Diagnosis
Strategy-Based Diagnostics
Strategy-Based Diagnostics
The strategy-based diagnostic is a uniform approach to
repair all Electrical/Electronic (E/E) systems. The
diagnostic flow can always be used to resolve an E/E
system problem and is a starting point when repairs are
necessary. The following steps will instruct the
technician how to proceed with a diagnosis:
1.Verify the customer complaint.
To verify the customer complaint, the technician
should know the normal operation of the system.
2.Perform preliminary checks.
Conduct a thorough visual inspection.
Review the service history.
Detect unusual sounds or odors.
Gather diagnostic trouble code information to
achieve an effective repair.
3.Check bulletins and other service information.
This includes videos, newsletters, etc.
4.Refer to service information (manual) system
check(s).
System checks” contain information on a system
that may not be supported by one or more DTCs.
System checks verify proper operation of the
system. This will lead the technician in an
organized approach to diagnostics.
5.Refer to service diagnostics.
DTC Stored
Follow the designated DTC chart exactly to make an
effective repair.
No DTC
Select the symptom from the symptom tables. Follow
the diagnostic paths or suggestions to complete the
repair. You may refer to the applicable component/
system check in the system checks.
No Matching Symptom
1.Analyze the complaint.
2.Develop a plan for diagnostics.
3.Utilize the wiring diagrams and the theory of
operation.
Call technical assistance for similar cases where repair
history may be available. Combine technician
knowledge with efficient use of the available service
information.
Intermittents
Conditions that are not always present are called
intermittents. To resolve intermittents, perform the
following steps:
1.Observe history DTCs, DTC modes, and
freezeframe data.
2.Evaluate the symptoms and the conditions
described by the customer.
3.Use a check sheet or other method to identify the
circuit or electrical system component.
4.Follow the suggestions for intermittent diagnosis
found in the service documentation.
Most Tech 2s, such as the Tech II and the 5–8840–
0285–0 (Fluke model 87 DVOM), have data-capturing
capabilities that can assist in detecting intermittents.
No Trouble Found
This condition exists when the vehicle is found to
operate normally. The condition described by the
customer may be normal. Verify the customer
complaint against another vehicle that is operating
normally. The condition may be intermittent. Verify the
complaint under the conditions described by the
customer before releasing the vehicle.
1.Re-examine the complaint.
When the Complaint cannot be successfully found
or isolated, a re-evaluation is necessary. The
complaint should be re-verified and could be
intermittent as defined in Intermittents, or could be
normal.
2.Repair and verify.
After isolating the cause, the repairs should be
made. Validate for proper operation and verify that
the symptom has been corrected. This may involve
road testing or other methods to verify that the
complaint has been resolved under the following
conditions:
Conditions noted by the customer.
If a DTC was diagnosed, verify a repair by
duplicating conditions present when the DTC was
set as noted in the Failure Records or Freeze
Frame data.
Verifying Vehicle Repair
Verification of the vehicle repair will be more
comprehensive for vehicles with OBD system
diagnostics. Following a repair, the technician should
perform the following steps:
Important: Follow the steps below when you verify
repairs on OBD systems. Failure to follow these steps
could result in unnecessary repairs.
1. Review and record the Failure Records and the
Freeze Frame data for the DTC which has been
diagnosed (Freeze Frame data will only be stored
for an A or B type diagnostic and only if the
MIL("Check Engine" lamp) has been requested).
2. Clear the DTC(S).
3. Operate the vehicle within conditions noted in the
Failure Records and Freeze Frame data.
4. Monitor the DTC status information for the specific
DTC which has been diagnosed until the diagnostic
test associated with that DTC runs.
General Service Information
OBD Serviceablity Issues
The list of non-vehicle faults that could affect the
performance of the OBD system has been compiled.
These non-vehicle faults vary from environmental
conditions to the quality of fuel used.
The illumination of the MIL (“Check Engine”lamp) due to
a non-vehicle fault could lead to misdiagnosis of the
vehicle, increased warranty expense and customer
dissatisfaction. The following list of non-vehicle faults
does not include every possible fault and may not apply
equally to all product lines.
Fuel Quality
Using fuel with the wrong octane rating for your vehicle
may cause driveability problems. Many of the major
fuel companies advertise that using “premium” gasoline
will improve the performance of your vehicle. Most
premium fuels use alcohol to increase the octane rating
of the fuel. Although alcohol-enhanced fuels may raise
the octane rating, the fuel's ability to turn into vapor in
cold temperatures deteriorates. This may affect the
starting ability and cold driveability of the engine.
Low fuel levels can lead to fuel starvation, lean engine
operation, and eventually engine misfire.
Non-OEM Parts
All of the OBD diagnostics have been calibrated to run
with OEM parts. Something as simple as a
high-performance exhaust system that affects exhaust
system back pressure could potentially interfere with the
operation of the EGR valve and thereby turn on the MIL
(“Check Engine”lamp). Small leaks in the exhaust
system near the post catalyst oxygen sensor can also
cause the MIL (“Check Engine”lamp) to turn on.
Aftermarket electronics, such as cellular phones,
stereos, and anti-theft devices, may radiate EMI into the
control system if they are improperly installed. This may
cause a false sensor reading and turn on the MIL
(“Check Engine”lamp).
Environment
Temporary environmental conditions, such as localized
flooding, will have an effect on the vehicle ignition
system. If the ignition system is rain-soaked, it can
temporarily cause engine misfire and turn on the MIL
(“Check Engine”lamp).
Poor Vehicle Maintenance
The sensitivity of OBD diagnostics will cause the MIL
(“Check Engine”lamp) to turn on if the vehicle is not
maintained properly. Restricted air filters, fuel filters,
and crankcase deposits due to lack of oil changes or
improper oil viscosity can trigger actual vehicle faults
that were not previously monitored prior to OBD. Poor
vehicle maintenance can not be classified as
a“non-vehicle fault”, but with the sensitivity of OBD
diagnostics, vehicle maintenance schedules must be
more closely followed.
Related System Faults
Many of the OBD system diagnostics will not run if the
PCM detects a fault on a related system or component.
One example would be that if the PCM detected a
Misfire fault, the diagnostics on the catalytic converter
would be suspended until Misfire fault was repaired. If
the Misfire fault was severe enough, the catalytic
converter could be damaged due to overheating and
would never set a Catalyst DTC until the Misfire fault
was repaired and the Catalyst diagnostic was allowed to
run to completion. If this happens, the customer may
have to make two trips to the dealership in order to
repair the vehicle.
Maintenance Schedule
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule.
Visual / Physical Engine Compartment
Inspection
Perform a careful visual and physical engine
compartment inspection when performing any
diagnostic procedure or diagnosing the cause of an
emission test failure. This can often lead to repairing a
problem without further steps. Use the following
guidelines when performing a visual/physical
inspection:
Inspect all vacuum hoses for punches, cuts,
disconnects, and correct routing.
Inspect hoses that are difficult to see behind other
components.
Inspect all wires in the engine compartment for
proper connections, burned or chafed spots, pinched
wires, contact with sharp edges or contact with hot
exhaust manifolds or pipes.
Basic Knowledge of Tools Required
NOTE: Lack of basic knowledge of this powertrain
when performing diagnostic procedures could result in
an incorrect diagnosis or damage to powertrain
components. Do not attempt to diagnose a powertrain
problem without this basic knowledge.
A basic understanding of hand tools is necessary to
effectively use this section of the Service Manual.
Serial Data Communications
Class II Serial Data Communications
This vehicle utilizes the “Class II” communication
system. Each bit of information can have one of two
lengths: long or short. This allows vehicle wiring to be
reduced by transmitting and receiving multiple signals
over a single wire. The messages carried on Class II
data streams are also prioritized. If two messages
attempt to establish communications on the data line at
the same time, only the message with higher priority will
continue. The device with the lower priority message
must wait. The most significant result of this regulation
is that it provides Tech 2 manufacturers with the
capability to access data from any make or model
vehicle that is sold.
The data displayed on the other Tech 2 will appear the
same, with some exceptions. Some Tech 2s will only be
able to display certain vehicle parameters as values that
are a coded representation of the true or actual value.
For more information on this system of coding, refer to
Decimal/Binary/Hexadecimal Conversions. On this
vehicle Tech 2 displays the actual values for vehicle
parameters. It will not be necessary to perform any
conversions from coded values to actual values.
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD)
On-Board Diagnostic Tests
A diagnostic test is a series of steps, the result of which
is a pass or fail reported to the diagnostic executive.
When a diagnostic test reports a pass result, the
diagnostic executive records the following data:
The diagnostic test has been completed since the
last ignition cycle.
The diagnostic test has passed during the current
ignition cycle.
The fault identified by the diagnostic test is not
currently active.
When a diagnostic test reports a fail result, the
diagnostic executive records the following data:
The diagnostic test has been completed since the
last ignition cycle.
The fault identified by the diagnostic test is currently
active.
The fault has been active during this ignition cycle.
The operating conditions at the time of the failure.
Remember, a fuel trim DTC may be triggered by a list of
vehicle faults. Make use of all information available
(other DTCs stored, rich or lean condition, etc.) when
diagnosing a fuel trim fault.
Comprehensive Component Monitor
Diagnostic Operation
Input Components:
Input components are monitored for circuit continuity
and out-of-range values. This includes rationality
checking. Rationality checking refers to indicating a
fault when the signal from a sensor does not seem
reasonable, i.e. Throttle Position (TP) sensor that
indicates high throttle position at low engine loads or
MAP voltage. Input components may include, but are
not limited to the following sensors:
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor
Knock Sensor (KS)
Throttle Position (TP) sensor
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor
Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor
Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
In addition to the circuit continuity and rationality check,
the ECT sensor is monitored for its ability to achieve a
steady state temperature to enable closed loop fuel
control.
Output Components:
Output components are diagnosed for proper response
to control module commands. Components where
functional monitoring is not feasible will be monitored for
circuit continuity and out-of-range values if applicable.
Output components to be monitored include, but are not
limited to, the following circuits:
Idle Air Control (IAC) Motor
Electronic Transmission controls
•A/C relays
Cooling fan relay
VSS output
MIL control
Cruise control inhibit
Refer to PCM and Sensors in General Descriptions.
Passive and Active Diagnostic Tests
A passive test is a diagnostic test which simply monitors
a vehicle system or component. Conversely, an active
test, actually takes some sort of action when performing
diagnostic functions, often in response to a failed
passive test. For example, the EGR diagnostic active
test will force the EGR valve open during closed throttle
decel and/or force the EGR valve closed during a
steady state. Either action should result in a change in
manifold pressure.
Intrusive Diagnostic Tests
This is any on-board test run by the Diagnostic
Management System which may have an effect on
vehicle performance or emission levels.
Warm-Up Cycle
A warm-up cycle means that engine at temperature
must reach a minimum of 70°C (160°F) and rise at least
22°C (40°F) over the course of a trip.
Freeze Frame
Freeze Frame is an element of the Diagnostic
Management System which stores various vehicle
information at the moment an emissions-related fault is
stored in memory and when the MIL is commanded on.
These data can help to identify the cause of a fault.
Refer to Storing And Erasing Freeze Fame Data for
more detailed information.
Failure Records
Failure Records data is an enhancement of the OBD
Freeze Frame feature. Failure Records store the same
vehicle information as does Freeze Frame, but it will
store that information for any fault which is stored in
on-board memory, while Freeze Frame stores
information only for emission-related faults that
command the MIL on.
Common OBD Terms
Diagnostic
When used as a noun, the word diagnostic refers to any
on-board test run by the vehicle's Diagnostic
Management System. A diagnostic is simply a test run
on a system or component to determine if the system or
component is operating according to specification.
There are many diagnostics, shown in the following list:
Oxygen sensors
Oxygen sensor heaters
•EGR
Catalyst monitoring
Enable Criteria
The term “enable criteria” is engineering language for
the conditions necessary for a given diagnostic test to
run. Each diagnostic has a specific list of conditions
which must be met before the diagnostic will run.
“Enable criteria”is another way of saying“conditions
required”.
The enable criteria for each diagnostic is listed on the
first page of the DTC description under the
heading“Conditions for Setting the DTC”. Enable criteria
varies with each diagnostic, and typically includes, but
is not limited to the following items:
engine speed
vehicle speed
•ECT
•MAF/MAP
barometric pressure
•IAT
•TP
fuel trim
TCC enabled
•A/C on
Trip
Technically, a trip is a key on-run-key off cycle in which
all the enable criteria for a given diagnostic are met,
allowing the diagnostic to run. Unfortunately, this
concept is not quite that simple. A trip is official when all
the enable criteria for a given diagnostic are met. But
because the enable criteria vary from one diagnostic to
another, the definition of trip varies as well. Some
diagnostic are run when the vehicle is at operating
temperature, some when the vehicle first start up; some
require that the vehicle be cruising at a steady highway
speed, some run only when the vehicle is idle; some
diagnostics function with the TCC disables. Some run
only immediately following a cold engine start-up.
A trip then, is defined as a key on-run-key off cycle in
which the vehicle was operated in such a way as to
satisfy the enables criteria for a given diagnostic, and
this diagnostic will consider this cycle to be one trip.
However, another diagnostic with a different set of
enable criteria (which were not met) during this driving
event, would not consider it a trip. No trip will occur for
that particular diagnostic until the vehicle is driven in
such a way as to meet all the enable criteria.
The Diagnostic Executive
The Diagnostic Executive is a unique segment of
software which is designed to coordinate and prioritize
the diagnostic procedures as well as define the protocol
for recording and displaying their results. The main
responsibilities of the Diagnostic Executive are listed as
following:
Commanding the MIL (“Check Engine”lamp) on and
off
DTC logging and clearing
Freeze Frame data for the first emission related DTC
recorded
Non-emission related Service Lamp (future)
Operating conditions Failure Records buffer, (the
number of records will vary)
Current status information on each diagnostic
The Diagnostic Executive records DTCs and turns on
the MIL when emission-related faults occur. It can also
turn off the MIL if the conditions cease which caused
the DTC to set.
Diagnostic Information
The diagnostic charts and functional checks are
designed to locate a faulty circuit or component through
a process of logical decisions. The charts are prepared
with the requirement that the vehicle functioned
correctly at the time of assembly and that there are not
multiple faults present.
There is a continuous self-diagnosis on certain control
functions. This diagnostic capability is complemented
by the diagnostic procedures contained in this manual.
The language of communicating the source of the
malfunction is a system of diagnostic trouble codes.
When a malfunction is detected by the control module, a
diagnostic trouble code is set and the Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (MIL) (“Check Engine”lamp) is
illuminated.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) looks the same
as the MIL you are already familiar with (“Check
Engine”lamp). However, OBD requires that the it
illuminate under a strict set of guide lines.
Basically, the MIL is turned on when the PCM detects a
DTC that will impact the vehicle emissions.
The MIL is under the control of the Diagnostic
Executive. The MIL will be turned on if an
emissions-related diagnostic test indicates a
malfunction has occurred. It will stay on until the system
or component passes the same test, for three
consecutive trips, with no emissionsrelated faults.
Extinguishing the MIL
When the MIL is on, the Diagnostic Executive will turn
off the MIL after three consecutive trips that a “test
passed” has been reported for the diagnostic test that
originally caused the MIL to illuminate.
Although the MIL has been turned off, the DTC will
remain in the PCM memory (both Freeze Frame and
Failure Records) until forty(40) warm-up cycles after no
faults have been completed.
If the MIL was set by either a fuel trim or misfire-related
DTC, additional requirements must be met. In addition
to the requirements stated in the previous paragraph,
these requirements are as follows:
The diagnostic tests that are passed must occur with
375 RPM of the RPM data stored at the time the last
test failed.
Plus or minus ten (10) percent of the engine load that
was stored at the time the last failed.
Similar engine temperature conditions (warmed up or
warming up ) as those stored at the time the last test
failed.
Meeting these requirements ensures that the fault which
turned on the MIL has been corrected.
The MIL (“Check Engine”lamp) is on the instrument
panel and has the following function:
It informs the driver that a fault affects vehicle
emission levels has occurred and that the vehicle
should be taken for service as soon as possible.
As a bulb and system check, the MIL will come “ON”
with the key “ON” and the engine not running. When
the engine is started, the MIL will turn “OFF.”
When the MIL remains “ON” while the engine is
running, or when a malfunction is suspected due to a
driveability or emissions problem, a Powertrain
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD ll) System Check must be
performed. The procedures for these checks are
given in On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check.
These checks will expose faults which may not be
detected if other diagnostics are performed first.
DTC Types
Each DTC is directly related to a diagnostic test. The
Diagnostic Management System sets DTC based on
the failure of the tests during a trip or trips. Certain
tests must fail two (2) consecutive trips before the DTC
is set. The following are the four (4) types of DTCs and
the characteristics of those codes:
•Type A
Emissions related
Requests illumination of the MIL of the first trip with
a fail
Stores a History DTC on the first trip with a fail
Stores a Freeze Frame (if empty)
Stores a Fail Record
Updates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic
test fails
•Type B
Emissions related
“Armed” after one (1) trip with a fail
“Disarmed” after one (1) trip with a pass
Requests illumination of the MIL on the second
consecutive trip with a fail
Stores a History DTC on the second consecutive
trip with a fail (The DTC will be armed after the first
fail)
Stores a Freeze Frame on the second consecutive
trip with a fail (if empty)
Stores a Fail Record when the first test fails (not
dependent on consecutive trip fails)
Updates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic
test fails
Type C (if the vehicle is so equipped)
Non-Emissions related
Requests illumination of the Service Lamp or the
service message on the Drive Information Center
(DIC) on the first trip with a fail
Stores a History DTC on the first trip with a fail
Does not store a Freeze Frame
Stores Fail Record when test fails
Updates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic
test fails
•Type D (Type D non-emissions related are not
utilized on certain vehicle applications).
Non-Emissions related
Dose not request illumination of any lamp
Stores a History DTC on the first trip with a fail
Does not store a Freeze Frame
Stores Fail Record when test fails
Updates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic
test fails
Important: Only four Fail Records can be stored. Each
Fail Record is for a different DTC. It is possible that
there will not be Fail Records for every DTC if multiple
DTCs are set.
Storing and Erasing Freeze Frame Data and Failure
Records
The data captured is called Freeze Frame data. The
Freeze Frame data is very similar to a single record of
operating conditions. Whenever the MIL is illuminated,
the corresponding record of operating conditions is
recorded to the Freeze Frame buffer.
Data from these faults take precedence over data
associated with any other fault. The Freeze Frame data
will not be erased unless the associated history DTC is
cleared.
Each time a diagnostic test reports a failure, the current
engine operating conditions are recorded in the Failure
Records buffer. A subsequent failure will update the
recorded operating conditions. The following operating
conditions for the diagnostic test which failed typically
include the following parameters:
Air Fuel Ratio
Air Flow Rate
Fuel Trim
Engine Speed
Engine Load
Engine Coolant Temperature
Vehicle Speed
TP Angle
MAP/BARO
Injector Base Pulse Width
Loop Status
Intermittent Malfunction Indicator Lamp
In the case of an “intermittent fault, the MIL (“Check
Engine”lamp) may illuminate and then (after three trips)
goOFF. However, the corresponding diagnostic
trouble code will be stored in the memory. When
unexpected diagnostic trouble codes appear, check for
an intermittent malfunction.
A diagnostic trouble code may reset. Consult the
“Diagnostic Aids” associated with the diagnostic trouble
code. A physical inspection of the applicable
sub-system most often will resolve the problem.
Data Link Connector (DLC)
The provision for communication with the control
module is the Data Link Connector (DLC). The DLC is
used to connect to Tech 2. Some common uses of Tech
2 are listed below:
Identifying stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
Clearing DTCs.
Performing output control tests.
Reading serial data.
TS24064
Verifying Vehicle Repair
Verification of vehicle repair will be more
comprehensive for vehicles with OBD system
diagnostic. Following a repair, the technician should
perform the following steps:
1.Review and record the Fail Records and/or Freeze
Frame data for the DTC which has been diagnosed
(Freeze Frame data will only be stored for an A or B
type diagnostic and only if the MIL has been
requested).
2.Clear DTC(s).
3.Operate the vehicle within conditions noted in the
Fail Records and/or Freeze Frame data.
4.Monitor the DTC status information for the specific
DTC which has been diagnosed until the diagnostic
test associated with that DTC runs.
Following these steps are very important in verifying
repairs on OBD systems. Failure to follow these steps
could result in unnecessary repairs.
Reading Diagnostic Trouble Codes Using A
Tech 2
The procedure for reading diagnostic trouble code(s) is
to used a diagnostic Tech 2. When reading DTC(s),
follow instructions supplied by Tech 2 manufacturer.
Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes
Important: Do not clear DTCs unless directed to do so
by the service information provided for each diagnostic
procedure. When DTCs are cleared, the Freeze Frame
and Failure Record data which may help diagnose an
intermittent fault will also be erased from memory.
If the fault that caused the DTC to be stored into
memory has been corrected, the Diagnostic Executive
will begin to count the “warm-up” cycles with no further
faults detected, the DTC will automatically be cleared
from the PCM memory.
To clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), use the
diagnostic Tech 2“clear DTCs”. When clearing DTCs
follow instructions supplied by the tool manufacturer.
When Tech 2 is not available, DTCs can also be cleared
by disconnecting one of the following sources for at
least thirty (30) seconds.
NOTE: To prevent system damage, the ignition key
must be “OFF” when disconnecting or reconnecting
battery power.
The power source to the control module. Examples:
fuse, pigtail at battery PCM connectors etc.
The negative battery cable. (Disconnecting the
negative battery cable will result in the loss of other
on-board memory data, such as preset radio tuning).
Using Tech 2 On The Vehicle
NOTE: Due to the constant evolution of TECH 2
software, the screens shown in this section may
differ slightly from those displayed for the vehicle
being tested.
Connecting TECH 2 To The Vehicle
1. Connect Tech 2 to the vehicle DLC, with the DLC
cable and the 16/19 pin adapter.
2. Switch the unit on by pressing the power button (2).
A green light (1) should come on indicating that the
tool is receiving power.
NOTE: At this time the technician should see the Power
On Self Test (POST) run. The POST is a built in
diagnostic self test for the TECH 2 that should find most
common system faults. The POST is run on every
power up to ensure the best operation of the tool. After
the completion of the POST, the TECH 2 unit will briefly
show the POST results. If POST passes, the tool will
continue onto the title screen. If POST fails, results of all
tests will be displayed, and this should show which test
failed. POST failures may be classified as fatal or non-
fatal. A fatal error will not allow the user to continue
using the tool. Failure of the keypad would be an
example of a fatal error. Non-fatal errors found during
the POST will allow continued use of the TECH 2, but
with some limitations. If either a fatal or non-fatal error
occurs, refer to the Troubleshooting section of the
TECH 2 User's Guide.

