Test Sequence I

  1. With vehicle prepared as specified, place switch in "Vref" (reference voltage) position. Note voltage reading.

    Reading should be 8.5-9.5 volts. If not, perform REFERENCE VOLTAGE (VREF) NOT WITHIN LIMITS  procedure. See COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS  in this article.

    NOTE: If reference voltage limits are incorrect, the REFERENCE VOLTAGE (VREF) NOT WITHIN LIMITS procedure must be performed and limits corrected before proceeding with remainder of TEST SEQUENCE I.
  2. Set switch to "MAP" position. Note voltage reading. Reading should be within limits shown in VOLTAGE LIMIT/ALTITUDE VARIATION table. If not, complete test sequence before performing COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS testing and repairs.
  3. Set switch to "TP". Note voltage reading. Reading should be 1.65-2.14 volts. If not, complete test sequence before performing COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS testing and repairs.
  4. Set switch to "BP". Note voltage reading. Reading should be within limits shown in VOLTAGE LIMIT/ALTITUDE VARIATION table. If not, complete test sequence before performing COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS testing and repairs.
    VOLTAGE LIMIT/ALTITUDE VARIATION

    Elevation (Feet) MAP & BP Limits (Volts)
    0-1000 6.7-7.8
    1000-2000 6.5-7.4
    2000-3000 6.2-7.3
    3000-4000 6.0-7.0
    4000-5000 5.8-6.8
    5000-6000 5.5-6.6
    6000-7000 5.3-6.4
  5. Set switch to "ECT". Note voltage reading. Reading should be 1.9-3.7 volts. If not, complete test sequence before performing COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS testing and repairs.
  6. Set switch to "IAT". Note voltage reading. Reading should be 4.1-6.3 volts. If not, complete test sequence before performing COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS testing and repairs.
  7. Set switch to "TAB". Note voltage reading. Reading should be greater than 10.5 volts. If not, complete test sequence before performing COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS testing and repairs.
  8. Set switch to "EVP". Note voltage reading. Reading should be 1.09-1.61 volts. If not, complete test sequence (I and II) before performing COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS testing and repairs.
    NOTE: After completing "Test Sequence I", go to "TEST SEQUENCE II " and complete sequence before attempting repairs on sensors/circuit which did not meet specifications (except as noted).
