approximately 15 ml (one tp.blespoon) of engine
oil into the combustion chamber through the spark
plug hole. Recheck the compression and record
the reading.
10. The minimum compression in any one cylinder
should not be less than 70 percent of the highest
cylinder. No cylinder should r.ead less than.
690 kPa (100 psi). For example, if the highest
pressure in any one cylinder is
1 035 kPa (150 psi), the lowest allowable pressure
any other cylinder would be 725 kPa (105 psi).
(1 035 x 70% = 725) (150x 70% = 105).

Eng1ine Noise Diagnosis (Base Engine)


Notice: Some engine noise is.Characteristic to
the design. Compare the sounds in other engines in
order to make sure that you are not trying to correct a
normal condition.
There are four steps to diagnosing engine noise.
They include:

The type of noise


Under which operating conditions it exists
At what rate in the engine
At what location in the engine

6-23

Compare the sounds in other engines to ensure


the noise is not a normal condition.
Remember, engine noise is generally
synchronized to either engine speed (caused by
the crankshaft, connecting rods or pistons) or .
one-half engine speed (valve train noise). Try to
determine the rate at which the noise is occurring.

Main Bearing Noise


Damaged or worn main bearing noise is revealed
by dull thuds or knocks which happen on every
engine revolution. This noise is loudest when the
engine is under heavy load.
Excessive crankshaft end play is indicated by an
intermittent rap or knock sharper than a worn
main bearing.
The following are causes of main bearing noise:
- Low oil pump pressure
- Thin, diluted, or dirty oil and/or filter
- Excessive main bearing clearance
- Excessive crankshaft end play
- Out-of-round crankshaft journals
- Loose c.rankshaft pulley
- Loose flywheel or torque converter
Loose main bearing cap
- Belt pilling

Connecting Rod Bearing Noise


A damaged or worn connecting rod bearing will
produce a knock under all speeds. During the early
stages of wear, connecting rod noise may be confused
with piston slap or loose piston pins. Connecting rod
knock noise increases in volume with engine
speed and is at its lou.dest on deceleration.
The following are causes of connecting rod
bearing noise:
~ Excessive bearing clearance
Worn crankshaft connecting rod journal
Thin, diluted, or dirty oil and/or filter
Low oil pressure
Crankshaft connecting rod journals out-of-round
Misaligned connecting rod
Connecting rod bolts not properly torqued
The wrong bearing inserts or misaligned
bearing half

Engine

Timing Gear or Chain and Sprocket Noise

Rattle (Balance Shatt)

Engines designed with timing gears, or tho.se equipped


with a timing chain and sprockets, can produce
different noise. The most common noise is a high
frequency, light-knocking sound. This sound will
generally be the same in intensity whether the engine
is idling, operating at high speeds, or under load:
The following are causes of timing gear or chain and
sprocket noise:
Worn timing chain and/or gears
Misaligned gears
Excessive backlash
A damaged tooth
Gear or sprocket loose on the shaft
Too much end play in the camshaft or crankshaft
Loose or improperly seated camshaft timing gears are
usually loudest when warm. They are speed sensitive
only. They are not load sensitive.
Cam gear noise will usually be evident at a warm idle
in neutral and sounds much like a loose timing chain.

Balance shaft rattle sounds like a tinny, cha~ery rattle


or a knocking noise that seems to come from the
top rear of the engine. This noise is most pronounced
when the engine is hot, and is not affected by
engine load. An example would be dirt lodged in the
root between two gear teeth. Each time the root
between two balance shaft gear teeth meshes with a
cam gear.tooth, the balance shaft is momenJarily
forced upward. This pivots the shaft through the front
bearing, causing a downward force on the rear
bearing that eventually wears the rear bearirig; causing
a rattle. The following are other factors that contribute
to balance shaft bearing rattle:

A tight link on the timing chain


Damaged, broken, or dirty teeth on the balance
'
shaft gears
Aworn timing chain tensioner
Misaligned rear balance shaft bushing

Piston Noise

the torque converter clutch apply surface and


cause a shudder condition.
A loose or cracked flywheel will produce an irregular
thud or.click. To test for a loose.or cracked_flywheel,
operate the vehicle at approximately 32 km/h (20 mph)
and shut off the engine. If a thud is heard, the
flywheel may be loose or damaged. This type of thud
is loudest on deceleration. Loose torque
converter-to-flywheel or flywheel-to~crankshaft bolts
will resemble a bearing knock. This concjitiori produces
several raps during quick acceleration on a
free-running engine. Depending on the idle
smoothness, when the transaxle is in gear, the noise
may or may not appear. Check the torque
converter-to-flywheel and the flywheeHo-crankshaft
bolts before attempting to investigate any
bearing-related knock.

Piston pin, piston, and connecting rod noise are hard


to separate. A loose piston pin, for example, causes
a sharp double knock usually heard when the engine is
idling, or during sudden acceleration then deceleration
of the engine. A piston pin that has been improperly
fitted will emit a light ticking noise that is more
noticeable with no load on the engine. Excessive
piston-to-cylinder bore clearance.will caus~ a piston
slap noise. The noise is similar to a metallic knock, as
if the piston were slapping.the cyiinder waH during
its stroke. As with most engine noise, understanding
the cause of the noise will help you imagirie what
the noise sounds like. An indication of pistqn slap is a
decrease in noise as the engine warms up. When
the engine is cold, the piston-to-bore clearance
is greater and piston slap will be louder. The following
are causes of piston noise:
Worn or loose piston pin orbushing
Improper pin fit
Excessive piston~to-cylinder .bore clearance
Lack of lubrication
Carbon deposits on top of the piston striking the
cylinder head
Worn or broken piston ring land
Broken or cracked piston
Misaligned connecting rods
Worn or damaged rings
Excessive ring land clearance
Insufficient ring-end gap clearance
Piston 180 degrees out of position
Incorrect skirt profiles

Flywheel Noise
Notice: 9onverter bolts that are too. long may dimple

Knocks Cold and Continues for 2 to 3 Minutes


Cold engine knock usually disappears when the
specific cyHnder secondary ignition circuit. is grounded
out. Cold engine piston knock which disappears in
1.5 minutes sho.uld be considered acceptable.
Engine flywheel contacting the transmission
converter cover - reposition the transmission
converter cover.
Loose or broken crankshaft balancer or the drive
pulleys - tighten or replace the crankshaft
balancer or the drive pulleys as necessary.
Excessive piston-to-bore clearance - replace the

piston.

wrong side. Properly install the pistdn.
Ensure that the camshaft drive gear backlash is
not excessive. The knock will also be heard on
a cold engine.

Knocks on Start-Up but Only Lasts a


Few Seconds

The following conditio.ns may produce engine knocks


on initial start-up, but only last a few seconds:
Improper oil viscosity
- Install the proper oil viscosity for the
expected temperatur~s.
- Refer to Maintenance and Lubrication.
Lifter bleed down - clean, test, and replace the
lifter as necessary.
- When the engine is off, some valves will be
open. Spring pressure against the lifters will
tend to bleed th~ liftElr dolJYn.Hepair the
lifter only if the problem is consistent.
- Engines operated for only short periods
between start-ups may have lifter noise that
lasts for a few seconds. This is a normal
condition.
Excessive crankshaft end play - replace the
crankshaft thrust bearing.
" Excessive front main bearing clearance - rep.lace
the worn parts.

Timing chain tensioner malfunction - clean,


inspect and, replace the timing chain tensioner, if
required.

Heavy Knock Hot in Heavy Load Condition


Broken crankshaft balancer or pulley hub replace the parts as necessary.
loose torque converter bolts - tighten the bolts.
The drive belt is too tight or nicked - replace
the drive belt as necessary.
The exhaust system is grounded - reposition the
exhaust system components as necessary.

The flywheel is cracked - replace the flywheel.


O Excessive crankshaft main bearing clearance
- replace the crankshaft main bearings as
necessary.
Excessive connecting rod bearing clearance replace the connecting rod bearings as
necessary.

light Knock Hot in light Load Condition


Light knock hot may be caused by one or. more of the
following conditions:
Loose torque converter bolts - tighten the torque
converter bolts.
Leak at the exhaust manifold - tighten the bolts
and replace the exhaust manifold gasket if
necessary.
Excessive connecting rod bearing clearance replace the connecting rod bearings as
necessary.
Detonation or spark knock, refer to Engine
Controls.

Engine Noise Diagnosis (Valve Train)


A light tapping at one-half engine speed, or any
varying frequency, can indicate a valve train problem.
These tapping noises increase with the engine
speed. Warm up the engine before attempting to judge
the valve train noise. This will bring all of the engine
components to a normal state of expansion. Run
the engine at various speeds and listen for engine
noise with the hood closed.

Caution: The following procedure is not


recommended. on engines with stainless steel
exhaust manifolds because manifold temperature
will exceed the flash point of the oil causing a
fire with possible personal injury.
If the valve mechanism is abnormally noisy, remove
the valve rocker arm covers and use a stethoscope to
determine which valve train components are causing
the noise. The causes of the valve noise include
the following conditions:
Broken or.weak valve springs
Sticking or warped valves
Bent push rods
Dirty, stuck, or worn valve lifters
Damaged or improperly machined camshaft lobes
Insufficient or poor oil supply to the valve train
(low oil pressure)
Excessive valve stem-to-guide clearance
Worn valve guides
Worn push rods
Worn valve rocker arms
Broken valve rocker arm bolt
Loose or worn valve rocker arm attachments
Missing or improperly positioned lifter guides (roller
lifter engines)

An engine that has excessive oil consumption uses
0.9L (1 qt) of oil, or more, within 2,000 mi (3 20.0 km).
The following list indicates the conditions and
corrections of excessive oil consumption:
An improperly read oil level indicator (dipstick)
- Inspect the oil level while the vehicle is
parked on a level surface.
- Allow adequate drain-down time.
Improper oil viscosity
- Use the recommended SAE viscosity for
prevailing temperatures.
- Refer to Maintenance and Lubrication for the
proper oil viscosity specifications.
Continuous high-speed driving
Severe hauling, such as a trailer. This causes
decreased oil mileage.
A malfunctioning crankcase ventilation system

Drive Belt Chirping Diagnosis


Diagnostic Aids
The symptom may be intermittent due to moisture on
the drive belt or the pulleys. It may be necessary
to spray a small amount of water on the drive belt ih
order to duplicate the customers concern. If spraying
water on the drive belt duplicates the symptom,
cleaning the belt pulleys may be .the probable solution.
A loose or improper installation of a body component,
a suspension component, or other item(s) on the
vehicle may cause the chirping noise.

Test Description
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on
the diagnostic table.
2. The noise may not be engine related. This step is
to verify that the engine is making the noise. If
the engine is not making the noise do not proceed
further with this table.
3. Th.e noise may be an internal engine noise.
Remove the drive belt and operate the engine for
a brief period, this will verify if the chirping
noise is related to the drive belt. With the drive
belt(s) removed the water pump may not operate
and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may
set when the engine is operated with the drive belt
removed.
4. Inspect all drive belt pulleys for pilling. Pilling .is
the small balls or pills or it may be strings in
the drive belt grooves from the accumulation of
rubber dust.

6. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from


improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory
drive component pulley, or the pulley may be
bent inward or outward from a previous repair.
Test for a misaligned pulley using a straight edge
in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys.
If a misaligned pulley is found, refer to that
accessory drive component for the proper
installation procedure for that pulley.
10. Inspection of the fasteners can eliminate the
possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer
was installed.
12. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should
include inspecting for dents or other damage to

the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt


from not seating properly in all of the pulley
grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when
the back side of the belt is used to drive the
pulley.
14. Replacing the drive belt when it is not damaged or
there is not excessive pilling will only be a
temporary repair.

Drive Belt Rumbling Diagnosis


Diagnostic Aids
Vibration when the engine is operating may cause a
body component or another part of the vehicle to
produce rumbling noise.
The drive belt may have a condition that can not be
seen or felt. Sometimes replacing the drive belt may be
the only repair for the symptom.
If replacing the drive belt, and completing the
diagnostic table, the noise is only heard when the
drive belt is installed, there may be an accessory drive
component failure. Varying the load on the accessory
drive components may aid in identifying which
accessory drive component is causing the
rumbling noise.

Test Description
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on
the diagnostic table.
2. This test is to verify that the symptom is present
during diagnosing. Other vehicle components
may cause a similar symptom.

3. This test is to verify that the drive belt is causing


the rumbling noise. The rumbling noise may be
confused with an internal engine noise due to the
similarity in the description. Remoye only
one drive belt at a time if the vehicle has multiple
drive belts. With the drive belt removed the
water pump may not be operate and the engine
may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the
engine is operated with the drive belt removed.
4. Inspect the drive belt to ensure that the drive belt
is not the cause of the noise. Small cracks
across the ribs of the drive belt will not cause the
rumbling noise. Belt separation is identified by
the plys of the drive belt separating, this may be
seen at the edge of the belt or felt as lump
in the belt.

Drive Belt Falls Off Diagnosis


Diagnostic Aids
If the drive belt repeatedly falls off the drive belt
pulleys, this may be caused by pulley misalignment.
An extra load that is quickly applied on released by an
accessory drive component may cause the drive
belt to fall off the pulleys. Verify that.the accessory
drive components operate properly.
If the drive belt is the incor.rect length, the drive belt
tensioner may not maintain the proper tension on
the drive belt.

Test Description
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on
the diagnostic table.
2. This inspection is to verify the c.ondition of the
drive belt. Damage may have occurred to the drive
belt when the drive belt fell off the pulley. The
drive belt may of been damaged in which
case caused the drive belt to fall off the pulley.
Inspect the drive be.It tor cuts, tears, sections
of ribs missing, or damaged belt plys.
4. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from
improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect iristallatiori of the accessory

drive component pulley, or the pulley being bent .


inward or outward from a previous repair. Test
for a misaligned pulley using a straight edge in the
pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a
misaligned pulley is foundrefer to that accessory
drive component for the proper installation
procedure of that pulley.
5. Inspect the pulleys for dents, bends or other
damage. Damage to the pulleys that would
prevent the drive belt from seating properly in the
pulley grooves. Damage would also prevent
proper alignment of the drive belt pulley, when the
smooth surface of the drive belt is required to
drive the pulley.
6. Accessory drive component brackets that are .bent
or cracked will let the drive belt fall off.
7. Inspection of the fasteners can eliminate the
possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer
was installed. Missing, loose, or the incorrect
fasteners may cause pulley misalignment from the
bracket moving under load. Over tightening of
the fasteners may cause misalignment of
the accessory component bracket.

Drive Belt Excessive Wear Diagnosis


Diagnostic Aids
Excessive wear on a drive belt is usually caused by
an incorrect installation or the wrong drive belt for the
application.
Minor misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will not
cause excessive wear, but will probably cause
the drive belt to make a noise or to fall off the
pulley (s).
Excessive misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will
cause excessive wear and may also make the
drive belt fall off the pulley.

3. The installation of a drive belt that is to wide or to


narrow will cause wear on the drive belt. The
drive belt ribs should match all of the grooves on
all of the pulleys.
4. This inspection is to verify the drive belt is not
contacting any parts of the engine or body
while the engine is operating. There should be
sufficient clearance when the drive belt accessory
drive components load varies. The drive belt
should not come in contact with an engine or a
body component when snapping the throttle.

Engine
Cylinder Boring and Honing
Boring Procedure
1. Before honing or boring, measure all of the new
pistons. Select the smallest piston for the piston
fitting. Slightly varied pistons in a set may provide
correction, if the first piston is too loosely fitted.
2. Before using any type of boring bar, file th.e top of
the engine block to remove any dirt or burrs. If the
cylinder block is not straight, the boring bar may
be tilted, causing the bored cylinder wall to
have incorrect right angles to the crankshaft.
3. Carefully follow the instructions fumished by the
manufacturer regarding use of equipment.
4. Install all crankshaft main bearing caps to
specification when boring cylinders. Cover or tape
the crankshaft bearings and other internal parts
to protect these parts during the boring or honing
operation.
5. Leave 0.03 mm (0.001 in) on the diameter for
finish honing when performing the final cut with
a boring bar. Carefully perform the honing
and boring operation to maintain the specified
clearances between pistons, rings, and
cylinder bores.

Honing Procedure

1. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for


use, cleaning, and lubrication when honing the
cylinders. Use only clean, sharp stones of
the proper grade for the amount of material to be
removed. Dull, dirty stones cut unevenly and
generate excessive heat. When using coarse or
medium-grade stones, leave sufficient metal so all
stone marks may be removed with the fine
stones used for finishing to provide the proper
clearance.
2. During the honing operation, thoroughly clean the
cylinder bore. Check for the correct piston fit.

Engine Mechanical.., 3.SL

6-191

3. Make full strokes in the cylinder to eliminate taper.


Repeatedly check the measurement at the top,
the middle, and the bottom of the cylinder bore.

Notice: Handle the pistons with care. Do not force the


pistons through the cylinder until you hone the
cylinder to the correct size. The piston can be distorted
through careless handling.
Important: The finish marks should be clean but not
sharp. The finish marks should be free from
imbedded particles and torn or folded metal.
4. When finish honing a cylinder bore to fit a piston,
move the hone up and down at a sufficient speed
to obtain a fine and uniform surface finish in a
cross hatch pattern.
5. Determine the finish hone cylinder measurement
by measuring the piston to be installed, and by
adding the average of the clearance specification.
Measure the block and the piston at normal
room temperature.
6. True up the refinished cylinder bores. Final hone
each cylinder bore to remove all stone or
cutter marks.
7. After final honing and before the piston is checked
for fit, clean the bores with hot water and
detergent. Scrub the bores with a stiff bristle
brush and rinse the bores thoroughly with
hot water. Do not allow any abrasive material to
remain in the cylinder bores. This abrasive
material will wear the new rings, the cylinder
bores, and the bearings lubricated by the
contaminated oil. After washing dry the bore.

Description and Operation


) Engine Component Description
Engine Construction
Starting at the front of the engine, the cylinders of the
left bank are numbered 1-3-5 and the cylinders of
the right bank are numbered 2-4-6. The crankshaft is
supported in the engine block by four bearings. The
crankshaft is counterbalanced by the flywheel,
the crankshaft balancer, and the weights cast into the
crankshaft. Additional counterbalancing is obtained
from the balance shaft which rides in the engine block
above the camshaft and is driven by the camshaft.
All 3800 engines are even-firing, the cylinders
fire at equal 120 degree intervals of crankshaft rotation.
The location of the crankshaft journals has been
offset by 30 degrees to fire the cylinders at 120 degree
intervals of crankshaft rotation. The camshaft lobes
and timing also reflect the 120 degree intervals.
The even firing crankshaft provides an equal interval
of 120 degrees between ignition of each of the
cylinders throughout the firing order. The firing order is
1-6-5-4-3-2. The aluminum alloy pistons have
slipper skirts and are cam turned. Four drilled holes or
casted slots in the oil ring grooves permit drain
back of the oil collected by the oil ring. The camshaft
is supported by four bearings in the engine block
and is driven by the crankshaft through sprockets and

a timing chain. The cylinder heads are cast iron


)
and incorporate integral valve stem guides. Right and
1
left cylinder heads are identical and are
interchangeable, but it is good practice to reinstall the
cylinder heads on the side from which they are
removed. The intake manifold is bolted to the inner
faces of both cylinder heads so it connects with
all inle1 ports.
Each exhaust and intake valve has a valve spring to
insure positive seating throughout the operating speed
range. The valve rocker arms for each bank of the
cylinders pivot on pedestals bolted to the cylinder
head. Hydraulic roller valve lifters and tubular push
rods are used to operate overhead rocker arms
and valves of both banks of the cylinders from a single
camshaft. This system requires no lash adjustment
at the 1ime of assembly or service.
In addition to its normal function of a cam follower,
each valve lifter also serves as an automatic adjuster
which maintains zero lash in the valve train under
all operating conditions. By eliminating all lash in the
valve train and also providing a cushion of oil to absorb
operating shocks, the valve lifter promotes quiet
valve operation. It also eliminates the need for periodic
valve adjustment to compensate for wear of parts:
Oil is supplied to the valve lifter through a hole in the
side of the valve lifter body which indexes with a
groove and a hole. in the valve lifter plunger. Oil is then
metered past the oil metering valve in the valve
\ lifter, through the push rods to the valve rocker arms.
) When the valve lifter begins to move up the
e;amshaft lobe, the check ball is held against its seat
in the plunger by the check ball spring which traps the
oil in the base of the valve lifter body belowthe
plunger.

The plunger and the valve lifter body then raise as a


unit, pushing up the push rod to open the valve.
The force of the valve spring which is exerted on the
plunger through the valve rocker arm and push
rod, causes a slight amount of leakage between the
plunger and the valve lifter body. This leakage allows a
slow escape of trapped oil in the base of the valve
lifter body. As the valve lifter .rolls down the other side
of the camshaft lobe and reaches the base circle or
valve closed position, the plunger sprir::ig quickly moves
the plunger back (up) to its original position. This
movement causes the check ball to open against the
ball spring, and any oil inside the plunger is drawn
into the base of the valve lifter. This restores the valve
lifter to the zero lash.

Drive Belt System Description


The drive belt system consists of the following
Components:
The drive belt
The drive belt tensioner
The drive belt idler pulley
The crankshaft balancer pulley
The accessory driv.e component mounting
brackets
The accessory drive components
- The power steering pump, if belt driven
- The generator
- The A/C compressor, if equipped
- The engine cooling fan, if belt driven
- The water pump, if belt driven
- The vacuum pump, if equipped
- The air compressor, if equipped
The drive belt system may use one belt or two belts.
The drive belt is thin so that it can bend backwards
and has several ribs to match the grooves in the
pulleys. There also may be a V-belt style belt used to
drive certain accessory drive components. The
drive belts are made of different types of rubbers
(chloroprene or EPDM) and have different layers or
plys containing either fiber cloth or cords for
reinforcement.
Both sides of the drive belt may be used to drive the
different accessory drive components. When the
back side of the drive belt is used to drive a pulley,
the pulley is smooth.
The drive. belt is pulled by the crankshaft balancer
pulley across the accessory drive component pulleys.
The spring loaded drive belt tensioner keeps
constant tension on the drive belt to prevent the drive
belt from slipping. The drive belt tensioner arm will
move when loads are applied to the drive belt by the
accessory drive components and the crankshaft.
The drive belt system may have an idler pulley, which
is used to add wrap to the adjacent pulleys. Some
systems use an idler pulley in place of an accessory
drive component when the vehicle is not equipped with
the accessory.

Engine

lubrication Description

44529

The engine lubrication system is of the force-feed


type. The oil is supplied under full pressure to
the crankshaft, connecting rods, valve lifters, camshaft,
and rear balance shaft bearing. A controlled volume
of oil is supplied to the valve rocker arms and
push rods. All other moving parts are lubricated by
gravity flow or splash. The engine oil is stored in the
lower crankcase (oil pan) which is filled through a
filler opening in the valve rocker arm cover. A
removable oil level indicator, on the left side of the
engine block, is provided to check the oil level. The oil
pump is located in the engine front cover and is
driven by the crankshaft. It is a gerotor-style pump
which is a combination of a gear and a rotor pump. It
is connected by a passage in the cylinder block to
an oil screen and pipe assembly. The screen is
submerged in the oil supply and has ample vol.ume for
all operating conditions. If the screen becomes
clogged, oil may be drawn into the system through the

oil pressure relief valve in the oil filter adapter. Oil is.
drawn into the pump through the screen and pipe
assembly, and a passage in the crankcase, connecting
to the passages in the engine front cover. Oil is

discharged from the oil pump to the oil filter adapter.


The oil filter adapter consists of an oil filter bypass
valve and a nipple for installation of an oil filter. The
spring-loaded oil pressure relief valve, located in.
the engine front cover, limits the oil pressure. The oil
filter bypass valve opens when the oil filter is
.
restricted to approximately 68.95 kPa (10 psi) of
pressure difference between the oil filter inlet and
discharge. The oil will then bypass the oil filter
and channel unfiltered oil directly to the main oil
galleries of the engine. A full-flow oil filter is externally (
mounted to the oil filter adapter on the lower right
front side of the engine. If the filter element becomes
restricted, not allowing engine oil to pass through,
a spring-loaded bypass valve opens.

Engine

The main oil galleries run the full length of the engine
block and cut into the valve lifter guide holes to
supply oil at full pressure to the valve lifters. Holes,
drilled from the crankshaft bearings to the main
oil gallery, intersect the camshaft bearing bores to
supply oil to the cam bearings.
Oil is transfered from the crankshaft bearings to the
connecting rod bearings through holes drilled in
the crankshaft. Pistons, piston pins, and cylinder walls
are lubricated by oil splash from the crankshaft and
connecting rods.
Each valve rocker arm and valve is supplied with oil
through the tubular push rod. The oil comes from
the inside of the valve lifter passing around the
metering valve and through a hole in the push rod
seat. Oil from the push rod passes through a hole in
the push rod seat, and emerges on top of the push rod
seat boss.

Cleanliness and Care

An automobile engine is a combination of many of the


following surfaces:
Machined
Honed
Polished
Lapped
The tolerances of these surfaces are measured in the
ten-thous.andths of an inch. When you service any
internal engine part, clean.liness and care are .
important. Apply a liberal coating of engine oi.1 to the
friction areas during assembly in order to protect
and lubricate the surfaces on initial operation.
Throughout this section, practice proper cleaning and
protection procedures to the machined surfaces
and to the friction areas.
Notice: Engine damage may result if an abrasive
paper, pad, or motorized wire brush is used to clean
any engine gasket surfaces.
Whenever you remove the valve train components,
keep the components in order. Follow this procedure in
order to install the components in the same locations
and with the same mating surfaces as when
removed.
Caution: Refer to Battery Disconnect Caution in
Cautions and Notices.
Disconnect the negative battery cables before you'
perform any major work on the engine. For more
information on the disconnection of the battery, refer
to Engine Electrical.

Replacing Engine Gaskets


1. Do not reuse any gasket unless otherwise

specified. Reusable gaskets will be identified in the


service procedure. Do not apply sealant to any
gasket or sealing surface unless called out in the
service procedure.
2. Use a rubber mallet in order to separate
components. Bump the part sideways in order to
loosen the components. Perform the bumping
at the bends or at the reinforced areas in order to
prevent the distortion of components.

Engine Mechanical - 3.8L

6~243

Important: Do not use any other method or technique


in order to remove the gasket material from a
components.
Do not use the following items in order to clean the
gasket surfaces:
Abrasive pads
Sand paper
Power tools
These methods of cleaning may damage the
component.
Abrasive pads also produce a fine grit that the oil filter
cannot remove from the oil. Tflis grit is abrasive
and may cause internal engine damage.
3. Remove all of the gasket and the sealing material
from the qomponent using a plastic or a wood
scraper. Do not gouge or scrape the sealing
surfaces.

Important: Do not allow the sealant to enter any blind


threaded holes. The sealant may cause the following
conditions:

Prevent you from properly seating the bolt


Ca.use damage when you tighten the bolt
4. When assembling components, use only the
sealant 'specified inthe service procedure.
Ensure that the sealing surfaces are clean and
free of debris or oil. Wheri applying sealant
to a component, apply a bead size as specified in
the service procedure.
5. Tighten the bolts to the specifications.

Use of RTV and .Anaerobic Sealer


The following 2 types of sealer are commonly used i.n
engines:
The RTV sealer
The anaerobic gasket eliminator sealer
Follow the service procedure instructions. Use the
correct sealer in the proper place in order to prevent
oil leaks. Do not interchange the 2 types of sealers.
Use th.e sealer recommended in the service procedure.

Applying RTV Sealer


Do not. use the room temperature
vulcanizing (RTV) sealant in areas where extreme
temperatures are expected. These areas include
the following locations:
- The exhaust manifold
- The head gasket
- The other surfaceswhere gasket eliminator
is specified
Use a rubber mallet in order to separate the
components sealed with RTV sealant. Bump the
part sideways in order to shear the RTV sealer.
Perform the bumping at the bends or the
reinforced areas in order to prevent distortion of
the components. The RTV sealant is weaker
in shear (lateral) strength than in tensile (vertical)
strength.

- Cause damage when you tighten the bolt
Apply the RTV sealant to a clean surface. Use a
bead size as specified in the procedure. Apply
the bead to the inside of any bolt holes.
Assemble the components while the RTV sealant
is still wet (within 3 minutes). Do not wait for the
RTV sealant to skin over.
Important: Do not overtigliten the bolts.
Tighten the bolts to specifications.

Applying Anaerobic Sealer


The anaerobic gasket eliminator hardens in the
absence of air. This type of sealer is used where
2 rigid parts (such as castings) are assembled
together. When 2 rigid parts are disassembled and no
sealer or gasket is readily noticeable, the parts
were probably assembled using a gasket eliminator.
Important: Do not use any other method or technique
in order to remove the gasket material from a
component.
Do not use the following items in order to clean the
gasket surfaces:
Abrasive pads
Sand paper
Power tools
These methods of cleaning may damage the part.
Abrasive pads also produce a fine grit that the oil filter
cannot remove from the oil. This grit is abrasive
and may cause internal engine damage.
Remove all of the gasket material from the
component using a plastic or a wood scraper. Use
Loctite brand gasket remover P/N 4MA or the
equivalent. Follow all of the safety
recommendations and the directions that are on
the container.

Apply a continuous bead of the gasket elimina.tor


to 1 flange. Clean and dry any surfaces that you
will reseal.

Important: Anaerobic sealed joints that are partially


torqued and allowed to cure more than 5 minutes may
result in incorrect shimming and sealing of the joint.
Do not allow the sealer to enter the blind
threaded holes. The sealer may cause the
following conditions:
- Prevent you from properly seating the bolt
- Cause damage when you tighten the bolt
Spread the sealer evenly in order to get a uniform
coating on the sealing surface.
Tighten the bolts to the specifications.
Remove the excess sealer from the outside of
the joint.

Separating Parts
The components of an internal combustion engine
develop wear patterns with their mating components.
During disassembly of the engine, parts should be
separated and kept in order so they may be reinstalled
in the same location from which they were removed.

Service. Precautions
Important: Follow the engine service information
below. This information is important in order to prevent
damage and in contributing to reliable engine
performance.

In order to avoid damage to the engine oil pan, use a


block of wood between the jack and the oil pan.
Ensure that the block of wood extends past the
complete width of the oil pan. Due to the small
clearance between the oil pan and the oil pump
screen, jacking against the oil pan may cause the oil
pan to bend against the pump screen. This condition
results in a damaged oil pick-up unit.

Caution: Refer to Fastener Notice in Cautions and


Notices.
When working on the engine, remember that the
12-volt electrical system is capable of causing short
circuits. When performing any work where electrical
terminals may possibly be grounded, disconnec1
the ground cable of the battery at the battery.
Any time you remove the air cleaner, cover the intake
opening. This procedure protects against the
accidental entrance of foreign material. Foreign
material may follow the intake passage into the
cylinder. This condition causes extensive damage
when you start the engine.
In the mechanical procedures described in this
section, generally no references will be made to the
removal of optional equipment such as the power
steering pump, the air conditioning compressor, etc.
If you need to remove any optional equipment in order
to perform other service, refer to the appropriate
section of this service manual for the specific
information.

Engine
Installation Precautions

Caution: Before removing or installing any


electrical unit, or when a tool or equipment could
easily come in contact with "live" or "hot all
the times" exposed electrical terminals, disconnect
the negative battery cable to help prevent
personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or
components. Unless instructed otherwise, the
ignition switch must be in the OFF or LOCK
position.
Notice: The following information on engine service
should be noted carefully, as it is important in
preventing damage and contributing to reliable engine
performance.
When raising or supporting the engine tor any reason,
do not use a jack under the oil pan. Due to the
small clearance between the oil pan and the oil pump
screen, jacking against the oil pan may cause the
oil pan to be bent against the oil pump screen resulting
in a damaged oil pump screen or oil pump pipe.
Any time the throttle body or air induction tube is
removed, the intake opening should be covered. This
will protect against the accidental entrance of
foreign material which could follow the intake passage
into the cylinder and cause extensive damage when
the engine is started.

Engine Compression Test


1. Charge the battery if the battery is not fully
charged.

2. Disable the ignition system.


3. Disable the fuel injection system.
4. Remove all the spark plugs.
5. Block the throttle plate wide open.
6. Start with the compression gauge at zero, and
crank the engine through four compression
strokes (four puffs).
. 7. Make the compression check for each cylinder.
Record the reading.
8. If a cylinder has low compression, inject
approximately 15 ml (one tablespoon) of engine
oil into the combustion chamber through the spark
plug hole.
Recheck the compression and record the reading.

9. The minimum compression in any one cylinder


should not be less than 70 percent of the highest
cylinder. No cylinder should read less than
690 kPa (100 psi). For example, if the highest
pressure in any one cylinder is 1035 kPa (150 psi),
the lowest allowable pressure for any other
cylinderwould be 725 kPa (105 psi).
(1035 x 70% =725) (150 x 70% = 105).
. No.rmal - Compression builds up quickly and
evenly to the specified compression for each
cylinder.
Piston Rings Leaking - Compression is low
on the first.stroke. Compression then builds
up with the following strokes but does not
reach normal. Compression improves
considerably when you add oil.
Valves Leaking - Compression is low on the
firststroke: Compression usually does not
build up on the following strokes. Compression
does not improve much when you add oil.
' " lftvito adjacent cylinders have lower than
normal compression and injecting oil into
the cylinders does not increase the
cornpression, the cause may be a head gasket
leaking between the cylinders.

Engine Noise Diagnosis


Symptom

Cause

There are four steps to diagnosing engine noise. You must determine the following:
The type of noise
For example, is the noise a light rattle/tapping or a low rumble/knocking?
The exact operating condition under which the noise exists.
Note factors such as the ambient temperature, the amount of engine warm-up time, the engine temperature, engine
RPMs, and other specifics.
At what rate the noise. occurs, and at what location in the engine .

Remember, engine noi~es are generally synchronized to either engine speed (crankshaft, flywheel, connecting rods,
balancer, or pistons and related components) or one-half engine speed (valve train noise such as rocker arms, valve
lifters, and timing chain). Try to determine the rate at which the noise is occurring,
Compare the engine .sounds to other engines and make sure you are not trying to correct a normal condition.
Noise on Start-Up but Only Lasts a
Few Seconds

Improper oil viscosity. Install the recommended oil viscosity. for the expected
temperatures.
Incorrect oil filter without the anti-drainback feature
Worn or dirty valve lifters
Excessive piston to bore clearance
Excessive piston pin to piston clearance
Excessive crankshaft bearing clearance

Knocks Cold and Continues for


1 to 2 Minutes

Loose or broken crankshaft balancer or accessory drive components


Excessive piston to bore clearance
A cold piston knock which disappears in 1.5 minutes should be considered
acceptable.
A cold engine knock usually disappears when the specific cylinders secondary
ignition circuit is grounded out.

Intermittent Noise on Idle,


Disappearing When Engine Speed is
Increased

Improper oil viscosity. Install the recommended oil viscosity for the expected
temperatures.
Lower than specified oil pressure
Install an oil pressure gauge and measure the engine oil pressure.
Dirty or worn valve lifter

Valve Train Diagnosis
Symptom

Cause

A light tapping noise at one-half engine speed, or any varying frequency, may indicate a valve train problem.
These tapping noises will typically increase with engine speed.
Before attempting to diagnose valve train noise, check for the proper oil level and thoroughly warm up the engine.

By doing this you will bring all engine components to a normal state of expansion.
While sitting in the drivers seat, run the engine at various speeds and listen for any abnormal engine noise.
Whenever Valve Lifter Diagnosis is necessary, always. use a listening device such as and engine stethoscope, or
listening ears J 39565. These tools will help to isolate any lifter noise and identify noises that could be mis-diagnosed as
lifter noise.
A light tapping noise similar to valve
train noise may be caused by the
following components:

Fuel injectors
Evaporative emission (EVAP) purge solenoid
O
Detonation
O
Loose heat shields

. Poor oil quality caused by water contamination, aeration, or fuel dilution


The Causes of Valve Train Noise
May Include the Following Conditions:
Low engine oil pressure
Worn or faulty oil pump
A loose or plugged oil pump screen
0
Loose valve rocker arm attac.hments (causing excessive valve lash)
Worn or damaged valve rocker .arm bearings
Worn valve rocker ar.m and/or pushrod
O Broken valve spring
Sticking valves
Valve lifters worn, dirty, or faulty
Broken valve lifter guide
Camshaft valve lifter lobes worn
Worn valve guides or valve stems
Worn, damaged, or missing valve keys
Bent pushrods
Excessive play in the camsha~ timing chain
Bent, broken, or damaged timing chc:1in sprocket teeth

DEFINITION: A light tapping noise at one half engine speed, or any varying frequency.

Is there valve train noise?


Check for a high engine oil level. A engine with the oil
level above the FULL mark allows the crankshaft
counterweights to churn the oil into foam. When foamy oil
is pumped into the lifters, the lifters become noisy. A solid
column of oil ensures proper lifter operation.

Is the oil level too high?

Check for a low engine oil level. A engine with the oil level
below the ADD mark may allow the oil pump to pump air
at high engine RPMs.

Is the oil level too low?

Check for proper engine oil pressure. Refer to Engine


Mechanical Specifications and Oil Pressure Diagnosis and
Testing.

Is the engine oil pressure within specifications?

1. Check the oil pump screen for damage or a loose fit


to the oil pump.

2. Inspect for a missing or damaged oil pump screen

Drive Belt Chirping Diagnosis


Diagnostic Aids
The symptom may be intermittent due to moisture on
the drive belt(s) or the pulleys. It may be necessary
to spray a small amount of water on the drive belt(s) in
order to duplicate the customers concern. If spraying
water on the drive belt(s) duplicates the symptom,
cleaning the belt pulleys may be the probable solution.
A loose or improper installation of a body component,
a suspension component, or other item(s) on the
vehicle may cause the chirping noise.

Test Description
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on
the diagnostic table.
2. The noise may not be engine related. This step is
to verify that the engine is making the noise. If
the engine is not making the noise do not proceed
further with this table.
3. The noise may be an internal engine noise.
Remove the drive belt(s) and operate the engine
for a brief period, this will verify if the chirping
noise is related to the drive belt(s). With the drive
belt(s) remove the water pump may not be
operate and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs
may set when the engine is operated with the
drive belt(s) removed.

4. Inspect all drive belt pulleys for pilling. Pilling is


the small balls or pills or it may be strings in
the drive belt grooves from the accumulation of
rubber dust.

6. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from


improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory
drive component pulley, or the pulley may be
bent inward or outward from a previous repair.
Test for a misaligned pulley using a straight edge
in the puUey grooves across two or three pulleys.
If a misaligned pulley is found refer to that
accessory drive component for the proper
installation procedure for that pulley.
10. Inspection of the fasteners can eliminate the
possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer
was installed.
12. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should
include inspecting for a dents or other damage to
the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt(s)
from not seating properly in all of the pulley
grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when
the back side of the belt is used to drive the
pulley.
14. Replacing the drive belt(s) when it is not damaged
or there is not excessive pilling will only be a
temporary repair.

Drive Belt Rumbling Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
Vibrationwhen the' engine is operating may cause a
body component or another part of the vehicle to

produce a rumbling no.ise.


The drive belt(s) may have a condJtion that can not be
seen or felt. So.metimes replacing the drive qelt(s)
may be.the only repair forth.e symptom.
If after replacing the drive belt(s) and completing the
diagnostic table, the noise is only heard with the
drive belt(s) installed; there may be an accessory drive
component failure. Varying the load on the accessory
drive components may aid in identifying which
accessory drive component is causing the
rumbling noise.

Test Description
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on
the diagnostic table.
2. Thi.s test is to verify that the symptom is present
during diagnosing. Other vehicle components
may cause a similar symptom.

3. This test is to verify that the drive belt(s) is


causing the rumbling noise. The rumbling noise
may be confused with an internal engine
noise due to the similarity in the description.
Remove only one drive belt at a time if the vehicle
has multiple drive belts. With the drive belt(s)
removed the water pump may not operate and the
engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when
the engine is operating with the drive belt(s)
removed.

4. Inspect the drive belt(s) to ensure that the drive


belt is not the cause of the noise. Small cracks
across the ribs of the drive belt will not cause the
rumbling noise. Belt separation is identifi'3d by
the plys of the drive belt separating, this may be
seen at the edge of the belt or felt as a lump
in the belt.
5. Small amounts of pilling is a normal condition and
acceptable. When the pilling is severe the drive

Drive Belt Falls Off Diagnosis

Diagnostic Aids
If the drive belt(s) repeatedly falls off the drive belt
pulleys, this may be caused by pulley misalignment.
An extra load that is quickly applied or released by an
accessory drive component may cause. the drive
belt(s) to fall off the pulleys. Verify that the accessory
drive components operate properly:
If the drive belt(s) is the incorrect length, the drive belt
tensioner may not maintain the proper tension on
the drive belt.

Test Description
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on
the diagnostic table.

2. This inspection is to verify the condition of the


drive belt(s). Damage may have occurred to
the drive belt when the drive belt(s) fell off the
pulley. The drive belt(s) may have been damaged
in which case caused the drive belt to fall off
the pulley. Inspect the drive belt(s) for cuts, tears,
sections of ribs missing, or damaged belt plys.
4. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from
improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory

drive component pulley, or the pulley is bent


inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for
a misaligned pulley using a straight edge in the
pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If
a misaligned pulley is.found refer to that accessory
drive component for the proper installation
procedure of that pulley.

5. Inspect the pulleys for dents, bends or other


damage. Damage to the pulleys would prevent the
drive belt(s) from seating properly in the pulley
grooves. Damage would also prevent proper
alignment of the drive belt to pulley, when
the smooth surface of the drive belt is required to
drivethe pulley.
6. Accessory drive component brackets that .are bent
or cracked will allow the drive belt(s) to fall off the
pulley.
7. Inspection of the fasteners can eliminate the
possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer
was installed. Missing, loose, or incorrect
fasteners may cause pulley misalignment from the
bracket moving under load. Over tightening of
the fasteners may also cause misalignment of the
accessory component bracket.

Drive Belt Excessive Wear Diagnosis


)

Diagnostic Aids
Excessive wear on a drive belt(s) is usually caused by
incorrect installation or the wrong drive belt(s) for
the application.
Minor misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will not
cause excessive wear, but will probably cause
the drive belt(s) to make a noise or to fall off the
pulley(s).
Excessive misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will
cause excessive wear and may also make the
drive belt(s) fall off the pulley(s).

3. The installation of a drive belt that is to wide or to


narrow will cause wear on the drive belt(s). The
drive belt ribs should match all of the grooves
on the pulleys.

4. This inspection is to verify the drive belt(s) is not


contacting any parts of the engine or body while
the engine is operating. There should be sufficient
clearance when the drive belt accessory drive
components load varies. The drive belt(s) should
not come in contact with an engine or a body
component when snapping the throttle.

Test Description
The number(s) below refer to the step .number(s) on
the diagnostic .table.

2. The inspection is to verify that the drive belt(s) is

Engine Mount Inspection
Notice: Broken or deteriorated mounts can cause
misalignment and destruction of certain drive
train components. When a single mount breaks, the
remaining mounts are subjected to abnormally
high stresses.
Notice: When raising or supporting the engine for any
reason, do not use a jack under the oil pan, any
sheet metal, or the crankshaft pulley. Lifting the engine
in an unapproved manner may cause component
damage.
1. Measure the engine movement at the engine
mounts in order to check for damage to the
rubber portions of the mount.
~ .1. Apply the park brake.
1.2. Start the engine.
1.3. Firmly apply the primary brakes.
1.4. Have an assistant stand to the side of the
vehicle to observe for engine movement.
1.5. Slightly load the engine in reverse and
drive. If the engine moves more than
24 mm (0.945 in) from the at rest position,
in either direction, check the engine
mount attachment.
2. If the engine mount attachment is within
specifications, replace th.e engine mount.
3. Replace the engine mount also if any of the
following .conditions exist:
.. Heat check cracks cover the hard rubber
surface.
The rubber cushion is separated from the
metal plate of the mount.
There is a split through the rubber cushion.
4. If the mount is loose, lower the engine and tighten
the bolts or the nuts to the engine frame or the
bracket. Refer to Fastener Tightening
Specifications.

Cylinder Boring and Honi_ng


Boring Procedure
1. A 0.25 mm (0.01 in) oversize s~rvice piston and
piston ring set are av_ailable for the LS1 engine.

Important: Do not bore the cylinder liners on the


LS1 engine.
2. It is recommended to hone the cylinder to achieve
proper fit for the oversize piston.
Refer to the Cylinder Honing information for the
proper honing procedure.

Honing Procedure

186747

1. When honing the cylinders, follow the


manufacturer's recommendations for equipment
use, cleaning, and lubrication. Use only clean,
sharp stones of the proper grade for the amount
of material you remove. Dull, dirty stones cut
unevenly and generate excessive heat. Do
not hone to final clearance with a coarse or
medium-grade stone. Leave sufficient metal so
that all stone marks. may be removed with
fine-grade stones. Perform final honing with a
fine-grade stone, honing the cylinder to the proper
clearance.
2. During the honing operation, thoroughly clean the
cylinder bore. Repeatedly check the cylinder bore
tor fit with. the selected piston.
All measurements of the piston or the cylinder
bore should be made with the components
at normal room temperature.
3. When honing a cylinder for fit to an oversize
piston, first perform the preliminary honing
with a 100 grit stone.
4. Perform final cylinder honing with a 240 grit stone
and obtain a 45 degree cross hatch pattern.
A 240 grit stone is preferred for final honing. If a
240 grit stone is not available, a 220 grit stone
may be used as a substitute.

Engine

Engine Mechanical - 5.7l

6-457

5. When honing to eliminate taper in the cylinder,


make full strokes the complete length of the bore.
Repeatedly check the measurement at the.
top, the middle, and the bottom of the bore.
6. The finish marks should be clean but not sharp.
The finish marks should also be free from
imbedded particles and torn or folded metal.
7. By measuring the selected piston at the sizing
point and by adding the average of the clearance
specification, you can determine the final
cylinder honing dimension required.
8. When finished, the reconditioned cylinder bores
should have less than or meet the specified
out-of-round and taper requirements.
9. After final honing and before the piston is checked
for fit, clean the cylinder bores with hot water and
detergent. Scrub the bores with a stiff bristle
brush and rinse the bores thoroughly with
hot water. Do not allow any abrasive material to
remain in the cylinder bores. This abrasive
material may cause premature wear of the new
piston rings and the cylinder bores. Abrasive
material will also contaminate the engine oil and
may cause premature wear of the bearings.
After washing the cylinder bore, dry the bore with
a clean rag.
1o. Perform final measurements of the piston and the
cylinder bore.
11 . Permanently mark the top of the piston for the
specific cylinder to which it has been fitted.
12. Apply clean engine oil to each cylinder bore in
order to prevent rusting.

Deglazing Procedure
Using a ball type or self centering honing tool, deglaze
the cylinder bore lightly. Deglazing should be done
only to remove any deposits that may have formed.
Use a 240 grit stone of silicone carbide or equivalent
material when preforming the deglazing procedure.
A 240 grit stone is preferred for final honing. If a
240 grit stone is not available, a 220 grit stone may be
used as a substitute.

Valve and Seat Grinding


Important:
Reconditioning the valve seats is very important.
The seating of the valves must be perfect for
the engine to deliver optimum power and
performance. Several different types of equipment
are available for grinding valve seats.
Another important factor is the cooling of the valve
head. Good contact between the valve and the
,seat will ensure that heat will be properly
dissipated.
" The recommendations of the manufacturer of the
equipment should be followed carefully to obtain
the proper results. Regardless of what type of
equipment is used, it is essential that valve guide
bores be free from carbon or dirt to ensure
proper centering of the tool pilot in the guide.
Valves that are pitted must be refaced to the
proper angle. Valve stems that show excessive
wear, or valves that are warped excessively must
be replaced. When a valve head that is warped
excessively is refaced, a knife edge may be
ground on part or all of the valve head due to the
amount of metal that must be removed. Knife
edges lead to breakage, burning or pre-ignition
due to heat localizing on this knife edge. If
the edge of the valve head is less than 1.25 mm
(0.05 in) after grinding, replace the valve.
Several different types of equipment are available
for refacing valves. The recommendation of the
manufacturer of the equipment should be carefully
followed to obtain the proper results.
DO NOT reface intake valves. Intake valves with
excessive wear or damage MUST be replaced.

Engine Component Description
5.7 liter lS1 V-8

309875

The 5.7 Liter V-8 engine is identified as RPO-LS1


and VIN-G.

Camshaft and Drive System


A billet steel one piece camshaft is supported by
five bearings pressed into the engine block. The
camshaft has a machined camshaft sensor reluctor

ring incorporated between the fourth and fifth bearing


journals. The camshaft timing sprocket is mounted
to the front of. the camshaft and is ddven by the
crankshaft sprocket through the camshaft timing chain.

Engine Me.chanical- 5.7L

Engine
The crankshaft sprocket is splined and drives the oil
pump driven gear. A. retaining plate mounted to
the front of the engine block maintains camshaft
location.

Crankshaft
The crankshaft is cast nodular iron. The crankshaft is
supported by five crankshaft bearings. The bearings
are retained by crankshaft bearing caps which
are machined with the engine block for the proper
alignment and clearance. The crankshaft journals are
undercut and rolled. The center main journal is the
thrust journal. A crankshaft position reluctor ring
is mounted at the rear of the crankshaft. The reluctor
ring is not serviceable separately.

Cylinder Heads
The cylinder head assemblies are cast aluminum and
have pressed in place powdered metal valve guides
and valve seats. Passages for the Engine Coolant Air
Bleed system are at the front and rear of each
cylinder head. There are no exhaust gas passages
within the cylinder head. The cylinder head design has
changed. Valve rocker arm covers are now retained
to the cylinder head by four center mounted rocker arm
cover bolts.

Engine Block
The engine block is a cam~in-block deep skirt
90 degree V configuration with five crankshaft bearing
caps. The engine block is aluminum with cast in
place iron cylinder bore liners. The five crankshaft
bearing caps each have four vertical M1 O and
two horizontal M8 mounting bolts. The camshaft is
supported by five camshaft bearings pressed into
the block.

Exhaust Manifolds
The exhaust manifolds are one piece cast iron design.
The exhaust manifolds direct exhaust gasses from
the combustion chambers to the exhaust system. Each
manifold has a single inlet for the Air Injection
Reaction (AIR) system and the left exhaust manifold
has a threaded opening for installation of an
oxygen sensor. Exhaust system gasses are directed
from the right exhaust manifold through the Exhaust
Gas Recirculation (EGA) pipe assembly and valve
to the intake manifold. The EGA pipe assembly
is retained to the exhaust manifold by two bolts and
sealed at the exhaust manifold flange with a gasket.
Each manifold also has an externally mounted
heat shield that is retained by bolts.

Intake Manifold
The IAFM or integraged air fuel module is a one piece
composite design that incorporates brass threaded
inserts for mounting the fuel rail, throttle cable bracket,
throttle body, and EGR inlet pipe. The intake
manifold is sealed to the cylinder heads by
eight separate non-reuseable silicone sealing gaskets
which press into the grooves of the intake housing.

6-581

The cable actuated throttle body assembly bolts to the


front of the intake manifold. The throttle body is
sealed to the intake manifold by a One piece push in
place silicone gasket. The fuel rail assembly with
eight separate fuel injectors is retained to the intake
by four bolts. The injectors are seated in their
individual manifold bores with. 0-ring seals. to. provide
sealing. A fuel rail stop bracket is retained at the
rear of the left fuel rail by the intake manifold mounting
bolts. A snap fit Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)
sensor housing is mounted at the rear of the manifold
and sealed by an 0-ring seal. The MAP sensor is.
installed and retained to the MAP sensor housing. An
externally mounted Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGA)
pipe assembly installs into the top front of the
intake manifold. The EGA pipe assembly is sealed to
the intake manifold by an 0-ring seal and is,retained
to the manifold by one bolt. There are no coolant
passages within the intake manifold.

Oil Pan
The structural oil pan is cast aluminum. Incorporated
into the design are the oil filter mounting boss,

drain plug opening, oil level sensor mounting bore,


and oil pan baffle. The oil pan cover and oil level
sensor mount to the side of the oil pan. The alignment
of the structural oil pan to the rear of the engine
block and transmission bell housing is critical.

Piston and Connecting Rod Assemblies


The pistons are cast aluminum. The pistons use
two compression rings and one oil control ring
assembly. The piston is a low friction, lightweight
design with a flat top and barrel shaped skirt.
The piston pins are chromium steel. They have a
floating fit in the piston and are retained by a press fit
in the connecting rod. The connecting rods are
..
powdered metal. The connecting rods are fractured at
the connecting rod journal and then machined for
the proper clearance.

Valve Rocker Arm Cover Assemblies


The valve rocker arm covers are cast aluminum and
use a pre-molded silicone gasket for sealing. Mounted
to each rocker cover is an ignition coil and bracket
assembly. Incorporated intO the covers are the oil fill
tube, the Positive CrankcaseVentilation (PCV)
system passages, and the engine fresh air passages.
Rocker arm cover design has changed. The covers
are now retained to the cylinder head by four center
mounted rocker cover bolts.

Valve Train
Motion is transmitted from the camshaft through the
hydraulic roller valve lifters and tubular pushrods to the
roller type rocker arms. The valve lifter guides
position and retain the valve lifters. The valve rocker
arms for each bank of cylinders are mounted on
pedestals (pivot supports). Each rocker arm is retained
on the pivot support and cylinder head by a bolt.
Valve lash is net build.

Drive Belt System Description

New Product Information

The drive belt system consists of the following


compor:ients: .
The drive belt
The drive belt tensioner
The drive belt idler pulley
The crankshaft balancer pulley
The accessory drive component mounting
brackets
The accessory drive components
- The power steering pump, if belt driven
- The generator
- The A/C compressor, if equipped
'- The engine cooling fan, i.f belt driven
- The water pump, if belt driven
- The vacuum pump, if equipped
- The air compressor, if equipped
The drive belt system may use one belt or two belts.
The drive belt is thin so that it can bend backwards
and has several ribs to match the grooves in the
pulleys. There also may be a V-belt style belt used to
drive certain accessory drive components. The
drive belts are made of different types of rubbers
(chloroprene or EPDM) and have different layers or
plys containing either fiber cloth or cords for
reinforcement.
Both sides of the drive belt may be used to drive the
different accessory drive components. When the
back side of the drive belt is used to drive a pulley,
the pulley is smooth.
The drive belt is pulled by the crankshaft balancer
pulley across the accessory drive component pulleys.
The spring loaded drive belt tensioner keeps
constant tension on the drive belt to prevent the drive
belt from slipping. The drive belt tensioner arm will
move when loads are applied to the drive belt by the
accessory drive components and the crankshaft.
The drive belt system may have an idler pulley, which
is used to add wrap to the adjacent pulleys. Some
systems use an idler pulley in place of an accessory
drive component when the vehicle is not equipped with
the accessory.

Engine lubrication is supplied by a gerotor type oil


pump assembly. The pump is mounted on the front of
the engine block and driven directly by the crankshaft
sprocket. The pump gears rotate and draw oil from
the oil pan sump through a pick-up screen and pipe.
The oil is pressurized as it passes through the
pump and is sent through the engine block oil galleries.
Contained within the oil pump assembly is a pressure
relief valve that maintains oil pressure within a
specified range. Pressurized oil is directed through the
lower gallery to the full flow oil filter where harmful
contaminants are removed. A bypass valve is
incorporated into the oil pan which will permit oil flow

in the event the filter becomes restricted. At the rear


of the block, oil is then directed to the upper main
oil galleries which are drilled just above the camshaft
assembly. From there oil is then directed to the
crankshaft and camshaft bearings. Oil that has entered
the upper main oil galleries also pressurizes the
valve lifter assemblies and is then pumped through
the pushrods to lubricate the valve rocker arms
and valve stems. Oil returning to the pan is directed
by the crankshaft oil deflector. Oil temperature,
pressure and crankcase level are each monitored by
individual sensors.

) Cleanliness and Care


Throughout this section, it should be understood
that proper cleaning and protection of machined
surfaces and friction areas is part of the repair
procedure. This is considered standard shop
practice even if not specifically stated.
O When any internal engine parts are serviced, care
and cleanliness is important.
When components are removed for service, they
should be marked, organized or retained in a
specific order for reassembly.
Refer to Separating Parts.
., At the time of installation, components should be
installed in the same location and with the same
mating surface as when removed.
An automobile engine is a combination of many
machined, honed, polished and lapped surfaces
with tolerances that are measured in millimeters or
thousandths of an inch. These surfaces should
be covered or protected to avoid component
damage.
O A liberal coating of clean engine oil should be
applied to friction areas during assembly.
Proper lubrication will protect and lubricate friction
surfaces during initial operation.

Gaskets that can be reused will be identified in
the service procedure.
Do not apply sealant to any gasket or sealing
surface unless called out in the service
information.

Separating Components
Use a rubber .mallet to separate components.
Bump the part sideways to loosen the
components.
Bumping should be done at bends or reinforced
areas to prevent distortion of parts.

6-586

Engine Mechanical - 5.7L

Cleaning Gasket Surfaces


Remove all gasket and sealing material from the
part using the J 28410 or equivalent.
Care must be used to avoi.d gouging or scraping
the sealing surfaces ..
Do not use any other method or technique to
remove sealant or gasket material from a part.
Do not use abrasive pads, sand paper, or power
tools to clean the gasket surfaces ..
- These methods of cleaning can cause
damage to the component sealing surfaces.
- Abrasive pads also produce a fine grit
that the oil filter cannot remove from the oil.
- This grit is abrasive 9nd has been known to
cause internal engine damage.

Assembling Components.
When assembling components, use only the
sealant specified or equivalent in the service
procedure.
Sealing surfaces should be clean and free of
debris or oil.
Specific components such as crankshaft oil seals
or valve stem oil seals may require lubrication
during assembly.
Components requiring lubrication will be identified
in the service procedure.
When applying seala.nt to a component, apply the
amount specified in the service procedure.
Do notallow the sealant to enter into any blind
threaded holes, as it may prevent the bolt
from clamping properly or cause component
damage when tightened.
Tighten bolts to specifications. Do not overtighten.

Use of RTV and Anaerobic Sealer


Pipe.Joint Compound
Important: Three types of sealer are commonly used
in engines. These are RTV sealer, anaerobic gasket
eliminator sealer, and pipe joint compound. The correct
sealer and amount must be used in the proper
location to prevent oil leaks. DO NOT interchange the
three types of sealers. Use only the specific sealer
or the equivalent as recommended in the service
procedure.
Pipe joint compound is a pliable sealer that does
not completely harden. This type sealer is used
where two non-rigid parts (such as the oil pan and
the engine block) are assembled together.
Do not use pipe joint compound in areas where
extreme temperatures are expected. These
areas include: exhaust manifold, head gasket, or
other surfaces where gasket eliminator is
specified.
Follow all safety recommendations and directions
that are on the container.
To remove the sealant or the gasket material,
refer to Replacing Engine Gaskets

Engine
Apply the pipe joint compound to a clean surface.
Use a bead size or quantity as specified in the
procedure. Run the bead to the inside of any bolt
holes. Do not allow the sealer to enter any
blind threaded holes, as it may prevent the bolt
from clamping properly or cause component
damage when the bolt is tightened.
Apply a continuous bead of pipe joint compound
to one sealing surface. Sealing surfaces to be
resealed must be cl.ean and dry.
Tighten the bolts to specifications. Do not
overtighten.

RTV Sealer
Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) sealant
hardens when exposed to air. This type sealer
is used where two non-rigid parts (such as
the intake manifold and the engine block) are
assembled together.
Do not use Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV)
sealant in areas where extreme temperatures are
expected. These areas include: exhaust
manifold, head gasket, or other surfaces where a
gasket eliminator is specified.
Follow all safety recommendations and directions
that are on the container.
To remove the sealant or the gasket material,
refer to Replacing Engine Gaskets
Apply RTV to a clean surface. Use a bead size as
specified in the procedure. Run the bead to the
inside of any bolt holes. Do not allow the sealer to
enter any blind threaded holes, as it may
prevent the bolt from clamping properly or cause
damage when the bolt is tightened.
Assemble components while RTV is still wet
(within 3 minutes). Do not wait for RTV to
skin over.
~ Tighten bolts to specifications. Do not overtighten.

Anaerobic Sealer
Anaerobic gasket eliminator hardens in the
absence of air. This type sealer. is used where
two rigid parts (such as castings) are assembled
together. When two rigid parts are disassembled
and no sealer or gasket is readily noticeable;
the parts were probably assembled using a gasket
eliminator.
Follow all safety recommendations and directions
that are on the container.
To remove the sealant or the gasket material,
refer to Replacing Engine Gaskets
Apply a continuous bead of gasket eliminator to
one flange. Surfaces to be resealed must be
clean and dry.
Spread the sealer evenly with your finger to get a
uniform coating on the sealing surface.
Do not allow the sealer to enter any blind threaded (
holes, as it may prevent the bolt from clamping
properly or cause damage when tightened.

Engine
)

Important: Anaerobic sealed joints that are partially


torqued and allowed to cure more than five minutes
may result in incorrect shimming and sealing of
the joint.
Do not allow the sealer to enter any blind threaded
holes, as it may prevent the bolt from seating properly
or cause damage when the bolt is tightened.
" Tighten bolts to specifications. Do not overtighten.
" Af1er properly tightening the fasteners, remove
the excess sealer from the outside of the joint.

Separating Parts
Important: Many internal engine components will
develop specific wear patterns on their friction
surfaces.
VVhen disassembling the engine, internal components
MUST be separated, marked, or organized in a
way to ensure reinstallation to their original .location
and position.
Separate, mark, or organize the following components:
" Piston and the piston pin
Piston to the specific cylinder bore
" Piston rings to the piston
Connecting rod to the crankshaft journal
Connecting rod to the bearing cap
A paint stick qr etching/engraving type tool are
recommended. Stamping the connecting rod
or cap near the bearing bore may affect
component geometry.
" Crankshaft main and connecting rod bearings
.. Camshaft and valve lifters
" Valve lifters, guides, pushrods, pivot supports and
rocker arms
Valve to the valve guide
O

Valve spring and shim to the cylinder head


location

Engine block main bearing cap location and


direction
Oil pump drive and driven gears

Installation Precautions
Important: Follow the engine service information
below. This information is important in order to prevent
damage and in contributing to reliable engine
performance.

In order to avoid damage to the engine oil pan, use a


block of wood between the jack and the oil pan.
Ensure that the block of wood extends past the
complete width of the oil pan. Due to the small
clearance between the oil pan and the oil pump
screen, jacking against the oil pan may cause the oil
pan to bend against the pump screen. This condition
results in a damaged oil pick-up unit.

Engine Mechanical - 5.7L

6-587

Caution: Refer to Fastener Notice in Cautions and


Notices.
When working on the engine, remember that the
12-volt electrical system is capable of causing short
circuits. When performing any work where electrical
terminals may possibly be grounded, disconnect
the ground cable of the battery at the battery.
Any time you remove the air cleaner, cover the intake
opening. This procedure protects against the
accidental entrance of foreign material. Foreign
material may follow the intake passage into the
cylinder. This condition causes extensive damage
when you start the engine.
In the mechanical procedures described in this
section, generally no references will be made to the
removal of optional equipment such as the power
steering pump, the air conditioning compressor, etc.
If you need to remove any optional equipment in order
to perform .other service, refer to the appropriate
section of this service manual for the specific
information.

Tools and Equipment

Thermostat Diagnosis
Thermostat Test
The coolant thermostat can be tested using a
temperature (tempi!) stick. The temperature stick is a
pencil like device. It has a wax material containing
certain chemicals which melt at a given temperature.
Temperature sticks can be used to determine a
thermostat's operating range, by rubbing 87C (188F)
and 97C (206F) sticks on the thermostat housing.

Tools Required
J 24731-188 188F Tempilstick
J 24731-206 206F Tempilstick
1. Use a tempilstick in order to find the opening and
the closing temperatures of the coolant thermostat.
J 24731-188 tempilstick melts at 87C (188F).
The thermostat should begin to open.
J 24731-206 tempilstick melts at 97C (206F).
The thermostat should be fully open.
2. Replace the coolant thermostat if it does not
operate properly between this temperature range.

Some coolant manufacturers mix other types of glycol


into their coolant formulations. Propylene glycol is
the most common new ingredient.
A hydrometer does not always provide a correct
measurement of freeze protection when anything other
than ethylene glycol and water is being tested. The
degree of inaccuracy varies depending on the
proportion of other glycols present in the coolant.

All new GM vehicles are produced with coolant that


can be accurately measured with a hydrometer;
however, when the type and quality of coolant being
measured is unknown, such as a customer vehicle that
has accumulated mileage, the use of the refractometer
is recommended.
Coolant testers J 23688 (Fahrenheit Scale) or J 26568
(Centigrade Scale) can be used to check the
antifreeze protection of the coolant. Make sure the
refractometer markings are correct. Unless J 23688 or
J 26568 has a provision for temperature correction,
test the temperature at which J 23688 or J 26568
is calibrated. If the coolant is warmer or cooler, 1he
reading may be incorrect. Follow the manufacturer's
direction on using J 23688 or J 26568.

Description and Operation


Cooling System Description
The cooling system consists of the following major
components:
Radiator
Coolant recovery reservoir
Cooling fans
Thermostat
Water pump
" Engine coolant air bleed pipe
Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
Transmission oil cooler
All related hoses
Fan shroud
Fan motor/blade
The cooling systems functions is to maintain an
efficient engine operating temperature during all
speeds and under all operating conditions. Cooling
systems are designed to remove about
one-third (30 to 35 percent) of the heat produced in
the combustion chambers by the burning of the air-fuel
mixture. The engine is very inefficient while cold.
Therefore the cooling system includes a devise
(thermostat) that prevents normal cooling action during
engine warm-up. The thermostat allows the engine
parts to reach their .normal operating temperature more
quickly. This shortens the inefficient cold-operating
time. When the engine reaches its normal operating
temperature, the cooling system begins to function.
The cooling system removes excess heat when
the engine is hot, and slowly or not at all when th.e
engine is cold or warming up.
The coolant absorbs heat as it passes through the
engine. Then the hot coolant flows through a radiator
in. which the heat in the coolant is passed on to
the air that is flowing through the radiator. The cooled
coolant then flows back through the engine. This
circulatior:i of the coolant continually removes heat from
the engine. The coolant is kept in circulation by the
water pump.
Water jackets are designed to keep the cylinder block
and cylinder heads cool. The water jackets are
open spaces. between the outside wall of the cylinder
and the inside of the cylinder block and head. The
coolant can circulate freely around the engine
hot spots. These hot spots include the following:
Valve guides
Valve seats
Upper parts of the cylinder walls
When the engine is running at the normal operating
temperature, coolant flows into the block and through
the water jackets surrounding the cylinders. Vapor
is vented off through the engine coolant air bleed pipe.
Then coolant is forced through the head gasket
openings and into the cylinder head water jackets. In
the heads, the coolant flows around the combustion
chambers and valve seat, picking up additional
heat. From the heads, the coolant flows through the

upper hose into the radiator. There, the coolant


temperature is lowered, and the coolant is drawn again
into the engine by the water pump to provide
passenger compartment heat and defrost. The coolant
recovery reservoir provides a coolant fill point. The
reservoir is translucent for coolant level viewing.

