Test TC-146A - 5 Volt Supply Output Too Low
NOTE:
For connector terminal ID, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION Directory. For wiring diagram, see WIRING DIAGRAMS
article.
- Turn ignition on with engine off. Disconnect Throttle Position (TP) sensor connector. Using scan tool in voltmeter mode, check voltage on TP sensor connector 5-volt supply circuit. See the TP SENSOR CONNECTOR WIRE IDENTIFICATION table. If voltage is less than 4.5 volts, go to next step. If voltage is 4.5 volts or more, go to TEST TC-146B.
- With scan tool voltmeter still connected to TP sensor connector 5-volt supply circuit, disconnect Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor electrical connector. If voltage is 4 volts or less, go to next step. If voltage is more than 4 volts, replace MAP sensor. Perform TEST VER-2A.
- Disconnect A/C pressure sensor connector. If voltage is 4 volts or less, go to next step. If voltage is more than 4 volts, replace A/C pressure sensor. Perform TEST VER-2A.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connector. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of TP sensor 5-volt supply circuit at TP sensor connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground on TP sensor 5-volt supply circuit. See the TP SENSOR CONNECTOR WIRE IDENTIFICATION table. Perform TEST VER-2A. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, replace PCM. Perform TEST VER-2A.
