for
the powertrain ignition 1 relay. The ODM for the
powertrain ignition 1 relay also incorporates a fault
detection circuit, which is continuously monitored
by the ECM. When the ECM commands the ODM for
the powertrain ignition 1 relay to turn OFF the
expected voltage on the relay coil control circuit should
be a high voltage condition. When the ECM
commands the ODM to turn ON the expected voltage
on the relay coil control circuit should be low
voltage. DTC P0685 indicates that the powertrain
ignition 1 relay control circuit voltage does not match
the commanded state of the ODM. DTC P0685
sets when an open, high resistance, short to ground,
or a short to battery positive voltage is detected
on the powertrain relay coil control circuit.
The underhood fuse block features an alphanumeric
grid system for the terminals of the relays and the mini
fuses. Along the top forward edge of the underhood
fuse block the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K,
L, and M are used. Along the top right edge of
the underhood fuse block the numbers 1 through 20
are used. The powertrain ignition 1 relay circuits
are assigned to the following cavities of the underhood
fuse block:
H13 Battery positive voltage to the relay coil,
hot at all times
H14 Battery positive voltage to the relay
armature, hot at all times

DTC P0689
Circuit Description
The powertrain ignition 1 relay is a normally open
relay. The relay armature is held in the open position
by spring tension. Battery positive voltage is
supplied directly to the relay coil and the armature
contact at all times. The engine control module (ECM)
supplies the ground path to the relay coil control
circuit via an internal integrated circuit called an output
driver module (ODM). When the ECM commands
the powertrain ignition 1 relay ON, ignition 1 voltage is
supplied to the ECM through the ETC fuse in the
underhood fuse block. This ignition 1 voltage input to
the ECM provides the ignition power for the
electronic throttle control (ETC) circuitry, and is also
used to confirm the powertrain ignition 1 relay contacts
have closed. This DTC will set when the ECM
detects less than 10 volts on the ETC ignition 1 voltage
circuit to the ECM, after the ignition switch is turned
ON. DTC P0689 indicates an open, high resistance, or
short to ground on the ETC ignition 1 voltage circuit
to the ECM.
The underhood fuse block features an alphanumeric
grid system for the terminals of the relays and the mini
fuses. Along the top forward edge of the underhood
fuse block, the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J,
K, L, and M are used. Along the top right edge of the
underhood fuse block the numbers 1 through 20
are used. The powertrain ignition 1 relay circuits are
assigned to the following cavities of the underhood
fuse block.
H13 Battery positive voltage to the relay coil,
hot at all times
H14 Battery positive voltage to the relay
armature, hot at all times

DTC P1101
Circuit Description
The intake flow rationality diagnostic provides the
within-range rationality check for the mass air
flow (MAF), manifold absolute pressure (MAP), and
the throttle position (TP) sensors. This is an explicit
model-based diagnostic containing 3 separate models
for the intake system.
One model, the throttle model, describes the flow
through the throttle body and is used to estimate
the MAF through the throttle body as a function
of barometric pressure (BARO), TP, intake
air temperature (IAT), and estimated MAP.
Another model, the first intake manifold model,
describes the intake manifold and is used to
estimate MAP as a function of the MAF into the
manifold from the throttle body and the MAF out of
the manifold caused by engine pumping. The
flow into the manifold from the throttle uses the
MAF estimate calculated from the above
throttle model.
Another model is the second intake manifold
model and is identical to the first intake manifold
model except that the MAF sensor measurement
is used instead of the throttle model estimate
for the throttle air input.
Finally, a fourth model is created from the
combination and additional calculations of the
throttle model and the first intake manifold model.
The estimates of MAF and MAP obtained from
this system of models and calculations are then
compared to the actual measured values from the
MAF, MAP, and the TP sensors and to each other to
determine the appropriate DTC to fail. The following
table illustrates the possible failure combinations
and the resulting DTC or DTCs.

If the engine control module (ECM) detects that the
actual measured airflow from MAF, MAP, and TP is not
within range of the calculated airflow that is derived

DTCs P0102, P0103, P0112, P0113, P0107,
P0108, P0117, P0118, P0335, P0336 are not set.
The engine speed is between 400–6,400 RPM.
The IAT Sensor parameter is between 7°C
and +125°C (19–257°F).
The ECT Sensor parameter is between 70–125°C
(158–257°F).
This DTC runs continuously within the enabling
conditions.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects that the actual measured airflow
from MAF, MAP, and TP is not within range of
the calculated airflow that is derived from the system
of models for more than 0.5 second.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
first time the diagnostic fails, the control module
stores this information in the Failure Records.
If the diagnostic reports a failure on the
second consecutive ignition cycle, the control
module records the operating conditions at
the time of the failure. The control module writes
the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame
and updates the Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The control module turns OFF the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition
cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the
diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any
other emission related diagnostic.
CleartheMILandtheDTCwithaTech 2 .
Diagnostic Aids
Any condition that can cause the MAF, MAP, and
TP sensors to be shifted in value at the same
time will cause this DTC to set.
Inspect the harness of the MAF sensor to verify
that it is not routed too close to the following
components:
Any aftermarket accessories—Refer to
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
in Wiring
Systems.
The secondary ignition wires or coils
Any solenoids
Any relays
Any motors
A wide open throttle acceleration from a stop
should cause the MAF sensor parameter on
theTech 2 toincreaserapidly.Thisincrease
should be from 3–6 g/s at idle to 120 g/s or more
at the time of the 1-2 shift. If the increase is
not observed, inspect for a restriction in the
induction system or the exhaust system.
A skewed or stuck engine coolant
temperature (ECT) or IAT sensor will cause the
calculated models to be inaccurate and may cause
this DTC to run when it should not.
A steady or intermittent high resistance of
15 ohms or more on the ignition 1 voltage circuit
will cause the MAF sensor values to be skewed
high by up to 60 g/s, and may cause this DTC to
set. A high resistance will cause a driveability
concern before this DTC sets.
The BARO that is used by the ECM to calculate
the air flow models is initially based on the
MAP sensor at key ON. When the engine is
running, the ECM will continually update
the BARO value near wide open throttle using the
MAP sensor and a calculation. A skewed MAP
sensor will cause the calculated mass air
flow value to be inaccurate and may result in a no
start condition. With the ignition ON and the
engine OFF, the MAP Sensor parameter varies
with the altitude. 101 kPa is the approximate value
near sea level. This value will decrease by
approximately 3 kPa for every 305 meters
(1,000 feet) of altitude.
A high resistance on the low reference circuit of
the MAP sensor will skew the sensor value and
may cause this DTC to set.
A short to battery voltage on the 5-volt reference
circuit of the MAP sensor will cause this DTC
to set.
If the condition is intermittent, refer to
Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions
in Wiring Systems
and
Intermittent Conditions
.

DTC P1133 or P1153
Circuit Description
Heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel
control and post catalyst monitoring. Each HO2S
compares the oxygen content of the surrounding air
with the oxygen content in the exhaust stream.
The HO2S must reach operating temperature to
provide an accurate voltage signal. Heating elements
inside the HO2S minimize the time required for the
sensors to reach operating temperature. The engine
control module (ECM) supplies the HO2S with a
reference, or bias, voltage of about 450 mV. When the
engine is first started the ECM operates in Open
Loop, ignoring the HO2S voltage signal. Once
the HO2S reaches operating temperature and Closed
Loop is achieved, the HO2S generates a voltage
within a range of 0–1,000 mV that fluctuates above
and below bias voltage. High HO2S voltage indicates
a rich exhaust stream. Low HO2S voltage indicates
a lean exhaust stream. This diagnostic will only
run once per ignition cycle. The ECM monitors the
number of rich-to-lean and lean-to-rich transitions. If
the ECM detects that the number of transitions
were less than a specified value, DTC P1133 sets for
HO2S bank 1 sensor 1, or DTC P1153 sets for
HO2S bank 2 sensor 1.

value for a 60 second monitoring period.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
first time the diagnostic fails, the control module
stores this information in the Failure Records.
If the diagnostic reports a failure on the
second consecutive ignition cycle, the control
module records the operating conditions at
the time of the failure. The control module writes
the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame
and updates the Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The control module turns OFF the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition
cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the
diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any
other emission related diagnostic.

DTC P1134 or P1154
Circuit Description
Heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel
control and post catalyst monitoring. Each HO2S
compares the oxygen content of the surrounding air
with the oxygen content in the exhaust stream.
The HO2S must reach operating temperature to
provide an accurate voltage signal. Heating elements
inside the HO2S minimize the time required for the
sensors to reach operating temperature. The engine
control module (ECM) supplies the HO2S with a
reference, or bias, voltage of about 450 mV. When the
engine is first started the ECM operates in Open
Loop, ignoring the HO2S voltage signal. Once
the HO2S reaches operating temperature and Closed
Loop is achieved, the HO2S generates a voltage
within a range of 0–1,000 mV that fluctuates above
and below bias voltage. High HO2S voltage indicates
a rich exhaust stream. Low HO2S voltage indicates
a lean exhaust stream. This diagnostic will only
run once per ignition cycle. The ECM monitors the
rich-to-lean and lean-to-rich transition time. A transition
is defined as, the HO2S voltage changes from
above 625 mV to below 250 mV or from below 250 mV
to above 625 mV. If the ECM detects that the
difference between the rich-to-lean average transition
time and lean-to-rich average transition time is
more than a specified value, DTC P1134 sets for
HO2S bank 1 sensor 1, or DTC P1154 sets for HO2S
bank 2 sensor 1.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects that the difference between the
HO2S rich-to-lean average transition time and
the lean-to-rich average transition time is more than a
calibrated value for a 60 second monitoring period.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive
ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
first time the diagnostic fails, the control module
stores this information in the Failure Records.
If the diagnostic reports a failure on the
second consecutive ignition cycle, the control
module records the operating conditions at
the time of the failure. The control module writes
the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame
and updates the Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The control module turns OFF the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition
cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the
diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any
other emission related diagnostic.

DTC P1380
System Description
The engine control module (ECM) detects engine
misfire events by monitoring variations in the
crankshaft rotation speed. Wheel speed changes
caused by rough road conditions can cause changes
in crankshaft speed. By monitoring the wheel
speed sensors, the antilock brake system (ABS) can
determine if the vehicle is operating on a rough road. If
the ABS is detecting a rough road condition severe
enough to effect misfire detection, a rough road signal
is sent to the ECM on the serial data circuit. If
DTC P0300 is set and the rough road information is
not available due to an ABS malfunction, DTC P1380
will set.