Coolant Description
This vehicle has a newly developed engine coolant.
GM Goodwrench DEX-COOL was developed to last
for 240 000 km (150,000 mi) or 5 years, whichever
occurs first. Follow the instructions in Draining
and Filling Cooling System. Make sure only GM
Goodwrench DEX-COOL (silicate-free) or Havoline
DEX-COOL is used when coolant is added or
changed.
A 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL and clean drinkable
water will provide the following protection:

Notice: Pure coolant can be added to raise the boiling


point of the coolant, but too much will affect the
freezing point. Do not use a solution stronger than
70 percent, as the freeze level rises rapidly after this
point. Pure coolant will freeze at -22C (-8F).
Give freezing protection down to -37C (-34F).
Give boiling protection up to 129C (260F).
Protect against rust and corrosion.
O

Help keep the proper engine temperature.

Let the warning lights and gauges work correctly.

Coolant Recovery System Description


The cooling system has a separate plastic, translucent
coolant recover reservoir. The reservoir, also caner
a recovery tank or expansion tank, is partly filled with
coolant and is connected to the overflow tube on
the radiator fill neck to the reservoir by the O\/erflow
tube. The coolant in the engine expands as the engine
heats up. Instead. of dripping out the overflow tube
onto the ground and being lost from the cooling system
completely, the CQOlant flows into the reservoir.
When the engine cools, a vacuum is created in the
cooling system. The vacuum siphons some of
the coolant back into the radiator from the reservoir. In
effect, a cooling system with a recovery reservoir is
a closed system. Coolant can flow back and forth
between the radiator and the reservoir. This occurs as
the coolant expands and contracts from heating
and cooling. Under normal conditions, no coolant
is lost.
An advantage to the use of a coolant recovery
reservoir is that it eliminates almost all air bubbles
from the cooling system. Coolant without bubbles
absorbs heat much better than coolant with bubbles in
it. Although the coolant level in the recovery reservoir
goes up and down, the radiator and cooling system
are kept full. This results in maximum cooling
efficiency.

Engine

Engine Cooling

Throttle Body Coolant System Description

Coolant Heater Description

The fuel injection system has coolant passages in


the throttle body, The heated coolant flow through
these passages improves the cold weather driveability
of the vehicle.

The engine coolant heater is used to heat the engine


coolant prior to vehicle start up, making it easier to
start the engine in very cold climates. It is installed into
the engine block at a water jacket plug location. An
engine coolant heater cord is routed inside the engine
compartment. The heater is rated at 600 watts and
uses a 110 volt ac power supply.

Radiator Assembly Description

47015

The radiator is a heat exchanger that removes heat


from the coolant passing through it. The radiator holds
a large volume of coolant in close contact with a
large volume of air so that heat will transfer from the
coolant to the air. The radiator core is divided into
two separate compartment~ cool.an.t passes throygh
one, and air passes through the other. The aluminum
radiator core (1) is a crossflow tube and fin design.
A tube and fin radiator consists of a series of
tubes extending from side to side on the radiator core.
The tubes run from the inlet tank (4) to the outlet
tank (9). Fins are placed around the outside of
the tubes to improve heat transfer. Air passes between
the fins. As the air passes by, it absorbs heat from
the fins which have, in turn, absorbed heat from
the coolant.

In a typical radiator, there are five fins per inch.


Radiators used in vehicles that have factory installed
air conditioning have seven fins per inch. This
provides the additional cooling surface required to
handle the additional heat load imposed by air .
conditioning.
The inlet (4) and outlet (9) tanks are molded with high.
temperature nylon-reinforced plastic. A high
temperature rubber gasket (2, 12) seals the tank
flange edge. The tanks are clamped to the core with
clinch tabs. The tabs are part of the aluminum
header at each end of the core (1 ). A plastic
serviceable drain cock (7) and rubber seal is used.
The integral transmission oil cooler (3) is housed inside
the outlet (4) tank. The cooler provides the automatic
transmission fluid cooling capacity. This maintains
a fairly constant temperature under all operating
conditions.

Pressure Cap Description


Radiator Fill Cap
Caution: Under pressure, the temperature of the
solution in the radiator can be considerably higher,
without boiling. Removing the radia.tor cap while
the engine is hot (pressure is high), will cause the
solution to boil instantaneously, with explosive
force. The solution will spew out over the engine,
fenders, and the person removing the cap.
Serious bodily injury may result. Flammable
antifreeze,.such as alcohol, is not recommended
for use at any time. Flammable antifreeze could
cause a serious fire.

48305

The cooling system is sealed and pressurized by a


radiator pressure cap. There are two advantages
to sealing and pressurizing the cooling system.
Increased pressure raises the boiling point of the
coolant. This increases the efficiency of the
cooling system.
Sealing the cooling system reduces coolant losses
from evaporation and permits the use of the
recovery reservoir.
As .the pressure goes up~ the boiling point goes up.
Therefore, the coolant can be safely run at a
temperature higher than 212 degrees F
(100 degrees C) without boiling. The higher the
coolant temperature, the greater the difference
between it and the outside air temperature. This
difference in temperature is what causes the cooling
system to work. The hotter the coolant, the faster
the heat moves from the radiator to the cooler passing
air. This means that the pressurized, sealed cooling
system can take heat away from the engine faster.
Therefore, the cooling system works more efficiently
when the coolant is under higher pressure.
However, the cooling system can be pressurized too
much. If the pressure in the system gets too high,
it can damage the radiator and blow off the hoses. To
prevent this the radiator cap has a pressure relief

valve. When the pressure gets too high, it raises the


valve so that the excess pressure can escape into the
recovery reservoir.
The radiator pressure cap also has a vacuum vent
valve. This valve protects the system from developing
a vacuum that could collapse the radiator. When
the engine is shut off and cools, the coolant volume is
reduced. Cold coolant takes up less space than hot
coolant. As the temperature of the coolant drops,
a vacuum develops in the cooling system. To prevent
excessive vacuum from developing, the vacuum
valve opens to allow outside air or coolant from the
recovery reservoir to flow into the cooling system. This
relieves the vacuum that could otherwise cause
outside air pressure to collapse the radiator.

Engine Cooling Fan Description - Electric


The cooling fans are located behind the radiator.
The cooling fans are driven by an electric motor. The
cooling fan motors both have five blades that are
each 312 mm (12.3 in) in diameter. One cooling fan
will start and run and then both cooling fans will
run depending on the. amount of cooling the
radiator needs.

6-672

Engine

Engine Cooling

The advantage of the electric fan is less power drain


on the engine and less fan noise. Also, there is
no fan belt to inspect, adjust, or replace. This means
less cooling system maintenance.

The engine cooling fan relays provide the current


required for the motors based on a low current signal
received from the powertrain control module (PCM).

Cooling Fan Relay Description


The cooling tan relays are used to control the high
current flow to power the cooling fan motors. Both fans
operate together. When minimum cooling is required,
the PCM energizes cooling fan relay #1 and both
fans operate at low speed, since the fans are
connected in series through cooling fan relay #2
and #3. When maximum cooling is required, the PCM
energizes all three cooling fan relays. The left fan
is still powered through cooling fan relay #1, but is now
grounded through cooling fan relay #3. The right fan
is now powered directly through cooling fan
relay #2 and both fans operate at high speed.

Water Pump Description


The die-cast water pump is a centrifugal vane impeller
type. The pump consists of a housing, with coolant
inlet and outlet, and an impeller. The impeller is a flat
plate mounted on the pump shaft with a series of
flat or curved blades, or vanes. When the impeller
rotates, the coolant between the blades is thrown
outward by centrifugal force. Then the coolant is forced
through the pump outlet and into the cylinder block.
The pump inlet is connected by a hose to the bottom of
the radiator. Coolant from the radiator is drawn into
the pump to replace the coolant forced thmugh
the outlet.
The impeller shaft is supported on one or more
bearings. A seal prevents<c:;oolant from leaking out
around the bearings. The water pump uses sealed
bearings, \J\fhich never need lubrication. With a sealed
bearing, grease cannot leak out, and dirt and water

cannot get in.

Thermostat Description
The thermostat is a coolant flow control components
that utilizes a temperature sensitive wax-pellet
element (4). Its purpose is to close off the coolant
passage when the engine is cold. Now coolant
circulation is restricted, causing the engine to reach
normal operating temperature more quickly. Also, after
warm-up, the thermostat keeps t.he engine running
at a higher temperature than it would without a
thermostat. The higher operating temperature
improves engine efficiency and reduces exhaust
emissions.
The thermostat performs the following functions:
" Controls the flow of coolant through the radiator
" Enables controlled engine warm up
.. Assists in coolant temperature control

3
13706

The wax pellet element (40 in the thermostat expands


with increasing temperatures, and contracts with
decreasing temperatures. The element connects
through a piston (1) to a thermostat valve (2). When
the element is heated, pressure is exerted against
a rubber diaphragm (3) which forces the thermostat
valve to open. As the element is cooled, the
contraction allows a spring (5) to close the thermostat
valve. While the coolant is cold, the thermostat
valve remains closed. This prevents circulation of
coolant through the radiator. At this point, coolant is
only allowed to circulate throughout the engine
block and heater core in order to allow the engine to
warm quickly. As the engine warms, the element
expands and the thermostat valve opens. This permits
coolant to flow through the radiator, where the heat
dissipates to the atmosphere.

Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor


Description
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a
variable resistance device. The ECT sensor resistance
determines the position of the temperature gauge.
As the temperature increases, the ECT sensor
resistance decreases. This allows for more current to
flow through the gauge, causing a higher temperature
reading.

Engine Cooling

Engine
Air Baffles and Seals Description
A deflector redirects air flow. Deflectors are installed
under the vehicle and redirects the air flow beneath the
vehicle to flow through the cooling system. The
defleciors perform the following functions:
Reduce drag
o Prevent front end lift
Increase radiator cooling
Air baffles are used to direct air into the radiator and
A/C condenser. Air seals ensure that air passes
through, and does not bypass, the radiator and the
A/C con.denser. A missing, damaged, or incorrectly
installed baffle or seal may cause the engine to
overheat.

rotates, then, while maintaining 10 Volts on
the voltmeter, check the current draw on the
ammeter and the pinion speed on' the RPM
indicator.
Turn OFF the switch.
Compare the values to the starter
specifications table. Rerer to Starter
Motor Usage.
- If the current draw and the pinion
speed (RPM) are within the specifications,
then the starter motor is good.
- If the current draw or the pinion
speed (RPM) is not within the specifications,
then replace the starter motor. Refer to
Starter Motor Replacement (3.8 L) or Starter
Motor Replacement (5. 7 L).

1. Remove the starter motor. Refer to Starter

Battery Common Causes of Failure

1052

Caution: Keep fingers, tools, and any other


objects away from the opening in the drive end
housing while making electrical connections. The
strong shifting action of the starter solenoid
can cause severe personal injury or damage to
components as the drive pinion moves into
the cranking position.
3. Make connections as shown with the switch open.
4. Close the switch.
5. Adjust the carbon pile in order to obtain 10 Volts.
6. Compare the readings of the current, the
RPM's, and the voltage. Refer to Starter
Motor Usage.
7. If the pinion does not shift into the cranking
position or the pinion does not rotate, then
turn OFF the switch immediately. Ensure that the
test electrical connections were properly made.
If so, then replace the starter motor.

If the vehicle's battery tests good but st.ill fails to


perform well, the following are some of the more
common causes:
A vehicle accessory was left on overnight.
O The driving speeds have been slow with frequent
stops (stop-and-go driving).
The electrical load has exceeded the generator
output (particularly with the addition of aftermarket
equipment).
Existing conditions in the charging system,
including the following possibilities:
- An electrical short
- A slipping belt
- A bad generator
The battery has not been properly maintained,
including the following situations:
- A failure to keep the terminals tight
- A failure to keep the terminals clean
- A loose battery hold-down
" Power failure caused by an existing mechanical
condition in the electrical system, such as a
short or pinched wire.
The car is in storage for extended periods of time.
Extended cranking periods caused by spark
plug fouling.
The hydrometer has been read incorrectly.
There has been an insufficient ampere-hour
charge rate for a discharged battery.
There is a burned out charge indicator bulb
causing a NO CHARGE condition.
There is a continuous current draw on the battery
through excessive parasitic drain.
The battery is old.

Zero volts indicates an open circuit between the
terminal and the battery. Connect as required.
Reconnect the wiring harness connector to the
generator.

When the charging system is operating normally, the


voltmeter will read between 11-16 volts when the
engine is running. If the voltmeter operates abnormally,
.or if an undercharged or overcharged battery
condition occurs, the following procedure may be used
to diagnosis the chargin~ system.
An undercharged batteiy is often caused by
accessories being left on overnight, or by a hood or
instrument panel compartment lamp that stays on.
Noise from a generator may be ca[Jsed by a
loose drive pulley, loose mounting bolts, worn or dirty
bearings, faulty diode or faulty stator. A magnetic
whining noise may be heard from the CS-130D
generator. This is considered a normal condition.

Precautions
To avoid damage to the electrical equipment, always
observe the following precautions:
Do not reverse the connections to the generator.
Do not short across or ground any of the
terminals in the charging circuit, unless otherwise
directed by instructions.
Never disconnect the generator BAT terminal while
the generator is. operating.
When connecting a battery charger or a booster
battery, follow the procedure in Jump Starting
in Case of Emergency.
Do not attempt to disassemble CS-130D
generator. Damage to the generator could result.
Trouble in the charging system will show up as one or
more of the following conditions:
An abnormal voltmeter reacling
An undercharged battery condition (with slow
cranking or a dark hydrometer)
An overcharged battery condition (with electrolyte
leaks or a yellow hydrometer). Refer to Battery
Hydrometer Displays Dark or Yellow Dot.

Important: Disconnect the negative battery cable


before removing or installing a series-type ammeter at
the generator battery terminal.
Install an ammeter at the generator output
terminal. With the load off, install .a carbon pile
load test across the battery terminals. Start
the engine and run at 2500 RPM. Make sure
this is done at ambient temperature.
, Measure the voltage across the battery, using
the J 39200 If the voltage is above 16 volts,
replace or repair the generator.
Turn on the accessories and place a load on
the battery with the carbon pile to obtain
maximum generator output. Maintain voltage at
13 volts or above. Use an ammeter to check
amperage. Compare output to amperage rating
in Generator Usage.

Spark Plug Visual Diagnosis


Worn or dirty plugs give satisfactory operation at idling
speed, but under operating conditions they frequently
fail, Faulty plugs are indicated in a number of ways:
., Poor fuel economy
" Power loss
O

Loss of speed

Hard starting

., Poor engine performance


Spark plugs may also fail due to the following
conditions:
e

Carbon fouling

" Excessive plug gap


" Broken insulators
Fouled plugs are identified by black carbon deposits.
The black deposits are usually the result of
slow-speed driving and short runs where sufficient
engine temperature is seldom reached. Worn pistons,
rings, faulty ignition, over-rich air/fuel mixture and
spark plugs which are too cold will also result in carbon
deposits. Excessive gap wear, on plugs of low
mileage usually indicated the engine is operating at
high speeds or loads that are consistently greater than
.normal or that a plug which is too hot is being used.
Electrode wear may also be the result of plug
) overheating due to insufficient spark plug torque or too
much spark plug torque. An excessively lean air/fuel
mixture will also result in excessive electrode wear.
Broken insulator are usually the result of improper
installation or carelessness when regapping the plug.
Broken upper insulators usually result from a poor
fitting wrench or an outside impact. The cracked
insulator may not show up right away, but will as soon
as oil or moisture penetrates the crack. The crack
may not be visible. Broken lower insulators usually
result from carelessness when regapping and
generally are visible. This type of break may result
from the plug operating too hot, which may happen in
periods of high-speed operation or under heavy
loads. When regapping a spark plug, always make the
gap adjustment by bending the ground (side)
electrode. Spark plugs with broken insulators should
always by replaced.
Resistor type spark plugs with tapered seats are used.
No gasket is needed on these plugs. These spark
plugs are a High Efficiency (HE) spark plug that has a
fine wire electrode, nickel plated shell and a platinum
pad across from the electrode.

1. Normal service is a mixture of idling, low speed,


and high speed operation.
O Occasional high speed driving is essential to
good spark plug.performance.
Increased combustion heat burns away excess
carbon deposits, which accumulate from
frequent idling or stop~and~go driving .
2. The heat resistant, insulating boot covers the
spark plug terminal.
The boot extends over a portion of the spark
plug insulator.
These boots prevent engine misfiring.
3. Corona discharge is a steady blue light appearing
(in darkness) around the insulator, just above the
shell crimp.
O Do not mistake this for a shorted insulator.
This is visible evidence of a high-tension field.
This has no effect on ignition system
performance.

This discharge repels dust particles.


This leaves a clear ring on the insulator just
above the shell.

This is not evidence that combustion gases


are escaping.

Battery Charging
Before Charging
Notice: Turn OFF the ignition when connecting or
disconnecting the battery cables, the battery charger
or the jumper cables: Failure to do so may damage the
PCM or other electronic components.
Important: Do not use the boost, the jump start or the
crank setting for prolonged charging of batteries if
the charger is equipped with these settings. Using any
of these settings for a prolonged period may cause
gassing or spewing of electrolyte through the
vent hole.
1. Ensure that the electrolyte and the plates are at
room temperature before charging the battery. An
extremely cold battery may not accept the

current for several hours after the charger is


started,
2. Always stop charging, or reduce the charging
rate, if either of thefollowing conditions exists:
.. The battery temperature .is. .52C (125F)
orh~he~

O

Electrolyte spews or gasses violently 'through


the vent holes.
.

3. Replace the baUery when either of the following


conditions exist:
" The hydrometer is clear or yellow.
The battery is frozen.

Engine
Charge Time Required
The time required to charge a battery will vary
depending on the following factors:
The size of. the battery; A. higher capacity battery
which is completely discharged requires more
time to charge than a smaller capacity battery.
The battery temperature; The colder the battery,
the more time it takes to charge.
The battery charger capacity (in Amperes); The
higher the charger amperage, the less time it
will take to charge the battery.
The battery state-of-charge; A completely
discharged battery requires more than twice as
much charge as a half~charged battery.

While Charging
Tools Required
GM PIN 12303040 Battery Terminal Adapters
1. Do not charge a battery with a green hydrometer
dot unless it has just been discharged, such as in
cranking.

'
2. When charging, the adapters should be snug
against the battery t~rminals to keep resistance
to a minimum.
3. Make sure all battery terminals are clean and tight.

4.

5.
6.
7.

8.

Tighten
Tighten the battery side terminal adapters to
15 Nm (11 lb ft).
Best results occur when charging a battery that is
at room temperature. A battery that is extremely
cold may not accept current for several hours.
Charge the battery until the hydrometer has a
green dot.
Inspect the battery every half hour after starting
the battery charger.
Tap the hydrometer lightly to dislodge any air
bubbles. The bubbles may cause a false
indication.
After charging, load test the battery.

Charging Procedure
1. Measure the battery voltage:
Measure the voltage at the battery
terminals using a voltmeter.
A reading of less than 11 Volts indicates that
the charge current is low.
The battery will take longer to accept a current
higher than 2 milliamps.
2. Set the battery charger on the highest setting.
3. If necessary, disable the polarity protection
circuitry:
This circuitry, available on most chargers,
prevents charging unless the charger leads are
properly connected to the battery terminals.
A completely discharged battery may not have
enough voltage to activate this circuitry, even
though the leads are properly connected,
implying that the battery will not accept
a charge.

Engine Electrical

5;.719

Most chargers have an override or a bypass


function so that the charger will turn on and
charge a low voltage battery.
4. The required battery charge time varies according
to the voltage capabilities of the battery charger.
Replace the battery only if the charge current
is not measurable after the following charge times.
16 Volts or more - up to 4 hours
14-15.9 Volts - up to 8 hours
Less than 13.9 Volts - up to 16 hours
5. Reserve capacity rating:
The reserve capacity rating on the battery
label is the n,umber of Ampere-hours of charge
required in order to produce the green
hydrometer dot.

For example, if the battery has a reserve


capacity rating of 90 (expressed in
Ampere-hours), the battery would be recharged
as follows:
- 10 Ampere charge x 9 hours =
90 Ampere hours
- 30 Ampere charge x 3 hours =
90 Ampere hours
.. If the green hydrometer dot is not visible after
an Ampere-hour charge equal to twice the
reserve capacity rating, replace the battery.
6. After charging, load test the battery. Refer to
Battery Electrical Drain/Parasitic Load Test.

Battery Charge low or Completely


Discharged
1. Measure the battery voltage at the battery
terminals using a digital multimeter (DMM).
O A reading of less than 11 V indicates that the
initial charging will be very low.
It could take some time before the battery
accepts current in excess of a few
milliamperes.
2. Set the battery charger on the highest setting.
3. If necessary, disable the polarity protection
circuitry:
This circuitry, available on most chargers,
prevents charging unless the charger leads are
properly connected to the battery terminals.
A completely discharged battery may not have
enough voltage to activate this circuitry, even
though the leads are properly connected,
implying that the battery will not accept
a charge.
Most chargers have an override or a bypass
function so that the charger will turn ON
and charge a low voltage battery.
4. The required battery charge time varies according
to the voltage capabilities of the battery charger.
A charger of less than 14 volts could take up
to 16 hours before it appears to be accepting
current, followed up by several hours of the
appearance of charging.

6-720

Engine El.ectrical

5. To determine the amount of hours. the battery


may need to be charged, the following calculation
can be made:
The reserve capacity rating on the battery
label is the number of ampere2hours of charge
required iri order to produce the green
hydrometer dot.
After the meter on the charger starts to show
current flow, note the number of amps being
accepted.
Determine the reserve capacity of the battery.
Refer to Battery Usage.
Divide the reserve capacity by the number of
amps shown on the meter to determine how
many hours of charging is needed.
6. When the green dot appears in the hydrometer,
discontinue charging.
7. If the green hydrometer dot is not visible after an
ampere-hour charge equal to twice the reserve
capacity rating, replace the battery. Refer to
Battery Replacement.
8. After charging, load test the battery. Refer to
Battery Electrical Drain/Parasitic Load Test.

Description and Operation


Starting System Description
When the ignition switch is turned to tbe START
position, the battery voltage is applied to the starter .
motor solenoid, and both of the starter motor solenoid
windings are energized. The pull-in windings work
together magnetically in order to puU in and hold the
plunger. The plunger then move~ the shift lever..
This action causes the starter dnve to rotate as 1t
engages with the flywheel on the engine. At.th.a same
time, the plunger also closes the starter moto~
.
solenoid switch contacts. Full battery voltage 1s applied
directly to the starter motor, whi.ch iii tum cranks the
engine.
As soon as the coritacts close, the voltage is no
longer applied through the pull-in windings, since the
battery voltage is applied to both ends of the
windings. The hold-in winding remains energized, and
the magnetic field is strong enough to hold the
plunger, the shift lever, ~nd the st~rter drive c_ontacts
in place in order to continue cranking the engine.
When the ignition switch is moved from the START
position, the battery voltage is removed from th~ .
starter motor solenoid and the junction of the windings.
Voltage is applied from the contacts through both .
windings in order to ground at the. end of the hold-in
windings. However, thevoltageapplied to the .
pull-in winding is now opposing the voltage applle~
when the winding was first energized. The magnetic
fields of the pulHn and hold-in windings now
oppose each other. The return spring then causes the
starter drive to disengage and the contacts to open
simultaneously. As soon as the contacts open,
the starter circuit is turned off.

Starting System Operation


When the ignition switch is turned to the start position,
battery voltage is sent to the starter solenoid
contacts. This_ energizes the solenoid windings and
causes movement of the solenoid plunger and
shift lever which causes the drive pinion to engage the
engine flywheel ring gear and the solenoid switch
contacts to close. When the solenoid switch contacts
close, the starter motor is energized and cranking
takes place. As the engine starts, the pinion overrun
clutch protects the motor armature from excessive
speed until the ignition switch is op~ned. Once
the solenoid windings are de-energized, the return
spring causes the pinion to disenQag~_. In or?er
to prevent excessive overrun, the 1grnt!on switch should
be opened immediately when the engine starts.

Starting System Circuit Description

Starter Circu'it Operation


When the ignition switch is moved to the START
position voltage is applied to the normally open
contact~ of the starter relay. Voltage is also applied
through .either the park neutral position switch..
(automatic transmi\3sion) when _in park or neutra_l o~
the clutch pedal position switch (manual transm1ss1on)
when the clutch pedal is depressed, to the starter
relay coil. The body control module (BCM) energizes
the starter relay by grounding one side of the relay
coil only when the theft deterrent system has not been
activated.
When the starter relay is energized, the normally open
contacts close completing the circuit to the starter
solenoid. When the starter solenoid circuit is
completed, both the hold-in windings and the pull-in .
windings are energized. The circuit through the pull-in
winding is complete~ through the st~rter motor. .
The windings work together magnetically to pull in and
hold in the p_lunger. The_ plungern1oves the shift .
lever. This action causes the drive assembly to rotate
as it engages the flywhe~I ring gear on the engine: .
At the same time the plunger also closes the solenoid
switch contacts in the starter solenoid. Full battery
voltage is then applied directly to the starter _motor and
it cranks the engine.
As soon as the solenoid switch contacts close, voltage
is no longer applied to the pull-in winding since. .
battery voltage is applied to both ends of the w1~ding.
The hold-in winding remains energized and c~ntinues
to hold the plunger, the shift lever, ~nd the dnve .
assembly solenoid switch contacts in place to continue
cranking the engine.
When the ignition switch is released from the START
position, battery voltage is removed from the
two windings. Voltage is applied through the motor
contacts and both windings to ground. However,
the direction of current flow through the windings is
reversed. The magnetic fields of the two windings now
oppose one another. The return spring, aided by
the opposing magnetic fields of the windings,
disengages the drive assembly which opens the
solenoid switch contacts. Once the contacts open, the
starter circuit is turned off.

Battery Description

Battery Diagnosis

Caution: Batteries generate hydrogen gas which is


extremely flammable and may explode violently
if ignited by a spark or a flame. Battery acid
is extremely corrosive and causes severe personal
injury if the acid comes into contact with the
skin- blindness if the acid comes into contact with
the eyes. In order to avoid severe personal
injury, use extreme precaution when servicing the
battery or battery-related components.

If the battery tests good but still fails to perform


satisfactorily, the following are some of the more
common causes:
A vehicle accessory was left on overnight.
The driving speeds have been slow with frequent
stops (stop-and-go driving).
The electrical load has exceeded the generator
output (particularly with the addition of aftermarket
equipment).
Existing conditions in the charging system,
including the following possibilities:
- An electrical short
- A slipping belt
- A bad generator
- A bad generator voltage regulator
O The battery has not been properly maintained,
including the following situations:
- A failure to keep the terminals tight
- A failure to keep the terminals clean
- A loose battery hold-down
Existing mechanical conditions in. the electrical
system, such as any short or pinched wires,
attributing to power failure.
The car is in storage for extended periods of time.
Plug fouling, causing extended cranking periods.
The hydrometer has been read incorrectly.
There has been an insufficient Ampere-hour
charge rate for a discharged battery.
There is a burned out charge indicator bulb
causing a NO CHARGE condition.
" There is a continuous current draw on the battery
through excessive parasitic drain.
The battery is old.

A maintenance free battery is standard on all vehicles.


There are no vent plugs in the cover. The battery is
completely sealed except for two small vent holes
in the side. These vent holes allow the small amount
of gas that is produced in the battery to escape.
The battery consists of the following components:
Hydrometer lens (1)
" Negative terminal (2)
Hold-down ramp (3)
Positive terminal (4)
" Battery grids (5)
The battery has three functions in the electrical
system:
Provides electrical current when the vehicle's
electrical nee.ds exceed the generator's output.
Stabilizes current surges in the charging system in
order to protect electrical systems.
Stores electrical energy for the starting system.
The battery specification label contains important

information about the following:


The test ratings
The original model number
The recommended replacement model number
The cold cranking Amps (CCA)

Battery Operation
The battery supplies current to operate the starting
motor and the ignition system when the engine is being
started. The battery has three major functions in the
electrical system:
1. Provides a source of energy for cranking the
engine
2. Acts as a voltage stabilizer for the electrical
system

3. For a limited time, it can provide energy when the


electrical load used exceeds the output of the
generator

The battery is an electrochemical devise.. This means


the battery uses chemicals to produce electricity.
The amount of electricity it can produce is limited. As
the chemicals in the battery are used up, the
battery runs down, or is discharged. It can be
recharged by supplying it with electric current from a
battery charger, or from the vehicle generator.
The used up chemicals are then returned to their
original condition, so the battery becomes recharged.

Charging System Description


The charging system consists of the following
components:
.. The battery

The generator (CS-1300)


A voltage regulator
O

405471

Indicator lamp or voltmeter circuitry

CS-Series Generators

405469

Model CS-Series generators (1) feature a high


ampere output per pound of weight. The CS stands
for charging systems. The 130 is the measurement, in
millimeters, of the outside diameter of the stator
laminations and the D is for dual internal fans. The
delta stator, rectifier bridge, and the rotor with slip rings
and brushes, are electrically similar to other
CS series generators. The CS-1300 generator uses a
conventional pulley and dual internal fans to cool
the slip ring end frame, rectifier bridge and voltage
regulator.
The generator's rotor shaft (2) is rotated by the engine
drive belt. The rotor shaft rotates the generator's
rotor. The generator produces the electrical current
that charges the battery. The generator also provides
energy to the vehicle's electrical systems when the
engine is running.

The charging system provides voltage to the


battery and to the vehicle electrical systems. The
generator's voltage regulator controls the rotor's field
current to meet these needs.
Current flows (1) through the ~lip rings (8) to the rotor
winding (2) in order to create a magnetic field (3).
The engine-driven rotor (4) is rotated by the engine
within the stator (5). This rotation creates an
alternating current (AC) voltage in the stator
windings (6). The AC voltage go1s to the rectifier
bridge (7). The rectifier bridge converts this AC voltage
to direct current (DC) voltage. The DC voltage is
delivered from the generator's output terminal to the
battery and the electrical systems through a fusible
link (11). Theregulator grounds circuit 225 (10) when
the charging system voltage is abnormal: This
information causes the PCM to send a class 2
message to the instrument panel cluster, which
activates the CHECK GAGES lamp.
The voltage regulator limits system voltage by
controlling the rotor field CLJrrent. When the field
ccurrent is on, the regulator switches the rotor field on
and off at a fixed rate of about 400 cycles per second.
By varying the overall on/off time, correct average field
current for proper system voltage control is maintained.
At high speeds, the on time may be 1o percent .and the
off time may be 90 percent. At low speeds, and with
high electrical loads, the on/off time may be 90 percent
and 1Opercent respectively. The voltmeter reads
battery voltage when the engine is not running and
reads charging system voltage when the engine is
running. The normal indication is between 11 and
16 volts.

Engine

The generator uses only two connections-battery


positive and the L terminal, in addition to the ground
path through the generator bracket. Use of P, I, and
S terminals is optional. The P terminal is connected to
the stator and may be connected externally to a
tachometer or other devise. The I terminal can be
connected directly to battery voltage to power
the generator instead of, or in addition to, the
L terminal which must be stepped down. This
S terminal may be connected to an external voltage
source, such as voltage near the battery, for voltage
control. If the S terminal is not used, internal generator
voltage is used for control.
The CS-130D generator must be replaced. Do not
disassemble the CS-130D generator.

Charging System Operation


The charging system has two jobs:
1. To put back into the battery the current used to
start the engine
2. To handle the load ofthe lights, ignition, radio,
and other electrical and electronic equipment
while the engine is running.
The charging system includes the generator, regulator,
and battery, with connecting wires.
The generator converts mechanical energy from the
engine into electrical energy. It keeps the battery
in a charged condition and handles electrical loads
while the engine is running. The alternator produces
alternating current (ac) inside the stator windings.
Diodes convert this ac into direct current (de).

Charging System Circuit Description


Charging Circuit Operation
The generator provides voltage to operate the
electrical system and to charge the battery. A magnetic
field is created when current flows through the rotor
windings. This field rotates as the rotor is driven by the
engine, creating an AC voltage in the stator windings.
The AC voltage is then converted to a DC voltage
by a rectifier bridge. This DC voltage is then supplied
through circuit 1 to the electrical system at the
battery terminal.
The amount of output voltage is controlled by the
current supplied to the rotor. The solid state regulator
in the generator controls the current supplied to
the rotor. The rotor current is a series of electrical
pulses supplied by the regulator. When the ignition
switch is first placed in the RUN position, the
pulse width is very narrow. This causes the rotor to
produce a weak magnetic field. This will produce
a lower output voltage to the vehicle's electrical
system. Once the engine is running, the regulator
monitors the output voltage through an internal wire

Ignition System Description (3.8 l)


The electronic ignition system controls fuel.combustion
by providing a spark to ignite the compressed
air/fuel mixture at the correct time. To provide optimum
engine performance, fuel economy, and control of
exhaust emissions, the PCM controls the spark
advance of the ignition system. The electronic ignition
system does not use the conventional distributor
and coil. The electronic ignition system has the
following advantages over the conventional. mechanical
distributor system:
O
No moving parts
Less maintenance required
" Remove mounting capability
O
No mechanical load on the engine
More coil cool down time between firing
Elimination of mechanical timing adjustments
" Increased available ignition coil saturation time
The electronic ignition system consists of
three twin-tower ignition coils, an ignition control
module, a dual Hall-effect crankshaft position sensor,
an engine crankshaft balancer with interrupter
rings attached to the rear, related connecting wires,
and the Ignition Control (IC) and fuel metering portion
of the PCM.
The three twin-tower ignition coils are individually
mounted to the ignition control module. Each end of a
coils secondary winding is attached to a spark
plug. Each cylinder is paired with the cylinder that is
opposite it. These two spark plugs are on top
dead center at the same time. When the ignition coil
fires, both plugs fire at the same time to complete
the circuit. The cylinder on compression is said to be
the event cylinder and the one on exhaust is the
waste cylinder. The cylinder on the exhaust stroke
requires very little of the available energy to fire
the plug. The remaining energy will be used as
required by the cylinder on the compression stroke.
The same process is repeated when the cylinders
reverse roles. This method of ignition is called a waste
spark ignition system.
The electronic ignition system consists of the following
components:
~ Crankshaft position sensor
~ Crankshaft balancer interrupter rings
~ Camshaft position sensor
Ignition coils
Ignition control module
Powertrain control module (PCM)

Ignition System Operation

Less maintenance required

The ignition system supplies high-voltage surges to


the spark plugs in the engine cylinders. These surges
produce electric sparks across the spark plug gaps.
The heat from the sparks ignites, or sets fire to,
the compressed air-fuel mixture in the combustion
chambers. When the engine is idling, the spark
appears at the plug gap just as the piston nears top
dead. center (TDC) on the. compression .stroke.
When the engine is operating at higher speeds, or
with part throttle, the spark is advanced. It is moved
ahead and occurs earlier in the compression
stroke. This gives the compressed mixture more 1ime
to burn and deliver its energy to the pistons.

Remove mounting capability


No mechanical load on the engine
More coil cool down time between firing
Elimination of mechanical timing adjustments
Increased available ignition coil saturation time
The ignition system on this vehicle feature a multiple
coil ignition and is known as coil near plug. The
secondary ignition wires are short compared with a
distributor ignition system wire. Eight ignition
coils/module are individually mounted above each
cylinder on the rocker cov.ers. The coil/mo.dules
are fired sequentially. There is ah Ignition Control (IC)
circuit for each ignition coil/module. The eight ignition
control circuits are connected to the PCM. All
timing decisions are made by the PCM, which triggers
each coil/module individually.

Fuel System Specifications


If you have the 3800 V6 engine (VIN Code K), use
regular unleaded gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher.
If you have the 5.7L V8 engine (VIN Code G), use
premium unleaded gasoline rated at 91 octane
or higher for best performance. You may use middle
grade or regular unleaded gasolines, but your
vehicl,e may not accelerate as well.
It is recommended that the gasoline meet specification
which have been developed by the American
Automobile Manufactures Association (AAMA) and
endorsed by the Canadian Motor Vehicle
Manufacturers Association for better vehicle
performance and engine protection. Gasolines
meeting the AAMA specification could provide
improved driveability and emission control system
performance compared to other gasolines. For more
information, write to: American Automobile
Manufacturer's Association, 7430 Second Ave,
Suite 300, Detroit Ml 48202.
Be sure the posted octane for premium is at least 91
(at least 89 for middle grade and 87 for regular). If
the octane is less than 87, you may get a heavy
knocking noise when you drive. If it's bad enough, it
can damage your engine.

If you're using fuel rated at the recommended octane


or higher and you hear heavy knocking, your
engine needs service .. But don't worry if you hear a
little pinging noise when you're accelerating or driving
up a hill. That's normal, and you don't have to buy
a higher octane fuel to get rid of pinging. It's the heavy,
constant knock that means you have a problem.
Notice: Your vehicle was not designed for fuel that
contains methanol. Do not use methanol fuel
which can corrode metal parts in your fuel system and
also damage plastic and rubber parts. This kind of
damage would not be covered under your warranty.
If your vehicle is certified to meet to meet California
Emission Standards (indicated on the under hood
emission control label), it is designed to operate on
fuels that meet Califomia specifications. If such
fuels are not available in states adopting California
emissions standards, your vehicle will operate
satisfactorily on fuels meeting federal specifications,
but emission control system performance may be
affected. The malfunction indicator lamp on your
instrument panel may turn on and/or your vehicle may
fail a smog-check test. If this occurs, return to your
authorized dealer for diagnosis to determine the cause
of failure. In the event it is determined that the
cause _of the condition is the type of fuels used, repairs
may not be covered by your warranty.
Some gasolines that are not reformulated for low
emissions may contain an octane-enhancing additive
called methylcyclopentadienyl manganese
tricarbonyl (MMT); ask your service station operator
whether or not the fuel contains MMT.

Begin the system diagnosis with the A Powertrain On


Board Diagnostic (080) System Check. The
Powertrain OBD System Check will provide the
following information:
The identification of the control module(s) w~ich
command the system.
The ability of the control module(s) to
communicate through the serial data circuit.
The identification of any stored diagnostic trouble
codes (DTCs) and their status.
The use of the Powertrain OBD System Check will
identify the correct procedure for diagnosing the
system and where the procedure is located.

A Powertrain On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check

Refer to Engine Controls Schematics.

Circuit Description
The Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic System Check
must be the starting point for any driveability complaint
diagnosis. Before using this procedure, you should
perform a careful visual/physical inspection of the PCM
and engine grounds for clean and secure connections.
The Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic System Check
is an organized approach to identifying a problem
created by an electronic engine control system
malfunction.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following:

Important: Remove any debris from the connector


surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly .. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
" Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display
on the scan .tool while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A
change in .the display may indicate the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
" Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for
clean and secure connections.

If the OTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing


the Failure Records can be useful in determining
when the OTC was last set.

Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Table:
1. The MIL should be ON steady with the key ON,
engine OFF. If not, the No Malfunction Indicator
Lamp table should be used to isolate the
malfunction.
2. This test ensures that the PCM is capable of
transmitting Class 2 serial data to the DLC
and that the Class 2 data circuit is not open or
shorted. If a problem is encountered and a
malfunctioning scan tool is suspected, try the scan
tool on another vehicle to verify operation. If a
DLC problem exists, the DLC Diagnosis table
should be used to diagnose the condition.
3. IUhe engine will not start, the Engine Cranks But
Will Not Run table should be used to diagnose
the condition.
4. The scan tool may display DTCs which are
diagnosed in Automatic Transmission/Transaxle
Diagnosis. If multiple DTCs are stored, diagnose
each OTC according to the following priority:
PCM Error DTCs.
System Voltage DTCs.
e Component Level DTCs (Switches, sensor
range/performance, sensor high voltage,
sensor low voltage, ODMs, etc.).
O
System level DTCs (Fuel trim, Misfire, EGR
flow, TWC System, Idle Control System,
H02S Response or H02S Transition Time
Ratio).
5. A scan tool parameter which is not within the
typical range may help to isolate the area which is
causing the problem.

Scan Tool Data List


The Engine Scan Tool Data List contains all engine
related parameters that are available on the scan tool.
The list is arranged in alphabetical order. A given
parameter may appear in any one of the data lists, and
in some cases may appear more than once, or in
more than one data list in order to group certain
related parameters together.
Use the Engine Scan Tool Data List only after the
following is determined:
Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic System Check is
completed.
No Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are active.
On-board diagnostics are functioning properly.
Scan tool values from a properly running engine may
be used for comparison with the engine you are
diagnosing. The Engine Scan Tool Data List
represents values that would be seen on a normally
running engine.

Important: A scan tool that displays faulty data should


not be used. The scan tool concern should be
reported to the manufacturer. Use of a faulty scan tool .
can result in misdiagnosis and unnecessary parts
replacement.
Only the parameters listed below are referenced in
this service manual for use in diagnosis. If all values
are within the typical range described below, reier
to Symptoms for diagnosis.
The column labeled Data List indicates where a
parameter can be located on the scan tool. Refer to
the scan tool operating manual for the exact locations
of the data lists. The following is a description of

ECT: Scan tool displays -40C to 151 C, -40F to
304F. The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
is mounted in the coolant stream. The PCM applies
5 volts to the ECT sensor circuit. The sensor is a .
thermistor which changes interna.1 resistance as
temperature changes. When the sensor is cold
(internal resistance high), the PCM monitors a high
signal voltage and interprets it as a cold engine. As the
sensor warms (internal resistance decreases), the
voitage signal decreases and the PCM interprets the
lower voltage as a warm engine.
EGR Closed Valve. Pintle Position: Scan tool
dispiays 0.0 to 5.0 volts. Represents the learned
voltage that the PCM uses to determine whether or
not the EGR valve is fully closed (0 percent pintle
position). If the Desired EGR Position is O percent and

Sen. 2: Scan tool displays Oto 1132 mV. Represents
thEl fuel control exhaust oxygen sensor output
voltage. Should fluctuate constantly within a range
between 10 mV(lean exhaust) and 1000 mV
(rich exhaust) while operating in Closed Loop.
H02S Warm-Up Sensor Bank 1 Sen. 1 I Bank 2
Sen. 1 I Bank 1 Sen. 2: Scan tool displays
00:.00 to 99:99 MIN:SEC; Indicates time to warm-up
for each H02S. The H02S warm up time is used
for the H02S heater test. The PCM will run the heater
test only after a cold start (determined by engine
coolant and intake air temperature at the time
of startup) and only once during an ignition cycle.
When the engine is started the PCM will monitor the
H02S voltage. When the H02S voltage indicates
a sufficiently active sensor, the PCM looks at
how much time has elapsed since startup. If the.PCM
determines thattoo much time was required for the
H02S to become active, a DTC will set. If the engine
was warm when started, H02S Warm-Up will
display the. value that was stored last time the test
ran. If info has. been cleared, H02S Warm-Up

a faulty H02S 1.

6.:836

Engine Controls - 3.8L

IAT: Scah tool displays -40C to 151C, ~40F to


304F .. The. PCM converts the resistance of the ihtake
air temperature sensor to degrees. The PCM uses
Intake air temperature (IAT) to adjust fuel delivery and
spark timing according to incoming air density. IAT
is also compared to ECT at startup to identify
cold starts for the H02S heater and the EVAP
diagnostics.
Ignition 1: Scan tool displays O to 25.5 volts.
Represents the system voltage measured by the PCM
at its ignition teed.
Ignition Mode: Scan tool displays BYPASS or IC.
Indicates the commanded state of the Bypass
signal output from the PCM. When BYPASS is
displayed, the ignition control module is controlling the
spark advance at a fixed 10 degrees BTDC (Bypass
mode). IC displayed indicates that the PCM has
requested control of the spark advance (IC mode).
The ignition control module determines the correct
operating mode based on the level .of voltage that the.
PCM applies to the ignition control module bypass
circuit. The PCM provides 5 volts to the ignition control
module bypass circuit when conditions are appropriate
for PCM control of spark timing (IC mode). If the
PCM does not apply 5 volts to the bypass circuit, or if
the ignition control module does not receive it, the
module will control spark timing.

Injector Pulse Width: Scan tool displays


Oto 1000 msec. Indicates. the amount of time the PCM
is commanding each injector ON during each engine
cycle. A longer injector pulse width will cause more fuel
to be delivered. Injector Pulse Width should increase
with increased engine load,
Knock Retard: Scan tool displays 0.0 degrees to
25.5 degrees. Indicates the. amount of spark the PCM
is removing from IC spark advance in response to
the signal from the knock sensors. The Traction
Control system Desired Torque signal.from the EBTCM
may cause knock retard to display a value greater
than 0.0 degrees if Traction Control is active.
long Term Fuel Trim Bank 1 I Bank 2: Scan tool
displays -23 percent to 16 percent.Long Term Fuel
Trim is derived from the Short Term Fuel Trim value
and represents a long-term correction of fuel
delivery. A value of O percent indicates that fuel
delivery requires no compensation to maintain the
PCM commanded air/fuel ratio. A negative value
significantly below O percent indicates that the fuel
system is rich and fuel delivery is being reduced
(decreased injector pulse width). A positive value
significantly greater than O percent indicates that. a
lean condition exists and the PCM is compensating by
adding fuel (increased injector pulse width). Because
Long Term Fuel Trim tends to follow Short Term
Fuel Trim; a value in the negative range due to
canister purge at idle should not be considered
unusual. The PCMs maximum authority to control long
term fuel trim allows a range between -23 percent
and + 16 percent. Fuel trim values at or near maximum
authority may indicate an excessively rich or lean
system.

Engine
loop Status: Scan tool displays OPEN or CLOSED.
Closed loop indicates that the PCM is controlling
fuel delivery according to oxygen sensor voltage. In
Open Loop', the PCM ignores the oxygen sensor
voltage and bases the amount of fuel to be delivered
on TP sensor, engine coolant, and MAF sensor
inputs only.
MAF: Scan tool displays 0.0-512 g/s. Mass air
flow (MAF) is the MAF Input Frequency converted to
grams of air per second. This indicates the amount
of air entering the engine.
MAF Frequency: Scan tool displays O to 32000 Hz.
The mass air flow sensor input signal to the PCM
is a frequency which varies from around 3000 Hz at
idle to above 7000 Hz.at wide-open throttle. The PCM
converts this frequency signal to grams per .second to
be displayed 911 .the scan tool as MAF.
MAP: Scan tool displays
10-105 kPa/0.00 to 4.97 volts. The manifold absolute
pressure (MAP} ~ensor measures the. change in
.
the in.take manifold pressure from engine load, EGR
flow, and speed changes. As intake manifold pressure
increases, Jntake vacuum decreases resulting in a
higher MAP sensor voltage and kPa reading. The MAP
sensor signal is used to monitor intake manifold
pres9urechanges during the EGR flow test, to update
the BARO reading, and as an enabling factor for
many of the diagnostics.
MIL: Listed in Eng 2 Data list O Sc.an tool displays
ON or OFF. Indicates the PCM commanded state
of the malfunction indicator lamp.

MIL: Scan tool displays OK, Fault or Invalid state'.


These parameters describe the condition of the control
circuit..

Power Enrichment: Scan tool displays ACTIVE or


INACTIVE. ACTIVE displayed indicates that the
PCM has detected conditions appropriate to operate in
Power Enrichment mode. The PCM will command
Power Enrichment mode when a large increase
in throttle position and load is detected. While in Power
Enrichment, the, PCM will increase the amount of
fuel delivered by entering Open Loop and increasing
the injector pulse width. This is done to prevent a
possible sag or hesitation from occurring during
acceleration.
Reduced Engine Power: Scan tool displays
ACTIVE or INACTIVE. The scan tool displays Active
when the PCM has diagnosed a ETC problem or
during drivetrain abuse protection. The PCM limits the
engine power.
Rich/Lean Bank 1 I Bank 2: Scan tool displays
RICH or LEAN. Indicates whether oxygen sensor
voltage is greater than a 600 mV threshold voltage
(rich) or less than a 300 mV threshold voltage (lean).
Should change constantly while in closed loop,
indicating that the PCM is controlling the air/fuel
mixture properly.

Short Term Fuel Trim Bank 1 I Bank 2: Scan tool


displays -11percent to 20 percent. Short Term
Fuel Trim represents a short-term correction to fuel
delivery by the PCM in response to the amount of time
the fuel control oxygen sensor voltage spends
above or below the 450 mV threshold. If the oxygen
sensor voltage has mainly remained less than 450 mV,
indicating a lean air/fuel mixture, short term fuel trim
will increase into the positive range above O percent
and the PCM will add fuel. If the oxygen sensor
voltage stays mainly above the threshold, short term
fuel trim will decrease below O percent into the
negative range while the PCM reduces fuel delivery to
compensate for the indicated rich condition. Under
certain conditions such as extended idle and high
ambient temperatures, canister purge may cause Short
Term Fuel Trim to read in the negative range during
normal operation. The PCMs maximum authority
to control fuel trim allows a range between - i 1 percent
and +20 percent. Fuel trim values at maximum
authority may indicate an excessively rich or lean
system.

Traction Control: Scan tool displays ACTIVE or
INACTIVE. Active will be displayed if a message
is received from the EBTCM requesting torque
reduction.
Traction Control Desired Torque:

Scan tool range

O percent to 100 percent. Represents the PWM


signal from the electronic brake and traction control
module. The EBTCM reduces th.e Traction Control
Desired Torque signal pulse width when a drive wheel
slippage situation is detected. The PCM monitors
the Traction Control Desired Torque signal and
reduces drive wheel slippage as necessary by
retarding spark timing, or increasing air/fuel ratio. The
PCM can also turn OFF up to three fuel injectors if
the Traction Control Desired Torque signal indicates a
large enough amount of drive wheel slippage. A
problem with the Traction Control Desired Torque
signal should cause a OTC to set.
Traction Control Torque: Scan tool range
O percent to 100 percent. Represents the PWM signal
which indicates the percent of available torque the
engine is delivering to the drive wheels. The EBTCM
monitors the Traction Control Torque signal to
ensure that the PCM is responding properly to the
Traction Control Desired Torque signal.

LOW. The TR switch A I B I C display represents the
states of the four inputs from the transaxle range
switch. HIGH displayed indicates a B+ voltage signal
being monitored at the PCM, LOW displayed
indicates a grounded input signal. The combination of
transaxle range inputs indicates the position of the
transaxle manual valve.

TWC Protection: Scan tool displays ACTIVE or


INACTIVE. ACTIVE displayed indicates that the PCM
has detected conditions appropriate to operate in
TWC Protection mode. This is determined based on
engine load and engine coolant temperature. While in.
TWC Protection, the PCM will decrease Air/Fuel
Ratio to a value that depends on mass air flow (higher
Mass Airflow= lower Air/Fuel Ratio).
Vehicle Speed: Scan tool displays 0-255 km/h,
0-155 mph. The vehicle speed sensor signal is
converted into mph and km/h for display.
VTD Fuel Disable: Scan tool displaysACTIVE or
INACTIVE. The Theft Deterrent Fuel Enable circuit is
an input from the vehicle theft deterrent control
module that signals the PCM to enable the injectors if
the proper signal is.received. The scan tool will
normally display INACTIVE. If the vehicle theft,
deterrent control module does not sent the correct
Theft Deterrent Fuel Enable signal to the PCM,
the display will switch to ACTIVE and the fuel system
may be disabled. Refer to DTCsP1626,P1629,.or
Vehicle Theft Deterrent diagnosis for further
information.

Diagnostic Aids

Circuit Description

Inspect for the following:


If the engine runs OK, test for a malfunctioning
MIL, an open in the MIL control circuit, or an
open in the instrument cluster ignition feed.
If the engine cranks but will not run, test for an
open PCM ignition or battery feed or a poor
PCM to engine ground.

There should be a steady MIL with the ignition ON


and the engine not running. Ignition feed voltage
is supplied directly to the MIL. The powertrain control
module (PCM) turns the MIL ON by grounding the
MIL control circuit. No MIL with the key ON, engine not
running and the MIL DTC set suggests an open in
the MIL control circuit.

MIL Operation
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located on the
instrument panel (CHECK ENGINE) or (SERVICE
ENGINE SOON). The MIL performs the following
functions:
It informs the driver that a problem has occurred
and that the vehicle should be taken for service
as soon as possible.
As a system check, the MIL will illuminate with the
ignition switch ON and the engine not running.
when the engine is started, the MIL will turn OFF.
If the MIL remains ON, the self-diagnostic
system has detected a problem. If the problem
goes away, the MIL will turn OFF in most cases,
but a diagnostic trouble code will remain stored.
If the MIL is illuminated, then the engine stalls, the
MIL wm remain IUuminated so long as the ignition
switch is ON.
Now, if the MIL is not illuminated and the engine
stalls, the MIL will not illuminate until the ignition
switch is cycled OFF, then ON.
Perform the Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic System
Check first, when.the following conditions are
present:
When the MIL does nofturn ON when the ignition
switch is turned to the RUN position.
When the MIL remains ON while the engine is
running.
When you suspect a driveability problem.

Important: Remove any debris from the connector


surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly; The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display
on the scan tool while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A
change in the display may indicate the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for
. clean and secure connections.
If the DTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Failure Records can be useful in determining
when the DTC was last set.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table:
2. If the MIL OTC is set, the MIL Control Circuit table

Circuit Description

The Electronic Ignition system uses a waste spark


method of spark distribution. In this type of ignition
system, the ignition control module triggers the correct
coil based on the sync signal received from the
crankshaft position sensor, resulting in both spark
plugs connected to the coil firing at the same time. The
spark plug for the cylinder on the exhaust stroke
requires a lower energy requirement to fire, leaving
the remaining high voltage to fire the spark plug for the
cylinder on the compression stroke.
During crank, the ignition control module monitors the
CKP sync signal. The CKP sync signal is used to
determine the correct cylinder pair to fire first. The CKP
sync signal is used only by the ignition control
module to initiate ignition coil firing sequence. It is not
passed to the PCM. After the ignition control module

processes the CKP sync signal, the ignition control


module monitors the 18X CKP signal and sends
18X and 3X reference pulses to the PCM. When the
PCM receives these pulses, the PCM will command all
six injectors to allow a priming shot of fuel for all the
cylinders. After the priming, the injectors are left
OFF during the next six 3X reference pulses from the
ignition control module. This allows each cylinder a
chance to use the fuel from the priming shot. During
this waiting period, the PCM receives a camshaft
position signal pulse. The camshaft position signal
allows the PCM to operate the injectors sequentially
based on camshaft position. If the camshaft position
signal is not present at start-up, the PCM will
begin fuel delivery with a 1 in 6 chance that fuel
delivery is correct.

Diagnostic Aids

Test Description

Inspect for the following:


Malfunctioning engine coolant temperature sensor.
Using a scan tool, compare engine coolant
temperature with intake air temperature on a
completely cool engine. engine coolant
temperature should be within 10c of intake air
temperature. If not, replace the ECT sensor.
Throttle position sensor.
If the TP angle is more than 80 percent, the PCM
may operate in clear flood mode. The PCM will
not allow fuel delivery while operating in clear
flood mode.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the


diagnostic table:

Important: Remove any debris from the connector


surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display
on the scan tool while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A
change in the display may indicate the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for
clean and secure connections.
If the DTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Failure Records can be useful in determining
when the DTC was last set.

5. Determines if the ignition control module (ICM) is


receiving the 18X CKP Reference signal. If the
18X CKP signal to the ICM is not present,
there will be no RPM, spark, or fuel injector
pulses.
6. Ensures that the ICM has the proper voltage
supply and ground.
8. Verifies that the ICM is supplying the proper
sensor feed voltage.
24. Test for the proper operation of the CKP Sync
signal, ICM and related spark system components.
Without the CKP Sync signal the ICM is unable
to properly sequence the ignition coils.
35. If the 18X and CKP Sync signals to the ICM or
the 18X and 3X reference signals to the ICM
short together the vehicle will not start and run.
However, there will be spark and fuel injector
pulses.
46. This vehicle is equipped with a PCM which utilizes
an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only
Memory (EEPROM). When the PCM is replaced,
the new PCM must be programmed.

Circuit Description
When the ignition switch is first turned on, the PCM
energizes the fuel pump relay which applies power to
the in-tank fuel pump. The fuel pump relay will
remain on as long as the engine is running or cranking
and the PCM is receiving reference pulses. If no
reference pulses are present, the PCM de-energizes
the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds after the
ignition is turned on or the engine is stopped.
The fuel pump delivers fuel to the fuel rail and
injectors, then to the fuel pressure regulator. The fuel
pressure regulator controls fuel pressure by allowing
excess fuel to be returned to the fuel tank.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following:
Important: Remove any debris from the connector
surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper

tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor


Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Oamagedtiamess.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display
on the scan tool while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A
change in the display may indicate the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for
clean and secure connections.
If the OTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Failure Records can be useful in determining
when the OTC was last set.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table:
2. Tests the ignition feed circuit to the fuel
pump relay.
3. Verifies that the fuel pump feed circuit is OK
between the fuel pump relay and the fuel pump,
and that the fuel pump can deliver adequate
pressure to the fuel rail.

Fuel Metering System


Some failures of this system will result in an Engine
Cranks But Will Not Run symptom. If this condition
exists, Refer to Engine Cranks but Does Not Run. This
will determine if the problem is caused by the ignition
system, the PCM, or the fuel pump electrical circuit.
Refer to Fuel Pump Electrical Circuit Diagnosis for the
fuel system wiring schematic.
If there is a fuel delivery problem, Refer to Fuel
System Pressure Test. This diagnoses the fuel
injectors, the fuel pressure regulator, and the fuel
pump. If a malfunction occurs in the fuel metering
system, it usually results in either a rich H02S signal
or lean H02S signal. This condition is indicated by
the H02S voltage, causing the PCM to change the fuel
calculation (fuel injector pulse width) based on the
H02S reading. Changes made to the fuel calculation
will be indicated by a change in the long term fuel
trim values which can be monitored with a scan tool.

Ideal long term fuel trim values are around O percent;


for a lean H02S signal, the PCM will add fuel,
resulting in a fuel trim value above O percent and for a
rich H02S signal the PCM will take away fuel,
resulting in a fuel trim value below O percent. Some
variations in fuel trim values are normal due to
powertrain design. If the fuel trim values are
excessively greater or lower then O percent Refer to
OTC P0171 Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 1 or
OTC P0172 Fuel Trim SystemRich Bank 1.

Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor


The MAF sensor is mounted to the front of the throttle
body, and is used to measure the amount of air
entering the engine. The PCM uses this information to
determine the operating condition of the engine and
to control fuel delivery. For further information, refer to
Information Sensors/Switches Description.

Fuel System Pressure Test


A fuel system pressure test is part of several of the
diagnostic charts and.symptom checks. To perform this
test, referto Fuel SystemPressure Test.

Circllit Description

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the amount


of air which passes through it into the engine. The
PCM uses the mass air flow information to monitor
engine operating conditions for fuel delivery
calculations. A large quantity of air entering the engine
indicates an acceleration or high load situation,
while a small quantity of air indicates deceleration
or idle.
The MAF sensor produces a frequency signal which
can be monitored using a scan tool. The frequency will
vary within a range of around 2000 Hertz at idle to
near 10,000 Hertz at maximum engine load.
OTC P0101 will be set if the signal from the MAF.
sensor does not match a predicted value based on
barometric pressure, air density, manifold pressure,
throttle position and engine RPM.

The difference between actual airflow and predicted


airflow is more than a calibrated value.

Conditions for Running the OTC

The engine is running.


Ignition voltage between 9.0 and 18.0 volts.
Throttle is steady and less than 30 percent.
EGR duty cycle is less than 100 percent.
EGR pintle position is less than 100 percent.
MAP is steady and less than 80 kPa.
EV AP canister purge is less than 100 percent.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in
which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the OTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.
The History OTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
The OTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

6~858

Engine

Engine Controls - 3.8L

Diagnostic Aids
lnspectfor the following:
" Skewed or stuck TP sensor. A faulty TP sensor or
TP sensor circuit can cause the PCM to incorrectly
calculate the predicted mass air flow value.
Observe throttle angle with the throttle closed. If
the throttle angle reading is not O percent, test for
the following conditions and repair as necessary:
If none of the above conditions are noted and the
throttle angle reading at closed throttle is not
O percent, replace the TP sensor.
" Skewed MAP sensor. A skewed MAP sensor can
cause the BARO reading to be incorrectly
calculated. To test the MAP sensor, compare the
MAP/BARO reading on the vehicle being
diagnosed to the MAP/BARO reading on a
normally operating vehicle. If a large difference is
noted replace the MAP sensor.
.. Plugged intake air duct or dirty air filter element.
" The actual mass air flow is compared to a
calculated Mass Air Flow based on the MAP, TP,
and engine RPM readings (speed density). A
skewed/unresponsive MAP sensor at key ON will
cause the calculated mass air flow value to be
inaccurate. When the engine is started a
calculated difference between actual Mass Air
Flow and Calculated mass air flow occurs.
OTC P0101 will set, the vehicle will stall, a default
mass air flow based on the MAP sensor will
occur. Because the MAP sensor is
skewed/unresponsive the default mass air flow
values are incorrect and vehicle may not restart. If
a fault occurs which causes the MAP sensor
value to be incorrect (poor vacuum connections,
damaged vacuum source, or defective vacu.um
hoses, air entering the engine without passing
through the MAF), DTC P0101 will set and
the default mass airflow value will be substituted.
Because the MAP sensor value is incorre.ct
the vehicle may not start and run.

Important: Remove any debris from the c<;>nnector


surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
cornponent. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
" Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
.. Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display
on the scan tool while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A
change ih the display may indicate the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for
clean and secure connections.
If the OTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Failure Records can be useful in determining
when the OTC was last set.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table:

3. Only, if sent here from the Engine Cranks But


Does Not Run, continue to follow diagnostic table
even if OTC P0101 has NOT failed this ignition.
4. This step tests the MAP. sensor. By disconnecting
the MAF sensor, the vehicle is forced into speed
density. Speed density is based on the MAP,
TP, and engine RPM readings. With a
skewed/unresponsive MAP sensor, the speed
density calculation is incorrect and vehicle may not
start. For further information refer to
diagnostic aids.
5. This step tests for skewed 6r sticking MAP
sensor. MAP sensor should respond smoothly and
gradually as RPM. is increased. Compare MAP
sensor of affected vehicle to that of a normally
operating vehicle if a large difference is noted
replace the MAP sensor.
9. Verifies that ignition feed voltage and .a good
ground are available at the MAF sensor.

PCM uses the mass air flow information to monitor
.
engine operating conditions for fuel delivery
calculations. A large quantity of air entering 'the engine
indicates an acceleration or high load situation,
while a small quantity of air indicates deceleration or
idle. The MAF sensor produces a frequency signal
which can be monitored using scan tool. The
frequency will vary within a range of around 2000 Hertz
at idle to about 10,000 Hertz at maximum engine
loc1.d; DTC P0102 will be $et if the signalJrequency
from the MAF sensor is lower than the possible range
of a normally operating MAF sensor.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The engine is running.


Throttle angle is less than 1.5 percent.
Ignition voltage is more than 8.0 volts.
lac is. more than 5 counts:

MAF signal frequency is less' than 800 Hertz.


Above conditions are present for over 0.5 seconds.

Action Taken When the OTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in
which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.
. The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the OTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure
Records ,data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
'been run and passed.
The History OTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycleshave occurred without a
malfunction.
The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following:
Plugged intake air duct or filter element. A wide-open
throttle acceleration from a stop should cause the
mass air flow displayed on a scan tool to increase from
about 4-6 gm/s at idle to 100 gm/s or more at the
time of the 1-2 shift. If not, inspect for a restriction.
Important: Remove any debris from the connector
surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display
on the scan tool while moving connectors

and wiring harnesses related to the sensor: A


change in the display may indicate the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.

Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for


clean and secure connections.
If the DTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Failure Records can be useful in determining
when the DTC was last set.

Circuit Description
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is a thermistor
which measures the temperature of the air entering
the engine. The PCM applies 5.0 V through a pull up
resistor. When the intake air is cold, the sensor
resistance is high and the PCM will monitor a high
signal voltage on the IAT sensor signal circuit. As the
intake air warm, the sensor resistance becomes
lower causing the PCM to monitor a lower voltage. If
the PCM detects an excessively low IAT sensor
signal voltage (high temperature indicated),
DTC P0112 will set.

Circuit Description
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is a thermistor
which measures the temperature of the air entering
the engine. The PCM applies 5.0V through a pull
up resistor. When the intake air is cold, the sensor
resistance is high and the PCM will monitor a
high signal voltage on the IAT sensor signal circuit. As
the intake air warm, the sensor resistance becomes
lower causing the PCM to monitor a lower voltage.
If the PCM detects an excessively high IAT sensor
signal voltage (low temperature indicated), OTC P0113
will set.

Circuit Description
To provide the best possible combination of
driveability, fuel economy, and emission control, a
closed loop air/fuel metering system is used. When the
vehicle is first started, the PCM controls fuel delivery
in open loop, ignoring the H02S signals and
calculating air/fuel ratio based on inputs from the
engine coolant temperature, throttle position, and mass
air flow sensors. The PCM will begin using the
H02S 1 signal for controlling fuel delivery {Closed
Loop). when the following conditions have been met:
The H02S output signal is varying, indicating
that the sensor is hot enough to operate properly.
.. The engine coolant temperature sensor indicates
coolant temperature more than 40C (104F)
with manual transmission vehicles or more than
20C(68F) with automatic transmission vehicles.
Time since start-up is at least 15 seconds
for a warm engine or 90 seconds for a cold
engine.
The PCM monitors the amount of time for the cooling
system to achieve closed loop operating temperature.
This diagnostic is broken into three temperature
regions. The diagnostic uses the ECT and IAT sensors
to determine which region to operate in. The time to
achieve closed loop temperature is monitored. A
time based decision is made depending on the
temperature region. The diagnostic will monitor the
following conditions prior to setting the DTC:
O Total airflow must exceed a calibrated amount.
" Engine idle time must be less than a calibrated
amount.