Primary System-Based Diagnostic
Primary System-Based Diagnostic
There are primary system-based diagnostics which
evaluate system operation and its effect on vehicle
emissions. The primary system-based diagnostics are
listed below with a brief description of the diagnostic
function:
Oxygen Sensor Diagnosis
The fuel control heated oxygen sensors (Bank 1 HO2S
1 and Bank 2 HO2S 1) are diagnosed for the following
conditions:
Inactive signal (output steady at bias voltage –
approx. 450 mV)
Signal fixed high
Signal fixed low
If the oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector or terminal
are damaged, the entire oxygen sensor assembly must
be replaced. DO NOT attempt to repair the wiring,
connector or terminals. In order for the sensor to
function properly, it must have clean reference air
provided to it. This clean air reference is obtained by
way of the oxygen sensor wire(s). Any attempt to repair
the wires, connector or terminals could result in the
obstruction of the reference air and degrade oxygen
sensor performance. Refer to On-Vehicle Service,
Heated Oxygen Sensors.
Fuel Control Heated Oxygen Sensor
The main function of the fuel control heated oxygen
sensors is to provide the control module with exhaust
stream oxygen content information to allow proper
fueling and maintain emissions within mandated levels.
After it reaches operating temperature, the sensor will
generate a voltage, inversely proportional to the amount
of oxygen present in the exhaust gases. The control
module uses the signal voltage from the fuel control
heated oxygen sensors while in closed loop to adjust
fuel injector pulse width. While in closed loop, the PCM
can adjust fuel delivery to maintain an air/fuel ratio
which allows the best combination of emission control
and driveability.
HO2S Heater
Heated oxygen sensors are used to minimize the
amount of time required for closed loop fuel control to
begin operation and to allow accurate catalyst
monitoring. The oxygen sensor heater greatly
decreases the amount of time required for fuel control
sensors (Bank 1 HO2S 1 and Bank2 HO2S 1) to
become active. Oxygen sensor heaters are required to
maintain a sufficiently high temperature which allows
accurate exhaust oxygen content readings further away
from the engine.
Fuel Trim System Monitor Diagnostic
Operation
Fuel Trim System Monitor Diagnostic
Operation
This system monitors the averages of short-term and
long-term fuel trim values. If these fuel trim values stay
at their limits for a calibrated period of time, a
malfunction is indicated. The fuel trim diagnostic
compares the averages of short-term fuel trim values
and long-term fuel trim values to rich and lean
thresholds. If either value is within the thresholds, a
pass is recorded. If both values are outside their
thresholds, a rich or lean DTC will be recorded.
The fuel trim system diagnostic also conducts an
intrusive test. This test determines if a rich condition is
being caused by excessive fuel vapor from the EVAP
canister. In order to meet OBD requirements, the
control module uses weighted fuel trim cells to
determine the need to set a fuel trim DTC. A fuel trim
DTC can only be set if fuel trim counts in the weighted
fuel trim cells exceed specifications. This means that
the vehicle could have a fuel trim problem which is
causing a problem under certain conditions (i.e., engine
idle high due to a small vacuum leak or rough idle due
to a large vacuum leak) while it operates fine at other
times. No fuel trim DTC would set (although an engine
idle speed DTC or HO2S DTC may set). Use a Tech 2
to observe fuel trim counts while the problem is
occurring.
A fuel trim DTC may be triggered by a number of vehicle
faults. Make use of all information available (other
DTCs stored, rich or lean condition, etc.) when
diagnosing a fuel trim fault.
Fuel Trim Cell Diagnostic Weights
No fuel trim DTC will set regardless of the fuel trim
counts in cell 0 unless the fuel trim counts in the
weighted cells are also outside specifications. This
means that the vehicle could have a fuel trim problem
which is causing a problem under certain conditions (i.e.
engine idle high due to a small vacuum leak or rough
due to a large vacuum leak) while it operates fine at

On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check
TS321119
Circuit Description
The on-board diagnostic system check is the starting
point for any driveability complaint diagnosis. Before
using this procedure, perform a careful visual/physical
check of the PCM and engine grounds for cleanliness
and tightness.
The on-board diagnostic system check is an organized
approach to identifying a problem created by an
electronic engine control system malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection,
rubbed-through wire insulation or a wire broken inside
the insulation. Check for poor connections or a
damaged harness. Inspect the PCM harness and
connector for improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, poor
terminal-to-wire connection, and damaged harness.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart:
1. The MIL (“Check Engine”lamp) should be “ON”
steady with the ignition “ON”/engine OFF. If not,
Chart A-1 should be used to isolate the malfunction.
2. Checks the Class 2 data circuit and ensures that the
PCM is able to transmit serial data.
3. This test ensures that the PCM is capable of
controlling the MIL (“Check Engine”lamp) and the
MIL (“Check Engine”lamp) driver circuit is not
shorted to ground.
4. If the engine will not start, the Cranks But Will Not
Run chart should be used to diagnose the condition.
7. A Tech 2 parameter which is not within the typical
range may help to isolate the area which is causing
the problem.
Important: 10. This vehicle is equipped with a PCM
which utilizes an electrically erasable programmable
read only memory (EEPROM). The replacement PCM
must be programmed. Refer to Sections OC1 Service
Programming System and 11A1 6VE1 Immobiliser.

A/C Clutch Control Circuit Diagnosis
D06RW085
Circuit Description
When air conditioning and blower fan are selected, and
if the system has a sufficient refrigerant charge, a
12-volt signal is supplied to the A/C request input of the
powertrain control module (PCM). The A/C request
signal may be temporarily canceled during system
operation by the electronic thermostat in the evaporator
case. The electronic thermostat may intermittently
remove the control circuit ground for the A/C thermostat
relay to prevent the evaporator from forming ice. When
the A/C request signal is received by the PCM, the PCM
supplies a ground from the compressor clutch relay if
the engine operating conditions are within acceptable
ranges. With the A/C compressor relay energized,
voltage is supplied to the compressor clutch coil.
The PCM will enable the compressor clutch to engage
whenever A/C has been selected with the engine
running, unless any of the following conditions are
present:
The throttle is greater than 90%.
The ignition voltage is below 10.5 volts.
The engine speed is greater than 4500 RPM for 5
seconds or 5400 RPM.
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is greater
than 125 °C (257 °F).
The intake air temperature (IAT) is less than 5°C
(41°F).
The power steering pressure switch signals a
cramped position.
Diagnostic Aids
To diagnose an the intermittent fault, check for the
following conditions:
Poor connection at the PCM–Inspect connections for
backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor
terminal-to-wire connection.
Damaged harnessInspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to OK, observe the
A/C clutch while moving connectors and wiring
harnesses related to the A/C. A sudden clutch
malfunction will indicate the source of the intermittent
fault.
A/C Clutch Diagnosis
This chart should be used for diagnosing the electrical
portion of the A/C compressor clutch circuit. A Tech 2
will be used in diagnosing the system. The Tech 2 has
the ability to read the A/C request input to the PCM.
The Tech 2 can display when the PCM has commanded
the A/C clutch ON. The Tech 2 should have the ability
to override the A/C request signal and energize the A/C
compressor relay.
Test Description
Important: Do not engage the A/C compressor clutch
with the engine running if an A/C mode is not selected
at the A/C control switch.
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
Diagnostic Chart:
3. This a test determine is the problem is with the
refrigerant system. If the switch is open, A/C
pressure gauges will be used to determine if the
pressure switch is faulty or if the system is partially
discharged or empty.
4. Although the normal complaint will be the A/C clutch
failing to engage, it is possible for a short circuit to
cause the clutch to run when A/C has not been
selected. This step is a test for that condition.
7. There is an extremely low probability that both relays
will fail at the same time, so the substitution process
is one way to check the A/C Thermostat relay. Use a
known good relay to do a substitution check.
9. The blower system furnishes a ground for the A/C
control circuit, and it also shares a power source
through the Heater and A/C Relay. The blower must
beON” in order to test the A/C system.

Electronic Ignition System Diagnosis
If the engine cranks but will not run or immediately
stalls, the Engine Cranks But Will Not Start chart must
be used to determine if the failure is the ignition system
or the fuel system. If DTC P0341, or P0336 is set, the
appropriate diagnostic trouble code chart must be used
for diagnosis.
If a misfire is being experienced with no DTC set, refer
to the Symptoms section for diagnosis.
Fuel Metering System Check
Some failures of the fuel metering system will result in
an Engine Cranks But Will Not Run” symptom. If this
condition exists, refer to the Cranks But Will Not Run
chart. This chart will determine if the problem is caused
by the ignition system, the PCM, or the fuel pump
electrical circuit.
Refer to Fuel System Electrical Test for the fuel system
wiring schematic.
If there is a fuel delivery problem, refer to Fuel System
Diagnosis, which diagnoses the fuel injectors, the fuel
pressure regulator, and the fuel pump. If a malfunction
occurs in the fuel metering system, it usually results in
either a rich HO2S signal or a lean HO2S signal. This
condition is indicated by the HO2S voltage, which
causes the PCM to change the fuel calculation (fuel
injector pulse width) based on the HO2S reading.
Changes made to the fuel calculation will be indicated
by a change in the long term fuel trim values which can
be monitored with a Tech 2. Ideal long term fuel trim
values are around 0%; for a lean HO2S signal, the PCM
will add fuel, resulting in a fuel trim value above 0%.
Some variations in fuel trim values are normal because
all engines are not exactly the same. If the fuel trim
values are greater than +23%, refer to DTC P0131,
DTC P0151, DTC P0171, and DTC 1171 for items
which can cause a lean HO2S signal.
Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve
The Tech 2 displays the IAC pintle position in counts. A
count of “0” indicates the PCM is commanding the IAC
pintle to be driven all the way into a fully-seated
position. This is usually caused by a large vacuum leak.
The higher the number of counts, the more air is being
commanded to bypass the throttle blade. Refer to IAC
System Check in order to diagnose the IAC system.
Refer to Rough, Unstable, or Incorrect Idle, Stalling in
Symptoms for other possible causes of idle problems.
Fuel System Pressure Test
A fuel system pressure test is part of several of the
diagnostic charts and symptom checks. To perform this
test, refer to Fuel Systems Diagnosis.
Fuel Injector Coil Test Procedure and
Fuel Injector Balance Test Procedure

Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart:
2. Relieve the fuel pressure by connecting the
5-8840-0378-0 Fuel Pressure Gauge to the fuel
pressure connection on the fuel rail.
CAUTION: In order to reduce the risk of fire and
personal injury, wrap a shop towel around the fuel
pressure connection. The towel will absorb any
fuel leakage that occurs during the connection of
the fuel pressure gauge. Place the towel in an
approved container when the connection of the fuel
pressure gauge is complete.
Place the fuel pressure gauge bleed hose in an
approved gasoline container.
With the ignition switch “OFF,” open the valve on the
fuel pressure gauge.
3. Record the lowest voltage displayed by the DVM
after the first second of the test. (During the first
second, voltage displayed by the DVM may be
inaccurate due to the initial current surge.)
Injector Specifications:
The voltage displayed by the DVM should be
within the specified range.
The voltage displayed by the DVM may increase
throughout the test as the fuel injector windings
warm and the resistance of the fuel injector
windings changes.
An erratic voltage reading (large fluctuations in
voltage that do not stabilize) indicates an
intermittent connection within the fuel injector.

displays are described as follows:
Knock Retard” indicates the number of degrees that
the spark timing is being retarded due to a knock
condition.
KS Noise Channel indicates the current voltage
level being monitored on the noise channel.
DTCs P0325 and P0327 are designed to diagnose the
KS module, the knock sensor, and the related wiring.
The problems encountered with the KS system should
set a DTC. However, if no DTC was set but the KS

Important: Use of a Tech 2 is recommended to clear
diagnostic trouble codes from the PCM memory.
Diagnostic trouble codes can also be cleared by turning
the ignition “OFF” and disconnecting the battery power
from the PCM for 30 seconds. Turning off the ignition
and disconnecting the battery power from the PCM will
cause all diagnostic information in the PCM memory to
be cleared. Therefore, all the diagnostic tests will have
to be re-run.
Since the PCM can have a failure which may affect only
one circuit, following the diagnostic procedures in this
section will determine which circuit has a problem and
where it is.
If a diagnostic chart indicates that the PCM connections
or the PCM is the cause of a problem, and the PCM is
replaced, but this does not correct the problem, one of
the following may be the reason:
There is a problem with the PCM terminal
connections. The terminals may have to be removed
from the connector in order to check them properly.
The problem is intermittent. This means that the
problem is not present at the time the system is being
checked. In this case, refer to the Symptoms portion
of the manual and make a careful physical inspection
of all component and wiring associated with the
affected system.
There is a shorted solenoid, relay coil, or harness.
Solenoids and relays are turned “ON” and “OFF by
the PCM using internal electronic switches called
drivers. A shorted solenoid, relay coil, or harness will
not damage the PCM but will cause the solenoid or
relay to be inoperative.
Multiple PCM Information Sensor
DTCS Set
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors various
sensors to determine the engine operating conditions.
The PCM controls fuel delivery, spark advance,
transmission operation, and emission control device
operation based on the sensor inputs.
The PCM provides a sensor ground to all of the
sensors. The PCM applies 5 volts through a pull-up
resistor, and determines the status of the following
sensors by monitoring the voltage present between the
5-volt supply and the resistor:
The engine coolant temperature (ETC) sensor
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
The transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor
The PCM provides the following sensors with a 5-volt
reference and a sensor ground signal:
The exhaust gas recirculating (EGR) pintle position
sensor
The throttle position (TP) sensor
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
The PCM monitors the separate feedback signals from
these sensors in order to determine their operating
status.
Diagnostic Aids
Important: Be sure to inspect PCM and engine
grounds for being secure and clean.
A short to voltage in one of the sensor input circuits may
cause one or more of the following DTCs to be set:
P0108
P0113
P0118
P0123
P0560
P0712

