Diagnostic Test

  1. 1) PRE-DIAGNOSTIC CHECK OUT 
    NOTE: Always perform diagnostics with a fully charged battery.
    NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary. Poor pin to terminal connections can set DTCs.
    NOTE: Check for applicable TSBs related to the problem.

    Turn the ignition on.

    With the scan tool, read PCM DTCs.

    Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors. Repair as necessary.

    Perform this procedure prior to symptom diagnosis. 

    Continue 

    1. Go to  2).
  2. 2) CHECK FOR CURRENT DTC 
    NOTE: Check for contaminates that may have damaged the O2 Sensor: contaminated fuel, unapproved silicone, oil and coolant.
    NOTE: Diagnose any Misfire, Throttle Body, or Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor DTC(s) first, if set along with the fuel system DTC.
    NOTE: If the PCM detects and stores a DTC, the PCM also stores the engine/vehicle operating conditions under which the DTC was set. Some of these conditions are displayed on the scan tool at the same time the DTC is displayed.
    NOTE: Before erasing stored DTCs, record these conditions. Attempting to duplicate these conditions may assist when checking for a DTC.

    Turn the ignition on.

    With the scan tool, erase PCM DTCs.

    NOTE: It maybe necessary to road test the vehicle for this DTC to set.

    With the scan tool, read PCM DTCs.

    Did this DTC set again? 

    Yes 

    1. Go to  3).

    No 

    1. Go to  13).
  3. 3) CHECKING FUEL PRESSURE 
    WARNING: THE FUEL SYSTEM IS UNDER A CONSTANT PRESSURE (EVEN WITH THE ENGINE OFF). BEFORE TESTING OR SERVICING ANY FUEL SYSTEM HOSE, FITTING OR LINE, THE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE MUST BE RELEASED.

    Turn the ignition off.

    Install a fuel pressure gauge.

    Turn the ignition on.

    With the scan tool, actuate the Fuel Pump and observe the fuel pressure gauge.

    NOTE: Fuel pressure specification is 3.7 to 4.2 bar (54 to 61 psi).

    Turn the ignition off.

    CAUTION: Stop All Actuations.

    Choose a conclusion that best matches your fuel pressure reading. 

    Within Specification 

    1. Go to  4).

    Below Specification 

    1. Go to  12).
  4. 4) O2 SENSOR OPERATION  
    NOTE: If one of the O2 Sensors Signal or Ground circuits are shorted to ground or voltage, all the other O2 Sensor voltage readings will be affected.
    NOTE: After the repairs have been made, verify proper O2 Sensor operation. If all the O2 Sensor voltage readings have not returned to normal, follow the diagnostic procedure for the remaining O2 Sensors.

    Start the engine.

    Allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature.

    With the scan tool, read the O2 Sensor voltage.

    Is the voltage switching between 0.4 and 0.6 volt? 

    Yes 

    1. Go to  5).

    No 

    1. Go to  9).
  5. 5) O2 SENSOR HEATER OPERATION 

    Turn the ignition off.

    NOTE: Allow the O2 Sensor to cool down before continuing the test. Raising the hood may help in reducing under hood temperatures.

    Connect a jumper wire between ground and the Oxygen Sensor Heater Control circuit at the PCM harness connector leaving the harness connector connected to the PCM.

    Turn the ignition on.

    With the scan tool, monitor O2 Sensor voltage for at least 2 minutes.

    CAUTION: Remove the jumper wire after this Step is complete.

    Does the voltage stay above 0.6 volt? 

    Yes 

    1. Replace the Oxygen Sensor. Refer to REMOVAL .
    2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - VER 2 .

    No 

    1. Go to  6).
  6. 6) MAP SENSOR OPERATION  

    Turn the ignition off.

    Connect a Vacuum Gauge to a Manifold Vacuum source.

    Start the engine.

    Allow the engine to idle.

    NOTE: If engine will not idle, maintain a constant RPM above idle.

    With the scan tool, read the MAP Sensor vacuum value.

    Is the scan tool reading within 33.9 mbar (1 in. Hg) of the Vacuum Gauge reading? 

    Yes 

    1. Go to  7).

    No 

    1. Replace the Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor. Refer to REMOVAL .
    2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - VER 2 .
  7. 7) ECT SENSOR OPERATION 
    NOTE: For this test to be valid, the thermostat must be operating correctly.
    NOTE: This test works best if performed on a cold engine (cold soak)

    Turn the engine off.

    Turn the ignition on.

    With the scan tool, read the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor value. If the engine was allowed to sit overnight (cold soak), the temperature value should be a sensible value that is somewhere close to the ambient temperature.

    NOTE: If engine coolant temperature is above 82°C (180°F), allow the engine to cool until 65°C (150°F) is reached.

    Start the engine.

    During engine warm-up, monitor the ECT Sensor value. The temperature value change should be a smooth transition from start up to normal operating temperature 82°C (180°F). The value should reach at least 82°C (180°F).

    Did the ECT value increase with a smooth transition and did it reach at least 82°C (180°F)? 

    Yes 

    1. Go to  8).

    No 

    1. Replace the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor. Refer to REMOVAL .
    2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - VER 2 .
