Dr17 - Sensor Calibrations Check/Warm Engine
- Coolant Temperature Sensor - Connect DRB Tester (C-4805) to diagnostic connector. With a WARM engine, put system in Engine Running Test "64". If display on tester reads between 180-250°F (82-121°C), go to next step. If display on tester is not reading between 180-250°F (82-121°C), replace coolant temperature sensor.
- Throttle Position Sensor - With a WARM engine, put system in Sensor Test "05". If display on tester reads .5-1.5 volts with throttle fully closed and at least 3.5 volts at WOT, and voltage changes steadily during throttle movement, TPS is okay. Go to next step. If voltage readings are not within specifications, replace TPS.
- Start engine. Put system in Engine Running Test "65". Slowly increase engine speed to 2000 RPM. If voltage displayed on tester increases with engine speed, go to next step. If voltage does not increase as engine speed increases, replace TPS.
- With engine running at idle, put system in Engine Running Test "69". If display on tester is between 0-.1 volt, go to next step. If display on tester is reading more than .1 volt, replace TPS.
- Map Sensor - Turn engine off. Tee a vacuum gauge into vacuum line at MAP sensor. Start engine. Put system in Engine Running Test "68". If vacuum displayed on tester is within one in. Hg of vacuum shown on vacuum gauge, go to step 8). If vacuum displayed on tester is not within one in. Hg of vacuum shown on vacuum gauge, go to next step.
- With WARM engine, put system in Sensor Test "08". Disconnect vacuum hose from MAP sensor. Connect a vacuum pump to MAP sensor. Apply 5 in. Hg vacuum to sensor and record voltage displayed on tester. Slowly apply 20 in. Hg vacuum to sensor and record voltage displayed on tester. Subtract voltage readings recorded at 20 in. Hg vacuum from readings recorded from 5 in. Hg vacuum. Record result.
- If tester is showing an uninterrupted change of voltage between 5 and 20 in. Hg vacuum and voltage difference is between 2.3-2.9 volts, repair vacuum line to MAP sensor for a restriction. If tester is showing an interrupted change of voltage between 5 and 20 in. Hg vacuum and voltage difference is not between 2.3-2.9 volts, replace MAP sensor.
- Throttle Body Temperature Sensor - With tester connected to diagnostic connector on a WARM engine. Start engine. Put system in Engine Running Test "63". If display on tester reads between 1-4 volts, throttle body temperature sensor is okay, go to next step. If display on tester is not reading between 1-4 volts, replace throttle body temperature sensor.
- Heated Air Intake Temperature Sensor - With engine warm, disconnect air duct from air cleaner snorkel. Disconnect vacuum supply hose from heated air intake temperature sensor. Connect vacuum pump to sensor nipple. Apply vacuum. If vacuum does not hold and heated air door is still open, go to the following driveability tests:
If vacuum holds, replace heated air intake temperature sensor. If heated air intake door does not open, repair or replace door as necessary.