Engine Tech 2 Data Definitions and
Ranges
A/C CLUTCH – Tech 2 Displays ON or OFF –
Indicates whether the PCM has commanded the A/C
clutch ON. Used in A/C system diagnostic.
A/C REQUEST — Tech 2 Displays YES or NO —
Indicates the state of the A/C request input circuit from
the HVAC controls. The PCM uses the A/C request
signal to determine whether A/C compressor operation
is being requested.
AIR/FUEL RATIO — Tech 2 Range 0.0-25.5 —
Air/fuel ratio indicates the PCM commanded value. In
closed loop, the air/fuel ratio should normally be
displayed around “14.2-14.7.” A lower air/fuel ratio
indicates a richer commanded mixture, which may be
seen during power enrichment or TWC protection
modes. A higher air/fuel ratio indicates a leaner
commanded mixture. This can be seen during
deceleration fuel mode.
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE — Tech 2 Range 10-105
kPa/0.00-5.00 Volts —
The barometric pressure reading is determined from the
MAP sensor signal monitored during key up and wide
open throttle (WOT) conditions. The barometric
pressure is used to compensate for altitude differences
and is normally displayed around “61-104” depending
on altitude and barometric pressure.
CHECK TRANS LAMP — AUTO TRANSMISSION —
Indicates the need to check for a DTC with the Tech 2
when the lamp is flashing 0.2 seconds ON and 0.2
seconds OFF.
CMP ACT. COUNTER – Cam Position Activity
DECEL FUEL MODE — Tech 2 Display ACTIVE or
INACTIVE —
“ACTIVE” displayed indicates that the PCM has
detected conditions appropriate to operate in
deceleration fuel mode. The PCM will command the
deceleration fuel mode when it detects a closed throttle
position while the vehicle is traveling over 20 mph.
While in the deceleration fuel delivered by entering
open loop and decreasing the injector pulse width.
DESIRED EGR POS. — Tech 2 Range 0%-100% —
Represents the EGR pintle position that the PCM is
commanding.
DESIRED IDLE — Tech 2 Range 0-3187 RPM
The idle speed that the PCM is commanding. The PCM
will compensate for various engine loads based on
engine coolant temperature, to keep the engine at the
desired speed.
ECT — (Engine Coolant Temperature) Tech 2 Range
–40°C to 151°C (–40°F to 304°F) —
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is mounted in
the coolant stream and sends engine temperature
information to the PCM. The PCM applies 5 volts to the
ECT sensor circuit. The sensor is a thermistor which
changes internal resistance as temperature changes.
When the sensor is cold (high resistance), the PCM
monitors a high signal voltage and interprets that as a
cold engine. As the sensor warms (decreasing
resistance), the voltage signal will decrease and the
PCM will interpret the lower voltage as a warm engine.
EGR DUTY CYCLE — Tech 2 Range 0%-100% —
Represents the EGR valve driver PWM signal from the
PCM. A duty cycle of 0% indicates that no EGR flow is
being commanded; a 100% duty cycle indicates
maximum EGR flow commanded.
EGR FEEDBACK — Tech 2 Range 0.00-5.00 Volts —
Indicates the EGR pintle position sensor signal voltage
being monitored by the PCM. A low voltage indicates a
fully extended pintle (closed valve); a voltage near 5
volts indicates a retracted pintle (open valve).
ENGINE LOAD — Tech 2 Range 0%-100% —
Engine load is calculated by the PCM from engine
speed and MAF sensor readings. Engine load should
increase with an increase in RPM or air flow.
ENGINE RUN TIME — Tech 2 Range
00:00:00-99:99:99 Hrs:Min:Sec
Indicates the time elapsed since the engine was started.
If the engine is stopped, engine run time will be reset to
00:00:00.
ENGINE SPEED — Range 0-9999 RPM
Engine speed is computed by the PCM from the 58X
reference input. It should remain close to desired idle
under various engine loads with engine idling.
FUEL PUMP — Tech 2 Displays ON or OFF
Indicates the PCM commanded state of the fuel pump
relay driver circuit.
FUEL TRIM CELL — Tech 2 Range 0-21 —
The fuel trim cell is dependent upon engine speed and
MAF sensor readings. A plot of RPM vs. MAF is
divided into 22 cells. Fuel trim cell indicates which cell
is currently active.
FUEL TRIM LEARN — Tech 2 Displays NO or YES —
When conditions are appropriate for enabling long term
fuel trim corrections, fuel trim learn will display “YES.”
This indicates that the long term fuel trim is responding
to the short term fuel trim. If the fuel trim learn displays
“NO,” then long term fuel trim will not respond to
changes in short term fuel trim.
HO2S BANK 1, SEN. 1 — Tech 2 Range 0-1132 mV —
Represents the fuel control exhaust oxygen sensor
output voltage. Should fluctuate constantly within a
range between 10 mV (lean exhaust) and 1000 mV (rich
exhaust) while operating in closed loop.
HO2S BANK2, SEN. 1—Tech 2 Range 0-1132 mV—
Represents the fuel control exhaust oxygen sensor
output voltage. Should fluctuate constantly within a
range between 10mV (lean exhaust) and 1000 mV (rich
exhaust) while operating in closed loop.
HO2S BANK 1, SEN. 1—Tech 2 Displays NOT
READY or READY—
Indicates the status of the exhaust oxygen sensor. The
Tech 2 will indicate that the exhaust oxygen sensor is
ready when the PCM detects a fluctuating HO2S
voltage sufficient to allow closed loop operation. This
will not occur unless the exhaust oxygen sensor is
warmed up.
HO2S BANK 2, SEN. 1 — Tech 2 Displays NOT
READY or READY —
Indicates the status of the exhaust oxygen sensor. The
Tech 2 will indicate that the exhaust oxygen sensor is
ready when the PCM detects a fluctuating HO2S
voltage sufficient to allow closed loop operation. This
will not occur unless the exhaust oxygen sensor is
warmed up.
HO2S WARM UP TIME BANK 1, SEN. 1/BANK 2 SEN.
1 — Tech 2 Range 00:00:00-99:99:99 HRS:MIN:SEC
Indicates warm-up time for each HO2S. The HO2S
warm-up time is used for the HO2S heater test. The
PCM will run the heater test only after a cold start
(determined by engine coolant and intake air
temperature at the time of start-up) and only once
during an ignition cycle. When the engine is started the
PCM will monitor the HO2S voltage. When the HO2S
voltage indicates a sufficiently active sensor, the PCM
looks at how much time has elapsed since start-up. If
the PCM determines that too much time was required
for the HO2S to become active, a DTC will set. If the
engine was warm when started, HO2S warm-up will the
display“00:00:00”.
IAC POSITION — Tech 2 Range 0-255 Counts
Displays the commanded position of the idle air control
pintle in counts. A larger number of counts means that
more air is being commanded through the idle air
passage. Idle air control should respond fairly quickly to
changes in engine load to maintain desired idle RPM.
IAT (INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE) — Tech 2 Range
40°C to 151°C (–40°F to 304°F) —
The PCM converts the resistance of the intake air
temperature sensor to degrees. Intake air temperature
(IAT) is used by the PCM to adjust fuel delivery and
spark timing according to incoming air density.
IGNITION 1 — Tech 2 Range 0-25.5 Volts —
This represents the system voltage measured by the
PCM at its ignition feed.
INJ. PULSE BANK 1/INJ. PULSE BANK 2 — Tech 2
Range 0-1000 msec. —
Indicates the amount of time the PCM is commanding
each injector “ON” during each engine cycle. A longer
injector pulse width will cause more fuel to be delivered.
Injector pulse width should increase with increased
engine load.
KS NOISE CHANNEL (Knock Sensor) —
Indicates the output from the KS noise channel. There
is always some electrical noise in an engine
compartment and to avoid mistaking this as engine
knock, the output from the knock sensor is compared to
the output from the noise channel. A knock condition is
not set unless t he knock sensor output is greater than
the noise channel output.
LONG TERM FUEL TRIM BANK 1/BANK 2
The long term fuel trim is derived from the short term
fuel trim values and represents a long term correction of
fuel delivery for the bank in question. A value of 0%
indicates that fuel delivery requires no compensation to
maintain the PCM commanded air/fuel ratio. A negative
value significantly below 0% indicates that the fuel
system is rich and fuel delivery is being reduced
(decreased injector pulse width). A positive value
significantly greater than 0% indicates that a lean
condition exists and the PCM is compensating by
adding fuel (increased injector pulse width). Because
long term fuel trim tends to follow short term fuel trim, a
value in the negative range due to canister purge at idle
should not be considered unusual. Fuel trim values at
maximum authority may indicate an excessively rich or
lean system.
LOOP STATUS — Tech 2 Displays OPEN or CLOSED
“CLOSED” indicates that the PCM is controlling fuel
delivery according to oxygen sensor voltage. In “OPEN
the PCM ignores the oxygen sensor voltage and bases
the amount of fuel to be delivered on TP sensor, engine
coolant, and MAF sensor inputs only.
MAF — Tech 2 Range 0.0-512 gm/s —
MAF (mass air flow) is the MAF input frequency
converted to grams of air per second. This indicates the
amount of air entering the engine.
MAP — Tech 2 Range 10-105 kPa (0.00-4.97 Volts) —
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
measures the change in the intake manifold pressure
from engine load, EGR flow, and speed changes. As
intake manifold pressure increases, intake vacuum
decreases, resulting in a higher MAP sensor voltage
and kPa reading. The MAP sensor signal is used to
monitor intake manifold pressure changes during the
EGR flow test, to update the BARO reading, and as an
enabling factor for several of the diagnostics.
MIL — Tech 2 Displays ON or OFF —
Indicates the PCM commanded state of the malfunction
indicator lamp.
POWER ENRICHMENT Tech 2 Displays ACTIVE
or INACTIVE
ACTIVE displayed indicates that the PCM has
detected conditions appropriate to operate in power
enrichment mode. The PCM will command power
enrichment mode when a large increase in throttle
position and load is detected. While in power
enrichment mode, the PCM will increase the amount of
fuel delivered by entering open loop and increasing the
injector pulse width. This is done to prevent a possible
sag or hesitation from occurring during acceleration.
SPARK Tech 2 Range –64° to 64°
Displays the amount of spark advance being
commanded by the PCM on the IC circuit.
START-UP ECT Tech 2 Range –40°C to 151°C (–
40°F to 304°F)
Indicates the engine coolant temperature at the time
that the vehicle was started. Used by the HO2S
diagnostic to determine if the last start-up was a cold
start.
START-UP IATTech 2 Range 40°C to 151°C (–
40°F to 304°F)
Indicates the intake air temperature at the time that the
vehicle was started. Used by the HO2S diagnostic to
determine if the last start-up was a cold start.
TP Tech 2 Range 0%-100%
TP (throttle position) angle is computed by the PCM
from the TP sensor voltage. TP angle should display
“0% at idle and “100% at wide open throttle.
TP SENSOR Tech 2 Range 0.00-5.00 Volts
The voltage being monitored by the PCM on the TP
sensor signal circuit.
CATALYST PROTECTION MODE Tech 2 Displays
YES or NO
YES displayed indicates that the PCM has detected
conditions appropriate to operate in TWC protection
mode. The PCM will decrease the air/fuel ratio to a
value that depends on mass air flow (higher mass air
flow = lower air/fuel ratio).
UPSHIFT LAMP (MANUAL TRANSMISSION)
VEHICLE SPEED Tech 2 Range 0-255 km/h (0-155
mph)
The vehicle speed sensor signal is converted into km/h
and mph for display.
WEAK CYLINDER Tech 2 Displays Cylinder
Number
This indicates that the PCM has detected crankshaft
speed variations that indicate 2% or more cylinder firing
events are misfires.
Typical Scan Data Values
Use the Typical Scan Data Values Table only after the
On-Board Diagnostic System Check has been
completed, no DTC(s) were noted, and you have
determined that the on-board diagnostics are
functioning properly. Tech 2 values from a
properly-running engine may be used for comparison
with the engine you are diagnosing. The typical scan
data values represent values that would be seen on a
normally-running engine.
NOTE: A Tech 2 that displays faulty data should not be
used, and the problem should be reported to the Tech 2
manufacturer. Use of a faulty Tech 2 can result in
misdiagnosis and unnecessary replacement of parts.
Only the parameters listed below are referred to in this
service manual for use in diagnosis. For further
information on using the Tech 2 to diagnose the PCM
and related sensors, refer to the applicable reference
section listed below. If all values are within the typical
range described below, refer to the Symptoms section
for diagnosis.

No Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
D06RW00006
Circuit Description
The Check Engine lamp (MIL) should always be
illuminated and steady with the ignition “ON” and the
engine stopped. Ignition feed voltage is supplied to the
MIL bulb through the meter fuse. The powertrain
control module (PCM) turns the MIL ON” by grounding
the MIL driver circuit.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent MIL may be cased by a poor connection,
rubbed-through wire insulation, or a wire broken inside
the insulation. Check for the following items:
Inspect the PCM harness and connections for
improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or
damaged terminals, poor terminal-to-wire connection,
and damaged harness.
If the engine runs OK, check for a faulty light bulb, an
open in the MIL driver circuit, or an open in the
instrument cluster ignition feed.
If the engine cranks but will not run, check for an
open PCM ignition or battery feed, or a poor PCM to
engine ground.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
2. A “No MIL” condition accompanied by a no-start
condition suggests a faulty PCM ignition feed or
battery feed circuit.
9. Using a test light connected to B+, probe each of the
PCM ground terminals to ensure that a good ground
is present. Refer to PCM Terminal End View for
terminal locations of the PCM ground circuits.
12. In this step, temporarily substitute a known good
relay for the PCM relay. The horn relay is nearby,

Engine Cranks But Will Not Run
D06RX0 0004
Circuit Description
The electronic Ignition system uses a coil-at-plug
method of spark distribution. In this type of ignition
system, the powertrain control module (PCM) triggers
the correct driver inside the ignition coil, which then
triggers the correct ignition coil based on the 58X signal
received from the crankshaft position sensor (CKP).
The spark plug connected to the coil fires when the ICM
opens the ground circuit for the coil's primary circuit.
During crank, the PCM monitors the CKP 58X signal.
The CKP signal is used to determine which cylinder will
fire first. After the CKP 58X signal has been processed
by the PCM, it will command all six injectors to allow a
priming shot of fuel for all the cylinders. After the
priming, the injectors are left “OFF during the next six
58X reference pulses from the CKP. This allows each
cylinder a chance to use the fuel from the priming shot.
During this waiting period, a camshaft position (CMP)
signal pulse will have been received by the PCM. The
CMP signal allows the PCM to operate the injectors
sequentially based on camshaft position. If the
camshaft position signal is not present at start-up, the
PCM will begin sequential fuel delivery with a 1-in-6
chance that fuel delivery is correct. The engine will run
without a CMP signal, but will set a DTC code.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent problem may be caused by a poor
connection, rubbed-through wire insulation or a wire
broken inside the insulation. Check for the following
items:
Poor connection or damaged harness Inspect the
PCM harness and connectors for improper mating,
broken locks, improperly formed or damaged
terminals, poor terminal-to-wire connection, and
damaged harness.
Faulty engine coolant temperature sensor – Using
Tech 2, compare engine coolant temperature with
intake air temperature on a completely cool engine.
Engine coolant temperature should be within 10°C of
intake air temperature. If not, replace the ECT
sensor.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
5. An obvious cause of low fuel pressure would be an
empty fuel tank.
6. The engine will easily start and run if a few injectors
are disabled. It is not necessary to test all injectors
at this time since this step is only a test to verify that
all of the injectors have not been disabled by fuel
contamination.
7. A blinking test light verifies that the PCM is
monitoring the 58X crankshaft reference signal and
is capable of activating the injectors. If there is an
open or shorted driver circuit, DTCs 201-206 should
be set.
19. By using a spark tester, each ignition coil's ability to
produce 25,000 volts is verified.
25. If there is an open or shorted driver circuit, DTCs
201-206 should be set. All six injector driver circuits
can be checked at one time without removing the
intake manifold if a 5-8840-2636-0 test light is
available. This is the alternative procedure:
With the ignition “OFF, disconnect the gray
connector located at the rear of the air filter,
attached to a bracket on the purge canister.
Connect test light 5-8840-2636-0 to the connector.
Do any of the light constantly illuminate or fail to
blink when the engine is cranked? If so, repair the
short or open circuit, or replace the PCM if
indicated.
This procedure only tests the driver circuit as far as the
test connection, so step 31 is added to test the circuit all
the way to the injector.

Fuel System Electrical Test
D06RW101
Circuit Description
When the ignition switch is first turned “ON,” the
powertrain control module (PCM) energizes the fuel
pump relay which applies power to the in-tank fuel
pump. The fuel pump relay will remain “ON” as long as
the engine is running or cranking and the PCM is
receiving 58X crankshaft position pulses. If no 58X
crankshaft position pulses are present, the PCM
de-energizes the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds after
the ignition is turned “ON” or the engine is stopped.
The fuel pump delivers fuel to the fuel rail and injectors,
then to the fuel pressure regulator. The fuel pressure
regulator controls fuel pressure by allowing excess fuel
to be returned to the fuel tank. With the engine stopped
and ignition “ON,” the fuel pump can be turned “ON” by
using a command by Tech 2.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection,
rubbed-through wire insulation, or a wire broken inside
the insulation. Check for the following items:
Poor connection or damaged harness – Inspect the
PCM harness and connectors for improper mating,
broken locks, improperly formed or damaged
terminals, poor terminal-to-wire connection, and
damaged harness.

Circuit Description
When the ignition switch is turned “ON,” the powertrain
control module (PCM) will turn “ON” the in-tank fuel
pump. The in-tank fuel pump will remain “ON” as long
as the engine is cranking or running and the PCM is
receiving 58X crankshaft position pulses. If there are no
58X crankshaft position pulses, the PCM will turn the
in-tank fuel pump “OFF” 2 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned “ON” or 2 seconds after the engine
stops running.
The in-tank fuel pump is an electric pump within an
integral reservoir. The in-tank fuel pump supplies fuel
through an in-line fuel filter to the fuel rail assembly.
The fuel pump is designed to provide fuel at a pressure
above the pressure needed by the fuel injectors. A fuel
pressure regulator, attached to the fuel rail, keeps the
fuel available to the fuel injectors at a regulated
pressure. Unused fuel is returned to the fuel tank by a
separate fuel return line.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
2. Connect the fuel pressure gauge to the fuel feed line
as shown in the fuel system illustration. Wrap a
shop towel around the fuel pressure connection in
order to absorb any fuel leakage that may occur
when installing the fuel pressure gauge. With the
ignition switch “ON” and the fuel pump running, the
fuel pressure indicated by the fuel pressure gauge
should be 333-376kPa (48-55psi). This pressure is
controlled by the amount of pressure the spring
inside the fuel pressure regulator can provide.

pressure has a leak in one or more of the following
areas:
The fuel pump check valve.
The fuel pump flex line.
The valve or valve seat within the fuel pressure
regulator.
The fuel injector(s).
4. Fuel pressure that drops off during acceleration,
cruise, or hard cornering may case a lean condition.
A lean condition can cause a loss of power, surging,
or misfire. A lean condition can be diagnosed using
a Tech II Tech 2. If an extremely lean condition
occurs, the oxygen sensor(s) will stop toggling. The
oxygen sensor output voltage(s) will drop below 500
mV. Also, the fuel injector pulse width will increase.
Important: Make sure the fuel system is not operating
in the Fuel Cut-Off Mode.
When the engine is at idle, the manifold pressure is
low (high vacuum). This low pressure (high vacuum)
is applied to the fuel pressure regulator diaphragm.
The low pressure (high vacuum) will offset the
pressure being applied to the fuel pressure regulator
diaphragm by the spring inside the fuel pressure
regulator. When this happens, the result is lower
fuel pressure. The fuel pressure at idle will vary
slightly as the barometric pressure changes, but the
fuel pressure at idle should always be less than the
fuel pressure noted in step 2 with the engine “OFF.
16. Check the spark plug associated with a particular
fuel injector for fouling or saturation in order to
determine if that particular fuel injector is leaking. If
checking the spark plug associated with a particular
fuel injector for fouling or saturation does not
determine that a particular fuel injector is leaking,
use the following procedure:
Remove the fuel rail, but leave the fuel lines and
injectors connected to the fuel rail. Refer to Fuel
Rail Assembly in On-Vehicle Service.
Lift the fuel rail just enough to leave the fuel
injector nozzles in the fuel injector ports.
CAUTION: In order to reduce the risk of fire and
personal injury that may result from fuel spraying
on the engine, verify that the fuel rail is positioned
over the fuel injector ports and verify that the fuel
injector retaining clips are intact.
Pressurize the fuel system by connecting a 10
amp fused jumper between B+ and the fuel pump
relay connector.
Visually and physically inspect the fuel injector
nozzles for leaks.
17. A rich condition may result from the fuel pressure
being above 376kPa (55psi). A rich condition may
cause a DTC P0132 or a DTC P0172 to set.
Driveability conditions associated with rich
conditions can include hard starting (followed by
black smoke) and a strong sulfur smell in the
exhaust.
20. This test determines if the high fuel pressure is due
to a restricted fuel return line or if the high fuel
pressure is due to a faulty fuel pressure regulator.
21. A lean condition may result from fuel pressure below
333kPa (48psi). A lean condition may cause a DTC
P0131 or a DTC P0171 to set. Driveability
conditions associated with lean conditions can
include hard starting (when the engine is cold ),
hesitation, poor driveability, lack of power, surging ,
and misfiring.
22. Restricting the fuel return line causes the fuel
pressure to rise above the regulated fuel pressure.
Command the fuel pump ON” with Tech 2. The fuel
pressure should rise above 376kPa (55psi) as the
fuel return line becomes partially closed.
NOTE: Do not allow the fuel pressure to exceed
414kPa (60psi). Fuel pressure in excess of 414kPa
(60psi) may damage the fuel pressure regulator.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire and personal
injury:
It is necessary to relieve fuel system pressure
before connecting a fuel pressure gauge. Refer
to Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure, below.
A small amount of fuel may be released when