Region 1-air temperature more than 10C (50F)
and the start up coolant temperature more than
10C (50F).
Region 2-air temperature more than -7C (20F)

Circuit Description

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The PCM supplies a bias voltage of about 450 mV


between the H02S signal and low circuits. When
measured with a digital voltmeter, this may display as
low as 350 mV. The oxygen sensor varies the
voltage within a range of about 1000 mV when the
exhaust is rich, down through about 100 mV
when exhaust is lean. The PCM constantly monitors
the H02S signal during closed loop operation and ..
compensates for a rich or lean condition by decreasing
or increasing injector pulse width as necessary. If
the H02S voltage remains excessively low for
p.n extended period of time, this DTC will be set.

H02S signal voltage remains less than 175 mV during


normal closed loop operation
OR
H02S signal voltage remains less than 600 mV during
power enrichment.

Conditions for Running the DTC


No Misfire, CKP, Fuel injector, MAF, TP, EVAP,
IAT, MAP, Fuel trim, EGR or ECT DTCs are
present.
The vehicle is in closed loop.
The Air/Fuel Ratio is more than or equal to
14.5 but less than or equal to 14.8
Throttle angle is between 5 percent and
40 percent

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in
which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the OTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.
The History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Engine

Engine Controls - 3.8l

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following:
.. Throttle body inlet screen blockage
Low fuel pressure - The system will go lean if
pressure is too low. The PCM can compensate
for some decrease. However, if fuel pressure
is too low, a H02S OTC may set. Refer to Fuel
System Pressure Test.
Fuel injectors contaminated or faulty - Refer to
Fuel Injector Balance Test
" Exhaust leaks - An exhaust leak may cause
outside air to be pulled into the exhaust gas
stream past the. H02S, causing the system to
appear lean. Inspect for exhaust leaks that
may cause a false lean condition to be indicated.
~ Faulty MAF sensor - Disconnect the MAF sensor
and see if the lean condition is corrected. If so,
replace the MAF sensor.
.. Fuel contamination - Water, even in small
amounts, can be delivered to the fuel injectors.
The water can cause a lean exhaust to be
indicated. Excessive alcohol in the fuel can also
cause this condition. Refer to
Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis for
procedure to test for fuel contamination.

If none of the conditions are present, replace the


affected H02S.
If the OTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Fail Records can be useful in determining
when the OTC was last set.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to step numbers on the
diagnostic table:
3. This OTC failing during power enrichment
operation (TP angle above 60 percent) may
indicate a condition described in Diagnostic Aids.
If this OTC test passes while the Fail Records
conditions are being duplicated, an intermittent
condition is.indicated. Review the Fail Records
vehicle mileage since the diagnostic test last
failed. This may help determine how often
the condition that caused the OTC to be set
occurs .
6. This vehicle is equipped with a PCM which utilizes
an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only

Engine

Engine Controls - 3.8L

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following:
High fuel pressure - The system will go rich if
pressure is too high. The PCM can compensate
for some increase. However, if fuel pressure is too
high, a H02S OTC may set. Refer to Fuel
System Pressure Test.
Fuel injectors contaminated or faulty - Refer to
Fuel Injector Balance Test.
Inspect the EVAP Canister for Fuel Saturation. If
the EV AP Canister is full of fuel, inspect canister
control and hoses. Refer to EVAP Control
System Diagnosis.
Disconnect the MAF sensor and see if the rich
condition is corrected. If so, replace the MAF
sensor.
Inspect for a leaking fuel pressure regulator
diaphragm by inspecting the vacuum line to the
fuel pressure regulator for the presence of fuel.
An intermittent TP sensor output will cause
the system to go rich due to a false indication of
the engine accelerating.
Shorted H02S - If the H02S is internally shorted
the H02S voltage displayed on the scan tool will
be over 1 volt. Disconnect the affected H02S
and jumper the H02S low circuit to ground with
the key ON. If the displayed H02S voltage
changes from over 1000 mV to around 450 mV,
replace the H02S. Silicon contamination of
the H02S can also cause a high H02S voltage to
be indicated. This condition is indicated by a
powdery white deposit on the portion of the H02S
exposed to the exhaus.t stream. If contamination
is noticed, replace the affected H02S.

Open H02S Signal or Low Circuit or Faulty H02S


- A poor connection or open in the H02S signal
or low circuit can cause the OTC to set during
deceleration fuel mode. An H02S which is faulty
and not allowing a full voltage swing between
the rich and lean thresholds can also cause this
condition. Operate the vehicle while monitoring the
H02S voltage with a scan tool. If the H02S
voltage is limited within a range between 300mV
to 600mV, inspect the H02S signal and low
circuit wiring and associated terminal connections.
If the wiring and connections are OK, replace
the H02S.
If the OTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Fail Records can be useful in determining
when the OTC was last set.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to step numbers on the
diagnostic table:
3. This OTC failing during deceleration fuel mode
operation (vehicle speed above 25 mph, TP
angle below 3 percent) may indicate a condition
described in Diagnostic Aids. If this DTC test
passes while the Fail Records conditions are being
duplicated, an intermittent condition is indicated.
Review the Fail Records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test last failed. This may help
determine how often the condition that caused the
OTC to be set occurs.

Circuit Description

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The PCM continuously monitors the heated oxygen


sensor (H02S) activity, The PCM counts the number
of times that a rich to lean and a lean to rich
response is indicated. Then, the PCM adds the
amount of time it took to complete all transitions for a
100 second test period. With this information, an
average time for each transition can be determined. If
the average response time is too slow, this DTC
will set. A lean to rich transition is indicated when the
H02S voltage changes from less than 300 mV to
more than 600 mV. A rich to lean transition is indicated
when the H02S voltage changes from more than
600 mV to less than 300 mV. An H02S that responds
too slowly is likely to be faulty and should be
replaced.

H02S lean to rich average transition response time


was longer than 63 milliseconds. The rich to lean
average transition response time was longer than
190 milliseconds.

Circuit Descrir>,tion
The PCM supplies a bias voltage of about 450 mV
between the H02S signal and low circuits. When
measured with<a OMM, this may display as low as
320 tnV. The oxygen sensor varies the voltage within
a range of about1000 mV when the exhaust is
.
rich, down through about 10 mV when exhaust is lean.
The PCM constantly monitors the H02S signal
during closed loop operation and compensates for a
rich or lean condition by decreasing or. increasing
injector pulse width as necessary. If the H02S voltage
remains at or near the 450 mV bias for an extended
period of time, this OTC will be set, indicating an open
sensor signaLor sen~or.k>w circuit.

Condjtions for Running the OTC


No Misfire, CKP, Fuel injector, MAF, TP, EVAP,
IAT; MAP, Fuel trim, EGR orECT OTCs are
present.
Engine has been running for longer than
4 minutes.

Conditions for ;Setting the OTC


)

H02S signal voltage remains betwE;)en 400 mV


and500mV.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in
which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.

Circuit Description
Heated oxygen sensors are used to minimize the
amount of time required for closed loop fuel control
operation and to allow accurate catalyst monitoring.
The oxygen sensor heater greatly decreases the
amount of time required for fuel control sensors to
become active. An Oxygen sensor heater is also
required by catalyst monitor sensor to maintain a
sufficiently high temperature which allows accurate
exhaust oxygen content readings further from
the engine. The PCM will run the heater test only after
a cold start (determined by engine coolant and
intake air temperature at the time of startup) and only
once during an ignition cycle. When the engine is
started the-PCM will monitor the H02S voltage. When
the H02S voltage indicates a sufficiently active
sensor, the PCM looks at how much time has elapsed
since startup. If the PCM determines that too much
time was required for the H02S to become active, this
DTC will set. The time it should take the H02S to
reach operating temperature is based on the engine
coolant temperature at start-up and the average mass
air flow since startup (higher average airflow or
higher startup engine coolant temperature = shorter
time to H02S activity).

Conditions for Running the DTC


No Misfire, CKP, Fuel injector, MAF, TP, EVAP,
IAT, MAP, Fuel trim, EGR or ECT DTCs are
present.
Intake air temperature (IAT) is less than
35C (95F) at startup
O Engine coolant temperature (ECT) is less than
35C (95F) at startup.
IAT and ECT are within 6C (11 F) of each other
at start-up.
e

Average mass air flow for the sample period is


less than 20 g/s.
O

The system voltage is between 9 and 18 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


H02S voltage remains within 150 mV of the bias
voltage (about 450 mV) for a longer amount of time
than it should. The amount of time ranges between
42 seconds and 2 minutes.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in
which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.
.. The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

Engine

Engine Controls - 3.8L

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table:
2. The H02S should be allowed to cool before
performing this test. If the H02S heater is
functioning, the signal voltage will gradually
increase or decrease as the sensor element
warms. If the heater is not functioning, the H02S
signal will remain near the 450mv bias voltage.
4. This step ensures that the ignition feed circuit to
the H02S is not open or shorted. The test lamp
should be connected to a good ground, in case the
H02S low or H02S heater ground circuit is
faulty.
5. This step tests the H02S heater ground circuit.
6. This step checks for an open or shorted H02S
heater element. The heater element resistance
will vary according to H02S temperature (a
hot H02S heater element will measure a much
higher resistance .than a H02S heater element at
room temperature). It is important to allow the
H02S to cool before measuring H02S heater
element resistance.

Circuit Description

Conditions. for. Setting the DTC

To control emissions of Hydrocarbons (HC), Carbon


Monoxide (CO), and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), a
three-way catalytic converter is used. The catalyst
within the converter promotes a chemical reaction
which oxidizes the HC and CO present in the exhaust
gas, converting them into harmless water vapor
and carbon dioxide. The catalyst also reduces NOx,
converting it to nitrogen. The PCM has the ability
to monitor this process using the post-catalyst H02S.
This H02S produces an output signal which
indicates the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst;
this in turn indicates the catalysts ability to convert
exhaust gases efficiently. If the post H02S signal
voltage remains excessively low for an extended
period of time, this DTC will set.

Post H02S signal voltage remains less than 60 mV


during normajdosed loop operation.
OR
Post H02S signal voltage remains less than 600 mV
during power enrichment mode.

Conditions for Running the DTC


No Misfire, Transmission, Fuel injector, MAF, TP,
EVAP, IAT, MAP, Fuel trim, EGR or ECT DTCs
are present.
" Closed loop commanded air/fuel ratio is
between 14.5 - 14.8.
" Throttle angle is between 5 percent and
40 percent.
O

The engine coolant temperature is more than


75C (165F).

Action Taken. When the DTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in
which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.
The History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Engine

Engine Controls - 3.8L

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following:
.. Fuel pressure low - A condition which causes a
lean exhaust can cause this OTC to set. The
system will go lean if pressure is too low.
The PCM can compensate for some decrease.
However, if fuel pressure is too low, this OTC may
set. Refer to Fuel System Pressure Test.
~ Fuel injectors faulty - Refer to Fuel Injector
Balance Test.
O Vacuum leaks - Inspect for a disconnected or
damaged vacuum hoses and for vacuum leaks at
the intake manifold, throttle body, EGR system,
and crankcase ventilation system.
Exhaust leaks - An exhaust leak may cause
outside air to be pulled into the exhaust gas
stream past the H02S, causing this OTC to set.
Inspect for exhaust leaks near the oxygen
sensors.
., MAF sensor faulty - Disconnect the MAF sensor
and see if the condition is corrected. If so,
replace MAF sensor.
Fuel contamination - Water, even in small
amounts, can be delivered to the fuel injectors.
The water can cause a lean exhaust to be
indicated. Excessive alcohol in the fuel can also
cause this condition. Refer to
Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis.
Important: Remove any debris from the connector
surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.

Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display
on the scan tool while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A
change in the display may indicate the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for
clean and secure connections.
If the OTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Failure Records can be useful in determining
when the OTC was last set.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table:
3. This OTC setting during power enrichment mode
conditions may indicate a condition described in
the Diagnostic Aids above. If this OTC test passes
while the Fail Records conditions are being
duplicated, an intermittent condition is indicated.
Review the Fail Records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test last failed. This may help
determine how often the condition that caused the
OTC to be set occurs.
7. This vehicle is equipped with a PCM which utilizes
an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only
Memory (EEPROM). When the PCM is replaced,
the new PCM must be programmed.

Circuit Description

Conditions for Setting the DTC .

To control emissions of Hydrocarbons (HC), Carbon


Monoxide (CO), and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), a
three-way catalytic converter is used. The catalyst
within the converter promotes a chemical reaction
which oxidizes the HC and CO present in the exhaust
gas, converting them into harmless water vapor
and carbon dioxide. The catalyst also reduces NOx,
converting it to nitrogen. The PCM has the ability
to monitor this process using the post-catalyst H02S.
This sensor produces an output signal which
indicates the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst;
this in turn indicates the catalysts ability to convert
exhaust gases efficiently. If the post H02S voltage
remains excessively high for an extended period
of time, this OTC will set.

Post H02S signal voltage remains more than 999 mV


during normal closed loop operation.
OR
Post H02S signal voltage remains more than 200 mV
during deceleration fuel mode operation.

Conditions for Running the DTC


No Misfire, CKP, Fuel injector, MAF, TP, EVAP,
IAT, MAP, Fuel trim, EGR or ECT OTCs are set.
Closed loop with commanded Air/Fuel ratio
between 14.5 and 14.8.
The throttle position is between 5 percent and
40 percent.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


0

The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator


lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in
which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the OTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC


The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.
The History OTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
The OTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Engine
Diagnostic Aids

Inspect for the following:


Fuel pressure high - An excessively rich fuel
mixture can cause this DTC to set. Refer to Fuel
System Pressure Test
Fuel injectors faulty - Refer to Fuel Injector
Balance Test
Inspect the EVAP Canister for Fuel Saturation. If
the EVAP Canister is full of fuel, inspect canister
control and hoses. Refer to EVAP Control
System Diagnosis
Disconnect the MAF sensor and see if the rich
condition is corrected. If so, replace the MAF
sensor. Refer to MAF Sensor Replacement
Inspect for a leaking fuel pressure regulator
diaphragm by inspecting the vacuum line to the
fuel pressure regulator for the presence of fuel.
An intermittent TP sensor output will cause
the system to go rich, due to a false indication of
the engine accelerating.
Shorted H02S "CC. If the H02S is internally shorted
the H02S voltage displayed on the scan tool will
be over 1 volt. Try disconnecting the affected
H02S and jumper the H02S low circuit to ground
with the key ON. If the displayed H02S voltage
changes from over 1OOOmV to around 450mV,
replace the H02S. Silicon contamination of
the H02S can also cause a high H02S voltage to
be indicated. This condition is. indicated by a
powdery white deposit on the portion of the H02S
exposed to the exhaust stream. If contamination
is evident, replace the affected H02S. Refer
to Heated Oxygen Sensor (H02S) Replacement
Open H02S Signal or Low Circuit or Faulty H02S
- A poor connection or open in the H02S signal
or low circuit can cause the OTC to set during
deceleration fuel mode. An H02S which is faulty
and not allowing a full voltage swing between
the rich and lean thresholds can also cause this
condition. Operate the. vehicle while monitoring the
H02S voltage with a scan tool. If the H02S
voltage is limited within a range between 300mV
to 600mV, inspect the H02S signal and low
circuit wiring and associated terminal connections.
If the wiring and connections are OK, replace
the H02S. Refer to Heated Oxygen Sensor
(H02S) Replacement

Engine Controls - 3.8L

Important: Remove any debris from the connector


surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display
on the scan tool while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A
change in the display may indicate the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for
clean and secure connections.
If the OTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Failure Records can be useful in determining
when the OTC was last set.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table:
3. This OTC setting during deceleration fuel mode
operation may indicate a condition described
in the Diagnostic Aids above. If this OTC
test passes while the Fail Records conditions are
being duplicated, an intermittent condition is
indicated. Review the Fail Records vehicle
mileage since the diagnostic test last failed. This
may help determine how often the condition
that caused the OTC to be set occurs.
7. This vehicle is equipped with a PCM which utilizes
an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only
Memory (EEPROM). When the PCM is replaced,
the new PCM must be programmed.

Circuit Description
Heated oxygen sensors are used to minimize the
amount of time required for closed loop fuel control
operation and to allow accurate catalyst monitoring.
The oxygen sensor heater greatly decreases the
amount of time required for the pre-catalyst oxygen
sensors to become active. An oxygen sensor heater is
required by catalyst monitor sensor to maintain a
sufficiently high temperature which allows accurate
exhaust oxygen content readings further from
the engine. The PCM will run the heater test only after
a cold start (determined by engine coolant and
intake air temperature at the time of startup) and only
once during an ignition cycle. When the engine is
started the PCM will monitor the H02S voltage. When
the post H02S voltage indicates a sufficiently active
sensor, the PCM looks at how much time has elapsed
since startup. If the PCM determines that too much
time was required for the post H02S to become active,
this OTC will set. The time it should take the H02S
to reach operating temperature is based on the engine
coolant temperature at start-up and the average
Mass Air Flow since startup (higher average airflow or
higher startup engine coolant temperature = shorter
time to H02S activity).

Conditions for Running ttie DTC


No Misfire, CKP, Fuel injector, MAF, TP, EVAP,
IAT, MAP, Fuel. trim, EGR or ECT OTCs.
System voltage is between 9 and 18 volts.
Intake air temperature (IAT) is less than
35C (95F) at startup
.
" Engine coolant temperature (ECT) is less than
35C (95F) at startup.
IAT and EC.Tare within 6C (11 F) of each other
at start~up.

" The average mass air flow for the sample period
is less than 22.Tgm/s.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


Post H02S voltage remains within 150 mV of the
bias voltage (aboutA50;mV).
The.amount of time depends on engine coolant
temperature atstartup and the average air flow
since startup.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) during the second cohsecutive trip in
which the diagnostic test has been run and failed .
.. The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the OTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

Engine

Engine Controls - 3.8L

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC


The PCM will turn the MIL .OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.
The History OTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
The OTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following:
Important: Remove any debris from the connector
surfaces before servicing a component Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display
on the scan tool while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A
change in the display may indicate the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for
clean and secure connections.
If the DTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Failure Records can be useful in aetermining
when the OTC was last set.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table:
2. The H02S should be allowed to cool before
performing this test. If the H02S heater is
functioning, the signal voltage will gradually
increase or decrease as the sensor element
warms. If the heater is. not functioning, the H02S
signal will remain near the 450mV bias voltage.
4. This step ensures that the. ignition feed circuit to
the H02S is not open or shorted. The test lamp
should be connected to a good chassis ground, in
case the H02S low or H02S heater ground
circuit is faulty.
5. This step tests the H02S heater ground circuit.
6. This step tests for an open or shorted H02S
heater element. The heater element resistance will
vary according to H02S temperature (a hot
H02S heater element will measure a much higher
resistance than a H02S heater element at
room temperature). It is important to allow the
H02S to cool before measuring H02S heater
element resistance.
11. An open H02S' signal or low circuit can cause the
H02S heater to appear faulty. inspect these
circuits before replacing the sensor.

Circuit Description

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The PCM supplies a bias voltage of about 450 mV


between the H02S signal and low circuits. When
measured with a OMM, this may display as low as
350 mV. The oxygen sensor varies the voltage within
a range of about 1000 mV when the exhaust is
rich, .down through about 100 mV when exhaust. is
lean. The PCM constantly monitors the H02S signal
during closed loop operation and compensates for
a rich or lean condition by decreasing or increasing
injector pulse width as necessary. If the HO~S voltage
remains excessively low for an extended penod of
time, this OTC will be set.

H02S signal voltage remains less than 175. mV during


normal closed loop operation
OR
H02S signal voltage remains less than 6000 mV
during power enrichment.

Conditions for Running the DTC


No Misfire, CKP, Fuel injector, MAF, TP, EVAP,
IAT, MAP, Fuel trim, EGR or ECT OTCs are
present.
The vehicle is in closed loop.
The Air/Fuel Ratio is more than or equal to
14.5 but less than or equal to 14.8
Throttle angle is between 5 percent and
40 percent

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip. in
which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.
" The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the OTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.
.. The History OTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
" The OTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Engine

Engine Controls - 3.8L

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following:
Throttle body inlet screen blockage
Low fuel pressure - The system will go lean if
pressure is too low. The PCM can compensate
for some decrease. However, if fuel pressure
is too low, a H02S DTC may set. Refer to Fuel
System Pressure Test.
Fuel injectors contaminated or faulty - Refer to
Fuel Injector Balance Test
Exhaust leaks - An exhaust leak may cause
outside air to be pulled into the exhaust gas
stream past the H02S, causing the system to
appear lean. Inspect for exhaust leaks that
may cause a false lean condition to be indicated.
Faulty MAF sensor - Disconnect the MAF sensor
and see if the lean condition is corrected. If so,
replace the MAF sensor.
Fuel contamination - Water, even in small
amounts, can be delivered to the fuel injectors.
The water can cause a lean exhaust to be
indicated. Excessive alcohol in the fuel can also
cause this condition. Refer to
Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis for
procedure to test for fuel contamination.

If none of the above conditions are present, replace


the affected H02S.
If the DTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Fail Records can be useful in determining
when the DTC was last set.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to step numbers on the
diagnostic table:
3. This DTC failing during power enrichment
operation (TP angle above 60 percent) may
indicate a condition described in Diagnostic Aids.
If this DTC test passes while the Fail Records
conditions are being duplicated, an intermittent
condition is indicated. Review the Fail Records
vehicle mileage since the diagnostic test last
failed. This may help determine how often
the condition that caused the DTC to be set
occurs.
6. This vehicle is equipped with a PCM which utilizes
an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only
Memory (EEPROM). When the PCM is replaced,
the new PCM must be programmed.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following:
High fuel pressure - The system will go rich if
pressure is too high. The PCM can compensate
for some increase. However, if fuel pressure is too
high, a H02S OTC may set. Refer to Fuel
System Pressure Test.
Fuel injectors contaminated or faulty - Refer to
Fuel Injector Balance Test.
Inspect the EVAP Canister for Fuel Saturation. If
the EVAP Canister is full of fuel, inspect canister
control and hoses. Refer to EVAP Control
System Diagnosis.
Disconnect the MAF sensor and see if the rich
condition is corrected. If so, replace the MAF
sensor.
Inspect for a leaking fuel pressure regulator
diaphragm by inspecting the vacuum line to the
fuel pressure regulator for the presence of fuel.
An intermittent TP sensor output will cause
the system to go rich due to a false indication of
the engine accelerating.
Shorted H02S - If the H02S is internally shorted
the H02S voltage displayed on the scan tool will
be over 1 volt. Disconnect the affected H02S
and jumper the H02S low circuit to ground with
the key ON. If the displayed H02S voltage
changes from over 1000 mV to around 450 mV,
replace the H02S. Silicon contamination of
the H02S can also cause a high H02S voltage to
be indicated. This condition is indicated by a
powdery white deposit on the portion of the H02S
exposed to the exhaust stream. If contamination
is noticed, replace the affected H02S.

Open H02S Signal or Low Circuit or Faulty H028


- A poor connection or open in the H02S signal
or low circuit can cause the OTC to set during
deceleration fuel mode. An H02S which is faulty
and not allowing a full voltage swing between
the rich and lean thresholds can also cause this
condition. Operate the vehicle while monitoring the
H02S voltage with a scan tool. If the H02S
voltage is limited within a range between 300mV
to 600mV, inspect the H02S signal and low
circuit wiring and associated terminal connections.
If the wiring and connections are OK, replace
the H02S.
If the DTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Fail Records can be useful in determining
when the OTC was last set.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to step numbers on the .
diagnostic table:
3. This OTC failing during deceleration fuel mode
operation (vehicle speed above 25 mph, TP
angle below 3 percent) may indicate a condition
described in Diagnostic Aids. If this OTC test
passes while the Fail Records conditions are being
duplicated, an intermittent condition is indicated. .
Review the Fail Records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test last failed. This may help
determine how often the condition that caused the
OTC to be set occurs.
7. This vehicle is equipped with a PCM which utilizes
anElectrically Erasable Programmable Read Only

Circuit Description

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The PCM continuously monitors the heated oxygen


sensor (H02S) activity. The PCM counts the number
of times that a rich to lean and a lean to rich
response is indicated. Then, the PCM adds the
amount of time it took to complete all transitions for a
100 second test period. With this information, an
average time for each transition can be determined. If
the average response time is too slow, a DTC P0133
will be set. A lean to rich transition is indicated
when the H02S voltage changes from less than
300 mV to more than 600 mV. A rich to lean transition
is indicated when the H02S voltage changes from
more than 600 mV to less than 300 mV. An H02S that
responds too slowly is likely to be faulty and should
be replaced.

H02S lean to rich average transition response time


was longer than 63 milliseconds. The rich to lean
average transition response time was longer than
190 milliseconds.

Circuit Description

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The PCM supplies a bias voltage of about 450 mV


between the H02S signal and low circuits. When
measured with a OMM, this may display as low as
320 mV. The oxygen sensor varies the voltage within
a range of about 1000 mV when the exhaust is
rich, i:lown through about 10 mV when exhaust is lean.
The PCM constantly monitors the H02S signal
during closed loop operation and compensates for a
rich or lean condition by decreasing or increasing
injector pulse width as necessary. If the H02S voltage
remains at or near the 450 mV bias for an extended
perioi:l of time, this OTC will be set, indicating an open
sensor signal or sensor low circuit.

H02S signal voltage remains between 400 mV


and 500 mV.

Conditions for Running the DTC


No Misfire, CKP, Fuel injector, MAF, TP, EVAP,
IAT, MAP, Fuel trim, EGR or ECT OTCs are
present.
Engine has been running for longer than
4 minutes.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in
which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.
. 0 The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the OTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


" The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.
" The History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
O The OTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following:
Faulty H02S heater or heater circuit - With the
ignition ON the H02S voltage displayed on a scan
tool should gradually drop to less than 250 mV or rise
to more than 600 mV. If not, disconnect the H02S
and connect a test lamp between the H02S ignition
feed and heater ground circuits. If the test lamp
does not illuminate, repair the open ignition feed or
sensor ground circuit as necessary. Refer to
Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. If the test lamp
illuminates and the H02S signal and low circuits are
OK, replace the H02S.
Important: Remove any debris from the connector
surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
.. Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display
on the scan tool while moving connectors

and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A


change in the display may indicate the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for
clean and secure connections.
If the DTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Failure Records can be useful in determining
when the OTC was last set.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the

Circuit Description
Heated oxygen sensors are used to minimize the
amount of time required for closed loop fuel control
operation and to allow accurate catalyst monitoring.
The oxygen sensor heater greatly decreases the
amount of time required for fuel control sensors to
become active. An Oxygen sensor heater is also
required by catalyst monitor H02S to maintain a
sufficiently high temperature which allows accurate
exhaust oxygen content readings further from the
engine. The PCM. will run the heater test only after a
cold start (determined by engine coolant and intake
air temperature at the time of startup) and only
once during an ignition cycle. When the engine is
started the PCM will monitor the H02S voltage. When
the H02S voltage indicates a sufficiently active
sensor, the PCM looks at how much time has elapsed
since startup. If the PCM determines that too much
time was required for the H02S to become active, this
OTC will set. The time it should take the H02S to
reach operating temperature is based on the engine
coolant temperature .at start-up and the average mass
air flow since startup (higher average airflow or
higher startup engine coolant temperature = shorter
time to H02S activity).

Conditions for Running the OTC


No Misfire, CKP, Fuel injector, MAF, TP, EVAP,
IAT, MAP, Fuel trim, EGR or ECT OTCs are
present.
Intake air temperature (IAT) is less than
35C (95F) at startup
" Engine coolant temperature (ECT) is less than
35C (95F) at startup.
IAT and ECT are within 6C (1 iF) of each other
at start-up.
Average mass air flow for the sample period is
less than 20 g/s.
.. The system voltage is between 9 and 18 volts.

Conditions for Setting the OTC


H02S voltage remains within 150 mV of the bias
voltage (about 450 mV) for a longer amount of time
than it should. The amount of time ranges between
42 seconds and 2 minutes.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


" The PCM will illuminate the. malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in
which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.
" The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the OTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

Engine

Engine Controls - 3.8L

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.
The History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following:

Important: Remove any debris from the connector


surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing. or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, impropermating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
O Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display
on the scan tool while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A
change in the display may indi.cate the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for
clean and secure connections.
If the DTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Failure Records can be useful in determining
when the DTC was last set.

6-923

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table:
2. The H02S should be allowed to cool before
performing this test. If the H02S heater is
functioning, the signal voltage will gradually
increase or decrease as the sensor element
warms. If the heater is not functioning, the H02S
signal will remain near the 450 mv bias voltage.
4. This step ensures that the ignition feed circuit to
the H02S is not open or shorted. The test lamp
should be connected to a good ground, in case the
H02S low or H02S heater ground circuit is
faulty.
5. This step tests the H02S heater ground circuit.
6. This step checks for an open or shorted H02S
heater element. The heater element resistance
will vary according to H02S temperature (a
hot H02S heater element will measure a. much
higher resistance than a H02S heater element at
room temperature). It is important to allow the
H02S to cool before measuring H02S heater
element resistance.

DTC P0171 Fuel Trim System lean Bank 1


Circuit Description
To provide the best possible combination of
driveability, fuel economy, and emission control, a
closed loop air/fuel metering system is used. While in
closed loop, the PCM monitors the pre-catalyst
H02S signals and adjusts fuel delivery based upon
thesevoltages. A change made to fuel delivery will be
indicated. by the long and short term fuel trim values
which .can be monitored with a scan tooL Ideal fuel trim
values. are around O percent; .if the H02S. signals
are indicating a lea.n condition the PCM will add fuel,
resulting in fuel trim values more than O percent. If
a rich condit.ion is detected, the fuel trim values will be
less than O percent, indicating that the PCM is
reducing the amount of fuel delivered: If an excessively
lean condition is detected, the PCM will set.this
OTC. The. PCM s maximum authority to control long
term fuel trim allows a range between -20 percent and
+20 percent. The PCM s maximum authority to
control short term fuel trim allows a range between
-20 percent and+2Q percent. The PCM monitors fuel
trim under various operating conditions (fuel trim
cells) before determining the status of the fuel trim
diagnostic. The fuel trim cells are as follows:
.).

Purge OFF

Cell

Purge ON

. Idle (Cell 0)

Decel (Cell 1)

Accel (Cell 3)

x
x

x
x

High Flow (Cell4)

Normal (Gell 2)

.-

The vehicle may have to be operated in an ofthe


above conditions (marked with X) before the PCM
determlnes fuel trim status.The amount of fuel
trim deviates from O percent in each cell and the
amount that each cell is used directly affects whether
or not the vehicle must be operated in all of the
cells described above to complete the diagnostic.
Important: Some. conditions can cause multiple cells
to indicate lean.

Below are sonie examples of why each eel.I could


indicate a lean condition in each cell.
Idle (Purge ON) - An EVAP system leak, manifold
vacuum leak, severe' lack of fuelsupply, fuel
contamination or an exhaust leak.
Id.le (Purge OFF) - A ~anifoJd vacuum Jea:k,
severe lack of fuel supply, fuel contamination or an
exhaust leak.

Decel (Purge ON) - An EVAP system leak,.


manifold vacuum leak, fuel contamination or an
exhaust leak.
Decel (Purge OFF) - A manifold vacuum leak, fuel
contamination or an exhaust leak.

" Normal (Purge ON or OFF) - A lack of fuel supply,


fuel contamination or an exhaust leak.
Acee! (Purge ON or OFF) - A lack of fuel supply,
fuel contamination or a:n exhaust leak;
" High FloVI( (Purge ON or OFF) - A lack of .fuel
supply, fUel contamination or an exhaust leak.
Below are some reasons for a lack of fuel supply.
A faulty or restricted fuel injector.
. A restricted fuel line.
A faulty or restricted fuel pump.
A faulty or restricted fuel regulator.
A restricted .fuel filter.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following:
Fuel pressure/flow low - The system will go lean
and add fuel during high fuel demand. The
Accel and the High Flow cells will increase to
more than O percent if this condition is present.
The PCM can compensate for some dec.rease.
However, if fuel pressure is too low, both
DTC P0171 and P0174 may be set. Refer to Fuel
System Pressure Test.
Fuel injectors faulty - The system will go lean and
add fuel if a fuel injector is not suppling enough
fuel. All cells could increase to more than
O percent depending on the severity of the
problem. In most cases high fuel demand cells
such as Accel and High Flow will be more likely to
show the problem. Refer to Fuel Injector
Balance Test.
Vacuum leaks - Inspect for disconnected or
damaged vacuum hoses and for vacuum leaks at
the intake manifold, throttle body, EGR system
and crankcase ventilation system. The Idle
cells (Purge ON or OFF) will increase to more
than O percent if this condition is present.
EVAP system leaks - Inspect for disconnected or
damaged EVAP lines and hoses. The Idle cell
with (purge ON) will increase to more than
O percent if this condition is present.
Exhaust leaks - An exhaust leak may cause
outside air to be pulled into the exhaust gas
stream past the H02S, causing the system to
appear lean. Inspect for exhaust leaks that
may cause a false lean condition to be indicated.
All cells could increase to more than O percent
depending on the severity of the problem.
Fuel contamination - Water, even in small
amounts, can be delivered to the fuel injectors.
The water can cause a lean exhaust to be
indicated. Excessive alcohol in the fuel can also
cause this condition. Refer to
Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis. All cells
could increase to more than O percent depending
on the severity of the problem.
Important: Remove any debris from the connector
surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and

faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a


corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display
on the scan tool while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A
change in the display may indicate the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for
clean and secure connections.
If the DTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Failure Records can be useful in determining
when the DTC was last set.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. This step determines whether the fault is present.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or a
component harness connector, use the Connector
Test Adapter Kit. Using this kit prevents damage
to the harness connector terminals.
3. Using the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records
data may aid in locating an intermittent condition.
If you cannot duplicate the DTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data can help determine how many miles
since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass
Counter can also help determine how many
ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass
and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the same
freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle
speed, temperature etc.) that you observed. This
will isolate when the OTC failed. For an
intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.
4. If both lean DTCs are set, both banks of the
engine are operating lean. Inspect the items that
would cause both banks to operate lean.
5. A vacuum leak causes DTCs P0171 and P0174 to
set at the same time. Inspect all areas of the
engine for a vacuum leak. Also inspect the PCV
.valve for being thecorrect one for this application.
Make sure the engine oil fill cap is in place and
that it is tight. Insure the engine oil dip stick is fully
seated.

Circuit Description
To provide the best possible combination of

closed loop air/fuel metering system is used. While in
closed loop, the PCM monitors the pre-catalyst
H02S signals and adjusts fuel delivery based upon
these voltages. A change made to fuel delivery will be
indicated by the long and short term fuel trim values
which can be monitored with a scan tool. Ideal fuel trim
values are around O percent; if the H02S signals
are indicating a lean condition the PCM will add fuel,
resulting in fuel trim values more than O percent. If
a rich condition is detected, the fuel trim values will be
less than O percent, indicating that the PCM is
reducing the amount of fuel delivered. If an excessively

DTC P0174 Fuel Trim System lean Bank 2


Circuit Description
To provide the best possible combination of
driveability, fuel economy, and emission control, a
closed loop air/fuel metering system is used. While in
closed loop, the PCM monitors the pre-catalyst
H02S signals and adjusts fuel delivery based upon
these Voltages. A change made to fuel delivery will be
indicated by the long and short termfuel trim values
which can be monitored with a scan tool. Ideal fuel trim
values are around O percent; if the H02S signals
are indicating a lean condition the PCM will add fuel,
resulting in fuel trim values more than O percent. If
a rich condition is detected, the fuel trim values will be
less than O percent, indicating that the PCM is .
reducing the amount of fuel delivered. If an excessively
lean condition is detected, the PCM will set this
DTC. The PCM s maximum authority to control long
term fuel trim allows a range between -20 percent and
+20 percent. The PCM s maximum authority to
control short term fuel trim allows a range between
-20 percent and +20 percent. The PCM monitors fuel
trim under various operating conditions (fuel trim
cells) before c::letermining the status of the fuel trim
diagnostic. The fuel trim cells are as follows:

Cell
Idle (Cell 0)
becel (Cell 1)
.Norn;ial (Cell 2)

...

Acee! (Cell 3)
High Flow (Cell4)

Purge ON

Purge OFF

x
x
-

x
x
x

The vehic.le may have to be operated in all of the


above conditions (marked with X) before the PCM
determines fuel trim status. The amount of fuel
trirndevia,te~from .0 percent in each cell and the
amount that each cell is used directly affects whether
or not the vehicle must be operated in all of the
cells described' above to complete the diagnostic.
Important: .So.me conditions can cause multiple cells
to indicate lean.
Below are some examples of why each cell could
indicate a lean condition in each cell.
Id.le (P.urgeON) - An E.VAP system leak, manifold
vacuum foak, severe lack of fuel supply, fuel
contamination or an exhaust leak.
" .Idle (Purge OFF) - A manifold vacuum leak,
severe.lack of fuel supply, fuel contamination or an
exhaust leak.
" Decel (Purge ON) - An EVAP system leak,
manifold vacuum leak, fuel contamination or an
exhaust leak.
Decel (Purge OFF) - A manifold vacuum leak, fuel
contamination or an exhaust leak.

" Normal (Purge ON or OFF) - A lack of fuel supply,


fuel contamination or an exhaustleak;
., Accel (Purge ON or OFF) - A lack of fuel supply,
fuel contamination or an exhaust leak.

" High Flow (Purge ON or OFF) - A lack of fuel


supply, fuel contamination or an exhaust leak.
Below are some reasons for a lack of fuel supply.
" A faulty or restricted fuel injector
O A restricted fuel line
" A faulty or .restricted fuel pump
O
A faulty or restricted fuel regulator

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following:
Fuel pressure/flow low - The system will go lean
and add fuel during high fuel demand. The
Accel and the High Flow cells will increase to
more than O percent if this condition is present.
The PCM can compensate for some decrease.
However, if fuel pressure is too low, both
OTC P0171 and P0174 may be set. Refer to Fuel
System Pressure Test.
Fuel injectors faulty - The system will go lean and
add fuel if a fuel injector is not suppling enough
fuel. All cells could increase to more than
O percent depending on the severity of the
problem. In most cases high fuel demand. cells
such as Accel and High Flow will be more likely to
show the problem. Refer to Fuel Injector
Balance Test.
Vacuum leaks - Inspect for disconnected or
damaged vacuum hoses and for vacuum leaks at
the intake manifold, throttle body, EGR system
and crankcase ventilation system. The Idle
cells (Purge ON or OFF) will increase to more
than O percent if this condition is present.
EVAP system leaks - Inspect for disconnected or
damaged EV AP lines and hoses. The Idle cell
with (purge ON) will increase to more than
O percent if this condition is present.
Exhaust leaks - An exhaust leak may cause
outside air to be pulled into the exhaust gas
stream past the H02S, causing the system to
appear lean. Inspect for exhaust leaks that
may cause a false lean condition to be indicated.
All cells could increase to more than O percent
depending on the severity of the problem.
Fuel contamination - Water, even in small
amounts, can be delivered to the fuel injectors.
The water can cause a lean exhaust to be
indicated. Excessive alcohol in the fuel can also
cause this condition. Refer to
Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis. All cells
could increase to more than O percent depending
on the severity of the problem.

Important: Remove any debris from the connector


surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and

faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a


corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor

Circuit Description

Diagnostic Aids

The PCM controls the fuel injector control circuit using


a Multi Function Driver (MFD). The MFD has the
ability to detect an electrical malfunction. If an electrical
malfunction is detected, the MFD signals the PCM
to set this DTC.

Monitor the injector fault parameter ih the scan tool.


Move the ele.ctrical harnesses for the effected electrical
circuit. If the status changes on the scar:i tool, that
may be an indicator where a:n intermittent fault rnay be
located:
Inspect for the following:

Conditions for Running the OTC


The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


An incorrect voltage level is being detected on the
injector driver circuit.
Above condition for over 30 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in
which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.
The History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Important: Remove any debris from the connec1or


surfaces before servidng a. component, Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contah)inate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding .mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display
on the scan tool while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A
change in the display may indicate the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for
clean and secure connections.
If the DTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Failure Records can be useful in determining
when the DTC was last set.

Circuit Description

Diagnostic Aids

The PCM controls the fuel injector control circuit using


a Multi Function Driver (MFD). The MFD has the
ability to detect an electrical malfunction. If an electrical
malfunction is detected, the MFD signals the PCM
to set this OTC.

Monitor the injector fault parameter in the scan tool.


Move the electrical harnesses for the effected electrical
circuit. If the status changes on the scan tool, that
may be an indicator where an intermittent fault may be
located.
Inspect for the following:

') Conditions for Running the DTC


The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


An incorrect voltage level is being detected on the
injector driver circuit.
Above condition for over 30 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in
which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the OTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.
The History OTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
The OTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Important: Remove any debris from the connector


surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display
on the scan tool while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A
change in the display may indicate the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for
clean and secure connections.
If the OTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Failure Records can be useful in determining
when the OTC was last set.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table:
4. If the scan tool indicates STUCK HIGH there is a
short to battery positive voltage on the fuel
injector control circuit.
5. If the scan tool indicates STUCK LOW there is an
open or a short to ground on the fuel injector
control circuit.

6. If the scan tool indicates a STUCK HIGH while


cranking, the short to battery positive voltage
is between the injector connector and the PCM. If
the scan tool indicates STUCK LOW while
cranking the problem is within the injector.

9. This step is testing for a shortto ground in the


circuit.
10. The fuel injector in this circuit will need to be
tested after the short to ground is repaired or after
the PCM is replaced.

11. This step is testing the function of the PCM. If the


test lamp flashes then the PCM is able to supply
the ground.
13. This step will find a open between the splice and
the injector.
16. This vehicle is equipped with a PCM which utilizes
an Electronically Erasable Programmable Read

Circuit Description
The PCM provides ignition positive voltage to control
the fuel pump relay. The PCM has the ability to
detect an electrical malfunction on the relay control
circuit When the ignition switch is first turned ON, the
PCM energizes the fuel pump relay which applies
power to the fuel pump. The fuel pump relay will
remain ON as long as the engine is running or
cranking and the PCM is receiving reference pulses. If
no reference pulses are present, the PCM
de-energizes the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds
after the ignition is turned ON or the engine is stopped.
With the engine stopped, the fuel pump can be
turned ON by using the scan tool output controls
function. If an electrical malfunction is detected, the
PCM will set OTC P0230.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The ignition is ON.
System voltage is between 9 and 18 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The PCM detects an electrical malfunction on the
fuel pump relay control circuit.
The condition is present for more than 30 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will not illuminate the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL).
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the OTC set as Failure Records data only.
This information will not be stored as Freeze

DTC P0300 Engine Misfire Detected


Circuit Description
The PCM has the ability to detect a misfire by
monitoring the 3X reference and camshaft position
input signals from the ignition control module.
The PCM monitors crankshaft speed variations
(reference period differences) to determine if a misfire
is occurring. If 2 percent or more of all cylinder
firing events are misfires, emission levels may exceed
mandated standards. The PCM determines misfire
level based on the number of misfire events monitored
during a 200 engine revolution test sample. The
PCM continuously tracks 16 consecutive
200 revolution test samples. If 11 or more misfires are
detected during any 10 of the 16 samples, DTC P0300
will set. If the misfire is large enough to cause
possible three-way catalytic converter damage,
DTC P0300 may set during the first 200 revolution
sample in which the misfire was detected. In the case
of a catalyst damaging misfire, .the MIL will flash to
alert the vehicle operator of the potential of catalyst
damage.

Conditions for Running the DTC


" No VSS, CKP, TP, MAP, ECT, CAM or MAF
DTCs are set.
Engine has been running for more than 5 seconds.
., Engine speed between 550 and 5800 RPM.
System voltage between 9 and 18 volts.
.. The ECT sensor indicates a temperature between
-6C (21F) and 120C (248F).
.. Fuel cutoff is not active.
" Fuel level is more than 10 percent.
.. Throttle angle is steady.

Conditions for Setting the OTC


The PCM detects a crankshaft RPM variation
indicating a misfire sufficient to cause three-way
catalytic converter damage or emissions levels that
exceed the mandated standard.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.
The History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have .occurred without a
malfunction.
The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
The scan tool provides information that can be useful
in identifying the misfiring cylinder. If the DTC P0300
is currently stored as DTC status Failed Since
Code Clear, the misfire history counters .(Misfire
History Cyl #1 - #6) will still contain a value that
represents the. level of misfire detected on each
cylinder. The scan tool displayed misfire counter
values (Misfire History Cyl. #1 through #6) can
be useful in determining whether the misfire affects a
single cylinder, a cylinder pair (cylinders that share
an ignition coil - 1/4, 2/5, 3/6), or is random. If.
the largest amount of activity is isolated to a cylinder
pair, inspect for the following:
Secondary ignition wires.
Inspect the secondary wires associated with the
affected cylinder pair for disconnected ignition
wires or for excessive resistance. The wires
should measure less than 30,000 ohms
(30K ohms) .
Damaged or malfunctioning ignition co.ii.
Inspect for cracks, carbon tracking or other
damage. Also test coil secondary resistance.
Secondary resistance should be between
5000 ohms and 8000 ohms (5K ohms and
8K ohms).
Substitute a known good coil.
Switch ignition coils and retest. If the misfire
foHows the coil, replace the ignition coil. .

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate the MIL during the
second consecutive trip in which the diagnostic
has been run and failed unless three way
converter damage is possible in which case the
light will illuminate after the first failure.
" If equipped with traction control, the PCM will
command the EBTCM via the serial data circuit to
turn OFF traction control, and the EBTCM will
illuminate the TRACTION OFF lamp.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC set as Freeze Frame .and Failure
Records data'.

Engine

If the misfire is random, inspect for the following


conditions:
Crankshaft Position System Variation.
Refer to CKP System Variation. Learn Procedure.
The crankshaft position system variation
compensating values are stored in the PCM
non-volatile memory after a learn procedure has
been performed. If the actual crankshaft
position variation is not within the crankshaft
position system variation compensating values
stored in the PCM, OTC P0300 may set. The
crankshaft position system variation learn
procedure is required when any of the following
service procedures have been performed:
- PCM replacement or reprogramming
- Engine replacement
- Crankshaft replacement
- Crankshaft balancer replacement
- Crankshaft position sensor replacement
Any engine repairs which disturbs
crankshaft/harmonic balancer to crankshaft
.position sensor relationship.
System grounds.
Ensure all connections are clean and properly
tightened.
" Mass air flow sensor.
A Mass air flow (MAF) sensor output that causes
the PCM to sense a lower than normal air flow
will cause a lean condition. Try operating the
vehicle within. t.he fail records conditions with t.he
MAF sensor disconnected. If the lean or
misfiring condition is not present with the MAF
sensor disconnected, replace the MAF sensor.
" Loss of EBCM/EBTCM Serial Data.
If the PCM stops receiving data from the
EBCM/EBTCM, OTC P0300 can set due to a loss
of rough road data. Check for stored ABS/TCS
DTCs, especially DTCs related. to a serial
data malfunction. Refer to Self-Diagnostics in
ABS/TCS.
Air Induction System.
Vacuum leaks that cause intake air to bypass the
MAF sensor will cause a lean condition. Inspect
for disconnected or damaged vacuum hoses,
incorrectly installed or malfunctioning crankcase
ventilation valve, or for vacuum leaks at the
throttle body, EGR valve, and intake manifold
mounting surfaces.
Fuel Pressure.
Perform a fuel system pressure test. A
malfunctioning fuel pump, plugged filter, or
malfunctioning fuel system pressure regulator will
contribute to a lean condition.
Refer to Fuel System Pressure Test.
Fuel injectors
Refer to Fuel lnj Coil Test - ECT Between
10-35 Degrees C (50-95 Degrees F).
Refer to Fuel lnj Coil Test - ECT Outside
10-35 Degrees C (50-95 Degrees F).

Engine Controls - 3.8L

6-959

" Contaminated Fuel.


Refer to Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis.
EGR System.
Inspect for leaking valve, adapter, or feed pipes
which will contribute to a lean condition or
excessive EGR flow.
Extended Idle,
Excessive open loop operation caused by
extended idling or short trip driving may leave
deposits on the heated oxygen sensors. The
deposits cause oxygen sensors to respond slowly
to exhaust oxygen content, affecting fuel control
and causing a misfire to be indicated at idle. This
condition is not permanent. To determine if this
condition is causing the DTC P0300 to be
set, review the freeze frame and fail records data
for DTC P0300. If the OTC P0300 occurs at
high engine speeds, the condition described
above did not cause the OTC P0300 to set. If the
OTC P0300 occurs at idle or very low engine
speeds and at engine coolant temperatures less
than 80C (176F), the condition described
above is very likely the cause of the OTC P0300
being set. The deposits on the heated oxygen
sensors can be eliminated by operating the vehicle
fully warm at mass air flows more than 15 gm/s.

Important: If the level of misfire was sufficient to


cause possible catalyst damage (if the MIL was
flashing), ensure that the OTC P0420 test is completed
and passed after verifying the misfire repair.
Reviewing the Freeze Frame/Fail Records vehicle
mileage since the diagnostic test last failed may help
determine how often the. condition that caused the
OTC to be set occurs. This may assist in diagnosing
the condition.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. A condition that sets a OTC other than P0300
may also cause a misfire ..If any of the indicated
DTCs are set with OTC P0300, diagnose and
repair the other OTC before using the
OTC P0300 table.
3. The Misfire Current Cyl # parameter may normally
indicate a small amount of activity (0 - 1O counts)
but should not steadily increment during an
entire 200 revolution test sample period.

4. Depending on the cause of the misfire, the Misfire


History Cyl # counter will indicate a very large
number for the misfiring cylinders; values for the
non-misfiring cylinders will be less than
1/2 as great as the misfiring cylinders. When
investigatirig a misfire, always start with the
components associated with the cylinders that has
the largest number of counts stored in the
Misfire History Cyl # counter.
5. Steps 5 through 12 test for conditions that can
cause a random cylinder misfire.
13. Steps 13 through 22 test for conditions that can
cause a non-random or single cylinder misfire.

Circuit Description

Conditions for Setting the OTC

The 1BX reference signal is produced by the ignition


control module. The ICM calculates .the 18X reference
signal by filtering the crankshaft position (CKP)
sensor 18X pulses when the engine is running and
CKP sync pulses are also being received. The
PCM uses the 18X reference signal to calculate engine
RPM and crankshaft position at engine speeds less
than "1200 RPM. The PCM constantly monitors
the number of pulses on the 18X reference circuit and
compares the number of 18X reference pulses to
the number of 3 X reference pulses and CAM signal
pulses being received. If the PCM receives an
incorrect number of pulses on the 18X reference
circuit, OTC P0336 will set and the PCM will use the
3X reference signal circuit for fuel and ignition
control. The engine will continue to start and run using
the 3X reference and CAM signals only.

No 18X reference pulses are not received in


one engine cycle (720 degrees of crankshaft rotation).

Conditions for Running the OTC


The engine is running (3X reference pulses are being
received).

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in
which the diagnostic has been run and failed.
If equipped with traction control, the PCM will
command the electronic brake and traction control
module (EBTCM) via the serial data circuit to
turn OFF traction control, and the EBTCM
will illuminate the TRACTION OFF lamp.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the OTC set as Freeze Frame and Failure
Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC


The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run. and passed ..
The History OTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
The OTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Circuit Description
The camshaft position PCM input is produced by the
ignition control module or ICM. The ICM produces
the camshaft position PCM input by filtering the
camshaft position (CMP) sensor pulses when the
engine is running and CKP sync pulses are also being
received. The PCM uses the camshaft position
PCM input pulses to initiate sequential fuel injection
and to determine crankshaft position for the misfire
diagnostic. The PCM constantly monitors the number
of pulses on the camshaft position PCM input
circuit and compares the number of camshaft position
PCM input pulses to the number of 18X reference
pulses and the number of 3X reference pulses being
received. If the PCM receives an incorrect number
of pulses on the camshaft position PCM input circuit,
OTC P0341 will set and the PCM will initiate injector
sequence without the camshaft position PCM
input with a one in six chance that injector sequence is
correct. The engine will continue to start and run
normally, although the misfire diagnostic will be
disabled.

Conditions for Running the DTC

DTC P0401 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Flow Insufficient


Circuit Description
The PCM tests the EGR system during deceleration
by momentarily commanding the EGR valve open
while monitoring the manifold absolute pressure (MAP)
sensor signal. When the EGR valve is opened, the
PCM should see a proportional increase in MAP. If the
expected increase in MAP is not seen, the PCM
notes the amount of error that was detected and
adjusts an internal fail counter towards a fail threshold
level. When the fail counter exceeds the fail threshold
level, the PCM will set DTC P0401. The number of
test samples required to accomplish this may
vary according to the amount of detected flow error.
Normally, the PCM will only allow one EGR flow
test sample to be taken during an ignition cycle. To
aid in verifying a repair, the PCM a!!ows a specified
number of test samples during the first Ignition
cycle following a scan tool Clear Info or a battery
disconnect. Between nine and twelve samples should
be sufficient for the PCIVI to determine adequate
EGR flow and pass the EGR test if the system is
operating correctly.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.
The History OTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following:
Important: If the EGR valve shows signs of excessive
heat, inspect the exhaust system for blockage
.(possibly a plugged catalytic converter). Refer to
Restricted Exhaust System Check.
To verify a repair, cle.ar the information with the scan
tool and run the EGR flow test keeping the following
items in mind:

will

The PCM
only run the EGR flow test during a
gradual deceleration.
The PCM will only run the EGR test during a
closed throttle condition.

RPM is between 900 and 1400 RPM.

The PCM will only run the EGR test at vehicle


speeds more than 40 km/h (25 mph).
.. Several deceleration cycles will be necessary to
run a sufficient number of EGR flow test
samples (9-12).

BARO is more than 70 kPa.


Vehicle speed is more than 40 km/h (25 MPH).

" If the engine speed increases more than 100 RPM


from the enabling RPM (refer to Conditions for
Running the DTC), the PCM will reset the test.

A/C clutch status is unchanged.

If the engine speed decreases more than


300 RPM from the enabling RPM (refer to
Conditions for Running the DTC), the PCM will
reset the test.
When the PCM commands the EGR valve open
engine speed will drop. If the engine speed
drops below the following RPM values, the test

will not run:

No Fuel Injector, CKP, TP, MAP, VSS, IAT, ECT,


IAC, EGR Pintle, Misfire or MAF DTCs set.
Engine coolant temperature is more than
75C (167F).

Transmission status is unchanged.


Throttle angle is less than 1 percent
EGR position is less than 1 percent
MAP, TP, RPM and VSS are steady.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


MAP changes monitored during the EGR flow test
indicate insufficient EGR flow.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will iiluminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) during the first trip in which the
diagnostic test has been run and failed.
The PCM wi!l store conditions which were present
when the OTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

- Manual Transaxle - 800 RPM.


- Automatic Transaxle - 700 RPM.
The EGR TestCounter displayed on the scan tool
can b.e useful in determining that the EGR flow
test is running and to keep track of the number of
test samples taken. The counter will increment
each time a test sample is taken.

Engine

Engine Controls

A Vacuum restriction to the MAP sensor - A restriction


to the M.AP sensor can cause the EGR flow test to
fail due to insufficient MAP changes being monitored
during the test. Inspect for objects blocking the
vacuum to the MAP sensor. Also inspect for kinked or
pinched MAP sensor vacuum hoses (if equipped.)

Important: Remove any debris from the connector


surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, bro.ken locks,

Circuit Description
The PCM monitors the EGR valve pintle position input
to ensure that the valve responds properly to
commands from the PCM. The Linear EGR valve is
controlled by using an ignition positive driver and
ground circuit within the PCM. The driver has
the ability to detect an electrical malfunction in the
ignition positive or ground circuit. If an electrical
malfunction occurs, the driver signals the PCM to set
DTC P0403.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The engine is cranking or running.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The PCM detects an electrical malfunction in the
control circuit for the EGR valve.
The condition is present for more than 20 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in
which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC


The PCM will turn the MIL OFF du~ing the
third consecutive trip in which the. diagnostic has
been run and passed.

Refer to Engine Controls Schematics.

Circuit Description
To control emissions of Hydrocarbons (HC), Carbon
Monoxide (CO), and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), a
three-way catalytic converter is.used. The .catalyst
within the converter promotes a ch.emical reaction
which oxidizes the HC and CO present in the exhaust
gas, converting them into harmless water vapor
and carbon dioxide. The catalyst also redu,ces NOx,
converting it to nitrogen; The converter also has
the ability to store excess oxygen and release the
stored oxygen to promote these reactions. This oxygen
storage capacity, (OSC) is a measurement ofthe
catalysts ability to control emissions. T.he PCM.
monitors t.his process using a h.eated oxygen
sensor (H02$) located in the exhaust stream past the
three-way converter. When the catalyst is functioning
properly, .the r;I02S 2 is slow to respond to a large
change in the H02S 1 signal: When the H02S 2
responds quickly to a large change in the H02S 1
signal.the OSC and efficiency of the catalyst is
consideredfo be bad and the MIL will be illuminated if
subsequerittests also indicate a fail~re.

The DTC ca_n be cleared by using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following:
The PCM WILL NOT ENABLE the catalyst test
until following conditions are met:

- Engine speed is plus or minus 250 RPM


from desired idle.
- Throttle position (TP) is less than .5 percent
- Short term integrator is between
-20 percent and +20 percent.
The catalyst test WILL ABORT if the vehicle falls
out side the conditions listed below while the
test is running:
- Engine speed is plus or minus 250 RPM
from desired idle.
- Throttle position (TP) is less than .. 5 percent.
- Short term integrator is between
-20 percent and +20 percent.
The catalyst test may abort due to a change in
engine load (i.e., A/C, coolant fan). If this
problem occurs use the scan tool to force the
cooling fans on return to step 3 in the table then
repeat the test
Important: When using the scan tool to force the
cooling fans .on use the next list and previous list soft
keys to enter the catalyst data list. If the. catalyst
data list is not entered this way the cooling fan control
will be canceled.
The number of attempted tests is limited to
18 per key cycle.

Engine

Engine Controls - 3.8l

More than 6 tests may have to be attempted to


get 6 completed tests. An aborted test counts
as an attempted test.
If 18.tests have been attempted, and a decision
has not been made this key cycle then turn the
key OFF for 30 seconds. Start the engine
and perform the Conditions for Running the DTC including the 10 minute run time.
After returning to an idle the H02S 1 signal may
stay rich or lean for several seconds causing
the test to be delayed.
Important: Remove any debris from the connector
surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If .the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display
on the scan tool while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A
change in the display may indicate the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for
clean and secure connections.

If the DTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing


the Failure Records can be useful in determining
when the OTC was last set.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table:
1. The powertrain OBD system check prompts the
technician to complete some basic tests and
store the freeze frame and failure records data on
the scan tool if applicable.
2. If any other DTCs are set, diagnose those DTCs
first. A fault in a component can cause the
converter to appear degraded or may have caused
its failure.

3. Clearing the DTCs allows the catalyst test to be


attempted 18 times and completed up to 6 times
this key cycle. If the A/C is ON the diagnostic may
not run. The engine must be warmed-up. The
converter needs to be warmed-up by raising the
engine speed more than idle for the specified tim.e
prior to each attempted test. Check and see if
OTC passed or failed this key cycle. If the
DTC does not pass or fail look for a possible
reason that would cause the test to abort.
4. This step includes tests for conditions that can
cause the three~way converter to appear
degraded. Repair any problems found before
proceeding with this table.
9. If the three-way converter needs to bereplaced,
make sure that another condition is not present
which could damage the converter. These
conditions may include: misfire, high engine oil or
coolant consumption, retarded spark timing,
weak spark or a plugged/leaking injectors. Correct
any possible causes of converter damage
before replacing the converter.

DTC P0440 Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System


Refer to EVAP System Overview.

System Description
The EVAP LARGE LEAK TEST Is based on applying
vacuum to the EV AP system and monitoring
vacuum decay. The PCM monitors vacuum level via
the fuel tank pressure sensor input. At an appropriate
time, the EV AP canister purge valve and the EV AP
vent valve/solenoid are turned on, allowing engine
vacuum to draw a small vacuum on the entire
evaporative emission system. If a sufficient vacuum
level cannot be achieved, a large leak or a faulty EVAP
canister purge valve is. indicated. This can be caused
by the following conditions:.
Disconnected or faulty fuel tank pressure sensor
Missing, not completely installed or faulty fuel
fill cap
" Disconnected, damaged, pinched, or blocked
EV AP purge line
" Disconnected or damaged EVAP vent hose
" Disconnected, damaged, pinched, or blocked fuel
tank vapor line
Disconnected or faulty EVAP canister purge valve
" Disconnected or faulty EVAP vent valve
" Open ignition feed circuit to the EVAP vent or
purge valve
Damaged EVAP canister
" Leaking fuel sender assembly 0-ring
Leaking fuel tank or fuel filler neck
Any of the above conditions can set DTC P0440.

Conditions for Running the OTC


No TP sensor, ODM, IAT sensor, or MAP sensor
DTCs set.
System voltage is between 9 and 16 volts.
" Startup engine coolant temperature is between
4C and 30C (40F and 86F).
O Startup engine coolant temperature is not more
than 8C (14F) greater than startup intake air
temperature.
.. Startup Intake air temperature is between 4C and
30C (40F and 86F).
" Startup intake air temperature not more than
2C (4F) greater than start-up engine coolant
temperature.
Fuel tank level is between 15 percent and
85 percent.
BARO is more than 75kPa.

Conditions For Setting the OTC


The EV AP system is not able to achieve or maintain
vacuum during the diagnostic test.

Action Taken When the OTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate the MIL during the
first trip in which the diagnostic runs and fails.
If equipped with traction control, the PCM will
command the EBTCM via the serial data circuit to
turn OFF traction control and .illuminate the
TRACTION OFF lamp.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

Important: Although this diagnostic is considered type


A, it acts like a type B diagnostic. Whenever the
EVAP diagnostics report that a system has passed, or
if the battery has been disconnected, the diagnoslic
must fail during 2 consecutive cold start trips
before setting a DTC. The initial failure is not reported
to the diagnostic executive or displayed on a scan
tool. A passing system always reports to the diagnostic
executive immediately.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/OTC


The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the
third consecut.ive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.
The History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following:
Cracked or punctured EVAP canister.
Damaged or disconnected source vacuum line,
EVAP purge line, vent hose or fuel tank
vapor line.
Poor connection at the PCM.
Inspect harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal to wire connection.
Damaged harness. Inspect the wiring harness to
the EVAP vent valve, the EVAP purge valve,
and the fuel tank pressure sensor for an
intermittent open or short circuit.
Kinked, pinched or plugged vacuum source,
EVAP purge, or fuel tank vapor line. Verify that the
lines are not restricted.
Use the following procedure to test for a carbon
release condition that could plug the system.
1. Turn off the ignition switch.
2. Remove the EVAP canister purge valve. R1;3fer
to EVAP Canister Purge Valve Replacement.
3. Lightly tap the canister purge valve on a clean
work area looking for carbon particles exiting
either of the vacuum ports.

4. If no carbon release is evident, reinstall the


components and continue with the. OTC P0440
diagnostic table. If carbon is being released
from either component, continue with this
service procedure.
5: Remove the charcoal canister from the vehicle.
6. Ensure that the main cylinder valve is turned
off on the J 41413 EVAP purge/pressure
diagnostic station.
7. Disconnect the black hose that connects the
nitrogen cylinder to the EV AP purge/pressure
diagnostic station at the pressure regulator
by unscrewing the knurled nut on the regulator.
No too.ls are required to remove the black
ho$e from the regulator.
8. Using a section of vacuum line, connect
one end over the open threaded fitting of
the EVAP purge/pressure diagnostic station

vent valve are turned on allowing engine vacuum
to draw a small vacuum on the entire evaporative
emission system. After the desired vacuum level has
been achieved, the EVAP purge valve is turned
off, sealing the system. A leak is detected by
monitoring for a decrease in vacuum level over a
given time period, all other variables remaining
constant. A small leak in the system will cause
OTC P0442 to be set.

Circuit Description
Output driver modules (ODMs) are used by the PCM
to turn on many of the current-driven devices that
are needed to control various engine and Transmission
functions. Each ODM is capable of controlling up to
7 separate outputs by applying ground to the
.
device which the PCM is commanding ON. Unlike the
quad driver modules (QDMs) used in prior model
years, ODMs have the capability of diagnosing each
output circuit individually. DTC P0443 set indicates an
improper voltage level has been detected on the
output circuit which controls the EVAP canister purge
solenoid valve.

Conditions for Running the OTC


The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


An improper voltage level has been detected on
the output circuit which controls the EVAP
canister purge solenoid valve.
The above conditions are present for at least
30 seconds.

Action Taken When the OTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in
which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.
The History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Test Description

Inspect for the following:


Poor connection at the PCM.
Inspect harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal to wire connection.
Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, disconnect the PCM,
turn the ignition ON and observe a voltmeter
connected between the solenoid control circuit and
ground at the PCM harness connector while
moving connectors and wiring harnesses related
to the solenoid. A change in voltage will
indicate the location of the malfunction.
Review the Fail Records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test last failed. This may help determine
how often the condition that caused the OTC to be set
occurs.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the


diagnostic table.
1. The powertrain OBD System Check prompts you
to complete some basic checks and store the
freeze frame and failure records data on the
scan tool.
2. Listen for an audible clicking when the purge
solenoid operates: Command both the Increase
and Decrease states. Repeat the commands
as necessary.

3. Tests for voltage at the feed side of the solenoid.


4. Verifies that the PCM is providing ground to the
.solenoid.
5. Tests if ground is constantly being applied to the
solenoid.
12. The PCM utilizes Electrically Erasable
Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM).
When the PCM is replaced, the new PCM must be
programmed.

DTC P0446 Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Vent System Performance


Refer to EVAP System Overview.

System Description
A RESTRICTED or BLOCKED EVAP VENT PATH is
detected by monitoring fuel tank pressure during
normal operation (EVAP vent .valve/solenoid open, .
EVAP canister purge valve normal). With the
EVAP vent valve open, vacuum level in the system
should be very low unless the vent path is blocked. A
blockage can be caused by the following conditions:
Faulty EVAP vent va!ve (stuck closed)
Plugged kinked or pinched vent hose
Shorted EVAP vent valve driver circuit
Plugged EV AP canister
If any of the conditions described above are present,
DTC P0446 will set.

