Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR ANY SERVICE BULLETINS OR PCM SOFTWARE UPDATES 
    1. Check for any applicable Service Bulletins or Flash updates related to the DTC.

      Are there any applicable Service Bulletins or Flash updates?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  2
  2. READ AND RECORD DTCS AND ENVIRONMENTAL DATA - ERASE DTCS AND CHECK FOR THE DTC TO RETURN 
    1. With the scan tool, read DTCs in all Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and record on the repair order.
    2. For future reference, run and save a vehicle Scan Report and all related recorded data.
    3. With the scan tool, erase all DTCs.
    4. Turn the ignition off for a minimum of 10.0 seconds.
    5. Turn the ignition on.
    6. Using the When Monitored and Set Conditions above and recorded data, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
    7. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes 

      • Go To  5

      No 

      • Go To  3
  3. WIRE HARNESS/CKP SENSOR INSPECTION 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Verify that the CKP Sensor harness connector is fully seated and the primary lock is engaged at the sensor before disconnecting.
    3. Start the engine and wiggle test the wiring harness and connectors in attempt to duplicate the problem.
    4. Turn the ignition off.
    5. Disconnect the harness connectors at the PCM and Crank Sensor and inspect for wire chaffing or rub conditions, terminals pushed out on the wiring connector, bent terminals at the PCM and Crank Sensor, water in the connector cavities, presence of corrosion on the terminals of the connectors or components.
    6. Visually inspect the mounting area of Crank Sensor for debris/damage or a loose sensor.

      Were any problems found?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  4
  4. CHECK THE VEHICLES REPAIR HISTORY 
    1. Check the history of the vehicle for previous Crank Sensor related DTCs within the past 30 days. Verify if the Crank Sensor was replaced during the visit.

      Did the repair history show that the vehicle was in dealership for a crank sensor fault within the past 30 days?

      Yes, and the Crank Sensor was replaced on previous visit 

      • Wiggle test the wiring harness and connectors again and try to duplicate the issue. If not able to duplicate, remove the Crank Sensor, and visually inspect the sensor mounting location for damage, foreign material.
      • Inspect the target wheel for any signs of damage by placing a bore scope into the CKP Sensor bore and manually rotate the engine slowly using a wrench on the crank damper bolt. For stamped steel targets, pay close attention to the light reflection of the bore scope light on each tooth. If a tooth is bent, the reflection (bright spot) will move in relation to the reflection of the other teeth that are not bent. The light reflection will remain in the same location on each tooth if none of the teeth are bent. For powder metal targets, look for any tooth that is dull or does not shine as compared to the other teeth. The rough surface that remains from a tooth that has broken off appears to be dull/non-reflective.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      Yes, and the Crank Sensor was not replaced on the last visit 

      • Replace the Crank Sensor in accordance with the Service Information. With the scan tool, perform the Cam/Crank Relearn Procedure. The Cam/Crank Relearn Procedure must be performed every time there has been a repair/replacement made to a CMP Sensor and/or CKP Sensor, flywheel, valvetrain, timing chain or gears. Failure to do so can cause a misfire fault to set.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Test complete. Reconnect the harness connectors and erase the DTC. The most likely cause was a poor connection at one of the harness connectors.
  5. CHECK FOR OTHER DTCS 
    1. Refer to the recorded DTCs.

      Are there any 5-Volt Reference DTCs present?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  6
  6. CHECK THE (F855) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT VOLTAGE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.

  8. CHECK THE (K925) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the (K925) Sensor Ground circuit between the CKP Sensor harness connector and the PCM C2 harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?