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

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

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System Check
D06RW106
Circuit Description
A properly operation exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
system will directly affect the air/fuel requirements of the
engine. Since the exhaust gas introduced into the air/
fuel mixture is an inert gas (contains very little or no
oxygen), less fuel is required to maintain a correct air/
fuel ratio.
Introducing exhaust gas into the combustion chamber
lowers combustion temperatures and reduces the
formation of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the exhaust
gas. Lower combustion temperatures also prevent
detonation.
If the EGR pintle were to stay closed, the inert exhaust
gas would be replaced with air and the air/fuel mixture
would be leaner. The powertrain control module (PCM)
would compensate for the lean condition by adding fuel,
resulting in higher long term fuel trim values.
Diagnostic Aids
The EGR valve chart is a check of the EGR system. An
EGR pintle constantly in the closed position could cause
detonation and high emissions of NOx. It could also
result in high long term fuel trim values in the open
throttle cell, but not in the closed throttle cell. An EGR
pintle constantly in the open position would cause a
rough idle. Also, an EGR mounted incorrectly (rotated
180°) could cause rough idle. Check for the following
items:
EGR passages Check for restricted or blocked
EGR passages.
Manifold absolute pressure sensor A manifold
absolute pressure sensor may shift in calibration

Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Output Check
D06RW102
Circuit Description
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
measures the changes in the intake MAP which result
from engine load (intake manifold vacuum) and engine
speed changes; and converts these into a voltage
output. The powertrain control module (PCM) sends a
5-volt reference voltage to the MAP sensor. As the
MAP changes, the output voltage of the sensor also
changes. By monitoring the the sensor output voltage,
the PCM knows the MAP. A lower pressure (low
voltage) output voltage will be about 1-2 volts at idle.
Higher pressure (high voltage) output voltage will be
about 4-4.8 volts at wide open throttle. The MAP sensor
is also used, under certain conditions, to measure
barometric pressure, allowing the PCM to make
adjustments for different altitudes. The PCM uses the
MAP sensor to diagnose proper operation of the EGR
system, in addition to other functions.
Test Description
Important: Be sure to used the same diagnostic test
equipment for all measurements.
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
2. Applying 34 kPa (10 Hg) vacuum to the MAP sensor
should cause the voltage to be 1.5-2.1 volts less
than the voltage at step 1. Upon applying vacuum
to the sensor, the change in voltage should be
instantaneous. A slow voltage change indicates a
faulty sensor.
3. Check the vacuum hose to the sensor for leaking or
restriction, Be sure that no other vacuum devices
are connected to the MAP hose.
Important: Make sure the electrical connector remains
securely fastened.
4. Disconnect the sensor from the bracket. Twist the
sensor with your hand to check for an intermittent
connection. Output changes greater than 0.10 volt

PCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0101 MAF System Performance
D06RW103
Circuit Description
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the amount
of air which passes through it into the engine during a
given time. The powertrain control module (PCM) uses
the mass air flow information to monitor engine
operating conditions for fuel delivery calculations. A
large quantity of air entering the engine indicates an
acceleration or high load situation, while a small
quantity or air indicates deceleration or idle.
The MAF sensor produces a frequency signal which
can be monitored using a Tech 2. DTC P0101 will be
set if the signal from the MAF sensor does not match a
predicted value based on throttle position and engine
RPM.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The engine is running.
No TP sensor or MAP sensor DTCs are set.
The throttle is steady, TP angle doesn't change by
more than 1%.
System voltage is between 11.5 volts and 16 volts.
Calculated air flow is between 25 g/second and 40 g/
second.
Above conditions present for at least 1 second.
MAF signal frequency indicates an airflow
significantly higher or lower than a predicted value
based on throttle position and engine RPM for a total
of 12.5 seconds over a 25-second period of time.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) after the second consecutive trip in which
the fault is detected.
The PCM calculates an airflow value based on idle air
control valve position, throttle position, RPM and
barometric pressure.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0101 can be cleared by using the Tech 2
“Clear Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM
battery feed.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent may be caused by the following:
Poor connections.
Mis-routed harness.
Rubbed through wire insulation.
Broken wire inside the insulation.
Refer to Intermittents under service category
Symptoms.
Any un-metered air may cause this DTC to set. Check
for the following:
The duct work at the MAF sensor for leaks.
An engine vacuum leak.
The PCV system for vacuum leaks.
An incorrect PCV valve.
The engine oil dip stick not fully seated.
The engine oil fill cap loose or missing.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
2. The MAF system performance or “rationality
diagnostic uses the MAP sensor signal along with
other input to calculate an expected airflow rate that
is then compared to the actual measured airflow
from the MAF sensor. The first few steps of this
table verify that the MAP sensor is working properly.
6. Using Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data
may aid in locating an intermittent condition. If the
DTC cannot be duplicated, the information included
in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data
can be useful in determining how many miles since
the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass Counter
can also be used to determine how many ignition
cycles the diagnostic reported a pass and/or a fail.
Operate the vehicle within the same Freeze Frame
conditions (RPM, load, vehicle speed , temperature,
etc.) that were noted. This will isolate when the DTC
failed.
For any test that requires back probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the Connector
Test Adapter Kit J 35616-A. Using this kit will
prevent any damage to the harness connector
terminals.
7. Any un-metered air may cause this DTC to set.
Check the PVC system for vacuum leaks. Also
inspect the dip stick for being pulled out. Check the
oil fill cap for being loose.
8. Verifies the signal circuit from the MAF sensor
electrical connector to the PCM.
9. Verifies whether a ground and B+ circuit is available.
10. Checks a signal circuit for an open.
11. Checks for a signal circuit shorted to B+.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0102 MAF Sensor Circuit Low Frequency
T321122
Circuit Description
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the amount
of air which passes through it into the engine during a
given time. The powertrain control module (PCM) uses
the mass air flow information to monitor engine
operating conditions for fuel delivery calculations. A
large quantity of air entering the engine indicates an
acceleration or high load situation, while a small
quantity of air indicates deceleration or idle.
The MAF sensor produces a frequency signal which
can be monitored using a Tech 2. The frequency will
vary within a range of around 2500Hz at idle to around
1900Hz at maximum engine load. DTC P0102 will be
set if the signal from the MAF sensor is below the
possible range of a normally operating MAF sensor.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The engine is running above 500 RPM for greater
than 10 seconds.
System voltage is above 11.5 volts.
MAF signal frequency is below 1000Hz for a total of
50-percent of the last 1000 samples monitored. A
sample is taken every cylinder event.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) the first time the fault is detected.
The PCM calculates an air flow value based on idle
air control valve position, throttle position, RPM and
barometric pressure.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0102 can be cleared by using the Tech 2
“Clear Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM
battery feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
Poor connection at PCM – Inspect harness
connectors for backed-out terminals, improper
mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged
terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Misrouted harness – Inspect the MAF sensor harness
to ensure that it is not routed too close to high voltage
wires.
Damaged harness – Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe
the Tech 2 while moving connectors and wiring
harnesses related to the MAF sensor. A change in
the display will indicate the location of the fault.
Plugged intake air duct or filter element A
wide-open throttle acceleration from a stop should
cause the mass air flow displayed on a Tech 2 to
increase from about 3-6 g/second at idle to 100 g/
second or greater at the time of the 1-2 shift. If not,
check for a restriction.
If DTC P0102 cannot be duplicated, the information
included in the Failure Records data can be useful in
determining vehicle mileage since the DTC was last set.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
2. This step verifies that the problem is present at idle.
4. A voltage reading of less than 4 or over 5 volts at the

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0103 MAF Sensor Circuit High Frequency
T321122
Circuit Description
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the amount
of air which passes through it into the engine during a
given time. The powertrain control module (PCM) uses
the mass air flow information to monitor engine
operating conditions for fuel delivery calculations. A
large quantity of air entering the engine indicates an
acceleration or high load situation, while a small
quantity of air indicates deceleration or idle.
The MAF sensor produces a frequency signal which
can be monitored using a Tech 2. The frequency will
vary within a range of around 2500Hz at idle to around
9000Hz at maximum engine load. DTC P0103 will be
set if the signal from the MAF sensor is above the
possible range of a normally operating MAF sensor.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The engine is running above 500 RPM for more than
10 seconds.
System voltage is above 11.5 volts.
MAF signal frequency is above 10,000Hz (10.0kHz)
for a total of 50 percent of the last 200 samples
monitored. A sample is taken every cylinder event.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) the first time the fault is detected.
The PCM calculates an airflow value based on idle air
control valve position, throttle position, RPM and
barometric pressure.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0103 can be cleared by using the Tech 2
“Clear Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM
battery feed.
Diagnostic Aids
If DTC P0103 cannot be duplicated, the information
included in the Failure Records data can be useful in
determining vehicle mileage since the DTC was last set.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0107 MAP Sensor Circuit Low Voltage
D06RW102
Circuit Description
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor responds
to changes in intake manifold pressure (vacuum). The
MAP sensor signal voltage to the powertrain control
module (PCM) varies from below 2 volts at idle (high
vacuum) to above 4 volts with the ignition “ON, engine
not running or at wide-open throttle (low vacuum).
The MAP sensor is used to determine manifold
pressure changes while the exhaust gas recirculation
(EGR) flow test diagnostic is being run (refer to DTC
P0401), to determine engine vacuum level for some
other diagnostics and to determine barometric pressure
(BARO). The PCM monitors the MAP signals for
voltages outside the normal range of the MAP sensor. If
the PCM detects a MAP signal voltage that is
excessively low, DTC P0107 will be set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
No TP sensor DTCs present.
Engine is running.
Throttle angle is above 1% if engine speed is less
than 1000RPM.
Throttle angle is above 2% if engine speed is above
1000RPM.
The MAP sensor indicates manifold absolute
pressure at or below 11kPa for a total of
approximately 10 seconds over a 16-second period.
Ignition voltage more than 11 volts.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) the first time the fault is detected.
The PCM will default to a BARO value of 79.3kPa.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0107 can be cleared by using the Tech 2
“Clear Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM
battery feed.
Diagnostic Aids

The MAP sensor shares a 5 Volt reference with the
Rough Road Sensor. If these codes are also set, it
could indicate a problem with the 5 Volt reference
circuit .
The MAP sensor shares a ground with the Rough
Road Sensor, the ECT sensor, and the Transmission
Fluid Temperature sensor.
Poor connection at PCM Inspect harness
connectors for backed-out terminals, improper
mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged
terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Damaged harness Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe
the MAP display on the Tech 2 while moving
connectors and wiring harnesses related to the
sensor. A change in the display will indicate the
location of the fault.
If DTC P0107 cannot be duplicated, the information
included in the Failure Records data can be useful in
determining vehicle mileage since the DTC was last set.
If it is determined that the DTC occurs intermittently,
performing the DTC P0107 Diagnostic Chart may

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0117 ECT Sensor Circuit Low Voltage
060RY00304
Circuit Description
The engine coolant temperature (ETC) sensor is a
thermistor mounted on a coolant crossover pipe at the
rear of the engine. The powertrain control module
(PCM) applies a voltage (about 5 volts) through a
pull-up resistor to the ECT signal circuit. When the
engine coolant is cold, the sensor (thermistor)
resistance is high, therefore the PCM will measure a
high signal voltage. As the engine coolant warms, the
sensor resistance becomes lower, and the ECT signal
voltage measured at the PCM drops. With a fully
warmed-up engine, the ECT signal voltage should
measure about 1.5 to 2.0 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
Engine running time is longer than one minute.
The ECT sensor signal indicates an engine coolant
temperature greater than 150°C (302°F) (about 0.10
V) for a total of 50 seconds over a 100–second
period.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) the first time the fault is detected.
The PCM will substitute the ECT reading with a
default engine coolant temperature value. The
default value is based on start-up intake air
temperature and running time.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0117 can be cleared by using the Tech 2
“Clear Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM
battery feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
Poor connection at PCM – Inspect harness
connectors for backed-out terminals, improper
mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0118 ECT Sensor Circuit High Voltage
060RY00304
Circuit Description
The engine coolant temperature (ETC) sensor is a
thermistor mounted in on a coolant crossover pipe at
the rear of the engine. The powertrain control module
(PCM) applies a voltage (about 5 volts) through a
pull-up resistor to the ECT signal circuit. When the
engine coolant is cold, the sensor (thermistor)
resistance is high, therefore the PCM will measure a
high signal voltage. As the engine coolant warms, the
sensor resistance becomes less, and the ECT signal
voltage measured at the PCM drops. With a fully
warmed-up engine, the ECT signal voltage should
measure about 1.5 to 2.0 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
Engine running time is longer than 1.5 minutes.
The ECT sensor signal indicates an engine coolant
temperature of –39°C (–38°F) or less (about 5 volts)
for a total of 50 seconds over a 100-second period.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) the first time the fault is detected.
The PCM will substitute the ECT reading with a
default engine coolant temperature value. The
default value is based on start-up intake air
temperature and running time.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0118 can be cleared by using the Tech 2
“Clear Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM
battery feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
The ECT shares a ground with the Transmission Fluid
Temperature sensor, the Rough Road sensor, and the
MAP sensor.
Check the ground if these DTCs are also set.
Poor connection at PCM – Inspect harness
connectors for backed-out terminals, improper
mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged
terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Damaged harness – Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe
the ECT display on the Tech 2 while moving
connectors and wiring harnesses related to the ECT
sensor. A change in the ECT display will indicate the
location of the fault.
If DTC P0118 cannot be duplicated, the information
included in the Failure Records data can be useful in
determining vehicle mileage since the DTC was last set.
If it is determined that the DTC occurs intermittently,
performing the DTC P1115 Diagnostic Chart may isolate
the cause of the fault.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0121 TP System Performance
D06RW028
Circuit Description
The throttle position (TP) sensor circuit provides a
voltage signal that changes relative to throttle blade
angle. The signal voltage will vary from about 0.6 volts
at closed throttle to about 4.5 volts at wide open throttle
(WOT).
The TP signal is used by the powertrain control module
(PCM) for fuel control and many of the PCM-controlled
outputs. The PCM monitors throttle position and
compares actual throttle position from the TP sensor to
a predicted TP value calculated from engine speed. If
the PCM detects an out-of-range condition, DTC P0121
will set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The engine is running.
No MAP DTCs, or P0121, P0122, P0123 are set.
MAP reading is below 55kPa.
Throttle is steady, throttle angle is changing less than
1%.
Predicted throttle angle is not close to actual throttle
angle.
Above conditions are present for a total of 12.5
seconds over a 25-second period of time.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) after the second consecutive trip in which
the fault is detected.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
The PCM will use a default throttle position based on
mass air flow and RPM.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0121 can be cleared by using the Tech 2
“Clear info ” function or by disconnecting the PCM
battery feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
Skewed MAP signal or faulty Map sensor – An
incorrect MAP signal may cause the PCM to
incorrectly calculate the predicted TP sensor value
during high engine load situations. Check for an
unusually low MAP reading. This condition can
cause DTC P0121 to be set.
Poor connection at PCM – Inspect harness
connectors for backed-out terminals, improper
mating, broken locks improperly formed or damaged
terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Damaged harness Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe
the ECT display on the Tech 2 while moving
connectors and wiring harnesses related to the
sensor. A change in the display will indicate the
location of the fault.
If DTC P0121 cannot be duplicated, the information
included in the Failure Records data can be useful in
determining vehicle mileage since the DTC was last set.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0131 HO2S Circuit Low Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 1
060RW236
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies a bias
voltage of about 450 mV between the heated oxygen
sensor (HO2S) signal high and signal low circuits.
When measured with a 10 megaohm digital voltmeter,
this may display as low as 350 mV. The oxygen sensor
varies the voltage within a range of about 1000 mV
when the exhaust is rich, down through about 10 mV
when exhaust is lean. The PCM constantly monitors
the HO2S signal during “closed loop” operation and
compensates for a rich or lean condition by decreasing
or increasing injector pulse width as necessary. If the
Bank 1 HO2S 1 voltage remains excessively low for an
extended period of time, DTC P0131 will be set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
No related DTCs.
Vehicle is operating inclosed loop.
Engine coolant temperature is above 60°C (140°F).
Closed loop” commanded air/fuel ratio is between
14.5 and 14.8.
Throttle angle is between 3% and 19%.
Bank 1 HO2S 1 signal voltage remains below 22 mV
during normalclosed loop” operation for a total of 77
seconds over a 90-second period of time.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) the first time the fault is detected.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Open loop” fuel control will be in effect.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0131 can be cleared by using the Tech 2
“Clear Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM
battery feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
Heated oxygen sensor wiring – The sensor pigtail
may be routed incorrectly and contacting the exhaust
system.
Poor PCM to engine block grounds.
Fuel pressure – The system will go lean if pressure is
too low. The PCM can compensate for some
decrease. However, If fuel pressure is too low, a
DTC P0131 may be set. Refer to Fuel System
Diagnosis.
Lean injector(s) – Perform “Injector Balance Test.”
Vacuum leaks – Check for disconnected or damaged
vacuum hoses and for vacuum leaks at the intake
manifold, throttle body, EGR system, and PCV
system.
Exhaust leaks An exhaust leak may cause outside
air to be pulled into the exhaust gas stream past the
HO2S, causing the system to appear lean. Check for
exhaust leaks that may cause a false lean condition
to be indicated.
MAF sensor The system can go lean if the MAF
sensor signal indicates an engine airfiow
measurement that is not correct. Disconnect the
MAF sensor to see if the lean condition is corrected.
If so, replace the MAF sensor.
Fuel contamination – Water, even in small amounts,
can be delivered to the fuel injectors. The water can
cause a lean exhaust to be indicated. Excessive
alcohol in the fuel can also cause this condition.
Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis for the procedure to
check for fuel contamination.
If none of the above conditions are present, replace
the affected HO2S.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to step numbers on the
diagnostic chart.
3. DTC P0131 failing during operation may indicate a
condition described in the “Diagnostic Aids above.
If the DTC P0131 test passes while the Failure
Records conditions are being duplicated, an
intermittent condition is indicated.
Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since
the diagnostic test last failed may help determine how
often the condition that caused the DTC to be set
occurs. This may assist in diagnosing the condition.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0132 HO2S Circuit High Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 1
060RW236
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies a bias
voltage of about 450 mV between the heated oxygen
sensor (HO2S) signal and low circuits. When measured
with a 10 megaohm digital voltmeter, this may display
as low as 320 mV. The oxygen sensor varies the
voltage within a range of about 1000 mV when exhaust
is rich, down through about 10 mV when exhaust is
lean. The PCM constantly monitors the HO2S signal
during closed loop” operation and compensates for a
rich or lean condition by decreasing or increasing
injector pulse width as necessary. If the Bank 1 HO2S 1
voltage remains excessively high for an extended
period of time, DTC P0132 will be set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
No related DTCs.
Engine coolant temperature is above 60°C (140°F)
Closed loop” commanded air/fuel ratio is between
14.5 and 14.8.
Throttle angle is between 3% and 19%.
Bank 1 HO2S 1 signal voltage remains above 952
mV during normalclosed loop” operation for a total
of 77 seconds over a 90-second period.
OR
Bank 1 HO2S 1 signal voltage remains above 500
mV during “deceleration fuel cutoff mode operation
for 3 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) the first time the fault is detected.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Open loop” fuel control will be in effect.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0132 can be cleared by using the Tech 2
“Clear Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM
battery feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check the following items:
Fuel pressure The system will go rich if pressure is
too high. The PCM can compensate for some
increase. However, if fuel pressure is too high, a
DTC P0132 may be set. Refer to Fuel System
Diagnosis.
PerformInjector Balance Test” – Refer to Fuel
System Diagnosis.
MAF sensor The system can go rich if MAF sensor
signal indicates an engine airflow measurement that
is not correct. Disconnect the MAF sensor to see it
the rich condition is corrected. If so, replace the MAF
sensor.
Check for a leak in the fuel pressure regulator
diaphragm by checking the vacuum line to the
regulator for the presence of fuel. There should be
no fuel in the vacuum line.
An intermittent TP sensor output will cause the
system to go rich due to a false indication of the
engine accelerating.
Shorted Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)If the
HO2S is internally shorted, the HO2S voltage
displayed on the Tech 2 will be over 1 volt. Try
disconnecting the affected HO2S with the key ON,
engine “OFF. If the displayed HO2S voltage
changes from over 1000 mV to around 450 mV,
replace the HO2S. Silicon contamination of the
HO2S can also cause a high HO2S voltage to be
indicated. This condition is indicated by a powdery
white deposit on the portion of the HO2S exposed to
the exhaust stream. If contamination is noticed,
replace the affected HO2S.
Open HO2S Signal Circuit or Faulty HO2SA poor
connection or open in the HO2S signal circuit can
cause the DTC to set during deceleration fuel mode.
An HO2S which is faulty and not allowing a full
voltage swing between the rich and lean thresholds
can also cause this condition. Operate the vehicle by
monitoring the HO2S voltage with a Tech 2. If the
HO2S voltage is limited within a range between 300
mV to 600 mV, check the HO2S signal circuit wiring
and associated terminal conditions.
If none of the above conditions are present, replace
the affected HO2S.