Conditions for Running the DTC


.. No TP sensor, ODM, IAT sensor, or MAP sensor
DTCs set.
., All conditions for P0440 and P0442 have been
met and passed.
Startup engine coolant temperature is not more
than 40 and 300 (40F and 86F}.
" Startup engine is not more than 80 (14F).
Startup Intake air temperature not more than 2C
and 30C (40F and 86F).
Startup intake air temperature not more than
20 (4F).
Fuel tank level is between 15 percent and
85 percent.
BARO is more than 75kPa.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


" Fuel tank pressure is less than -10 inch H20.
" The condition is present for at least 30 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will jlluminate the MIL during the
first trip in which the diagnostic runs and fails.
If equipped with traction control, the PCM will
command the EBTCM via the serial data circuit to
turn OFF traction control and illuminate the
TRACTION OFF lamp.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.
Important: Although this diagnostic is considered
type A, it acts like a type B diagnostic. Whenever the
EVAP diagnostics report that a system has passed,
or if the battery has been disconnected, the diagnostic
must fail during 2 .consecutive cold start trips before
setting a DTC. The initial failure is not reported to the
diagnostic executive or displayed on a scan tool. A
passing system always reports to the diagnostic
executive immediately.

Conditions for Clearing the Mil/OTC


The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.

The History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive


warm-up cycles have occurred Without a
malfunction.

The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following:
Kinked, pinched or plugged vent hose
Reviewing the Fail Records vehicle mileage since
the diagnostic test last failed may help determine
how often the condition that caused the DTC
to be set occurs. This may assist in diagnosing
the condition.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to t.he step numbers oh the
diagnostic table:
1. The Powertrain On-Board Diagnosis (OBD)
System Check prompts you to the basic checks
and store the Freeze Frame and Failure Records
Data on the scan tool if applicable.
2. If a EVAP vent valve or EV AP purge valve
electrical malfunction is present, the purge system
Will not operate correctly .. Repairing the electrical
malfunction that caused the additional DJC to
set will very likely correct the conqition that
set this DTC.

3. Inspects for a fuel tan.k pressure sensor stuck


high condition. The fuel .tank pressure must
be relieved by removing the canister .line from the
. fuel tank or EVAP canister. l"he fuel fill cap will
not relieve the tank pressure due to a check valve
in the filler neck. The check. valve seals when
pressure is appHed to prevent vapor from escaping
through the filler neck.. The scan tool should
read within 1.0 inch H20 of the specified value.
4. Verifies that the fuel tank pressure sensor
accurately reacts to EVAP system pressure
changes. The EVAP station is pressurizing a
sensor that normally reads vacuum.. The scan tool
reads high pressure at O volts and high vacuum
at 5 volts. The scan tool can only read .a max
pressure of 6:0 inch of H20 (0 volts). However the
EVAP service station can pressurize the system
to much higher pressures. The scan tool value
should be within 0.5 inch H20 of the
specified value.
5. Inspects for a plugged or stuck closed EVAP vent
valve. The value should decrease to within
1.0 inch HG of the specified value.

Circuit Description
Output driver modules (ODMs) are used by the PCM
to turn on many of the current-driven devices that
are needed to control various engine and Transmission
functions. Each ODM is capable of controlling up to
7 separate outputs by applying ground to the
device which the PCM is commanding ON. Unlike the
quad driver modules (QDMs) used in prior model
years, ODMs have the capability of diagnosing each
output circuit individually. DTC P0449 set indicates an
improper voltage level has been detected on the
output circuit which controls the EVAP canister vent
solenoid valve.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


An improper voltage level has been detected on
the output circuit which controls the EVAP
canister vent solenoid valve.
The above conditions are present for at least
30 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL} during the second consecutive trip in
which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.
The History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

594230

Circuit Description
The fuel level sensor changes resistance based on
fuel level. The fuel level sensor has a signal circuit and
a ground circuit. The PCM applies a voltage (about
5.0 volts) on the signal circuit to the sensor. The PCM
monitors changes in this voltage caused by changes
in the resistance of the sensor to determine fuel level.

When the fuel tank is full, the sensor resistance is


high, and the PCMs signal voltage is only pulled down
a small amount through the sensor to ground.
Therefore, the PCM will sense a high signal voltage
(fuel tank full). When the fuel tank is empty, the sensor
resistance is low, and the signal voltage is pulled
down a greater amount. This causes the PCM to sense
a low signalvoltage (fuel tank empty).
The PCM uses inputs from the fuel level sensor to
calculate the total fuel remaining in the fuel tank. This
information is then sent to the fuel gauge.

This DTC sets when the PCM senses a signal voltage


lower than the normal operating range of the sensor.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The ignition switch is in the RUN position.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The fuel level sensor voltage is below 0.39 volts.
All conditions present for 6.0 minutes.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in
which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.

The OTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

the Freeze Frame and/or Failure ,Records data can aid


in determining how many miles since the DTC set.
The Fail Counter and Pass Counter can also aid

Circuit Description
The fuel level sensor changes resistance based on
fuel level. The fuel level sensor has a signal circuit and
a ground circuit. The PCM applies a voltage (about
5.0 volts) on the signal circuit to the sensor. The PCM
monitors changes in this voltage caused by changes
in the resistance of the sensor to determine fuel level.
When the fuel tank is full, the sensor resistance is
high, and the PCMs signal voltage is only pulled down
a small amount through the sensor to ground.
Therefore, the PCM will sense a high signal voltage
(fuel tank full). When the fuel tank is empty, the sensor
resistance is low, and the signal voltage is pulled
down. a greater amount. This causes the PCM to sense
a low signal voltage (fuel tank empty).
The PCM uses inputs from the fuel level sensor to
calculate the total fuel remaining in the fuel tank. This

Circuit Description
Output driver modules (OOMs) are used by the PCM
to turn on many of the current-driven devices that
are needed to control various engine and Transaxle
functions. Each OOM is capable of controlling up to
7 separate outputs by applying ground to the
device which the PCM is commanding ON. Unlike the
quad driver modules (QOMs) used in prior model
years, OOMs have the capability of diagnosing each
output circuit individually. OTC P0480 set indicates an
improper voltage level has been detected on the
output circuit which controls the Fan 1 Relay.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


An improper voltage level has been detected on
the output circuit which controls the low
speed fans.
The above conditions present for at least
30 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in
which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the OTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

Engine
Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC
The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.
. The History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm 0 upcycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
The OTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following:
Important: Remove any debris from the connector
surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testingfor Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display
on the scan tool While moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A
change in the display may indicate the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for
clean and secure connections.
If the DTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Failure Records can be useful in determining
when the OTC was last set.

Engine Controls - 3.8L

the commands as necessary.

3. Tests for voltage at the coil feed side of the relay.


4. Verifies that the PCM is providing ground to
the relay.
5. Tests if ground is constantly being applied to
the relay.
12. The PCM utilizes Electrically Erasable
Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM).
When the PCM is replaced, the new PCM must be
programmed.

Circuit Description
Vehicle speed information is provided to the PCM by
the vehicle speed sensor (VSS). The VSS consists
of a magnetic pickup sensor mounted to the
transmission case which interfaces with a rotor
pressed onto to the transmission output shaft. The
VSS produces a frequency signal that is proportional
'to vehicle speed. The PCM converts the VSS
signal to vehicle speed, displayed on the scan tool in
miles per hour and kilometers per hour. The PCM
also uses the VSS signal to generate the 4000 pulses
per mile vehicle speed signal used by the instrument
cluster and the TAC module.

Conditions for Running the DTC


~

Engine speed is more than 1250 RPM.


.. Engine load and engine speed acceleration
indicate that the vehicle is in gear.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

5 km/h (3 MPH) for more than 20 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in
which the diagnostic has been run and failed.
If equipped with traction control, the PCM will
command the electronic brake and traction control
module (EBTCM) via the serial data circuit to
turn OFF traction control, and the EBTCM
will illuminate the TRACTION OFF lamp.
.. The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC set as Freeze Frame and Failure
Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


" The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.

The History DTC will clear after 40 .consecutive


warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Inspect for a Loose or damaged VSS rotor - A
damaged VSS rotor may cause an erratic or incorrect
vehicle speed to be displayed. Refer to Manual
Transmission section for on-vehicle service.

Important: Remove any debris from the connector


surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion .
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
.
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor

Circuit Description
The throttle actuator motor is controlled by the TAC
module using various inputs from the PCM which
are communicated across serial data. The DC motor
located on the throttle body drives the throttle plate. In
order to decrease idle speed, the TAC module
commands the throttle closed reducing air flow into
the engine and the idle speed decreases; In order to
increase idle speed, the TAC module cornmands
the throttle plate open allowing more air to bypass the
throttle plate. If the Actual idle RPM does not match
the Desired idle RPM within a calibrated time, this
OTC sets.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following:
Important: Remove any debris from the connector
surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector.Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
" Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display
on the scan tool while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A
change in the display may indicate the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
.. Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for
clean and secure connections.
If the OTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Failure Records can be useful in determining
when the OTC was last set.

Circuit Description
The A/C system uses an A/C refrigerant pressure
sensor mounted in the high pressure side of the A/C
refrigerant system to monitor A/C refrigerant pressure.
The PCM uses this information to turn ON the
engine coolant fans when the A/C refrigerant pressure
is high and to keep the compressor disengaged
when A/C refrigerant pressure is excessively high or
low. The AJC refrigerant pressure sensor operates like
other 3-wire sensors. The PCM applies a 5.0 volt
reference and a sensor ground to the sensor. Changes
in the A/C refrigerant pressure will cause the A/C
refrigerant pressure input to the PCM to vary.
The PCM monitors the A/C refrigerant pressure signal
circuit and can determine when the signal is outside
of the possible range of the sensor. When the signal is
out of range (high or low) for a prolonged period of
time, the PCM will set OTC P0530. When OTC P0530
is set, the PCM will not allow the A/C compressor
clutch to engage. This is done to protect the
compressor.

Conditions for Running the DTC


.. The engine is running.
" The A/C is requested.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The A/C refrigerant pressure sensor signal voltage
is less than 0.1 volt (9 psi).
OR
" The A/C refrigerant pressure sensor signal voltage
is more than 4.9 volts (472 psi).
.. Either of the above conditions are present for
more than 20 seconds.

Circuit Description
The cruise control brake switch and the cruise clutch
switch are normally closed switches. When the
.Cruise Brake switch or the cruise clutch switch are
closed, the PCM senses ignition voltage on the cruise
control release signal circuit. The PCM compares
this signal to the signal received from the other clutch
and brake switches. If these switches do not agree
this DTC will set.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The engine speed is more than 1000 RPM for
1 second.
The wheel speed is more than 20 mph in order to
enable the diagnostic. The diagnostic disables
when the wheel speed is less than 5 mph.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The vehicle speed decreases 1. MPH in
0.5 seconds without the PCM sensing a switch
transition.
~ The cond.ition is present for 1O accel/decel cycles.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will not illuminate the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL).
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC set as Failure Records data only.
This information will not be stored as Freeze
Frame data.

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Perform the following in order to adjust the cruise


control brake switch:
1. With the brake pedal depressed, insert the cruise
control brake switch into the retainer until the
switch body seats in the retainer. You can hear
clicks as you push the threaded portion of
the switch through the retainer.
2. Slowly pull the brake pedal fully rearward against
the stop until you can no longer hear the clicks.
Inspect for the following:
Important: Remove any debris from the connector
surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire .connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.

Circuit Description

Diagnostic Aids

Output driver modules (ODMs) are used by the PCM


to turn on many of the current-driven devices that
are needed to control various engine and Transaxle
functions. Each ODM is capable of controlling up to
7 separate outputs by applying ground to the
device which the PCM is commanding ON. Unlike the
quad driver modules (QDMs) used in prior model
years, ODMs have the capability of diagnosing each
output circuit individually. OTC P0650 set indicates an
improper voltage level on the output circuit that
controls the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).

Circuit Description
The clutch anticipate switch input allows the PCM to
adjust the idle when the manual transmission clutch is
being disengaged. The PCM monitors the Clutch
Anticipate Switch input; if a low voltage is monitored,
the PCM considers the Clutch Anticipate Switch
closed to ground (clutch engaged). When the ground
at the Clutch Anticipate Switch input is interrupted
(clutch being disengaged), the PCM will immediately
decrease idle. This is done to avoid a possible
RPM flare caused by the sudden change in
engine load.

Conditions for Running the DTC


Engine load and engine speed acceleration indicate
that the vehicle is in gear and moving.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


O

The Clutch Anticipate Switch PCM input indicates


that the clutch is engaged. (clutch switch closed
to ground).

Above conditions must be present for more than


3 minutes.
OR

" Changes in the vehicle speed to engine speed


ratio indicate that more than 70 gear changes
have occurred.
The state of the Clutch Anticipate Switch did not
change.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will not illuminate the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL).
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC set as Failure Records data only.
This information will not be stored as Freeze
Frame data.

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


" A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
.. The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following:
Important: Remove any debris from the connector
surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
" Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
" Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display
on the scan tool while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A
change in the display may indicate the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for
clean and secure connections.
If the DTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Failure Records can be useful in determining
when the DTC was last set.

Circuit Description
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is a thermistor
which measures the temperature of the air entering
the engine. The PCM applies 5.0 volts through a
pull up resistor to the IAT sensor. When the intake air
is cold, the sensor resistance is high and the PCM
will monitor a high signal voltage on the IAT
signal circuit. If the intake air is warm, the sensor
resistance is lower causing the PCM to monitor a lower
voltage. OTC P1111 will set when the PCM detects
an intermittently high signal voltage on the intake
air temperature sensor signal circuit.

indicator lamp (MIL).
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC set as Failure Records data only.
This information will not be stored as Freeze
Frame data.

Conclitions for Clearing the MIUDTC


A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Important: Remove any debris from the connector


surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display
on the scan tool while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A
change in the display may indicate the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for
clean and secure connections.
If the DTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Failure Records can be useful in determining
when the DTC was last set.

Circuit Description

Diagnostic Aids

The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a


thermistor mounted in the engine coolant stream. The
PCM applies a voltage (about 5.0 volts) through a
pull up resistor to the ECT signal circuit. When
the engine coolant is cold, the sensor (thermistor)
resistance is high therefore the PCM will measure a
high signal voltage. As the engine coolant warms, the
sensor resistance becomes less, and the ECT
signal voltage measured at the PCM drops. With a
fully warmed up engine, the ECT signal voltage should
measure about 1.5 to 2.0 volts. If the PCM detects
an ECT signal that is intermittently below the range of
the ECT sensor, OTC P1114 will set.

Inspect for the following:

Conditions for Running the DTC


The engine has been running for more than
15 seconds.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The ECT sensor is intermittently more than
140C (284 F)
The condition is present for at least 3 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will not illuminate the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL).
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the OTC set as Failure Records data only.
This information will not be stored as Freeze

Engine Controls - 3.8L

Diagnostic Aids
When the TAC module detects a problem within the
ETC System the PCM receives a message across
serial data and more than one ETC System related
DTC may set. This is due to the many redundant tests
run continuously on this system. Locating and
repairing one individual problem may correct more
than one DTC. Keep this in mind when reviewing
captured DTC info.
Inspect for the following:

Important: Remove any debris from the connector


surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.

Engine
Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display
on the scan tool while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A
change in the display may indicate the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for
clean and secure connections.
If the DTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing

DTC P1125 Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) System


Diagnostic Aids

) Circuit Description
The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensors are
mounted on the accelerator pedal/TAC module
assembly. There are three individual Accelerator Pedal
Position sensors within one housing. Three separate
signals, a ground, and reference circuits. If only
one APP sensor DTC is set, the redundant APP
systems allow the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)
system to continue operating normally. This OTC sets if
the PCM detects a problem with more than one APP
sensor. One APP sensor OTC will not cause the
Reduced Engine Power message to be displayed.
Two APP sensor DTCs for the same sensor also will not
cause the Reduced Engine Power message to be
displayed. However, if two or more DTCs are set
involving more than one APP sensor, this OTC will set
and the Reduced Engine Power message is displayed.

Conditions for Running the DTC


DTCs P0606, P1517, P1518 are not set.
The ignition is ON.
The ETC serial data is operational.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


Two or more APP sensors are out of range or all
three APP sensors disagree or one APP sensor is out
of range and the other two APP sensors disagree.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate the MIL during the
first trip in which the diagnostic runs and fails.
If equipped with traction control, the PCM will
command the EBTCM via the serial data circuit to
turn OFF traction control and illuminate the
TRACTION OFF lamp ..
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


The PCM will turn the MIL. OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.
The History OTC will .clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

If a repair is completed and the OTC was cleared


using a scan tool on the same ignition cycle, the
default action will not clear until an ignition
cycle has occurred.
When the TAC module detects a problem within
the ETC System the PCM receives a message
across serial data and more than one ETC System
related OTC may set. This is due to the many
redundant tests run continuously on this system.
Locating and repairing one individual problem
may correct more than one OTC. Keep this in mind
when reviewing captured OTC info.
Inspect for the following:
Important: Remove any debris from the connector
surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display on
the scan tool while moving co.nnectors and wiring
harnesses related to the sensor. A change in.the
display may indicate the location of the fault. Refer
to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for clean
and secure connections.
If the OTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Failure Records can be useful .in determining
when the OTC was last set.

lean to rich thresholds during a 100 second test
period. If the PCM determines that the H02S did not
switch enough times, DTC P1133 will be set. A
lean to rich switch is determined when the H02S
voltage changes from less than 300 mV to more than
600 mV. A rich to lean switch is determined when
the H02S voltage changes from more than 600 mV to
less than 300 mV.

when the DTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC


The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.
The History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
O
The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
O Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display
on the scan tool while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A
change in the display may indicate the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for
clean and secure connections.
If the DTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Failure Records can be useful in determining
when the DTC was last set.

2. When the system is operating correctly the H02S


voltage should toggle above and below the
specified values.
5. If the low circuit is shorted to ground the H02S
voltage will be less than 400 mV when. the

6. When the TAC module detects. a problem within
the ETC System the PCM receives a message
across serial dc:lta and.more than one ETC System
related OTC may set. This is due to the many
redundant tests run continuously on this system.

DTC P1336 Crankshaft Position (CKP) System Variation Not learned


Circuit Description

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC

The crankshaft position system variation learning


feature is used to calculate reference period errors
caused by slight tolerance variations in the crankshaft,
the crankshaft balancer interrupter rings, and the
crankshaft position sensor hall effect switches. The
calculated error allows the PCM to accurately
compensate for reference period variations. This
enhances the ability of the PCM to detect misfire
events over a wider range of engine speed and load.
The crankshaft position system variation values
are. stored in the PCM non-volatile memory after a
learn procedure has been performed. DTC P1336 set
indicates that the crankshaft position system
variation values have not been stored in the PCM and
the crankshaft position system variation learn
procedure must be performed. The learn procedure is
required after the following seNice procedures
have been performed, regardless of whether or not
OTC P1336 is set:
PCM replacement
Engine replacement
Crankshaft replacement
e Crankshaft balancer replacement
" Crankshaft position sensor replacement
Any engine repairs which disturbs
crankshaft/harmonic balancer to crankshaft
position sensor relationship

Conditions for Running the DTC


The engine is running.

The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the


third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.
The History OTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
The OTC can be cleared by using a .scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
The crankshaft position system variationcompensating
values are stored in the PCM non-volatile memory
after a learn procedure has been performed. If
the actual crankshaft position variation is not within
the crankshaft position system variation compensating
values stored.in the PCM, DTCP0300 may set,
refer to Diagnostic Aids for OTC P0300.

procedure. cannot be performed successfully, check
for the following conditions and correct as necessary:
The engine ,coolant temperature less than
70C (158F).
Allow the engine to warm to more than
70C (158F).

Circuit Description
The ignition control module (ICM) sends signals that
the PCM requires for fuel control and spark advance
calculations. At the start of engine crank, the ICM
controls spark advance (Bypass mode). When
the second 3X reference pulse is recognized by the
PCM, the PCM applies 5 volts to the Bypass
circuit. The 5 volts on the Bypass circuit commands
the ICM to switch spark advance to PCM control
(IC mode). At this time, The ICM will remove
the ground it has applied to the IC circuit. If the PCM
.detects a open in the IC circuit, DTC P135i will
set. The engine may be started but will run on Bypass
mode timing.

Circuit Description
The 3X reference signal is produced by the ignition
control module. The ICM calculates the 3X reference
signal by dividing the crankshaft position (CKP)
sensor 18X pulses by 3 when the engine is running
and CKP sync pulses are also being received.
The PCM uses the 3X reference signal to calculate
engine rpm and crankshaft position at engine speeds
more than 1200 rpm. The PCM also uses the
pulses on this circuit to initiate injector pulses. The
PCM constantly monitors the number of pulses on the
3X reference circuit and compares the number of
3X reference pulses to the number of 18 X reference
pulses and CAM signal pulses being received. If
the PCM receives an incorrect number of pulses on
the 3X reference circuit, DTC P1374 will set and
the PCM will use the 18X reference signal circuit for
fuel and ignition control. The engine will continue
to start and run using the 18X reference and camshaft
position PCM input signals only.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


'" The ratio of 18X reference pulses to CAM signal
pulses received by the PCM equals 36:1.
.. The ratio of 18X reference pulses to 3X reference
pulses received by the PCM does not equal 6:1.
The condition is present for more than 1O seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in
which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC


The PCM wiU turn the MIL OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.
" The History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
" The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

DTC P1441 Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Flow During NonmPurge


Refer to EVAP SystemOverview.

System Description
THE powertrain control module (PCIVI) supplies a
ground to energize the EVAP purge valve (purge on).
The EVAP purge valve control is pulse width
modulated (PWM) or turned on and off several times a
second. The duty cycle (pulse width) is determined
by engine operating conditions including load, throttle
position, coolant temperature and ambient
temperature. The duty cycle is calculated by the PCM
and the output is commanded when the appropriate
conditions have been met. The system checks
for conditions that cause the EV AP system to purge
continuously by commanding the EV AP vent valve ON
(Closed) and the EVAP canister purge valve OFF
(Closed). If vacuum level in the fuel tank increases
during the test, a continuous purge flow condition
is indicated. This can be caused by any of the
following conditions:
EV AP canister purge valve leaking internally
EVAP purge and engine vacuum lines switched at
the EV AP canister purge valve
EVAP canister purge valve control circuit grounded
If any of these conditions are present, OTC P1441
will set.

Conditions for Running the DTC


No ECT, IAT, MAP, TP, MAF sensor, VSS,
H02S, Misfire, Fueltrim, Injector circuit,
EGR pintle position DTCs set.
All conditions for OTC P0440, P0442 and P0446
diagnostic tests have be~n met and passed.
Startup engine coolant temperature is not more
than 4C and 30C (40 F and 86F).
Startup engine is not more than 8C (14F).
Startup Intake air temperature not more than 2c
and 30C (40F and 86F).
Startup intake air temperature riot more than
2C (4F).
Fuel tank level is between 15 percent and
85 percent.
BARO is more than 75kPa.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


A continuous open purge flow condition is detected
during the diagnostic test (fuel tank pressure
decreases to less than -11 inch H20.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


" The PCM will illuminate the MIL during .the
first trip in which the diagnostic runs and fails.
If equipped with traction control, the PCM will
command the EBTCM via the serialdata circuit to
turn OFF traction control and illuminate the
TRACTION OFF lamp.
.
" The PCM will store condition.s which were present
when the OTC setas Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

Important: Although this diagnostic is considered


type A, it acts like a type B diagnostic. Whenever the
EVAP diagnostics report that a system has passed,
or if the battery has been disconnected, the diagnostic
must fail during 2 consecutive cold sta.rt trips.before
setting a OTC. The initial failure is not reported to the
diagnostic executive or displayed on a scan tool. A
passing system always reports to the diagnostic
executive immediately.

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.
..
The History OTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
The OTC can be cleared.by using a scan .tool.

Diagnostic Aids

Check for the following conditions:


Poor connection at the PCM.
Inspect harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, brokenlocks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal to wire connection.
Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage.
If the harness appears to .be OK, c::orinect the
J 41413 to the EVAP service.port, pressurize
the EVAP system to "10 inch H20 and observe the
fuel tank pressure display on the sc.an tool
while moving connectors and wiring harnesses
related to the EVAP purge valve. A sudden
change in the display will indicate.the location of
the malfunction.

Engine

Engine Controls - 3.8l .6-1129

Incorrect vacuum line routing.

Verify that the source vacuum line routing to the


EVAP purge valve is correct and that the
EVAP purge and source vacuum lines to the
EVAP canister purge valve are not switched.
Malfunctioning or damaged canister.
Use the following procedure to check for a carbon
release condition:
1. Turn OFF the ignition.

2. Remove the EVAP purge valve. Refer to


EVAP Canister Purge Valve Replacement.

3. Lightly tap the EVAP purge valve on a clean


work area looking for carbon particles exiting
either of the vacuum ports,
4. If no carbon release is evident, reinstall the
components and continue with the OTC P1441
table. If carbon is being released from either
component, continue with this se,rvice
procedure.

5. Remove the charcoal canister from the vehicle.


6. Ensure that the main cylinder valve is turned
OFF on the J 41413 EVAP purge/pressure

diagnostic station.

7. Disconnect the black hose that connects the


nitrogen cylinder to the EVAP purge/pressure
diagnostic station at the pressure regulator
by unscrewing the knurled nut on the regulator.
No tools are required to remove the black
hose from the regulator.
8. Using a section of vacuum line, connect
one end over the open threaded fitting of
the EVAP purge/pressure diagnostic station
pressure regulator.
9. Connect the remaining end to the EVAP purge
valve end of the EVAP purge line at the
vehicle and turn on the main nitrogen cylinder
valve. Continue to blow any debris from the
purge line for 15 seconds.
10. Return the J 41413 EVAP pressure/purge
diagnostic station to its original condition by
re-installing the black hose that was
disconnected in step 7.
11. Replace the following components:
The EV AP purge valve. Refer to
EVAP Canister Purge Valve
Replacement.
The EVAP canister. Refer to EVAP
Canister Replacement.
12. Proceed with the OTC P1441 diagnostic table.
Reviewing the Fail Records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test last failed may help determine how
often the condition that caused the OTC to set occurs.
This may assist in diagnosing the condition.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table:
1. The Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic (OBO)
System Check promps you to complete some of
the basic check and store the Freeze Frame
and Failure Records data on the scan tool
if applicable.
2. If an EVAP purge valve electrical malfunction is
present, the purge system will not operate
correctly. Repairing the electrical malfunction will
very likely correct the condition that set
this OTC.

3. Inspects for a fuel tank pressure sensor stuck


high condition. The fuel tank pressure must
be relieved by removing the canister line from the
fuel tank or EV AP canister. The fuel fill cap will
not relieve the tank due to a check valve in
the filler neck. The check valve seals when
pressure is applied to prevent vapors from
escaping through the filler neck. The scan tool
should read within 1.0 inch H20 of the
specified value.
4. Inspects for a leaking or stuck open EVAP
canister purge valve/solenoid. the scan tool should
read within 1.0 inch HG of the specified value.
5. Verifies that the fuel tank pressure sensor
accurately reacts to EVAP system pressure
changes. the EVAP station is pressurizing a
sensor that normally reads vacuum. The scan tool
reads high pressure at O volts and high vacuum
at 5 volts. The scan tool can only read a max
pressure of 6.0 inches of H20 (O volts). However
the EVAP service station can pressurize the
system to much higher pressures. The scan tool
value should be within 0.5 in H20 of the
specified value.
6. If the EVAP purge and engine vacuum lines are

DTC P1514 Throttle Body Performance


Circuit Description
The PCM uses the TP, BARO, IAT and engine RPM
in order to calculate an expected mass airflow
.
rate. The PCM compares this value to the mass airflow
value and the speed density calculation in order to
verify the proper throttle operation.

Conditions for Running the DTC


No other ETC DTCs are present.
No PCM processor DTCs are present.
Engine is running and engine speed is more
than 600 RPM.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The PCM detects that the actual airflow (MAF) and
Speed Density is .much more than the expected
(calculated) airflow rate.

Action Ta.ken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate. the MIL during the
first trip in which the diagnostic runs and fails.
If equipped with traction control, the PCM will
command the EBTCM via the serial data circuit to
turn OFF traction control and illuminate the
TRACTION OFF lamp.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC


The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the
third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.
The History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred. without a
malfunction.
The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following:
Inspect the throttle blade for being broken, bent,
or missing.
Skewed cam sensor Signal - Intermittently shorted
to ground, causing a fluctuating RPM as seen on
the scan tool.

Important: Remove any debris from the connector


surfaces before seNicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets preventcontaminate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks
improperly formed or damaged terminals,' and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to te~! for.proper
tension. Refer to. Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Damaged harness.
lnspectthe wiring harness for damage, If the
harness appears to be OK,. obseNe the display
on the scan tool while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A
change in .. the display may indicate the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for
clean and'secureconnections.
'
If the ~TC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Failure Records tan be useful in determining
when the DTC was last set.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.

3. Physically/visually inspect the throttle body


assembly and correct any problems that .
you obseNe. Manually move the throttle blade
from closed to wide open throttle (WOT).
You should not need to use excessive force. The
throttle blade should move smoothly through
the full range and should return to a slightly open
position on its own.
5. When the PCM detects a problem within the ETC
System other DTCs may set due to. the many
redundant tests rnn continuously on this svstem.
Locating and repairing one individual problem
may correct more than one DTC. Keep this
in mind when reviewing captured OTC info.

The throttle actuator control (TAC) module contains


data which is essential for proper ETC System
operation. The TAC module continuously checks the
integrity of this data. When the TAC module is
unable to write or read data to and from RAM or the
TAC module is unable to correctly read data from
the flash memory or an internal TAC module processor
fault is detected. This communicated to the PCM
across serial data and this OTC sets.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The ignition is in the crank or run position.
" OTC P1518 is not present.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The TAC module determines that an internal data test
did not pass.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will illuminate the MIL during the
first trip in which the diagnostic runs and fails.
e If equipped with traction control, the PCM will
command the EBTCM via the serial data circuit to
turn OFF traction control and illuminate the
TRACTION OFF lamp.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the OTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the


third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has
been run and passed.

" The History OTC will clear after 40 consecutive


warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
" The OTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
Important: Remove any debris from the connector
surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing/replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
4. When the TAC module detects a problem within
the ETC System the PCM receives a message
across serial data and more than one ETC System
related OTC may set. This is due to the many
redundant tests run continuously on this system.
Locating and repairing one individual problem
may correct more than one OTC. Keep this
in mind when reviewing captured OTC info.

Circui1t Description
The TAC module and the PCM communicate via a
dedica1ed serial data circuit. This serial data circuit is
separate from any other serial data circuit on the
vehicle. Accurate transmitting and receiving of serial
data requires not only good circuit integrity but
also adequate system voltage. This diagnostic
monitors the accuracy of the serial data transmitted
between the TAC module and the PCM. If the
PCM/TAC module detects a loss of data or invalid
data, this OTC sets.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The ignition switch is in the crank or run position.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


Invalid or missing serial data messages are detected
for a predetermined amount of time.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


" The PCM will illuminate the MIL during the
first trip in which the diagnostic runs and fails.
If equipped with traction control, the PCM will
command the EBTCM via the serial data circuit to
turn OFF traction control and illuminate the
TRACTION OFF lamp.

Circuit Description

Diagnostic Aids

The PCM supplies 5 volts on the desired torque circuit


to the electronic brake and traction .control
module (EBTCM). The EBTCM toggles this 5 volt
signal to a ground in order to produce a duty cycle
signal. The signal is proportional to the amount
of engine output torque reduction requested by the
EBTCM. The EBTCM supplies this signal when
it detects a wheel slip. In order to reduce engine output
torque, the PCM reduces the amount of spark
advance and in some cases, the PCM disables a
num~er of fuel injectors. This diagnostic test checks
for a desired torque signal failure. If the PCM does not
receive the desired torque signal, this DTC sets.

Important: Do not perform this diagnostic procedure if


the c.ustomers concern is not related to the ABS
and/or the Traction Contro_l systems.
The following may cause an intermittent:

Circuit Description

Diagnostic Aids

The stop lamp switch (TAC brake switch) is a normally


open switch. When the switch is closed, the TAC
module senses ignition voltage on the signal circuit. If
the PCM senses a high rate of deceleration without
a input from this switch this OTC will set.

In order to adjust the stop lamp switch perform the


following:
1. With the brake pedal depressed, insert the brake
lamp switch into the retainer until the switch body
seats in the retainer. You can hear clicks as
you push the threaded portion of the switch
through the retainer.
2. Slowly pull the brake pedal fully rearward against
the stop until you can no longer hear the clicks.
Inspect for the following:

Conditions for Running the OTC


The engine speed is more than 1000 RPM.
The wheel speed must be more than 20 MPH in
order to enable the diagnostic. The diagnostic
will disable when the wheel speed is less
than 5 MPH.

Conditions for Setting the OTC


The vehicle speed decreases 0.5 MPH in
0.5 seconds without the PCM sensing a switch
transition.
. The condition is present for 20 accel/decel cycles.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM will not illuminate the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL).
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC set as Failure Records data only.
This information will not be stored as Freeze
Frame data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/OTC


A history OTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
)

The OTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Important: Remove any debris from the connector


surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
.. Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
I
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.

Circuit Description
The body control module (BCM) produces the Theft
Deterrent Fuel Enable signal when ignition is ON and
the proper key resistor pellet is sensed. The PCM
monitors the Fuel Enable signal during crank. If
the proper signal is present on the Theft Deterrent
Fuel Enable circuit, the PCM enables fuel delivery to
allow the engine to start. If the PCM detects that
the fuel enable signal is not present or incorrect while
the engine is running, DTC P1626 will be set.
DTC P1626 can cause a no-start condition or normal
operation depending on when the loss of the fuel
enable signal was detected. The engine will continue
to start and run if the condition that set DTC P1626
occurred after the BCM sensed the proper key resistor
pellet and signaled the PCM to continue fuel delivery.
The engine will start and immediately stall if the
condi1ion that set DTC P1626 occurred before the
BCM sensed the proper key resistor pellet. With this
condi1ion present, the PCM will inhibit fuel delivery and
the BCM will disable the starter. If the problem
affects inputs to the BCM, the starter motor may be
disabled. If this condition is present, refer to Vehicle
Theft Deterrent System for further diagnosis.

Circuit Description
The electronic brake and traction control
module (EBTCM) controls the PWM signal on the
Desired Torque circuit while monitoring the wheel
speed sensors to detect slippage. The PCM monitors
the PWM signal and reduces engine torque as
needed by retarding ignition timing, decreasing boost
duty cycle, increasing air/fuel ratio, or, in severe
cases, shutting OFF up to three fuel injectors. The
PCM sends a PWM signal to the electronic brake and
traction control module (EBTCM) on the delivered
torque circuit informing the EBTCM of response made
to the desired torque signal. A problem with the
delivered torque circuit should cause OTC P1689 and
ABS/TCS OTC 76 to set and traction control to be
disabled. Refer to ABS/TCS for further information.

Conditions for Running the OTC


The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


An improper voltage level has been detected on
the output circuit which controls the traction
control delivered torque output.
The above conditions present for at least
30 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


" The PCM will not illuminate the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL).
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the OTC set as Failure Records data only.
This information will not be stored as Freeze
Frame data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC


A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a
malfunction.
The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Mode, the PCM turns the Juel off to four cylinders


at a time in order to keep engine temperatures
from reaching damaging levels. The system
perceives Engine Coolant Over Temperature as a
lack of power, miss, or rough idle. If the vehicle
is operating in Engine Coolant Over
Temperature-Fuel Disabled Mode, refer to
Engine/Engine Cooling for diagnosis.
The scan tool data is within the normal operating
range, refer to Scan Tool Data List.
Verify the customer complaint, and locate the
correct symptom in the table of contents. Inspect
the items indicated under that symptom.

Engine
Visual/Physical Check
Several of the symptom procedures ask for a Careful
Visual/Physical inspection. This step is extremely
important :_ it can lead to correcting a problem without
further testing and can save valuable time. This
inspection checks for the following:
PCM grounds are clean, tight, and in their proper
location.
Vacuum hoses are not split, kinked, and proper
connections are present, as shown on the
Vehicle Emission Control Information label. Inspect
thomughly for any type of leak or restriction
Mass air flow (MAF) sensor is installed correctly.
The arrows on the plastic portion of the sensor
must point toward the engine
Air intake ducts are not collapsed or damaged.
No Air leaks at throttle body mounting area, Mass
Air Flow (MAF) sensor, and the intake manifold
sealing surfaces.
Ignition wires are not cracked, hardened or carbon
tracking.
Ignition wires are routed correctly.
Engine wiring is not damaged.
Terminals have proper connections.

Intermittent
Important: Inspect for improper installation of electrical
components if an intermittent condition exists.
Inspect for aftermarket theft deterrent devices, lights
and cel.lular phones. Ensure that no aftermarket
equipment is connectecl to the Class 2 circuit. If you
can not locate an intermittent condition, a cellular
phone signal communication may cause the condition.
Important: The problem may or may not turn ON
the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL} or store a DTC.
DO NOT use the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
tables for intermittent problems. The fault must
be present in order to locate the problem.
Faulty electrical connections or wiring cause most
intermittent problems. Perform a careful visual/physical
inspection for the following conditions:
Poor mating of the connector halves or a
terminal not fully seated in the connector body
(backed out).
An improperly formed or damaged terminal.
Reform or replace connector terminals in the
problem circuit in order to insure proper contact
tension.
Poor terminal to wire connection requires removing
the terminal from the connector body iri order
to check.

Engine Controls - 3.SL

6-1169

Road test the vehicle with a digital multimeter


connected to the suspected circuit. An abnormal
voltage when the malfunction occurs is a good
indication that there is a malfunction in the circuit
being monitored.
Use a scan tool in order to help detect intermittent
conditions. The GM Techline equipment (Scan Tool}
has several features that you can use to locate
an intermittent condition. Use the following features to
find intermittent faults:
You can trigger the Snapshot feature in order to
capture and store engine parameters within the
scan tool when the malfunction occurs. You
can then review this stored information in order to
see what caused the malfunction.
Using a Scan Tools Freeze Frame buffer or
Failure Records buffer can also aid in locating an
intermittent condition. Review and capture the
information in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
record associated with the intermittent DTC being
diagnosed. Drive the vehicle in the conditions
that were present when the DTC originally set.

Important: If the intermittent condition exists as a


start and then stall, check for DTCs relating to the theft
deterrent system. Inspect for improper installation of
electrical options such as lights, cellular phones etc.
Any of the following may cause an intermittent
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) with no stored DTC:
The ignition coils shorted to a ground, arcing at
the ignition wires or the spark plugs.
The PCM grounds, refer to PCM wiring diagrams.
The ignition control (IC) wires for being routed
to close to the secondary ignition wires, coils,
or the generator - Ensure that all of the circuits
from the PCM to the ignition coils have good
connections.
An open diode across the A/C compressor clutch
and other open diodes.
Use the following tables when diagnosing a symptom

Powertrain Control Module Diagnosis


The approved procedure for diagnosing all powertrain
control system malfunctions is included in the
Strategy Based Diagnosis. The preliminary checks
and the .Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic System
Check mustbe performed to successfully diagnose
and repair the powertrain systems.
To read and clear diagnostic trouble codes, use a
scan tool.

Important: Use a scan tool to clear diagnostic trouble


codes from the PCM memory. Diagnostic trouble
codes can also be cleared by turning OFF the ignition
and disconnecting the battery power from the PCM
for 30 seconds, but this method will also cause
all diagnostic information in the PCM memory to be
cleared and all the diagnostic tests will have to
be re-run.
Since the PCM can have a failure which may affect
only one circuit, following the approved diagnostic
procedures will determine which circuit has a problem
and where it is. If a diagnostic table indicates that
the PCM connections or PCM is the cause of a
problem and the PCM is replaced, but does not correct
the problem, one of the following conditions may exist:

Engine
" The EEPROM program is not correct for the
application.
Incorrect components may cause a malfunction
and may or may not set a OTC.
The problem is intermittent. This means that 1he
problem is not present at the time the system is
being checked. In this case, refer to the Symptoms
portion of the manual and make a careful visual
and physical inspection of all suspected
components and wiring associated with the
affected system.
" Shorted solenoid, relay coil, or harness. Solenoids
and relays are turned ON and OFF by the PCM
using internal electronic switches called drivers.
Each driver is part of a group of seven called
output driver modules. A shorted solenoid, relay
coil, or harness will not damage the PCM but .
will cause the solenoid or relay to be inoperative.
The J 34636 tester, or equivalent, provides a
fast, accurate means of checking for a shorted coil
or a short to battery voltage.

(.
.

There is a problem with the PCM connections.


The diagnostic table will indicate that the PCM
connections or PCM is the problem. The terminals
may have to be removed from the PCM
connector in order to check them properly.

Circuit Description

Diagnostic Aids

The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor


responds to changes in intake manifold pressure
(vacuum). The MAP sensor signal voltage to the PCM
varies from below 2.0 volts at idle (high vacuum) to
above 4.0 volts with the key on, engine not running, or
engine running at wide open throttl~ (low vacuum).
The MAP sensor is used to determine manifold
pressure changes while the linear EGR flow test
diagnostic is being run to determine engine vacuum
level for other diagnostics and to determine barometric
pressure (BARO). The PCM monitors the MAP
signals for voltages outside the normal range of the
MAP sensor. If the PCM detects a MAP signal voltage
that is excessively high, OTC P0108 Manifold
Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor Circuit High Voltage
will be set. If the PCM detects a MAP signal voltage
that is excessively low, OTC P0107 Manifold Absolute
Pressure (MAP) Sensor Circuit Low Voltage will
be set.
The PCM also uses the MAP sensor for throttle
position sensor performance. If the PCM detects a TP
in an out of range condition, when the MAP reading
is above or below a calibrated amount then
OTC P1514 Throttle Body Performance will be set.

Inspect for the following:


Important: Remove any debris from the connector
suriaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display
on the scan tool while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A
change in the display may indicate.the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for
clean and secure connections.
If the DTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Failure Records can be useful in determining
when the DTC was last set.

Circuit Description:
The cooling fans are controlled by the PCM based on
various inputs. Ignition voltage is supplied to all

three cooling fan relay coils. The PCM controls cooling


fan relay # 1 by providing the ground path. The
PCM controls cooling fan relays # 2 and # 3 together
by providing a ground path. The left and right
cooling fans are connected in series. This will enable
both fans on low speed when the fan #1 relay is
energized. When all three fan relays are energized,
both fans will operate at high speed. The high speed is
possible because the fan relays are wired in a
parallel circuit. When the PCM detects that certain
DTCs are set, the PCM will enable the cooling fans.

The PCM will enable the engine cooling fans when


certain Diagnostic Trouble Codes are set. The
PCM will also enable the cooling fans after the ignition
is turned off. When engine coolant temperature
exceeds 140C (284F) and the ignition is turned off,
the cooling fans will be enabled on low speed.

6-1198

Engine

Engine Controls - 3.8L

Diagnostic Aids
If the owner complained of an overheating problem,
determine if the complaint was due to an actual boil
over, or the warning indicator light illuminated, or the
engine coolant temperature gauge indicated
overheating. The gauge accuracy can also be checked
by comparing the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT}
sensor reading using a scan tool and comparing its
reading with the gauge reading. If the engine is actually
overheating and the gauge indicated overheating, but

the cooling fan is not coming ON, the Engine Coolant


Temperature (ECT) sensor has probably shifted out of
calibration and should be replaced.
If the engine is overheating and the cooling fans are
ON, the cooling system should be checked, refer
to Engine Overheating.

The PCM will command low speed fans ON at 108C


(226F) and OFF at 103C (217F) and, high speed
fans ON at 113C (235F) and OFF at 108C (226F}.

Electric Cooling Fan Diagnosis (Functional Check)


Test Description
The numbers below refer to numbers on the
diagnostic table.

3. Allow engine coolant temperature to cool below


100C (212F} before proceeding with diagnosis.

2. The PCM will enable the engine cooling fans


when certain Diagnostic Trouble Codes are
set. Go to applicable DTC Table first before

Circuit Description
The Cruise Control System is a speed control system
that maintains a desired vehicle speed under
normal driving conditions. The cruise control system
has the capability of the following:
Cruise
Coast
Resume speed
Accelerate
Raise (Tap-up) the vehicle speed by
1.6 km/h (1 mph)
Lower (Tap-down) the vehicle speed by
1.6 km/h (1 mph)
The PCM controls the cruise system. When the cruise
control switch is in the ON position and you push
the cruise SET/COAST switch, the PCM maintains the
current vehicle speed. If the engine load varies, the
PCM commands the throttle blade to the appropriate
position in order to maintain the desired vehicle speed.
The cruise control system consists of the following

Circuit Description
The engine oil level switch is a simple float switch that
is grounded when the engine oil level is OK. The
PCM tests the engine oil level switch circuit at startup.
Before testing the state of the engine oil level
switch, the PCM performs a test routine based on time
and engine coolant temperature to ensure that the
engine oil has drained back into the sump. To test for
low oil level at startup, one of the following conditions
must be present:
If the engine coolant temperature was between
15C (59F) and 130C (266F) at the last key
OFF, the engine coolant temperature at key ON
must be at least 12C (22F) cooler than the
engine coolant temperature at the last key OFF.
If the engine coolant temperature was higher than
100c (212F) at the last key OFF, the time
between last key OFF and the present key ON
must be sufficient to allow the oil to drain back to
the sump. The PCM will remain powered up
for 10 seconds to ensure that the oil has drained
back to the sump. If the key is turned back
ON while the PCM is still powered up, the oil level
will not be tested.
The low oil level lamp will be illuminated for
approximately 7 minutes when the PCM tests for low
oil level and the engine oil level switch indicates
that a low oil level condition exists (Engine Oil Level
switch circuit not grounded). When the ignition is
first turned ON, the PCM commands the low oil level
lamp ON for a brief period of time to test the bulb.

Diagnostic Aids
For diagnosis of the instrument panel, perform the
System Check in the Instrument Cluster section
of Electrical Diagnosis.

Inspect for the following:


A switch stuck closed will indicate oil level parameter
OK at all times even in a Low oil condition.
Engine oil level switch circuit: If the problem with the
low oil level lamp can not be isolated using the Engine
Oil Level Switch Diagnostic table, use the PCM
Controlled Lamps Diagnostic table.

Important: Remove any debris from the connector


surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect
the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a
component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed
correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the hamess connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a
corresponding mating terminal to test for proper
tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor
Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the
harness appears to be OK, observe the display
on the scan tool while moving connectors
and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A
change in the display may indicate the location of
the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring
Systems.
Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds tor
clean and secure connections.
If the OTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing
the Failure Records can be useful in determining
when the OTC was last set.

Fuel System Pressure Test

(

Circuit Description
When the ignition is turned ON, the powertrain control
module (PCM) will turn ON the .in-tank fuel pump. The
in-tank fuel pump will remain ON as long as the engine
is cranking or running and the PCM is receiving
reference pulses. If there are no reference pulses, the
PCM will turn the in-tank.fuel pump OFF 2 seconds
after the ignition switch is turned ON or 2 seconds after
the engine stops running. The in-tank fuel pump is an
electric pump within an integral reservoir (4). The
in-tank fuel pump supplies fuel through the fuel
feed pipe (1 ), and in-line fuel filter (2) to the fuel rail
assembly (8). The fuel pump is designed to provide fuel
at a pressure above the pressure needed by the fuel
injectors (9). A fuel pressure regulator (7), attached to
the fuel rail, keeps the fuel available to the fuel injectors
at a regulated pressure. Unused fuel is returned to the
fuel tank by a separate fuel return pipe (5). The fuel
pump flex pipe (3) functions as a conduit for
transporting pressurized fuel from the fuel pump to the
above cover fuel feed pipe. The fuel pump flex pipe also
eliminates fuel pump generated pressure pulse noise,
and eliminates clamps formerly needed for rubber
hoses or nylon pipes. The fuel pressure gauge
J 34730-1A (10). The fuel pipe return and feed hose
assemblies are the pinch points used during the fuel
system pressure test (6).

. Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.

2. With the ignition ON and the fuel pump running,


the fuel pressure indicated by the fuel pressure
gage should be 333-376 kPa (48-55 psi). This
pressure is controlled by the amount of pressure
the spring inside the fuel pressure regulator
can provide.
3. A fuel system that drops more than 5 psi in
1O minutes has. a leak in one or more areas:
5. Fuel pressure that drops-off during acceleration,
cruise or hard cornering may cause a lean
condition. A lean condition can cause a loss of
power, surging, or misfire. A lean condition can be
diagnosed using a scan tool. lfan extremely
lean condition occurs, the oxygen sensorss will
stop toggling. The oxygen sensor output voltages
will drop below 500 mV. Also, the fuel injector
width will increase.

Engine

Engine Controls - 3.8l

8. When the engine is at idle, the manifold pressure


is low (high vacuum). This low pressure (high
vacuum) is applied to the fuel pressure regulator
diaphragm. The low pressure (high vacuum)
will offset the pressure being applied to the fuel
pressure regulator diaphragm by the spring inside
the fuel pressure regulator. When this happens,
the result is lower fuel pressure. The fuel pressure
at idle will vary slightly as the barometric
pressure changes, but the fuel pressure at idle
should always be less than the fuel pressure noted
in step 2 with the Engine OFF.
12. A rich condition may result from the fuel pressure
being above 376 kPa (55 psi). A rich condition
may cause a OTC P0132 or a OTC P0172 to set.
Oriveability conditions associated with rich
conditions can include hard starting (followed by
black smoke) and a strong sulfur smell in the
exhaust.
13. This test determines if the high fuel pressure is
due to a restricted fuel return pipe or if the
high fuel pressure is due to a faulty fuel pressure
regulator.

6-1213

15. A lean condition may result from the fuel pressure


being below 333 kPa (48 psi). A lean condition
may cause a OTC P0131 or a OTC P0171 to set.
Oriveability conditions associated with lean
conditions can include hard starting (when the
engine is cold), hesitation, poor driveability, lack of
power, surging, and misfiring.
16. Restricting the fuel return pipe with the fuel pipe
shut-off adapter causes the fuel pressure to
rise above the regulated fuel pressure. Using a
scan tool to pressurize the system, the fuel
pressure should rise above 376 kPa (55 psi) as
the valve on the fuel pipe shut-off adapter
connected to the fuel return pipe becomes partially
closed.
22. Check the spark plug associated with a particular
fuel injector for fouling or saturation in order to
determine if that particular fuel injector is leaking.
If checking the spark plug associated with a
particular fuel injector for fouling or saturation does
not determine that a particular fuel injector is
leaking, use the following procedure.

leaking around the fuel sender 0-ring. Failure to
follow these precautions may result in personal
injury.

6. Put the cylinder on a level surface for


approximately 5 minutes in order to allow

Important: This. check requires a fuel sender


assembly, a fuel filler cap, and a fuel sender gasket to
be installed in the fuel tank.
1. Relieve fuel system pressure. Refer to Fuel
Pressure Relief Procedure.
2. Remove the fuel tank. Refer to Fuel Tank
Pressure Sensor Replacement.
3. Cap the fuel feed pipe, the fuel return pipe, and
the EV AP pipe on the fuel sender assembly.
4. Install a piece of fuel line on vent pipe.
5. Submerge the fuel tank in water or apply a soap

Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis
Alcohol concentrations greater than 10 percent in fuel
can be detrimental to fuel system components and
may cause driveability problems such as hesitation,
lack of power, stall, no start, etc.
The problems may be due to fu~I system_ cor~osion
and subsequent fuel filter plugging, detenorat1on
of rubber components, and/or air-fuel mixture leaning.
Various types and concentrations of alcohol are
used in commercial fuel. Some alcohol is more
detrimental to fuel system components than others. If
an excessive amount of alcohol in the fuel is
suspected as the cause of a driveability condition, the
following procedure may be used to detect the
presence of alcohol in the fuel.

Testing Procedure
The fuel sample should be drawn from the bottom of
the tank so that any water present in the tank will
be detected. The sample should be bright and clear. If
the sample appears cloudy, or contaminated with
water (as indicated by a water layer at the bottom of
the sample), this procedure should not be used,
and the fuel system should be cleaned.
1. Using a 100 ml specified cylinder with 1 ml
graduation marks, fill the cylinder with fuel to
the 90 ml mark.
2. Add 1O ml of water in order to bring the total fluid
volume to 100 ml and install a stopper.
3. Shake the cylinder vigorously for
10 to 15 seconds.

5. Re-install the stopper and shake the cylinder


vigorously again for 10 to 15 seconds.

If alcohol is present in the fuel, the volume of the


lower layer (which would now contain both alco~ol and
water) will be greater than 10 ml. For example, 1f
the volume of the lower layer is increased to 15 ml,
this indicates at least 5 percent alcohol in the fuel. The
actual amount of alcohol may be somewhat greater
because this procedure does not extract all of the
alcohol from the fuel.

Fuel Quality Diagnosis


Fuel quality may cause driveability problems such as
hesitation, lack of power, stall, no start, etc.
Certain driveability problems can be related to fuel
quality. Fuel testing is limited. Therefore, all other.
system checks must be performed (e.g. P~w~rtrain
System, Fuel System, Ignition System, Em1ss1on
System) before fuel quality is diagnosed. If these
checks fail to solve the problem, gain information from
the customer about when the condition occurs,
when and where the fuel was purchased, and which
octane level was used. Ask the customer to change
fuel brands. If the symptom persists, perform the Fuel
System Diagnosis Alcohol in Fuel test. If this is not
conclusive, drain the tank and refill with a known good
quality fuel.

Due to increasing awareness towards vehicle


emissions (Evaporative and Exhaust) and their impact
on the environment, federal regulations are limiting
certain characteristics of fuel. These limitations
are causing driveability problems that ar~ extre~ely
difficult to diagnose. In order to make a d1agnos1s,
a basic understanding of fuel and its effects on
the vehicles fuel system must be gained.

Octane
Octane is a measure of a fuel's ability to resist spark
knock. Spark knock occurs in the combustion
chamber just after the spark plug fires, when the
air/fuel mixture in the cylinder does not completely
burn. The remaining mixture spontaneously combusts
due to temperature and pressure. This secondary
explosion causes a vibration that is heard as a knock
.
(ping). Fuel with a high octane numb~r has_ a
greater resistance to spark knock. This vehicle requires
87 octane (VIN K) and 91 (VIN 1) (supercharged)
octane ([R+M]/2 method) in order to ensure proper
performance of the fuel control system. Using fuel with
an octane rating lower can create spark knock,
which would cause the PCM to retard ignition timing to
eliminate the knock. In a case such as this, poor
engine performance and reduced fuel e?onomy could
result. Also, in severe knock cases, engine damage
may occur.

Volatility

Fuel System Deposits

Volatility is a fuels ability to change from a liquid state


to a vapor state. Since liquid gasoline will not burn,
it must vaporize before entering the combustion
chamber. The rate at which gasoline vaporizes
determines the amount of evaporative emissions
released from the fuel system, and therefore has made
volatility an environmental concern. The federal
government has lowered the maximum allowable
volatility, but certain driveability conditions have
resulted.
Volatility can be determined through three different
tests: the Vapor-Liquid Ratio, the Distillation Curve,
and the Reid Vapor Pressure Test (RVP). The
Vapor-Liquid Ratio test determines what temperatures
must exist to create a vapor-liquid ratio of 20. The
distillation curve is a graph showing the relationship
between temperature and the percentage of fuel
evaporated. The. fuel components that boil at relatively
low temperatures (below about 90F) are known as
light ends and those that boil at about 300F are
known as heavy ends. The light ends are important for
cold starting and cold weather driveability. Heavy
ends provide engine power and are important for hot
weather driveability. It is the proper mixture of
these components that provide proper operation
across a wide range of temperatures. However, the
distillation curve of a gasoline usually requires
laboratory testing. The Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP)
test measures the pressure (psi) vaporized fuel exerts
within a sealed container when heated to 100F.
Volatility increases proportional to RVP. While RVP
can easily be measured in the field, it may be
misleading because it is possible for two fuels with the
same RVP to have different distillation curves, and
therefore, different driveability characteristics.
As stated, improper volatility can create several
driveability problems. Low volatility can cause poor
cold starts, slow warm ups, and poor overall cold
weather performance. It may also cause deposits in
the crankcase, combustion chambers and spark plugs.
Volatility that is too high could cause high evaporative
emissions and purge canister overload, vapor lock,
and hot weather driveability conditions. Since volatility
is dependent on temperature, different fuels are
used during certain seasons of the year, thus creating
problems during sudden temperature changes.

Fuel system deposits can cause various driveability


problems. Deposits usually occur during hot soaks
after key OFF. Poor fuel quality or driving patterns
such as short trips followed by long cool down periods
can cause injector deposits. This occurs when the
fuel remaining in the injector tip evaporates and leaves
deposits. Leaking injectors can increase injector
deposits. Deposits on fuel injectors affect their spray
pattern, which in turn could cause reduced power,
unstable idle, hard starts and poor fuel economy.
Intake valve deposits can also be related to fuel
quality. While most fuels contain deposit inhibitors,
some do not and the effectiveness of deposit inhibitors
varies by manufacturer. If intake val.ve deposits
occur, fuel may be suspected. These deposits can
cause symptoms such as excessive exhaust
emissions, power loss and poor fuel economy.

Sulfur Content
The sulfur content in fuel is also regulated to a certain
standard. Premium grades of fuel generally have a
lower sulfur content than the less expensive blends. A
high sulfur content can promote the formation of
acidic compounds that could deteriorate engine oil and
increase engine wear. It could also produce excessive
exhaust emissions or a rotten egg smell from the
exhaust system.

EVAP Control System Diagnosis


Refer. to EVAP System Overview.

System
Description
.
..
The EVAP canister purge valve allows manifold
vacuum to purge the canister. The powertrain control
module (PCM) supplies a ground to energize the
purge valve (purge ON). The EVAP purge valve control
is pulse width modulated (PWM) or Turned ON and
OFF several times a second. The duty cycle

(pulse width) is determined by engine operating


conditions including load, throttle position, coolant
temperature and ambient temperature. The duty cycle
is calculated by the PCM a:nd the output is
commanded when the appropriate conditions have
been met.
The EVAP Vent valve is used to seal the EVAP
system during diagnostic tests. The fuel tank pressure
sensor is used to monitor vacuum in the system
during the diagnostic tests.
A stuck .closed EV AP canister purge valve, Stuck
open EVAP vent valve, disconnected or damaged
EVAP Purge line or vent hose, leaking fuel cap, or fill
neck should set a OTC P0440. A small leak in the
EVAPsystem should set a OTC P0442 An EVAP vent
valve stuck closed, a restricted vent hose, or a
blocked EV AP canister should set a OTC P0446. A
continuous purge condition with no purge commanded
by the PCM (EV AP purge valve stuck open or
leaking) should set a OTC P1441. Refer to the OTC
tables for further diagnostic procedures regarding
the EVAP system.

Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
Cracked or punctured EV AP canister
Damaged or disconnected source vacuum line,
EV AP purge line, vent hose or fuel tank
vapor line.
" Poor connection at the PCM
Inspect harness connectors for backed out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal to wire connection.
.. Damaged harness. Inspect the wiring harness to
the EVAP vent valve, the EVAP purge valve,
and the fuel tank pressure sensor for an
intermittent open or short circuit.
Kinked, pinched or plugged vacuum source,
EVAP purge, or fuel tank vapor line. Verify that the
lines are not restricted.
" Use the following procedure to check for a carbon
release condition that could plug the system.
1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Remove the EV AP canister purge valve. Refer
to EVAP Canister Purge Valve Replacement.
3. Lightly tap the canister purge valve on a clean
work area looking for carbon particles exiting
either of the vacuum ports.

4. If no car.ban release is evident, reinstall the


components and continue with the OTC P0440
diagnostic table. If carbon is being released
from either component, continue with this
service procedure.
5. Remove the charcoal canister from the vehicle.
6. Ensure that the main cylinder valve is turned
off on the J 41413 EVAP purge/pressure
diagnostic station.
7. Disconnect the black hose that connects the
nitrogen cylinder to the J 41413 EVAP
purge/pressure diagnostic station at the
pressure regulator by unscrewing the knurled
nut on the regulator. No tools are required
to remove the black hose from the regulator.
8. Using a section of vacuum line, connect
one end over the open threaded fitting of the
EVAP purge/pressure diagnostic station
pressure regulator.

9. Connect the. remaining end to the purge valve


end of the EVAP purge line at the vehicle and
turn on the.main nitrogen cylinder valve.
Continue to blow any debris from the purge
line for 15 seconds.
10. Return the J 41413 EVAP pressure/purge
diagnostic station to its original condition by
reinstalling the black hose that was
disconnected in step 7.
11. Replace the following components:
The EVAP canister purge valve. Refer to
EVAP. Canister Purge Valve
Replacement.

.. The EVAP canister. Refer to EVAP


Canister Replacement.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table:
1. The Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic (OBD)
System Check prompts you to complete some of
the basic checks and store the Freeze Frame
and Failure Records Data on the scan tool
if applicable .
2. If a vent valve or EV AP purge valve electrical
malfunction is present, the purge system will
not operate correctly. Repairing the electrical
malfunction that caused the DTC to set will very
likely correct the condition.

3. Inspects for a fuel tank pressure sensor stuck


high condition. The fuel tank pressure must
be relieved by removing the canister line from the
purge valve. The fuel fill cap will not relieve the
fuel tank pressure due to a check valve in the filler
neck. The check valve seals when pressure is
applied to prevent vapors from escaping through
the filler neck. The scan tool should read
within 1.0 inch H20 of the specified value.
4. Inspects for a large leak in the EVAP system.

Engine

Installation Procedure
Important: A special anti-seize compound is used on
the heated oxygen sensor threads. The compound
consists of graphite suspended in fluid and glass
beads. The graphite will burn away, but the glass
beads will remain, making the sensor easier to
remove. New or service sensors will already have the
compound applied to the threads. If a sensor is
removed from an engine and if for any reason is to be
reinstalled, the threads must have anti seize
compound applied before reinstallation.

Fill limiter Vent Valve Replacement


Removal Procedure
Caution: Relieve the fuel system pressure before
servicing fuel system components in order to
reduce the risk of fire and personal injury.
After relieving the system pressure, a small
amount of fuel may be.released when servicing
the fuel lines or connections. In order to reduce the
chance of personal injury, cover the regulator
and the fuel line fittings with a shop towel before
disconnecting. This will catch any fuel that
may leak out. Place the towel in an approved
container when the disconnection is complete.
Caution: Gasoline or gasoline vapors are highly
flammable. A fire could occur if an ignition source
is present. Never drain or store gasoline or
diesel fuel in an open container, due to the
possibility of fire or explosion. Have a dry chemical
(Class B) fire extinguisher nearby.
Caution: Always wear safety goggles when
working with fuel in order to protect the eyes from
fuel splash.
Notice: Cap the fittings and plug the holes when
servicing the fuel system in order to prevent dirt and
other contaminants from entering the open pipes

and passages.

fuel resistant hose which is identified with the word
Fluoroelastomer or GM 6163-M on the hose.
The inside hose diameter must match the outside pipe
diameter.
Do Not use rubber hose within 100 mm (4 in) of any
part of the exhaust system or within 254 mm (10 in) of
the catalytic converter.
A minimum of 13 mm (1/2 in) clearance must be
maintained around sharp edges such as flanges, pinch
welds, etc., in order to prevent contact and chafing.
A minimum of 19 mm (% in) clearance must be
maintained around all moving parts.

Cut the ends of the pipe remaining on the car square
with a tube cutter. Using the first step of a double
flaring tool, form a bead on the end of both pipe
sections. If the pipe is too corroded to withstand the
beading operation without damage, the pipe should be
replaced. If a new section of pipe is used, form a
bead on both ends of the pipe also.
Use screw type hose clamps. Slide the clamps onto
the pipe and push the hose 51 mm (2 in) onto
each portion of the fuel pipe.
If more than a 6 in length of pipe is removed, use a
combination of steel pipe and hose so that the
total hose lengths, including the 100 mm (4 in)
additional length will not be more than 254 mm (10 in)
long. Follow the same routing as the original pipe.

Description and Operation


18X Reference PCM Input

Powertrain Control Module Description

From the ignition control module, the PCM uses this


signal to calculate engine RPM and crankshaft position
at engine speeds below 1200 RPM. The PCM also
uses the pulses on this circuit to initiate injector pulses.
If the PCM receives no pulses on this circuit,
DTC P0336 will set and the PCM will use the
3X reference signal circuit at all times for fuel and
ignition control. The engine will continue to start and
run using the 3X reference signal only.

A/C Refrigerant Pressure Sensor


The A/C refrigerant pressure sensor signal indicates
high side refrigerant pressure to the PCM. The
PCM uses this information to adjust the idle air control
valve to compensate for the higher engine loads
present with high A/C refrigerant pressures and 10
control the cooling fans. A fault in the A/C refrigerant
pressure sensor signal will cause DTC P0530
to set.

A/C Request PCM Input


187237

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is the control


center of the vehicle. It controls the following items:
Fuel metering system.
Transaxle/transmission shifting.
Ignition timing.
" On-board diagnostics for powertrain functions.
It constantly monitors the information from various
sensors, and controls the systems that affect vehicle
performance. The PCM also performs the diagnostic
function of the system. It can recognize operational
problems, alert the driver through the MIL, and store
diagnostic trouble codes which identify the problem
areas to aid the technician in making repairs.
The type of PCM used is a PCM 32U. The knock
sensor system is no longer a separate component. The
PCM contains integrated knock sensor (KS) diagnostic
circuitry. For further information, refer to Knock
Sensor (KS) System Description.

Information Sensors/Switches Description


3X Reference PCM Input
From the ignition control module, the PCM uses this
signal to calculate engine RPM and crankshaft position
at engine speeds above 1200 RPM. The PCM also
uses the pulses on this circuit to initiate injector pulses.
If the PCM receives no pulses on this circuit,
DTC P1374 will set and the PCM will use the
18X reference signal circuit for fuel and ignition control.
The engine will continue to start and run using the
18X reference signal only.

The A/C request signal indicates to the PCM that A/C


mode is selected at the A/C control head. The
PCM uses this information to adjust the idle speed
before turning ON the A/C clutch. If this signal is not
available to the PCM, the A/C compressor will be
inoperative.

Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor

The crankshaft position sensor provides a sigr:,al used


by the ignition control module to calculate ignition
sequence. The ignition control module also uses the
crankshaft position sensor signals to initiate 18X
and 3X reference pulses which the PCM uses
as reference to calculate RPM and crankshaft position.

Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor and CAM


Signal
The camshaft position sensor sends a cam signal to
the PCM which uses it as a sync pulse to trigger
the injectors in proper sequence. The CAM signal is
passed through the ignition control module. It is filtered
and buffered by the ignition control module, but the
signal is not processed in any other way. The
PCM uses the CAM signal to indicate the position of
the #1 piston during its power stroke. This allows
the PCM to calculate true Sequential Fuel
Injection (SFI) mode of operation. If the PCM detects
an incorrect CAM signal while the engine is running,
DTC P0341 will set.
If the CAM signal is lost while the engine is running,
the fuel injection system will shift to a calculated
sequential fuel injection mode based on the last fuel
injection pulse, and the engine will continue to run. The
engine can be restarted and will run in the calculated
sequential mode as long as the fault is present
with a 1 in 6 chance of injector sequence being correct.

Clutch Anticipate Switch (Manual Transaxle)


The Clutch Anticipate Switch input allows the
PCM!fAC to adjust the idle when the manual
transmission clutch is being disengaged. The PCM
monitors the Clutch Anticipate Switch input; if a
low voltage is monitored, the PCM considers the
Clutch Anticipate Switch closed to ground (clutch pedal
released). When the ground at the Clutch Anticipate
Switch input is interrupted (clutch pedal applied),
the PCM will immediately decrease idles. This is done
to avoid a possible RPM flare caused by the sudden
change in engine load.

Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) PCM Serial Data (CKT 800)
The PCM uses the UART seria.l data line (CKT 800) to
communicate with variou.s other components and
systems within the vehicle. The PCM receives rough
road information from the EBCM on the serial data
circuit The PCM uses the rough road information to
enhance the misfire diagnostic by detecting crankshaft
speed variations caused by driving on rough road
surfaces. This allows false misfire information to be
rejected. The EBTCM I EBCM calculates rough
road information by monitoring the ABS wheel speed
sensors. If a malfunction occurs which does not
allow the EBTCM I EBCM to transmit correct rough
road information to the PCM while a misfire OTC
is requesting the MIL, OTC P1380 will set. If a loss of
communications occurs which causes the PCM to
not receive rough road information while a misfire OTC
is requesting the MIL, OTC P1381 will set.

6-1301

high when the engine is cold, and low when the


engine is hot. By measuring the voltage, the PCM
calculates the engine coolant temperature. The scan
tool displays engine coolant temperature in degrees.
After engine startup, the temperature should rise
steadily to about 90C (194F) then stabilize when
thermostat opens. If the engine has not been run for
several hours (overnight), the engine coolant
temperature and intake air temperature displays
should be close to each other.
Engine coolant temperature affects most systems the

sensor circuit should set OTC P0117 or OTC P0118;
an intermittent fault should set a OTC P1114 or P1115.
This section also contains a specification table to

check for sensor resistance values relative to


temperature.

EGR Pintle Position Sensor


The PCM monitors the EGR valve pintle position input
to ensure that the valve responds properly to
commands from the PCM and to detect a fault if the
pintle position sensor and control circuits are open
or shorted. If the PCM detects a pintle position signal
voltage outside the normal range of the pintle
position sensor, or a signal voltage that is not within a
tolerance considered acceptable for proper EGR
system operation, the PCM will set OTC P1404. Refer

of the EGR system.

Heated Oxygen Sensors

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor

14490
42212

The engine coolant temperature sensor is a thermistor


(a resistor which chang~s value based on temperature)
mounted in the engine coolant stream. Low coolant
temperature produces a high resistance
(100,000 ohms at -40C/-40F) while high temperature
causes low resistance (70 ohms at 130C/266F).
The PCM supplies a 5 volt signal to the engine coolant
temperature sensor through a resistor in the PCM
and measures the voltage. The voltage will be

The fuel control Heated Oxygen Sensors (Bank 1


H02S 1 and Bank 2 H02S 1) are mounted in
the exhaust manifolds where they can monitor the
oxygen content of the exhaust gas stream. The oxygen
present in the exhaust gas reacts with the sensor to
produce a voltage output. This voltage should
constantly fluctuate from approximately 1OOmV (high
oxygen content - lean mixture) to 900mV (low
oxygen content - rich mixture). The heated oxygen
sensor voltage can be monitored with a scan tool.

6-1302

Engine Controls - 3.8L

By monitoring the voltage output of the oxygen


sensor, the PCM can calculate what fuel mixture
command to send the injectors (lean mixture-low
H02S voltage= rich command, rich mixture-high
H02S voltage= lean command).
An open Bank 1 H02S 1 circuit should set a
OTC P0134; an open in Bank 2 H02S 1. circuit should
set a OTC P0154. With an open H02S signal, the .
scan tool will display a constant vqltage between
400 - 500mV. A constant voltage below 300mV in the
Bank 1 H02S i sensor circuit (circuit grounded)
should set OTC P0131. A constant voltage below
300mV in the Bank 2 H02S 1 sensor circuit (circuit
grounded) should set OTC P0151. A constant voltage
above 800mV in the Bank 1 H02S 1 circuit should
set OTC P0132, while a constant voltage above
800mV in the Bank 2 H02S 1 circuit should set
OTC P0152. A fault in the Bank 1 H02S 1 heater
circuit should cause OTC P0135 to set. A fault in the
Bank 2 H02S 1 heater circuit should cause
OTC P0155 to set. The PCM can also detect H02S
response problems. If the response time of an H02S is
determined to be too slow, the PCM will store a
OTC that indicates degraded H02S performance.
To control emissions of Hydrocarbons (HC), Carbon
Monoxide (CO), and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), a
three-way catalytic converter is used. The catalyst
within the converter promotes a chemical reaction
which oxidizes the HC and CO present in the exhaust
gas, converting them into harmless water vapor
and carbon dioxide. The catalyst also reduces NOx,
converting it to nitrogen. The PCM has the ability
to monitor this process using the Bank 1 H02S 2.
The Bank 1 H02S 1 or Bank 2 H02S 1 produces an
output signal which indicates the amount of oxygen
present .in the exhaust gas entering the three-way
catalytic converter. The Bank 1 H02S 2 sensor
produces an output signal which indicates the oxygen
storage capacity of the catalyst; this in turn indicates
the catalyst's ability to convert exhaust gases
efficiently. If the catalyst is operating efficiently, the
Bank 1 H02S 1 and the Bank 2 sensor 1 signals will
be far more active than that produced by the
Bank 1 H02S 2 sensor.
Although the Bank 1 H02S 2 sensors' main function is
catalyst monitoring, they also plays a limited role in
fuel control. If the sensor output indicates a voltage
either above or below the 450 millivolt bias voltage for
an extended period of time, the PCM will make a
slight adjustment to fuel trim to ensure that fuel
delivery is correctfor catalyst monitoring.
A problem with the Bank 1 H02S 2 signal circuit
should set OTC P0137, P0138 or P0140 depending on
the specific condition. A fault in the heated oxygen
sensor heater element or its ignition feed or ground will
result in slower oxygen sensor response. This may
cause erroneous catalyst monitor diagnostic results. A
fault in the Bank 1 H02S 2 heater circuit should
cause OTC P0141 to set.

Engine
Intake Air Temperature Sensor

21677

The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is a


thermi.stor which changes .value based on the
temperature of air entering the engine. Low
temperature produces a high resistance
(100,000 ohms at -40C/,4QF), while high temperature
causes low resistance (70 ohms at 130C/266F).

The PCM supplies a 5 volt signal to the sensor through


a resistor in the PCM and measures the voltage.
The voltage .will be high when the incoming air is cold,
and low when the.air is hot. By measuring the
voltage, the PCM calculates the incoming air
temperature.
The IAT sensor signal is used to adjust spark timing
according to incoming air density. The scan tool
displays temperature of the air entering the engine,
which should read close to ambient air temperature
when engine is cold, and rise as underhood
temperature increases. If the engine has not been run
.for several hours (overnight) the IAT sensor
temperature and engine coolant temperature should
read close to each other. A failure in the IAT
sensor circuit should set OTC P0112 or OTC P0113.

(.

Reference low
This is a ground circuit for the digital RPM counter
inside the PCM, but the wire is connected to engine
ground only through the ignition control module.
Although this circuit is electrically connected to the
PCM, it is not connected to ground at the PCM. The
PCM compares voltage pulses on the 18X and
3X reference input circuits to any on this circuit,
ignoring pulses that appear on both. If the circuit is
open, or connected to ground at the PCM, it may
cause poor engine performance and possibly a MIL
with no OTC set.

Engine Controls - 3.8l

Knock Sensors
The knock sensors detect abnormal vibration (spark
knocking) in the engine. The sensors are mounted in
the engine block near the cylinders. The knock sensors
produce an AC voltage signal under all engine
operating conditions. The PCM adjusts the Ignition
Control (IC) spark timing based on the amplitude and
frequency of the KS signal being received.
The PCM contains integrated Knock Sensor (KS)
diagnostic circuitry. The PCM uses the circuitry
to diagnose the KS sensors and related wiring. The
PCM calculates an average voltage of each knock
sensor's signals and takes instantaneous signal
voltage readings. The PCM uses the instantaneous
signal voltage readings to determine the state of
the knock sensor circuitry. If the knock sensor system
is operating normally, the PCM should monitor
instantaneous KS signal voltage readings varying
outside a voltage range above and below the
calculated average voltage. If the PCM malfunctions in
a manner which will not allow proper diagnosis of
the KS circuit OTC P0325 will set. DTCs P0327 and
P0332 are designed to diagnose the knock sensors,
and related wiring, so problems encountered with
the KS system should set a DTC.

delivery. A large quantity of air indicates acceleration,
while a small quantity indicates deceleration or idle.
The scan tool displays the MAF value in grams
per second (gm/s). At idle, MAF should read between
4 gm/s -7 gm/son a fully warmed up engine. Values
should change rather quickly on acceleration, but
values should remain fairly stable at any given RPM.
A MAF sensor malfunction or MAF signal circuit
problem should set OTC P0101, OTC P0102, or
DTC P0103.

Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor

Mass Air Flow Sensor

21663

The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor


responds to changes in intake manifold pressure
(vacuum). The MAP sensor signal voltage to the PCM
varies from below 2 volts at idle (high vacuum) to
above 4 volts with the key ON, engine not running or
at wide-open throttle (low vacuum). The MAP
sensor is used to determine manifold pressure
changes while the linear EGR flow test diagnostic is
being run, to determine engine vacuum level for other
diagnostics and to determine barometric
pressure (BARO).

15006

The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor measures the


amount of air which passes through the throttle body.
The PCM uses this information to determine the

6-1304

If the PCM detects a voltage that is lower than the


possible range of the MAP sensor, OTC P0107 will be
set. A signal voltage higher than the possible range
of the sensor will set OTC P0108. An intermittent
low or high voltage will set OTC P1107 or P1.106
respectively. The PCM can also detect a shifted MAP
sensor. The PCM compares the MAP sensor signal
to a calculated MAP based on throttle position
and various engine load factors If the PCM detects a
MAP signal that varies excessively abov.e or below
the calculated value, OTC P0106 will set.

TCC Brake Switch


The TCC brake switch signal indicates when the brake
pedal is applied. The TCC brake switch information
is used by the PCM mainly to control the transmission
torque converter clutch. This switch is used as a
redundant input to the PCM on vehicles equipped with :
manual transmissions and if faulty, could cause a
OTC P1586 to set.

Transmission Temperature Sensor


The transmission fluid temperature sensor is a
thermistor which changes value based on the
temperature of the transmission fluid. A high
transmission fluid temperature may cause the vehicle
to operate in Hot Mode. While in Hot Mode, shift
points may be altered, 4th gear disabled, and TCC
forced ON in 2nd gear.
A failure in the TFT sensor or associated wiring
should cause OTC P0712 or P0713 to set. In this case,
engine coolant temperature will be substituted for
the TFT sensor value, and the transmission will
operate normally.

PCM Controlled Warning lamps


Description
MIL Operation
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is located on the
instrument panel (CHECK ENGINE) or (SERVICE
ENGINE SOON). The MIL performs the following
functions:
" It informs the driver that a problem has occurred
and that the vehicle should be taken for service
as soon as possible.
" As a bulb check and system check, the MIL will
illuminate with the ignition switch ON and the
engine not running. when the engine is started, the
MIL will turn OFF. If the MIL remains ON, the
self-diagnostic system has detected a problem. If
the problem goes away, the MIL will turn OFF
in most cases, but a diagnostic trouble code will
remain stored.
" If the MIL is illuminated, then the engine stalls, the
MIL will remain Illuminated so long as the ignition
switch is ON.
Now, if the MIL is not illuminated and the engine
stalls, the MIL will not illuminate until the ignition
switch is cycled OFF, then ON.

low Oil level lamp


The PCM commands the Low Oil L:.evel Lamp ON if
the engine oil level sensor ind.icates that a low oil level
condition exists. The PCM determines whether or
not to test for low oil level based onthe difference
between engine coolant temperature at the last
shutdown and engine coolant temperature at startup.
This is to ensure that the oil has drained back into
the oil pan before testing.
The engine oil I.eve! switch is a simple float switch that
is grounded when the engine oil level is OK .. When
the ignition is first turned ON, .the PCM commands the
Low Oil Level lamp ON for a brief period of time to
test the bulb (approximately 3 seconds). The PC.M also
checks the engine oil level switch cir.cuit at startup.
If the engine has been running, the PCM performs a
test routine based on .engine coolant tell)perature
to ensure that the engine oil drained back into
the sump before checking the state of the engine oil
level switch. If the engine coolant temperature is
between 15C (59F) and 130C (266F), the PCM
compares the engine coolant temperature at the
last key OFF to the engine. coolant temperature at the
current key ON. If the difference between the
recorded temperature values is at least 12c (54'F),
the PCM will test the engine oil level.

Generator Lamp
The PCM commands the generator lamp ON under
the following conditions:
When the engine speed is greater than 1200 rpm
and system voltage falls below 10 volts for
longer than 1O seconds. The PCM commands the
generator lamp OFF when system voltage rises
to above 12 volts.
.
When the generator control circuit (L terminal)
remains low for longer than 10 seconds.

Second Gear Lamp (4L60E Transaxle 011iy)


The PCM supplies 12 volts to the second gear
start switch through a pull-up resistor. The
second gear start switch is a normally open switch.
The PCM senses a high input voltage, commands
normal transaxle shifting, and the secbnd gear start
lamp is not illuminated. When the second gear
start switch is closed, the input voltage to the PCM is
pulled low: The PCM turns the second gear lamp
ON and commands the to vehicle begin in second gear

PCM Controlled Air Conditioning


Description
Operation

)
.

The air conditioning system uses a compressor with


variable displacement. This compressor is referred
to as the V-5 type compressor. The V-5 compressor
meet.s A/C requirements without cycling. The A/C
compressor operation is controlled by the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) for the following reasons:
.. Improved idle quality during compressor
clutch engagement.
Improved wide open throttle performance (WOT).
" Protects the A/C compressor from operation
with incorrect refrigerant pressures.
The A/C clutch electrical system consists of the
following components:
The A/C control head and/or the A/C programmer.
The A/C refrigerant pressure sensor.
The A/C compressor clutch.
The A/C compressor clutch relay.
The PCM.
When an A/C mode is selected at the A/C control
head, the A/C programmer provides a 12 volt signal to
the A/C request circuit. The PCM monitors the A/C
request circuit and controls the A/C compressor relay
based on the A/C request signal. This allows the
PCM to increase the engine idle speed just prior to
A/C clutch engagement for better idle quality. In
addition, the PCM will command the cooling fans ON
during A/C operation. The PCM also monitors the
A/C refrigerant pressure sensor circuit. If the A/C
refrigerant pressure is too high or low, the PCM will
disable the A/C compressor relay.
The PCM will enable the A/C compressor clutch
whenever the engine is running and the A/C ha.s been
requested unless one or more of the following
conditions are present:
Throttle angle is more than 90%.
AJC head pressure is more than 414 psi
(4.27 volts) or less than 34 psi (0.35 volt) as
determined by the A/C refrigerant pressure sensor.
Ignition voltage is less than 10.5 volts.
Engine speed is more than 5400 RPM for any
amount of time.
Engine speed is more than 4500 RPM for longer
than 5 seconds.
ECT is more than 125C (257F).
IAT is less than 5C (41F).
Any of the conditions described above will inhibit A/C
compressor relay operation.

Diagnosis

OTC P0530, P0560 or P1639 can affect A/C operation.


Refer to the OTC tables if any DTCs are set.
The A/C Clutch Control Circuit Diagnosis table should
be used for diagnosing the electrical portion of the
A/C compressor clutch circuit if a OTC is not set. To
diagnose the refrigerant portion of the HVAC

system, refer to the Heater, Ventilation, and Air
Conditioning (HVAC) section. A scan tool will be used
in diagnosing the system. The scan tool has the
ability to display the A/C request and refrigerant
pressure inputs to the PCM. The scan tool can display
when the PCM has commanded the A/C clutch ON.
The scan tool also has the ability to override the
A/C request signal and energize the A/C control relay.

Engine Cooling Fan Description Electric


Operation
The Powertrain Control Module. (PCM) controls the
operation of the cooling fans. This is accomplished by
providing a ground path for the cooling fan relay
coils within the PCM. The relay contacts will close and
complete the circuit between the fusible link at the
battery junction block and the fan motors. Whenever
there is a fan ON request both fans will be running.
Power for the fan motors is supplied through a fusible
link at the battery junction block. Battery positive
voltage is applied to the cooling fan relay contacts and
coils. The cooling fan relays are energized when
current flows through the relay coils to ground at the
PCM. The cooling fan relay #1 control circuit is
used for low speed cooling fan operation. The cooling
fan relay #1 control circuit and the cooling fan
relay #2 and #3 control circuit are both grounded for
high speed fan operation. The cooling fan relay control
circuits are monitored by the PCM. Before using the
Electric Cooling Fans diagnostic tables be sure to
perform the Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic System
Check. If diagnostic trouble codes P0480 or P0481
are present, use the appropriate OTC diagnostic tables
prior to performing Electric Cooling Fans diagnostics.
Important: When certain Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTCs) are present, the PCM may command
the cooling fans to run all the time. It is important
to perform the Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic System
check prior to diagnosing the engine cooling fans.
The PCM will complete the ground path for cooling fan
relay #1 under any of the following conditions:
When engine coolant temperature exceeds
105C (221 F).
When A/C is requested and ambient temperature
is more than 10C (50F).
When A/C refrigerant pressure is more than
190psi (2volts).
For high speed cooling fans operation, the PCM will
delay control of the cooling fan #2 and #3 relays
for 6 seconds. The 6 second delay ensures that the
cooling fan electrical load will not exceed the capacity
of the system. The PCM will complete the ground
paths for cooling fan relays #1, #2, and #3 under any
of the following conditions:
O

When engine coolant temperature exceeds


113C (235F).

" When A/C refrigerant pressure is more than

Diagnosis
If a problem that involves the low speed cooling fan
relay control circuit (cooling fan relay #1 control) exists,
DTC P0480 should set. If the problem affects the
high speed cooling fan relay control circuit (cooling fan
relay #2 and #3 control), OTC P0481 should set. A
problem with the ECT sensor should set OTC P0117,
P0118, P1114, or P1115. Any of these DTCs will
affect cooling fan operation and should be diagnosed
before using the Electric Cooling Fan Diagnosis
table. The Electric Cooling Fan Diagnosis table should
be used to diagnose the PCM controlled cooling
fans only if no DTC is set.

PCM Controlled Generator Description


The generator provides voltage to operate the vehicles
electrical system and to charge the vehicles battery.
A magnetic field is created when current flows through
the rotor.
This field rotates as the rotor is driven by the engine,
creating an AC voltage in the stator windings. The
AC voltage is converted to DC voltage by the rectifier
bridge and is supplied to the electrical system at
the battery terminal.
The operation of the charging system is monitored by
the PCM. The PCM monitors the charging system
loads and adjusts the idle speed accordingly. The PCM
also sends information to the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) when the charging system is inoperative
and tells the IPC to illuminate the volts telltale lamp.
The PCM supplies 5 V through the L circuit to the
generator. If the generator becomes inoperative, the
PCM can detect the fault through the L circuit and tell
the IPC to illuminate the volts telltale lamp.
The PCM also monitors the duty cycle of the generator
through the L circuit. As the generator load increases,
the PCM will adjust the idle speed accordingly. If
the IPC does not see any activity from the PCM the
IPC will illuminate the volts telltale lamp.
If the Voltage telltale is on and the (L) terminal voltage
is low while the PCM is commanding the generator
on for more than 30 seconds OR
If the Voltage telltale is on and the PWM is less than
5% while engine RPM is less than 2500 for more
than 30 seconds OTC P0620 will set.
If the Voltage telltale is on but no DTCs are set, use
the PCM Controlled Generator Diagnosis to diagnose
the problem.

Generator Assembly
The generator assembly is mounted to the front of the
engine on the passenger side of the vehicle. The
CS-type generator uses an internal regulator which
features built-in fault detection. The generator used on
this vehicle, is not to be disassembled for service.

Fuel Supply Component Description


System Overview
The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. An electric fuel
pump, located in the fuel tank within the modular fuel
sender assembly, pumps fuel through an in-line

fuel filter to the fuel rail assembly. The pump provides


fuel pressure greater than is needed by the injectors.
The fuel pressure regulator keeps fuel available to the
injectors at a regulated pressure. A separate fuel
pipe is used to return fuel to the fuel tank.

Fuel Tank Vent Valve


The fuel tank vent valve is located in the rear of the
vehicle near the fuel tank. The fuel tank vent valve is a
pressure/vacuum relief valve. When the fuel tank
pressure exceeds a specified pressure, the valve
opens allowing the tank pressure to bleed off. When
the fuel tank is in a vacuum condition, the vent
valve opens when the vacuum is within a specified
range allowing fresh air to be pulled in.

Fuel Tank
The fuel tank stores the fuelsupply. The fuel tank is
located in the rear of the vehicle. The fuel tank is held
in place by two metal straps that attach to the frame.
The fuel tank is made. of steel and is coated internally
with a special corrosion inhibitor.

Fuel Tank Filler Pipe


The fuel tank filler pipe has a built-in restrictor and
deflector, .in order to prevent refueling with leaded fuel.

Fuel Filler Cap

173450

Notic~: If a fuel tank filler cap requires replacement,


use only a fuel tank filler cap with the same features.
Failure to use the correct fuel tank. filler cap can
result in a serious malfunction of the fuel and EVAP
system.
The fuel tank filler neck is equipped with a tethered
fuel filler cap. The cap requires a quarter of a
turn to remove it. A built in torque-limiting device
prevents over tightening. In order to install the cap,
turn the cap clockwise until you hear three audible
clicks. This signals that the correct torque has been
reached and the cap is fully seated. A fuel filler
cap that is not fully seated may cause a malfunction in
the emission system.

Fuel level Sensor

49371

The fuel pump is mounted in the fuel reservoir within


the modular fuel sender. The fuel pump is an
electric high pressure gerotor pump. The fuel is
pumped to the fuel rail at a specified flow and
pressure. Excess fuel returns to the fuel tank by a
return pipe. The fuel pump delivers a constant flow 6f
fuel to the engine even during low fuel conditions
and aggressive vehicle maneuvers. The electric fuel
pump operation is controlled by the Powe.rtrain Control
Module (PCM) through a fuel pump relay. The fuel
pump flex pipe acts to dampen the fuel pulses
and noise generated by the fuel pump. The fuel pump
is serviced as part of the Modular Fuel Sender.

Fuel Pressure Regulator Assembly


The fuel pressure regulator attaches to the fuel rail on
the fuel return side. The fuel pressure is a diaphragm
operated relief valve and is referenced to manifold
vacuum. If the fuel pressure is too low, poor
performance could result. If the pressure is to high,
excessive odor and a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
may result.

50562

The Fuel Level Sensor consists of the following


components: float, the wire float arm, and the ceramic
resistor card. The Fuel Level Sensor is mounted on
the Modular Fuel Sender Assembly and is used as an

as a fuel level input for Various diagnostics. In addition
the PCM transmits the fuel level over the Class II
communication circuit to the IP cluster. This
information is used for the IP Fuel Gauge, and low
Fuel Warning indicator if applicable.

The fuel tank pressure sensor is used to detect small


.leaks in the evaporative emission system. The fuel
tank pressure sensor is a three wire strain gauge
sensor much like that of the common GM MAP sensor.
However, this sensor has very different electrical
characteristics due to its pressure differential design.
The sensor measures the difference between the
air pressure (or vacuum) in the fuel tank and
the outside air pressure. The sensor mounts at the top
of the fuel tank. A three wire electrical harness
connects it to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The PCM supplies a five volt reference voltage
and ground to the sensor. The sensor will return a
voltage between 0.1 and 4.9 volts. When the air
pressure in the fuel tank is equal to the outside air
pressure, such aswhen.the fuel fill cap is removed, the
output voltage of the sensor will be 1.3 to 1.7 volts.

Fuel Feed and Return Pipes
)

The fuel feed pipe carries fuel from the fuel tank to the
fuel rail assembly. The fuel return pipe carries ful3I
from the fuel rail assembly back to the fuel tank. The
fuel feed and return pipes consist of three sections:
The rear fuel pipe assemblies are located from
the top of the fuel tank to the chassis fuel
pipes. The rear fuel pipes are constructed of nylon.
The chassis fuel pipes are located under the
vehicle and connect the rear fuel pipes to
the engine compartment connecting fuel pipes.
These pipes are constructed of steel.
The engine compartment connecting fuel pipes
connect the chassis pipes to the engine fuel
rail. These fuel pipes are constructed of nylon.

Engine Controls - 3.8l

5;..1309

Nylon fuel pipes are somewhat flexible and can be


formed around gradual turns .under the vehicle.
However, if nylon fuel pipes are forced into sharp
bends, the pipes will kink and restrict the fuel
flow. Also, once exposed to fuel, nylon pipes may
become stiffer and are more likely to kink if b~nt too
far. Take .special care when working on a vehicle with
nylon tu.el pipe!3.

Quick-Connect Fittings
Quick-connect fittings provide a simplifi.ed means of
instaHing and connecting fuel system components'. The
fittings consist of a unique female connector and a
compatible male pipe end. 0-rings,located inside the
female connector, provide the fuel seal. Integral
locking tabs or fingers hold the fittings together.

Caution: In order to Reduce the Risk of Fire and


Personal Injury:
If nylon fuel pipes are nicked, scratched or
damaged during installation, Do Not attempt to
repair the sections of the nylon fuel pipes;
Replace them.
When installing new fuel pipes, Do.Not
hammer directly on the fuel hames$ body clips
as it may damage the nylon pipes resulting
in ;{possible fuel leak.
Always cover nylon vapor pipes with a wet
towel before using a torch near them. Also,
never expose the vehicle to temperatures
higher than 1.15C (239F) for more than ..
one hour, or more than 90C (194F) for any
eKtended period.
Before connecting fuel pipe fittings, always
apply a few drops of clean engine oil to
the male pipe ends. This will ensure proper
reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak.
(During normal operation, the O~rings
located in the female connector will swell and
may prevent proper reconnection if not
lubricated.)
Nylon fuel pipes are designed to perform the same job
as the steel or flexible fuel pipes or hose.s that they

Fuel Metering Modes of Operation


Purpose
The basic function of the air/fuel metering system is to
control air/fuel delivery to the engine. The best
air/fuel mixture to minimize exhauste111issions is
14.7 to 1, which allows the catalytic converter
to operate most efficiently. Fuel is delivered to the
engine by individual fuel injectors mounted in
the intake manifold near each intake valve.
The main control sensor is the Heated Oxygen Sensor
(H02S), located in the exhaust manifold. The H02S
telis the Powerfrain Control Module (PCM) how
much oxygen is in the exhaust gas and the PCM
changes the air/fuel ratio to the engine by controlling
the fuel injector on time. Because of the constant
measuring and adjusting of the air/fuel ratio, the fuel
injection system is called a Closed Loop system.

Modes of Operation
The PCM monitors voltages from several sensors to
determine the engine's fuel needs; Fuel is delivered
under one of several conditions called modes. All
modes are controlled by the PCM and are
described below.

Starting Mode
When the ignition is first turned ON the PCM energizes
the fuel pump relay for two seconds, allowing the
fuel pump to build up pressure. The PCM then. checks
the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor and
the Throttle Position (TP) sensor. During cranking, the
PCM checks the crankshaft position signal in order
to determine the proper air/fuel ratio for starting.
The PCM controls the amount of fuel delivered in the
starting mode by changing how long the fuel
injectors are energized. This is done by pulsing th.e
fuel injectors for very short times.

Run Mode

Catalytic Converter Protection Mode

The run mode has two conditions called Open Loop


and Closed Loop.
When the engine is first started and engine speed is
above 725 RPM, the system is in Open Loop
operation. In Open Loop the PCM ignores the signal
from the Heated Oxygen Sensor (H02S), and
calculates the air/fuel ratio based on inputs from the
TP, ECT, and MAF sensors.
The system remains in Open Loop until the following
conditions are met:
The H02S has a varying voltage output showing
that it is hotenough to operate properly (this
depends on temperature).
The ECT has reached a specified temperature.
A specific amount of time has elapsed since
starting the engine.
The specific values for the above conditions vary with
different engines. When these conditions are met,
the system enters Closed Loop operation. In Closed
Loop the PCM changes fuel injector on-time based on
the signal from the H02S. This allows the air/fuel
ratio to stay very close to 14.7:1.

The PCM constantly monitors engine operation and


estimates conditions that could result i.n high ca1alytic
converter temperatures. If the PCM determines the
catalytic converter may overheat, it causes the system
to return to Open Loop operation and enriches the
fuel mixture.

Acceleration Mode
The PCM provides extra fuel when it detects a rapid
increase in throttle position and air flow.

Deceleration Mode
The PCM reduces the amount of fuel injected when it
detects a decrease in throttle position and air flow.
When deceleration is very fast, the PCM may cut off
fuel completely for short periods.

Battery Voltage.Corrction Mode


When battery voltage is low, the PCM will compensate
for the weak spark in the following ways:
Increasing the amount of fuel delivered.
Increasing the idle RPM.
Increasing ignition dwell time.

Fuel Metering System Component


Description
Basic System Operation
The fuel metering system starts with the fuel in the
fuel tank. An electric fuel pump, located in the fuel tank
with the gauge sending unit, pumps fuel to the fuel
rail through an in-pipe fuel filter. The fuel pump
is designed to provide fuel at a pressure above the
pressure needed by the fuel injectors. A fuel pressure
regulator in the fuel rail keeps fuel available to the
fuel injectors at a constant pressure. Unused fuel is
returned to the fuel tank by a separate pipe. For further
information on the fuel tank, in-pipe filter, and fuel
pipes, refer to Fuel Supply Component Description.

Throttle Body Unit


The throttle body has a throttle plate to control the
amount of air delivered to the engine. The MAF sensor
is mounted on the throttle body.

Fuel Rail

Fuel Cut Off Mode


The PCM has the ability to shut OFF the fuel injectors
completely or selectively when certain conditions
are met. This fuel shut off mode allows the powertrain
to protect itself from damage and also improve its
driveability.
The PCM will disable the injectors under the following
conditions.
Ignition OFF (prevents engine run-on).
Ignition ON but no ignition reference signal
(prevents flooding or backfiring) .
. High engine speed (above red line).
High vehicle speed (above rated tire speed).
Extended high speed closed throttle coastdown
(reduce emissions and increases engine braking).

Fuel RPM cut off ranges:


Important: These RPM cut off ranges may vary
according to PCM calibration, axle ratio, tire size, and
tire rating.
Park and Neutral - 4000 RPM
Reverse - 4000 RPM
Drive - 5950 RPM

The fuel rail (1) is mounted to the top of the engine and
distributes fuel to the individual fuel injectors (3). Fuel is
delivered to the fuel inlet tube of the fuel rail by the fuel
pipes. The fuel then goes through the fuel rail to the fuel
pressure regulator (2). The fuel pressure regulator
maintains a constant fuel pressure at the fuel injectors.
Remaining fuel is then returned to the fuel tank. Fuel
pressure can be observed using a fuel pressure gauge
at the fuel pressure gauge connection (4).

fuel pressure across the injectors at all times. The


pressure regulator compensates for engine load
by increasing fuel pressure as engine vacuum drops ..
The cartridge regulator is serviced as a separate
component. When servicing the fuel pressure
regulator, irn~ure that the 0-ring backup (3), large
0-ring (4), filter screen (5), and small 0-ring (7) are
properly placed on the pressure regulator.
If the fuel pressure is too low, poor performance and a
OTC P0171, could result. If the pressure is too high,
excessive odor.and a OTC P0172, may result. Refer to
Fuel System Pressure Testfor information on
diagnosing fuel pressure conditions.

13651

The Sequential Multiport Fuel. Injection (SFI) fuel


injector is a solenoid op~rated device controlled by the
PCM. The PCM energizes the solenoid which opens
a valve to allow fuel delivery.
The fuel is injected under pressure in a conical spray
pattern at the opening of the intake valve. Excess
.
fuel not used by the injectors passes through the fuel
pressure regulator before being returned to the
fuel tank.
A fuel injector which is stuck partly open will cause a
loss of fuel pressure after engine shut down,
causing long crank times to be noticed on some
engines.

Fuel Pressure Regulator

From the electronic ignition module, t.he PCM uses


this signal to calculate engine speed and crankshaft
position. The PCM compares pulses on this circuit
to reference low CKT 453. The PCM also uses
.
the pulses on this circuit to initiate fuel injector pulses.
If the PCM receives rio pulses on this circuit, no
fuel injection pulses will occur and the engine will
not run.

CAM Signal (CKT 630) .


The PCM uses this signal to. determine the position of
the #1 piston during its power stroke, allowing the
PCM to calculate true Sequential Multiport Fuel
Injection (SFI). A loss of this signal will set a
OTC P0341. If the CAM signal is lost while the engine
is running, the fuel injection system will shift to a
calculated sequential fuel injection based on the last
fuel injection pulse and the engine will continue to run.
The engine can be restarted and will run in the
calculated sequential mode as long as the fault is
present with a 1 in 6 chance .of being correct. Refer to
OTC P0341 Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
Pet1ormance.

Fuel Pump Electrical Circuit

Wheri the key is first turned ON the PCM energizes


the fuel pump relay for two seconds to build up the fuel
pressure quickly. If the engine is not started within
two seconds, the PCM shuts the fuel pump OFF and
waits until the engine is cranked. When the engine
is cranked and the RPM signal has been detected by
the PCM, the PCM supplies 12 volts to the fuel
pump relay in order to energize the electric. in-tank
fuel pump.
An inoperative fuel pump relay can result in a no start
condition.
An inoperative fuel pump would cause a no start
condition. A fuel pump which does not provide enough
pressure cari result in poor performance.

Short Term Fuel Trim Description


The short term fuel.trim is a PCM erasable memory
register. The neutral value for the short term fuel trim is
0%. Any deviation from 0% indicates the short term
fuel trim is changing the injector pulse width. The
amount of pulse width change depends on how far the
short term fuel trim value is from 0%. Ttie short
term fuel trim is rich when the scan tool indicates 99% .. The short fuel trim is lean when the scan
tool indicates 99%. The short term fuel trim changes
the pulse width by varying the Closed Loop factor
of the base pulse width equation. As the PCM monitors
the oxygen sensors input, it is constantly varying the
short term fuel trir:n value. The value is updated
very quickly, therefore, the short term fuel trim only
corrects for short term mixture trends. The correction
of long term mixture trends is the function of long
term fuel trim.

When the PCM determines that the Short Term Fuel


Trim is out of the operating range, the following
OTCs will set:
O OTC P0171 Bank 1 Lean.
OTC P0172 Bank 1 Rich.
OTC P0174 Bank 2 Lean.
OTC P0175 Bank 2 Rich.

Long Term Fuel Trim Description


The long term fuel trim is a matrix of cells arranged by
RPM and MAP. Each cell of the long term fuel trim
is a register like the short term fuel trim. As the engine
operating conditions change, the PCM will switch
from cell to cell to determine what long term fuel trim
factor to use in the base pulse width equation.
While in any given cell, the PCM also monitors the
short term fuel trim. If the short term fuel trim is
far enough from 0%, the PCM will change the long
term fuel trim value. Once the long term fuel trim value
is changed, it should force the short term fuel trim
back toward 0%. If the mixture is still not correct (as
judged by the H02S), the short term fuel trim will
continue to have a large deviation from the ideal 0%.
In this case, the long term fuel trim value will
continue to change until the short term fuel trim
becomes balanced. Both the short term fuel trim and
long term fuel trim have limits which vary by
calibration. If the mixture is off enough so that long
term fuel trim reaches the limit of its control and
still cannot correct the condition, the short term fuel
trim would also go to its limit of control in the
same direction. If the mixture is still not corrected by
both short term fuel trim and long term fuel trim at their
extreme values, a Fuel Trim Diagnostic Trouble
Code (OTC) will likely result. When the PCM
determines that the Long Term Fuel Trim is out of the
operating range, the following OTCs will set:
OTC P0171 Bank 1 Lean.
OTC P0172 Bank 1 Rich.
OTC P0174 Bank 2 Lean.
O
OTC P0175 Bank 2 Rich.
Under the conditions of power enrichment, the PCM
sets the short term fuel trim to 0% and freezes it there
until power enrichment is no longer in effect. This is

Engine
done so the Closed Loop factor and the long term fuel
trim will not try to correct tor the commanded
richness of power enrichment.

EVAP Control System Operation


Description
Enhanced EVAP System Operation
The basic Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control
system used on all vehicles is the charcoal canister
storage method. This method transfers fuel vapor from
the fuel tank to an activated carbon (charcoal)
storage device (canister) to hold the vapors when the
vehicle is not operating. When the engine is running,
the fuel vapor is purged from the carbon element
by intake air flow and consumed in the normal
combustion process.
The EVAP purge valve allows manifold vacuum to
purge the canister. The Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) supplies a ground to energize the
EVAP purge valve (purge ON). The EVAP purge valve
control is Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) or turned
ON and OFF several times a second. The PCM
controlled PWM output is commanded when the
appropriate conditions have been met
Engine coolant temperature above 50C (77F).
" After the. engine has been running about 3 minutes
on a cold start or 30 seconds on a warm start.
The vehicle is operating in closed loop fuel control.
Canister purge PWM duty cycle varies according
to operating conditions determined by mass air flow,
fuel trim, and intake air temperature. Canister
purge will be disabled if TP angle increases to above
55%. Canister purge will be re-enabled when TP
angle decreases below 53%.
The evaporative leak detection diagnostic strategy is
based on applying vacuum to the EVAP system
and monitoring vacuum decay. The fuel level sensor
input to the PCM is used to determine if the fuel
level in the tank is correct to run the EVAP diagnostic
tests. To ensure sufficient volume in the tank to
begin the various diagnostic tests, the fuel level must
be between 15% and 85%. The PCM monitors
system vacuum level via the fuel tank pressure
sensor input.

Diagnosis
The evaporative leak detecUon diagnostic strategy is
based on applying vacuum to the EVAP system
and monitoring vacuum decay. Before the EVAP
system diagnostic tests are run the following conditions
must be present:
No VSS, TP, H02S, Misfire, IAT, MAP, Fuel Trim,
Injector circuit, EGR Pintle Position, ECT, or MAF
sensor OTCs set.
Engine coolant temperature is between 4C and
30C (40F and 86F).
Intake air temperature is between 4C and
30C (40F and 86F).
Fuel tank level is between 15% and 85%.
BARO is above 75 kPa.

The EVAP system diagnostic tests Will be run following


a cold start; as indicated by the ECT and IAT
sensors. The fuel level sensor input to the PCM is
used to determine if the fuel level in the tank is
appropriate to run the EVAP diagnostic tests;To.
ensure sufficient volume in the tank to begin the
various diagnostic tests, the fuel level must be
between. 15% and 85%. The PCM monitors vacuum
level via the fuel tank pressure sensor input. At
an appropriate time; the EVAP purge valve. and the
EVAP canister vent valve are turned ON, allowing
engine va.cuumto draw a slight vacuum on the entire
evaporative emission system. After the.desired
vacuum level has .been achieved, the EVAP purge
valve is turned OFF, sealing thesystem. A leak
is detected by monitoring for a decrease in.vacuum.
level over a given time period. A.small leak in the
system will cause DTC P0442 to be set. If the.desired
vacuum .level cannot be achieved in the test
described above, a large leak or a malfunctioning
EVAP purge valve is indicated. This can be caused by
the following conditions:
Disconnected or malfunctioning fuel tan.k pressu~e
sensor.
Missing, incorrect, or malfunctioning fuel cap.
Disconnected, damaged, pinched, or blocked
EVAP purge line.
Disconnected or damaged EVAP venthose.
Disconnected, damaged, pinched, or blocked fuel

Open ignition feed .circuit to the EV AP canister
vent or EVAP purge valve.

Damaged EVAP canister.


Any of the above conditions can set DTC P0440.
A restricted or blocked EVAP canister vent path
is detected by drawing vacuum into the EVAP system,
turning OFFthe EVAP canister vent valve and the.
EVAP purge valve (EV AP canister vent valve Open,
EVAP canister purge 0% ) and monitoring the fue.1 tank
pressure sensor input. With the EVAP canister vent
valve open, any vacuum in the system should
decrease quickly unless the. vent path .is blocked. A
blockage can be caused by the following conditions:
Malfunctioning EVAP canister vent valve (stuck
closed).
Plugged, kinked, or pinched vent hose.
Shorted EV AP canister vent valve control circuit
Plugged evaporative. canister.
If any of the above conditions are present, DTC P0446
will set.

The system checks for conditions that cause the


EV AP system to purge continuously by commanding
the EVAP canister vent valve ON and the EV AP purge
valve OFF (EVAP canister vent valve Closed, EVAP
canister purge 0%). If fuel tank vacuum level
decreases during the test, a continuous purge flow
condition is indicated. This can be caused by the
following conditions:
EVAP purge valve leaking.
EV AP purge and engine vacuum source lines
switched at the EVAP purge valve.
EVAP purge valve control circuit grounded.
If any of these conditions are present, DTC P1441 will

Electronic Ignition (El) System Description


The electronic ignition system controls fuel combustion
by providing a spark to ignite the compressed
air/fuel mixture. at the correct time. To provide optimum
engine performance, fuel economy, and control of
exhaust emissions, the PCM controls the spark
advance of the ignition system. Electronic ignition has
the following advantages over a mechanical
distributor system:
No moving parts.
Less maintenance.
" Remote mounting capability.
No mechanical load on the engine.
More coil cool down time between firing events.
Elimination of mechanical timing adjustments.
Increased available ignition coil saturation
time. Increased available ignition coil
saturation time.

the ignition coils - more than 40 kilovolts (40,000 volts)


at any engine RPM. The voltage required by each
spark plug is determined by the polarity and the
cylinder pressure. The cylinder on the compression
stroke requires more voltage to fire the spark plug than

the cylinder on the exhaust stroke,


It is possible for one spark plug to fire even though a
plug wire from the same coil may be disconnected
from its companion plug. The disconnected plug wire
acts as one plate of a capacitor, with the engine
being the other plate. These two capacitor.plates are
charged as a spark jumps across the gap of the
connected spark plug. The plates are then discharged
as the secondary energy is dissipated in an oscillating
current across the gap of the spark plug that is still
connected. Secondary voltage requirements are very
high with an open spark plug or spark plug wire;
The ignition coil has enough reseNe energy to fire the
plug that is still connected at idle, butthe coil may
not fire the spark plug under high engine load. A more
noticeable misfire may be evident under load; both
spark plugs may then be misfiring.

Operation

System Components

Purpose

The electronic ignition system does not use the


conventional distributor and coil. The ignition system
consists of three ignition coils, an ignition control
module, a dual Hail-effect crankshaft position sensor,
an engine crankshaft balancer with interrupter
rings attached to the rear, related connecting wires,
and the Ignition Control (IC) and fuel metering portion
of the PCM.
Conventional ignition coils have one end of the
secondary winding connected to the engine ground. In
this ignition system, neither end of the secondary
winding is grounded. Instead, each end of a coil's
secondary winding is attached to a spark plug. Each
cylinder is paired with the cylinder that is opposite
it (1/4, 2/5, 3/6). These two plugs are on companion
cylinders, i.e., on top dead center at the same
time. When the coil discharges, both plugs fire at the
same time to complete the series circuit. The
cylinder on compression .is said to be the event
cylinder and the one on exhaust is the waste cylinder.
The cylinder on the exhaust stroke requires very
little of the available energy to fire the spark plug. The
remaining energy will be used as required by the
cylinder on the compression stroke. The same process
is repeated when the cylinders reverse roles. Thi?
method of ignition is called a waste spark ignition
system.
Since the polarity of the ignition coil primary and
secondary windings is fixed, one spark plug always
fires with normal polarity and its companion plug fires
with reverse polarity. This differs from a conventional
ignition system that fires all the plugs with the
same polarity. Because the ignition coil requires
approximately 30/o more voltage to fire a spark plug
with reverse polarity; the ignition coil design is
improved, with saturation time and primary current
flow increased. This redesign of the system allows
higher secondary voltage to be available from

Crankshaft Position Sensor and Crankshaft


Balancer Interrupter Rings
The dual crankshaft position sensor. is secured in.an
alumi.num mounting bracket and bolted to the front left
side of the engine timing chain cover, partially
behind .the crankshaft balancer. A 4-wire harness
connector plugs into the sensor, connecting it to the
ignition control module. The dual crankshaft position
sensor contains two Hall-effect switches with
one shared magnet mounted between them. The
magnet and each Hall-effect switch are separated by
an air gap. A Hall 0 effect switch reacts like a solid
state switch, grounding a low current signal voltage
when a magnetic field is present. When the magnetic
field is shielded from the switch by a piece of steel
placed in the air gap between the magnet and
the switch, the signal voltage is not grounded.

Engine Controls - 3.8L

If the piece of steel (called an interrupter) is repeatedly


moved in and out of the air gap, the signal voltage
will appear to go ON - OFF - ON - OFF - ON - OFF. In
the case of the electronic ignition system, the piece
of steel is two concentric interrupter rings mounted to
the rear of the crankshaft balancer.

Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor

legend
(1) Crankshaft Balancer
(2) Interrupter Rings
Each interrupter ring has blades and windows that
either block the magnetic field or allow it to close
one. of the Hall effect switches. The. outer Hall effect
switch produces a signal called the CkP 1SX because
the outer interrupter ring has 18 evenly spaced
blades and windows. The CKP 1SX portion of the
crankshaft position sensor produces 18 ON OFF pulses per crankshaft revolution. The Hall-effect
switch closest to the crankshaft, the CKP. Sync
portion of the sensor, produces a signal that
approximates the inside interrupter ring. The inside
interrupter ring has 3 unevenly spaced blades
and windows of different widths. The CKP Sync portion
of the crankshaft position sensor produces 3 different
length ON - OFF pulses per crankshaft revolution.
When a CKP Sync interrupter ring window is between
the magnet and inner switch, the magnetic field will
cause the CKP Sync Hall effect switch to ground
the CKP Sync signal voltage supplied from the ignition
controlmodule. The CKP 18X interrupter ring and
Hall-effect switch react similarly. The ignitioncoritrol
module. interprets the CKP 18X and CKP Sync
ON - OFF signals as an indicatio11. of crankshaft
position, and the ignition control.module must have
both signals to fire the correct ignition coil. The ignition
control modul.e determines crankshaft position for
correct ignition coil sequencing by counting how many
CKP 18X signal transitions occur, i.e.; ON - OFF or
OFF - ON, during a CKP Sync pulse.

The camshaft position sensor is located on the timing


cover behind the water pump near the. camshaft
sprocket. As the camshaft sprocket turns, a magnet in
it activates the Hall effect switch in the camshaft
position sensor. When the Hall-effect switch is
activated, it grounds the signal line to the ICM, pulling
the camshaft position sensor signal circuit's applied
voltage low. This is interpreted as a CMP Sensor
signal. The CMP Sensor signal is created as piston #1
is approximately 25 degrees aft.er top dead center
on the power stroke.

Ignition Coils

Powertrain Control Module (PCM)

Three twin-tower ignition coils are individually mounted


to the ignition c.ontrol module. Each coil provides
spark for two plugs simultaneously (waste spark
distribution). Each coil is serviced separately.
Two terminals connect each coil pack to the module.
Each coil is provided a fused ignition feed. The
other terminal at each coil is individually connected to
the module, which will energize one coil at a time
by completing and interrupting the primary circuit
ground path to each coil at the proper time.

Ignition Control Module (ICM)


The ignition control module performs the following
functions:
It powers the dual crankshaft position sensor
internal circuits.
It supplies the voltage signals that each respective
Hall effect switch pulses to ground to generate
the CKP Sync and CKP 18X signal pulses.
It determines the correct ignition coil firing
sequence, based on how many CKP 18X signal
transitions occur during a CKP Sync pulse.
This coil sequencing occurs at start-up. After the
engine is running, the module remembers the
sequence, and continues triggering the ignition
coils in proper sequence.
It determines whether or not the crankshaft is
rotating in the proper direction, and cuts off
fuel delivery and spark to prevent backfiring if
reverse rotation is detected.
It sends the 3X reference and 18X reference
signals to the PCM. The PCM determines engine
RPM from these signal. These signals used by
the PCM to determine crankshaft speed for
Ignition Control (IC) spark advance calculations.
The falling edge of each 3X reference and
18X reference signal pulse occurs at a specific
time in relation to top dead center of any cylinder
stroke. The 3X reference signal sent to the
PCM by the ignition control module is an ON OFF pulse occurring 3 times per crankshaft
revolution. This is neither the CKP Sync pulse nor
the 18X crankshaft position sensor pulse, but
both of these are required before the ignition
control module will generate the 3X reference
signal. The ignition control module generates the
3X reference signal by an internal divide-by-6
circuit. This divider circuit divides the CKP
18X signal pulses by 6. The divider circuit is
enabled, or ready to begin dividing, only after it
receives a crankshaft position sensor CKP
Sync pulse. After beginning, the divider circuit
does not need the Sync pulses to continue
operating. If either the CKP 18X or CKP Sync
pulses are missing at start-up, the ignition control
module will not generate 3X reference or
18X reference signal pulses and no fuel injector
pulses will occur.

The PCM is responsible for maintaining proper spark


and fuel injection timing for all driving conditions.
Ignition Control (IC) spark timing is the PCM method
of controlling spark advance and ignition dwell. To
provide optimum driveability and emissions, the PCM
monitors input signals from the following components
in calculating Ignition Control (IC) spark timing:

The ignition system uses many of the same ignition
module-to-PCM circuits as did previous Delco
engine management systems using distributor type
ignition. The following describes the PCM to ignition
control module circuits:
3X reference PCM input
From the ignition control module, the PCM uses
this signal to calculate engine RPM and crankshaft
position. The PCM compares pulses on this
circuit to any that are on the Reference Low
circuit, ignoring any pulses that appear on both.
The PCM also uses the pulses on this circuit
to initiate injector pulses.
18X reference PCM input - The 18X reference
signal is used to accurately control spark timing at
low RPM and allow IC operation during crank.
Below 1200 RPM, the PCM is monitoring
the 18X reference signal and using it as the
reference for ignition timing advance. When engine
speed exceeds 1200 RPM, the PCM begins
using the, 3X reference signal to control spark
timing.

Engine

',

Camshaft Position PCM input


The PCM uses this signal to determine the
position of the cylinder #1 piston during its power
stroke. This signal is used by the PCM to
calculate true Sequential Fuel Injection (SFI)
mode of operation. The PCM compares the
number of CAM pulses to the number of 18X and
3X reference pulses; If the number of 18X and
3X reference pulses occurring between CAM
pulses is incorrect, or if no CAM pulses are
received while the engine is running, the PCM will
set OTC P0341 . If the cam signal is lost while
the engine is running the fuel injection system will
shift to a calculated sequential fuel injection
mode based on the last cam pulse, and the engine
will continue to run. The engine can be re-started
and will run in the calculated sequential mode
as long as the condition is present with a
1 in 6 chance of being correct.
Reference low PCM input
This is a ground circuit for the digital RPM
counter inside the PCM, but the wire is connected
to engine ground only through the ignition
control module. Although this circuit is electrically
connected to the PCM, it is not connected to
ground at the PCM. The PCM compares voltage
pulses on the 3X or 18X reference input to
those on this circuit, ignoring pulses that appear
Oh both.
Bypass signal PCM output
The ignition control module maintains a fixed
spark timing while the engine is cranking (Bypass
Mode). Once the PCM receives 3X reference
pulses, the PCM commands the ignition module
to allow the PCM to control the spark advance
(IC Mode). The ignition control module determines
correct operating mode based on the voltage
level that the PCM sends to the ignition control
module on the bypass circuit. The PCM provides
5 volts on the bypass circuit if the PCM is
going to control spark timing (IC Mode).
Ignition Control (IC) PCM output
The IC output circuitry of the PCM sends out
timing pulses to the ignition control module. When
in the Bypass Mode, the ignition control module
grounds these pulses. When in the IC Mode,
the ignition control module uses the timing pulses
for coil dwell and spark timing. Proper sequencing
of the 3 ignition coils, i.e.; which coil to fire, is
always the job of the ignition control module.

Modes of Operation
The ignition system uses the same four ignition
module-to-PCM circuits as did previous Delco engine
management systems using distributor-type ignition.
Ignition Control (IC) spark timing is the PCM's method
of controlling spark advance and ignition dwell
when the ignition system is operating in the IC Mode.
There are two modes of ignition system operation:
Bypass Mode.
IC Mode.

Engine Controls - 3.8l

6-1317

In Bypass Mode, the ignition system operates


independently of the PCM, at a fixed spark timing. The
PCM switches to IC Mode (PCM controlled spark
advance) as soon as the engine begins cranking. After
the switch is made to IC Mode, it will stay in effect
until one of the following conditions occur:
The engine is turned off.
The engine quits running.
The IC output circt.Jitry in the PCM generates IC output
pulses anytime crankshaft reference signal input
pulses are being received. When the ignition system is
operating in the Bypass Mode (no voltage on the
bypass control circuit), the ignition control module
grounds the IC pulses coming from the PCM.
The ignition control module will remove the ground
from the IC circuit only after switching to the IC Mode.
The PCM commands switching to IC Mode by
applying 5 volts on the bypass circuit to the ignition
control module. The PCM monitors the IC and Bypass
circuits for electrical malfunctions affecting proper
ignition system operation. If a malfunction occurs,
diagnosis is included in OTC P1351, P1352, P1361
and P1362 diagnostic tables. If diagnostic trouble
codes are encountered, go to the OTC tables
for diagnosis.
In the IC Mode, the ignition spark timing and ignition
dwell time is fully controlled by the PCM. IC spark
advance and ignition dwell is calculated by the PCM
using the following inputs:
Engine speed (18X reference or 3X reference).
Crankshaft position (18X reference or
3X reference and Camshaft position PCM input
signal).
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT sensor).
Throttle Position (TP sensors).
Knock Signal (Knock sensor).
Park/Neutral Position (PRNDL input).
Vehicle Speed (Vehicle Speed Sensor).
PCM and ignition system supply voltage.
The following describes the PCM to ignition control
module circuits:
3X reference PCM input - From the ignition
control module, the PCM uses this signal to
calculate engine RPM and crankshaft position.
The PCM compares pulses on this circuit to any
that are on the Reference Low circuit, ignoring
a:ny pulses that appear on both. The PCM
also uses the pulses on this circuit to initiate
injector pulses. If the PCM receives no pulses on
this circuit, the PCM will use the 18X reference
pulses to calculate RPM and crankshaft position.
The engine will continue to run and start
normally, but OTC P137 4 will be set.

6-1318

Engine

Engine Controls - 3.8L

18X reference PCM input - The 18X reference


signal is used to accurately control spark timing at
low RPM and allow IC operation during crank.
Below 1200 RPM, the PCM is monitoring the
18X reference signal and using it as the reference
for ignition timing advance. When engine speed
exceeds 1200 RPM, the PCM begins using the,
3X reference signal to control spark timing. If the
18X reference signal is not .received by the PCM
while the engine is running, a OTC P0336 will be
set and 3X reference will be used fo control spark
advance under 1200 RPM, and Bypass Mode will
be in effect at under 400 RPM. The engine will
continue to run and start normally.
Reference low PCM input - This is a ground circuit.
for the digital RPM counter inside the PCM, but the
wire is connected to engine ground only through
the ignition co.ntrol module. Although this circuit is
electrically connected to the PCM, it is not
connected to ground at the PCM. The PCM
compares voltage pulses on the 3X or
i 8X reference input to those on this circuit, ignoring
pulses that appear on both. If the circuit is open, or
connected to ground at the PCM, it may cause poor
engine performance and possibly a MIL (Service
Engine Soon) with no OTC.
Bypass signal PCM output -The ignition control
module maintains a fixed spark timing while the
engine cranking (Bypass mode). Once the PCM
receives 3X reference pulses, the PCM commands
the ignition module to allow the PCM to control the
spark advance (IC Mode). The ignition control
module determines correct operating mode based
on the voltage level that the PCM sends to the
ignition control module on the bypass circuit. The
PCM provides 5 volts. on the bypass circuit if the
PCM is going to control spark timing (IC Mode).
" Ignition Control (IC) PCM output - The IC output
circuitry of the PCM sends out timing pulses to the
ignition control module on this circuit. When in the
Bypass Mode, the ignition control module grounds
these pulses. When in the IC Mode, these pulses
are sent to the ignition control module to control coil
dwell and spark timing, Proper sequencing of the 3
ignition coils, i.e., which coil to fire, is always the job
of the ignition control mod.ule.
Knock Sensor (KS) PCM input -The PCM contains
integrated knock sensor (KS) diagnostic circuitry.
The KS system is comprised of A knock sensor,
PCM, and related wiring. The PCM monitors the
knock sensor signal to detect engine detonation
(spark knock). When the spark knock occurs, the
PCM retards the spark timing (IC) to reduce
detonation. Retarded timing can also be a result of
excessive valve lifter, pushrod or other mechanical
engine or transaxle noise.

Camshaft Position PCM input (CAM signal) - The


PCM uses this signal to determine the positipn of
the cylinder #1 piston during its intake stroke.
This signal is used by the PCM to calculate true
Sequential Fuel Injection (SFI) mode of operation.
The PCM compares the number of CAM pulses
to the number of 18X and 3X reference pulses. If
the cam signal is lost while the engine is
running the fuel injection system will shift to a
calculated sequential fuel injection mode based on
the. last cam pulse, and the engine will continue
to run. The engine can be re-started and will
run in the calculated sequential mode as long as
the fault is present with a 1 in 6 chance of
being correct.

Knock Sensor (KS) System Description


Purpose
Varying octane levels in today's gasoline may cause
detonation in some engines. Detonation is caused
by an uncontrolled explosion (burn) in the combustion
chamber. This uncontrolled explosion could produce
a flamE:l front opposite that of the normal flame
front produced by the spark plug. The rattling sound
normally associated with detonation is the result
of two or more opposing pressures (flame fronts)
colliding within the combustion chamber. Though light
detonation is sometimes considered normal, heavy
detonation could result in engine damage. To control
spark knock, a Knock Sensor (KS) system is used.
This system is designed to retard spark timing
when spark knock is detected in the engine. The KS
system allows the engine to use maximum spark
advance. for optimal driveability and fuel economy.

Operation
The PCM contains integrated Knock Sen.sor (KS)
Diagnostic Circuitry. Input signals from the knock
sensors are used to detect engine detonation, allowing
the PCM to retard Ignition Control (IC) spark timing
based on the amplitude and frequency of the KS signal
being received. The knock sensors produce an AC
signal under all engine operating conditions. The PCM
calculates an average voltage of each knock
sensor's signal and takes instantaneous signal voltage
readings. The PCM uses the instantaneous signal
voltage readings to determine the state of the knock
sensor circuitry. If the knock sensor system is
operating normally, the PCM should monitor
instantaneous KS signal voltage readings varying
outside a voltage range above and below the
calculated average voltage (as shown in the normal
knock sensor figure). If the PCM detects a knock
sensor signal voltage within the calculated average
voltage range, OTC P0327 or P0332 will set (as shown
in. the abnormal knock sensor figure).

Purpose
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system is used
to lower Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) emission levels
caused by high combustion temperature. It does this
by decreasing combustion temperature.
The main element of the system is the linear EGR
valve. The EGR valve feeds small amounts of exhaust
gas back into the combustion chamber. With the
fuel/air mixture diluted by the exhaust gases,
combustion temperatures are reduced.

The linear EGR valve is designed to accurately supply


EGR to an engine independent of intake manifold
vacuum. The valve controls EGR flow from the exhaust
to the intake manifold through an orifice with a PCM
controlled pintle. During operation, the PCM controls
pintle position by monitoring the pintle position
feedback signal. The feedback signal can be monitored
with a scan tool as ACTUAL EGR POS. ACTUAL
EGR POS should always be near the commanded
EGR position (DESIRED EGR POS). The PCM uses
information from the following sensors to control
the pintle position:
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor.
o Throttle Position (TP) sensor.
Mass Air Flow (MAF).
The linear EGR valve is usually activated under the
following conditions:
e Warm engine operation
.. Above idle speed

Diagnosis

The TAC system components include but is not limited


to the following:
" The Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor
The Throttle Body
" The Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) module
The Powertrain. Control Module (PCM)
Each of these components interface together to
ensure accurate calculations and control of the throttle
position.

Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor


The APP sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal
assembly. The APP is actually three individual
accelerator pedal position sensors within one housing.
There are three separate signal, ground and
reference circuits. The APP sensor voltage increases
as the accelerator pedal is depressed.

Too much EGR flow at idle, cruise, or cold operation


may cause any of the following conditions to occur:
Engine stalls after cold start.
Engine stalls during closed throttle conditions.
Vehicle surges during cruise.
Rough idle.
OTC P0300 (misfire detected).
Too little or no EGR flow may allow combustion
temperatures to get too high. This could cause the
following symptoms:
Spark knock (detonation).
Engine overheating.
Emission test failure.
OTC P0401.
Poor fuel economy.
EGR flow diagnosis is included in the OTC P0401
diagnostic table. Pintle position error diagnosis
is covered in OTC P1406. If EGR diagnostic trouble
codes P0401 and/or P1406 are encountered, go to the
OTC tables for diagnosis.

Throttle Actuator Control System


Description

6.;1321

Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) Overview


The Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) system uses
vehicle electronics and components to calculate and
control the position of the throttle blade. This
eliminates the need for a mechanical cable attachment
from the accelerator pedal to the throttle body. This
system also performs the cruise control functions
as well.

Throttle BodyfTAC Assembly


The throttle body for the TAC system is similar to a
conventional throttle body with several exceptions.
One exception being the use of a motor to control the
throttle position instead of a mechanical cable.
Another exception is the new design Throttle
Position (TP) sensor. The TP sensor mounts on the
side of the throttle body. The TP sensor is actually two
individual TP sensors within one housing.
Two separate signal, ground and reference circuits are
used to connect the TP sensors and the TAC
module. The TP sensor signal voltage increases as
the throttle opens.
Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) Module
The TAC module is the 'Control Center' for the
electronic throttle system. The Module is also located
on the accelerator pedal assembly. The.TAC
module and the PCM communicate via a dedicated
redundant serial data circuit. The TAC module and the
PCM monitor the commanded throttle position and
compare it to the actual throttle position. This is
accomplished by monitoring the APP and the TP
sensor. These two values must be within a calibrated
value of each other. The TAC module also monitors
each individual circuit of the TP sensor and the APP to
verify proper operation.
Battery Saver Mode
When the PCM detects the ignition ON for 10 seconds
without the engine running it sends a message to
the TAC Module. At this time the TAC module
will allow the throttle blade to return to it's default
position. This removes the draw that is present while
holding the throttle blade at it calculated idle

position.

Crankcase Ventilation System Description


Purpose
A crankcase ventilation system is used to consume

crankcase vapors in the combustion process instead of


venting them to atmosphere. Fresh air from the
throttle body is supplied to the crankcase, mixed with
blow-by gases and then passed through a crankcase
ventilation valve into the intake manifold.

Engine Controls - 3.8L


Air Intake System Description ..

Operation

The air induction system provides contaminant and


sound filtration of the outside air as it is drawn into the
engine. A remotely mounted air cleaner reduces
induction noise while preventing contaminants in 1he
air from entering the engine. The filtered air is
routed into an intermediate air duct assembly. The air
then enters the engine by flowing through the
throttle body, into the intake manifold, through the
cylinder head intake ports, and into the cylinders.

Fuel System Specifications


If you have the 3800 V6 engine (VIN Code K), us_e
regular unleaded gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher.
If you have the 5.7L VB engine (VIN Code G), use
premium unleaded gasoline rated at 91 octane
or higher for best performance. You may use middle
grade or regular unleaded gasolines, but your
vehicle may not accelerate as well.
It is recommended that the gasoline meet specification
which have been developed by the American
Automobile Manufactures Association (AAMA) and
endorsed by the Canadian Motor Vehicle
Manufacturers Association for better vehicle
performance and engine protection. Gasolines
meeting the AAMA specification could provide
improved driveability and emission control system
performance compared to other gasolines. For. more
information, write to: American Automobile
Manufacturer's Association, 7430 Second Ave,
Suite 300; Detroit Ml 48202.
Be sure the posted octane for premium is at least 91
(at least 89 for middle grade and 87 for regular). If
the octane is less than 87, you may get a heavy
knocking noise when you drive. If it's bad enough, it
can damage your engine.
If you're using fuel rated at the recommended octane
or higher and you hear heavy knocking, your
engine needs service. But don't worry if you hear a

little pinging noise when you're accelerating or driving


up a hill. That's normal, and you don't have to buy
a higher octane fuel to get rid of pinging. It's the heavy,
constant knock that means you have a problem.
Notice: Your vehicle was not designed for fuel that
contains methanol. Do not use methanol fuel
which can corrode metal parts in your fuel system and
also darnage plastic and rubber parts. This kind of
damage would not be covered under your warranty.
If your vehicle is certified to meet to meet California
Emission Standards (indicated on the under hood
emission control label), it is designed to operate on
fuels that meet California specifications. If such
fuels are not available in states adopting California
emissions standards, your vehicle will operate
satisfactorily on fuels meeting federal specifications,
but emission control system performance may be
affected. The malfunction indicator lamp on your
instrument panel may turn on and/or your vehicle may
fail a smog-check test. If this occurs, return to your
authoriz$d deal.er for diagnosis to determine the cause
of failure. In the event it is determined that the
cause of the condition is the type of .fuels used, repairs
may not be covered by your warranty.
Some gasolines that are not reformulated for low
emissions may contain an octane.~enhancing additive
called methylcyclopentadienyl manganese
tricarbonyl (MMT); ask your service station operator
whether or not the fuel contains MMT.

