Diagnostic Test

COMPARE THE ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE (EOT) SENSOR VALUE TO OTHER TEMPERATURE SENSORS
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Allow the vehicle to sit with the ignition off in an environment where the temperature is consistent and above -7°C (19.4°F) until the engine coolant temperature is equal to ambient temperature.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. With the scan tool, compare the EOT sensor value to the AAT, ECT, and IAT Sensor values.
  Is the EOT Sensor value within 10°C (18°F) of the other sensor values?
  
  Yes
  - Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
  No

ISOLATE AND CHECK THE EOT SENSOR (G224) PRESSURE SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
1. The ignition must be off when checking the continuity of a circuit.
2. Isolate the circuit by disconnecting the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and the component harness connector containing the circuit being tested. Note: Use the appropriate wiring diagram as a guide to follow the path of the circuit.
3. Before measuring the resistance of any circuit, first measure the resistance between the two leads of the DVOM. Note: The meter leads can add resistance to the measurement value.
4. Connect one lead of the DVOM to the circuit being tested at the component harness connector.
5. Connect the other lead to the circuit being tested at the GPEC Adaptor and measure the resistance of the circuit.
CAUTION:
Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install the GPEC Diagnostic Adaptor to perform the diagnosis.
1. If it is necessary to probe a terminal at a PCM harness connector, connect the (special tool #10436, Adapter, GPEC Diagnostic) to the appropriate PCM harness connector.
  NOTE:
  The GPEC Diagnostic Adaptor can add up to 1.5 Ohms of resistance to the circuit.
  
  Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 3
  No
  - Repair the circuit for an open or high resistance.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
ISOLATE AND CHECK THE (K900) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE

  Yes
  - Go To 4
  No
  - Repair the circuit for an open or high resistance.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
CHECK THE EOT SENSOR (G224) POSITION SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR PROPER VOLTAGE AT THE EOT SENSOR HARNESS CONNECTOR
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the harness connector at the component of the circuit being tested. Note: The ECU harness connector should still be connected during this test step.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. Set the DVOM to measure DC voltage.
5. Connect the negative lead of the DVOM to a known good ground.
6. With the positive lead of the DVOM, measure the voltage of the circuit being tested at the component harness connector.
CAUTION:
Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install the GPEC Diagnostic Adaptor to perform the diagnosis.
1. If it is necessary to probe a terminal at a PCM harness connector, connect the (special tool #10436, Adapter, GPEC Diagnostic) to the appropriate PCM harness connector.
  NOTE:
  The GPEC Diagnostic Adaptor can add up to 1.5 Ohms of resistance to the circuit.
  
  NOTE:
  Normal operating voltage should be between 4.8 and 5.2 volts.
  
  Does the circuit have the proper voltage present?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) Sensor if no problems were found with the connectors. Refer to ENGINE SENSORS, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  No

CHECK RELATED PCM AND COMPONENT CONNECTIONS
1. Perform any Service Bulletins that apply.
2. Disconnect all PCM harness connectors.
3. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
4. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
5. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
  - Proper connector installation.
  - Damaged connector locks.
  - Corrosion.
  - Other signs of water intrusion.
  - Weather seal damage (if equipped).
  - Bent terminals.
  - Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
  - Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
  - Check for spread terminals and verify proper terminal tension.
  Repair any conditions that are found.
6. Reconnect all PCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