in the Diagnostic Aids above. If the DTC P0132
test passes while the Failure Records conditions are
being duplicated, an intermittent condition is
indicated.
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.

sensor (HO2S) high and low circuits. When
measured with a 10 megaohm digital voltmeter, this
may display as low as 320mV. The oxygen sensor
varies the voltage within a range of about 1000mV
when the exhaust is rich, down through about 10mV

decreasing or increasing injector pulse width as
necessary. If the Bank 1 HO2S 1 voltage remains at
or near the 450mV bias for an extended period of
time, DTC P0134 will be set, indicating an open
sensor signal or sensor low circuit.
Heated oxygen sensors are used to minimize the
amount of time required for “closed loop” fuel control
operation and to allow accurate catalyst monitoring.
The oxygen sensor heater greatly decreases the
amount of time required for fuel control sensors Bank
1 HO2S 1 and Bank 2 HO2S 1 to become active.
Oxygen sensor heaters are required by post-catalyst
monitor sensors to maintain a sufficiently high
temperature for accurate exhaust oxygen content
readings further from the engine.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
No related DTCs.
Battery voltage is above 10 volts.
Engine run time is longer than 40 seconds.
Oxygen sensor heater has been determined to be

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

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0171 Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 1
D06RW030
Circuit Description
To provide the best possible combination of driveability,
fuel economy, and emission control, a “closed loop” air/
fuel metering system is used. While in “closed loop,”
the powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the Bank
1 HO2S 1 and Bank 2 HO2S 1 signals and adjusts fuel
delivery based upon the HO2S signal voltages. A
change made to fuel delivery will be indicated by the
long and short term fuel trim values which can be
monitored with a Tech 2. Ideal fuel trim values are
around 0%; if the HO2S signals are indicating a lean
condition the PCM will add fuel, resulting in fuel trim
values above 0%. If a rich condition is detected, the
fuel trim values will be below 0%, indicating that the
PCM is reducing the amount of fuel delivered. If an
excessively lean condition is detected on Bank 1, the
PCM will set DTC P0171.
The PCM's maximum authority to control long term fuel
trim allows a range between –15% (automatic
transmission) or –12% (manual transmission) and
+20%. The PCM monitors fuel trim under various
engine speed/load fuel trim cells before determining the
status of the fuel trim diagnostic.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
No Tech 2 test is being run.
None of the following: EGR DTCs, HO2S DTCs,
(response, transition, open, low volts, no activity),
MAF DTCs, TP sensor DTCs, MAP DTCs, IAT DTCs,

DTCs, or misfire DTCs.
Engine coolant temperature is between 25°C (77°F)
and 100°C (212°F).
Intake air temperature is between –40°C (–40°F) and
120°C (248°F).
Manifold absolute pressure is between 24 kPa and
99 kPa.
Throttle angle is steady below 95%.
Vehicle speed is below 136 km/h (85 mph).
Engine speed is between 400 and 6,000 RPM.
Barometric pressure is greater than 72.5 kPa.
Mass air flow is between 2 g/second and 200 g/

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0172 Fuel Trim System Rich Bank 1
D06RW030
Circuit Description
To provide the best possible combination of driveability,
fuel economy, and emission control, a “closed loop” air/
fuel metering system is used. While in “closed loop,”
the powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the Bank
1 heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) 1 and Bank 2 HO2S 1
signals and adjusts fuel delivery based upon the HO2S
signal voltages. A change made to fuel delivery will be
indicated by the long and short term fuel trim values
which can be monitored with a Tech 2. Ideal fuel trim
values are around 0%; if the HO2S signals are
indicating a lean condition the PCM will add fuel,
resulting in fuel trim values above 0%. If a rich condition
is detected, the fuel trim values will be below 0%,
indicating that the PCM is reducing the amount of fuel
delivered. If an excessively rich condition is detected on
Bank 1, the PCM will set DTC P0172.
The PCM's maximum authority to control long term fuel
trim allows a range between –15% (automatic
transmission) or –12 (manual transmission) and +20%.
The PCM's maximum authority to control short term fuel
trim allows a range between –11% and +20%. The
PCM monitors fuel trim under various engine speed/
load fuel trim cells before determining the status of the
fuel trim diagnostic.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
No Tech 2 test is being run.
None of the following was set: EGR DTCs, HO2S
DTCs, (response, transition, open, low volts, no
activity), MAF DTCs, TPS DTCs, MAP DTCs, IAT
DTCs, canister purge DTCs, EVAP DTCs, injector
circuit DTCs, or misfire DTCs.
Engine coolant temperature is between 25°C (77°F)
and 100°C (212°F).
Intake air temperature is between –40°C (–40°F) and
120°C (248°F).
Manifold absolute pressure is between 24 kPa and
99 kPa.
Throttle angle is steady below 95%.
Vehicle speed is below 136 km/h (85 mph).
Engine speed is between 400 and 6,000 RPM.
Barometric pressure is greater than 72.5 kPa.
Mass air flow is between 2 g/second and 200 g/
second.
Ignition voltage is above 9.5 volts.
Fuel system is inclosed loop.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) after the second consecutive trip in which
the fault is detected.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0172 can be cleared by using the Tech 2
“Clear Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM
battery feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
Poor connection at PCM Inspect harness
connectors for backed-out terminals, improper
mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged
terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Damaged harness Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe
the Bank 1 HO2S 1 display on the Tech 2 while
moving connectors and wiring harnesses related to
the engine harness. A change in the display will
indicate the location of the fault.
Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since
the diagnostic test last failed may help determine how

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0201 Injector 1 Control Circuit
D06RW034
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) has six individual
injector driver circuits. Each controls an injector. When
a driver circuit is grounded by the PCM, the injector is
activated. The PCM monitors the current in each driver
circuit. The voltage on each driver is monitored to
detect a fault. If the voltage is not what the PCM
expects to monitor on the circuit, a DTC is set. This
DTC is also set if an injector driver is shorted to voltage
or if there is an open circuit.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The battery voltage is more than 9 volts.
The engine is turning, determined by 58X crankshaft
position input signal.
The injector voltage does not equal the ignition
voltage when the injector is commanded “OFF” or the
injector voltage does not equal 0 volts when the
injector is commanded “ON.”
The above conditions are met for 15 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) the first time the fault is detected.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0201 can be cleared by using the Tech 2
“Clear Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM
battery feed.
Diagnostic Aids
An injector driver circuit that is open or shorted to
voltage will cause a DTC P0201 to set. It will also cause
a misfire due to an inoperative injector. A misfire DTC
will also be set indicating which cylinder is inoperative.
Long term and short term fuel trims that are excessively
high or low are a good indication that an injector is
faulty.
Use Fuel Injector Coil Test Procedure to check for faulty
injectors.
Test Description
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
3. This step determines if DTC P0201 is the result of a
hard failure or an intermittent condition.
5. A special injector test connector is provided so that
the injectors can be electrically tested without
removal of the manifold. On the Trooper, the special
7-way gray connector is located at the front of the
charcoal canister. The test connector can be
identified by the blue connector lock which is
tethered to the wiring harness. If the light for cylinder
1 is “ON” steady before cranking the engine as well
as while cranking the engine, then the injector driver
circuit is shorted to ground.
If the test light blinks while cranking, the PCM and
the wiring to the injectors are OK. The Fuel Injector
Coil Test Procedure will check if the injectors are
faulty.

7. Because the test light was ON” steady, voltage to
the injector is OK, but the driver circuit is grounded at
all times. This step determines if the circuit is
shorted to ground or the PCM is faulty.
9. The reading should be about 12-14W.
10. Locating the open in the harness or in the injector
will require removal of the manifold to provide
access.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0206 Injector 6 Control Circuit
D06RW034
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) has six individual
injector driver circuits. Each controls an injector. When
the driver circuit is grounded by the PCM, the injector is
activated. The PCM monitors the current in each driver
circuit. The voltage on each driver is monitored to
detect a fault. If the voltage is not what the PCM
expects to monitor on the circuit, a DTC is set. This
DTC is also set if an injector driver is shorted to voltage
or if there is an open circuit.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The battery voltage is more than 9 volts.
The engine is turning, determined by 58X crankshaft
position input signal.
The injector voltage does not equal the ignition
voltage when the injector is commanded “OFF” or the
injector voltage does not equal 0 volts when the
injector is commanded “ON.”
The above conditions are met for 15 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) the first time the fault is detected.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0206 can be cleared by using the Tech 2
“Clear Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM
battery feed.
Diagnostic Aids
An injector driver circuit that is open or shorted to
voltage will cause a DTC P0206 to set. It will also cause
a misfire due to an inoperative injector. A misfire DTC
will also be set indicating which cylinder is inoperative.
Long term and short term fuel trims that are excessively
high or low are a good indication that an injector is
faulty.
Use Fuel Injector Coil Test Procedure to check for faulty
injectors.
Test Description
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
3. This step determines if DTC P0206 is the result of a
hard failure or an intermittent condition.
5. A special injector test connector is provided so that
the injectors can be electrically tested without
removal of the manifold. On the Trooper, the special
7-way gray connector is located at the front of the
charcoal canister. The test connector can be
identified by the blue connector lock which is
tethered to the wiring harness. If the light for
cylinder 6 isON” steady before cranking the engine
as well as while cranking the engine, then the
injector driver circuit is shorted to ground.
If the test light blinks while cranking, the PCM and
the wiring to the injectors are OK. The Fuel Injector
Coil Test Procedure will check if the injectors are
faulty.
R321059
7. Because the test light was ON” steady, voltage to
the injector is OK, but the driver circuit is grounded at
all times. This step determines if the circuit is
shorted to ground or the PCM is faulty.
9. The reading should be about 12-14W.
10. Locating the open in the harness or in the injector
will require removal of the manifold to provide
access.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0325 KS Module Circuit
D06RW035
Circuit Description
The knock sensor is used to detect engine detonation,
allowing the powertrain control module (PCM) to retard
ignition control (IC) spark timing based on the knock
sensor (KS) signal being received. The knock sensor
produces an AC signal so that under a no knock
condition the signal on the KS circuit measures about
0.007 V AC. The KS signal's amplitude and frequency
depend upon the amount of knock being experienced.
The PCM contains a non-replaceable knock filter
module called a signal-to-noise enhancement filter
(SNEF) module. This filter module in the PCM
determines whether knock is occurring by comparing
the signal level on the KS circuit with the voltage level
on the noise channel. The noise channel allows the
PCM to reject any false knock signal by knowing the
amount of normal engine mechanical noise present.
Normal engine noise varies depending on engine speed
and load. When the PCM determines that an
abnormally low noise channel voltage level is being
experienced, a DTC P0325 will set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
Engine has been running for at least 30 seconds.
The PCM determines that its internal signal from its
knock filter module indicates a continuous knocking
condition for more than 10 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
The PCM will use a “substitute” default spark retard
value of 6 degrees to minimize knock during
conditions when knock is likely to occur.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0325 can be cleared by using Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
Poor connection at PCM – Inspect the knock sensor
and PCM connectors for backed-out terminals,
broken locks, and improperly formed or damaged
terminals.
Misrouted harness – Inspect the knock sensor
harness to ensure that it is not routed too close to
high voltage wires such as spark plug leads.
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.

powertrain control module (PCM). The third wire at the
sensor is a signal circuit to the PCM. The PCM uses
the CMP signal pulses to initiate sequential fuel
injection. The PCM constantly monitors the number of
pulses on the CMP signal circuit and compares the
number of CMP pulses to the number of 58X reference
pulses received. If the PCM does not receive pulses on
the CMP reference circuit, DTC P0342 will set and the
PCM will initiate injector sequence without the CMP
signal with a one in six chance that injector sequence is
correct. The engine will continue to start and run
normally, although the misfire diagnostic will be affected
if a misfiring condition occurs.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The engine is running.
The CMP sensor signal is not received by the PCM
once every 6 cylinders.
The above condition occurs for 10 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) after the second consecutive trip in which
the fault is detected.
The PCM will initiate injector sequence without the
CMP signal with a one in six chance that the injector
sequence is correct.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0342 can be cleared by using Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection,
rubbed-through wire insulation or a wire broken inside
the insulation. Check for:
Poor connection – Inspect the PCM harness and
connectors for improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor
terminal to wire connection.
Damaged harness Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK,
disconnect the PCM, turn the ignition on and observe
a voltmeter connected to the CMP signal circuit at the
PCM harness connector while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the ICM and the CMP
sensor. A change in voltage will indicate the location
of the fault.
Test Description

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0351 Ignition 1 Control Circuit
D06RW072
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module's (PCM) control circuit 1
provides a zero-volt or a 5-volt output signal to the
ignition coil. The normal voltage on the circuit is zero
volts. When the ignition coil receives the 5-volt signal
from the PCM, it provides a ground path for the B+
supply to the primary side of the number 1 ignition coil.
When the PCM shuts off the 5 volts to the ignition coil,
the ignition coil turns “OFF.” This causes the ignition
coil primary magnetic field to collapse, producing a
voltage in the secondary coil which fires the spark plug.
The circuit between the PCM and ignition coil is
monitored for an open circuit, short to voltage, and short
to ground. When the PCM detects a problem on ignition
control circuit 1, it will set a DTC P0351.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ignition is “ON.”
The engine is turning, determined by the 58X
crankshaft position input signal.
The output voltage is not equal to 5 volts when output
is “ON.
The output voltage is not equal to 0 volts when output
is “OFF.”
Twenty test failures occur within 40 samples of
continuous spark events.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) the first time the fault is detected.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0351 can be cleared by using Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
Poor connection at PCM Inspect the harness
connectors for backed-out terminals, improper