The throttle valve are spring loaded to a slightly open
position. The throttle valve should be open
approximately 20 percent. This is referred to as the
rest position. The throttle valve should not be
completely closed nor should they be open any more
than the specified amount. The throttle valve should
move open and to the closed position without binding
under the normal spring pressure. The throttle
should NOT be free to move open or closed WITHOUT
spring pressure. Replace the throttle body if any of
these conditions are found.
Important: Operating the throttle blade with the
ThrottleBladeControlfunctionoftheTech 2 may
cause additional DTCs to set. Do not attempt to
diagnose DTCs set during this function.

DTC P1682
Circuit Description
The ignition 1 voltage circuit supplied by the powertrain
ignition 1 relay is used to power the electronic
throttle control (ETC) circuitry internal to the engine
control module (ECM). The second ignition 1 voltage
circuit is supplied by the run/crank relay, and is used to
power the remaining internal ECM circuits. If the
ECM detects a voltage difference between the
two ignition 1 voltage circuits, DTC P1682 will set.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P1682 Ignition 1 Switch Circuit 2
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.
The powertrain relay is commanded ON.
DTC P1682 runs continuously.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects that the voltage level difference is
greater than 3 volts between the run/crank and
the ETC ignition 1 voltage circuits for more than
3 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs
and fails.
The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
control module stores the information in the
Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The control module turns OFF the MIL after
3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic
runs and does not fail.
A current DTC last test failed clears when the
diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles if no failures are reported by this or any
other emission related diagnostic.
Test Description

Diagnostic Aids
The throttle valve are spring loaded to a slightly open
position. The throttle valve should be open
approximately 20 percent. This is referred to as the
rest position. The throttle valve should not be
completely closed nor should they be open any more
than the specified amount. The throttle valve should
move open and to the closed position without binding
under the normal spring pressure. The throttle
should NOT be free to move open or closed WITHOUT
spring pressure. Replace the throttle body if any of
these conditions are found.
Important: Operating the throttle blade with the
ThrottleBladeControlfunctionoftheTech 2 may
cause additional DTCs to set. Do not attempt to
diagnose DTCs set during this function.
TheTech 2 hastheabilitytooperatethethrottle
control system using special functions. Actuate
the throttle valve using the throttle blade control
function located in the throttle actuator control (TAC)
system menu. This function will operate the throttle
valve through the entire range in order to determine if
the throttle body and system operate correctly.
Check for the following conditions:
Use the
J 35616-B
Connector Test Adapter Kit for
any test that requires probing the engine control
module (ECM) harness connector or a component
harness connector.
Poor connections at the ECM or at the
component—Inspect the harness connectors for a
poor terminal to wire connection. Refer to

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
8. The throttle valve is spring loaded in a slightly
open position and should move in either direction
without binding. The throttle valve should
always be under spring pressure.
11. When the ignition is turned ON, the ECM operates
the throttle control motor to verify the integrity of
the system prior to start-up. This can be seen
by the momentary flash of the test lamp as
the ignition is turned ON.

DTC P2119
Circuit Description
The engine control module (ECM) controls the throttle
valve by applying a varying voltage to the throttle
actuator control motor. The ECM monitors the actual
throttle valve position using throttle position (TP)
sensor 1 and 2. If the ECM detects the throttle valve
did not return to the rest position within a calibrated
time, this DTC sets.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P2119 Throttle Closed Position Performance
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.
The vehicle speed is 0 km/h (0 mph).
The engine speed is less than 40 RPM.
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is 5–60°C
(41–140°F).
The intake air temperature (IAT) is 5–60°C (41–
140°F).
The ignition 1 voltage is more than 10 volts.
The accelerator pedal position (APP) is less than
15 percent.
DTC P2119 runs once per ignition cycle when the
above conditions are met for more than 1 second.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM determines that the throttle valve did not
return to the rest position within 720 milliseconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module stores the DTC information
into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not
illuminate.
The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
control module stores this information in the
Failure Records.
The driver information center, if equipped, may
display a message.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC Last Test Failed clears when the
diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any
other non-emission related diagnostic.
CleartheDTCwithaTech 2 .
Diagnostic Aids
Use the
J 35616-B
Connector Test Adapter Kit for
any test that requires probing the ECM harness
connector or a component harness connector.
Inspect for a condition in which the throttle valve
may have been held open. For example, ice
may have formed in the throttle bore causing the
throttle valve not to close. Observe the Freeze
Frame/Failure Records.
The throttle valve is spring loaded to a slightly
open position. The throttle valve should be
open approximately 15–20 percent. This is
referred to as the rest position.
The throttle valve should not be completely closed
or open any more than a specified amount.
The throttle valve should move open and to the
closed position without binding under the
normal spring pressure.
The throttle should NOT be free to move open or
closed WITHOUT spring pressure.
TheTech 2 hastheabilitytooperatethethrottle

DTC P2120
Circuit Description
The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensors 1 and 2
are located within the accelerator pedal assembly.
Each sensor has the following circuits:
A 5-volt reference circuit
A low reference circuit
A signal circuit
This provides the engine control module (ECM) with a
signal voltage proportional to accelerator pedal
movement. The APP sensors have opposite
functionality. APP sensor 1 signal voltage increases as
the pedal is depressed, from below 1 volt at rest to
above 2.5 volts when fully depressed. The APP
sensor 2 signal voltage decreases as the pedal is
depressed, from 4 volts at rest to less than 1 volt with
the accelerator pedal fully depressed. If the ECM
detects that the APP sensor 1 signal voltage is
not within the predicted range, this DTC sets.

DTC P2122
Circuit Description
The accelerator pedal assembly contains 2 accelerator
pedal position (APP) sensors. The APP sensors are
mounted in the pedal assembly and are not
serviceable. The APP sensors provide a signal voltage
that changes relative to the position of the accelerator
pedal. The engine control module (ECM) supplies
a separate 5-volt reference and low reference circuit
for each of the APP sensors.
The APP sensor 1 signal voltage increases as the
pedal is depressed, from approximately 1 volt at rest
to above 2.5 volts when fully depressed. The APP
sensor 2 signal voltage decreases as the pedal
is depressed, from approximately 4 volts at rest to less
than 1 volt with the accelerator pedal fully depressed.
If the ECM detects that the APP sensor 1 signal
voltage is too low, this DTC sets.

Diagnostic Aids
Use the
J 35616-B
Connector Test Adapter Kit for
any test that requires probing the ECM harness
connector or a component harness connector.
If DTCs P0700, P2122, P2128, and P2138 are set
together in various combinations, inspect the APP
sensor 1 and 2 signal circuits for being shorted
together.
For an intermittent condition, refer to
Intermittent
Conditions
.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
3. This step tests the internal circuits of the APP
sensor 1 throughout its range of motion. If
this DTC sets when slowly moving the pedal from
the rest position to wide open throttle (WOT),
replace the APP assembly for an internal fault.
5. The ECM produces a measurable steady-state
amperage that provides the 5-volt reference
to the APP sensor 1. If the amperage on the 5-volt
reference circuit is less than 80 mA, there is a
condition with the 5-volt reference circuit or
the ECM.
7. This step tests for high resistance in the low
reference circuit of the APP sensor 1. The ECM
must be completely powered down to obtain
an accurate resistance reading. It may take up to
30 minutes for the ECM to power down after
the ignition key is removed. Removal of the
ECM/TCM fuse allows the ECM to power down
completely.

DTC P2127
Circuit Description
The accelerator pedal assembly contains 2 accelerator
pedal position (APP) sensors. The APP sensors are
mounted in the pedal assembly and are not
serviceable. The APP sensors provide a signal voltage
that changes relative to the position of the accelerator
pedal. The engine control module (ECM) supplies
a separate 5-volt reference and low reference circuit
for each of the APP sensors.
The APP sensor 1 signal voltage increases as the
pedal is depressed, from approximately 1 volt at rest
to above 2.5 volts when fully depressed. The APP
sensor 2 signal voltage decreases as the pedal
is depressed, from approximately 4 volts at rest to less
than 1 volt with the accelerator pedal fully depressed.
If the ECM detects that the APP sensor 2 signal
voltage is too low, this DTC sets.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P2127 Accelerator Pedal Position (APP)
Sensor 2 Circuit Low Voltage
Conditions for Running the DTC
DTCs P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, P0606,
P0607, P0641, P0651 are not set.
The ignition is ON or the engine is operating.
The ignition 1 voltage is more than 5.23 volts.
DTC P2127 runs continuously once the above
conditions are met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The APP sensor 2 voltage is less than 0.3625 volts for
more than 1 second.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs
and fails.
The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
control module stores this information in the
Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The control module turns OFF the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) after 4 consecutive ignition
cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the
diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any
other emission related diagnostic.

Diagnostic Aids
Use the
J 35616-B
Connector Test Adapter Kit for
any test that requires probing the ECM harness
connector or a component harness connector.
For an intermittent condition, refer to
Intermittent
Conditions
.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
3. This step tests the internal circuits of the APP
sensor 2 throughout its range of motion. If
this DTC sets when slowly moving the pedal from
the rest position to wide open throttle (WOT),
replace the APP assembly for an internal fault.
5. The ECM produces a measurable steady-state
amperage that provides the 5-volt reference
to the APP sensor 2. If the amperage on the 5-volt
reference circuit is less than 50 mA, there is a
condition with the 5-volt reference circuit or
the ECM.
7. This step tests for high resistance in the low
reference circuit of the APP sensor 2. The ECM
must be completely powered down to obtain
an accurate resistance reading. It may take up to
30 minutes for the ECM to power down after
the ignition key is removed. Removal of the
ECM/TCM fuse allows the ECM to power down
completely.

DTC P2135
Circuit Description
The throttle position (TP) sensors 1 and 2 are located
within the throttle body assembly. The TP sensors
share a common 5-volt reference circuit and a
common low reference circuit. The 5-volt reference
circuit is also shared with the accelerator pedal
position (APP) sensor 2. The 5-volt reference voltage
is supplied on 2 separate engine control module (ECM)
terminals, but the terminals are connected internally
to the same voltage supply. Each TP sensor has
an individual signal circuit, which provides the ECM
with a signal voltage proportional to throttle the
plate movement. When the throttle plate is in the
closed position, the TP sensor 1 signal voltage is near
the low reference and increases as the throttle
plate is opened. The TP sensor 2 signal voltage at
closed throttle is near the 5-volt reference and
decreases as the throttle plate is opened. If the ECM
detects that the TP sensors are not within a
predicted value from each other, DTC P2135 sets.