Begin the system diagnosis with the A Powertrain On


Board Diagnostic (080) System Check.. The
Powertrain OBD System Check will provide the
following information:
The identification of the control modulE:i(s) which
command the system.
e The ability of the control module(s) to
communicate through the serial data circuit.
The identification of any stored diagnostic trouble
codes (DTCs) and their status.
The use of the Powertrain OBD System Check will
identify the correct procedure for diagnosing the
system and where the procedure is located.

A Powertrain On Board Diagnostic .(OBD) System Check


Description
The Powertrain OBD System Check is an organized
approach to identifying a problem created by an
electronic engine control system malfunction. The
Powertrain OBD System Check is the starting point for
any driveability concern diagnosis: The Powertrain
OBD System Check directs the service technician to
the next logical step in diagnosing a concern.
Understanding and using the table correctly will reduce
the diagnostic time and prevent the replacement of
good parts.
Do not perform this check if no driveability concern
exists. A driveability condition includes all PCM
controlled systems and components.
For automatic transmission DTCs, refer to Diagnostic
Trouble Code (OTC) List/Type in Automatic
Transmission. The DTCs associated with the automatic
transmission are:
DTCs P0502 and P0503.
Any 700 (except OTC P0704) and 1800 series
DTCs (i.e. OTC P07XX and P1 BXX).
For Domestic and Export OTC Types, refer to
Diagnostic Trouble Code (OTC) List/Type.
This vehicle is equipped with a Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) utilizing an Electrically Erasable
Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM).
Program the new PCM when diagnostics call for
replacement of the PCM. When the PCM is replaced,
the following must be performed.
The PCM must be programmed. Refer to PCM
Replacement/Programming.
The CKP System Variation Learn Procedure.
Refer to CKP System Variation Learn Procedure.
The Idle Learn Procedure. Refer to PCM Idle
Learn Procedure.
The Engine Oil Life Monitor reset procedure.
Refer to Engine Oil Life Monitor Reset Procedure.
When the PCM power is interrupted or the PCM
is reprogrammed, the PCM Idle Learn Procedure must
be performed.

Diagnostic Aids
If an intermittent condition exists, inspect the PCM
wiring harnesses for improper installation of
electrical components. Inspect for aftermarket theft
deterrent devices, lights, and cellular phones.
Ensure that no aftermarket equipment is
connected to the Class 2 circuit. A cellular phone
signal communication may cause an intermittent
condition.
The following may cause an intermittent:
- Poor connections; Refer to Testing tor
Intermittent and Poor Connections in Wiring
Systems.
- Corrosion.
- Mis-routed harness.
- Rubbed through wire insulation.
- Broken wire inside the insulation.

If multiple DTCs are set, inspect the IGN relay for


proper operation. The following components are
powered by the IGN relay:
- Injectors/Ignition coils
- A/C system
- Transmission
- EVAP solenoid and EVAP Vent Valve
- MAF sensor
- Heated Oxygen Sensors
For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
1, Use a properly functioning scan tool with the
diagnostic tables in this section. DO NOT use the
Clear Info function unless instructed by a
diagnostic procedure.
3. An Ignition 1 voltage that is too low may cause
the following conditions:
A no start
e Stalling
" High idle
An inoperative scan tool
5. This step determines if a OTC is set for the
Vehicle Theft Deterrent (VTD) system. A VTD OTC
set causes a no start condition.
6. If multiple DTCs are stored, diagnose in the
following order of priority:
1. PCM failure DTCs (P0601, P0602, P0604)
2. System Voltage DTCs
3. Component level DTCs (Sensors, Solenoids,
Relays etc.). Multiple DTCs within this
category should be diagnosed in numerical
order starting with the lowest numbered OTC.
4. System level DTCs (Misfire, Fuel Trim, etc.)
For Automatic Transmission DTCs, refer to Diagnostic
Trouble Code (OTC) List/Type in Automatic
Transmission.
It is beneficial to review the Freeze Frame Data and/or
Fail Records. Use the odometer information and the
fail counter in order to determine how frequently
and how recently the OTC set. This information and
the other operating conditions when the OTC set may
help diagnose an intermittent condition. Capturing
the stored info preserves data that the PCM will lose
when instructed to Clear Info at the end of a
diagnostic table, or if you disconnect the PCM or
replace the PCM during a diagnostic procedure. The
scan tool stores the data in the scan tool's memory.
Review the captured info at the end of the diagnostic
procedure in order to catch the next OTC in the
event there are multiple DTCs stored. Follow the order
of priority as listed above.

7. Compare actual control system data with the


values in the Engine Scan Tool Data List to
determine if any parameter is not within limits.
Keep in mind that a base engine condition
(i.e. advanced cam timing) may substantially alter

sensor values. If the actual data does not


correspond with the values in the Engine Scan
Tool Data List, refer to the appropriate
system/component diagnostic aids or test
descriptions.

Scan Tool Data list


The Engine Scan Tool Data List contains all engine
related parameters that are available on the scan tool.
The list is arranged in alphabetical order. A given
parameter may appear in any one of the data lists, and
in some cases may appear more than once, or in
more than one data list in order to group certain related
parameters together.
Use the Engine Scan Tool Data List only after the
following is determined:
Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic System Check is
completed.
No Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
On-board diagnostics are functioning properly.
Scan tool values from a properly running engine may
be used for comparison with the engine. you are
diagnosing. The Engine Scan Tool Data List
represents values that .would be seen on a normally
running engine.

commands each injector ON during each engine
cycle. A longer injector pulse width causes more fuel
to be delivered. The Injector Pulse Width increases
with an increased engine load.
Knock Retard: The scan tool displays a range of
0.0 degrees-16 degrees. Knock Retard indicates
the amount of spark the PCM removes from the IC
spark advance in response to the signal from the
knock sensors.
Long Term FT Average Bank 1 and Bank 2: The
scan tool displays Percentage. This parameter
indicates the average of all long term fuel trim cells.
The short term fuel trim cells are rated (Weighted) for
the amount of which they are used. For example,
an idle cell is rated higher than a wide open cell. If a
fueling malfunction occurs in the idle cell and the
wide open cell, the average would be more affected
by the idle cell than the wide open cell. A negative
value significantly below O percent indicates that the
fuel system is rich and fuel delivery is being reduced
(decreased injector pulse width), A positive value
significantly more than O percent indicates that a lean
condition exists and the PCM compensates by
adding fuel (increased injector pulse width). When the
average of the cells reach a predetermined high or
low, a fuel trim DTC sets.
Long Term FT Bank 1 and Bank 2: The scan tool
displays Percentage. The PCM derives the Long
Term Fuel Trim from the Short Term Fuel Trim value.
The Long Term Fuel Trim represents a long-term
correction of fuel delivery. A value of O percent
indicates that fuel delivery requires no compensation

Engine
in order to maintain the PCM commanded air/fuel
ratio. A negative value significantly below O percent
indicates that the fuel system is rich and the PCM
is reducing the fuel delivery (decreased injector pulse
width). A positive value significantly greater than
O Percent indicates that a lean condition exists and
the PCM compensates by adding fuel (increased
injector pulse width). Fuel trim values at maximum
authority indicates an excessively rich or lean system.
Loop Status: The scan tool displays Open or
Closed. Closed Loop indicates that the PCM is
controlling fuel delivery according to oxygen sensor
voltage. In Open Loop, the PCM ignores the oxygen
sensor voltage and bases the amount of fuel to
be delivered on TP sensor, engine coolant, and MAF
sensor inputs only.
Low Oil Lamp: The scan tool displays On or Off.
The scan tool displays On when the PCM detects that
there is a low oil level condition. The Low Oil Lamp

is low. The scan toot. displays YES when. the
PCM detects the engine oil level is. low.
MAF: The scan tool displays a range of 0.0-655 g/s.
The MAF (Mass Air Flow) is the MAF Input Frequency
converted to grams of air per second. This indicates
the amount of air entering .the engine.
MAF Frequency: The scan tool displays a range of
0-31,999 Hz. The PCM converts .current draw
needed by the MAF (to keep the hot wires at a
constant temperature) into a frequency signaL The
scan tool displays this frequency in Hertz signal.
MAP: The scan tool displays a range of
10-105 kPa/0.00-5.0 Volts. The Manifold Absolute
Pressure (MAP) sensor measures the change in
the intake manifold pressure from engine load, and
speed changes. As the intake manifold pressure
increases, the intake vacuum decrease$ resulting in a
higher MAP sensor voltage and kPa reading. The
PCM uses the MAP sensor signal for the following: (1)
Updating the BARO reading; (2) Enabling factor for
several of the diagnostics,
MIL: The .scan tool displays On or Off. The scan tool
indicates if the PCM has commanded the Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) On.

in range.
Not Run Counter: The scan tool displays counts
from Oto 65;535. The scan tool displays the number of
times a. OTC diagnostic has not reached it's
predetermined criteria in order to run since it's
first failure.
PCM Reset: The scan tool displays Yes or No. This
parameter indicates when the internal. PCM resets.
The scan tool displays YES when an. internal
PCM reset occurred. The scan tool displays NO under
the normal operating conditions.
PNP: The scan tool displays PARK/NEUTRAL or
R-0321. When the transmission is in park or neutral
the scan tool displays PARK/NEUTRAL. When
you place the gear selector into reverse or any forward
gear position, the scan tool displays R-0321.
Pass Counter: The scan tool displays the number
of times a DTC has passed.
Reverse Inhibit (MIT only): The scan tool displays
Yes or No. The PCM grounds the control circuit
when the conditions are met for enabling the Reverse
Inhibit solenoid. The scan tool displays Yes when
the PCM grounds the control circuit.
Revolutions with Misfire: The scan tool displays
the number of engine revolutions the engine is

misfiring.

SHRT FT Average 1 and 2: The scan tool displays


Percentage. This parameter indicates the average
of the short term fuel trim cells. The short term fuel trim
cells are rated (Weighted) for the amount of which
they are used. For example, the PCM rates an idle cell
higher than a wide open cell. If a fueling malfunction

Engine Controls - 5.7L

is occurs in the idle cell and the wide open cell, the
idle ce!.1 would affect more than then the wide
open celL A negative value significantly below
O percent indicates that the fuel system is rich and the
PCM is reducing the fuel delivery (decreased injector
pulse width). A positive value significantly more
than O percent indicates that a lean condition exists
and the PCM is compensating by adding h.1el
(increased injector pulse width). When the average of
the cells reach a predetermined high or low, a fuel
trim OTC sets.

Short Term FT Bank 1 and Bank 2: The scan tool


displays Percentage. The Short Term FuerTrim
represents a short-term correction to fuel delivery by
the PCM in response to the amount of time the
fuel control oxygen sensor voltage spends above or
below the 450 mV threshold. If the oxygen sensor
voltage mainly remains less than 450 mV, indicating a
lean air/fuel mixture, short term fuel trim increases
into the positive range above O percent. The
PCM adds fuel. If the oxygen sensor voltage stays
mainly above the threshold, the short. term fuel
trim decreases below O percent into the negative
range. The PCM reduces the fuel delivery in order to
compensate for the indicated rich condition. Under
certain conditions such as an extend.ad idle and a high
ambient temperature, the canister purge may cause
the Sh.ort Term Fuel Trim to read in the negative range
during normal operation. The Fuel trim values at
maximum authority may indicate an excessively rich .or
lean system.
Skip Shift Lamp (MIT only): The scan tool displays
On or Off. The PCM .sends a message to the IPC
(via class 2) to enable the Skip Shift Lamp when the
Skip Shift Solenoid is enabled. Thescan tool displays
On when .the Skip Shift Lamp is On.
Skip Shift Solenoid (MIT): The scan tool displays
Enabled or Disabled. The PCM grounds the control
circuit when the c.onditions are met for enabling
the Skip Shift solenoid. The scan tool displays Enabled
when the PCM grounds the control circuit.
Spark: The scan tool displays a range of
-64 degrees to 64 degrees. The scan tool displays the

amount of degrees the PCM commands the spark


advance on the IC circuit. The PCM computes
the desired spark advance using the following:
(1) Engine coolanrtemperature; (2) Engine
speed (RPM); (3) Load; (4) Vehicle speed. The PCM
adjusts the timing;
Start Up ECT: The scan tool displays a range of
-39C to 140C (-38F to 284F). The scan tool
displays the Engine Coolant Temperature at the time
the engine was started. The PCM uses Start Up
ECT for certain DTCs.

Engine
VTD Fuel Disabled: . The scan tool displays
Active/Inactive. The PCM receives a 40-60 Hertz
signal from the Body Control Module (BCM) when the
proper starting procedure occurs. When the PCM
receives this 40-60 Hertz signal the fuel system
is enabled and the engine starts. The scan tool
displays Active once the hertz signal is received by
the PCM. If an improper starting procedure occurs, the
BCM will not send the 40-60 Hertz signal to the
PCM and the PCM disables the fuel system. The scan

tool displays Inactive. .

Warm-Ups w/o Emis.sion Faults: The scan tool


displays a range of 0-255. This parameter counts the
number of warrn up cycles without an emission
fault present. The counter increments to 255 and roll
back to O unless a fault.occurs. If a fault occurs,
.
the counter reverts back to O until the fault is corrected.
Clearing the information with a scan tool or a loss of
power to the PCM also resets the counter to 0.
Warm-Ups w/o Non-Emission Faults: The scan
tool displays a range of .0-255. This parameter counts
the number of warm up cycles without a non-emission
fault present. The counter increments to 255 apd
roll back to O unless a fault occurs. If a fault occurs, .
the counter reverts back to O until the fault is corrected.
Clearing information with a scan tool or a loss of
power to the PCM also resets the counter to 0.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (OTC) Type


Definitions
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are categorized .into
emissions and non-emissions related types. When
a DTC is set, the MIL and Failure data are utilized by
the control modules diagnostic executive according
to the DTC type. Each DTC is set based upon
the individual DTCs running and setting criteria. It is
important to read the Action Taken When the
DTC Sets and Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC in
the supporting text for taking appropriate action to
each DTC.

Emissions Related DTCs


Type A .
The following actions occur at the time of the

first failure:
Turns
the MIL
Stores DTC in memory
Stores Freeze Frame/Failure records data
Updates the Failure Records after each ignition
cycles first failure
Some Type A DTCs will not perform the above actions
when the DTC first detects afailure. Two consecutive
failures are required. This allows systems, such as
EVAP, to accurately identify what failure exists before
setting a DTC and requesting MIL illumination.

Type B

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List/Type

The following actions occur at one of the


following times:

The service information contained in this manual refers


to the Federal calibration package. The export
change is NOT reflected in the service information on
the DTC's diagnostic support information page or
in the Repair Instructions. The .OTC Type table
information refers to domestic and Export calibration
packages. Export vehicles may have differences
in OTC types that will affect Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) operation. Certain OTCs have been
changed from type A to type C or, in some cases,
type X. When a type A diagnostic fails, a DTC is set
immediately and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
is illuminated. When a type B OTC diagnostic fails,
the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illuminate if
the fault is present after two consecutive ignition
cycles. A type C OTC will set after one failure and be
stored in history but will not illuminate the Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (MIL). Type X OTCs have been
turned off (the diagnostic does not run, no codes are
stored, and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
will not illuminate.
If a system is malfunctioning and the associated OTC
has been disabled (Type X), it may be beneficial to
use the diagnostic table as aguide to aid in diagnosis.
Many of the OTC tables include a functional check
of the system that may pinpoint a problem. However,
it is important to remember that the OTC tables
are specifically. designed for use only when a OTC is
set. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the
normal operation of .the system being diagnosed is
necessary and use of the tables for this purpose is at
the discretion of the technician.

First failure:
- Does not turn on the MIL
- Stores the OTC in memory as Failed
Last Test
- Stores Failure Records data
Second consecutive drive cycle with a failure:
- Turns on the MIL
- Stores the OTC in memory as a history OTC
- Stores Freeze Frame data
- Updates Failure Records data
Second non-consecutive drive cycle with a failure:
- Does not turn on the MIL
- Stores the OTC in memory as Failed
Last Test
- Updates Failure Records data

Non-Emissions Related DTCs


Type C

The following actions occur at the time of a failure:


Does not turn on the MIL
Stores the OTC in memory as a history OTC
Stores Failure Records data
Updates the Failure Records after each ignition
cycles first failure
Some Type C DTCs may also cause an auxiliary
service lamp to be illuminated, and/or display a
message to the vehicle operator.
TypeX

No actions occur. These DTCs are coded into the


control modules software, but will not run because
one of the following reasons:
Associated hardware is not installed with the
vehicles emission package
The diagnostic is not required for the vehicles
emission package

Important: An export vehicle may have unrequired


emissions components removed.

Engine Cranks but Does Not Run


Description
The Engine Cranks but Does Not Run diagnostic table
assumes that battery condition and engine cranking
speed are OK. If the battery condition and the cranking
speed are not OK, refer to Engine Cranks/Cranks
Slowly, but Does Not Start in Engine Electrical
for diagnosis. Make sure that there is adequate fuel in
the tank.

Diagnostic Aids
The following may cause an intermittent:
- Poor connections-refer to Testing for
Intermittent and Poor Connections in Wiring
Systems.
- Corrosion
- Mis-routed harness
- Rubbed through wire insulation
- Broken wire inside the insulation
Check the duct work between the Mass Air
Flow (MAF) sensor and the throttle body for
air leaks.
A malfunctioning MAF sensor may cause a no
start or a stall after start. If you suspect this,
disconnect the MAF sensor. The PCM will default
to the speed density (MAP, IAT, RPM) in order
to calculate the load and the air flow. If this
corrects the condition and the connections are
OK, replace the MAF sensor. Refer to MAF
Sensor Replacement for procedures.
If certain components are disconnected at the
same time, the engine may not start and NO
DTCs set.
.. For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. Certain DTCs only set while cranking the engine.
This step verifies if a component is causing the
no start condition.
4. This step is testing for a grounded ignition feed
circuit for.the crankshaft position sensor and
the camshaft position sensor. When the ignition
feed circuit is shorted, a no start occurs and
no DTCs are set. The ignition feed circuits are
connected internally within the PCM. The
PCM cannot detect that the engine is cranking
with a grounded ignition feed circuit If no engine
speed is displayed on the scan tool, inspect
the ignition feed circuit for a short to ground.
The scan tool may reset if the battery is at a low
state of charge. The battery may need to be
charged to perform this step.
5. This step verifies the IGN relay for proper
operation. The IGN relay supplies voltage to the
injectors and the ignition coils. When the IGN relay
is not operating properly, a no start condition
occurs. If the test lamp does not illuminate, th.is
indicates the IGN relay is not suppling a voltage to
the fuses.
6. The Crankshaft Position sensor is located near
the starter.
7. The Camshaft Position sensor is located at the
rear of the engine behind the intake manifold.
8. The ignition feed circuit for the Camshaft and.
Crankshaft Positior:i sensors is internally
connected within the PCM. A short. to ground on
either circuit causes a no start condition.
10. The fuel cap may need to be removed to hear if
the fuel pump is operating.

Perform the following additional inspections:


Inspect the duct work between the Mass Air
Flow (MAF) sensor and the throttle body for air .leaks.
Inspect that the throttle angle is at 0% at a closed
throttle. If the throttle angle is not at 0%, refer to
OTC P0122 Throttle Position (TP) Sensor Circuit Low
Voltage and OTC P0123 Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
Circuit High Voltage.
A malfunctioning MAF sensor may cause a no start or
a stall after a start. If you suspect this, disconnect the
MAF sensor. The PCM will default to the speed
density (MAP, IAT, RPM) in order to calculate the
engine load and the intake air flow. If disconnecting
the MAF sensor corrects the condition and the
connections are OK, replace the MAF sensor. Refer to
MAF Sensor Replacement.
Inspect the spark plugs for being gas fouled. Refer to
Spark Plug Visual Diagnosis in Engine Electrical. If the
spark plugs are gas fouled, determine what caused
the rich condition.
Inspect for an engine mechanical failure that causes
an engine not to start (i.e. timing chain, low
compression).
Compare MAP/BARO parameters to another vehicle.
The parameter values should be close to each other.

Circuit Description

Diagnostic Aids

When the ignition switch is ON, the PCM activates the


in-tank fuel pump. The fuel pump remains ON as
long as the PCM receives reference pulses from the
ignition system. If there are no reference pulses,
the PCM turns the fuel pump OFF after about
2-3 seconds. The pump delivers fuel to the fuel rail
~nd injectors. The fuel pressure regulator, located
in the fuel tank, maintains the system pressure at 380410 kPa (55-60 psi). Excess fuel returns to the fuel
tank. When the engine is stopped, a scan tool in
the output controls function can turn ON the fuel pump.
Improper fuel system pressure results in one or
many of the following symptoms:
Cranks but will not run
Cuts out, may feel like an ignition problem
Poor fuel economy
Loss of power
Hesitation
DTCs

Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that 1he
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
For an intermittent, refer to Intermittent Conditions.

Circuit Description

Test Description

When you turn ON the ignition switch, the Powertrain


Control Module (PCM) turns ON the in-tank fuel
pump. The in-tank fuel pump remains ON as long as
the engine is cranking or running and the PCM
receives reference pulses. If there are no reference
pulses, the PCM turns the in-tank fuel pump OFF
2 seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON
or 2 seconds after the engine stops running.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the


diagnostic table.

The electric fuel pump attaches to the fuel sender


assembly inside the fuel tank. The in-tank fuel pump
supplies fuel through an in-pipe fuel filter to the fuel rail
assembly. The fuel pump provides fuel at a pressure
above the pressure needed by the fuel injectors.
The fuel pressure regulator keeps the fuel available to
the fuel injectors at a regulated pressure. The fuel
pressure regulator attaches to the fuel sender
assembly return pipe. Unused fuel returns to the fuel
tank by a separate fuel return pipe. The fuel return
pipe attaches to a T-connector in the fuel feed pipe on
the outlet side of the fuel filter.

2. When the ignition switch is ON and the fuel pump


is running, the fuel pressure indicated by the fuel
pressure gauge should read 380-410 kPa
(55-60 psi). The spring pressure inside the fuel
pressure regulator controls the fuel pressure.
3. A fuel system that drops more than 34 kPa (5 psi)
in 10 minutes has a leak in one or more of the
following areas:
.. The fuel pipes.
The fuel pump check valve.
., The fuel pump flex pipe.
0 The valve or valve seat within the fuel pressure
regulator.
.. The fuel injector(s).
4. A fuel system that drops more than 14 kPa (2 psi)
in 10 minutes after being relieved to
69 kPa (10 psi) indicates a leaking fuel pump
check valve.

Engine
5. Fuel pressure that drops-off during acceleration,
cruise, or hard cornering may cause a lean
condition. A lean condition can cause a loss of
power, surging, or misfire. You can diagnose
a lean condition using a scan tool. If an extremely
lean condition occurs, the heated oxygen
sensors(s) will stop toggling. The heated oxygen
sensor output voltage(s) will drop below
300 mV. The fuel injector pulse width will increase.
Important: Make sure the fuel system is not operating
in the Fuel Cut-Off Mode. This can cause false
indications by the scan tool.
10. A rich condition may result from the fuel pressure
being above 41 O kPa (60 psi). A rich condition
may cause DTC P0132, DTC P0152, DTC P0172
or DTC P0175 to set. Driveability conditions
associated with rich conditions can include hard
starting followed by black smoke and a strong
sulfur smell in the exhaust.
11. This test determines if the high fuel pressure is
due to a restricted fuel return pipe or if the
high fuel pressure is due to a faulty fuel pressure
regulator.
12. A lean condition may result from the fuel pressure
being below 380 kPa (55 psi). A lean condition
may cause DTC P0131, DTC P0151, DTC P0171
or DTC P0174 to set Driveability conditions
associated with lean conditions can include hard
starting (when the engine is cold), hesitation,
poor driveability, lack of power, surging, and
misfiring.

Engine Controls - 5.7L

6;..1407

Notice: Do not allow the fuel pressure to exceed


500 kPa (72 psi). Fuel pressure in excess of
500 kPa (72 psi) may damage the fuel pressure
regulator.
13. Restricting the fuel return pipe with the J 37287
fuel pipe shut-off adapter causes the fuel
pressure to rise above the regulated fuel pressure.
Using a scan tool to pressurize the fuel system,
the fuel pressure should rise above
41 O kPa (60 psi) as the valve on the fuel pipe
shut-off adapter connected to the fuel return pipe
becomes partially closed.
18. Check the spark plug associated with a particular
fuel injector for fouling.or saturation in order to
determine if that particular fuel injector is leaking.
If checking the spark plug associated with a
particular fuel injector for fouling or saturation does
not determine that a particular fuel injector is
leaking, use the following procedure:
1. Remove the fuel rail, but leave the fuel pipe
connected to the fuel rail. Refer to Fuel Rail
Assembly Replacement.

2. Lift the fuel rail just enough to leave the fuel


injector nozzles i.n the fuel injector ports.

Caution: In order to reduce the risk of fire and


personal injury that may result from fuel spraying
on the engine, verify that the fuel rail is positioned
over the fuel injector ports. Also verify that the
fuel injector retaining clips are intact.
3. Pressurize the fuel system by using the scan
tool fuel pump enable.
4. Visually and physically inspect the fuel injector
nozzles for leaks.

Circuit Description
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor measures the.
amount of air ingested by the engine. The direct
measurement of the air entering the engine is more
accurate than calculating the airflow from the MAP, the
IAT and the engine speed (speed/density). The
MAF sensor has a battery feed, ground, a.nd a signal
) circuit.
The MAF sensor used on this engine is a hot wire
type. This engine uses the MAF sensor to measure air
flow rate. The MAF output frequency is a function of
the po\fler required to keep the air flow sensing
elements (hot wires) at a fixed temperature above the
ambient temperature. Air flowing through the sensor
cools the sensing elements. The amount of cooling is
proportional to the amount of air flow. The MAF.
sensor requires a greater amount of current in order to
maintain the hot wires at a constant temperature as
the air flow increases. The MAF sensor converts
the changes in current draw to a frequency signal read
by the PCM. The PCM calculates the air flow (grams
per second) based on this signal.
The PCM monitors the MAF sensor frequency. The
PCM can determine if the sensor is stuck low,
stuck high, not providing the airflow value expected for
a given operating condition, or that the signal
appears to be stuck based on a lack of signal variation
expected during the normal operation. This diagnostic
tests the range/performance of the MAF sensor.
The MAF system performance or rationality diagnostic
uses the MAP, the IAT, and the engine speed to
calculate an expected airflow rate. The PCM then
compares the rate to the actual measured airflow from
the MAF sensor. The PCM only compares the
) actual MAF value and the calculated value during
conditions where the values are likely to match. This
DTC sets if the actual MAF reading is not within a
predetermined range of the calculated reading.

Conditions for Running the DTC


DTCs POi 02, POi 03, POi 07, P0108, POi 21,
POi 22, P0123 not set.
The engine is running.
" The TP sensor angle is less than 50 percent
and the engine vacuum (BARO-MAP) is greater
than 65 kPa.
The system voltage is.more than 11 volts but less
than 18 volts.
" The EGR pintle position is less than 90 percent
" The change in TP sensor is less than 3 percent.
All above conditions stable for 2.0 seconds.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The MAF frequency is 50 percent different from
the speed density calculation.
All conditions met for 5.0 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
" The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

6-1412

Engine Controls - 5.7L

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A last test failed (current OTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A History O.TC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUOTC.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems for procedures.
Any un-metered air may cause this OTC to set.
Inspect for the following:
- An engine vacuum leak
- The PCV system for vacuum leaks
- An incorrect PCV valve
- The engine oil dip stick not fully seated
For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.

Engine
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.

2. The MAF system performance or rationality


diagnostic uses the MAP sensor signal along with
other inputs in order to calculate an expected
airflow rate. The PCM then compares the
expected flow rate to the actual measured airflow
from the MAF sensor. The first few steps of
this table verifies the MAP sensor is working
properly. Correct any MAP sensor OTCs first.
3. The MAP sensor is difficult to remove. Twist the
MAP sensor forward and pull up. This forward
motion clears the retaining clip.
5. This step monitors a smooth transition to the
original scan tool value.
6. Using the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records
data may aid in locating an intermittent condition.
If you cannot duplicate the OTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data can help determine how many miles
since the OTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass
Counter can also help determine how many
ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass
and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within th.e same
freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle
speed, temperature etc.) that you observed. This
isolates when the OTC failed.
7. Any un-metered air causes this OTC to set.
Inspect the PCV system for vacuum leaks. Also
inspect the dip stick for being pulled out.
Inspect the oil fill cap for being loose:
8. This step verifies the signal circuit from the MAF
sensor electrical connector to the PCM.
9.. This step verifies whether a ground and B+ circuit
is available.
10. This step tests the signal circuit for an open.
11. This step tests the signal circuit for a short to B+.

Circuit Description
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor measures the
amount of air ingested by the engine. The direct
measurement of the air entering the engine is more
accurate than calculating the airflow from the MAP, the
IAT, and the engine speed (speed/density). The
MAF sensor has a battery feed, a ground, and a signal
circuit.
The MAF sensor used on this engine is a hot wire
type. This engine uses the MAF sensor in order
to measure air flow rate. The MAF output frequency is
a function of the power required to keep the air flow
sensing elements (hot wires) at a fixed temperature
above the ambient temperature. Air flowing through the
sensor cools the sensing elements. The amount of
cooling is proportional to the amount of air flow. The
MAF sensor requires a greater amount of current
in order to maintain the hot wires at a constant
temperature as the air flow increases. The MAF sensor
converts the changes in current draw to a frequency
signal read by the PCM. The PCM calculates the
air flow (grams per second/hertz) based on this signal.
The PCM monitors the MAF sensor frequency. The
PCM determines if the sensor is stuck low, stuck high,
not providing the airflow value expected for a given
operating condition, or that the signal appears to
be stuck based on a lack of signal variation expected
during the normal operation. This diagnostic tests
for too high of an airflow rate. This OTC sets when the
PCM detects that the MAF sensor frequency is
above a predetermined value.

Conditions for R1..mning the DTC


The engine is operating longer than 0.5 seconds.
.. The engine speed is more than 300 RPM.
The system voltage is more than 8.0 volts.

Conditions for Setting the. DTC


The MAF frequency is more than 14,000 Hz.
All conditions met for less than 1 second.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the.Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.
O

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/OTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
.. A last test failed (current OTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
" A History OTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUOTC.

Diagnostic Aids

Test Description

Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant i.ntrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
Water entering the air intake system that reaches
the MAF sensor could cause this DTC to set.
The water rapidly cools the hot wires in the sensor,
causing a false indication of excessive airflow.
Inspect the following areas for evidence (witness
mp.rks) of water intrusion:
- AIR system
- Intake air system
For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the


diagnostic table.
2. Monitoring the MAF sensor frequency determines
if the fault is present or the malfunction is
intermittent. A poor connection at the MAF sensor
or at the fuse causes this DTC to. set.
3. Using the Freeze Frame.and/or Failure Records
data may aid in locating an intermittent condition.
If you cannot duplicate the DTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data can help determine how many miles
since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass
Counter can also help determine how many
ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass
and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the same
freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle
speed, temperature etc.) that you observed. This
isolates when the DTC failed.
4. This step tests for electro-magnetic interference
on the MAF sensor signal circuit. There should
be no signal indicated on the scan tool with
the sensor disconnected.

Circuit Description

The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is


mounted to the rear of the intake manifold. The MAP
sensor measures. the pressure changes within the
intake manifold which is an indication of the engine
load. The MAP sensor has a 5.0 volt reference,
a ground, and a signal circuit.
The MAP sensor contains a diaphragm which changes
the resistance based on pressure. When the manifold
pressure is low (high vacuum) the sensor output
voltage is low. When the manifold pressure is high
(low vacuum) the sensor output voltage is high.
The MAP sensor voltage (depending on altitude) can
range from 1.0-1.5 Volts at idle (high vacuum) to
4.0-4.9 volts at wide open throttle (low vacuum).
When the PCM senses a signal voltage lower than the
normal operating range of the sensor, this OTC sets.

Conditions for Running the DTC


No TP sensor OTCs set.
The engine is operating.
The TP sensor angle is O percent when engine
speed is less than 1200 RPM.
Or
The TP sensor angle is less than 20 percent
when engine speed is more than 1200 RPM.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The MAP sensor voltage is less than 0.10 volt.
All conditions met for more than 2 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
" The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the

Circuit Description
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor contains a
semiconductor device which changes the resistance
based on the temperature (a thermistor). The IAT
sensor is located in the air intake passage of
the engine air induction system. The IAT sensor has a
signal circuit and a ground circuit. The PCM applies
5.0 volts on the signal circuit to the sensor. The
PCM monitors the changes in this voltage caused by
changes in the resistance of the sensor in order to
determine intake air temperature.
When the intake air is cold, the sensor (thermistor)
resistance is high. The PCMs signal voltage is
only pulled down a small amount through the sensor
to a ground; therefore, the PCM senses a high
signal voltage (low temperature). When the intake air
is warm, the sensor resistance is low. The signal
voltage is pulled down a greater amount; therefore,
the PCM senses a low signal voltage (high
temperature).
When the PCM senses a signal voltage lower than the
normal operating range of the sensor, this OTC sets.

The engine run time is more than 30 seconds.
The vehicle speed at least 40 km/h (25 mph).

Conditions for Setting the OTC


The Intake Air Temperature is more than
139C (282F).
.. All conditions met for 5.0 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A last test failed (current OTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A History OTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUOTC.

Test Description

Important:
O Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
.. For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
If the engine has sat overnight, the engine coolant
temperature and the intake air temperature values
should display within a few degrees of each other. If
the temperatures are not within 3C (5F), refer to

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the


diagnostic table.

Temperature vs Resistance.
If you determine that the DTC occurs intermittently,
performing the P1112 diagnostic table may isolate the
cause of the fault.
For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.

2. This verifies if the condition is present.


3. Using the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records
data may aid in locating an intermittent condition.
If you cannot duplicate the DTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data can help determine how many miles
since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass
Counter can also help determine how many
ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass
and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the same
freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle
speed, temperature etc.) that you observed. This
isolates when the DTC failed.
4. An IAT below -30C (-22F) indicates the PCM
an the IAT wiring are OK.
5. Disconnecting the PCM allows using the DMM in
order: to test continuity of the circuits. This aids
in locating an open or a shorted circuit.

Circuit Description
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor
contains a semiconductor device which changes the
resistance based on the temperature (a thermistor).
The ECT sensor is mounted in the left bank cylinder
head near the front of the engine. The ECT sensor has
a signal circuit and a ground circuit. The PCM
applies a voltage (about 5.0 volts) on the signal circuit
to the sensor. The PCM monitors the changes in
.this voltage caused by changes in the resistance of
the sensor in order to determine the coolant
temperature.
When the coolant is cold, the sensor (thermistor)
resistance is high. The PCMs signal voltage is only
pulled down a small amount through the sensor
to a ground; therefore, the PCM senses a high signal
voltage (low temperature). When the coolant is
warm, the sensor resistance is low. The signal voltage
is pulled down a greater amount; therefore the PCM
senses a low signal voltage (high temperature).
At normal operating temperature, the scan tool should
display an ECT value of 1.5-2.0 volts.
When the PCM senses a signal voltage lower than the
normal operating range of the sensor, this OTC sets.
The engine coolant temperature information is
sent to the instrument panel cluster via the
class 2 circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The engine run time is more than 10 seconds.
OR
The engine run time is less than 10 seconds, when
the IAT is less than 50C (122F).

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The engine coolant temperature is more than
139C (282F).
All conditions met for 20 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails .
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the

Circuit Description
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor
contains a semiconductor device which changes the
resistance based on the temperature (a thermistor).
The ECT sensor is mounted in the. left bank cylinder
head near the front of the engine. The ECTsensor has
a signal circuit and a ground circuit. The PCM
applies a voltage (about 5.0 volts) on the signal circuit
to the sensor. The PCM monitors the cha.nges in
this voltage caused by changes in the resistance of
the sensor in order to determine the coolant
temperature.
When the coolant is cold, the sensor (thermistor)
resistance is high. The PCMs signal voltage is only
pulled down a small amount through the sensor
to a ground; therefore, the PCM senses a high signal
voltage (low temperature). When the coolant is
warm, the sensor resistance is low. The signal voltage
is pulled down a greater amount; therefore, the
PCM senses a low signal voltage (high temperature).
At normal operating temperature, the scan tool
should display an ECT value of 1 .5-2.0 volts.
When the PCM senses a signal voltage higher than
the normal operating range of the sensor, this
OTC sets.
The engine coolant temperature information is sent to
the instrument panel cluster via the class 2 circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The engine run time is more than 60 seconds.
OR
The engine run time is less than 60 seconds when the
IAT is more than 0C (32F).

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The engine coolant temperature is less than
-39C (-38F).
..
All conditions met for 20 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the Mil/OTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A last test failed (current DTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A History DTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Test Description

Important:

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the


diagnostic table.

Remove any debris from the PCM connector


surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
If the engine has sat overnight, the engine coolant
temperature and intake air temperature values should
display within a few degrees of each other. If the
temperatures are not within 3C (5F), refer to
Temperature vs Resistance.
If you determine that the OTC occurs intermittently,
performing the P1115 diagnostic table may isolate the
cause of the fault.
For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.

2. This step determines if the malfunction is present.


3. If OTC P1635 and P1639 set at the same time,
this indicates that the signal circuit is shorted
to a voltage.
4. Using the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records
data may aid in locating an intermittent condition.
If you cannot duplicate the OTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data can help determine how many miles
since the OTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass
Counter can also help determine how many
ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass
and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the same
freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle
speed, temperature etc.) that you observed. This
isolates when the OTC failed.
5. An engine coolant temperature above
139C (282F) indicates the PCM and ECT sensor
wiring is OK.
6. An engine coolant temperature above
139C (282F) indicates the PCM and ECT sensor
signal circuit is OK.
7. Disconnecting the PCM allows using the OMM in
order to test continuity of the circuits. This aids
in locating an open or a shorted circuit.
8. Disconnecting the PCM allows using the OMM in
order to test for a short to voltage.

Circuit Description
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer.
The TP sensor is mounted to the left side of the throttle
body. The TP sensor provides a voltage signal that
changes relative to throttle blade angle. This
signal voltage is one of the most important inputs used
by the PCM. The TP sensor has a 5.0 volt reference,
a ground and a signal circuit.
The TP sensor signal voltage should be near 0.6 volt
at idle. The TP sensor voltage should increase to
above 4.0 volts at wide open throttle (WOT).
This diagnostic compares actual throttle position from
the TP sensor to a predicted throttle position value.
The predicted throttle position is calculated from
engine speed and other inputs. If the PCM detects the
predicted throttle position is below the actual TP
sensor value, this OTC sets.

Conditions for Running the DTC


No MAP sensor or TP sensor OTCs set.
The engine run time is more than 10 seconds.
The engine coolant temperature is more than
0C (32F).
The IAC is between O and 255 counts.
" The MAP is less than 55 kPa.
OR
The MAP is more than 65 kPa.
MAP steady.

Conditions for Settirng the DTC


The predicted throttle angle does not match the
actual throttle angle.
.. All conditions present for 20 seconds:

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


" The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
The PCM 5.0 volt reference circuits are internally
connected within the PCM. If all the TP sensor circuits
are OK, inspect the MAP sensor and EGR valve for
malfunctions.
If it is determined that the OTC occurs intermittently,
performing the OTC P1121 diagnostic table may
isolate the cause of the fault.
For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.

Engine
3. The MAP value should change with the engine
speed. If a MAP sensor voltage changes,
there is no malfunction with the MAP sensor.

4. This step tests for an intermittent connection at


the sensor.
5. The MAP sensor is difficult to remove. Twist the
MAP sensor forward and pull up. This forward
motion clears the retaining clip.
8. If the TP sensor voltage changes, there is no
malfunction with the TP sensor wiring or the PCM.
9. Using Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data
may aid in locating an intermittent condition. If
you cannot duplicated the OTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data can help determine how many miles
since the OTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass
Counter can also help determine how many
ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass
and/or a fail. Operate vehicle within the same
freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle
speed, temperature etc.) that you observed. This
isolates when the OTC failed.
11. This tests the 5 volt reference circuit, signal
circuit, and the PCM. If the scan tool displayed
5 volts, the TP sensor circuits are OK.

2. If OTC P1635 sets at the same time, this indicates


that the 5 volt reference circuit is either shorted to
a ground or shorted to a voltage. The 5 volt
reference circuit is internally connected within
the PCM.

above 4.0 volts at wide open throttle (WOT).
When the PCM senses a signal voltage lower than the
normal operating range of the sensor, this DTC sets.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The ignition switch is in the ON position or the engine
is operating.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The TP sensor signal voltage is less than 0.2 volt.
The above conditions are present for 10 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
.. A last test failed (current DTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A History DTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. If OTC P1639 sets at the same time, this indicates
that the 5 volt reference circuit is either shorted to
ground or shorted to a voltage ..The 5 volt
reference circuit is internally connected within
the PCM.
3. This step verifies that a malfunction is present.
4. Using Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data
may aid in locating an intermittent condition. If
you cannot duplicate the OTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
~ecords data can help determine how many miles
since the OTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass
Counter can also help determine how many
ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass
and/or a fail. Operate vehicle within the same
freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle
speed, temperature etc.) that you observed. This
will isolate when the OTC failed.

5. This determines if the short is caused from the
Accelerator and Servo Control Module (ASM).
After repairs are made, reconnect the Accelerator
and Servo Control. Module (ASM) and clear
any DTCs that set when the Accelerator and
Servo Control Module (ASM) was disconnected.

6. If the scan tool indicates 5 volts, indicates the TP

Circuit Description
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer.
The TP sensor is mounted to the left side of the throttle
body. The TP sensor provides a voltage signal that
changes relative to throttle blade angle. This
signal voltage is one of the most important inputs used
by the PCM. The TP sensor has a 5.0 volt reference,
a ground and a signal circuit.
The TP sensor Signal voltage should be near 0.6 volt
at idle. The TP sensor voltage should increase to
above 4.0 volts at wide open throttle (WOT).
When the PCM senses a signal voltage higher than
the normal operating range of the sensor, this
OTC sets.

Conditions for Running The DTC


The ignition switch is in the ON position or the engine
is operating.

Conditions for Setting The DTC


The TP sensor signal voltage is more than
4.75 volts.
Condition present for 10 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A last test failed (current OTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
.. A History OTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUOTC.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
The PCM 5.0 volt reference circuits are internally
connected within the PCM. If all the TP sensor circuits
are OK, inspect the MAP sensor and EGR valve for
malfunctions.
If it is determined that the OTC occurs intermittently,
performing the DTC P1121 diagnostic table may
isolate the cause of the fault.
For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.

6-1.454

Engine

Engine Controls - 5.7L

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. If DTCs P1635 sets at the same time, this
indicates that the 5 volt reference circuit is shorted
to a voltage. The 5 volt reference circuit is
internally connected within the PCM.
3. This step verifies if the fault is present..
4. Using Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data
may aid in locating an intermittent condition. If
you cannot duplicate theDTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data can help determine how many miles
since the OTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass
Counter can also help determine how many
ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass

~nd/or a fail. Operate Vehicle within the same


lreeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle
speed, temperature etc.) that you observed. This
will isolate when the OTC failed.

5. Vehicles equipped with Accelerator and Servo


Control Module (ASM) will have to disconnect
the Accelerator qnd Servo Control Module (ASM).
This will determine if the short is caused from
the Accelerator and Servo Control Module (ASM).
After repairs are made, reconnect Accelerator
and Servo Contwl Module (ASM) and clear
the OTCs that set when the Accelerator and Servo
Control Module (ASM) was disconnected.

i.

This tests whether the ground circuit is available


to the TP sensor. Inspect for poor electrical
connections at the TP sensor.

Circuit Description
The PCM monitors the ECT sensor in order to
determine how long it takes the engine to reach the
coolant temperature required for Closed Loop
operation. OTC P0125 sets if the PCM determines that
the engine does not reach Closed Loop temperature
in a specified amount of time. This test will not
run if either the intake air or engine coolant
temperature is too low at start-up.

Conditions for Running the OTC


OTCs P0112, P0113, P0117, P0118 not set
The engine is operating.
.The engine coolant temperature is between -36C
(-33F) and 40C (104F) at engine start-up.
The intake air temperature is mar e
than -7C (19F).
The vehicle speed is more than 1.6 km/h (1 mph).

Conditions for Setting the OTC


The closed loop coolant temperature of 34C (93F) is
not reached within a predetermined time. The
maximum allowable time depends on the start-up
coolant temperature and the amount of airflow into the
engine. The range for the time is from 2 minutes
and 20 seconds to 22 minutes and 30 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM il.luminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/OTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator

An engine coolant temperature exceeding 34C
(93F), indicates that the engine is capable of reaching
the proper temperature, but not necessarily in the
correct amount of time. Repeat this diagnostic table on
a cold engine, and measure the time required to

reach the temperature threshold. When starting a cold


engine, measure the amount of time it takes the
engine to reach the specified temperature. The engine
should reach the specified temperature within
5 minutes or less. If the engine does not reach the
specified temperature within 5 minutes, inspect for the
following:
" Coolant level: refer to Loss of Coolant in Engine

Circuit Description
The PCM supplies a voltage of about 450 mV between
the H02S high and low signal circuits. The oxygen
sensor varies the voltage over a range from about
1,000 mV when the exhaust is rich, down through
about 10 mV when the exhaust is lean.
The PCM monitors and stores the heated oxygen
sensor (H02S) voltage information. The PCM
evaluates the H02S voltage samples in order to
determine the amount of time the H02S voltage was
out of range. The PCM compares the stored H02S
voltage samples taken within each sample period and
determines if majority of the samples are out of the
operating range.
The PCM monitors the H02S voltage for being fixed
below a predetermined voltage. If the PCM detects the
voltage is below a predetermined voltage, this
DTC sets.

lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the

Diagnostic: Aids

Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are instaned correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
The PCM sets this OTC when the vehicle runs out
of fuel.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (H02S) wire: Sensor
pigtail may be in contact with the exhaust manifold
or the exhaust system.
An oxygen supply inside the H02S is necessary
for proper operation. The H02S wires provide
the supply of oxygen. Inspect the H02S wires and
connections for breaks or contamination. Refer
to Heated Oxygen Sensor (H02S) Wiring Repairs
in Wiring Systems.
Inspect for an intermittent ground in the signal
wire between the connector and the sensor.
Lean injector(s): Perform the Injector Balance
Test. Refer to Fuel Injector Balance Test with
Tech 2 or Fuel Injector Balance Test with
Special Tool.

6-1461

Fuel contamination: Water near the in-tank fuel


pump inlet can be delivered to the injectors. Refer
to Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis. The
water causes a lean exhaust and can set a DTC.
Fuel pressure: System will be lean if fuel pressure
is low. Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis.
Exhaust leaks: An exhaust leak near the H02S can
cause a lean condition. Refer to Exhaust Leakage
in Engine Exhaust.
.. Vacuum or crankcase leaks can cause a lean
condition.
If the above are OK, the H02S may be at fault.
For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. If the H02S voltage is fixed well below 200 mV,
this indicates a short to battery ground or
chassis ground. If the voltage is fixed near or
above 200 mV, this indicates a short to a PCM
ground.
The engine must be at the normal operating
temperature before performing this test.
3. Using the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records
data may aid in locating an intermittent condition.
If you can not duplicate the OTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data can help determine how many miles
since the OTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass
Counter can also aid in determining how
many ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a
pass and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the
same freeze frame conditions (RPM, load,
vehicle speed, temperature etc.) that the PCM
recorded. This isolates when the OTC failed.
4. A sensor that is disconnected should indicate a
bias voltage. If the voltage is low inspect the
signal circuit for a short to ground.
5. Disconnecting the PCM allows using a DMM in
order to test continuity of the circuits. This
aids in locating an open or shorted circuit.

Circuit Description
The PCM supplies a voltage of about 450 mV between
the H02S high and low signal circuits. The oxygen
sensor varies the voltage over a rangefrom about
1,000 mV when the exhaust is rich, down through

about 10 mV when the exhaust is lean.


The PCM monitors and stores. the heated oxygen
sensor (H02S) voltage information. The PCM
evaluates the H02S voltage samples in order to
determine the amount of time the H02S voltage was
out of range. The PCM compares the stored H02S
voltage samples taken within each sample period and
determines if majority of the samples are out ofthe
operating range.
The PCM monitors the H02S voltage for being fixed
above a predetermined voltage. If the PCM detects the
voltage is above a predetermined voltage, this
DTC sets.

Engine

Action Taken When the OTC Sets

A History DTC clears after 40 consecutive


warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.

Leaking injector: Refer to the Fuel System


Diagnosis.
Evaporative emissions (EVAP) canister purge.
Inspect for fuel saturation. If full of fuel, inspect the
canister control and hoses. Refer to EVAP
Control System Operation Description.
MAF sensor: Disconnect the MAF sensor and see
if the rich condition is corrected. If so, inspect for
proper installation. If installed OK, replace the
MAF sensor. If the MAF sensor is installed
backwards, the system goes rich. The plastic
portion of the sensor has arrows cast into
it indicating proper air flow direction. The arrows
must point towards the engine.
An oxygen supply inside the H02S is necessary
for proper operation. The H02S wires provides
the supply of oxygen. Inspect the H02S wires and
connections for breaks or contamination. Refer
to Heated Oxygen Sensor (H02S) Wiring Repairs
in Wiring Syst~ms.
TP sensor: An intermittent TP sensor output
causes the system to go rich, due to a false
indication of the engine accelerating.
For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.

Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Test Description

6-1464

The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator


lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A last test failed (current DTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
Inspect the H02S electrical connections for evidence
of water intrusion. Water present in the connector
causes the B+ supply to the heater to bleed over to the
signal circuit.
Fuel pressure: The system goes rich if the
pressure is too high. The PCM compensates for
some increase. However, if the fuel pressure is too
high, a DTC may set. Refer to Fuel System
Diagnosis.
" Rich injector(s): Perform the Injector Balance
Test. Refer to Fuel Injector Balance Test with
Tech 2 or Fuel Injector Balance Test with
Special Tool.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the


diagnostic table.
2. This step tests for a rich condition.
The engine must be at the normal operating
temperature before performing this test.

3. Using the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records


data may aid in locating an intermittent condi.tion.
If you can not duplicate the DTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failu.re
Records data can help determine how many miles
since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass
Counter can also aid in determining how
many ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a
pass and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the
same freeze frame conditions (RPM, load,
vehicle speed, temperature etc.) that the PCM
recorded. This isolates when the DTC failed.

4. If the voltage remains high, this indicates the


signal circuit is shorted to a voltage. If the voltage
goes low, this indicates a rich conditio.n.
5. This step isolates the condition. If the voltage
remains high, this indicates t.he signal circul is. not
shorted to the heater feed circuit.
8. Test for a short between the H02S signal circuit
and any other wires powered by this fuse that
run together inside the same harness.

Circuit Description

The engine air flow is between 20 g/s and 50 g/s.

The PCM continuously monitors the Heated Oxygen


Sensor (H028) activity for 100 seconds. During
the monitor period the PCM counts the number of
times that the H028 responds from rich to lean and
from lean to rich and adds the amount of time it took to
complete all transitions. With this information, the
PCM can determine the average time for all transitions.
If the average response time is too slow, a OTC
will set.
The PCM determines the lean to rich transition when
the H028 voltage changes from less than 300 mV
to greater than 600 mV. The PCM determines the rich
to lean transition when the H028 voltage changes
from more than 600 mV to less than 300 mV. An H02S
that responds too slowly is most likely defective.
Replace the H028.

The EVAP canister purge duty cycle is more


than O percent.

Circuit Description
The PCM supplies a voltage of about 450 mV between
the H02S high and low signal circuits. The oxygen
sensor varies the voltage over a range from about
1,000 mV when the exhaust is rich, down through
about 1O mV when the exhaust is lean.
The PCM monitors and stores the heated oxygen
sensor (H02S) voltage information. The PCM
evaluates the H02S voltage samples in order to
determine the amount of time the H02S voltage was
out of range. The PCM compares the stored H02S
voltage samples taken within each sample period and
determines if majority of the samples are out of the
operating range.
The PCM monitors the H02S voltage and detects if
the voltage goes out of the bias range. If the PCM
does not detect the voltage went out of the bias range,
this DTC sets.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


., The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
!amp (MIL) on the se.cond consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
" The PCM records the operating conditions at the
. time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnosticfails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A last test failed (current OTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
" A History DTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
" Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
.. Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
e For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
An oxygen supply inside the H02S is necessary for
proper operation. The H02S wires provides the supply
of oxygen. Inspect the H02S wires and connections
for breaks or contamination. Refer to Heated Oxygen
Sensor (H02S) Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below .refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. The engine must be at the normal operating
temperature before performing this test.

3. Using the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records


data may aid in locating an intermittent condition.
If you can not duplicate the DTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data can help determine how many miles
since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass
Counter can also be used to determine how many
ignition cycles the diagnostic: reported a pass
and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the same
freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle
speed, temperature etc.) that the PCM recorded.
This isolates when the DTC failed.
4. If the scan tool indicates the H02S voltage goes

below 200 mV, this indicates the H02S circuits


and PCM are OK.

5. This step verifies whether the signal circuit from


the PCM is OK.
6. This step verifies whether the low signal circuit
from the PCM is OK. A voltage indicates the
PCM and wiring are OK.
7. Disconnecting the PCM allows using a DMM in
order to test continuity of the circuits. This
aids in locating an open or shorted circuit.

Circuit Description
The PCM supplies a bias voltage (approximately
450 mV) on the Heated Oxygen Sensor (H02S) signal
high and low circuits. When you turn the ignition to
the ON position, battery voltage is supplied to
the H02S heater. As the heater reaches the operating
temperature, the H02S voltage responds by
changing from a bias voltage range to the normal
operation. Typically, as the H02S reaches the
operating temperature, the H02S voltage goes from a
bias voltage to a voltage below 300 mV. Depending
on the exhaust gas content, it is possible for the H02S
voltage to go. above 450 mV.
The PCM runs the heater test only on a cold start
(depends on the cumulative air flow) and only once an
ignition cycle. When you start the engine the PCM
monitors the H02S voltage. When the H02S voltage
goes above or below the bias range threshold, the
PCM determines how much time it took. If the
PCM detects that the process took too much time for
the H02S to enter into normal operating range,
this DTC sets. The time the process takes the H02S
to reach operating temperature. is based on the
) amouni of air that flows into the engine.

H02S voltage stays between 300-700 mV
indicates the H02S heater is inoperative.
3. If more than one H02S OTC is set, this is a good
indication that the H02S fuse is open. Test all
the related circuits going to all the heated rn<ygen
sensors for a short to ground. If all the wiring
is OK, it may be necessary to disconnect each

" Fuel contamination: Water near the in-tank fuel


pump inlet can be delivered to the injectors.
Refer to Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis.
The water causes a lean exhaust and can set
a DTC.
" Fuel pressure: System will be lean if fuel pressure
is low. Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis.
e

Exhaust leaks: An exhaust leak near the H02S


can cause a lean condition. Refer to Exhaust
Leakage in Engine Exhaust.

Vacuum or crankcase leaks can cause a lean


condition.
If the above are OK, the H02S may be at fault.
For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. If the H02S voltage is fixed well below 200 mV,
this indicates a short to battery ground or
chassis ground. If the voltage is fixed near or
above 200 mV, this indicates a short to a PCM
ground. When the H02S voltage is fixed near
200 mV, indicates the DTC set when the
fuel system was in a Power Enrichment mode of
operation. This OTC sets if the H02S voltage
is less than 420 mV during a Power Enrichment
mode of operation.
The engine must be at the normal operating
temperature before performing this test.

3. Using the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records


data may aid in locating an intermittent.condition.
If you can not duplicate the DTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data can help determine how many miles
since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass
Counter can also be used to determine how many
ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass
and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the same
freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle
speed, temperature etc.) that the PCM recorded.
This isolates when the DTC failed.
4. Lower the exhaust system to gain sufficient
access to the H02S and/or the H02S connector if
necessary. Disconnecting the H02S should
cause the H02S voltage to display a bias voltage.
A voltage staying near 0.0 volts indicates the
low circuit is open, or the high circuit is open or
grounded.
5. Disconnecting the PCM allows using a DMM in
order in order to test continuity of the circuits.
This aids in locating an open or shorted circuit.

Circuit Description
The PCM supplies a voltage of about 450 mV between
the H02S high and low signal circuits. The oxygen
sensor varies the voltage over a range from about
1,000 mV when the exhaust is rich, down through
about 10 mV when the exhaust is lean.
The PCM monitors and stores the heated oxygen
sensor (H02S) voltage information. The PCM
evaluates the H02S voltage samples in order to
determine the amount of time the H02S voltage was
out of range. The PCM compares the stored H02S
voltage samples taken within each sample period and
determines if majority of the samples are out of the
operating range.
The PCM monitors the H02S voltage for being fixed
above a predetermined voltage. If the PCM detects the
voltage is above a predetermined voltage, this
DTC sets.

Engine
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
. cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
" A last test failed (current OTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A History DTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
" Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
Inspect the H02S electrical connections for evidence
of water intrusion. Water present in the connector
causes the B+ supply to the heater to bleed over to the
signal circuit.
~ Fuel pressure: The system goes rich if the
pressure is too high. The PCM compensates for
some increase. However, if the fuel pressure is too
high, a DTC may set. Refer to Fuel System
Diagnosis.
Rich injector(s): Perform the Injector Balance
Test. Refer to Fuel Injector Balance Test with
Tech 2 or Fuel Injector Balance Test with
Special Tool.
Leaking injector: Refer to the Fuel System
Diagnosis.

Engine Controls - 5.7L

6-1483

Evaporative emissions (EVAP) canister purge.


Inspect for fuel saturation. If full of fuel, inspect the
canister control and hoses. Refer to EVAP
Control System Operation Description .
MAF sensor: Disconnect the MAF sensor and see
if the rich condition is corrected. If so, inspect for
proper installation. If installed OK, replace the
MAF sensor. If the MAF sensor is installed
backwards, the system goes rich. The plastic
portion of the sensor has arrows cast .into
it indicating proper air flow direction. The arrows
must point towards the engine.
An oxygen supply inside the H02S is necessary
for proper operation. The H02S wires provide
the supply of oxygen. Inspect the H02S wires and
connections for breaks or contamination. Refer
to Heated Oxygen Sensor (H02S) Wiring Repairs
in Wiring Systems:
TP sensor: An intermittent TP sensor output
causes the system to go rich, due to a false
indication of the engine accelerating.
For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. This OTC also sets during a deceleration fuel
cut-off. Inspect items which could cause a
rich exhaust during a deceleration (leaking
injectors, stuck injectors etc.). Refer to. Conditions
for Setting the OTC.
The engine must be at the normal operating
temperature before performing this test.

3. Using the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records


data may aid in locating an intermittentcondition.
If you cannot duplicated the DTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame arid/or Failure
Records data can help determine how many miles
since the DTC set. The Fail Courter and Pass
Counter can also be used to determine how many
ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass
and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the same
freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle
speed, temperature etc.)that you observed. This
will isolate when the DTC failed.

4. If the voltage remains high, this indicates the


signal circuit is shorted to a voltage. If the voltage
goes low, this indicates a rich condition.
5. This step isolates the condition. If the voltage
remains high, this indicates the signal circuit is not
shorted to the heater feed circuit.
8. Test for a short between the H02S signal circuit
and any other wires powered by this fuse that
run together inside the harness.

Circuit Description
The PCM supplies a bias voltage (approximately
450 mV) on the Heated Oxygen Sensor (H02S) signal ,
high and low circuits. When the ignition is turned to
the ON position, battery voltage is supplied to the
H02S heater. As the heater reaches operating
temperature, the H02S voltage responds by changing
from a bias voltage range to normal operation.
Typically, as the H02S reaches operating temperature,
the H02S voltage goes from a bias voltage to a
voltage below 300 mV. Depending bn the exhaust gas
content, it is possible for the H02S voltage to go
above 450 mV.
The PCM will run the heater test only on a cold start
(depends on cumulative air flow) and only once
an ignition cycle. When the engine is started the PCM
will monitor the H02S voltage. When the H02S
voltage goes above or below the bias range threshold,
the PCM will determine how much time it took. If
the PCM detects that it took too much time for the
H02S to enter into normal operating range, this OTC
sets. The time it takes the H02S to reach the
operating temperature is based on the amount of air
that flows into the engine.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A last test failed (current OTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A History OTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other .emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUOTC.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this. kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.

6-1491

The heater diagnostic only runs on a cold start and


runs once per ignition cycle.
An oxygen supply inside the H02S is necessary for
proper operation. The H02S wires provides the supply
of oxygen. Inspect the H02S wires and connections
for breaks or contamination. Refer to Heated Oxygen
Sensor (H02S) Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. Allow the engine to cool, before proceeding with
this diagnostic table. The H02S may be at the
operating temperature and no drop or rise in the
H02S voltage would occur. If the H02S voltage
stays between 300-700 mV indicates the
H02S heater is inoperative.
3. If more then one H02S heater OTC is set, this is
good indication that the H02.S fuse is open.
Test all the related circuits going to all of the
heated oxygen sensors for a short to ground. If all
wiring is OK, it may be necessary to disconnect
each H02S one at a time to locate a shorted
sensor.
4. This step verifies whether B+ supply is available
at the sensor.
5. This step verifies whether a ground is available at
the sensor.
6. This step verifies whether the H02S heater
element is internally open.
7. Inspect the ignition feed circuits at the Underhood
Electrical Center for poor connections.
8. Test the ground circuits for an open if more then
one heater OTC sets.

Circuit Description
The PCM supplies a voltage of about 450 mV between
the H02S high and low signal circuits. The oxygen
sensor varies the voltage over a range from about
1,000 mV when the exhaust is rich, down through
about 10 mV when the exhaust is lean.
The PCM monitors and stores the heated oxygen
sensor (H02S) voltage information. The PCM
evaluates the H02S voltage samples in order to
determine the amount of time the H02S voltage was
out of range. The PCM compares the stored H02S
voltage samples taken within each sample period and
determines if majority of the samples are out of the
operating range.
The PCM monitors the H02S voltage for being fixed
below a predetermined voltage. If the PCM detects the
voltage is below a predetermined voltage, this
DTC sets.

ground.
The engine must be at the normal operating
temperature before performing this test.
3. Using the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records
data may aid in locating an intermittent condition.
If you can not duplicate the OTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data can help determine how many miles
since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass
Counter can also be used to determine how many'
ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass
and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the same
freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle
.
speed, temperature etc.) that the PCM recorded.
This isolates when the DTC failed.
4. A sensor that is disconnected should indicate a
bias voltage. If the voltage is low inspect the
signal circuit for a short to ground.

5. Disconnecting the PCM allows using a DMM in


order to test continuity of the circuits. This
aids in locating an open or shorted circuit.

Diagnostic Aids

Test Description

Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
Inspect the H02S electrical connections for evidence
of water intrusion. Water present in the connector
causes the B+ supply to the heater to bleed over to the
signal circuit.
Fuel pressure: The system goes rich if the
pressure is too high. The PCM compensates for
some increase. However, if the fuel pressure is too
high, a OTC may set. Refer to Fuel System
Diagnosis.
Rich injector(s): Perform the Injector Balance
Test. Refer to Fuel Injector Balance Test with
Tech 2 or Fuel Injector Balance Test with
Special Tool.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the


diagnostic table.
2, The engine must be at the normal operating
temperature before performing this test.

3. Using the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records


data may aid in locating an intermittent condition.
If you can not duplicate the DTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data can help determine how many miles
since the OTC.set. The Fail Counter and Pass
Counter can also be used to determine how many
ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass
and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the same
freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle
speed, temperature etc.) that the PCM recorded.
This isolates when the DTC failed.
4; If the voltage remains high, this indicates the
signal circuit is shorted to a voltage. If the voltage
goes low, this indicates a rich condition.
5. This step isolates the condition. If the voltage
remains high, this indicates the signal circuit is not
shorted to the heater feed circuit.
8. Test for a short between the H02S signal circuit

Circuit Description
The PCM continuously monitors the Heated Oxygen
Sensor (H02S) activity for 100 seconds. During
the monitor period the PCM counts the number of
times that the H02S responds from rich to lean and
from lean to rich and adds the amount of time it took to
complete all transitions. With this information, the
PCM can determine the average time for all transitions.
If the average response time is too slow, a OTC
will set.
The PCM determines the lean to rich transition when
the H02S voltage changes from less than 300 mV
to greater than 600 mV. The PCM determines the rich
to lean transition when the H02S voltage changes
from more than 600 mV to less than 300 mV. An H02S
that responds too slowly is most likely defective.
Replace the H02S.

Action Taken When the OTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic tails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A last test failed (current DTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A History DTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
Connector Test Adapter Kit J 35616-A. Using this
kit prevents any damage to the harness
connector terminals. Refer to Using Connector
Test Adapters in Wiring Systems.

Circuit Description
The PCM supplies a voltage of about 450 mV between
the H02S high and low signal circuits. The oxygen
sensor varies the voltage over a range from about
1,000 mV when the exhaust is rich, down through
about 10 mV when the exhaust is lean.
The PCM monitors and stores the heated oxygen
sensor (H02S) voltage information. The PCM
evaluates the H02S voltage samples in order to
determine the amount of time the H02S voltage was
out of range. The PCM compares the stored H02S
voltage samples taken within each sample period and
determines if majority of the samples are out of the
operating range.
The PCM monitors the H02S voltage and detects if
the voltage goes out of the bias range. If the PCM
does not detect the voltage went out of the bias range,
a DTC will set.