Tech 2 display related to DTC P0351 while moving
the connector and wiring related to the ignition
system. A change in the display will indicate the
location of the fault.
Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since
the diagnostic test last failed may help determine how
often the condition that caused the DTC to be set
occurs. This may assist in diagnosing the condition.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0356 Ignition 6 Control Circuit
D06RW072
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module's (PCM) control circuit 6
provides a zero-volt or a 5-volt output signal to the
ignition coil. The normal voltage on the circuit is zero
volts. When the ignition coil receives the 5-volt signal
from the PCM, it provides a ground path for the B+
supply to the primary side of the number 6 ignition coil.
When the PCM shuts off the 5 volts to the ignition coil,
the ignition coil turns “OFF.” This causes the ignition
coil primary magnetic field to collapse, producing a
voltage in the secondary coil which fires the spark plug.
The circuit between the PCM and ignition coil is
monitored for an open circuit, short to voltage, and short
to ground. When the PCM detects a problem on ignition
control circuit 6, it will set a DTC P0356.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ignition is “ON.”
The engine is turning, determined by the 58X
crankshaft position input signal.
The output voltage is not equal to 5 volts when output
is “ON.
The output voltage is not equal to 0 volts when output
is “OFF.”
Twenty test failures occur within 40 samples of
continuous circuit monitoring.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) the first time the fault is detected.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0356 can be cleared by using the Tech 2
“Clear Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM
battery feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
Poor connection at PCM Inspect the harness
connectors for backed-out terminals, improper
mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged
terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire connections.
Damaged harness Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe
the Tech 2 display related to DTC P0356 while
moving the connector and wiring related to the
ignition system. A change in the display will indicate
the location of the fault.
Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since
the diagnostic test last failed may help determine how
often the condition that caused the DTC to be set
occurs. This may assist in diagnosing the condition.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1154 HO2S Circuit Transition Time Ratio Bank 2 Sensor 1
060RW190
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the
heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) activity for 90 seconds
after “closed loop” and stoichiometric operation have
been enabled. During the monitor period the PCM
counts the number of times that the HO2S responds
from rich-to-lean and from lean-to-rich and adds the
amount of time it took to complete all transitions. With
this information, an average time for all transitions can
be determined. The PCM then divides the rich-to-lean
average by the lean-to-rich average to obtain a ratio. If
the HO2S transition time ratio is not within this range,
DTC P1154 will be set, indicating that the oxygen
sensor is not responding as expected to changes in
exhaust oxygen content.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
No related DTCs.
Engine coolant temperature (ETC) is above 50°C
(122°F) for automatic transmission; 75°C (167°F) for
manual transmission.
The engine is operating in “closed loop.”
The engine has been running at least one minute.
Canister purge duty cycle is greater than 2%.
Engine speed is between 1500 RPM and 3000 RPM.
Mass air flow is between 9 g/second and 42 g/
second.
Above conditions are present for a 3-second
monitoring period.
90 seconds after “closed loop” and stoichiometric
operation have been enabled, Bank 2 HO2S 1
transition ratio between lean to rich and rich to lean is
less than 0.44 or greater than 3.8.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) after the second consecutive trip in which
the fault is detected.
"Open loop" fuel control will be in effect.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P1154 can be cleared by using Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
A multifunction in the HO2S heater ignition feed or
ground circuit may cause a DTC P1154 to set. Check
HO2S heater circuitry for intermittent faults or poor
connections. If connections and wiring are OK and DTC
P1154 continues to set, replace the Bank 2 HO2S 1.
Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since
the diagnostic test last failed may help determine how
often the condition that caused the DTC to be set
occurs. This may assist in diagnosing the condition.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1171 Fuel System Lean During Acceleration
060RW193-1
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) internal circuitry
can identify if the vehicle fuel system is capable of
supplying adequate amounts of fuel during heavy
acceleration (power enrichment). The PCM monitors
the voltage of the oxygen sensor during power
enrichment. When a power enrichment mode of
operation is requested during “closed loop” operation
(by heavy acceleration), the PCM will provide more fuel
to the engine. Under these conditions the PCM should
detect a “rich” condition (high oxygen sensor voltage).
If this “rich” exhaust is not detected at this time, a DTC
P1171 will set. A plugged fuel filter, restricted fuel line,
restricted in-tank filter or defective fuel pump can
prevent adequate amounts of fuel from being supplied
during power enrichment mode.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
No related DTCs.
Engine is operating in “closed loop power
enrichment” mode for 3 seconds.
Engine coolant temperature is above 60°C (140°F).
While in “power enrichment” mode the oxygen sensor
voltage remains below 400 mV for 3 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) the first the fault is detected.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P1171 can be cleared by using Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
A restricted fuel filter or fuel line, restricted in-tank
filter, or a defective fuel pomp may supply adequate
amounts of fuel at idle, but may not be able to supply
enough fuel during heavy acceleration.
Water or alcohol in the fuel may cause low HO2S
voltage during acceleration.
Check for faulty or plugged fuel injector(s).
Check for low fuel.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
4. When the engine is idling or at steady cruise, the
HO2S voltage should vary from between
approximately 100 mV to 900 mV. It is possible to
measure a satisfactory fuel pressure at idle even
though the pressure may drop at high flow
requirements. It may be necessary to watch fuel
pressure at high engine load.
5. Wrap a shop towel around the fuel pressure
connector to absorb any small amount of fuel
leakage that may occur when installing gauge.
Ignition “ON, pump pressure should be 280-320

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1508 IAC System Low RPM
T321115
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) controls engine
idle speed by adjusting the position of the idle air control
(IAC) motor pintle. The IAC is a bi-directional stepper
motor driven by two coils. The PCM applies current to
the IAC coils in steps (counts) to extend the IAC pintle
into a passage in the throttle body to decrease air flow.
The PCM reverses the current to retract the pintle,
increasing air flow. This method allows highly accurate
control of idle speed and quick response to changes in
engine load. If the PCM detects a condition where too
low of an idle speed is present and the PCM is unable to
adjust idle speed by increasing the IAC counts, DTC
P1508 will set, indicating a problem with the idle control
system.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
No Tech 2 test is being run.
None of these DTCs are set: TP sensor, VSS, ECT,
EGR, fuel system, MAF, MAP, IAT, canister purge,

(120°F).
Engine speed is more than 100-200 RPM lower than
desired idle, based upon coolant temperature.
The engine has been running for at least 125
seconds.
Vehicle speed is less than 1 mph.
Canister purge duty cycle is above 10%.
Ignition voltage is between 9.5 volts and 16.7 volts.
The throttle is closed.
Engine speed is lower than desired idle.
All of the above conditions are met for 10 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1618 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) PCM Interprocessor
Communication Error
Circuit Description
The serial peripheral interface (SPI) communication is
used internally by the PCM to send messages between
the engine processor and the automatic transmission
processor. Included in each message sent between the
two-processors is a checksum of the message. Both
the engine processor and automatic transmission
processor will compare this check sum value with the
calculated value. If the checksums don't match, the
processor will view the new data as being corrupted and
ignore the values. The processor will then use the
previous message. The receiving processor will then
send a message to the sending processor informing it
that it's last message was corrupted.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
Battery voltage is above 9.0 V for 2 seconds.
The PCM detects an internal program fault (check
sum of data communications error).

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1640 Driver-1-Input High Voltage
Circuit Description
Output driver modules (ODMs) are used by the
powertrain control module (PCM) to turn “ON” many of
the current-driven devices that are needed to control
various engine and transmission functions. Each ODM
is capable of controlling up to 7 separate outputs by
applying ground to the device which the PCM is
commanding “ON.
Unlike the Quad Driver Modules (QDMs) used in prior
model years, ODMs have the capability of diagnosing
each output circuit individually. DTC P1640 set
indicates an improper voltage level has been detected
on an ODM output.
Since A/C is an option, No A/C will cause the air
conditioning clutch relay output to always fault. If a fault
is seen on the air conditioning clutch relay output, it will
not be logged as a fault until the A/C request input
interrupts a high voltage, indicating that A/C has been
installed.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
Ignition “ON.”
Engine running.
No DTC 1618.
Ignition voltage is above 13.2 volts for 4 seconds.
Output voltage does not equal ignition voltage when
output is “OFF” or output voltage is not less than 1
volt when output is “ON.”
Above conditions occur for at least 1 second.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will not illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL).
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Failure Records only. This
information will not be stored as Freeze Frame data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P1640 can be cleared by using the Tech 2
“Clear Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM
battery feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
Poor connection at PCM – Inspect harness
connectors for backed-out terminals, improper
mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged
terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Damaged harness – Inspect the wiring harness for
damage, If the harness appears to be OK,
disconnect the PCM, turn the ignition “ON” and
observe a voltmeter connected to the suspect driver
circuit at the PCM harness connector while moving
connectors and wiring harnesses relates to the MIL.
A change in voltage will indicate the location of the
fault.
Poor connection at component – Examine for
damaged connectors, unplugged connector, or
damaged terminals at the following locations:
Instrument cluster harness, canister purge solenoid,
A/C clutch relay. An open ignition feed circuit at any
of these components will cause DTC P1640 to be set.
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.
The following PCM pins are controlled by output driver
modules (ODMs):
A13 – “Check Engine Lamp
A14 – "Check Trans"
B14 – A/C Clutch
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
6. The Tech 2 Driver Module Status indicates the PCM
pin that is affected.
11. The Tech 2 may indicate “short circuit” even when
the problem is an open circuit. The cause of an
open circuit may be in the component itself-lamp,
purge, solenoid, or A/C compressor relay.
13. A short to ground on the ignition side of the
component will blow the fuse. Since the fuse was
checked in Step 4, a short to ground would be
between the affected component and the PCM.

Symptom Diagnosis
Preliminary Checks
Before using this section, perform the On-Board
Diagnostic (OBD) System Check and verify all of the
following items:
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and
malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) (Service Engine
Soon lamp) are operating correctly.
There are no DTC(s) stored.
Tech 2 data is within normal operating range. Refer
to Typical Scan Data Values.
Verify the customer complaint and locate the correct
symptom in the table of contents. Perform the
procedure included in the symptom chart.
Visual/Physical Check
Several of the symptom procedures call for a careful
visual/physical check. This can lead to correcting a
problem without further checks and can save valuable
time.
This check should include the following items:
PCM grounds for cleanliness, tightness and proper
location.
Vacuum hoses for splits, kinks, and proper
connections, as shown on the Vehicle Emission
Control Information label. Check thoroughly for any
type of leak or restriction.
Air intake ducts for collapsed or damaged areas.
Air leaks at throttle body mounting area, mass air flow
(MAF) sensor and intake manifold sealing surfaces.
Ignition wires for cracking, hardness, and carbon
tracking.
Wiring for proper connections, pinches and cuts.
Intermittents
Important: An intermittent problem may or may not
turn on the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) or store a
DTC. DO NOT use the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
charts for intermittent problems. The fault must be
present to locate the problem.
Most intermittent problems are caused by faulty
electrical connections or wiring. Perform a careful
visual/physical check for the following conditions:
Poor mating of the connector halves or a terminal not
fully seated in the connector (backed out).
Improperly formed or damaged terminal.
All connector terminals in the problem circuit should
be carefully checked for proper contact tension.
Poor terminal-to-wire connection. This requires
removing the terminal from the connector body to
check.
Road test the vehicle with a J 39200 Digital Multimeter
connected to a suspected circuit. An abnormal voltage
when the malfunction occurs is a good indication that
there is a fault in the circuit being monitored.
Use Tech 2 to help detect intermittent conditions. Tech
2s have several features that can be used to locate an
intermittent condition. Use the following feature to find
intermittent faults:
Using Tech 2'sFreeze Frame” buffer or “Failure
Records buffer can aid in locating an intermittent
condition. Review and record the information in the
freeze frame or failure record associated with the
intermittent DTC being diagnosed. The vehicle can
be driven within the conditions that were present
when the DTC originally set.
To check for loss of diagnostic code memory,
disconnect the MAP sensor and idle the engine until the
MIL (Service Engine Soon lamp) comes on. DTC
P0107 should be stored and kept in memory when the
ignition is turned OFF. If not, the PCM is faulty. When
this test is completed, make sure that you clear the DTC
P0107 from memory.
Intermittent MIL illumination with no stored DTC may be
caused by the following:
Ignition coil shorted to ground and arcing at ignition
wires or plugs.
MIL wire to PCM shorted to ground.
Poor PCM grounds. Refer to the PCM wiring
diagrams.
Check for improper installation of electrical options such
as lights, cellular phones, etc. Route ignition coil wiring
away from the ignition coils. Check all wires from the
PCM to the ignition coil for poor connections.
Check for an open diode across the A/C compressor
clutch and check for other open diodes (refer to wiring
diagrams in Electrical Diagnosis).
If problem has not been found, refer to PCM Connector

Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
Service Precaution
NOTE: To prevent possible electrostatic discharge
damage to the PCM, do not touch the connector pins or
soldered components on the circuit board.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Damage
Electronic components used in the control systems are
often designed to carry very low voltage. Electronic
components are susceptible to damage caused by
electrostatic discharge. Less than 100 volts of static
electricity can cause damage to some electronic
components. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000
volts for a person to even feel the zap of a static
discharge.
There are several ways for a person to become
statically charged. The most common methods of
charging are by friction and by induction. An example of
charging by friction is a person sliding across a car seat.
Charging by induction occurs when a person with well
insulated shoes stands near a highly charged object
and momentarily touches ground. Charges of the same
polarity are drained off leaving the person highly
charged with the opposite polarity. Static charges can
cause damage, therefore, it is important to use care
when handling and testing electronic components.
NOTE: To prevent possible Electrostatic Discharge
damage, follow these guidelines:
Do not touch the control module connector pins or
soldered components on the control module circuit
board.
Do not open the replacement part package until the
part is ready to be installed.
Before removing the part from the package, ground
the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
If the part has been handled while sliding across the
seat, or while sitting down from a standing position, or
while walking a distance, touch a known good ground
before installing the part.
NOTE: To prevent internal PCM damage, the ignition
must be in the OFF position in order to disconnect or
reconnect power to the PCM (for example: battery
cable, PCM pigtail, PCM fuse, jumper cables, etc.).
Important: When replacing the production PCM with a
service PCM, it is important to transfer the broadcast
code and production PCM number to the service PCM
label. This will allow positive identification of PCM parts
throughout the service life of the vehicle. Do not record
this information on the metal PCM cover.
Important: The ignition should always be in the “OFF
position in order to install or remove the PCM
connectors.
Service of the PCM should normally consist of either
replacement of the PCM or EEPROM programming. If
the diagnostic procedures call for the PCM to be
replaced, the PCM should be checked first to ensure it
is the correct part. If it is, remove the faulty PCM and
install the new service PCM.
The service PCM EEPROM will not be programmed.
DTC P0601 indicates the check sum error.

Procedure
Clean the IAC valve O-ring sealing surface, pintle
valve seat and air passage.
Use carburetor cleaner and a parts cleaning brush
to remove carbon deposits. Do not use a cleaner
that contains methyl ethyl ketone. This is an
extremely strong solvent and not necessary for this
type of deposit.
Shiny spots on the pintle are normal and do not
indicate misalignment or a bent pintle shaft.
If the air passage has heavy deposits, remove the
throttle body for complete cleaning.
TS23746
Inspect the IAC valve O-ring for cuts, cracks, or
distortion. Replace the O-ring if damaged.
In order to install a new IAC valve, measure the
distance between the tip of the pintle and the
mounting flange. If that measurement is 28 mm (1.1
in.) or less, the valve needs no adjustment. If the
measurement is greater than 28 mm (1.1 in.), apply
finger pressure and retract the valve. The force
required to retract the pintle on a new valve will not
damage the valve, shaft, or pintle.

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

Weather-Pack Connector
Tools Required
J 28742-A Weather-Pack II Terminal Remover
Removal Procedure
A Weather-Pack connector can be identified by a rubber
seal at the rear of the connector. This engine room
connector protects against moisture and dirt, which
could from oxidation and deposits on the terminals.
This protection is important, because of the low voltage
and the low amperage found in the electronic systems.
1. Open the secondary lock hinge on the connector.
070
2. Use tool J 28742-A or the equivalent to remove the
pin and the sleeve terminals. Push on J 28742-A to
release.
NOTE: Do the use an ordinary pick or the terminal may
be bent or deformed. Unlike standard blade terminals,
these terminals cannot be straightened after they have
been improperly bent.
071
3. Cut the wire immediately behind the cable seal.
072
Installation Procedure
Make certain the connectors are properly seated and all
of the sealing rings are in place when you reconnect the
leads. The secondary lock hinge provides a backup
locking feature for the connector. The secondary lock
hinge is used for added reliability. This flap should
retain the terminals even if the small terminal lock tangs
are not positioned properly.
Do not replace the Weather-Pack connections with
standard connections. Read the instructions provided
with the Weather-Pack connector and terminal
packages.
1. Replace the terminal.