DTC P2138
Circuit Description
The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor is made
up of 2 sensors that are housed inside one assembly.
The engine control module (ECM) supplies a
separate 5-volt reference circuit and a low reference
circuit for each of the sensors. The 5-volt reference for
APP sensor 1 is supplied from the same source in
the ECM as the 5-volt reference for the mass air
flow (MAF) sensor and the fuel tank pressure (FTP)
sensor. The 5-volt reference voltage for all of the
sensors is supplied on separate ECM terminals, but
the terminals are connected internally to a voltage
supply. The APP sensor 1 sends a signal from
the sensor to the ECM indicating the accelerator pedal
position. The ECM actuates the throttle plates based
on this information. If the ECM detects that the
APP sensors are not within a predicted value from
each other, DTC P2138 sets.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P2138 Accelerator Pedal Position (APP)

P2125, P2127, P2128 are not set.
The ignition is ON.
DTC P2138 runs continuously once the above
conditions are met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects that the difference between APP
sensor 1 and APP sensor 2 is more than the predicted
value for less than 1 second.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs
and fails.
The control module records the operating
conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The
control module stores this information in the
Freeze Frame and/or the Failure Records.
The control module commands the TAC system to
operate in the Reduced Engine Power mode.
A message center or an indicator displays
Reduced Engine Power.
Under certain conditions the control module
commands the engine OFF.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The control module turns OFF the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition
cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the
diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any
other emission related diagnostic.

Diagnostic Aids
The throttle valve is spring loaded to a slightly open
position. The throttle valve should be open
approximately 20–25 percent. This is referred to as
the rest position. The throttle valve should not be
completely closed nor should they be open any more
than the specified amount. The throttle valve should
move open and to the closed position without binding
under the normal spring pressure. The throttle
should NOT be free to move open or closed WITHOUT
spring pressure. Replace the throttle body if any of
these conditions are found.
Important: Operating the throttle blade with the
ThrottleBladeControlfunctionoftheTech 2 may
cause additional DTCs to set. Do not attempt to
diagnose DTCs set during this function.
TheTech 2 hastheabilitytooperatethethrottle
control system using Special Functions. Actuate
the throttle valve using the throttle blade control
function located in the TAC System menu. This
function will operate the throttle valve through the
entire range in order to determine if the throttle body
and system operate correctly.
Check for the following conditions:
Use the
J 35616-B
Connector Test Adapter Kit for
any test that requires probing the ECM harness
connector or a component harness connector.
Poor connections at the ECM or at the
component—Inspect the harness connectors for a
poor terminal to wire connection. Refer to

.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
8. The throttle valve is spring loaded in a slightly
open position and should move in either direction
without binding. The throttle valve should
always be under spring pressure.
11. When the ignition is turned ON, the ECM operates
the throttle control motor to verify the integrity of
the system prior to start-up. This can be seen
by the momentary flash of the test lamp as
the ignition is turned ON.

Before using this section, perform the
Diagnostic
System Check - Vehicle
in Vehicle DTC Information
and verify all of the following conditions:
The engine control module (ECM) and the
malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) are operating
correctly. Refer to
Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) Inoperative
.
Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are not stored.
TheTech 2 dataiswithinthenormaloperating
range.Referto

.
Verify the customer concern and locate the
correct symptom table. Inspect the items indicated
in that symptom table.
Several of the symptom procedures ask for a
careful visual/physical inspection. This step
is extremely important, and can lead to correcting
a condition without further inspections and can
save valuable time.
If the intermittent condition exists as a start and
then stall, inspect for any DTCs related to the
theft deterrent system. Refer to
Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) List - Vehicle
in Vehicle
DTC Information.
Verify the proper installation of any of the following
aftermarket accessories:
Lights
Cellular phone
Remote starter system
Aftermarket installed alarm
Use the following tables when diagnosing a
symptom concern:
Poor Fuel Fill Quality
Hard Start
Surges/Chuggles
Lack of Power, Sluggishness, or Sponginess
Detonation/Spark Knock
Hesitation, Sag, Stumble
Cuts Out, Misses
Poor Fuel Economy

Intermittent Conditions
Inspection/Test Action
DEFINITION: The problem is not currently present but is indicated in DTC History.
OR
There is a customer complaint, but the symptom can not currently be duplicated, if the problem is not DTC related.
Preliminary Refer to
Symptoms - Engine Controls
before starting.
Harness/Connector Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector
movement that is caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc.
Test for this type of condition by performing the applicable procedure from the
following list:
MoverelatedconnectorsandwiringwhilemonitoringtheappropriateTech 2
tool data.
Move related connectors and wiring with the component commanded ON, and
OFF,withtheTech 2 .Observethecomponentoperation.
With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while monitoring
engine operation.
If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed, component/system
operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
Refer to Electrical Connections or Wiring.
EngineEngineControls-6.0L
Intermittent Conditions (cont’d)
Inspection/Test Action
Electrical Connections or Wiring Poor electrical connections, terminal tension or wiring problems cause most
intermittents. Refer to
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
,
Circuit Testing
,
Connector Repairs
,or
Wiring Repairs
in Wiring Systems to perform
the following inspections:
Inspect for poor mating of the connector halves, or terminals improperly seated in
the connector body.
Inspect for improperly formed or damaged terminals. Test for poor terminal
tension.
Inspect for poor terminal to wire connections including terminals crimped over
insulation. This requires removing the terminal from the connector body.
Inspect for corrosion/water intrusion. Pierced or damaged insulation can allow
moisture to enter the wiring. The conductor can corrode inside the insulation,
with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff sections of wire in the
suspect circuits.
Inspect for wires that are broken inside the insulation.
Inspect the harness for pinched, cut or rubbed through wiring.
Ensure that the wiring does not come in contact with hot exhaust components.
Control Module Power and Grounds
Component Power and Grounds Poor power or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
Test all control module power supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple
circuits supplying power to the control module. Other components in the system
may have separate power supply circuits that may also need to be tested.
Inspect connections at the module/component connectors, fuses, and any
intermediate connections between the power source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the
ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the
current necessary to operate the component. Refer to
Circuit Testing
and
Power
Distribution Schematics
in Wiring Systems.
Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module
may have multiple ground circuits. Other components in the system may have
separate grounds that may also need to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and
tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the connections at the
component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to
Circuit Testing
and
Ground Distribution Schematics
in Wiring Systems.
Temperature Sensitivity An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches
normal operating temperature. The condition may occur only when the
component/connection is cold, or only when the component/connection is hot.
Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may
help with this type of intermittent condition, where applicable.
If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the
following:
High ambient temperatures
Underhood/engine generated heat
Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
Low ambient temperatures—In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a
connection or component. Test for water intrusion.
The condition only occurs on a cold start.
The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a
pattern that is temperature related.
EngineControls-6.0LEngine
Intermittent Conditions (cont’d)
Inspection/Test Action
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
and Electrical Noise Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to EMI or other types of electrical
noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such
as secondary ignition components, motors, generator etc. These components
may induce electrical noise on a circuit that could interfere with normal circuit
operation.
Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or an engine
control module (ECM) driven solenoid or switch. These conditions can cause a
sharp electrical surge. Normally, the problem will occur when the malfunctioning
component is operating.
Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as
lights, 2-way radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems,
cell phones, etc. These accessories may lead to an emission related OBD II
failure while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in use. Refer to
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
in Wiring Systems.
Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open
diodes. Some relays may contain a clamping diode.
Test the generator for a bad rectifier bridge that may be allowing AC noise into
the electrical system. Refer to
Symptoms - Engine Electrical
in Engine Electrical.
Incorrect PCM Programming There are only a few situations where reprogramming an ECM is appropriate:
A new service ECM is installed.
An ECM from another vehicle is installed.
Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
Important: DO NOT re-program the ECM with the SAME software/calibration files
that are already present in the ECM. This is not an effective repair for any type of
driveability problem.
Verify that the ECM contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect
programming is found, reprogram the ECM with the most current
software/calibration. Refer to
Control Module References
in Computer/Integrating
Systems for replacement, setup, and programming.
Duplicating Failure Conditions If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture
the failure conditions.

Powertrain Relay Diagnosis
Circuit Description
The powertrain relay is a normally open relay. The
relay armature is held in the open position by spring
tension. Battery positive voltage is supplied directly
to the powertrain relay coil and the armature contact at
all times. The engine control module (ECM) supplies
the ground path to the relay coil control circuit via
an internal integrated circuit called an output driver
module (ODM). When the ECM commands the
relay ON, the relay coil creates an electromagnetic
field. This electromagnetic field overcomes the spring
tension and pulls the armature contact into the
stationary contact of the relay load circuit. The closing
of the relay contacts allows current to flow from the
battery to the following fuses and relay.
Fuel Fuse
O2 Sensor Fuse
ETC fuse
Emission Fuse
Even INJ Fuse
Odd INJ Fuse
A/C Comp Relay Relay coil side
When the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position,
power is interrupted to the ODM in the ECM and
the powertrain relay electromagnetic field collapses.
This action allows the spring tension pulling on
the armature to separate from the relay load circuit
contact, which interrupts current flow to the fuses and
relay. The underhood fuse block features an
alphanumeric grid system for the terminals of the
relays and the mini fuses. Along the top forward edge
of the underhood fuse block the letters A, B, C, D,
E, F, G, H, J, K, L, and M are used. Along the top right
edge of the underhood fuse block the numbers 1
through 20 are used. If the powertrain relay fails to
close, the engine will crank but will not run. The
GMLAN and class II data communications will be
availablewiththeuseofaCANdimoduleandaTech 2
tool. The powertrain relay will remain powered up
for 5 seconds after the ignition switch is turned OFF.
The powertrain relay system diagnosis table assumes
that the vehicle battery is fully charged. Refer to
Battery Inspection/Test

Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis
(without Special Tool)
Description
Water contamination in the fuel system may cause
driveability conditions such as hesitation, stalling, no
start, or misfires in one or more cylinders. Water
may collect near a single fuel injector at the lowest
point in the fuel injection system, and cause a misfire
in that cylinder. If the fuel system is contaminated
with water, inspect the fuel system components
for rust, or deterioration.
Alcohol concentrations of 10 percent or greater in fuel
can be detrimental to fuel system components.
Alcohol contamination may cause fuel system
corrosion, deterioration of rubber components, and
subsequent fuel filter restriction. Some types of alcohol
are more detrimental to fuel system components
than others. Ethanol is commonly used in gasoline,
but in concentrations of no more than 10 percent.
Some fuels, such as E85, contain a very high
percentage of ethanol. Fuel with more than 10 percent
ethanol may cause driveability conditions such as
hesitation, lack of power, stalling, or no start.
EngineEngineControls-6.0L
Alcohol in Fuel Testing Procedure
The fuel sample should be drawn from the bottom of
the tank so that any water present in the tank will
be detected. The sample should be bright and clear. If
alcohol contamination is suspected then use the
following procedure to test the fuel quality.
1. Using a 100 ml (3.4 oz) specified cylinder with
1 ml (0.03 oz) graduation marks, fill the cylinder
with fuel to the 90 ml (3.04 oz) mark.
2. Add 10 ml (0.34 oz) of water in order to bring the
total fluid volume to 100 ml (3.4 oz) and install a
stopper.
3. Shake the cylinder vigorously for 10–15 seconds.
4. Carefully loosen the stopper in order to release
the pressure.
5. Re-install the stopper and shake the cylinder
vigorously again for 10–15 seconds.
6. Put the cylinder on a level surface for
approximately 5 minutes in order to allow
adequate liquid separation.
If alcohol is present in the fuel, the volume of the
lower layer, which would now contain both alcohol and
water, will be more than 10 ml (0.34 oz). For
example, if the volume of the lower layer is increased
to 15 ml (0.51 oz), this indicates at least 5 percent
alcohol in the fuel. The actual amount of alcohol may
be somewhat more because this procedure does
not extract all of the alcohol from the fuel.
Particulate Contaminants in Fuel Testing
Procedure
The fuel sample should be drawn from the bottom of
the tank so that any water present in the tank will
be detected. The sample should be bright and clear. If
the sample appears cloudy, or contaminated with
water, as indicated by a water layer at the bottom of
the sample, use the following procedure to diagnose
the fuel.
1. Using an approved fuel container, draw
approximately 0.5 liter (0.13 gal) of fuel.
2. Place the cylinder on a level surface for
approximately 5 minutes in order to allow settling
of the particulate contamination.
Particulate contamination will show up in various
shapes and colors. Sand will typically be identified by
a white or light brown crystals. Rubber will appear
as black and irregular particles. If particles are found
clean the entire fuel system thoroughly.
Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis
(with Special Tool)
Description
Water contamination in the fuel system may cause
driveability conditions such as hesitation, stalling, no
start, or misfires in one or more cylinders. Water
may collect near a single fuel injector at the lowest
point in the fuel injection system, and cause a misfire
in that cylinder. If the fuel system is contaminated
with water, inspect the fuel system components for rust
or deterioration.
Ethanol concentrations of greater than 10 percent can
cause driveability conditions and fuel system
deterioration. Fuel with more than 10 percent ethanol
could result in driveability conditions such as
hesitation, lack of power, stalling, or no start.
Excessive concentrations of ethanol used in vehicles
not designed for it may cause fuel system corrosion,
deterioration of rubber components, and fuel filter
restriction.
Test Procedure
1. Test the fuel composition using
J 44175
Fuel
Composition Tester and J44175-3 Instruction
Manual.
2. Subtract 50 from the reading on the DMM in order
to obtain the percentage of alcohol in the fuel
sample. Refer to the examples in the Fuel
Composition Test Examples table.
3. If the fuel sample contains more than 15 percent
ethanol, add fresh, regular gasoline to the
vehicle’s fuel tank.
4. Test the fuel composition.
5. If testing shows the ethanol percentage is still
more than 15 percent, replace the fuel in the
vehicle.

Example A 50 Hz -50 0
Example B 65 Hz -50 15

Electronic Ignition (EI) System Diagnosis
Circuit Description
The electronic ignition system uses an individual
ignition coil for each cylinder. The engine control
module (ECM) controls the ignition operation through
eight individual ignition control (IC) circuits. Each bank
of four ignition coils is connected to the ECM,
power, or ground by the following circuits:
A low reference circuit
A chassis ground circuit
An ignition 1 voltage circuit
The appropriate IC circuit
EngineControls-6.0LEngine
The ECM triggers an ignition coil by grounding the
appropriate IC circuit using information from the
crankshaft position (CKP) and camshaft position (CMP)
sensors.
Diagnostic Aids
Important: A missing CMP sensor signal may cause
a long crank condition.
The CKP signal must be available for the engine to
start. The CMP signal is not needed to start and
operate the engine. The ECM can determine when a
cylinder is on either the firing or the exhaust stroke
by the 24X signal.
Remove any debris from the ECM connector surfaces
before servicing the ECM. Inspect the ECM connector
gaskets when diagnosing or replacing the ECM.
Ensure that the gaskets are installed correctly. The
gaskets prevent water intrusion into the ECM.
For an intermittent condition, refer to
Intermittent
Conditions
.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
5. Monitoring the misfire current counters determines
if a fault is present.
12. A good indication that the fuse is open is all off
the misfire current counters are incrementing
on one side of the engine. Inspect the ignition
positive voltage circuit for a grounded circuit. If the
fuse is open and the ignition coil circuits are
OK, inspect the injector circuits for being
grounded.

Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System
Check
Description
Several states require that a vehicle pass on-board
diagnostic (OBD) system tests and the
inspection/maintenance (I/M) emission inspection in
order to renew license plates. This is accomplished by
viewingtheI/MSystemStatusdisplayonaTech 2
tool.UsingaTech 2 ,thetechniciancanobservethe
I/M System Status in order to verify that the vehicle
meets the criteria that comply with the local area
requirements.
Conditions for Updating the I/M System
Status
Each system monitor requires at least one, and
sometimes several diagnostic tests. The result of each
test is reported by a diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
A system monitor is complete when either all of
the DTCs comprising the monitor have Run and
Passed, or when any one of the DTCs comprising the
monitor has illuminated the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL). Once the system monitor is complete, the
I/M System Status display will indicate YES in the
Completed column.
For example, when the HO2S Heater Status indicates
YES, either all of the oxygen sensor heater tests
have passed or one of the tests has illuminated the
MIL. If the vehicle has four heated oxygen sensors,
either all four heater circuit tests have passed or one of
the heater circuit tests has illuminated the MIL. The
I/M System Status will indicate NO under the
Completed column when any of the required tests for
that system have not run. The following is a list of
conditions that would set the I/M System Status
indicator to NO:
The vehicle is new from the factory and has not
yet been driven through the necessary drive
conditions to complete the tests.
The battery has been disconnected or discharged
below operating voltage.
The control module power or ground has been
interrupted.
The control module has been reprogrammed.
The control module DTCs have been cleared.
Monitored Emission Control Systems
The OBD II System monitors all emission control
systems that are on-board. Not all vehicles have a full
complement of emission control systems. For
example, a vehicle may not be equipped with
secondary air injection (AIR) or exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR). The OBD II regulations require
monitoring of the following:
The air conditioning system
The catalytic converter efficiency
Comprehensive component monitoring—Emission
related inputs and outputs
The evaporative emissions (EVAP) system
The EGR System
The fuel delivery system
Heated catalyst monitoring
Misfire monitoring
The oxygen sensor system (O2S or HO2S)
The oxygen sensor heater system (HO2S heater)
The AIR system
For the specific DTCs required for each system, refer
to
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System DTC Table
.
Systems such as fuel delivery, misfire, and
comprehensive components may not be listed in a
system status list. These tests run continuously and do
not require an I/M System Status indicator.

Diagnostic Aids
Rough road conditions may prevent some of the tests
from running. Extreme high or low ambient
temperatures may prevent tests such as for the
heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) heater and the
evaporative emission (EVAP) system from initiating. If
a step is interrupted before completion, perform the
remaining portion of the set procedures. Any portion of
the set procedure that requires the engine at operating
temperature may be repeated. This allows most of
the diagnostics to run and the remaining tests can be
performed using the individual System Set
Procedures.
TheTech 2 canbeusedinordertomonitoreachof
the I/M System Status indicators during the I/M
Complete System Set Procedure. When all of the
indicators for a test step have updated to YES, testing
can move on to the next step even if the remaining
portion of the test is not complete. For example, step 3
is designed to run the EVAP, AIR, and HO2S tests.
The procedure instructs the technician to operate
the vehicle in the enable conditions for 6 minutes. If all
3 tests have updated to YES within 4 minutes, you
do not need to continue with the enable conditions and
testing can advance to the next step.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. This step is to run the HO2S heater tests and
initiate the EVAP System Test.
PreprogrammingtheTech 2 willreducethe
amount of time the oxygen sensor heaters operate
while verifying the enable criteria.
3. This step is to run the EVAP, the AIR, and the
oxygen sensor tests. The EVAP test begins
once the engine coolant reaches a calibrated
temperature. The AIR test, if equipped, begins
shortly after Closed Loop and the indicated speed
is achieved. The oxygen sensor tests begin
once the engine is at operating temperature, in
Closed Loop fuel control, and a calibrated amount
of time has elapsed.

Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) Catalyst System Set Procedure
Description
The purpose of this test is to satisfy the enable criteria
necessary to execute inspection/maintenance (I/M)
readiness diagnostics for the catalyst system. The test
may be used to set the I/M System Status indicators
to YES. The I/M System Status display on the
Tech 2 providesanindicationofwhetherthecontrol
module has completed the required tests. The I/M
System Status does not indicate that the tests have
passed or failed. When all of the diagnostics for a
specific system have run and passed, the I/M System
Status will update to YES. If a test for a specific
system has failed, the I/M System Status will update
to YES, indicating a determination was made even if all
of the other tests for that system have not run.
Conditions for Running
The barometric pressure is more than 70 kPa.
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is between
70–125.5°C (158–258°F).
The battery voltage is more than 11 volts.
The fuel alcohol content is less than 87 percent.
Diagnostic Aids
The control module runs a maximum of 6 catalyst
tests per trip until the Catalyst System Status updates
to YES. If the status does not update, the test
outlined in this procedure can be repeated until the
I/M System Status updates to YES.
If there is an impending failure, the system may
require more time to run the diagnostic than was
allotted in the set procedure. If the test does not run
after numerous attempts and no DTC is set, review the
appropriateTech 2 datalistandtheservice
information for an indication of why the test does not
complete. Some tests may abort due to changes
in the conditions while the test is running. For example,
changes in engine load such as a cooling fan or
A/C compressor clutch turning ON may cause the test
to abort.

Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Set Procedure
Description
The purpose of this procedure is to satisfy the enable
criteria necessary to execute inspection/maintenance
(I/M) readiness diagnostics for the Evaporative
Emission (EVAP) System. The procedure may be
used to set the EVAP I/M System Status display on
theTech 2 toYES.TheEVAPI/MSystem
Status display indicates whether or not the control
module has completed the readiness diagnostics. The
readiness diagnostics complete when all DTCs
comprising the diagnostics run and pass, or any DTC
comprising the diagnostics illuminates the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL). If the diagnostics pass during
one drive cycle, seventeen hours must elapse,
regardless of whether the vehicle is driven or not.
Then, the diagnostics will run again during the
next drive cycle in which the conditions for running are
met. Once the diagnostics have passed during the
third drive cycle, the EVAP I/M System Status display
will be updated to YES. A failed or aborted diagnostic
will require the vehicle to cool down in order to
meet the enable criteria for another drive cycle.
Therefore, performing a visual inspection prior to
running the EVAP test may prevent having to repeat
the drive cycle.
Conditions for Running
At least 17 hours have elapsed since the last
drive cycle met the Conditions for Running.
EngineControls-6.0LEngine
The difference between the startup engine coolant
temperature (ECT) and the startup intake air
temperature (IAT) is less than 8°C (14.4°F).
The barometric pressure (BARO) is more than
74 kPa.
The startup ECT is between 4–30°C (39–86°F).
The startup IAT is between 4–30°C (39–86°F).
The fuel level is between 15–85 percent.
The battery voltage is between 10–18 volts.
The fuel level does not increase more than
9 percent during this drive cycle.
The engine run time is at least 10 minutes.
The vehicle has been driven at least 5 km
(3.15 miles) this drive cycle.
The estimated ambient temperature at the end of
this drive cycle is between 2–32°C (36–89°F).
The shutdown ECT is at least 70°C (158°F).
The ignition is turned OFF for at least 1 hour after
this drive cycle.
Diagnostic Aids
Extreme high or low ambient temperatures may
prevent the EVAP System Tests from initiating. A loose
fuel cap may cause a test to abort or fail and prevent
the I/M System Status from updating. A failed or
aborted diagnostic will require the vehicle to cool down
in order to meet the enable criteria for another
drive cycle.
If there is an impending failure, the system may
require more time to run the diagnostic than was
allotted in the set procedure. If the diagnostic does not
run after numerous attempts and no DTC is set,
reviewtheappropriateTech 2 datalistandthe
service information. This will give an indication of why
the test does not complete. Some diagnostics may
abort due to changes in the conditions while the test is
running. For example, changes in engine load, such
as a cooling fan or an A/C compressor clutch
turning ON, may cause the diagnostic to abort.

Repair Instructions
Engine Control Module (ECM)
Replacement
Engine control module (ECM) service should normally
consist of either ECM replacement or electrically
erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM)
programming. If the diagnostic procedures require
ECM replacement, check the ECM first to see if
the correct part is being used.
Important: In order to prevent internal ECM damage,
the ignition must be OFF when you disconnect or
reconnect the power to the ECM. For example,
disconnect the power when you work with the following
components:
A battery cable
The ECM pigtail
The ECM fuse
The jumper cables
Important: When you diagnose or replace the ECM,
remove any debris from the ECM connector
surfaces before servicing the ECM module connector
gaskets. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent intrusion into the ECM.
Important: The replacement ECM MUST be
programmed.
Removal Procedure
Important: It is necessary to record the remaining
engine oil life. If the replacement module is not
programed with the remaining engine oil life, the
engine oil life will default to 100%. If the replacement
module is not programmed with the remaining
engine oil life, the engine oil will need to be changed
at 5000 km (3,000 mi) from the last engine oil
change.

and return line, if equipped, coming off the fuel rail
with
J 37287
,or
J 42964-1
, and
J 42964-2
or
J 42873-1
, and
J 42873-2
as appropriate for the
fuel system.
8. Connect the
J 35800-A
to the vehicle fuel rail.
9. Pressurize the
J 35800-A
to 510 kPa (75 psi).
10. Start and idle the engine until it stalls due to lack
of fuel. This should take approximately 15–
20 minutes.
11. Disconnect
J 35800-A
from the fuel rail.
12. Reconnect the vehicle fuel pump relay and oil
pressure switch connector, if equipped.

14. Start and idle the vehicle for an additional
2 minutes to ensure residual injector cleaner
is flushed from the fuel rail and fuel lines.
15. Repeat steps 1–5 of the Injector Balance Test,
and record the fuel pressure drop from each
injector.
16. Subtract the lowest fuel pressure drop from the
highest fuel pressure drop. If the value is
15 kPa (2 psi) or less, no additional action is
required. If the value is greater than 15 kPa (2 psi),
replace the injector with the lowest fuel
pressure drop.

Spark Plug Inspection
Spark Plug Usage
Verify that the correct spark plug is installed. An
incorrect spark plug causes driveability conditions.
Refer to
Ignition System Specifications
for the
correct spark plug.
Ensure that the spark plug has the correct heat
range. An incorrect heat range causes the
following conditions:
Spark plug fouling colder plug
Pre-ignition causing spark plug and/or engine
damage hotter plug
Spark Plug Inspection
Inspect the terminal post (1) for damage.
Inspect for a bent or broken terminal post (1).
Test for a loose terminal post (1) by
twisting and pulling the post. The
terminal post (1) should NOT move.
Inspect the insulator (2) for flashover or carbon
tracking, soot. This is caused by the electrical
charge traveling across the insulator (2) between
the terminal post (1) and ground. Inspect for
the following conditions:
Inspect the spark plug boot for damage.
Inspect the spark plug recess area of
the cylinder head for moisture, such as oil,
coolant, or water. A spark plug boot that
is saturated causes arcing to ground.

Inspect the insulator (2) for cracks. All or part of
the electrical charge may arc through the crack
instead of the electrodes (3, 4).
Inspect for evidence of improper arcing.
Measure the gap between the center
electrode (4) and the side electrode (3)
terminals. Refer to
Ignition System
Specifications
. An excessively-wide electrode
gap can prevent correct spark plug
operation.
Inspect for the correct spark plug torque.
Refer to

Insufficient torque can prevent correct spark
plug operation. An over-torqued spark
plug, causes the insulator (2) to crack.
Inspect for signs of tracking that occurred
near the insulator tip instead of the center
electrode (4).
Inspect for a broken or worn side
electrode (3).
Inspect for a broken, worn, or loose center
electrode (4) by shaking the spark plug.
A rattling sound indicates internal
damage.
A loose center electrode (4) reduces the
spark intensity.
Inspect for bridged electrodes (3, 4). Deposits
on the electrodes reduce or eliminates
the gap.
Inspect for worn or missing platinum pads on
the electrodes (3, 4), if equipped.
Inspect for excessive fouling.
Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder
head for debris. Dirty or damaged threads can
cause the spark plug not to seat correctly during
installation.
Spark Plug Visual Inspection
Normal operation Brown to grayish-tan with
small amounts of white powdery deposits are
normal combustion by-products from fuels
with additives.
622528
622527
EngineControls-6.0LEngine
Carbon Fouled Dry, fluffy black carbon, or soot
caused by the following conditions:
Rich fuel mixtures
Leaking fuel injectors
Excessive fuel pressure
Restricted air filter element
Incorrect combustion
Reduced ignition system voltage output
Weak coils
Worn ignition wires
Incorrect spark plug gap
Excessive idling or slow speeds under light
loads can keep spark plug temperatures so
low that normal combustion deposits
may not burn off.
Deposit Fouling Oil, coolant, or additives that
include substances such as silicone, very white
coating, reduces the spark intensity. Most powdery
deposits will not effect spark intensity unless
they form into a glazing over the electrode.

Description and Operation
Engine Control Module (ECM) Description
The powertrain has electronic controls to reduce
exhaust emissions while maintaining excellent
driveability and fuel economy. The engine control
module (ECM) is the control center of this system. The
ECM monitors numerous engine and vehicle
functions. The ECM constantly monitors at the
information from various sensors and other inputs, and
controls the systems that affect vehicle performance
and emissions. The ECM also performs the diagnostic
tests on various parts of the system. The ECM can
recognize operational problems and alert the driver via
the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). When the
ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM stores a
diagnostic trouble code (DTC). The problem area is
identified by the particular DTC that is set. The control
module supplies a buffered voltage to various
sensors and switches. Review the components and
wiring diagrams in order to determine which systems
are controlled by the ECM.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Operation
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located in the
instrument panel cluster. The MIL will display as
either SERVICE ENGINE SOON or one of the
following symbols when commanded ON:
SIO-ID = 801183 LMD = 02-aug-2001
The MIL indicates that an emissions related fault has
occurred and vehicle service is required.
The following is a list of the modes of operation for
the MIL:
The MIL illuminates when the ignition is turned
ON, with the engine OFF. This is a bulb test
to ensure the MIL is able to illuminate.
The MIL turns OFF after the engine is started if a
diagnostic fault is not present.
The MIL remains illuminated after the engine is
started if the control module detects a fault. A
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored any time
the control module illuminates the MIL due to
an emissions related fault. The MIL turns
OFF after three consecutive ignition cycles in
which a Test Passed has been reported for the
diagnostic test that originally caused the MIL
to illuminate.
800893
802451
EngineEngineControls-6.0L
The MIL flashes if the control module detects a
misfire condition which could damage the
catalytic converter.
When the MIL is illuminated and the engine stalls,
the MIL will remain illuminated as long as the
ignition is ON.
When the MIL is not illuminated and the engine
stalls, the MIL will not illuminate until the ignition
is cycled OFF and then ON.
Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) System
Description
Purpose
The throttle actuator control (TAC) system delivers
improved throttle response and greater reliability and
eliminates the need for mechanical cable. The
TAC system performs the following functions:
Accelerator pedal position sensing
Throttle positioning to meet driver and engine
demands
Throttle position sensing
Internal diagnostics
Cruise control functions
Manage TAC electrical power consumption
The TAC system includes the following components:
The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensors
The throttle body assembly
The engine control module (ECM)
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor
The accelerator pedal contains 2 individual APP
sensors within the assembly. The APP sensors 1 and
2 are potentiometer type sensors each with 3 circuits:
A 5-volt reference circuit
A low reference circuit
A signal circuit
The APP sensors are used to determine the pedal
angle. The ECM provides each APP sensor a
5-volt reference circuit and a low reference circuit. The
APP sensors provide the ECM with signal voltage
proportional to the pedal movement. The APP sensor 1
signal voltage at rest position is less than 1 volt and
increases to above 2.5 volts as the pedal is actuated.
The APP sensor 2 signal voltage at rest position is
near the 4 volts and decreases to less than 1 volt as
the pedal is actuated.
Throttle Body Assembly
The throttle assembly contains the following
components:
The throttle blade
The throttle actuator motor
The throttle position (TP) sensor 1 and 2
The throttle body functions similar to a conventional
throttle body with the following exceptions:
An electric motor opens and closes the
throttle valve.
The throttle blade is spring loaded in both
directions and the default position is slightly open.
There are 2 individual TP sensors within the
throttle body assembly.
The TP sensors are used to determine the throttle
plate angle. The TP sensors provide the ECM with a
signal voltage proportional to throttle plate movement.
The TP sensor 1 signal voltage at closed throttle is
above 4 volts and decreases as the throttle plate
is opened. The TP sensor 2 signal voltage at closed
throttle is below 1 volt and increases as the throttle
plate is opened.
Engine Control Module
The ECM is the control center for the TAC system.
The ECM determines the drivers intent and then
calculates the appropriate throttle response. The ECM
achieves throttle positioning by providing a pulse
width modulated voltage to the TAC motor.
Modes of Operation
Normal Mode
During the operation of the TAC system, several
modes or functions are considered normal. The
following modes may be entered during normal
operation:
Minimum pedal value—At key-up the ECM
updates the learned minimum pedal value.
Minimum TP values—At key-up the ECM updates
the learned minimum TP value. In order to learn
the minimum TP value, the throttle blade is moved
to the closed position.
Ice break mode—If the throttle is not able to reach
a predetermined minimum throttle position, the ice
break mode is entered. During the ice break
mode, the ECM commands the maximum pulse
width several times to the throttle actuator motor in
the closing direction.
Battery saver mode—After a predetermined time
without engine RPM, the ECM commands the
battery saver mode. During the battery saver
mode, the TAC module removes the voltage from
the motor control circuits, which removes the
current draw used to maintain the idle position and
allows the throttle to return to the spring loaded
default position.
Reduced Engine Power Mode
When the ECM detects a condition with the TAC
system, the ECM may enter a reduced engine power
mode. Reduced engine power may cause one or
more of the following conditions:
Acceleration limiting—The ECM will continue to
use the accelerator pedal for throttle control;
however, the vehicle acceleration is limited.
Limited throttle mode—The ECM will continue to
use the accelerator pedal for throttle control;
however, the maximum throttle opening is limited.
EngineControls-6.0LEngine
Throttle default mode—The ECM will turn off the
throttle actuator motor and the throttle will
return to the spring loaded default position.
Forced idle mode—The ECM will perform the
following actions:
Limit engine speed to idle by positioning the
throttle position, or by controlling the fuel
and spark if the throttle is turned off.
Ignore the accelerator pedal input.
Engine shutdown mode—The ECM will disable
fuel and de-energize the throttle actuator.