For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. The engine must be at the normal operating
temperature before performing this test.
3. Using the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records
data may aid in locating an intermittent condition.
If you can not duplicate the DTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data can help determine how many miles
since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass
Counter can also be used to determine how many
ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass
and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the same
freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle
speed, temperature etc.) that the PCM recorded.
This will isolate when the DTC failed.
4. If the scan tool indicates the H02S voltage goes
below 200 mV, this indicates the H02S circuits
and PCM are OK.
5. This step verifies whether the signal circuit from
the PCM is OK.
6. This step verifies whether the low signal circuit
from the PCM is OK. A voltage indicates the
PCM and wiring are OK.
7. Disconnecting the PCM allows using a DMM to
test the. continuity of the circuits. This aids in

Circuit Description
The PCM supplies a bias voltage (approximately
450 mV) on the Heated Oxygen Sensor (H02S) signal
high and low circuits. When you turn the ignition to
the ON position, battery voltage is supplied to
the H02S heater. As the heater reaches the operating
temperature, the H02S voltage responds by
changing from a bias voltage range to the normal
operation. Typically, as the H02S reaches the
operating temperature, the H02S voltage goes from a
bias voltage to a voltage below 300 mV. Depending
on the exhaust gas content, it is possible for the H02S
voltage to go above 450 mV.
The PCM runs the heater. test only on a cold start
(depends on the cumulative air flow) and only once an
ignition cycle. When you start the engine the PCM
monitors the H02S voltage. When the H02S voltage
goes above or below the bias range threshold, the
PCM determines how much time it took. If the
PCM detects that the process took too much time for
the H02S to enter into normal operating range,
this OTC sets. The time the process takes the H02S
to reach operating temperature is based on the
amount of air that flows into the engine.

Circuit Description
The PCM supplies a voltage of about 450 mV between
the H02S high and low signal circuits. The oxygen
sensor varies the voltage over a range from about
1,000 mV when the exhaust is rich, down through
about 10 mV when the exhaust is lean.
The PCM monitors and stores the heated oxygen
sensor (H02S) voltage information. The PCM
evaluates the H02S voltage samples in order to
determine the amount of time the H02S voltage was
out of range. The PCM compares the stored H02S
voltage samples taken within each sample period and
determines if majority of the samples are out of the
operating range.
The PCM monitors the H02S voltage for being fixed
below a predetermined voltage. If the PCM detects the
voltage is below a predetermined voltage, this
OTC sets.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
The PCM sets this DTC when the vehicle runs out
of fuel.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (H02S) wire: Sensor
pigtail may be in contact with the exhaust manifold
or exhaust system.
An oxygen supply inside the H02S is necessary
for proper operation. This supply of oxygen is
provided through the H02S wires. All H02S wires
and connections should be inspected for breaks
or contamination. Refer to Heated Oxygen
Sensor (H02S) Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Inspect for an intermittent ground in the signal wire
between the connector and the sensor.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. If the H02S voltage is fixed well below 200 mV,
this indicates a short to battery ground or
chassis ground. If the voltage is fixed near or
above 200 mV, this indicates a short to a PCM
ground. When the H02S voltage is fixed near
200 mV, indicates the DTC set when the
fuel system was in a Power Enrichment mode of
operation.
Idle the engine at the normal operating
temperature before performing this test.

3. Using the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records


data may aid in locating an intermittent .condition.
If you cannot duplicate the DTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data can help determine how many miles
since the OTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass
Counter can also help determine how many
ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass
and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the same
freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle
speed, temperature etc.) that you observed. This
isolates when the OTC failed.
4. Lower the exhaust system to gain sufficient
access to the H02S and/or the H02S connector if
necessary. Grounding the low side circuit of the
H02S causes the H02S voltage to display a bias
voltage. If the voltage stays near 0.0 volts, this
indicates the low circuit is open, or the high circuit
is open or grounded.
5. Disconnecting the PCM allows using the DMM in
order to test continuity of the circuits. This aids
in locating an open or shorted circt,1it.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or

prevents any damage to the harness conriector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.

Inspect the H02S electrical connections for evidence
of water intrusion ..Water present in the connector
causes the B+ supply to the heater to bleed over to the
signal circuit.
Fuel pressure: The system goes rich if the
. pressure is too high. The PCM compensates for
some increase. However, if the fuel pressure is too
high, a DTC may set. Refer to Fuel System
Diagnosis.
Rich injector(s): Perform the Injector Balance
Test. Refer to Fuel Injector Balance Test with Tech
2 or Fuel Injector Balance Test with Special Tool.
Leaking injector: Refer to the Fuel System
Diagnosis.

For

Evaporative emissions (EVAP) canister purge.


Inspect for fuel saturation. If full of fuel, inspect the
canister control and hoses. Refer to EVAP
Control System Operation Description.
MAF sensor: Disconnect the MAF sensor and see
if the rich condition is corrected. If so, inspect for
proper installation. If installed OK, replace the
MAF sensor. If the MAF sensor is installed
backwards, the system goes rich. The plastic
portion of the sensor has arrows cast into
it indicating proper air flow direction. The arrows
must point towards the engine.
An oxygen supply inside the H02S is necessary
for proper operation. The H02S wires provide
the supply of oxygen. Inspect the H02S wires and
connections for breaks or contamination. Refer
to Heated Oxygen Sensor (H02S) Wiring Repairs
in Wiring Systems.
TP sensor: An intermittent TP sensor output
causes the system to go rich, due to a false
indication of the engine accelerating.
an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. This DTC also sets during a deceleration fuel
cut-off. Inspect items which could cause a
~i~h exhaust du~i~g a deceleration (leaking
inJectors, stuck mJectors etc.). Refer to Conditions
for Setting the DTC.
Idle the engine at the normal operating
temperature before performing this test.
3. Using the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records
data may aid in locating an intermittent condition.
If you cannot duplicate the DTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
~ecords data can help deter.mine how many miles
s1.nce the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass
Counter can al$O. help determine how many
ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass
and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the same
freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle
speed, temperature etc.) that you observed. This
isolates when the DTC failed.
4. If the voltage remains high, this indicates the
signal circuit is shorted to a voltage. If the voltage
goes low, this indicates a rich condition.
5. This step isolates the condition. If the voltage
remains high, this indi.cates .the signal circuit is not
shorted to the heater feed circuit.
8. Review the system mechanization. Test for a
short between the H02S signal circuit and
any other wires powered by this fuse that run
together inside the harness.

Circuit Description
The PCM supplies a voltage of about 450 mV between
the H02S high and low signal circuits. The oxygen
sensor varies the voltage over a range from about
1,000 mV when the exhaust is rich, down through
about 10 mV when the exhaust is lean.
The PCM monitors and stores the heated oxygen
sensor (H02S) voltage information. The PCM
evaluates the H02S voltage samples in order to
determine the amount of time the H02S voltage was
out of range. The PCM compares the stored H02S
voltage samples taken within each sample period and
determines if majority of the samples are out of the
operating range.
The PCM monitors the H02S voltage and detects if
the voltage goes out of the bias range. If the PCM
does not detect the voltage went out of the bias range,
this OTC sets.

Engine

Engine Controls - 5.7l

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A last test failed (current DTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
" A History DTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 356.16-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
An oxygen supply inside the H02S is necessary for
proper operation. This supply of oxygen is provided
through the H02S wires. All H02S wires and
connections should be inspected for breaks or
contamination. Refer to Heated Oxygen
Sensor (H02S) Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. The engine must be at the normal operating
temperature before performing this test.

3. Using the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records


data may aid in locating an intermittent condi1ion.
If you can not duplicate the OTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data can help determine how many miles
since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass
Counter can also be used to determine how many
ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass
and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the same
freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle
speed, temperature etc.) that the PCM recorded.
This isolates when the DTC failed.
4. If the scan tool indicates the H02S voltage goes
below 200 mV, this indicates the H02S circuits
and PCM are OK.
5. This step verifies whether the signal circuit from
the PCM is OK.
6. This step verifies whether the low signal circuit
from the PCM is OK. A voltage indicates the
PCM and wiring are OK.
7. Disconnecting the PCM allows using a DMM in
order to test the continuity of the circuits. This
aids in locating an open or shorted circuit.

Circuit Description
The PCM supplies a bias voltage (approximately
450 mV) on the Heated Oxygen Sensor (H02S) signal
high and low circuits. When you turn the ignition to
the ON position, battery voltage is supplied to
the H02S heater. As the heater reaches the operating
temperature, the H02S voltage responds by
changing from a bias voltage range to the normal
operation. Typically, as the H02S reaches the
operating temperature, the H02S voltage goes from a
bias voltage to a voltage below 300 mV. Depending
on the exhaust gas content, it is possible for the H02S
voltage to go above 450 mV.
The PCM runs the heater test only on a cold start
(depends on the cumulative air flow) and only once an
ignition cycle. When you start the engine the PCM
monitors the H02S voltage. When the H02S voltage
goes above or below the bias range threshold, the
PCM determines how much time it took. If the
PCM detects that the process took too much time tor
the H02S to enter into normal operating range,
this OTC sets. The time the process takes the H02S
to reach operating temperature is based on the
amount of air that flows into the engine.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
" Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
.. For any test that requires probing the PCM or

J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
The heater diagnostic only runs on a cold start and
runs once per ignition cycle.

An oxygen supply inside the H028 is necessary for


proper operation. The H028 wires provide the supply
of oxygen. Inspect the H02S wires and connections
for breaks or contamination. Refer to Heated Oxygen
Sensor (H02S) Wiring Repairs in Wiring System.

For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms,

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. The engine must be allowed to cool, as the H028
may be at operating temperature and no drop or
rise in H028 voltage would occur. If the H028
voltage stays between 300-700 mV indicates the
H028 heater is inoperative.
3. If more than one H028 heater OTC is set, this is
a good indication that the H02S fuse is open.
Test all the related circuits going to all of the
heated oxygen sensors for a short to ground. If all
wiring is OK, it may be necessary to disconnect
each H02S one at a time to locate a shorted
sensor.
4. Lower the exhaust system to gain sufficient
access to the H02S and/or the H02S connector if
necessary. This step verifies whether the B+
supply is available at the sensor.
5. This step verifies whether a ground is available at
the sensor.
6. This step tests whether the H02S heater element
is internally open.

7. Inspect the ignition feed circuits at the Underhood


Electrical Center for poor connections.
8. Test the ground circuits for an open if more then
one heater OTC sets.

DTC P0171 Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 1


Circuit Description
The PCM controls a Closed Loop air/fuel metering
system in order to provide the best possible
combination of driveability, fuel economy, and emission
control. The PCM monitors the heated oxygen
sensor signal voltage and adjusts the fuel delivery
based on the signal voltage while in Closed Loop. A
change made to the fuel delivery changes the
Long and Short Term Fuel Trim values. The Short
Term Fuel Trim values change rapidly in response to
the H02S signal voltages. These changes fine
tune the engine fueling. The Long Term Fuel Trim
values change in response to trends in Short
Term Fuel Trim. The Long Term Fuel Trim makes
coarse adjustments to fueling in order to re-center and
restore control to Short Term Fuel Trim. You can
use a scan tool in order to monitor the Short and Long
Term Fuel Trim. The ideal fuel trim values are
around O percent. A positive Fuel Trim value indicates
that the PCM is adding fuel in order to compensate
for a lean condition. A negative Fuel Trim value
indicates that the PCM is reducing the amount of fuel
in order to compensate for a rich condition. If the
PCM detects an excessively Rich or Lean condition,
the PCM sets a OTC. The long term fuel trim
diagnostic parameter is an average of several of the
long term speed load learn cells which the PCM
selects based on the engine speed and the
engine load.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails, if the
diagnostic fails under the same conditions (load,
RPM, temperature, etc.) as the previous
ignition cycle that the test ran and failed.
The first time the diagnostic fails, the PCM
records the operating conditions in Failure
Records.
The second consecutive ignition cycle that this
diagnostic fails [under the same conditions
(load, RPM, temperature, etc.) as the previous
ignition cycle that the test. ran and failed], the PCM
stores this information in Freeze Frame. The
PCM copies any data previously stored in Freeze
Frame and copies the data into the Failure

Conditions for Clearing the. Mll/DTC


The PCM turns the MIL OFF after
three consecutive ignition cycles that the
diagnosUc runs and does not fail within the same
conditions that the OTC last failed.
Important: If the last failure was during a non-typical
driving condition, the MIL may remain ON longer
than the three ignition cycles. Review the Freeze
Frame/Failure Records for the last failure conditions.
A History OTC clears after forty consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
r.elated diagnostic does not report any failures.
A last test failed (Current OTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUOTC.

Test Description

Important:
" Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
" For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems for procedures.
This OTC sets if the engine runs out of fuel.
A fuel delivery malfunction causes this DTC to set.
Thoroughly inspect all items that cause a lean
condition.
Using the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data
may aid in locating an intermittent condition. If you
cannot duplicate the DTC, the information included in
the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data can
help determine how many miles since the DTC
set. The Fail Counter and Pass Counter can also help
determine how many ignition cycles the diagnostic
reported a pass and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle
within the same freeze frame conditions (RPM, load,
vehicle speed, temperature etc.) that you observed.
This will isolate when the DTC failed.
For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers .on the


diagnostic table.

DTC P0172 Fuel Trim System Rich Bank: 1


Circuit Description

The PCM controls a Closed Loop air/fuel metering


system in order to provide the best possible
combination of driveability, fuel economy, and emission
control. The PCM monitors the heated oxygen
sensor signal voltage and adjusts the fuel delivery
based on the signal voltage while in Closed Loop. A
change made to the fuel delivery changes the
Long and Short Term Fuel Trim values. The Short
Term Fuel Trimvalues change rapidly in response to
the H02S signal voltages. These changes fine
tune the engine fueling. The Long Term Fuel Trim
values change in response to trends in Short
Term Fuel Trim. The Long Term Fuel Trim makes
coarse adjustments to fueling in order to re-center and
restore control to Short Term Fuel Trim. You can
use a scan tool in order to monitor the Short and. Long
Term Fuel Trim. The ideal fuel trim values are
around O percent. A positive Fuel Trim value. indicates
that the PCM is adding fuel in order to compensate
for a lean condition. A negative Fuel Trim value
indicates that the PCM is reducing the amount of. fuel
in order to compensate for a rich condition. If the
PCM detects an excessively Rich or Lean condition,
the PCM sets a DTC. The long term fuel trim
diagnostic parameter is an average of several of the
long term speed load learn cells which the PCM
selects based on the engine speed and the
engine load.

Action Taken When the OTC Sets


.. The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails, if the
diagnostic fails under the same conditions (load,
RPM, temperature, etc.) as the previous
ignition cycle that the test ran and failed.
The first time the diagnostic fails, the PCM
records the operating conditions in Failure
Records.
The second consecutive ignition cycle that this
diagnostic fails [under the same conditions
(load, RPM, temperature, etc.) as the previous
ignition cycle that the test ran and failed], the PCM
stores this information in Freeze Frame. The
PCM copies any data previously stored in Freeze
Frame and copies the data into the Failure
Records. The PCM then overwrites the Freeze
Frame. The only exception to.this is if a Misfire
DTC was already recorded in Freeze Frame.
In this case, the Misfire data stays in Freeze
Frame and the PCM updates the Fuel Trim data
in the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC


The PCM turns the MIL OFF after

The TP sensor angle is less than 90 percent.
The vehicle speed is less than 137 km/h (85 mph).

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The average Long Term Fuel Trim cell values are
below a predetermined threshold.
Al.I the above conditions are present for
40 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails, if the
diagnostic fails under the same conditions (load,
RPM, temperature, etc.) as the previous
ignition cycle that the test ran and failed.
The firsttime the diagnostic fails, the PCM
records the operating conditions in Failure
Records.
The second consecutive ignition cycle that this
diagnostic fails [under the same conditions
(load, RPM, temperature, etc.) as the previous
ignition cycle that the test ran and failed], the PCM
stores this information in Freeze Frame. The
PCM copies any data previously stored in Freeze
Frame and copies the data into the Failure
Records. The PCM then overwrites the Freeze
Frame. The only exception to this is if a Misfire
DTC was already recorded in Freeze Frame.
In this case, the Misfire data stays in Freeze
Frame and the PCM updates the Fuel Trim data
in the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC


The PCM turns the MIL OFF after
three consecutive ignition cycles that the
diagnostic runs and does not fail within the same
conditions that the DTC last failed.

Important: If the last failure was during a non-typical


driving condition, the MIL may remain ON longer
than the three ignition .cycles. Review the Freeze
Frame/Failure Records for the last failure conditions.
A History DTC clears after forty consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
A last test failed (Current DTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

isolates when the OTC failed.
4. If OTC 172 is also set, then both banks are
operating rich. Inspect items that would cause both
banks to operate rich.
5; Excessive fuel in the oil will cause DTCs P0172
and P0175 to set at the same time. Remove
the PCV valve from the intake manifold and plug
with a suitable stopper. Also disconnect the
fresh air pipe from the rockercover and plug with
a suitable stopper. If the long term and short
term fuel trim values increase, indicates there is
fuel in the oil.

DTC P0200 Injector Control Circuit


Refer to Engine Controls Schematics, Fuel Injectors
for complete circuit details.

Circuit Description
The PCM enables an injector on the intake stroke of
each cylinder. Individual cylinder fuel control is referred
to as Sequential Multi-port Fuel Injection (SFI).
Ignition voltage is supplied directly to the fuel injectors.
The PCM controls each injector by grounding the
control circuit via an internal switch called a driver. The
primary function of the driver is to supply the ground
for the component being controlled. Each driver
or control circuit is equipped with a fault line which is
monitored by the PCM. When the PCM is
commanding an injector ON, the voltage of the control
circuit should be low. When the PCM is commanding
the injector OFF, the voltage potential of the control
circuit should be high. If the PCM detects the injector
control circuit voltage other than what is expected,
the PCM sets a DTC.

Conditions for Running the DTC


" The engine speed is more than 400 RPM.
" The ignition voltage is more than 6.0 volts but less
than 18.0 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The PCM detects the wrong voltage potential on any
injector driver circuit for 5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
.. The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


" The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
" A last test failed (current DTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
.. A History DTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
"' Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that 1he
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
.. For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
A misfire may not be apparent at idle. The misfire may
only occur above idle under a load. Road test the
vehicle and monitor the misfire current counters.
Observe, if more than one cylinder is mis-firing, the
scan tool may only display one cylinder mis-firing. This
will not be apparent until the repair is completed.
Also, if an injector fuse is open for one side of
the engine, the scan tool may only display
2 or 3 cylinders mis-firing.
When the injector driver is disabled, an engine misfire
will be apparent and a misfire DTC sets.
For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to step numbers on the


diagnostic table.
2. This step determines if a malfunction is present.
The Misfire Current Counters will not increment
if certain DTCs set at the same time or after
DTC P0300. sets. Refer to conditions for running
OTC P0300 for applicable DTC list.
If more than one cylinder is misfiring, the Misfire
Current Counters may increment for only
one cylinder. Example: Cylinders 1 and 8 are both
misfiring, yet only cylinder 8 increments on the
Misfire Current Counter.
If one injector fuse open, only two or three Misfire
current counters may increment for the
corresponding side of the engine.
3. There are two ways to isolate a malfunctioning
injector circuit:
DTC P0300 indicates a misfire is present. So
use the Misfire Current Counters to locate
the cylinder that is misfiring.
If no misfire DTC is present, Start and idle the
engine while monitoring Misfire Current
Counters. If a misfire is present, the Misfire
Current Counters will increase for a cylinder
that has a misfire.

Engine
4. The injector fuses also feed the ignition
coil/modules. Thoroughly inspect the circuits going
to the ignition coil/modules for a short to ground.
A shorted ignition coil/module may also cause
a fuse to open.
7. Inspect the injector connections before replacing
the injector. A faulty connection causes an
inoperative injector.

11. Disconnecting the PCM allows testing the


continuity of the circuits with the DMM. This aids
in locating an open or shorted circuit. Tests
for an ignition feed circuit that is shorted to ground.
13. Tests for an ignition feed circuit that is shorted to
ground.
14. The injector fuses also feed the ignition

Circuit Description
When you turn the ignition switch to the on position,
the PCM activates the in-tank fuel pump. The fuel
pump remains on as long as the PCM receives
reference pulses from the electronic ignition system. If
there are no reference pulses, the PCM turns the
fuel pump off after about 2-3 seconds. The PCM
controls the fuel pump relay by applying B+ to the
control circuit via an internal switch called a driver. The
primary function of the driver is to supply a voltage
to the fuel pump relay. The driver has a fault line which
the PCM monitors. When the PCM commands the
fuel pump on, the voltage of the control circuit should
be high (near battery voltage). When the PCM
commands the control circuit to the fuel pump OFF,
the voltage potential of the circuit should be low (near
O volts). This DTC sets when the PCM detects the
fuel pump control circuit is shorted to ground.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The engine speed is more than 400 RPM.
The ignition voltage is between 6.0 volts and
18.0 volts.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM rec.ords the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


A last test failed (current DTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A History DTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The PCM detects that the commanded state of
the driver and the actual state of the control
circuit do not match.
All the above conditions present for a minimum of
2.5 seconds.

DTC P0300 Engine Misfire Detected


Circuit Description

The Crankshaft Position sensor is mounted through


the side of the engine block at the rear of Bank 2
behind the starter assembly. The Crankshaft Position
sensor works in conjunction with a 24X reluctor
wheel on the crankshaft. The reluctor wheel is inside
the engine immediately in front of the rear main
bearing. The PCM provides a i 2 volt power supply to
the CKP sensor as well as a ground and a signal
circuit.
A misfire causes a change in crankshaft speed. The
PCM 1imes the interval b.etween each pulse and
compares each new time interval with the previous
one in order to determine when an excessive change
in crankshaft speed has occurred. You can expect
a certain amount of acceleration/deceleration between
each iiring stroke, but if the crankshaft speed
changes are greater than an expected amount, the
PCM interprets this as a misfire.
The PCM uses the Crankshaft Position sensor for
both spark and fueling. As the crankshaft rotates, the
reluctor wheel teeth interrupt a magnetic field
produced by a magnet within the sensor. The sensors
internal circuitry detects this and produces a signal
which the PCM reads. The PCM uses this 24X signal
in combination with the Camshaft Position sensor
1X signal in order to accurately determine crankshaft
position. The PCM also calculates a 4X signal
from this information. The PCM uses the 4X signal for
internal calculations. The 4X signal also provides a
tach signal for any .device which requires one.
Observe that as long as the PCM receives the
Crankshaft Position sensor 24X signal, the engine will
start. The PCM can determine top dead center for
all cylinders by using the Crankshaft Position sensor
24X signal alone. The Camshaft Position sensor
1X signal is used by the PCM to determine if
the cylinder at top dead center is on the firing stroke,
or the exhaust stroke. The system attempts
synchronization and looks for an increase in engine
speed indicating the engine started. If the PCM
does not detect an increase in engine speed, the PCM
assumes it incorrectly synchronized to the exhaust
stroke and re-syncs to the opposite cam position.
A slightly longer cranking time may be a symptom of

The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) under the following conditions:
The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails, if the
diagnostic fails under the same conditions (load,
RPM, temperature, etc.) as the previous
ignition cycle that the test ran and failed.
The first time the diagnostic fails, the PCM
records the operating conditions in Failure
Records.
The PCM determines the percent of misfire over a
1,000 revolution period is high enough to cause
excessive tail pipe emissions. The PCM
illuminates the Malfunction Indicator lamp the next
consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic
runs and fails, if the diagnostic fails under
the same conditions (load, RPM, temperature,
etc.) as the previous ignition cycle that the test ran
and failed.
Or
" The PCM flashes the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails a
catalyst damaging misfire.

Test Description

Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
The following may cause a misfire:
Running the vehicle out of fuel causes sufficient
misfire to set OTC P0300. A vehicle that is out
of fuel may have OTC P0461 also set.
A restricted fuel filter can cause sufficient misfire
to set OTC P0300. Refer to Fuel System

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the


diagnostic table.
2. A misfire may not be apparent at idle. The misfire
may only occur above idle or under a load. Road
test the vehicle and monitor the Misfire Current
Counters.

Diagnosis.

A misfire may not be apparent at idle. The misfire


may only occur above idle under a load. Road
test the vehicle and monitor the misfire current
counters.
Observe, if more than one cylinder is mis-firing,
the scan tool may only display one cylinder
mis-firing. This will not be apparent until the repair
is completed. Also, if an ignition coil/module
ground circuit is open for one side of the engine,
the scan tool may only display 2 or 3 cylinders
mis-firing. Inspect the ground circuit for the ignition
coil/modules on the cylinder bank of the engine
that has more then one cylinder mis-firing.
Excessive vibration from sources other than the
engine could cause a misfire OTC. The following
are possible sources of vibration:
- Variable thickness brake rotor
- Drive shaft not balanced
- Certain rough road conditions
For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.

The Misfire Current Counters will not increment if


certain DTCs set at the same time or after
DTCP0300 sets, Refer to conditions for running
DTC P0300 for applicable OTC list.
If more than one cylinder is misfiring, the Misfire
Current Counters may increment for only
one cylinder. Example: Cylinders 1 and 8 are both
misfiring, yet only cylinder 8 increments on the
Misfire Current Counter.
If one injector fuse open, only two or three Misfire
Current Counters may increment for the
corresponding side of the engine.
Wetting down.the secondary ignition system with
water from a spray bottle may help locate
damaged or deteriorated components. Look/listen
for arcing or misfiring as you apply the water.
If the Misfire Current Counters are incrementing
and there is no apparent misfire, an erratic
CKP sensor signal .could be the cause. Perform
the diagnostic table for OTC P0335 first if this
condition is suspected.
If a misfire is present and you suspect a fuel
control condition, force the fuel system into Open
Loop using the scan tool and allow the engine
to run for a few minutes. If this eliminates
the misfire, referto any fuel control related DTCs
which are set. If no other DTCs are set, refer
to the Engine Scan Tool Data List.

4. The cylinder with the more significant misfire may


cause another cylinders counter to increment
only by a small amount.
10. If the engine misfire moves with the spark plug,
this is good indication that you should. replace
the spark plug.
12. If you cannot locate a fuel system condition, refer
to Engine Mechanical-5.7L. An engine mechanical
condition can cause a spark plug to gas foul.
Inspect for loose rockers, collapsed lifters or worn
camshaft lobes.
17. If the customers concern is the MIL is flashing,
this indicates that a Catalyst Misfire has
occurred. Drive the vehicle in the conditions to run
the catalyst diagnostic.

DTC P0325 Knock Sensor Module Performance


Circuit Description
The KS system monitors both knock sensors in order
to determine if pre-detonation is present. If the KS
system determines that excessive knock
(pre-detonation) is present, the PCM retards the spark
timing based on the signals from the KS system.
When knock is present, the KS system voltage input
signal to the PCM goes low. The PCM then retards
timing until no knock is present. When the KS system
is malfunctioning, the KS circuit voltage going to
the PCM goes low. The PCM interprets this low signal
as spark knock.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The engine speed is between 1,650 RPM and
3,000 RPM.
The MAP is more than 49 kPa.
The engine coolant temperature is more than
60C (135F).
The throttle angle is more than 0.5 percent.
The engine run time is more than 20 seconds.

Conditions for Setting the OTC


A malfunction with the KS system or circuits within
the PCM are faulty.
All above conditions present for 3.0 seconds.

Action Taken When the OTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL} on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/OTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A last test failed (current DTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
O A History DTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Circuit Description
The Knock Sensor (KS) system detects engine
pre-detonation. The PCM retards the spark timing
based on the signals from the knock sensors.
The knock sensors produce an AC voltage when
specific frequencies are detected. The knock sensor
voltages are an input to the PCM. The amount of
AC voltage produced is proportional to the intensity of
the knock.
An operating engine produces a normal amount of
engine mechanical vibration (noise). The knock
sensors produce an AC voltage signal from this noise.
When an engine operates, the PCM learns the
minimum and maximum frequency of the noise the
engine produces. When the PCM determines that this
frequency is less than or greater than the expected
amount, a knock sensor OTC will set.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The engine speed is between 1,650 RPM and
3,000 RPM.
The MAP is more than 49 kPa.
" The engine coolant temperature is more than
60C (i 35F).
The throttle angle is greater than 0.5 percent.
The engine run time is more than 20 seconds.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The PCM determines that this frequency is less than
or more than the expected amount for less than
3 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Circuit Description
The Crankshaft Position Sensor CKP is mounted in
the right rear of the engine block behind the starter.
The CKP sensor works in conjunction with a
24X reluctor wheel mounted on the rear of the
crankshaft. The CKP sensor has a B+ power supply,
a ground, and a signal circuit.
As the crankshaft rotates, the reluctor wheel teeth
interrupt a magnetic field produced by a magnet within
the sensor. The sensor's internal circuitry detects
this and produces a signal which the PCM reads. The
PCM uses this signal to accurately measure
crankshaft velocity which is a variable used in order to
detect misfire, and control spark and fueling.

Conditions for Running the DTC


DTCs P0101, P0102, P0103, P0341, P0342,
P0343 are not set.
The CMP sensor is transitioning.
The MAF is more than 3 g/s.
The ignition switch in the crank mode.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The PCM determines no signal from the CKP sensor
for less than 8 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL} on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC


A last test failed (current DTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does. not fail.
" A History OTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
The following conditions may cause this DTC .to set:
O Poor connections/terminal tension at the sensor.
Refer to Testing tor Intermittent and Poor
Connections in Wiring Systems.
Crankshaft reluctor wheel damage or improper
installation.
The sensor coming in contact with the
reluctor wheel.
., The engine running out of fuel.
Excess crankshaft end play causes the CKP sensor
reluctor wheel to move out of alignment with the CKP
sensor. This could result in any one of the following:
O A no start
" A start and stall
" Erratic performance
For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.

Circuit Description

Conditions for Running the DTC

The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is mounted


through the top of the engine block at the rear of the
valley cover. The CMP sensor works in conjunction
with a 1X reluctor wheel on the camshaft. The reluctor
wheel is inside the engine immediately in front of
the rear cam bearing. The PCM provides a 12 volt
power supply to the CMP sensor as well as a ground
and a signal circuit.
The CMP sensor determines whether a cylinder is on
a firing stroke or on an exhaust stroke. As the
camshaft rotates, the reluctor wheel interrupts a
magnetic field produced by a magnet within the
sensor. The sensors internal circuitry detects this and
produces a signal which the PCM reads. The PCM
uses this 1X signal in combination with the Crankshaft
Position (CKP) sensor 24X signal in order to
determine crankshaft position and stroke. This
diagnostic monitors for a loss of Camshaft Position
sensor signal.
Observe that as long as the PCM receives the
Crankshaft Position sensor 24X signal, the engine will
start. The PCM can determine top dead center for
all cylinders by using the Crankshaft Position sensor
24X signal alone. The Camshaft Position sensor
1X signal is used by the PCM to determine if
the cylinder at top dead center is on the firing stroke,
or the exhaust stroke. The system attempts
synchronization and looks for an increase in engine
speed indicating the engine started. If the PCM
does not detect an increase in engine speed, the PCM
assumes it incorrectly synchronized to the exhaust
stroke and re-syncs to the opposite cam position.
A slightly longer cranking time may be a symptom of
this condition.

The engine speed is less than 4,000 RPM.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The PCM detects that a CMP to CKP mis-match has
occurred for 10 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL} on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
" The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A last test failed (current DTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A History DTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
.. Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Test Description

Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
The following conditions may cause this DTC to set:
Poor connections: Refer to Testing for Intermittent
and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.
Camshaft reluctor wheel damage.
The sensor coming in contact with the
reluctor wheel.
For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the


diagnostic table.

2. This step verifies that the malfunction is present.


3. This step tests for EMI (Electro Magnetic
Interference) on the CMP sensor circuits.
6. Damage to the reluctor wheel would affect the
CMP sensor output. Vertical lines across the
face of the sensor could indicate foreign material
passing between the CMP sensor and the
reluctor wheel. This condition would cause this
OTC to set. Replace the CMP sensor if damage to
the sensor is evident.

Circuit Description
The Camshaft Position sensor is mounted through the
top of the engine block at the rear of the valley
cover. The CMP sensor works in conjunction with a
1X reluctor wheel on the camshaft. The reluctor wheel
is inside the engine immediately in front of the rear
cam bearing. The PCM provides a 12 volt power
supply to the CMP sensor as well as a ground and a
signal circuit.
The CMP sensor determines whether a cylinder is on
a firing stroke or on an exhaust stroke. As the
Camshaft rotates, the reluctor wheel interrupts a
magnetic field produced by a magnet within the
sensor. The sensors internal circuitry detects this arid
produces a signal which the PCM reads. The PCM
uses this 1X signal in combination with the Crankshaft
Position sensor 24X signal in order to determine
crankshaft position and stroke. This diagnostic
monitors for a loss of Camshaft Position sensor signal.
Observe that as long as the PCM receives the
Crankshaft Position sensor 24X signal, the engine will
start. The PCM can determine top dead center for
all cylinders by using the Crankshaft Position sensor
24X signal alone. The Camshaft Position sensor
1X signal is used by the PCM to determine if
the cylinder at top dead center is on the firing stroke,
or the exhaust stroke. The system attempts
synchronization and looks for an increase in engine
speed indicating the engine started. If the PCM
does not detect an increase in engine speed, the PCM
assumes it incorrectly synchronized to the exhaust
stroke and re-syncs to the opposite cam position.
A slightly longer cranking time may be a symptom of
this condition.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The engine speed is less than 4,000 RPM.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The PCM detects the Cam signal is stuck low when
the signal should be high for 5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


" The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
.. The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the F.reeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


" The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
.. A last test failed (current OTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
" A History DTC clears after 40 consecutive

Circuit Description
The ignition system on this engine uses an individual
ignition coil/module for each cylinder. The PCM
controls the ignition system operation. The PCM
controls each coil using one of eight Ignition
Control (IC) circuits. The PCM commands the IC
circuit low when a spark event is requested. This
causes the IC module to energize the ignition coil to
create a spark at the spark plug. Each ignition
coil/module has the following circuits:
A power feed
A ground circuit
An ignition control (IC) circuit
A reference low circuit
Sequencing and timing are PCM controlled. This DTC
sets when the IC circuit is out of range.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The engine is operating.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The PCM detects the ignition control circuit is
grounded, open or shorted to a voltage.
All conditions met for less than 1 second.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A last test failed (current DTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A History DTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Circuit Description
The ignition system on this engine uses an individual
ignition coil/module for each cylinder. The PCM
controls the ignition system operation. The PCM
controls each coil using one of eight Ignition
Control (IC) circuits. The PCM commands the IC
circuit low when a spark event is requested. This
causes the IC module to energize the ignition coil to
create a spark at the spark plug. Each ignition
coil/module has the following circuits:
A power feed
A wound circuit
An ignition control (IC) circuit
A reference low circuit
Sequencing and timing are PCM controlled. This DTC
sets when the IC circuit is out of range.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The engine is operating.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The PCM detects the ignition control circuit is
grounded, open or shorted to a voltage.
All conditions met for less than 1 second.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MILJDTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A last test failed (current DTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A History DTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Engine
Diagnostic Aids

J Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.

Circuit Description
The ignition system on this engine uses an individual
ignition coil/module for each cylinder. The PCM
controls the ignition system operation. The PCM
controls each coil using one of eight Ignition
Control (IC) circuits. The PCM commands the IC
circuit low when a spark event is requested. This
causes the IC module to energize the ignition coil to
create a spark at the spark plug. Each ignition
coil/module has the following circuits:
., A power feed
" A ground circuit
" An ignition control (IC) circuit
A reference low circuit
Sequencing and timing are PCM controlled. This OTC
sets when the IC circuit is out of range.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The engine is operating.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The PCM detects the ignition control circuit is
grounded, open or shorted to a voltage.
" All conditions met for less than 1 second.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indica1or
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

CondiUons for Clearing the MIL/DTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A last test failed (current OTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A History OTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUOTC.

DTC P0401 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Flow Insufficient


Circuit Description
The PCM tests the EGR system during deceleration
by momentarily commanding the EGR valve open. The
pressure in the intake manifold increases when the
EGR valve is open. The PCM monitors the Manifold
Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor signal during
the EGR system diagnostic in order to determine the
amount of EGR flow. The PCM calculates an error
based on the difference between the actual MAP
increase and a predetermined value. The PCM records
the error and adjusts an internal fail counter towards
the fail threshold if the error is too great. The PCM sets
a DTC P0401 when the fail counter exceeds the fail
threshold. The number of test samples required
to exceed the fail threshold varies according to the
magnitude of the detected flow errors.
The PCM allows only one EGR flow test sample to be
taken during an ignition cycle. Following a scan tool
Clear Info or a battery disconnect the PCM allows
twelve test samples during the first ignition cycle in
order to aid in verifying a repair.

Diagnostic: Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminate intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or a
component harness connector, use the J 35616-A
connector test adapter kit. Using this kit prevents
damage to the harness/component terminals.
Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters in Wiring
Systems.
1. Use a scan tool in order to clear info. Run the
EGR flow test in order to verify a repair. Keep
the followlng items in mind when running the EGR
flow test:
The PCM runs the EGR flow test during a
gradual deceleration.
The PCM runs the EGR flow test during a
closed throttle condition.
The PCM runs the EGR flow test at vehicle
speeds between 42 km/h (26 MPH) and
113 km/h (70 MPH).
Several deceleration cycles will be necessary
to run a sufficient number of EGR flow test
samples (9-12).
2. Inspect for the following conditions:
Vacuum restriction to the MAP sensor.
A restriction to the MAP sensor can cause the
EGR flow test to fail due to insufficient MAP
changes being monitored during the test.
Inspect for objects blocking the vacuum 10 the
MAP sensor.
An engine that is running poorly may cause
this DTC to set.
Poor connections or a damaged harness.
" If the harness appears to be OK, observe the
Actual EGR Position display on the scan tool
while moving connectors and wiring harnesses
related to the EGR valve. A change in the
display indicates the location of the
malfunction.
3. For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.

Circuit Description
The ability of the PCM to control the EGR valve is
verified with this test. The PCM calculates an
error based on the difference between the actual EGR
position and the desired EGR position. The PCM
sets this OTC if the error is too great.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The ignition voltage is more than 11.7 volts.
The desired EGR position is more than O percent.

.Conditions for Setting the DTC


The difference between the desired EGR position
and the actual EGR position is more than
20 percent.
The failure counter is more than a
predetermined value.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM disables the EGR for the ignition cycle.
The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive drive cycle
the diagnostic runs and fails.
" The PCM records the operating conditions the
first time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores
this information in the Freeze Frame and/or the
Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure
on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the
PCM records the operating conditions at the time
of the failure. The PCM writes the conditions
to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure
records.

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A last test failed (current OTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.

A History OTC clears after 4o consecutive


warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scah tool in order to clear the MIUOTC.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminate intrusion into the PCM.
" For any test that requires probing the PCM or a
component harness connector, use the J 35616-A
connector test adapter kit Using this kit prevents
damage. to the hamess/c:omponent terminals.
Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters in Wiring
Systems.

For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
Diagnostic Table.
2. This step determines if the EGR valve can be
commanded open.
3. Excessive resistance in the EGR control circuit or
the EGR ground circuit will result in the EGR not
responding correctly to the commanded EGR
position.
4. This step tests the EGR Valve control circuit.
5. This step tests the EGR Valve ground circuit.
6. Excessive resistance in the control circuit or the
ground circuit will cause this OTC to set. With
the EGR commanded to 100% the test lamp
should light with full intensity. Connect the test
lamp across the battery terminals and compare the
test lamp intensity to the EGR control circuit
intensity.

Circuit Description
An Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system is used
in order to lower Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) emission
levels. The EGR system accomplishes this by feeding
small amounts of exhaust gas back into the
combustion chamber. High combustion temperatures
cause NOx. Combustion temperatures are reduced
when the air/fuel mixture is diluted with the
exhaust gases.
The EGR valve is designed to accurately supply
exhaust gases to the engine without the use of intake
manifold vacuum. The EGR valve controls the
exhaust flow into the intake manifold from the exhaust
manifold through an orifice with a PCM controlled
pintle. The PCM controls the pintle position using
inputs from the Throttle Position (TP) sensor,
the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor and, the
Engine Coolant Temperature sensor. The PCM
commands the EGR valve in order to supply the
correct amount of exhaust gas recirculation for
the current engine operating conditions. This can be
monitored on a scan tool as the Desired EGR Position.
The PCM monitors the position of the EGR valve
through a feedback signal. The PCM supplies
a 5.0 volt reference and a ground to the EGR valve. A
voltage signal representing the EGR valve pintle
position is sent to the PCM from the EGR valve. This
feedback signal can also be monitored on a scan
tool and is the actual position of the EGR pintle. The
Actual EGR Position should always be near the
commanded or Desired EGR Position.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The ignition voltage is more than 11. 7 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The EGR feedback signal voltage is less
than 0.14 volts.
All conditions are present for 10 seconds.

Due to the moisture associated with exhaust systems,


the EGR valve may freeze and stick in colder
weather at times. After the vehicle is brought into a
warm shop for repairs, the valve warms and the
concern disappears. By monitoring the Actual EGR
and Desired EGR Positions on a cold engine with
a scan tool, the fault can be verified easily.
For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. If DTC P1635 sets at the same time, this indicates
that the 5 voltage reference circuit is either
shorted to a ground or shorted to a voltage. The
5 volt reference circuit is internally connected
within the PCM. The MAP sensor circuits may be
causing this OTC to set. Refer to DTC P1635
for further diagnosis.
3. This step determines if the malfunction is present.

E11gine
4. Using the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records
data may aid in locating an intermittent condition.
If you cannot duplicate the OTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data can help determine how many miles
since the DTC .set. The Fail Counter and Pass
Counter can also help determine how many
ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass
and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the same
freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle
speed, temperature etc.) that you observed. This
isolates when the OTC failed.

5. If the scan tool displays 5 volts, the EGR pintle


position signal, 5 volt reference circuit, and the
PCM are OK.
6. If the scan tool displays 5 volts, the EGR pintle
position signal circuit and the PCM are OK.
7. Disconnecting the PCM allows using the DMM in
order to test the continuity of the circuits. This
aids in locating an open or a shorted circuit.

Circuit Description

The engine operates tor more than 2 seconds.

An AIR pump is used on this vehicle to lower tail pipe


emissions on start-up. The PCM supplies a ground
to the AIR pump relay, which energizes the AIR pump.
The PCM monitors the H02S voltages to diagnose
the AIR system.
During the AIR test the PCM activates the AIR pump
during closed loop operation. When the AIR is
activated, the PCM monitors the H02S voltages and
short term fuel trim values for both banks of the
engine. If the AIR system is operating properly, the
H02S voltages should go low and the short term fuel
trim should go high.
If the PCM determines that the H02S voltages tor
BOTH banks did not respond as expected during the
tests, DTC P0410 sets. If only one sensor responded,
the PCM sets either a DTC Pi 415 or Pi 416 to
indicate on which bank the AIR system is inoperative.

The engine run time is more than 15 seconds after


closed loop operation.

A last test failed (current OTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A History OTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUOTC.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM, Ensure that the

Circuit Description
The PCM controls the relay by grounding the control
circuit via an internal switch called a driver. The
primary function of the driver is to supply the ground
for the component being controlled. Each driver
has a fault line which the PCM monitors. When the
PCM commands a component ON, the voltage of the
control circuit should be low (near O volts). When
the PCM commands the control circuit to a component
OFF, the voltage potential of the circuit should be
high (near the battery voltage). If the fault detection
circuit senses a voltage other than what is expected,
the fault line status changes causing the OTC
to set.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The engine speed is more than 400 RPM.
The ignition voltage is between 6.0 volts and
18 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The PCM detects that the commanded state of
the driver and the actual state of the control
circuit do not match.
All the above conditions are present for a minimum
of 5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
e The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


A last test failed (current OTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
.. A History OTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
" Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUOTC.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
., Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminate intrusion into the PCM.
" For any test that requires probing the PCM or a
component harness connector, use the J 35616-A
connector test adapter kit. Using this kit prevents
damage to the harness/component terminals.
Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters in Wiring
Systems.
" The scan tool offers three modes of AIR output
controls. AIR pump relay, AIR solenoid, and
AIR system.

For underhood fuseblock terminal identification,


refer to Electrical Center Identification Views in.

3. Listen for an audible click when the solenoid valve
operates. Be sure that both the ON and the OFF
states are commanded. Repeat the commands
as necessary.
5. Tests for voltage to the AIR solenoid valve.
6. Verifies that the PCM is providing ground to the
AIR solenoid valve.
7. Tests if a ground is constantly being applied to
the AIR solenoid valve.

which oxidizes the HC and CO present in the exhaust
gas. This reaction converts them into harmless
watervapor and Carbon Dioxide. The catalyst also
reduces NOx, converting it to Nitrogen. The PCM
monitors this process using Bank 1 H02S #2. Bank 1
H02S #2, located in the exhaust stream past the
three-way catalytic converter, produces an output
signal which indicates the oxygen storage capacity of
the catalyst. This determines the catalysts ability to
convert exhaust emissions effectively. If the catalyst is
functioning correctly, the Bank 1 H02S #2 signal
will be far less active than that produced by Bank 1
H02S #1. This indicates that the three-way catalytic
converters oxygen storage capacity is below a
threshold considered acceptable.
When the conditions for running this DTC are met, the
following occurs:
The PCM captures the current mar H02S
rich/lean status.
The Air Fuel ratio transitions from rich to lean or
lean to rich depending on the capture rear
H02S rich/lean status.
The Air Fuel ratio transitions a second time
opposite the first Air Fuel ratio transition.
O The PCM captures the response time (the time
the H02S goes from below 300 mV to above
600 mV and from 600 mV to below 300 mV) of the
front and rear Heated Oxygen sensors when
the Air Fuel ratio transitions occurred.
The PCM measures the time it takes the rear
H02S voltage to cross a reference rich/lean
threshold minus the time it takes the front H02S
voltage to cross the same rich/lean threshold.
The time difference from the front and rear H02S
is the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst.
This DTC sets if the time exceeds a predetermined
threshold.

DTC P0430 Catalyst System low Efficiency Bank 2


Circuit Description
In order to maintain a reasonably low emissions of
Hydrocarbons (HC), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and
Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), the engine controls system
uses a three,way catalytic converter. The catalyst
within the converter promotes a chemical reaction
which oxidizes the HC and CO present in the exhaust
gas. This reaction converts them into harmless
water vapor and Carbon Dioxide. The catalyst also
reduces NOx, converting it to Nitrogen. The PCM
monitors this process using Bank 2_ H02S #2. Bank 2
H02S #2, located in the exhaust stream past the
three-way catalytic converter, produces an output
signal which indicates the oxygen storage capacity of
the catalyst. This determines the catalysts ability to
convert exhaust emissions effectively. It the catalyst is
functioning correctly, the Bank 2 H02S #2 signal
will be tar less active than that produced by Bank 2
H02S #1. This indicates that the three-way catalytic
converters oxygen storage capacity is below a
threshold considered acceptable.
When the conditions tor running this OTC are met, the
following occurs:
The PCM captures the current rear H02S
rich/lean status.

The Air Fuel ratio transitions from rich to lean or


lean to rich depending on the capture rear
H02S rich/lean status.
The Air Fuel ratio transitions a second time
opposite the first Air Fuel ratio transition.
The PCM captures the response time (the time
the H02S goes from below 300 mV to above
600 mV and from 600 mV to below 300 mV) of the
front and rear Heated Oxygen sensors when
the Air Fuel ratio transitions occurred.
The PCM measures the time it takes the rear
H02S voltage to cross a reference rich/lean
threshold minus the time it takes the front H02S
voltage to cross the same rich/lean threshold.
The time difference from the front and rear H02S
is the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst.
This OTC sets it the time exceeds a predetermined
threshold.

Circuit Description

The barometric pressure is more than 75 kPa.

The PCM tests the EV AP system for the following


condilions:
Large and small leaks
" Excess vacuum
" Purge flow during non-commanded conditions
" Fuel Level and Fuel Pressure sensor faults
O EVAP Purge and Vent Valve faults
The PCM monitors the Fuel Tank Pressure sensor in
order to determine the level of vacuum/pressure in
the EVAP system. The PCM commands both .the
EVAP Purge Solenoid and the EVAP Vent Valve ON
when the Conditions for Running the OTC are met
in order to apply an engine vacuum to the EVAP
system: The PCM commands the EVAP Purge
Solenoid OFF once the system has reached a
predetermined level of vacuum. This test verifies if a
vacuum can be achieved in the EVAP system.
Failure to develop a vacuum may be caused by a
large leak or a restriction. This OTC sets after twice
failing the above test.
Conditions for Running the DTC
" DTCs P0107, P0108, P0112, P0113, P0117,

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A last test failed (current DTC) clears when. the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A History DTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
" Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminate intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or a
component harness connector, use the J 35616-A
connector test adapter kit. Using this kit prevents
damage to the harness/component terminals.
Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters in Wiring
Systems.
An accurate indication of fuel level is required for the
PCM to properly Pass or Fail this DTC. Always
diagnose fuel level sensor DTCs before performing
this DTC diagnostic table. Always inspect for fuel level
sensor DTCs stored as History.
Perform a physical inspection of the EVAP system.
Inspect for the following conditions:
A loose, missing, defective, or incorrect fuel
tank cap
" A loose or missing EV AP service port cap.
" A loose, missing, or damaged schrader valve.
" Incorrectly routed or defective EVAP system
vacuum and vapor lines
.. A malfunctioning or damaged vapor canister
.. A damaged fuel sender 0-ring
Inspect for charcoal release from the vapor canister.
Refer to the EVAP System Cleaning procedure.
Excessive resistance in any circuit related to the EVAP
system may cause this DTC to set. Listen for an
audible click as the EV AP vent solenoid and the EVAP
purge solenoid are commanded using the scan tool.
If either component does not operate when
commanded ON and OFF, and no other DTC is set,
inspect the related circuits for excessive resistance.

Engine
The vacuum and pressure in the EV AP system is
measured in inches of H20 (water). Most gauges
measure vacuum in inches of Hg (mercury) and
pressure in psi (pounds per square inch). The following
table shows how the values compare:

Conditions for Running the Service Bay Test


" The Service Bay Test may have to be performed
in cold ambient air temperatures when the
vehicle is running a winter grade fuel. The scan
tool displays a message when the service bay test
does not run.
- The battery voltage is between 10.5 and
17.5 volts.
- The fuel level is between 15 percent and
85 percent of the full capacity.
- The engine temperature is between 3.5C
(38F) and 35C (95F).
The scan tool displays Test Aborted if any of the
above conditions are not met.
.. Using Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data
may aid in locating an intermittent condition. If
you cannot duplicate the DTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data can aid in determining how many
miles since the DTC set. The Fail Counter
and Pass Counter can also aid determining how
many ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a
pass and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the
same freeze frame conditions (RPM, load,
vehicle speed, temperature etc.) that you
observed. This will isolate when the DTC failed.
.. For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
Diagnostic Table.
3. It may be necessary to partially lower the fuel tank
to inspect the upper portion of the tank and the
EVAP line connections.
4. An intermittent leak or restriction is indicated if the
vehicle passes the Service Bay Test. A fuel tank
cap that is loose or off causes this DTC to set.
If the Service Bay Test can not be run, proceed to
step 5. If a fault is not currently present the
diagnostic table steps will return you to step 3.

(.

Engine
12. This step tests for a leak at the top of the fuel
tank, at the fuel filler hose, and the fuel cap. Place
the u.ltrasonic leak detector in these areas.
Refer to the information supplied with the EVAP
pressure/purge diagnostic cart on proper setup
and adjustment procedures.
13. With pressure applied it may be necessary to
disconnect the EVAP lines at the components
to verify that a line or component is not restricted.
A restriction would prevent a vacuum (or the
Step 10 test pressure) from forming in the
fuel tank.

Engine Controls - 5.7L 6-1635


19. A Fuel Tank Pressure sensor that does not
correctly respond to pressure (or vacuum) causes
this OTC to set.
The Fuel Tank Pressure sensor range is from
7.5 in. H20 of pressure to -17.5 in. H20 of
pressure (vacuum).
In order to test the Fuel Tank Pressure sensor for
vacuum response, command the EVAP Purge
Solenoid Valve ON with the engine running
and quickly SEAL the system. Leaving the EVAP
Purge Solenoid Valve ON for a longer period
of time allows a greater level of vacuum to
develop.

Circuit Description
The PCM tests the EV AP system for the following
conditions:
Large and small leaks
EKcess vacuum
Purge flow during non-commanded conditions
Fuel Level and Fuel Pressure sensor faults
" EVAP Purge and Vent Valve faults
The PCM monitors the Fuel Tank Pressure sensor in
order to determine the level of vacuum/pressure in
the EVAP system. The PCM commands both the
EVAP Purge Solenoid and the EVAP Vent Valve ON
when the Conditions for Running the DTC are met
in order to apply an engine vacuum to the EVAP
system. The PCM commands the EVAP Purge
Solenoid OFF once the system has reached a
predetermined level of vacuum. The EV AP system
should HOLD the vacuum in the sealed system. The
PCM sets this OTC in order to indicate a small
leak if the EV AP system fails to hold a predetermined
level of vacuum for a predetermined length of time.
This DTC sets after failing the above test twice.

Conditions for Running the DTC


DTCs P0107, P0108, P0112, P0113, P0117,
P0118, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0125, P0420,
P0430, P0500, P0502, P0503, P0562, P0563, and
H02S DTCs are not set.

Vehicle speed less than 113 Kph (70 mph).


TP sensor angle less than 75 percent.
The barometric pressure is more than 75 kPa.
The fuel level is between 15 percent and
85 percent of full capacity.
The engine coolant temperature is between 4C
(39F} and 30C (86F).
The intake air temperature is between 4C (39F)
and 30C (86F}.
The start up engine coolant temperature and
intake air temperature are within 9C (16F)
of each other.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The vacuum in the EVAP system decays (leaks) at
too fast a rate.
Important: This OTC does NOT report a first failed
test. A first fail of this OTC will have a scan tool status
as Not Hun. Use the scan tool data display parameter
of EVAP Test Result to determine if this OTC has
failed or passed for this ignition cycle:

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL} when the diagnostic runs and fails.
" The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores this
information in the Freeze Frame and/or the Failure
Records.

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A last test failed (current DTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A History DTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminate intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or a
component harness connector, use the J 35616-A
connector test adapter kit. Using this kit prevents
damage to the harness/component terminals.
Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters in Wiring
Systems.
An accurate indication of fuel level is required for the
PCM to properly Pass or Fail this DTC. Always
diagnose fuel level sensor DTCs before performing
this DTC diagnostic table. Always inspect for fuel level
sensor DTCs stored as History.
Perform a physical inspection of the E:VAP system.
Inspect for the following conditions:
A loose, missing, defective, or incorrect fuel
tank cap
Incorrectly routed or defective EVAP system
vacuum and vapor lines
A malfunctioning or damaged vapor canister
A damaged fuel sender 0-ring
Inspect for charcoal release from the vapor canister.
Refer to the EVAP System Cleaning procedure.
The vacuum and pressure in the EV AP system is
measured in inches of H20 (water). Most gauges
measure vacuum in inches of Hg (mercury) and
pressure in psi (pounds per square inch). The following
table illustrates how the values compare:

Conditions for Running the Service Bay Test


The Service Bay Test may have to be performed
in cold ambient air temperatures when the
vehicle is running a winter grade fuel. The scan
tool displays a message when the service bay test
does not run.
- The battery voltage is between 10.5 and
17.5 volts.
- The fuel level is between 15 percent and
85 percent of the full capacity.
- The engine temperature is between 3.5C
(38F) and 35C (95F).
The scan tool displays Test Aborted if any o1 the
above conditions are not met.
Using Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data
may aid in locating an intermittent condition. If
you cannot duplicate the DTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data can aid in determining how many
miles since the DTC set. The Fail Counter
and Pass Counter can also aid determining how
many ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a
pass and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the
same freeze frame conditions (RPM, load,
vehicle speed, temperature etc.) that you
observed. This will isolate when the DTC failed.
For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
Diagnostic Table.

3. It may be necessary to partially lower the fuel tank


to inspect the upper portion of the tank and the
EVAP line connections.
4. An intermittent leak or restriction is indicated if the
vehicle passes the Service Bay Test A fuel tank
cap that is loose or off causes this DTC to set.
If the Service Bay Test can not be run, proceed to
step 5. If a fault is not currently present the
diagnostic table steps will return you to step 3.
12. This step tests for a leak at the top of the fuel
tank, at the fuel filler hose, and the tu.el cap. Plaqe
the ultrasonic leak detector in these areas.
Refer to the information supplied .with the EVAP
pressure/purge diagnostic cart on proper setup
and adjustment procedures.
13. With pressure applied it may be necessary to
disconnect the EVAP lines at the components
to verify that a line or component is not restricted.
A restriction would prevent a vacuum (or the
Step 10 test pressure) from forming in the
fuel tank.

Engine

Engine Controls - 5.7l

19. A Fuel Tank Pressure sensor that does not


correctly respond to pressure (or vacuum) causes
this DTC to set.
The Fuel Tank Pressure sensor range is from
7.5 in. H20 of pressure to -17.5 in. H20 of
pressure (vacuum).

6-1641

In order to test the Fuel Tank Pressure sensor for


vacuum response, command the EVAP Purge
Solenoid Valve ON with the engine running
and quickly SEAL the system. Leaving the EV AP
Purge Solenoid Valve ON for a longer period
of time allows a greater level of vacuum to
develop.

Circuit Description
A voltage is supplied directly to the EVAP Canister
Purge Valve. The PCM controls the solenoid by
grounding the control circuit via an internal switch
called a driver. The primary function of the driver is to
supply the ground for the controlled component.
Each driver has a fault line which the PCM monitors.
The voltage of the control circuit should be low
(near Ovolts) when the PCM commands a component
ON. The voltage potential of the circuit should be
high (near the battery voltage) when the PCM
commands the control circuit to a component OFF. If
the fault detection circuit senses a voltage other
than what the PCM is expects, the fault line status
changes causing the DTC to set. The EVAP
purge solenoid valve is pulse width modulated (PWM):
The PCM controls the EVAP purge solenoid valve
duty cycle by controlling the amount of solenoid purge
valve ON time. The scan tool displays the amount
of ON time in a percentage. This value is the amount
of available vacuum that will be applied to the
EVAP system.

Conditions for Running the .DTC


The engine speed is more than 400 RPM.
The ignition voltage is between 6.0 volts and
18.0 volts.

Conditions for Setting the OTC


The PCM detects that the commanded state of
the driver and the actual state of the control
circuit do not match.
Th.e conditions are presentfor a minimum of
5 seconds ...

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Engine Controls - .5.7L

6-1646

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A last test failed (current DTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A History DTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Diagnostic Aids

Engine
Using Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data may
aid in locating an intermittent condition. If you
cannot duplicate the DTC, the information included in
the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data can
aid in determining how many .miles since the DTC set.
The Fail Counter and Pass Counter can also aid
determining how many ignition cycles the diagnostic
reported a pass and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle
within the same freeze frame conditions (RPM, load,
vehicle speed, temperature etc.) that you observed.
This isolates when the DTC failed.
For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description

Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminate intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or a
component harness connector, use the J 35616-A
connector test adapter kit. Using this kit prevents
damage to the harness/component terminals.
Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters in Wiring
Systems.
Test the solenoid ignition feed circuit and control
circuit for excessive resistance if an audible click
cannot be heard when the solenoid is commanded ON
and OFF.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the


diagnostic table.
2. Listen for an audible click when the solenoid
operates. Be sure that both the ON and the OFF
states are commanded. Repeat the commands
as necessary. The Fuel Tank Pressure sensor
parameter on the scan tool can also be used to
determine if the EVAP purge solenoid is operating.
You should be able to see the pressure/vacuum
change when you command the solenoid on.
4. This step tests for voltage at the EV AP purge
solenoid. The ENG IGN fuse supplies power to the
coil side of the EVAP purge solenoid.
5. This step verifies that the PCM is providing
ground to the EVAP purge solenoid.
6. This step tests if a ground is constantly being
applied to the EVAP purge solenoid.

Engine
Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC
The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
" A last test failed (current OTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
. A History OTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUOTC.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when diagnosing/
replacing the PCM. Ensure that the gaskets are
installed correctly. The gaskets prevent
contaminate intrusion into the PCM.
.. For any test that requires probing the PCM or a
component harness connector, use the J 35616-A
connector test adapter kit. Using this kit prevents
damage to the harness/component terminals. Refer
to Using Connector Test Adapters in Wiring
Systems.
A fuel tank pressure sensor ground circuit that is open
will cause this OTC to set. The Fuel Tank Pressure
sensor and the Fuel Level sensor share the same
ground. IF OTC P0463 is also set, inspect the common
ground for an open.
An accurate indication of fuel level is required for the
PCM to properly Pass or Fail this OTC. Always
diagnose the fuel level sensor OTCs before performing
this OTC diagnostic table. Always inspect for fuel
level sensor OTCs stored as History.
Perform a physical inspection of the EV AP system.
Inspect for the following conditions:
A loose, missing, defective, or incorrect fuel
tank cap
Incorrectly routed or defective EV AP system
vacuum and vapor lines
A stuck closed EVAP Vent Valve
A restricted or blocked EV AP system hose
A restricted or stuck closed fuel tank rollover
valves
A malfunctioning or damaged vapor canister
Inspect for charcoal release from the vapor canister.
Refer to the EVAP System Cleaning procedure.
The vacuum and pressure in the EVAP system is
measured in inches of H20 (water). Most gauges

The Service Bay Test may have to be performed


in cold ambient air temperatures when the
vehicle is running a winter grade fuel. The scan
tool displays a message when the service bay test
does not run.

Conditions for Running the Service Bay Test


- The battery voltage is between 10.5 and
17.5 volts.
- The fuel level is between 15 percent and
85 percent of the full capacity.
- The engine temperature is between 3.5C
(38F) and 35C (95F).
The scan tool displays Test Aborted if any of the
above conditions are not met.
O

Using Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data


may aid in locating an intermittent condition. If
you cannot duplicate the OTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data can aid in determining how many
miles since the OTC set. The Fail Counter
and Pass Counter can also aid determining how
many ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a
pass and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the
same freeze frame conditions (RPM, load,
vehicle speed, temperature etc.) that you
observed. This isolates when the OTC failed.

For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
Diagnostic Table.
3. An intermittent leak or restriction is indicated if the
vehicle passes the Service Bay Test. A fuel tank
cap that is loose or off causes this OTC to set.
If the Service Bay Test can not be run, proceed to
step 5. If a fault is not currently present the
diagnostic table steps will return you to step 3.
5. Testing the vapor canister. and the EVAP Vent
Valve for restriction.
9. A Fuel Tank Pressure sensor that does not
correctly respond to pressure (or vacuum) causes
this OTC to set. An open Fuel Tank Pressure
sensor ground circuit will cause this OTC to set. If
the Fuel Tank Pressure sensor does not
respond to pressure (or vacuum) inspect the
ground circuit for an open.
The Fuel Tank Pressure sensor range is from
7.5 in. H20 of pressure to -17.5 iri. H20 of
pressure (vacuum).
In order to test the Fuel Tank Pressure sensor for
vacuum response, command the EV AP Purge
Solenoid Valve ON with the engine running
and quickly SEAL the system. Leaving th_e EV AP
Purge Solenoid Valve ON for a longer period
of time allows a greater level of vacuum to
develop.

Circuit Description
A voltage is supplied directly to the EV AP Canister
Vent valve. The PCM controls the solenoid by
grounding the control circuit via an internal switch
called a driver. The primary function of the driver is to
supply the ground for the controlled component.
Each driver has a fault line which the PCM monitors.
The voltage of the control circuit should be low
(near O volts) when the PCM commands a component
ON. The voltage potential of the circuit should be
high (near the battery voltage) when the PCM
commands the control circuit to a component OFF. If
the fault detection circuit senses a voltage other
than what the PCM is expects, the fault line status
changes causing the OTC to set.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The engine speed is more than 400 RPM.
The ignition voltage is between 6.0 volts and
18.0 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


" The PCM detects that the commanded state of
the driver and the actual state of the control
circuit do not match.
The conditions are present for a minimum of
5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic repotis a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.

.. A last test failed (current OTC) clears when the


diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A History OTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
O
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUOTC.

Engine
Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent water intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or a
component harness connector, use the J 35616-A
connector test adapter kit. Using this kit prevents
damage to the harness/component terminals.
Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters in Wiring
Systems.
Test the solenoid ignition feed circuit and control
circuit for excessive resistance if an audible click
cannot be heard when the solenoid is commanded ON
and OFF.
Using Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data may
aid in locating an intermittent condition. If you
cannot duplicate the OTC, the information included in
the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data can
aid in determining how many miles since the OTC set.

6-1653

The Fail Counter and Pass Counter can also aid


determining how many ignition cycles the diagnostic
reported a pass and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle

Circuit Description
The Fuel Tank Pressure sensor changes resistance
values based on the fuel tank pressure (or vacuum). A
vacuum is considered negative pressure.
The PCM provides a 5.0 volt reference and a ground.
The Fuel Tank Pressure sensor signal varies
between ground and 5.0 volts as fuel tank pressure
varies. The Fuel Tank Pressure sensor voltage
increases as the fuel tank pressure decreases
(negative pressure, or vacuum). The Fuel Tank
Pressure sensor voltage decreases (positive pressure,
low voltage) as the fuel tank pressure increases.
The PCM uses the Fuel Tank Pressure sensor voltage
for EVAP system leak detection. This OTC sets
when the Fuel Tank Pressure sensor signal goes
below a predetermined value.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The ignition switch is in the RUN position.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The Fuel Tank Pressure sensor voltage is less
0.1 volts.
All conditions present for more than 5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
" The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


" The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
.. A last test failed (current OTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A History OTC clears after 40 consecutive

Test Description

Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent water intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or a
component harness connector, use the J 35616-A
connector test adapter kit. Using this kit prevents
damage to the harness/component terminals.
Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters in Wiring
Systems.
The Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor range is from 7.5 in.
H20 of pressure to -17.5 in. H20 of pressure
(vacuum).
Using Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data may
aid in locating an intermittent condition. If you
cannot duplicate the OTC, the information included in
the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data can
aid in determining how many miles since the OTC set.
The Fail Counter and Pass Counter can also aid
determining how many ignition cycles the diagnostic
reported a pass and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle
within the same freeze frame conditions (RPM, load,
vehicle speed, temperature etc.) that you observed.
This will isolate when the OTC failed.
For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.
The vacuum and pressure in the EVAP system is
measured in inches of water (H20). Most gauges
measure vacuum in inches of mercury (Hg) and
pressure in pounds per square inch (psi). Thefollowing
shows how the values compare:

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the


diagnostic table.
2. If OTC P1639 sets at the same time, this indicates
that the 5.0 volt reference circuit is either shorted
to ground or shorted to a voltage. The 5.0 volt
reference circuit is internally connected within the
PCM. The A/C Refrigerant Pressure sensor
may be causing this OTC to set.