061
3. Then the terminal is pulled back into the connector
to seat it in place.
General Description (PCM and Sensors)
58X Reference PCM Input
The powertrain control module (PCM) uses this signal
from the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor to calculate
engine RPM and crankshaft position at all engine
speeds. The PCM also uses the pulses on this circuit to
initiate injector pulses. If the PCM receives no pulses
on this circuit, DTC P0337 will set. The engine will not
start and run without using the 58X reference signal.
A/C Request Signal
This signal tells the PCM when the A/C mode is
selected at the A/C control head. The PCM uses this to
adjust the idle speed before turning “ON” the A/C clutch.
The A/C compressor will be inoperative if this signal is
not available to the PCM.
Refer to A/C Clutch Circuit Diagnosis for A/C wiring
diagrams and diagnosis for the A/C electrical system.
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor provides a signal
used by the powertrain control module (PCM) to
calculate the ignition sequence. The CKP sensor
initiates the 58X reference pulses which the PCM uses
to calculate RPM and crankshaft position.
Refer to Electronic Ignition System for additional
information.
0013
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor and
Signal
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor sends a CMP
signal to the PCM. The PCM uses this signal as a “sync
pulse” to trigger the injectors in the proper sequence.
The PCM uses the CMP signal to indicate the position
of the #1 piston during its power stroke. This allows the
PCM to calculate true sequential fuel injection (SFI)
mode of operation. If the PCM detects an incorrect
CMP signal while the engine is running, DTC P0341 will
set. If the CMP signal is lost while the engine is
running, t he fuel injection system will shift to a
calculated sequential fuel injection mode based on the
last fuel injection pulse, and the engine will continue to
run. As long as the fault is present, the engine can be
restarted. It will run in the calculated sequential mode
with a 1-in-6 chance of the injector sequence being
correct.
Refer to DTC P0341 for further information
0014
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a
thermistor (a resistor which changes value based on
temperature) mounted in the engine coolant stream.
Low coolant temperature produces a high resistance of
100,000 ohms at –40°C (–40°F). High temperature
causes a low resistance of 70 ohms at 130°C (266°F).
The PCM supplies a 5-volt signal to the ECT sensor
through resistors in the PCM and measures the
voltage. The signal voltage will be high when the
engine is cold and low when the engine is hot. By
measuring the voltage, the PCM calculates the engine
coolant temperature. Engine coolant temperature
affects most of the systems that the PCM controls.
Tech 2 displays engine coolant temperature in degrees.
After engine start-up, the temperature should rise
steadily to about 85°C (185°F). It then stabilizes when
the thermostat opens. If the engine has not been run for
several hours (overnight), the engine coolant
temperature and intake air temperature displays should
be close to each other. A hard fault in the engine
coolant sensor circuit will set DTC P0177 or DTC
P0118. An intermittent fault will set a DTC P1114 or
P1115.
0016
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read
Only Memory (EEPROM)
The electrically erasable programmable read only
memory (EEPROM) is a permanent memory chip that is
physically soldered within the PCM. The EEPROM
contains the program and the calibration information
that the PCM needs to control powertrain operation.
Unlike the PROM used in past applications, the
EEPROM is not replaceable. If the PCM is replaced,
the new PCM will need to be programmed. Equipment
containing the correct program and calibration for the
vehicle is required to program the PCM.
Fuel Control Heated Oxygen Sensors
The fuel control heated oxygen sensors (Bank 1 HO2S
1 and Bank 2 HO2S 1) are mounted in the exhaust
stream where they can monitor the oxygen content of
the exhaust gas. The oxygen present in the exhaust
gas reacts with the sensor to produce a voltage output.
This voltage should constantly fluctuate from
approximately 100 mV to 900 mV. The heated oxygen
sensor voltage can be monitored with Tech 2. By
monitoring the voltage output of the oxygen sensor, the
PCM calculates the pulse width command for the
injectors to produce the proper combustion chamber
mixture.
Low HO2S voltage is a lean mixture which will result
in a rich command to compensate.
High HO2S voltage is a rich mixture which will result
in a lean command to compensate.
An open Bank 1 HO2S 1 signal circuit will set a DTC
P0134 and Tech 2 will display a constant voltage
between 400-500 mV. A constant voltage below 300
mV in the sensor circuit (circuit grounded) will set DTC
P0131. A constant voltage above 800 mV in the circuit
will set DTC P0132. Faults in the Bank 2 HO2S 1 signal
circuit will cause DTC 0154 (open circuit), DTC P0151
(grounded circuit), or DTC P0152 (signal voltage high)
to set.
0012
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is a thermistor
which changes its resistance based on the temperature
of air entering the engine. Low temperature produces a
high resistance of 100,000 ohms at –40°C (–40°F).
High temperature causes low resistance of 70 ohms at
130°C (266°F) . The PCM supplies a 5-volt signal to the
sensor through a resistor in the PCM and monitors the
signal voltage. The voltage will be high when the
incoming air is cold. The voltage will be low when the
incoming air is hot. By measuring the voltage, the PCM
calculates the incoming air temperature. The IAT
sensor signal is used to adjust spark timing according to
the incoming air density.
Tech 2 displays the temperature of the air entering the
engine. The temperature should read close to the
ambient air temperature when the engine is cold and
rise as underhood temperature increases. If the engine
has not been run for several hours (overnight), the IAT
sensor temperature and engine coolant temperature
should read close to each other. A fault in the IAT
sensor circuit will set DTC P0112 or DTC P0113.
0018
Knock Sensor
Insufficient gasoline octane levels may cause
detonation in some engines. Detonation is an
uncontrolled explosion (burn) in the combustion
chamber. This uncontrolled explosion results from a
flame front opposite that of the normal flame front
produced by the spark plug. The rattling sound
normally associated with detonation is the result of two
or more opposing pressures (flame fronts) colliding
within the combustion chamber. Light detonation is
sometimes considered normal, but heavy detonation
could result in engine damage.
A knock sensor system is used to control detonation.
This system is designed to retard spark timing up to 20
degrees to reduce detonation in the engine. This allows
the engine to use maximum spark advance to improve
driveability and fuel economy.
The knock sensor system has two major components:
The knock sensor (KS) module.
The knock sensor.
The knock sensor, mounted in the engine block near the
cylinders, detects abnormal vibration in the engine. The
sensor produces an AC output signal of about 10
millivolts. The signal amplitude and frequency are
dependent on the amount of knock being experienced.
The signal voltage increases with the severity of the
knock. This signal voltage is input to the PCM. The
PCM then retards the ignition control (IC) spark timing
based on the KS signal being received.
The PCM determines whether knock is occurring by
comparing the signal level on the KS circuit with the
voltage level on the noise channel. The noise channel
allows the PCM to reject any false knock signal by
indicating the amount of normal engine mechanical
noise present. Normal engine noise varies depending
on the engine speed and load. If the voltage level on
the KS noise channel circuit is below the range
considered normal, DTC P0327 will set, indicating a
fault in the KS circuit or the knock sensor. If the PCM
determines that an abnormal minimum or maximum
noise level is being experienced, DTC P0325 will set.
The PCM contains a knock sensor (KS) module. The
KS module contains the circuitry which allows the PCM
to utilize the KS signal and diagnose the KS sensor and
the KS circuitry. If the KS module is missing or faulty, a
continuous knock condition will be indicated, and the
PCM will set DTC P0325.
Although it is a plug-in device, the KS module is not
replaceable. If the KS module is faulty, the entire PCM
must be replaced.
0009
Linear Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
Control
The PCM monitors the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
actual position and adjusts the pintle position
accordingly. The PCM uses information from the
following sensors to control the pintle position:
Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor.
Throttle position (TP) sensor.
Mass air flow (MAF) sensor.
Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the
difference between the volume and the quantity of air
that enters the engine. “Volume”means the size of the
space to be filled. “Quantity”means the number of air
molecules that will fit into the space. This information is
important to the PCM because heavier, denser air will
hold more fuel than lighter, thinner air. The PCM adjusts
the air/fuel ratio as needed depending on the MAF
value. Tech 2 reads the MAF value and displays it in
terms of grams per second (gm/s). At idle, Tech 2
should read between 4-7 gm/s on a fully warmed up
engine. Values should change quickly on acceleration.
Values should remain stable at any given RPM. A
failure in the MAF sensor or circuit will set DTC P0101,
DTC P0102, or DTC P0103.
0007
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor responds
to changes in intake manifold pressure (vacuum). The
MAP sensor signal voltage to the PCM varies from
below 2 volts at idle (high vacuum) to above 4 volts with
the ignition ON, engine not running or at wide-open
throttle (low vacuum).
The MAP sensor is used to determine the following:
Manifold pressure changes while the linear EGR flow
test diagnostic is being run.
Engine vacuum level for other diagnostics.
Barometric pressure (BARO).
If the PCM detects a voltage that is lower than the
possible range of the MAP sensor, DTC P0107 will be
set. A signal voltage higher than the possible range of
the sensor will set DTC P0108. An intermittent low or
high voltage will set DTC P1107 or DTC P1106,
respectively. The PCM can detect a shifted MAP
sensor. The PCM compares the MAP sensor signal to a
calculated MAP based on throttle position and various
engine load factors. If the PCM detects a MAP signal
that varies excessively above or below the calculated
value, DTC P0106 will set.
055RW004
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
The powertrain control module (PCM) is located in the
passenger compartment below the center console. The
PCM controls the following:
Fuel metering system.
Transmission shifting (automatic transmission only).
Ignition timing.
On-board diagnostics for powertrain functions.
The PCM constantly observes the information from
various sensors. The PCM controls the systems that
affect vehicle performance. The PCM performs the
diagnostic function of the system. It can recognize
operational problems, alert the driver through the MIL
(Service Engine Soon lamp), and store diagnostic
trouble codes (DTCs). DTCs identify the problem areas
to aid the technician in making repairs.
This engine uses 2 different control modules:
IPCM-6KT for automatic transmission-equipped
vehicles.
ISFI-6 for manual transmission-equipped vehicles.
PCM Function
The PCM supplies either 5 or 12 volts to power various
sensors or switches. The power is supplied through
resistances in the PCM which are so high in value that a
test light will not light when connected to the circuit. In
some cases, even an ordinary shop voltmeter will not
give an accurate reading because its resistance is too
low. Therefore, a digital voltmeter with at least 10
megohms input impedance is required to ensure
accurate voltage readings. Tool J 39200 meets this
requirement. The PCM controls output circuits such as
the injectors, IAC, cooling fan relays, etc., by controlling
the ground or the power feed circuit through transistors
of following device.
Output Driver Module (ODM)
0005
PCM Components
The PCM is designed to maintain exhaust emission
levels to government mandated standards while
providing excellent driveability and fuel efficiency. The
PCM monitors numerous engine and vehicle functions
via electronic sensors such as the throttle position (TP)
sensor, heated oxygen sensor (HO2S), and vehicle
speed sensor (VSS). The PCM also controls certain
engine operations through the following:
Fuel injector control
Ignition control module
Knock sensor
Automatic transmission shift functions
Cruise control
A/C clutch control
PCM Voltage Description
The PCM supplies a buffered voltage to various
switches and sensors. It can do this because
resistance in the PCM is so high in value that a test light
may not illuminate when connected to the circuit. An
ordinary shop voltmeter may not give an accurate
reading because the voltmeter input impedance is too
low. Use a 10-megohm input impedance digital
voltmeter (such as J 39200) to assure accurate voltage
readings.
The input/output devices in the PCM include
analog-to-digital converters, signal buffers, counters,
and special drivers. The PCM controls most
components with electronic switches which complete a
ground circuit when turned ON. These switches are
arranged in groups of 4 and 7, called either a
surface-mounted quad driver module (QDM), which can
independently control up to 4 output terminals, or QDMs
which can independently control up to 7 outputs. Not all
outputs are always used.