EngineEngineControls-6.0L
The fuel system is a returnless on-demand design.
The fuel pressure regulator is a part of the fuel sender
assembly, eliminating the need for a return pipe
from the engine. A returnless fuel system reduces the
internal temperature of the fuel tank by not returning
hot fuel from the engine to the fuel tank. Reducing the
internal temperature of the fuel tank results in lower
evaporative emissions.
Two fuel tanks store the fuel supply. An electric
turbine style fuel pump (13) attaches to the fuel sender
assembly inside the left fuel tank. The fuel pump
supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel filter (17)
and the fuel feed pipe (3) to the fuel injection
system. The fuel pump provides fuel at a higher rate
of flow than is needed by the fuel injection system. The
fuel pump also supplies fuel to the venturi pump
(14) located on the bottom of the left fuel sender
assembly. The function of the venturi pump is to fill the
fuel sender assembly reservoir (12). The primary
fuel pressure regulator (15), a part of the left
fuel sender assembly, maintains the correct fuel
pressure to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump
and sender assembly contains a reverse flow
check valve (16). The check valve, the primary fuel
pressure regulator, and the secondary fuel pressure
regulator maintain fuel pressure in the fuel feed
pipe and the fuel rail in order to prevent long
cranking times.
The fuel pump also supplies a small amount of
pressurized fuel through the auxiliary fuel feed pipe (4)
to the siphon jet pump (9) inside the right fuel tank.
The pressurized fuel creates a venturi action inside the
siphon jet pump. The venturi action causes the fuel
to be drawn out of the right fuel tank. The fuel transfers
from the right fuel tank to the left fuel tank through
the auxiliary fuel return pipe (5). The auxiliary
fuel return pipe inside the left fuel tank contains an
anti-siphon hole (11) in order to prevent fuel from
siphoning from the left fuel tank into the right fuel tank.
Both the auxiliary fuel feed pipe and the auxiliary
fuel return pipe are located inside the convoluted
stainless steel crossover hose (10).
The right fuel sender assembly contains a secondary
fuel pressure regulator (8). The secondary fuel
pressure regulator has a lower set point than the
primary regulator in order to allow fuel to flow to the
siphon jet pump on the right fuel sender. When
the engine is shut off, the pressure in the feed pipes
immediately drops to the secondary regulator set point.
This prevents the siphon jet pump from operating
and in turn prevents the equalization of the left and
right fuel tanks. The secondary fuel pressure regulator
maintains fuel pressure in the auxiliary fuel feed
pipe which reduces the time to prime the siphon jet
pump. The pressurization also reduces fuel
vaporization and boiling in the auxiliary fuel feed pipe.
Fuel Tanks
The fuel tanks (6, 8) store the fuel for the vehicle. The
fuel tanks are located on the left and right side of
the vehicle in front of the rear wheels. The fuel tanks
are molded from high density polyethylene.
Fuel Tank Fill Pipe and Hose
The fuel tank fill pipe is positioned at the rear of the
vehicle on the left side. A built in restrictor in the
fuel tank fill pipe prevents refueling with leaded fuel.
The fuel tank fill pipe connects to the left fuel tank with
a rubber hose. Fuel transfers to the right fuel tank
during fueling by a stainless steel convoluted crossover
tube/hose which connects the left fuel tank to the
right fuel tank.
Fuel Filler Cap
Notice:
Ifafueltank
filler cap requires replacement, use only a fuel
tank filler cap with the same features. Failure to use
the correct fuel tank filler cap can result in a
serious malfunction of the fuel and EVAP system.
The fuel tank filler pipe has a tethered fuel tank filler
cap. The fuel tank filler cap requires a quarter of a turn
in order to be removed. A torque limiting device
prevents the cap from being over tightened.
Fuel Sender Assembly
A fuel sender assembly is located inside each fuel
tank. The fuel sender assembly attaches to the top of
each fuel tank. The left fuel sender assembly
consists of the following major components:
The fuel level sensor
The fuel pump and reservoir assembly
The fuel pump strainer
The fuel filter (4)
The primary fuel pressure regulator (9)
The right fuel sender assembly consists of the
following major components:
The fuel level sensor (7)
The siphon jet pump (5)
The secondary fuel pressure regulator (2)
The fill limiter vent valve (FLVV)
Fuel Level Sensor
The fuel level sensor consists of a float, a wire float
arm, and a variable resistor. The position of the
float arm indicates the fuel level. The fuel level sensor
contains a variable resistor, which changes the
resistance corresponding to the amount of fuel in the
fuel tanks. The PCM uses inputs from both fuel
level sensors in order to calculate the total fuel
remaining in both fuel tanks. This information is sent
via a Class 2 message to the instrument panel
cluster (IPC) to be displayed on the fuel gage.
Fuel Pump
An electric turbine style fuel pump attaches to the fuel
sender assembly inside the left fuel tank. The fuel
pump supplies fuel to the fuel rail assembly at
a specified flow and pressure. The fuel pump delivers
a constant flow of fuel to the engine even during
low fuel conditions and aggressive vehicle maneuvers.
The PCM controls the electric fuel pump operation
through a fuel pump relay.
The fuel pump also supplies a small amount of
pressurized fuel to the right fuel tank siphon jet pump
through the auxiliary fuel feed pipe. The pressurized
fuel creates a venturi action inside the siphon jet pump.
The venturi action causes the fuel to be drawn out
of the right fuel tank. Fuel is then transferred from the
right fuel tank to the left fuel tank through the
auxiliary fuel return pipe. The fuel pump also supplies
fuel to a venturi pump located on the bottom of the
left fuel sender assembly. The function of the venturi
pump is to fill the fuel sender assembly reservoir.