PCM Service Precautions
The PCM is designed to withstand normal current draws
associated with vehicle operation. Avoid overloading
any circuit. When testing for opens and shorts, do not
ground or apply voltage to any of the PCM's circuits
unless instructed to do so. These circuits should only
be tested Tech-2. The PCM should remain connected
to the PCM or to a recommended breakout box.
Reprogramming The PCM
The Service Programming System (SPS) allows
reprogramming of the PCM without removing it from the
vehicle . This provides a flexible and cost-effective
method of making changes in software calibrations.
The service programming system (SPS) will not allow
incorrect software programming or incorrect calibration
changes.
Refer to Sections 0C1 - Service Programming System
and 11A1 - 6VE1 Immobiliser.
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The throttle position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer
connected to the throttle shaft on the throttle body. The
PCM monitors the voltage on the signal line and
calculates throttle position. As the throttle valve angle is
changed (accelerator pedal moved), the TP sensor
signal also changes. At a closed throttle position, the
output of the TP sensor is low. As the throttle valve
opens, the output increases so that at wide open throttle
(WOT), the output voltage should be above 4 volts.
The PCM calculates fuel delivery based on throttle
valve angle (driver demand). A broken or loose TP
sensor may cause intermittent bursts of fuel from an
injector and unstable idle because the PCM thinks the
throttle is moving. A hard failure in the TP sensor 5-volt
reference or signal circuits will set a DTC P0123. A
hard failure with the TP sensor ground circuit may set
DTC P0123. Once a DTC is set, the PCM will use an
artificial default value based on engine RPM and mass
air flow for the throttle position, and some vehicle
performance will return. A high idle may result when
DTC P0123 is set. The PCM can also detect a shifted
TP sensor. The PCM monitors throttle position and
compares the actual TP sensor reading to a predicted
TP value calculated from engine speed. If the PCM
detects an out-of-range condition, DTC P0121 will be
set.
0021
Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT)
Sensor
The transmission fluid temperature sensor is a
thermistor which changes its resistance based on the
temperature of the transmission fluid. For a complete
description of the TFT sensor, refer to 4L30-E
Automatic Transmission Diagnosis.
A failure in the TFT sensor or associated wiring will
cause DTC P0712 or DTC P0713 to set. In this case,
engine coolant temperature will be substituted for the
TFT sensor value and the transmission will operate
normally.
Transmission Range Switch
Important: The vehicle should not be driven with the
transmission range switch disconnected; idle quality will
be affected.
The four inputs from the transmission range switch
indicate to the PCM which position is selected by the
transmission selector lever. This information is used for
ignition timing, EVAP canister purge, EGR and IAC
valve operation.
For more information on the transmission on the
transmission range switch, refer to 4L30-E Automatic
Transmission.
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
The PCM determines the speed of the vehicle by
converting a plusing voltage signal from the vehicle
speed sensor (VSS) into miles per hour. The PCM uses
this signal to operate the cruise control, speedometer,
and the TCC and shift solenoids in the transmission. For
more information on the TCC and shift solenoids, refer
to 4L30-E Automatic Transmission.
0008
Use of Circuit Testing Tools
Do not use a test light to diagnose the powertrain
electrical systems unless specifically instructed by the
diagnostic procedures. Use Connector Test Adapter Kit
J 35616 whenever diagnostic procedures call for
probing connectors.
Aftermarket Electrical and Vacuum
Equipment
Aftermarket (add-on) electrical and vacuum equipment
is defined as any equipment which connects to the
vehicle's electrical or vacuum systems that is installed
on a vehicle after it leaves the factory. No allowances
have been made in the vehicle design for this type of
equipment.
NOTE: No add-on vacuum equipment should be added
to this vehicle.
NOTE: Add-on electrical equipment must only be
connected to the vehicle's electrical system at the
battery (power and ground).
Add-on electrical equipment, even when installed to
these guidelines, may still cause the powertrain system
to malfunction. This may also include equipment not
connected to the vehicle electrical system such as
portable telephones and radios. Therefore, the first step
in diagnosing any powertrain problem is to eliminate all
aftermarket electrical equipment from the vehicle. After
this is done, if the problem still exists, it may be
diagnosed in the normal manner.
Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electronic components used in the PCM are often
designed to carry very low voltage. Electronic
components are susceptible to damage caused by
electrostatic discharge. Less than 100 volts of static
electricity can cause damage to some electronic
components. By comparison, it takes as much as 4000
volts for a person to feel even the zap of a static
discharge.
TS23793
There are several ways for a person to become
statically charged. The most common methods of
charging are by friction and induction.
An example of charging by friction is a person sliding
across a vehicle seat.
Charge by induction occurs when a person with well
insulated shoes stands near a highly charged object
and momentary touches ground. Charges of the
same polarity are drained off leaving the person
highly charged with the opposite polarity. Static
charges can cause damage, therefore it is important
to use care when handling and testing electronic
components.
NOTE: To prevent possible electrostatic discharge
damage, follow these guidelines:
Do not touch the PCM connector pins or soldered
components on the PCM circuit board.
Do not touch the knock sensor module component
leads.
Do not open the replacement part package until the
part is ready to be installed.
Before removing the part from the package, ground
the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
If the part has been handled while sliding across the
seat, while sitting down from a standing position, or
while walking a distance, touch a known good ground
before installing the part.
Upshift Lamp
Refer to Manual Transmission.
General Description (Air Induction)
Air Induction System
The air induction system filters contaminants from the
outside air, and directs the progress of the air as it is
drawn into the engine. A remote-mounted air cleaner
prevents dirt and debris in the air from entering the
engine. The air duct assembly routes filtered air to the
throttle body. Air enters the engine by to following
steps:
1. Through the throttle body.
2. Into the common chamber.
3. Through the cylinder head intake ports.
4. Into the cylinders.
055RV010
General Description (Fuel Metering)
Acceleration Mode
The PCM provides extra fuel when it detects a rapid
increase in the throttle position and the air flow.
Accelerator Controls
The accelerator control system is a cable-type system
with specific linkage adjustments.
Refer to Cable Adjustment.
Battery Voltage Correction Mode
When battery voltage is low, the PCM will compensate
for the weak spark by increasing the following:
The amount of fuel delivered.
The idle RPM.
Ignition dwell time.
CMP Signal
The PCM uses this signal to determine the position of
the number 1 piston during its power stroke, allowing
the PCM to calculate true sequential multiport fuel
injection (SFI). Loss of this signal will set a DTC P0341.
If the CMP signal is lost while the engine is running, the
fuel injection system will shift to a calculated sequential
fuel injection based on the last fuel injection pulse, and
the engine will continue to run. The engine can be
restarted and will run in the calculated sequential mode
as long as the fault is present, with a 1-in-6 chance of
being correct.
Clear Flood Mode
Clear a flooded engine by pushing the accelerator pedal
down all the way. The PCM then de-energizes the fuel
injectors. The PCM holds the fuel injectors
de-energized as long as the throttle remains above 80%
and the engine speed is below 800 RPM. If the throttle
position becomes less than 80%, the PCM again begins
to pulse the injectors “ON” and OFF, allowing fuel into
the cylinders.
Deceleration Mode
The PCM reduces the amount of fuel injected when it
detects a decrease in the throttle position and the air
flow. When deceleration is very fast, the PCM may cut
off fuel completely for short periods.
Engine Speed Fuel Disable Mode
The PCM monitors engine speed. It turns off the fuel
injectors when the engine speed increase above 6400
RPM. The fuel injectors are turned back on when
engine speed decreases below 6150 RPM.
Fuel Cutoff Mode
No fuel is delivered by the fuel injectors when the
ignition is OFF. This prevents engine run-on. In
addition, the PCM suspends fuel delivery if no reference
pulses are detected (engine not running) to prevent
engine flooding.
Fuel Injector
The sequential multiport fuel injection (SFI) fuel injector
is a solenoid-operated device controlled by the PCM.
The PCM energizes the solenoid, which opens a valve
to allow fuel delivery.
The fuel is injected under pressure in a conical spray
pattern at the opening of the intake valve. Excess fuel
not used by the injectors passes through the fuel
pressure regulator before being returned to the fuel
tank.
A fuel injector which is stuck partly open will cause a
loss of fuel pressure after engine shut down, causing
long crank times.
0003
Fuel Metering System Components
The fuel metering system is made up of the following
parts:
The fuel injectors.
The throttle body.
The fuel rail.
The fuel pressure regulator.
The PCM.
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor.
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor.
The idle air control (IAC) valve.
The fuel pump.
The fuel pump relay.
Basic System Operation
The fuel metering system starts with the fuel in the fuel
tank. An electric fuel pump, located in the fuel tank,
pumps fuel to the fuel rail through an in-line fuel filter.
The pump is designed to provide fuel at a pressure
above the pressure needed by the injectors. A fuel
pressure regulator in the fuel rail keeps fuel available to
the fuel injectors at a constant pressure. A return line
delivers unused fuel back to the fuel tank. Refer to
Section 6C for further information on the fuel tank, line
filter, and fuel pipes.
Fuel Metering System Purpose
The basic function of the air/fuel metering system is to
control the air/fuel delivery to the engine. Fuel is
delivered to the engine by individual fuel injectors
mounted in the intake manifold near each intake valve.
The main control sensor is the heated oxygen sensor
(HO2S) located in the exhaust system. The HO2S tells
the PCM how much oxygen is in the exhaust gas. The
PCM changes the air/fuel ratio to the engine by
controlling the amount of time that fuel injector isON.
The best mixture to minimize exhaust emissions is 14.7
parts of air to 1 part of petrol by weight, which allows the
catalytic converter to operate most efficiently. Because
of the constant measuring and adjusting of the air/fuel
ratio, the fuel injection system is called a “closed loop
system.
The PCM monitors signals from several sensors in
order to determine the fuel needs of the engine. Fuel is
delivered under one of several conditions called
modes. All modes are controlled by the PCM.
Fuel Pressure Regulator
The fuel pressure regulator is a diaphragm-operated
relief valve mounted on the fuel rail with fuel pump
pressure on one side and manifold pressure on the
other side. The fuel pressure regulator maintains the
fuel pressure available to the injector at three times
barometric pressure adjusted for engine load. It may be
serviced separate.
If the pressure is too low, poor performance and a DTC
P0131, DTC P0151,DTC P0171 or DTC P1171 will be
the result. If the pressure is too high, excessive odor
and/or a DTC P0132, DTC P0152,DTC P0172 or DTC
P0175 will be the result. Refer to Fuel System
Diagnosis for information on diagnosing fuel pressure
conditions.
0011
Fuel Pump Electrical Circuit
When the key is first turned “ON,” the PCM energizes
the fuel pump relay for two seconds to build up the fuel
pressure quickly. If the engine is not started within two
seconds, the PCM shuts the fuel pump off and waits
until the engine is cranked. When the engine is cranked
and the 58 X crankshaft position signal has been
detected by the PCM, the PCM supplies 12 volts to the
fuel pump relay to energize the electric in-tank fuel
pump.
An inoperative fuel pump will cause a “no-start”
condition. A fuel pump which does not provide enough
pressure will result in poor performance.
Fuel Rail
The fuel rail is mounted to the top of the engine and
distributes fuel to the individual injectors. Fuel is
delivered to the fuel inlet tube of the fuel rail by the fuel
lines. The fuel goes through the fuel rail to the fuel
pressure regulator. The fuel pressure regulator
maintains a constant fuel pressure at the injectors.
Remaining fuel is then returned to the fuel tank.
055RW009
Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve
The purpose of the idle air control (IAC) valve is to
control engine idle speed, while preventing stalls due to
changes in engine load. The IAC valve, mounted in the
throttle body, controls bypass air around the throttle
plate. By moving the conical valve (pintle) in (to
decrease air flow) or out (to increase air flow), a
controlled amount of air can move around the throttle
plate. If the RPM is too low, the PCM will retract the IAC
pintle, resulting in more air moving past the throttle plate
to increase the RPM. If the RPM is too high, the PCM
will extend the IAC pintle, allowing less air to move past
the throttle plate, decreasing the RPM.
The IAC pintle valve moves in small steps called counts.
During idle, the proper position of the IAC pintle is
calculated by the PCM based on battery voltage,
coolant temperature, engine load, and engine RPM. If
the RPM drops below a specified value, and the throttle
plate is closed, the PCM senses a near-stall condition.
The PCM will then calculate a new IAC pintle valve
position to prevent stalls.
If the IAC valve is disconnected and reconnected with
the engine running, the idle RPM will be wrong. In this
case, the IAC must be reset. The IAC resets when the
key is cycled “ON” then “OFF.” When servicing the IAC,
it should only be disconnected or connected with the
ignition “OFF.
The position of the IAC pintle valve affects engine
start-up and the idle characteristics of the vehicle. If the
IAC pintle is fully open, too much air will be allowed into
the manifold. This results in high idle speed, along with
possible hard starting and a lean air/fuel ratio. DTC
P0507 or DTC P1509 may set. If the IAC pintle is stuck
closed, too little air will be allowed in the manifold. This
results in a low idle speed, along with possible hard
starting and a rich air/fuel ratio. DTC P0506 or DTC
P1508 may set. If the IAC pintle is stuck part-way
open, the idle may be high or low and will not respond to
changes in the engine load.
0006
Run Mode
The run mode has the following two conditions:
Open loop
Closed loop
When the engine is first started the system is in “open
loop” operation. In “open loop,” the PCM ignores the
signal from the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S). It
calculates the air/fuel ratio based on inputs from the TP,
ECT, and MAF sensors.
The system remains in “open loop” until the following
conditions are met:
The HO2S has a varying voltage output showing that
it is hot enough to operate properly (this depends on
temperature).
The ECT has reached a specified temperature.
A specific amount of time has elapsed since starting
the engine.
Engine speed has been greater than a specified RPM
since start-up.
The specific values for the above conditions vary with
different engines and are stored in the programmable
read only memory (PROM). When these conditions are
met, the system enters “closed loop” operation. In
“closed loop,” the PCM calculates the air/fuel ratio
(injector on-time) based on the signal from the HO2S.
This allows the air/fuel ratio to stay very close to 14.7:1.
Starting Mode
When the ignition is first turned “ON,” the PCM
energizes the fuel pump relay for two seconds to allow
the fuel pump to build up pressure. The PCM then
checks the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
and the throttle position (TP) sensor to determine the
proper air/fuel ratio for starting.
The PCM controls the amount of fuel delivered in the
starting mode by adjusting how long the fuel injectors
are energized by pulsing the injectors for very short
times.
Throttle Body Unit
The throttle body has a throttle plate to control the
amount of air delivered to the engine. The TP sensor
and IAC valve are also mounted on the throttle body.
Vacuum ports located behind the throttle plate provide
the vacuum signals needed by various components.
Engine coolant is directed through a coolant cavity in
the throttle body to warm the throttle valve and to
prevent icing.
0019
General Description (Electronic Ignition
System)
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
As the camshaft sprocket turns, a magnet in the
sprocket activates the Hall-effect switch in the CMP
sensor. When the Hall-effect switch is activated, it
grounds the signal line to the PCM, pulling the camshaft
position sensor signal circuit's applied voltage low. This
is a CMP signal. The CMP signals is created as piston
#1 is approximately 25° after top dead counter on the
power stroke. If the correct CMP signal is not received
by the PCM, DTC P0341 will be set.
0014
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor provides a signal
used by the powertrain control module (PCM) to
calculate the ignition sequence. The sensor initiates
the 58X reference pulses which the PCM uses to
calculate RPM and crankshaft position.
Electronic Ignition
The electronic ignition system controls fuel combustion
by providing a spark to ignite the compressed air/fuel
mixture at the correct time. To provide optimum engine
performance, fuel economy, and control of exhaust
emissions, the PCM controls the spark advance of the
ignition system. Electronic ignition has the following
advantages over a mechanical distributor system:
No moving parts.
Less maintenance.
Remote mounting capability.
No mechanical load on the engine.
More coil cooldown time between firing events.
Elimination of mechanical timing adjustments.
Increased available ignition coil saturation time.
0013
Ignition Coils
A separate coil-at-plug module is located at each spark
plug. The coil-at-plug module is attached to the engine
with two screws. It is installed directly to the spark plug
by an electrical contact inside a rubber boot. A
three-way connector provides 12-volt primary supply
from the 15-amp ignition fuse, a ground-switching
trigger line from the PCM, and a ground.
0001
Ignition Control
The ignition control (IC) spark timing is the PCM's
method of controlling the spark advance and the ignition
dwell.
The IC spark advance and the ignition dwell are
calculated by the PCM using the following inputs:
Engine speed.
Crankshaft position (58X reference).
Camshaft position (CMP) sensor.
Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor.
Throttle position (TP) sensor.
Knock signal (knock sensor).
Park/Neutral position (PRNDL input).
Vehicle speed (vehicle speed sensor).
PCM and ignition system supply voltage.
The crankshaft positron (CKP) sensor sends the
PCM a 58X signal related to the exact position of the
crankshaft.
TS22909
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor sends a signal
related to the position of the camshaft.
TS22910
The knock sensor tells the PCM if there is any
problem with pre-ignition or detonation. This
information allows the PCM to retard timing, if
necessary.
TS24037
Based on these sensor signals and engine load
information, the PCM sends 5V to each ignition coil.
060RW015
The PCM applies 5V signal voltage to the ignition coil
requiring ignition. This signal sets on the power
transistor of the ignition coil to establish a grounding
circuit for the primary coil, applying battery voltage to
the primary coil.
At the ignition timing, the PCM stops sending the 5V
signal voltage. Under this condition the power transistor
of the ignition coil is set off to cut the battery voltage to
the primary coil, thereby causing a magnetic field
generated in the primary coil to collapse. On this
moment a line of magnetic force flows to the secondary
coil, and when this magnetic line crosses the coil, high
voltage induced by the secondary ignition circuit to flow
through the spark plug to the ground.
TS24047
Ignition Control PCM Output
The PCM provides a zero volt (actually about 100 mV to
200 mV) or a 5-volt output signal to the ignition control
(IC) module. Each spark plug has its own primary and
secondary coil module ("coil-at-plug") located at the
spark plug itself. When the ignition coil receives the
5-volt signal from the PCM, it provides a ground path for
the B+ supply to the primary side of the coil-at -plug
module. This energizes the primary coil and creates a
magnetic field in the coil-at-plug module. When the
PCM shuts off the 5-volt signal to the ignition control
module, the ground path for the primary coil is broken.
The magnetic field collapses and induces a high voltage
secondary impulse which fires the spark plug and
ignites the air/fuel mixture.
The circuit between the PCM and the ignition coil is
monitored for open circuits, shorts to voltage, and shorts
to ground. If the PCM detects one of these events, it will
set one of the following DTCs:
P0351: Ignition coil Fault on Cylinder #1
P0352: Ignition coil Fault on Cylinder #2
P0353: Ignition coil Fault on Cylinder #3
P0354: Ignition coil Fault on Cylinder #4
P0355: Ignition coil Fault on Cylinder #5
P0356: Ignition coil Fault on Cylinder #6
Knock Sensor (KS) PCM Input
The knock sensor (KS) system is comprised of a knock
sensor and the PCM. The PCM monitors the KS
signals to determine when engine detonation occurs.
When a knock sensor detects detonation, the PCM
retards the spark timing to reduce detonation. Timing
may also be retarded because of excessive mechanical
engine or transmission noise.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
The PCM is responsible for maintaining proper spark
and fuel injection timing for all driving conditions. To
provide optimum driveability and emissions, the PCM
monitors the input signals from the following
components in order to calculate spark timing:
Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor.
Intake air temperature (IAT) sensor.
Mass air flow (MAF) sensor.
PRNDL input from transmission range switch.
Throttle position (TP) sensor.
Vehicle speed sensor (VSS) .
Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor.
Spark Plug
Although worn or dirty spark plugs may give satisfactory
operation at idling speed, they frequency fail at higher
engine speeds. Faulty spark plugs may cause poor fuel
economy, power loss, loss of speed, hard starting and
generally poor engine performance. Follow the
scheduled maintenance service recommendations to
ensure satisfactory spark plug performance. Refer to
Maintenance and Lubrication.
Normal spark plug operation will result in brown to
grayish-tan deposits appearing on the insulator portion
of the spark plug. A small amount of red-brown, yellow,
and white powdery material may also be present on the
insulator tip around the center electrode. These
deposits are normal combustion by-products of fuels
and lubricating oils with additives. Some electrode wear
will also occur. Engines which are not running properly
are often referred to asmisfiring. This means the
ignition spark is not igniting the air/fuel mixture at the
proper time. While other ignition and fuel system
causes must also be considered, possible causes
include ignition system conditions which allow the spark
voltage to reach ground in some other manner than by
jumping across the air gap at the tip of the spark plug,
leaving the air/fuel mixture unburned. Misfiring may also
occur when the tip of the spark plug becomes
overheated and ignites the mixture before the spark
jumps. This is referred to as “pre-ignition.
Spark plugs may also misfire due to fouling, excessive
gap, or a cracked or broken insulator. If misfiring occurs
before the recommended replacement interval, locate
and correct the cause.
Carbon fouling of the spark plug is indicated by dry,
black carbon (soot) deposits on the portion of the spark
plug in the cylinder. Excessive idling and slow speeds
under light engine loads can keep the spark plug
temperatures so low that these deposits are not burned
off. Very rich fuel mixtures or poor ignition system
output may also be the cause. Refer to DTC P0172.
Oil fouling of the spark plug is indicated by wet oily
deposits on the portion of the spark plug in the cylinder,
usually with little electrode wear. This may be caused
by oil during break-in of new or newly overhauled
engines. Deposit fouling of the spark plug occurs when
the normal red-brown, yellow or white deposits of
combustion by products become sufficient to cause
misfiring. In some cases, these deposits may melt and
form a shiny glaze on the insulator around the center
electrode. If the fouling is found in only one or two
cylinders, valve stem clearances or intake valve seals
may be allowing excess lubricating oil to enter the
cylinder, particularly if the deposits are heavier on the
side of the spark plug facing the intake valve.
TS23995
Excessive gap means that the air space between the
center and the side electrodes at the bottom of the
spark plug is too wide for consistent firing. This may be
due to improper gap adjustment or to excessive wear of
the electrode during use. A check of the gap size and
comparison to the gap specified for the vehicle in
Maintenance and Lubrication will tell if the gap is too
wide. A spark plug gap that is too small may cause an
unstable idle condition. Excessive gap wear can be an
indication of continuous operation at high speeds or
with engine loads, causing the spark to run too hot.
Another possible cause is an excessively lean fuel
mixture.
TS23992
Low or high spark plug installation torque or improper
seating can result in the spark plug running too hot and
can cause excessive center electrode wear. The plug
and the cylinder head seats must be in good contact for
proper heat transfer and spark plug cooling. Dirty or
damaged threads in the head or on the spark plug can
keep it from seating even though the proper torque is
applied. Once spark plugs are properly seated, tighten
them to the torque shown in the Specifications Table.
Low torque may result in poor contact of the seats due
to a loose spark plug. Overtightening may cause the
spark plug shell to be stretched and will result in poor
contact between the seats. In extreme cases, exhaust
blow-by and damage beyond simple gap wear may
occur.
Cracked or broken insulators may be the result of
improper installation, damage during spark plug
re-gapping, or heat shock to the insulator material.
Upper insulators can be broken when a poorly fitting
tool is used during installation or removal, when the
spark plug is hit from the outside, or is dropped on a
hard surface. Cracks in the upper insulator may be
inside the shell and not visible. Also, the breakage may
not cause problems until oil or moisture penetrates the
crack later.
TS23994
A broken or cracked lower insulator tip (around the
center electrode) may result from damage during
re-gapping or from “heat shock” (spark plug suddenly
operating too hot).
TS23993
Damage during re-gapping can happen if the gapping
tool is pushed against the center electrode or the
insulator around it, causing the insulator to crack.
When re-gapping a spark plug, make the adjustment
by bending only the ground side terminal, keeping the
tool clear of other parts.
"Heat shock" breakage in the lower insulator tip
generally occurs during several engine operating
conditions (high speeds or heavy loading) and may
be caused by over-advanced timing or low grade
fuels. Heat shock refers to a rapid increase in the tip
temperature that causes the insulator material to
crack.
Spark plugs with less than the recommended amount of
service can sometimes be cleaned and re-gapped ,
then returned to service. However, if there is any doubt
about the serviceability of a spark plug, replace it.
Spark plugs with cracked or broken insulators should
always be replaced.
A/C Clutch Diagnosis
A/C Clutch Circuit Operation
A 12-volt signal is supplied to the A/C request input of
the PCM when the A/C is selected through the A/C
control switch.
The A/C compressor clutch relay is controlled through
the PCM. This allows the PCM to modify the idle air
control position prior to the A/C clutch engagement for
better idle quality. If the engine operating conditions are
within their specified calibrated acceptable ranges, the
PCM will enable the A/C compressor relay. This is done
by providing a ground path for the A/C relay coil within
the PCM. When the A/C compressor relay is enabled,
battery voltage is supplied to the compressor clutch coil.
The PCM will enable the A/C compressor clutch
whenever the engine is running and the A/C has been
requested. The PCM will not enable the A/C
compressor clutch if any of the following conditions are
met:
The throttle is greater than 90%.
The engine speed is greater than 6315 RPM.
The ECT is greater than 119°C (246°F).
The IAT is less than 5°C (41°F).
The throttle is more than 80% open.
A/C Clutch Circuit Purpose
The A/C compressor operation is controlled by the
powertrain control module (PCM) for the following
reasons:
It improvises idle quality during compressor clutch
engagement.
It improvises wide open throttle (WOT) performance.
It provides A/C compressor protection from operation
with incorrect refrigerant pressures.
The A/C electrical system consists of the following
components:
The A/C control head.
The A/C refrigerant pressure switches.
The A/C compressor clutch.
The A/C compressor clutch relay.
The PCM.
A/C Request Signal
This signal tells the PCM when the A/C mode is
selected at the A/C control head. The PCM uses this to
adjust the idle speed before turning on the A/C clutch.
The A/C compressor will be inoperative if this signal is
not available to the PCM.
Refer to A/C Clutch Circuit Diagnosis for A/C wiring
diagrams and diagnosis for A/C electrical system.
General Description (Exhaust Gas
Recirculation (EGR) System)
EGR Purpose
The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system is use to
reduce emission levels of oxides of nitrogen (NOx).
NOx emission levels are caused by a high combustion
temperature. The EGR system lowers the NOx
emission levels by decreasing the combustion
temperature.
057RW002
Linear EGR Valve
The main element of the system is the linear EGR
valve. The EGR valve feeds small amounts of exhaust
gas back into the combustion chamber. The fuel/air
mixture will be diluted and combustion temperatures
reduced.
Linear EGR Control
The PCM monitors the EGR actual positron and adjusts
the pintle position accordingly. The uses information
from the following sensors to control the pintle position:
Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor.
Throttle position (TP) sensor.
Mass air flow (MAF) sensor.
Linear EGR Valve Operation and Results of
Incorrect Operation
The linear EGR valve is designed to accurately supply
EGR to the engine independent of intake manifold
vacuum. The valve controls EGR flow from the exhaust
to the intake manifold through an orifice with a PCM
controlled pintle. During operation, the PCM controls
pintle position by monitoring the pintle position feedback
signal. The feedback signal can be monitored with
Tech 2 as “Actual EGR Pos.” “Actual EGR Pos.”should
always be near the commanded EGR position ("Desired
EGR Pos."). If a problem with the EGR system will not
allow the PCM to control the pintle position properly,
DTC P1406 will set. The PCM also tests for EGR flow.
If incorrect flow is detected, DTC P0401 will set. If
DTCs P0401 and/or P1406 are set, refer to the DTC
charts.
The linear EGR valve is usually activated under the
following conditions:
Warm engine operation.
Above-idle speed.
Too much EGR flow at idle, cruise or cold operation may
cause any of the following conditions to occur:
Engine stalls after a cold start.
Engine stalls at idle after deceleration.
Vehicle surges during cruise.
Rough idle.
Too little or no EGR flow may allow combustion
temperatures to get too high. This could cause:
Spark knock (detonation).
Engine overheating.
Emission test failure.
DTC P0401 (EGR flow test).
Poor fuel economy.
0017
EGR Pintle Position Sensor
The PCM monitors the EGR valve pintle position input
to endure that the valve responds properly to
commands from the PCM and to detect a fault if the
pintle position sensor and control circuits are open or
shorted. If the PCM detects a pintle position signal
voltage outside the normal range of the pintle position
sensor, or a signal voltage that is not within a tolerance
considered acceptable for proper EGR system
operation, the PCM will set DTC P1406.
General Description (Positive Crankcase
Ventilation (PCV) System)
Crankcase Ventilation System Purpose
The crankcase ventilation system is use to consume
crankcase vapors in the combustion process instead of
venting them to the atmosphere. Fresh air from the
throttle body is supplied to the crankcase and mixed
with blow-by gases. This mixture is then passed
through the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve
into the common chamber.
Crankcase Ventilation System Operation
The primary control is through the positive crankcase
ventilation (PCV) valve. The PCV valve meters the flow
at a rate that depends on the intake vacuum. The PCV
valve restricts the flow when the inlet vacuum is highest.
In addition, the PCV valve can seal the common
chamber off in case of sudden high pressure in the
crankcase.
028RV002
While the engine is running, exhaust fuses and small
amounts of the fuel/air mixture escape past the piston
rings and enter the crankcase. These gases are mixed
with clean air entering through a tube from the air intake
duct.
028RW002
During normal, part-throttle operation, the system is
designed to allow crankcase gases to flow through the
PCV valve into the throttle body to be consumed by
normal combustion.
A plugged valve or PCV hose may cause the following

TOOL NAME
1. 5-8840-2607-0 (J-41413)EVAP Pressure/Purge
Diagnostic Station is a multipurpose tool which is
used to perform several diagnostic procedures for
enhanced emission testing. The station will
accommodate a nitrogen gas filled cylinder which is
used to pressurize the vehicle EVAP system for a
leakdown test and leak location test when a vehicle
is repaired for leakage in the enhanced evaporative
emission control system. It also has two additional
gauges (inches of mercury and inches of water)
which are used to measure both source vacuum
and EVAP canister purge vacuum to verify correct
operation and vapor flow within the canister purge
circuit.
2. 5-8840-2608-0 (J-41416) Ultrasonic Leak Detector
is a microprocessor-based device used to detect
leaks in the enhanced evaporative emission control
system. The evaporative system is pressurized to
30 inches of water using the 5-8840-2607-0
(J-41413) EVAP Pressure/Purge Diagnostic
System. Small leaks in the EVAP system will emit
sound at a high frequency undetectable by a human
ear but detectable with the 5-8840-2608-0
(J-41416). The technician traces along the
evaporative system and can pinpoint leaks due to
corroded lines, cracked hoses, or a damaged EVAP
component. The detector includes a high quality
set of headphones to block out surrounding shop
noise and the LED sensitivity meter allows a visual
reference for locating leaks in conjunction with the
audio output heard through the headphones.
Powered by (1) nine volt battery.