Fuel Strainer
The fuel strainer is made of woven plastic. The
functions of the fuel strainer are to filter the
contaminants and to wick the fuel. The fuel strainer
attaches to the bottom of the fuel pump inside of
the fuel sender reservoir. The fuel strainer normally
requires no maintenance. Fuel stoppage at this
point indicates that the fuel tanks contain an abnormal
amount of sediment. If the fuel strainer is plugged,
refer to
Fuel System Cleaning
.
Fuel Filter
The fuel filter is contained in the fuel sender assembly
inside the left fuel tank. The paper filter element of
the fuel filter traps particles in the fuel that may
damage the fuel injection system. The fuel filter
housing is made to withstand maximum fuel system
pressure, exposure to fuel additives, and changes
in temperature. There is no service interval for
fuel filter replacement.
Primary Fuel Pressure Regulator
The primary fuel pressure regulator is contained in the
left fuel sender assembly. The fuel pressure regulator
is a diaphragm relief valve. The diaphragm has
fuel pressure on one side and regulator spring
pressure on the other side. A software bias
compensates the injector on-time because the fuel
pressure regulator is not referenced to the manifold
vacuum. The primary fuel pressure regulator
keeps fuel available to the injectors at a regulated
pressure.
Secondary Fuel Pressure Regulator
The right fuel sender assembly contains a secondary
fuel pressure regulator. The secondary fuel pressure
regulator has a lower set point than the primary
regulator in order to allow fuel to flow to the siphon jet
pump on the right fuel sender. When the engine is
shut off, the pressure in the feed pipes immediately
drops to the secondary regulator set point. This
prevents the siphon jet pump from operating and in
turn prevents the equalization of the left and right fuel
tanks. The secondary fuel pressure regulator
maintains fuel pressure in the auxiliary fuel feed pipe
which reduces the time to prime the siphon jet
pump. The pressurization also reduces fuel
vaporization and boiling in the auxiliary fuel feed pipe.
Fuel Feed and Return Pipes
The engine compartment connecting fuel pipe
connects the chassis fuel pipe to the fuel rail assembly.
The engine compartment fuel pipe is constructed of
Teflon
®
with a braided stainless steel covering.
The chassis fuel pipe is located under the vehicle on
the left side of the tunnel. The chassis fuel pipe
connects the rear fuel feed pipe from the left fuel
sender assembly to the engine compartment
connecting fuel pipe. The chassis fuel pipe is
constructed of aluminum with a plastic coating.
The rear fuel feed pipe connects the left fuel sender
fuel pipe to the chassis fuel pipe. The rear fuel
feed pipe is constructed of nylon with a covering of
heat resistant rubber hose.
The auxiliary fuel feed pipes and the auxiliary fuel
return pipes are located inside of the fuel crossover
hose and inside of each fuel tank. The fuel pump
supplies fuel through the auxiliary fuel feed pipe to the
siphon jet pump inside the right fuel tank. The
siphon jet pump transfers fuel from the right fuel tank
to the left fuel tank through the auxiliary fuel return
pipe. The return pipe feeds returning fuel from the right
fuel tank directly into the left fuel sender reservoir.
The auxiliary fuel feed and return pipes are
constructed of nylon.
The fuel tank crossover tube/hose is comprised of a
convoluted stainless steel outer tubing. The crossover
tube/hose internally houses the auxiliary fuel feed
pipe and the auxiliary fuel return pipe. The crossover
tube/hose has the following functions:
Fuel liquid and vapor transfer during refueling
High pressure siphon jet pump feed
Low pressure siphon jet pump return
Electrostatic discharge ground to body
Nylon Fuel Pipes
Caution:Inorderto
reduce the risk of fire and personal injury observe
the following items:
Replace all nylon fuel pipes that are nicked,
scratched or damaged during installation,
do not attempt to repair the sections of
the nylon fuel pipes
Do not hammer directly on the fuel harness
body clips when installing new fuel pipes.
Damage to the nylon pipes may result in
a fuel leak.
Always cover nylon vapor pipes with a wet
towel before using a torch near them. Also,
never expose the vehicle to temperatures
higher than 115°C (239°F) for more than
one hour, or more than 90°C (194°F) for any
extended period.
Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the
male pipe ends before connecting fuel pipe
fittings. This will ensure proper reconnection
and prevent a possible fuel leak. (During
normal operation, the O-rings located in the
female connector will swell and may prevent
proper reconnection if not lubricated.)
Nylon pipes are constructed to withstand maximum
fuel system pressure, exposure to fuel additives, and
changes in temperature. There are 2 sizes of nylon
fuel pipes used. A 9.53 mm (3/8 in) ID pipe is used for
the fuel feed pipe and the auxiliary fuel return pipe.
A 7.94 mm (5/16 in) ID pipe is used for the auxiliary
fuel feed pipe. Heat resistant rubber hose protects the
section of the rear fuel feed pipe that is exposed to
chafing, high temperature or vibration.
Nylon fuel pipes are somewhat flexible and can be
formed around gradual turns under the vehicle.
However, if nylon fuel pipes are forced into sharp
bends, the pipes will kink and restrict the fuel
flow. Also, once exposed to the fuel, nylon pipes may
become stiffer and are more likely to kink if bent
too far. Take special care when working on a vehicle
with nylon fuel pipes.
Quick-Connect Fittings
Quick-connect fittings provide a simplified means of
installing and connecting fuel system components. The
fittings consist of a unique female connector and a
compatible male pipe end. O-rings located inside the
female connector provide the fuel seal. Integral
locking tabs located inside the female connector hold
the fittings together.
On-Board Refueling Vapor Recovery
System (ORVR)
The on-board refueling vapor recovery system (ORVR)
is an on board vehicle system designed to recover
fuel vapors during the vehicle refueling operation. The
flow of liquid fuel down the fuel filler pipe provides
a liquid seal which prevents vapor from leaving the fuel
filler pipe. An EVAP pipe transports the fuel vapor to
the EVAP canister for use by the engine. Listed below
are the ORVR system components with a brief
description of their operation:
The EVAP canister (1)—the EVAP canister
receives refueling vapor from the fuel system,
stores the vapor and releases the vapor to
the engine upon demand.
The EVAP pipes (2)—transports fuel vapor from
the fuel tank to the EVAP canister.
The fuel filler pipe (3)—the pipe which carries fuel
from the fuel nozzle to the fuel tank.
The check valve (4)—the check valve limits fuel
“spit back” from the fuel tank during the refueling
operation by allowing fuel flow only into the
fuel tank. This check valve is located at the bottom
of the fuel filler pipe.
The modular fuel sender assembly (5)—this
assembly pumps fuel to the engine from the
fuel tank.
The fill limiter vent valve (FLVV) (6)—this valve
acts as a shut off valve. The FLVV is located
on the right fuel sender. This valve is not serviced
separately. The FLVV has the following functions:
Controls the fuel tank fill level by closing the
primary vent from the fuel tank.
Prevents the fuel from exiting the fuel tank
via the EVAP pipe to the canister.
Provides fuel-spillage protection in the event
of a vehicle rollover by closing the vapor
path from the fuel tank to the EVAP canister.
Fuel Rail Assembly
The fuel rail assembly attaches to the engine intake
manifold. The fuel rail assembly performs the following
functions:
Positions the injectors (1) in the intake manifold
Distributes the fuel evenly to the injectors
Integrates the fuel pulse dampener (2) into the
fuel metering system
178033
217109
EngineEngineControls-6.0L
Fuel Injectors
The fuel injector assembly is a solenoid device,
controlled by the PCM, that meters pressurized fuel to
a single engine cylinder. The PCM energizes the
injector solenoid to open a normally closed ball valve.
This allows the fuel to flow into the top of the
injector, past the ball valve, and through a director
plate at the injector outlet. The director plate has
machined holes that control the fuel flow, generating a
spray of finely-atomized fuel at the injector tip. Fuel
from the injector tip is directed at the intake valve,
causing the fuel to become further atomized and
vaporized before entering the combustion chamber.
This fine atomization improves fuel economy and
emissions.
Fuel Metering Modes of Operation
The PCM monitors voltages from several sensors in
order to determine how much fuel to give the
engine. The PCM controls the amount of fuel delivered
to the engine by changing the fuel injector pulse
width. The fuel is delivered under one of
several modes.
Starting Mode
When the ignition is first turned ON, the PCM
energizes the fuel pump relay for 2 seconds. This
allows the fuel pump to build pressure in the fuel
system. The PCM calculates the air/fuel ratio based
on inputs from the engine coolant temperature (ECT),
mass air flow (MAF), manifold absolute
pressure (MAP), and throttle position (TP) sensors.
The system stays in starting mode until the engine
speed reaches a predetermined RPM.
Clear Flood Mode
If the engine floods, clear the engine by pressing the
accelerator pedal down to the floor and then crank
the engine. When the TP sensor is at wide open
throttle (WOT), the PCM reduces the fuel injector pulse
width in order to increase the air to fuel ratio. The
PCM holds this injector rate as long as the throttle
stays wide open and the engine speed is below
a predetermined RPM. If the throttle is not held wide
open, the PCM returns to the starting mode.
Run Mode
The run mode has 2 conditions called Open Loop and
Closed Loop. When the engine is first started and
the engine speed is above a predetermined RPM, the
system begins Open Loop operation. The PCM
ignores the signal from the heated oxygen sensors
(HO2S). The PCM calculates the air/fuel ratio
based on inputs from the ECT, MAF, MAP, and TP
sensors. The system stays in Open Loop until meeting
the following conditions:
Both front HO2S have varying voltage output,
showing that both HO2S are hot enough to
operate properly.
The ECT sensor is above a specified temperature.
A specific amount of time has elapsed after
starting the engine.
Specific values for the above conditions exist for each
different engine, and are stored in the electrically
erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM).
The system begins Closed Loop operation after
reaching these values. In Closed Loop, the PCM
calculates the air/fuel ratio, injector ON time, based
upon the signal from various sensors, but mainly from
the HO2S. This allows the air/fuel ratio to stay very
close to 14.7:1.
Acceleration Mode
When the driver pushes on the accelerator pedal, air
flow into the cylinders increases rapidly. To prevent
possible hesitation, the PCM increases the pulse width
to the injectors to provide extra fuel during
acceleration. This is also known as power enrichment.
The PCM determines the amount of fuel required
based upon the TP, the ECT, the MAP, the MAF, and
the engine speed.
Deceleration Mode
When the driver releases the accelerator pedal, air
flow into the engine is reduced. The PCM monitors the
corresponding changes in the TP, the MAP, and the
MAF. The PCM shuts OFF fuel completely if the
deceleration is very rapid, or for long periods, such as
long, closed-throttle coast-down. The fuel shuts
OFF in order to prevent damage to the catalytic
converters.
Battery Voltage Correction Mode
When the battery voltage is low, the PCM
compensates for the weak spark delivered by the
ignition system in the following ways:
Increasing the amount of fuel delivered
Increasing the idle RPM
Increasing the ignition dwell time
Fuel Cutoff Mode
The PCM cuts OFF fuel from the fuel injectors when
the following conditions are met in order to protect the
powertrain from damage and improve driveability:
The ignition is OFF. This prevents engine run-on.
The ignition is ON but there is no ignition
reference signal. This prevents flooding or
backfiring.
The engine speed is too high, above red line.
The vehicle speed is too high, above rated
tire speed.
During an extended, high speed, closed throttle
coast down—This reduces emissions and
increases engine braking.
During extended deceleration, in order to prevent
damage to the catalytic converters
Fuel Trim
The PCM controls the air/fuel metering system in
order to provide the best possible combination
of driveability, fuel economy, and emission control.
The PCM monitors the HO2S signal voltage while in
Closed Loop and regulates the fuel delivery by
adjusting the pulse width of the injectors based on this
signal. The ideal fuel trim values are around 0 percent
for both short and long term fuel trim. A positive
fuel trim value indicates the PCM is adding fuel in
EngineControls-6.0LEngine
order to compensate for a lean condition by increasing
the pulse width. A negative fuel trim value indicates
that the PCM is reducing the amount of fuel in order to
compensate for a rich condition by decreasing the
pulse width. A change made to the fuel delivery
changes the long and short term fuel trim values. The
short term fuel trim values change rapidly in
response to the HO2S signal voltage. These changes
fine tune the engine fueling. The long term fuel trim
makes coarse adjustments to fueling in order to
re-center and restore control to short term fuel trim. A
Tech 2 canbeusedtomonitortheshortand
long term fuel trim values. The long term fuel trim
diagnostic is based on an average of several of the
long term speed load learn cells. The PCM selects the
cells based on the engine speed and engine load. If
the PCM detects an excessively lean or rich condition,
the PCM will set a fuel trim diagnostic trouble
code (DTC).
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control
System Description
EVAP System Operation
The evaporative emission (EVAP) control system limits
fuel vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. Fuel
tank vapors are allowed to move from the fuel
tank, due to pressure in the tank, through the vapor
pipe, into the EVAP canister. Carbon in the canister
absorbs and stores the fuel vapors. Excess pressure is
vented through the vent line and EVAP vent solenoid
valve to the atmosphere. The EVAP canister stores
the fuel vapors until the engine is able to use them. At
an appropriate time, the control module will command
the EVAP purge solenoid valve ON, allowing engine
vacuum to be applied to the EVAP canister. With
the EVAP vent solenoid valve OFF, fresh air is drawn
through the vent solenoid valve and the vent line to
the EVAP canister. Fresh air is drawn through
the canister, pulling fuel vapors from the carbon. The
air/fuel vapor mixture continues through the EVAP
purge pipe and EVAP purge solenoid valve into
the intake manifold to be consumed during normal
combustion. The control module uses several tests to
determine if the EVAP system is leaking.
Large Leak Test
This tests for large leaks and blockages in the
evaporative emission (EVAP) system. The control
module commands the EVAP vent solenoid valve ON
and commands the EVAP purge solenoid valve
ON, with the engine running, allowing engine vacuum
into the EVAP system. The control module monitors
the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor voltage to
verify that the system is able to reach a predetermined
level of vacuum within a set amount of time. The
control module then commands the EVAP purge
solenoid valve OFF, sealing the system, and monitors
the vacuum level for decay. If the control module
does not detect that the predetermined vacuum level
was achieved, or the vacuum decay rate is more
than a calibrated level on 2 consecutive tests,
DTC P0455 will set.
Small Leak Test
The engine off natural vacuum (EONV) diagnostic is
the small-leak detection diagnostic for the evaporative
emission (EVAP) system. While previous leak
detection methods were performed with the engine
running, the EONV diagnostic monitors the EVAP
system pressure or vacuum with the ignition OFF.
Because of this, it may be normal for the control
module to remain active for up to 40 minutes after the
ignition is turned OFF. This is important to remember
when performing a parasitic draw test on vehicles
equipped with EONV.
The EONV utilizes the temperature changes in the
fuel tank immediately following a drive cycle to use the
naturally occurring vacuum or pressure in the fuel
tank. When the vehicle is driven, the temperature rises
in the tank. After the vehicle is parked, the temperature
in the tank continues to rise for a period of time,
then starts to drop. The EONV diagnostic relies on
this temperature change and the corresponding
pressure change in a sealed system, to determine if
an EVAP system leak is present.
The EONV diagnostic is designed to detect leaks as
small as 0.51 mm (0.020 in). The diagnostic can
determine if a small leak is present based on vacuum
or pressure readings in the EVAP system. When
the system is sealed, a finite amount of pressure or
vacuum will be observed. When a 0.51 mm (0.020 in)
leak is present, often little or no pressure or vacuum
is observed. If the test reports a failing value,
DTC P0442 will set.
Canister Vent Restriction Test
If the evaporative emission (EVAP) vent system is
restricted, fuel vapors will not be properly purged from
the EVAP canister. The control module tests this by
commanding the EVAP purge solenoid valve ON,
commanding the EVAP vent solenoid valve OFF, and
monitoring the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor for
an increase in vacuum. If the vacuum increases more
than a calibrated value, DTC P0446 will set.
Purge Solenoid Valve Leak Test
If the evaporative emission (EVAP) purge solenoid
valve does not seal properly fuel vapors could
enter the engine at an undesired time, causing
driveability concerns. The control module tests for this
by commanding the EVAP purge solenoid valve
OFF and the vent solenoid valve ON, sealing the
system, and monitors the fuel tank pressure (FTP) for
an increase in vacuum. If the control module detects
that the EVAP system vacuum increases above a
calibrated value, DTC P0496 will set.
Check Gas Cap Message
The powertrain control module (PCM) sends a class 2
message to the driver information center (DIC)
illuminating the Check Gas Cap message when any of
the following occur:
A malfunction in the evaporative emission (EVAP)
system and a large leak test fails
A malfunction in the EVAP system and a small
leak test fails
EngineEngineControls-6.0L
EVAP System Components
The evaporative emission (EVAP) system consists of
the following components:
EVAP Canister
The canister is filled with carbon pellets used to
absorb and store fuel vapors. Fuel vapor is stored in
the canister until the control module determines
that the vapor can be consumed in the normal
combustion process.
EVAP Purge Solenoid Valve
The EVAP purge solenoid valve controls the flow of
vapors from the EVAP system to the intake manifold.
The purge solenoid valve opens when commanded
ON by the control module. This normally closed valve
is pulse width modulated (PWM) by the control
module to precisely control the flow of fuel vapor to
the engine. The valve will also be opened during some
portions of the EVAP testing, allowing engine
vacuum to enter the EVAP system.
EVAP Vent Solenoid Valve
The EVAP vent solenoid valve controls fresh airflow
into the EVAP canister. The valve is normally
open. The control module commands the valve ON,
closing the valve during some EVAP tests, allowing the
system to be tested for leaks.
Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor
The fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor measures the
difference between the pressure or vacuum in the fuel
tank and outside air pressure. The control module
provides a 5-volt reference and a ground to the FTP
sensor. The FTP sensor provides a signal voltage back
to the control module that can vary between 0.1–
4.9 volts. A high FTP sensor voltage indicates a low
fuel tank pressure or vacuum. A low FTP sensor
voltage indicates a high fuel tank pressure.
EVAP Service Port
The EVAP service port is located in the EVAP purge
pipe between the EVAP purge solenoid valve and
the EVAP canister. The service port is identified by a
green colored cap.
Electronic Ignition (EI) System Description
The electronic ignition (EI) system is responsible for
producing and controlling a high energy secondary
spark. This spark is used to ignite the compressed
air/fuel mixture at precisely the correct time. This
provides optimal performance, fuel economy,
and control of exhaust emissions. This ignition system
consists of a separate ignition coil connected to
each spark plug by a short secondary wire. The driver
modules within each coil assembly are commanded
ON/OFF by the engine control module (ECM).
The ECM primarily uses engine speed and position
information from the crankshaft and camshaft
position (CMP) sensors to control the sequence, dwell,
and timing of the spark event. The EI system
consists of the following components:
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is a three wire
sensor based on the magneto resistive principle.
A magneto resistive sensor uses two magnetic pickups
between a permanent magnet. As an element such
as a reluctor wheel passes the magnets the resulting
change in the magnetic field is used by the sensor
electronics to produce a digital output pulse. The ECM
supplies a 12-volt, low reference, and signal circuit
to the CKP sensor. The sensor returns a digital
ON/OFF pulse 24 times per crankshaft revolution.
Crankshaft Reluctor Wheel
The crankshaft reluctor wheel is mounted on the rear
of the crankshaft. The wheel is comprised of
four 90 degree segments. Each segment represents a
pair of cylinders at TDC, and is further divided into
six 15 degree segments. Within each 15 degree
segment is a notch of 1 of 2 different sizes. Each
90 degree segment has a unique pattern of notches.
This is known as pulse width encoding. This pulse
width encoded pattern allows the ECM to quickly
recognize which pair of cylinders are at top dead
center (TDC). The reluctor wheel is also a dual track-or
mirror image-design. This means there is an
additional wheel pressed against the first, with a gap
of equal size to each notch of the mating wheel.
When one sensing element of the CKP sensor is
reading a notch, the other is reading a set of teeth. The
resulting signals are then converted into a digital
square wave output by the circuitry within the CKP
sensor.
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
The CMP sensor is also a magneto resistive sensor,
with the same type of circuits as the CKP sensor. The
CMP sensor signal is a digital ON/OFF pulse, output
once per revolution of the camshaft. The CMP
sensor information is used by the ECM to determine
the position of the valve train relative to the CKP.
Camshaft Reluctor Wheel
The camshaft reluctor wheel is either pressed onto the
camshaft or part of the camshaft gear depending on
the application. The feature-or target- is read in a radial
or axial fashion respectively. The wheel is a smooth
track, half of which is of a lower profile than the other
half. This feature allows the CMP sensor to supply
a signal as soon as the key is turned ON, since
the CMP sensor reads the track profile, instead of
a notch.
Ignition Coils
Each ignition coil has an ignition 1 voltage feed and a
ground. The ECM supplies a low reference and an
ignition control (IC) circuit. Each ignition coil contains a
solid state driver module. The ECM will command
the IC circuit ON, this allows the current to flow
through the primary coil windings for the appropriate
time or dwell. When the ECM commands the IC circuit
OFF, this will interrupt current flow through the
primary coil windings. The magnetic field created by
EngineControls-6.0LEngine
the primary coil windings will collapse across the
secondary coil windings, which induces a high voltage
across the spark plug electrodes. The coils are
current limited to prevent overloading if the IC current
is held high too long. The spark plugs are connected
to their respective coils by a short secondary wire. The
spark plugs are tipped with iridium for long life and
efficiency.
Engine Control Module (ECM)
The ECM controls all ignition system functions, and
constantly corrects the basic spark timing. The
ECM monitors information from various sensor inputs
that include the following:
The throttle position (TP) sensor
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
The vehicle speed sensor (VSS)
The transmission gear position or range
information sensors
The engine knock sensors (KS)
Modes of Operation
There is one normal mode of operation, with the spark
under ECM control. If the CKP pulses are lost the
engine will not run. The loss of a CMP signal
may result in a longer crank time since the ECM
cannot determine which stroke the pistons are
on. Diagnostic trouble codes are available to
accurately diagnose the ignition system with a

Knock Sensor (KS) System Description
Purpose
The knock sensor (KS) system enables the control
module to control the ignition timing for the best
possible performance while protecting the engine from
potentially damaging levels of detonation. The
control module uses the KS system to test for
abnormal engine noise that may indicate detonation,
also known as spark knock.
Sensor Description
This knock sensor (KS) system uses one or two flat
response 2-wire sensors. The sensor uses
piezo-electric crystal technology that produces an AC
voltage signal of varying amplitude and frequency
based on the engine vibration or noise level. The
control module receives the KS signal through a signal
circuit. The KS ground is supplied by the control
module through a low reference circuit.
The control module learns a minimum noise level, or
background noise, at idle from the KS and uses
calibrated values for the rest of the RPM range. The
control module uses the minimum noise level to
calculate a noise channel. A normal KS signal will ride
within the noise channel. As engine speed and load
change, the noise channel upper and lower parameters
will change to accommodate the normal KS signal,
keeping the signal within the channel. In order
to determine which cylinders are knocking, the control
module only uses KS signal information when each
cylinder is near top dead center (TDC) of the
firing stroke. If knock is present, the signal will range
outside of the noise channel.
If the control module has determined that knock is
present, it will retard the ignition timing to attempt to
eliminate the knock. The control module will always try
to work back to a zero compensation level, or no
spark retard. An abnormal KS signal will stay outside
of the noise channel or will not be present. KS
diagnostics are calibrated to detect faults with the KS
circuitry inside the control module, the KS wiring,
or the KS voltage output. Some diagnostics are also
calibrated to detect constant noise from an outside
influence such as a loose/damaged component
or excessive engine mechanical noise.
Air Intake System Description
The primary function of the air intake system is to
provide filtered air to the engine. The system uses a
cleaner element mounted in a housing. The cleaner
housing is remotely mounted and uses intake ducts to
route the incoming air into the throttle body. The
secondary function of the air intake system is to muffle
air induction noise. This is achieved through the use
of resonators attached to the air intake ducts. The
resonators are tuned to the specific powertrain. The
mas air flow (MAF) sensor is used to measure
the air entering the engine.