Circuit Description
The Fuel Tank Pressure sensor changes resistance
values based on the fuel tank pressure (or vacuum). A
vacuum is considered negative pressure.
The PCM provides a 5.0 volt reference and a ground.
The Fuel Tank Pressure sensor signal varies
between ground and 5.0 volts as fuel tank pressure
varies. The Fuel Tank Pressure sensor voltage
increases as the fuel tank pressure decreases
(negative pressure, or vacuum). The Fuel Tank
Pressure sensor voltage decreases (positive pressure,
low voltage) as the fuel tank pressure increases.
The PCM uses the Fuel Tank Pressure sensor voltage
for EVAP system leak detection. This DTC sets
when the Fuel Tank Pressure sensor signal goes
above a predetermined value.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The ignition switch is in the RUN position.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


" The Fuel Tank Pressure sensor voltage is more
than 4.90 volts.
O All conditions present for more than 5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A last test failed (current DTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A History DTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Circuit Description
The Fuel Level Sensor changes resistance based on
fuel level. The Fuel Level Sensor has a signal
circuit and a ground circuit. The PCM applies a voltage
(about 5.0 volts) on the signal circuit to the sensor.
ThePCM monitors the changes in this voltage caused
by changes in the resistance of the sensor in order
to determine fuel level.
When the fuel tank is full, the sensor resistance is
high, therefore, the PCM senses a high signal voltage
(fuel tank full). When the fuel tank is empty, the
sensor resistance is low, and the PCM senses a low
signal voltage (fuel tank empty).
The PCM uses inputs from the Fuel Level Sensor in
order to calculate the total fuel remaining in the
fuel tank. This information is then sent to the fuel
gauge. The Fuel Level information is also used
for misfire and EV AP diagnostics.
This diagnostic tests for a stuck fuel level sensor
signal. The PCM sets this OTC if the fuel level signal
appears to be stuck based on a lack of signal
variation expected during normal operation.

Conditions. for Running the DTC


The ignition switch is in the RUN position.
More than 150 miles have been accumulated.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The fuel level in the fuel tank does not decrease by at
least 3.0 liters (3/4 gallon).

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM stores the OTC information into memory
when the diagnostic runs and fails.
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not
illuminate.
" The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores this
information in the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


A History OTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this
or any other non-emission related diagnostic.
A last test failed (Current OTC) will clear when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
O Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUOTC.

Circuit Description
The Fuel Level Sensor changes resistance based on
fuel level. The Fuel Level Sensor has a signal
circuit and a ground circuit. The PCM applies a voltage
(about 5.0 volts) on the signal circuit to the sensor.
The PCM monitors changes in this voltage caused by
changes in the resistance of the sensor to determine
fuel level.
When the fuel tank is full, the sensor resistance is
high, therefore, the PCM will sense a high signal
voltage (fuel tank full). When the fuel tank is empty,
the sensor resistance is low, and the PCM senses
a low signal voltage (fuel tank empty).
The PCM uses inputs from the Fuel Level Sensor to
calculate the total fuel remaining in the fuel tank.
This information is then sent to the fuel gauge via the
class 2 circuit. The Fuel Level information is also
used for misfire and EV AP diagnostics.
This OTC sets when the PCM senses a signal voltage
lower than the normal operating range of the sensor.

DTC P0480 Cooling Fan Relay 1 Control Circuit


Refer to Engine Controls Schematics, Cooling Fans
for complete circuit details.

Circuit Description
The cooling fan system in this vehicle provides for
two separate modes of operation. These are the low
speed fan and the high speed fan operating modes.
The low speed mode operates both fans at half speed
by using a series circuit configuration. The high
speed mode operates both fans at full speed by using
a parallel circuit configuration. These two operating
modes are accomplished using 3 fan control relays.
This system which uses three relays to control two fan
motors appears complicated. To aid in better
understanding this system it is suggested to follow the
circuits in the schematic as you read the description.
Th.is will aid in understanding the two distinct modes of
operating the relays and coolant fans.
Low speed fan operation is established when the
PCM commands Fan Relay #1 ON by grounding
circuit 335 with an internal driver (relays #2 and #3
are left OFF). This closes the relay switch and allows
current to flow from the battery, through the switch
contacts on circuit 409 to the Left Hand cooling
fan. Current flow continues out of the fan motor on
circuit 532 to relay #3. The unenergized relay #3
switch contacts allow current to flow to circuit 504. This
provides power to the Right Hand cooling fan motor.
The low side of the RH cooling fan completes the
circuit to ground on circuit 150. This circuit is a series
circuit which allows half speed operation for each
fan since each fan motor will use half of the supplied
battery power.
High speed operation is established when all
three relays are energized. Relays #2 and #3 share
the same control circuit to the PCM. This is circuit 473.
As in the low speed mode, Relay #1 supplies current
flow .to the LH cooling fan on circuit 409. Current
flow continues through the motor on circuit 532 to
relay #3 which is now energized. The switch has now
provided a path for current to flow through circuit
150 directly to ground. This circuit now only has the
LH fan motor to power and allows it to run at full
speed. Relay #2 is also energized and provides current
flow on circuit 504 to the RH cooling fan. This fan
now has its own dedicated circuit and will operate at
full speed. This mode is operating as a parallel circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC


e

The engine speed is more than 400 RPM.

The ignition voltage is between 6.0 volts and


18.0 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


\

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating cond.itions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A last test failed (current DTC) .clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
.. A History DTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any at.her emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.

Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Diagnostic Aids .
Important:

Remove any debris from the PCM connector


surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when .
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent water intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or a
component harness connector, use the J 35616-A
connector test adapter kit. Using this kit prevents
damage to the harness/component terminals.
Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters in Wiring
Systems.
For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. Listen for an audible click when the relay operates.
Command both the ON and the OFF states.
Repeat the commands as necessary.
4. This step tests for voltage at the coil side of the
cooling fan relay 1. The cooling fan mini fuse
supplies power to the coil side of the cooling fan
relay 1.

The PCM detects that the commanded state of


the driver and the actual state of the control
circuit do not match.

5. This step verifies that the PCM is providing


ground to the cooling fan relay 1.

The conditions must be present for a minimum of


5 seconds.

6. This step tests if ground is constantly being


applied to the cooling fan relay.

DTC P0481 Cooling Fan Relay 2 and 3 Control Circuit


Refer to Engine Controls Schematics, Cooling Fans
for complete circuit details.

Circuit Description
The cooling fan system in this vehicle provides for
two separate modes of operation. These are the low
speed fan and the high speed fan operating modes.
The low speed mode operates both fans at half speed
by using a series circuit configuration. The high
speed mode operates both fans at full speed by using
a parallel circuit configuration. These two operating
modes are accomplished using 3 fan control relays.
This system which uses three relays to control two fan
motors appears complicated. To aid in better
understanding this system it is suggested to follow the
circuits in the schematic as you read the description.
This will aid in understanding the two distinct modes of
operating the relays and coolant fans.
Low speed fan operation is established when the
PCM commands Fan Relay #1 ON by grounding
circuit 335 with an internal driver (relays #2 and #3
are left OFF). This closes the relay switch and allows
current to flow from the battery, through the switch
contacts on circuit 409 to the Left Hand cooling
fan. Current flow continues out of the fan motor on
circuit 532 to relay #3. The unenergized relay #3
switch contacts allow current to flow to circuit 504. This
provides power to the Right Hand cooling fan motor.
The low side of the RH cooling fan completes the
circuit to ground on circuit 150. This circuit is a series
circuit which allows half speed operation for each
fan since each fan motor will drop half of the supplied
battery power.
High speed operation is established when all
three relays are energized. Relays #2 and #3 share
the same control circuit to the PCM. This is circuit 473.
As in the low speed mode, Relay #1 supplies current
flow to the LH cooling fan on circuit 409. Current
flow continues through the motor on circuit 532 to
relay #3 which is now energized. The switch has now
provided a path for current to flow through circuit
150 directly to ground. This circuit now only has the
LH fan motor to power and allows it to run at full
speed. Relay #2 is also energized and provides current
flow on circuit 504 to the RH cooling fan. This fan
now has its own dedicated circuit and will operate at
full speed. This mode is operating as a parallel circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The engine speed is more than 400 RPM.
The ignition voltage is between 6.0 volts and
18.0 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


" The PCM detects that the commanded state of
the driver and the actual state of the control
circuit do not match.
" Condition must exist for a minimum of 5 seconds.

Action Taken When the OTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.

The PCM records the operating conditions at the


time the diagnostic fails ..The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A last test failed (current OTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A History OTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUOTC.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:

Remove any debris from the PCM connector


surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent water intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or a
component harness connector, use the J 35616-A
connector test adapter kit. Using this kit prevents
damage to the harness/component terminals.
Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters in Wiring
Systems.
For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
4. This step tests for a control circuit that may be
shorted to ground.
5. This step tests for an open control circuit.
11. The repair is not complete if the scan tool
indicates that the diagnostic ran and failed.

Circuit Description
The Idle Air Control valve is a PCM controlled stepper
motor located on the throttle body. The stepper
motor drives a valve pintle which protrudes into a
passage that bypasses the throttle plates. The PCM
commands the IAC valve pintle to extend to decrease
the idle speed. The bypass air flow is reduced and
the idle speed decreases as the pintle approaches its
seat. The PCM retracts the IAC valve pintle away
from its seat to increase the idle speed. The retracting
of the IAC valve pintle allows more air to bypass
the throttle plates. The PCM uses the IAC system to
maintain a desired idle speed. This OTC sets when the
PCM detects an engine speed outside of the IAC's
range of control.

DTC P0530 Air Conditioning (A/C) Refrigerant Pressure Sensor Circuit


Refer to Engine Controls Schematics, A/C Compressor
Control for complete circuit details.

Circuit Description
The A/C system uses an A/C refrigerant pressure
sensor mounted in the high side of the A/C system to
monitor A/C refrigerant pressure. The PCM utilizes
this information in order to turn ON the engine coolant
fans when the A/C refrigerant pressure is high.
The PCM supplies a 5.0 volt reference and ground to
the sensor. As the A/C pressure increases or
decreases, the resistance of the sensor changes and
varies the amount of signal returning to the PCM.
The PCM monitors the A/C refrigerant pressure sensor
signal circuit and can determine when the A/C
pressure is too high or too low. The PCM disables the
A/C compressor clutch and sets a OTC P0530
when the pressures are out of range (high or low) for
a predetermined time. The PCM disables the A/C
compressor in order to prevent A/C compressor
damage.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The PCM detects .an A/C request.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


A/C refrigerant pressure sensor indicates A/C
refrigerant pressure is below 3.0 psi for 5 seconds.
OR
A/C refrigerant pressure sensor indicates A/C
refrigerant pressure is above 445 psi for 5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM stores the OTC information into memory
when the diagnostic runs and fails.
O The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not
illuminate.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores this
information in the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


A History OTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this
or any other non-emission related diagnostic.
A last test failed (Current OTC) will clear when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUOTC.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent water intrusion into the PCM.
.. For any test that requires probing the PCM or a
component harness connector, use the J 35616-A
connector test adapter kit. Using this kit prevents
damage to the harness/component terminals.
Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters in Wiring
Systems.
If the test did not fail this ignition cycle, move the
related electrical harnesses and the connectors while
monitoring a scan tool.
For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
3. The normal A/C voltage is between 1.0 and
1.8 volts. If the A/C voltage is within the range,
review the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data in
order to determine when the OTC P0530 set.
5. If the A/C pressure/voltage stays high after
disconnecting the A/C refrigerant pressure sensor
electrical connector, this indicates the signal
circuit is shorted to a voltage.
7. This step tests for a good ground circuit.
8. This step tests the integrity of the A/C refrigerant
pressure sensor signal circuit.
11. If you have thoroughly tested the 5 volt reference
circuit (for opens, shorts to ground, PCM
connections etc.) and tests OK, then replace
the PCM.
12. If you have thoroughly tested the ground circuit for
opens and the PCM connections are OK, then
replace the PCM.

Circuit Description
Various components apply a voltage to the Vehicle
Speed Output circuit. The PCM creates the Vehicle
Speed Output signal by rapidly grounding this
circuit via an internal switch called a driver. The driver
opera1es at the same rate as the VSS signal input.
The various components recognize the voltage being
pulled to ground as an indication of vehicle speed.
The driver supplies the ground for the component
being controlled. Each driver has a fault line which the
PCM monitors. When the PCM commands a
component ON, the voltage of the control circuit
should be low (near O volts). When the PCM
commands the control circuit to a component OFF, the
voltage potential of the circuit should be high (near
battery voltage). If the fault detection circuit senses a
voltage other than what is expected, the fault line
status changes causing the DTC to set.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The engine speed is more than 400 RPM.
.. The ignition voltage is between 6.0 volts and
18.0 volts.
O

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The PCM detects that the commanded state of
the driver and the actual state of the control
circuit do not match.
The condition must be present for a minimum of
5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


" The PCM stores the DTC information into memory
when the diagnostic runs and fails.
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not
illuminate.
O The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores this
information in the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


" A History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this
or any other non-emission related diagnostic.
A last test failed (Current DTC) will clear when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
" Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC ..

DTC P0645 Air Conditioning (A/C) Clutch Relay Control Circuit


Refer to Engine Controls Schematics, A/C Compressor
Control for complete circuit details.

Circuit. Description
A voltage is.supplied directly to the A/C compressor
clutch relay coil. The PCM controls the relay by
grounding the control circuit via an internal switch
called a driver. The primary function of the driver is to
supply the ground for the controlled component.
Each driver has a fault line which the PCM monitors.
When the PCM commands a component ON, the
voltage of the control circuit should be low (near
O volts). When the PCM is commanding the control
circuit to a component OFF, the voltage potential of the
circuit should be high (near battery voltage). If the
fault detection circuit senses a voltage other than what
the circuit expects, the fault line status changes
causing the OTC to set.
The relay controls the high current flow to the A/C
compressor clutch. This allows the PCM driver to only
have to handle the relatively low current used by
the relay.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The engine speed is greater than 400 RPM.
The ignition voltage is between 6.0 volts and
18.0 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The PCM detects that the commanded state of
the driver and the actual state of the control
circuit do not match.
Condition must exist for a minimum of 5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM stores the OTC information into memory
when the diagnostic runs .and fails.
" The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not
illuminate.
" The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores this
information in the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


" A last test failed (current OTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A History OTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector. gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing .the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminate intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or a
component harness connector, use the Connector
Test Adapter Kit J 35616-A. Using this kit
prevents damage to the harness/component
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description

Circuit Description
A voltage is supplied directly to the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL}. The powertrain control
module (PCM) controls the lamp by grounding the
control circuit via an internal switch called a driver. The
primary function of the driver is to supply the ground
for the component being controlled. Each driver
has a fault line which is monitored by the PCM. When
the PCM is commanding a component ON, the
voltage of the control circuit should be near O volts.
When the PCM is commanding the control circuit to a
component OFF, the voltage potential of the circuit
should be near battery voltage. If the fault detection
circuit senses a voltage other than what is expected,
the fault line status will change causing the DTC
to set.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL} will not
illuminate.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition

cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions


at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC


A History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this
or any other non-emission related diagnostic.
" A last test failed (Current OTC) will clear when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminate intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or a
component harness connector, use the J 35616-A
connector test adapter kit. Using this kit prevents
damage to the harness/component terminals.
Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters in Wiring
Systems.

Circuit Description
1he Clutch Pedal Position Switch is a normally closed
switch. The PCM applies a voltage (B+) to the
Clutch Pedal Position Switch circuit. When the Clutch
Pedal Position Switch is depressed (clutch pedal
released) the circuit is open and the PCM senses a
high voltage. When the Clutch Pedal Position Switch is
released (clutch pedal depressed) the Clutch Pedal
Position Switch contacts close, causing the applied
voltage to go low.
The PCM determines if the Clutch Pedal Position
Switch has failed by not sensing a clutch switch
transition. The PCM monitors vehicle speed from Oto
a predetermined speed.

Circuit Description
A voltage is supplied directly to the Reverse Inhibit
solenoid. The PCM controls the solenoid by grounding
the control circuit via an internal switch called a
driver. The driver supplies the ground for the
component being controlled. Each driver has a fault
line which the PCM monitors. When the PCM
commands a component ON, the voltage of the control
circuit should be low (near O volts). When the PCM
commands the control Circuit to a component OFF, the
voltage potential of the circuit should be high (near
battery voltage). If the fault detection circuit senses a
voltage other than what is expected, the fault line
status changes causing the DTC to set.
When the Reverse Inhibit solenoid energizes, the
operator can shift the transmission into reverse. The
PCM enables the Reverse Inhibit solenoid whenever
vehicle speed is below 5 mph. When the vehicle speed
is above 5 mph, the PCM de-energizes the solenoid,
which prevents the operator from shifting the
transmission into reverse.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The engine speed is more than.400 RPM.
The ignition voltage is between 6.0 volts and
18.0 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The PCM detects that the commanded state of
the driver and the actual state of the control
circuit do not match.
Condition must exist for a minimum of 5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM stores the DTC information into. memory
when the diagnostic runs and fails.
" The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not
illuminate.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores this
information in the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


.. A History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this
or any other non-emission related diagnostic.
O A last test failed (Current DTC) will clear when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Circuit Description
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor contains a
semiconductor device which changes resistance based
on temperature (a thermistor). The IAT sensor
mounts in the air intake passage of the engine air
induction system. The IAT sensor has a signal circuit
and a ground circuit. The PCM applies a voltage
(about 5.0 volts) on the signal circuit to the sensor.
The PCM monitors changes in this voltage caused by
changes in the resistance of the sensor in order to
determine the intake air temperature.
When the intake air is cold, the sensor (thermistor)
resistance is high, and the PCMs signal voltage is only
pulled down a small amount through the sensor to
ground. The PCM senses a high signal voltage
(low temperature). When the intake air is warm, The
sensor resistance is low, and the signal voltage is
pulled down a greater amount. This causes the PCM
to sense a low signal voltage (high temperature).
This OTC sets when the PCM senses a signal voltage
higher than the normal operating range of the
sensor.

Conditions for Running the DTC


OTCs P0102, P0103, P0117, P0118, P0500,
P0502, P0503 are not set.
.. The engine run time is more than 100 seconds.
" The engine coolant temperature is more
than 0C (32F).
" The vehicle speed is less than 11 km/h (7 mph).
.. The mass air flow is less than 15 g/s.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The intake air temperature is less
than -35C (-31 F).
.. The intermittent condition exists for a total of
1 second during a 20 second time period.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM stores the OTC information into memory
when the diagnostic runs and fails.
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not
illuminate.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores this
information in the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MILIDTC


A History OTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this
or any other non-emission related diagnostic.
A last test failed (Current OTC) will clear when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUOTC.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminate intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or a
component harness connector, use the J 35616-A
connector test adapter kit. Using this kit prevents
damage to the harness/component terminals.
Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters in Wiring
Systems .
If the engine has sat overnight, the engine coolant
temperature and intake air temperature values should
display within a few degrees of each other. If the
temperatures are not within 3C (5F), refer to
Temperature vs Resistance .

For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.

4. When moving the related wiring harnesses,


visually/physically inspect the wiring for the
following:

2. If OTC PO'l '13 also failed this indicates a hard


failure is present. When a hard failure is present,
both the hard and intermittent DTCs set.

.. Wire insulation that is rubbed through, causing


an intermittent short.

3. When moving related connectors,


visually/physically inspect connectors for the
following:
Poor mating of the connector halves or a
terminal not fully seated in the connector body
(backed out).
Improperly formed or damaged terminals.
Carefully reform or replace all connector
terminals in the related circuits in order to
insure proper terminal contact tension.
Poor terminal to wire connection. Inspect for
poor crimps, crimping over wire insulation
rather than the wire.
Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Inspect for
missing connector seals and for damage to
the connector seals.

5. Using the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records


data may aid in locating an intermittent condition.
If you cannot duplicate the OTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data can help determine how many miles
since the OTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass
Counter can also help determine how many
ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass
and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the same
freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle
speed, temperature etc.) that you observed. This
will isolate when the DTC failed.

Circuit Description
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor contains a
semiconductor device which changes resistance based
on temperature (a thermistor). The IAT sensor
mounts in the air intake passage of the engine air
induction system. The IAT sensor has a signal circuit
and a ground circuit. The PCM applies a voltage
(about 5.0 volts) on the signal circuit to the sensor.
The PCM monitors changes in this voltage caused by
changes in the resistance of the sensor in order to
determine the intake air temperature.
When the intake air is cold, the sensor (thermistor)
resistance is high, and the PCMs signal voltage is only
pulled down a small amount through the sensor to
ground. The PCM senses a high signal voltage
(low temperature). When the intake air is warm, the
sensor resistance is low, and the signal voltage
is pulled down a greater amount. This causes the PCM
to sense a low signal voltage (high temperature).
When the PCM senses a signal voltage lower than the
normal operating range of the sensor, this DTC sets.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM stores the DTC information into memory
when the diagnostic runs and fails.
.. The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not
illuminate.
" The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores this
information in the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


" A History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this
or any other non-emission related diagnostic.
" A last test failed (Current DTC) will clear when the

Circuit Description

Conditions for Running the OTC

The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor


contains a semiconductor device which changes
resistance based on temperature (a thermistor). The
ECT sensor mounts in the left bank cylinder head near
the front of the engine. The ECT sensor has a
signal circuit and a ground circuit. The PCM applies a
voltage (about 5.0 volts) on the signal circuit to the
sensor. The PCM monitors changes in this voltage
caused by changes in the resistance of the sensor in
order to determine the engine coolant temperature.
When the engine coolant is cold, the sensor
(thermistor) resistance is high, and the PCMs signal
voltage is only pulled down a small amount through the
sensor to ground. The PCM senses a high signal
voltage (low temperature). When the engine coolant is
warm, the sensor resistance is low, and the signal
voltage is pulled down a greater amount. This causes
the PCM to sense a low sJgnal voltage (high
temperature).
The engine coolant temperature information is sent to
the instrument panel cluster via the class 2 circuit.
This OTC sets when the PCM senses a signal voltage
lower than the normal operating range of the sensor.

The engine run time is more than 10 seconds.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The Engine Coolant Temperature is more than
139C (282F) for less than a second.
The intermittent condition exists for a total of
1 second during a 20 second time period.

Acti.on Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM stores the OTC information into memory
when the diagnostic runs and fails.
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not
illuminate.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores this
information in the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the .Mll/DTC


A History OTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this
or any other non-emission related diagnostic.
A last test failed (Current OTC) will clear when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUOTC.

Engine
Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminate intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or a
component harness connector, use the J 35616-A
connector test adapter kit. Using this kit prevents
damage to the harness/component terminals.
Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters in Wiring
Systems.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can cause an
intermittent DTC. Inspect the related circuits for being
too close to secondary ignition wires and the
generator.
If the engine has sat overnight, the engine coolant
temperature and intake air temperature values should
display within a few degrees of each other. If the
temperatures are not within 3C (5F), refer to
Temperature vs Resistance.
For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.

3. When moving related connectors,


visually/physically inspect connectors for the
following:
Poor mating of the connector halves or a
terminal not fully seated in the connector body
(backed out).
" Improperly formed or damaged terminals.
Carefully reform or replace all connector
terminals in the related circuits in order to
insure proper terminal contact tension.
Poor terminal to wire connection. Inspect for
poor crimps, crimping over wire insulation
rather than the wire.
Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Inspect for
missing connector seals and for damage to
the connector seals.
4. When moving the related wiring harnesses,
visually/physically inspect the wiring for the
following:
Wire insulation that is rubbed through, causing
an intermittent short.
'" Wiring broken inside the insulation.
5. Using the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records
data may aid in locating an intermittent condition.

Circuit Description
The Throttle Position (TP} sensor is a potentiometer.
The TP sensor is mounted to the left side of the throttle
body. The TP sensor provides a voltage signal that
changes relative to throttle blade angle. This
signal voltage is one of the most important inputs used
by the PCM. The TP sensor has a 5.0 volt reference,
a ground and a signal circuit.
TP sensor Signal voltage should be about 0.6 volt at
idle. The TP sensor voltage should increase to
above 4.0 volts at wide open throttle (WOT}.
When the PCM senses a signal voltage higher than
the normal operating range of the sensor, this
DTC sets.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The ignition switch is in the Run position.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


.. The TP sensor voltage is more than 4.8 volts.
0
The intermittent condition exists for a total
of 1 second during a 20 second time period.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


" The PCM stores the DTC information into memory
when the diagnostic runs and fails.
" The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL} will not
illuminate.
., The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores this
information in the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC


" A History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this
or any other non-emission related diagnostic.
O A last test failed (Current DTC) will clear when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
" Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
~ Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminate intrusion .into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or a
component harness connector, use the J 35616-A
connector test adapter kit. Using this kit prevents
damage to the harness/component terminals.
Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters in Wiring
Systems.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can cause an


intermittent DTC. Inspect the related circuits for being
too close to secondary ignition wires and the

generator.
If the engine has sat overnight, the engine coolant
temperature and intake air temperature values should

4. When moving related wiring harnesses,


visually/physically inspect wiring for the following:
Wire insulation that is rubbed through,
causing an intermittent short.
.. Wiring broken inside the insulation.
5. Using Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data
may aid in locating an intermittent condition. If
the DTC cannot be duplicated, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data can be useful in determining how
many miles since the DTC set. The Fail Counter
and Pass Counter can also be used to determine
how many ignition cycles the diagnostic
reported a pass and/or a fail. Operate vehicle
within the same freeze frame conditions (RPM,
load, vehicle speed, temperature etc.) that
were noted. This will isolate when the DTC failed.
If this DTC runs and passes the diagnostic, the
scan tool will not indicate any information

Circuit Description
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer.
The TP sensor is mounted to the left side of the throttle
body. The TP sensor provides a voltage signal that
changes relative to throttle blade angle. This
signal voltage is one of the most important inputs used
by the PCM. The TP sensor has a 5.0 volt reference,
a ground and a signal circuit.
TP sensor Signal voltage should be about 0.6 volt at
idle. The TP sensor voltage should increase to
above 4.0 volts at wide open throttle (WOT).
When the PCM senses a signal voltage lower than the
normal operating range of the sensor, this OTC sets.

Conditions for Running the DTC


tP sensor voltage is less than 0.2 volts for 0.3 second.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


.. TP sensor voltage is less than 0.2 volts.
~ The intermittent condition exists for a total of
1 second during a 20 second time period.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM stores the OTC information into memory
when the diagnostic runs and fails.
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not
illuminate.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores this
inrormation in the Failure Records.
O

Con.ditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


.. A History OTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this
or any other non-emission related diagnostic.
A last test failed (Current OTC) will clear when the
diagnostic runs arid does not fail.
" Use a scan tool in order to clear .the MIUOTC.

Diagnostic Aids.
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent.contaminate intrusion into the PCM.
" For any test that requires probing the PCM or a
component harness connector, use the J 35616-A
connector test.adapter kit. Using this kit prevents
damage to the harness/component terminals.
Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters in Wiring
Systems.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can cause an
intermittent OTC, Inspect the related circuits for being
too close to secondary ignition wires and the
generator.
If the engine has sat overnight, the engine coolant
temperature and intake air temperature values should
display within a few degrees of each other. If the
temperatures are not within 3C (5F), refer to
Temperature vs Resistance.
For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
Number(s) below refer to step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. If DTC P0122 also failed this indicates a hard
failure is present. When a hard failure is present,
both the hard and intermittent DTCs will set.
The engine must be operating longer than
30 seconds before inspecting if the DTC set.
3. When moving related connectors,
visually/physically inspect connectors for the
following:
Poor mating of the connector halves or a
terminal not fully seated in the connector body
(backed out).
" Improperly formed or damaged terminals. All
connector terminals in the related circuits
should be carefully reformed or replaced to
insure proper contact tension.
Poor terminal to wire connection. Inspect for
poor crimps, crimping over wire insulation
rather than the wire .
.. Dirt or corrosion on terminals. Inspect for
missing connector seals and for damage to the
connector seals.

4. When moving related wiring harnesses,


visually/physically inspect wiring for the following:
Wire insulation that is rubbed through,
causing an intermittent short.

Wiring broken inside the insulation.


5. Using Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data
may aid in locating an intermittent condition. If
the DTC cannot be duplicated, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data can be useful in determining how
many miles since the DTC set. The Fail Counter
and Pass Counter can also be used to determine
how many ignition cycles the diagnostic
reported a pass and/or a fail. Operate vehide
within the same freeze frame conditions (RPM,
load, vehicle speed, temperature etc.) that
were noted. This will isolate when the DTC failed.

Circuit Description

Conditions for Setting the DTC

'The PCM monitors the Heated Oxygen Sensor


(H02S} activity for 100 seconds. During this monitor
period the PCM counts the number of times that
the H02S switches form rich to lean and lean to rich.
A OTC P1133 sets when the PCM determines that
the H02S did not switch enough times.
A lean to rich switch is determined when the H02S
voltage changes from less than 300 mV to more than
600 mV. A rich to lean switch is determined when
the H02S voltage changes from more than 600 mV to
less than 300 mV.

Circuit Description

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The PCM monitors the Heated Oxygen


Sensor (H02S) activity. During the monitor period the
PCM counts the number of times that the H02S
responds from rich to lean and from lean to rich and
adds the amount of time it took to complete all
transitions. With this information, an average time for
all transitions can be determined. The PCM then
divides the rich to lean average by the lean to rich
average to obtain a ratio. A DTC P1134 sets if
the HD2S ratio is not within range.

The PCM determines that the H02S transition time


ratio is not at the expected value.

Circuit Description

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The PCM monitors the Heated Oxygen Sensor


(H02S) activity for 100 seconds. During this monitor
period the PCM counts the number of times that
the H02S switches form rich to lean and lean to rich.
A OTC P1153 sets when the PCM determines that
the H02S did not switch enough times.
A lean to rich switch is determined when the H02S
voltage changes from less than 300 mV to greater than
600 mV. A rich to lean switch is determined when
the H02S voltage changes from more than 600 mV to
less than 300 mV.

The PCM determines that within 100 seconds the


H02S lean to rich switches are less than 10 and rich
to lean switches are less then 10.

The fuel system is operating in Closed Loop.
The engine run time is more than 2 minutes.
The engine speed is more than 1,000 RPM but
less than 2,300 RPM.
The ignition voltage is more than 9.0 volts.
The engine coolant temperature is more than
50C (122F).
The MAF is between 20 g/s and 50 g/s.
The EVAP purge duty cycle is more than
O percent.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this informa1ion in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
atthe time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A last test failed (current DTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A History OTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Test Description

Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when diagnosing/
replacing the PCM. Ensure that the gaskets are
installed correctly. The gaskets prevent
contaminate intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or a
component harness connector, use the J 35616-A
connector test adapter kit. Using this kit prevents
damage to the harness/component terminals.
Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters in Wiring
Systems.
Inspect the H02S signal circuit for being shorted to a
PCM ground. The H02S signal circuit shorted to a
PCM ground will not cause a H02S low OTC to set,
but will set a switching OTC.
A malfunction in the H02S heater circuits will cause a
OTC P1153 to set. Inspect the H02S heater circuits
for intermittent opens/connections. Refer to Testing for
Intermittent and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.
An oxvgen supply inside the H02S is necessary
for proper operation. This supply of oxygen is provided
through the H02S wires. All H02S wires and
connections should be inspected for breaks or
contamination. Refer to Heated Oxygen
Sensor (H02S) Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the


diagnostic table.
2. This step determines if the fault is present. This
test may take 5 minutes for the diagnostic
to run.
3. When OTCs P1133 and P1153 are set at the
same time, it is a good indication that a fuel
contamination condition is present.
4. An exhaust leak 6-12 inches away from the
H02S can cause a OTC to set.
5. This step tests whether a good ground circuit is
available.
6. This step tests the integrity of the signal circuit to
the PCM.
7. This step tests the integrity of the signal circuit to
the PCM.
8. Certain RTV silicone gasket materials give off
vapors that can contaminate the H02S. There
is also a possibility of silicone contamination
caused by silicone in the fuel. If the sensors.
appear to be contaminated by silicone and all the
silicone sealant is a non silicone base, advise
the customer to try a different fuel company.
A missing fuel filler restrictor indicates the
customer may have used leaded fuel.

Conditions for Setting the OTC

The PCM continuously monitors the Heated Oxygen


Sensor (H02S) activity for 100 seconds. During
the monitor period the PCM counts the number of
times that the H02S responds from rich to lean and
from lean to rich and adds the amount of time it took to
complete all transitions. With this information, an
average time for all transitions can be determined. The
PCM then divides the rich to lean average by the
lean to rich average to obtain a ratio. A DTC P1154
sets if the H02S ratio is not within range.

The PCM determines that the H02S transition time


ratio is not at the expected value.

Circuit Description
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor sends pulses to
the PCM as the reluctor wheel teeth rotate past the
CKP sensor. The PCM uses the CKP pulses to
synchronize the ignition and fuel injector operation,
and to time the interval between each CKP pulse. The
PCM determines when an excessive change in
crankshaft speed occurs by comparing each new time
interval with the previous interval. A misfire causes
an unexpected change in the crankshaft speed.
A certain amount of acceleration/deceleration is
expected between each firing stroke, but if the
crankshaft speed changes more than an expected
amount, the PCM interprets this as a misfire.
The interval between CKP sensor pulses is extremely
small. At high engine speeds, slight variations in
the following components make misfire detection
difficult:

Important: A PCM power disconnect with the ignition


ON may erase the stored pulse value and set the
DTC P1336.
Disconnecting the PCM will not erase the learned
Crankshaft Position System Variation as long as the
ignition switch is in the OFF position.
Important: Reprogramming the PCM does not require
running the Crankshaft Position System Variation
Learn Procedure unless the PCM is new or from
another vehicle.
A OTC P1336 sets if the Crankshaft Position System
Variation is not within an acceptable range, or can
not be learned.

Conditions for Running the DTC


There are no crankshaft position (CKP) or camshaft

Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminate intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or a
component harness connector, use the J 35616-A
connector test adapter kit. Using this kit prevents
damage to the harness/component terminals.
Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters in Wiring
Systems.
If the PCM receives an incorrect crankshaft to
camshaft ratio the PCM will not allow the scan tool
to enable the learn procedure.
If the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn
Procedure cannot be learned, inspect for the following
conditions:
A chipped or damaged reluctor wheel
Incorrect alignment of the CKP sensor to the
reluctor wheel
.. Excessive crankshaft run-out
Interference in the signal circuit to the CKP sensor
Incorrect ratio of crankshaft to camshaft pulses
Engine diagnostic misfire is not operable when
the engine is above 1000 RPM and DTC P1336 is set.

When the learn procedure is in progress and the


engine speed is at 4000 RPM, a decrease in engine
speed will occur. During the engine coastdown,
the PCM monitors the CKP sensor signal and stores
the pattern. This pattern is used to determine if
the crankshaft speed variations are due to misfire.
For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. The PCM enables the learn process after 65C
(150F) is reached. Engine deceleration occurs
when the learn procedure is in progress. The PCM
monitors and records the CKP sensor signal
during engine coast-down conditions.
3. Test in Progress on the scan tool indicates the
PCM is performing the learn procedure. If the
PCM receives an incorrect crankshaft to camshaft
pulse ratio, an incorrect transmission range
signal input, corrupted communication, or no
change in the brake switch input, the learn
procedure will not be allowed.
4. If a repair is necessary due to a condition which
prevented the learn procedure from enabling,
the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learning
Procedure must be performed.
5. The ignition must be in the OFF position for at
least 1O seconds after the learn procedure is
complete and the engine RPM has returned to
idle. The PCM saves the signal data after
these conditions are met.

DTC P1380 Misfire Detected - Rough Road Data Not Available


Circuit Description

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The PCM detects engine misfire by detecting variations


in crankshaft deceleration between firing strokes.
For accurate detection of engine misfire the PCM must
distinguish between crankshaft deceleration caused
by actual misfire and deceleration caused by
rough road conditions. The ABS Brake System can
detect if the vehicle is on a rough road based on wheel
acceleration/deceleration data supplied by the wheel
speed sensors. If the ABS system detect~ r~ugh
.
road above a predetermined threshold, this information
is sent to the PCM via serial data. The PCM can
then take the rough road into account when calculating
misfire. Even if the ABS is malfunctioning and
cannot detect rough roads, the misfire diagnostic will
continue to run. However, if a misfire OTC sets,
this additional OTC also sets indicating that rough road
data was not available during the misfire calculation
due to an ABS System malfunction.

Conditions for Running the DTC


OTCs P0101, P0102, P0103, P0121, P0122,
P0123, P0335, P0336, P0742 not set.
The vehicle speed is greater than 10.0 mph.
The engine load is less than 60 percent.
The engine misfire is detected (OTC P0300 set).
The engine speed is less than 3200 RPM.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


An ABS system malfunction exists preventing the
PCM from receiving rough road detection data.

The PCM stores the OTC information into memory


when the diagnostic runs and fails.
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not
illuminate.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores this
information in the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the Mll/DTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF 13-fter 3 consecutive igni~ion cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.

" A last test failed (current OTC) clears when the


diagnostic runs and does not fail:
" A History OTC clears after 40 consecuti~e.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
1. Service the ABS system before diagnosing for a
misfire, because an actual engine misfire may
or may not exist. The following two e~ample~
illustrate how this OTC can be set with or without
an actual engine misfire:
There was an actual engine misfire during an
ABS system malfunction.
The vehicle operator drove on a rough road,
the ABS system could not detect this due to ,

Circuit Description
This diagnostic tests for an EGR valve that is stuck
open. The PCM tests for a stuck open valve when the
desired EGR position is at O percent. The PCM
determines that the EGR valve is stuck open if the
actual EGR position and the learned closed EGR
position vary by more than a predetermined value. The
PCM attempts to clear any obstructions from the
valve. To clear the obstruction the PCM waits for the
EGR desired position to be greater than 20 percent.
Once the. desired EGR position is more than
20 percent the PCM commands the EGR valve to
100 percent then back to O percent. The PCM does
this three times. The PCM retests for a stuck EGR
valve when the desired EGR position returns to
O percent. A failure counter increments if the stuck
EGR valve condition is still present. This OTC
sets when the counter reaches a predetermined value.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The ignition voltage is more than 11. 7 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The actual closed EGR pintle position voltage is
0.29 volts more than the desired closed EGR pintle
position voltage

2. If OTC P1635 sets at the same time, this indicates
that the 5 volt reference circuit is either shorted to
ground or shorted to a voltage. The 5 volt
reference circuit is internally connected within
the PCM.
3. This step tests for open EGR valve when the
valve should be closed.
6. Using Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data
may aid in locating an intermittent condition. If
you cannot duplicated the OTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure

6-1753

Records data can help determine how many miles


since the OTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass
Counter can also help determine how many
ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass
and/or a fail. Operate vehicle within the same
freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle
speed, temperature etc.) that you observed. This
will isolate when the OTC failed.
5. This step tests for an EGR pintle position voltage
that is out of range. The EGR pintle position
voltage should be between 0.14 and 1.07 volts
at idle.
8. This tests whether the ground circuit is available
to the EGR valve. Inspect for poor electrical
connections at the EGR valve.

DTC P1415 Secondary Air Injection (AIR) System Bank 1


Circuit Description
An AIR pump is used on this vehicle to lower tail pipe
emissions on start-up. The PCM supplies a ground
to the AIR pump relay, which energizes the AIR pump.
The PCM monitors the H02S voltages to diagnose
the AIR system.
During the AIR test the PCM activates the AIR pump
during closed loop operation. When the AIR is
activated, the PCM monitors the H02S voltages and
short term fuel trim values for both banks of the
engine. If the AIR system is operating properly, the
H02S voltages should go low and the short term fuel
trim should go high.
If the PCM determines that t.he H02S voltages for
both banks did not respond as expected during
the tests, DTC P041 O sets. If only one sensor
responded, the PCM sets either a DTC P1415 or
P1416 to indicate on which bank the AIR system is
inoperative.

engine. If the AIR system is operating properly, the
H02S voltages should go low and the short term fuel
trim should go high.
If the PCM determines that the H02S voltages for
both banks did not respond as expected during
the tests, DTC P0410 sets. If only one sensor
responded, the PCM sets either a DTC P1415 or
P1416 to indicate on which bank the AIR system is
inoperative.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the. Mll/DTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles

DTC P1539 Air Conditioning (A/C) Clutch Feedback Circuit High Voltage
Refer to Engine Controls Schematics, A/C Compressor
Control for complete circuit details.

Circuit Description
The PCM activates the A/C clutch relay when the
PCM detects an A/C request. Voltage is present at
both the A/C compressor clutch and the A/C
clutch status terminal at the PCM when the relay is
activated.
A OTC P1539 sets if the PCM detects a voltage on
the A/C clutch status terminal when the system has not
requested the A/C.
A short to voltage at any point in the A/C status
circuit, or the A/C relay contacts are stuck, sets a
OTC P1539.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The A/C is not requested.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


Voltage is detected on the A/C status circuit for more
than 15 seconds after the PCM has disengaged
the A/C clutch relay.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM stores the OTC information into memory
when the diagnostic runs and fails.
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL} will not
illuminate.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores this
information in the Failure Records.

Diagnostic Aids
The A/C status circuit goes to the A/C compressor
clutch .. and to the A/C clutch relay. Inspect all
circuits going to these components.
.. For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. If the PCM detects a voltage on the A/C status
circuit with the A/C OFF the scan tool indicates
the A/C status as ON.
3. If the scan tool displayed YES in the RAN column
and INT in the FAIL column, this indicates an
intermittent condition is present. Inspect the A/C
status circuit for an intermittent short to B+. Using
the Freeze Frame and/or the Failure Records
data aids in locating an intermittent condition. If
you can not duplicate the DTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data determines how many miles since
the OTC set. The Fail Counter and the Pass
Counter can also be used to determine how many
ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass
and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the same
freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle
speed, temperature etc.) that the PCM recorded.
This isolates when the DTC failed.
4. The relay is shorted internally if the scan tool
indicates that the test passed.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC


A History OTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this
or any other non-emission related diagnostic.
A last test failed (Current OTC) will clear when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.

or any other non-emission related diagnostic.
A last test failed (Current OTC) will clear when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUOTC.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the


diagnostic table.
2. This step tests the operation of the A/C
compressor clutch. The PCM disables the A/C
compressor clutch when this OTC is set.
3. Using the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records
data may aid in locating an intermittent condition.
If you cannot duplicate the OTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure
Records data can help determine how many miles
since the OTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass
Counter can also help determine how many
ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass
and/or a fail. Operate vehicle within the same
freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle
speed, temperature etc.) that you observed. This
will isolate when the OTC failed.

4. This step tests whether the ignition voltage is


available at the relay.
5. This step determines if the A/C relay is at fault or
the A/C status circuit is at fault. If the A/C clutch
engages, this indicates that the A/C Status
circuit is OK.
6. If the A/C Status is displayed as OFF, this
indicates the A/C status circuit is open between
the splice and the PCM. If the A/C Status is
displayed as ON, this indicates a faulty connection
at the A/C compressor relay or a faulty relay.

Circuit Description
The Vehicle Theft Deterrent system consists of the
following components:
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
Body Control Module (BCM)
Ignition Lock and Key
The Vehicle Theft Deterrent system is designed to
disable vehicle operation if the incorrect key or starting
procedure is used. The Body Control Module (BCM)
enables the crank circuit to the starter and sends
a signal to the PCM if the correct key is being used. If
the proper signal does not reach th.e PCM on the
fuel enable circuit, the PCM will not pulse the injectors
ON and thus not allow the vehicle to continue to
operate, even if the crank circuit is bypassed. The
proper signal is between 40-60 Hz and is measured
using the DMM set to the DC scale.
If a condition with the circuit occurs after the engine is
started and running the PCM will not disable the
fuel injectors. The PCM will continue to enable the fuel
injectors because a correct signal from the BCM
was received by the PCM on startup.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The Engine is in the run or start position.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The PCM does not receive the 40-60 Hz signal
from the Body Control Module
Condition present for less than 1 second

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM stores the OTC information into memory
when the diagnostic runs and fails.
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will not
illuminate.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores this
information in the Failure Records.

.. The engine starts and then stalls or the starter


does not engage.
If a condition with the circuit occurs after the
engine is started and running the engine will start
on the next ignition cycle.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/OTC


A History OTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this
or any other non-emission related diagnostic.
O

A last test failed (Current OTC) will clear when the


diagnostic runs and does not fail.

., Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent water intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
Inspect the GAGE fuse for an open. An open GAGE
fuse causes OTC P1626 to set and the starter does not
operate. Refer to Testing for Short to Ground in
Wiring Systems.

Circuit Description
The PCM uses a common 5.0 volt reference 1 circuit
as a sensor feed. This circuit supplies 5 volts to
the following sensors:
The TP sensor
The MAP sensor
The EGR valve
The PCM monitors the voltage on the 5.0 volt
reference 1 circuit This. OTC sets if the voltage is out
of range.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The ignition switch is in the RUN position.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The 5.0 volt reference circuit is out of range.
All above conditions are present for more than
2 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


.. The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs. and fails.
O The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this informa1ion in
the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a
failure on the second consecutive ignition
cycle, the PCM records the operati11g conditions
at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the
conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the
Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC


The PCM turns the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A last test failed (current OTC) clears when the
diagnostic runs and does not fail.
" A History OTC clears after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission
related diagnostic does not report any failures .
.. Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Engine Controls - 5.7L

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent water intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. The 5 volt reference circuits for the sensors are
connected together inside the PCM. Both
DTCs P1635 and Pi 639 set at the same time,
indicates a 5 voltreference circuit is shorted
to a voltage.
3. The 5 volt reference circuits for the sensors are
connected together inside the PCM. When
only P1635 is set, this indicates a short to ground
on one of the 5 volt reference circuits.

6-1771

4. This step isolates the 5 volt reference circuit from


the sensor signal circuit.
5. This step determines if the 5 volt reference circuits
or the fuel level sensor signal circuit are only
shorted when the fuel pump is enabled. You may
have to enable the fuel pump a couple of times
to see if the voltages increase. Inspect the
fuel pump harness thoroughly for being shorted to
the fuel tank pressure sensor and/or the fuel
level sensor.
6. The Data list can be changed while in output
controls. Select the MORE soft key to select
the next Data list. This procedure is necessary to
view all parameters. Refer to scan tool users
guide for detailed information.
8. The 5 volt reference circuits may be shorted to
another PCM circuit. The shorted circuit may
not be apparent when the PCM harness connector
is disconnected. Testing continuity from each
5 volt reference circuit isolates the shorted circuit.
For detailed circuit information, refer to
appropriate full page schematics.
9. For detailed circuit information, refer to appropriate
full page schematics.
15. This step is testing for a component failure.
Disconnecting each component individually
isolates which component might be causing this

Circuit Description
The L-terminal circuit from the generator is a discrete
circuit (a discrete circuit has no splices and only
one source and one destination) into the PCM. The
PCM applies ignition voltage to the generator
L terminal circuit. A small amount of current flows from
this circuit through the generator windings to create
a magnetic field which starts the generator process.
When the generator is at operating speed and
producing voltage, a solid state switch for the
L terminal circuit in the generator opens and the PCM
detects that the initial startup current flow has
stopped.
The PCM expects to detect low voltage on the
L terminal circuit prior to the generator rotating at
operating speed and conversely expects the circuit to
be at ignition voltage potential when the generator
is operational. When the PCM detects a fault (circuit
shorted to ground, or circuit shorted to a voltage),
this DTC will set.

Conditions for Running the DTC


Engine operating.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The PCM detects an improper voltage on the
generator L terminal circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM stores the DTC information into memory
when the diagnostic runs and fails.
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not
illuminate.
The PCM records the operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores this
information in the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC


A History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this
or any other non-emission related diagnostic.

A last test failed (Current DTC) will clear when the


diagnostic runs and does not fail.
" Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIUDTC.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent water intrusion into the PCM.
.For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents damage fo the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
A generator fault, such as a shorted output diode,
malfunctioning regulator, open or shorted rotor,
or open sense lead may cause a low battery charge.
Refer to A Diagnostic Starting Point - Engine
Electrical in Engine Electrical. for further information
and generator diagnosis.
Use a scan tool in order to diagnosis the generator
circuits. A scan tool displays Generator
L-Terminal Inactive when there is a concern with the
L-terminal circuit.
For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
Diagnostic Table.
2. This step determines if a fault is present.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent water intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
A fuel level sensor signal circuit that is shorted to B+
may set this OTC.

If no circuit conditions can be found, test the affected


component.
For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. The 5 volt reference circuits for the sensors are
connected together inside the PCM. Both
DTCs P1635 and P1639 set at the same time,
indicates a 5 volt reference circuit is shorted to a
voltage.
5. This step determines if a 5 volt reference circuit is
shorted to ground.
6. This step tests for a signal circuit shorted to
voltage.
7. The 5 volt reference circuits may be shorted to
another PCM circuit. The shorted circuit may
not be apparent when the PCM harness connector
is disconnected. Testing continuity from each
5 volt reference circuit isolates the shorted circuit.
11. This step is testing for a component failure.
Disconnecting each component individually
isolates which component might be causing this
OTC to set.

Intermittent Conditions
Action

Inspections

Definition: The condition is not currently present but is indicated in DTC History.

OR
There is a customer concern, but the symptom can not currently be duplicated (if the condition is not DTC related).
Visual/Physical Inspection

This step is an important aid for locating a condition without extensive testing.
Perform a visual/physical inspection of the following items:
Wiring harness for damage or cuts.
A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such
as secondary ignition components, motors and generators. These components
may induce electrical noise on a circuit that could interfere with normal circuit
operation.
Vacuum hoses for proper routing, connections, splits or kinks.
Verify the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor is installed correctly. The arrows on the
housing should point toward the engine.
Air leaks at the throttle body mounting area, MAF, and the intake manifold
sealing surfaces.
PCM and body grounds for being clean and tight.
Battery connections are clean and tight.
Charging System for proper operation. Refer to A Diagnostic Starting Point Engine Electrical in Engine Electrical.

Harness/Connector Inspection

Many intermittent conditions occur with harness/connector movement caused by


vibration, engine torque, rough pavement or component operation. Refer to
Testing for Electrical lntermittents in Wiring Systems.
Excessive circuit resistance can cause a component to be inoperative. If the
suspect component does not respond to scan tool commands, then inspect all
related circuits for excessive resistance. Refer to Testing for Continuity in. Wiring
Systems.

Duplicating Failure Conditions

Freeze Frame/Failure Records data (where applicable) can be used to duplica1e the
conditions under which a DTC sets.

1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data


2. Clear DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn Off the ignition for 30 seconds.
4. Operate the engine as close to the conditions that were noted in Freeze
Frame/Failure Records. The engine must also be operating within the
conditions for running the DTC, refer to Conditions for Running the DTC.
5. Monitor the DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate
Ran, when the enabling conditions have been met. The scan tool will also
indicate whether the OTC passed or failed.
The J 42598 Vehicle Data recorder allows the customer, or the technician, to
drive the vehicle and capture data as the intermittent condition occurs. Pressing
a button on the Vehicle Data Recorder, while the intermittent condition is
present, records PCM data which can be used to isolate th.e condition.
O

An. alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM J 39200 connected to
the suspected circuit. An abnormal reading on the DMM when the condition
occurs, may help you locate the condition.

Compare the Freeze Frame/Failure Records with the typical values in the Scan
Tool Data List.
Scan Tool Snapshot

The scan tool can be set up to take a 'snapshot' of the parameters available via
serial data. The Snapshot function records live data over a period of time. The
recorded data can be played back and analyzed. The scan tool can also graph
parameters individually or in combinations of parameters for comparison. The
snapshot can be triggered manually at the time the symptom is noticed, or set up in
advance to trigger when a DTC sets.
An abnormal value captured in the recorded data may point to a system or
component that needs further investigation.
Refer to the scan tool user instructions for more information on the Snapshot
function.

For complete circuit details refer to A/C Compressor

Diagnostic Aids

Control.

Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent water intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
Ensure no PCM DTCs are stored before using this
table. The PCM will not activate the A/C clutch with a
stored OTC.

.Circuit Description:
The A/C clutch relay is PCM controlled to delay A/C
clutch engagement after the A/C is turned ON.
This allows the PCM to adjust engine RPM before the
A/C clutch engages. The PCM will engage the A/C
clutch any time A/C has been requested unless any of
the following conditions exist:
High coolant temperature
O

Low A/C system pressure

High A/C system pressure


Wide open throttle
High engine RPM

Test Description

When the heater and A/C control is placed in the A/C


mode and the engine is operating, a 12 volt signal
is sent to the PCM. When the PCM receives this signal
the PCM will ground the A/C clutch relay control
circuitttoleneA/rgicze the A/tCYrEeSlay. This is shown on the
scan oo as
reques

When a request for A/C has been detected by the


PCM, the PCM will ground the A/C clutch relay control
circuit, the relay contacts will close, and current will
flow through the relay to the A/C compressor clutch.

The numbers below refer to numbers on the


diagnostic table.
2 . A/C DTCs will disable the A/C system. Repair A/C
DTCs before proceeding.
3. The request circuit is shorted to a voltage if the
scan tool displays A/C request as YES.
5. A condition exists with the request circuit between
the PCM and ttie HVAC Programmer, or the
HVAC Programmer is malfunctioning if the test
lamp did not illuminate.

A/C Refrigerant Pressure Sensor Circuit Diagnosis


)

Refer to Engine Controls Schematics, A/C Compressor


Control for complete circuit details.

Circuit Description
The AJC system uses an A/C refrigerant pressure
sensor mounted in the high side of the A/C system to
monitor A/C refrigerant pressure. The PCM utilizes
this information in order to disable the A/C compressor
clutch when the A/C system pressure is out of
range. The PCM also uses A/C refrigerant pressure
sensor to enable the engine coolant fans when the A/C
refrigerant pressure is high.
The PCM supplies a 5 volt reference, a signal circuit,
and a ground circuit to the A/C refrigerant pressure
sensor. As the A/C pressure increases or decreases,
the resistance of the sensor changes and varies
the amount of signal voltage detected by the PCM.

The following may cause an intermittent:


Poor connections; Refer to Testing for Intermittent
and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.
Mis-routed harness.
Rubbed through wire insulation.
Broken wire inside the insulation.
If the test did not fail this ignition cycle, move the
related electrical harnesses and the connectors while
monitoring a scan tool.
For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.

Diagnostic Aids

Important:
" Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent contaminate intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or a
component harness connector, use the J 35616-A
connect9r test adapter Kit. Using this kit
prevents damage to the harness/component
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.

3. The normal A/C voltage is between 1.0 and


1.8 volts.
5. If the A/C pressure/voltage stays high after
disconnecting the A/C refrigerant pressure sensor
electrical connector, this indicates the signal
circuit is shorted to a voltage.
7. This step tests for a good ground circuit.
8. This step verifies the integrity of the A/C
refrigerant pressure sensor signal circuit.
11. If you have thoroughly inspected the 5.0 volt
reference circuit (for opens, shorts to ground, PCM
connections etc.) and is OK, then replace
the PCM.
12. If you. have thoroughly inspected the ground
circuit for opens and the PCM connections
are OK, then replace the PCM.

Electric Cooling Fan Diagnosis


Refer to Engine Controls Schematics, Cooling Fans
for complete circuit details.

Circuit Description

The cooling fan system in this vehicle provides for


two separate modes of operation. These are the low
speed fan and the high speed fan operating modes.
The low speed mode operates both fans at half speed
by using a series circuit configuration. The high
speed mode operates both fans at full speed by using
a parallel circuit configuration. These two operating
modes are accomplished using 3 fan control relays.
This system which uses three relays to control two fan
motors appears complicated. To aid in better
understanding this system it is suggested to follow the
circuits in the schematic as you read the description.
This will aid in understanding the two distinct modes of
operating the relays and coolant fans.
Low speed fan operation is established when the
PCM commands Fan Relay #1 ON by grounding
circuit 335 with an internal driver (relays #2 and #3
are left OFF). This closes the relay switch and allows
current to flow from the battery, through the switch
contacts on circuit 409 to the Left Hand (LH) cooling
fan. Current flow continues out of the fan motor
on circuit 532 to relay #3. The unenergized relay #3
switch contacts allow current to flow to circuit 504. This
provides power to the.Right Hand (RH) cooling fan
motor. The low side of the RH cooling fan completes
the circuit to ground on circuit 150. This circuit is a
series circuit which allows half speed operation
for each fan since each fan motor will drop half of the
supplied battery power.
High speed operation is established when all
three relays are energized. Relays #2 and #3 share
the same control circuit to the PCM. This is circuit 473.
As in the low speed mode, Relay #1 supplies current
flow to the LH cooling fan on circuit 409. Current
flow continues through the motor on circuit 532 to

relay #3 which is now energized. The switch has now


provided a path for current to flow through circuit
150 directly to ground. This circuit now only has the
LH fan motor to power and allows it to run at full
speed. Relay #2 is also energized and provides current
flow on circuit 504 to the RH cooling fan. This fan
now has its own dedicated circuit and will operate at
full speed. This mode is operating as a parallel circuit.

Diagnostic Aids
If the owner complained of an overheating problem,
determine if the complaint was due to an actual
boil over, or the warning indicator light illuminated, or
the engine coolant temperature gauge .indicated
overheating. The gauge accuracy can also be checked
by comparing the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
sensor reading using a scan tool and comparing
its reading with the gauge reading. If the engine is
actually overheating and the gauge indicated
overheating, but the cooling fan is not coming ON, the
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor has
probably shifted out of calibration and should be
replaced.
If the engine is overheating and the cooling fans are
ON, the cooling system should be checked, refer
to Engine Overheating in. Engine Cooling.
The PCM will command low speed fans ON at 108C
(226F) and OFF at 103C (217F) and, high speed
.
fans ON at 113C (235F) and OFF at 108C (226F).

Test Description
The numbers below refer to numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. The PCM will enable the engine cooling fans
when certain Diagnostic Trouble Codes are
set. Go to applicable OTC Table first before
proceeding with this table.
3. The engine coolant temperature must be below

Circuit Description

Diagnostic Aids

The L-terminal circuit from the generator is a discrete


circuit (a discrete circuit has no splices and only
one source and one destination) into the PCM. The
PCM applies ignition voltage to the generator
L terminal circuit. A small amount of current flows from
this circuit through the generator windings to create
a magnetic field which starts the generator process.
When the generator is at operating speed and
producing voltage, a solid state switch for the
L terminal circuit in the generator opens and the PCM
detects that the initial startup current flow has
stopped.
The PCM expects to detect low voltage on the
L terminal circuit prior to the generator rotating at
operating speed and conversely expects the circuit to
be at ignition voltage potential when the generator
is operational. When the PCM detects a fault (circuit
shorted to ground, or circuit shorted to a voltage),
the battery lamp will illuminate.

Important:
.. Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent water intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
Connector Test Adapter Kit J 35616-A. Using this
kit prevents any damage to the harness
connector terminals. Refer to Using Connector
Test Adapters in Wiring Systems.
A generator fault, such as a shorted output diode,
malfunctioning regulator, an open or shorted rotor, or
an open sense lead may cause a low battery
charge condition. Refer to A Diagnostic Starting Point
- Engine Electrical in Engine Electrical.

_Circuit Description

Diagnostic Aids

The Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch contacts are


closed fo ground in park and neutral. The PCM applies
a voltage (about 12.0 Volts) to the switch. When the
gear selector is in the park or neutral position, the
PNP switch is closed and the PCM senses low signal
voltage. When the gear selector is in reverse or a
drive range, the PNP switch opens, and the PCM
senses high signal voltage. The PCM will increase the
idle air rate to compensate for the additional load
on the engine when the transmission is in gear.

Important:

Some of the PCMs other uses for the PNP signal are:
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) diagnostics
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) operation

Remove any debris from the PCM connector


surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent water intrusion into the PCM.
" For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit
prevents any damage to the harness connector
terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters
in Wiring Systems.
A PNP switch that does not close or an open circuit
may cause the engine idle speed to drop when
the vehicle is shifted into gear.
A switch that will not open or the signal circuit shorted
to ground will cause the EGR system to be
inoperative, possibly resulting in excessive
spark knock.
Inspect all related wiring and connectors including the
connections at the PCM. These may cause an
intermittent malfunction. Inspect for damaged,
corroded or pushed out terminals.

Circuit Description
The Oil Level switch is a normally.open switch. When
the oil level is within an acceptable range the Oil
Level switch closes .. The switch opens when
the engine oil level drops below a predetermined
amount. The PCM tests the Engine Oil Level switch
circuit with the ignition ON (engine OFF). The
PCM monitors the engine coolant temperature to
ensure proper engine oil drain back. to the oil pan.
When the engine is colder the engine oil drain
back process takes a greater amount of time.
The PCM sends a message (via Class 2) to the IPC
to turn ON the Oil Level indicator when the engine
oil level drops below a predetermined value and the
conditions for running the test are met.

Conditions for Testing for Low Engine Oil


DTC P0117 and P0118 are not set.
T.he ignition is ON with the engine OFF.
The PCM compares the last ignition OFF engine
coolant temperature (stored temperature) to the
Ignition ON engine coolant temperature.
If the PCM determines the Ignition ON engine
coolant temperature is cooler then Ignition
OFF engine coolant temperature by a
predetermined amount, the PCM tests the Engine
Oil Level sensor circuit. The following table
illustrates the required temperatures to .enable the
Engine Oil Level test:

Turn OFF the engine.
The ignition must remain OFF for a minimum of
1 hour.
The PCM tests the engine oil level circuit at
ignition ON to determine the engine oil level
is within range.
The engine coolant temperature should decrease
by 10c (18F). When you turn the ignition ON
the conditions for performing the test should
be met and the Low Engine Oil indicator clears.

Fuel Injector Balance Test with Tech 2


Circuit Description
The scan tool first energizes the fuel pump and then
the injectors for a precise amount of time allowing
a measured amount of fuel into the manifold.
This causes a drop in system fuel pressure that can
be recorded and used to compare each injector.

Test Description
Caution: Wrap a shop towel around the fuel
pressure connection in order to reduce the risk of
fire and personal injury. The towel wm absorb
any fuel leakage that occurs during the connection
of the fuel pressure gauge. Place the towel in an
approved container when the connection of
the fuel pressure gauge is complete.

5. The fuel pressure should be within the specified


range. If the fuel pressure is not within the
specified range, go to Fuel System Diagnosis.

6. The fuel pressure should reach a steady value. If


the fuel pressure does not reach a steady value,
go to Fuel System Diagnosis.
7. If the pressure drop value for each fuel injector is
within 10 kPa (1.5 psi) of the average pressure
drop value, the fuel injectors are flowing properly.
Calculate the pressure drop value for each fuel
injector by subtracting the second pressure
reading from the first pressure reading.

4. The engine coolant temperature must be below


the operating temperature in order to avoid
irregular fuel pressure readings due to Hot Soak
fuel boiling.

2. The engine coolant temperature affects the ability
of the fuel injector tester to detect a faulty fuel
injector. If the engine coolant temperature is NOT
between 10C and 35C (50F and 95F),
refer to Fuel lnj Coil Test - ECT Outside
10-35 Degrees C (50-95 Degrees F).
3. The first second of the voltage displayed by the
DMM may be inaccurate due to the initial
current surge. Therefore, record the lowest voltage
displayed by the DMM after the first second of
the test. The voltage displayed by the DMM should
be within the specified range (refer to the
Example). The voltage displayed by the DMM

rhay increase throughout the test as the fuel


injector windings warm. and the resistance of the
fuel injector windings changes. An erratic
voltage reading (large fluctuations in voltage that
do not stabilize) indicates an intermittent
connection within the fuel injector.

Fuel Tank leak Check


Caution: Place a dry ct,emic:al (Class BJ fire
extinguisher near the area before performing a
Fuel Tank Leak Check. Before removing the
fuel tank for a suspected leak, make sure that the
fuel pipes or the tubes are not leaking onto the
tank. Once removed, make sure that the fuel is not
leaking around the fuel sender 0-ring. Failure to
follow these precautions may result in personal
injury.

Important: This check requires a fuel sender


assembly, a fuel sender seal, a fuel fill pipe, a fuel fill
hose, fuel fill hose clamps and a fuel filler cap to
be installed in the fuel tank.

11. Connect a piece of hose to the EVAP pipe (3) on


the fuel sender assembly.

Notice: Do not submerge the fuel tank assembly in


water in order to check for leaks in the fuel tank.
Submerging the fuel tank in water may damage the
electrical components mounted on the fuel tank.
12. Apply a soap solution to the outside of the
fuel tank.
13. Apply 10 kPa (1112 psi) air pressure to the piece of
hose on the fuel sender EVAP pipe. Air bubbles
appearing from the fuel tank indicate a leak.
14. Replace the fuel tank if it is leaking. Refer to Fuel
Tank Replacement.

Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis
Alcohol-in-fuel can be detrimental to fuel system
components and may cause driveability problems such
as hesitation, lack of power, stall, no start, etc. The
problems may be due to fuel system corrosion
and subsequent fuel filter plugging, deterioration of
rubber components, and/or air-fuel mixture leaning.
Commercial fuel uses various types and
concentrations of alcohol. Some types of alcohol are
more detrimental to fuel system components than
others. If you suspect an excessive amount of alcohol
in the fuel as the cause of a driveability condition,
use the Alcohol-in-Fuel Testing Procedure to detect the
presence of alcohol in the fuel.

Alcohol-in-Fuel Testing Procedure

376978

Caution: Refer to the Battery Disconnect Caution


in Cautions and Notices.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Relieve the fuel system pressure. Refer to the
Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure.
3. Drain the fuel tank. Refer to Fuel Tank Draining
Procedure.
4. Remove the fuel tank. Refer to Fuel Tank
Replacement.
5. Remove the EV AP vent valve. Refer to EVAP
Vent Valve Replacement.
6. Remove the EVAP canister. Refer to EVAP
Canister Replacement.
7. Remove the fuel feed pipe (4), the fuel return
pipe (2), and the fuel sender EVAP pipe to fill
limiter vent valve (3).
8. Plug the fuel feed pipe and the fuel return pipe on
the fuel sender assembly.
9. Plug the fill limiter vent valve nipple (10).
10. Plug the over pressure relief valve hose (9).

Draw the fuel sample from the bottom of the tank in


order to detect any water present in the tank. The
sample should be bright and clear. If the sample
appears cloudy, or contaminated with water (as
indicated by a water layer at the bottom of the sample),
do not use this procedure. Refer to Fuel System
Cleaning.
1. Fill a 100 ml cylinder with fuel to the 90 ml mark.
2. Add 10 ml of water to bring the total fluid
volume to 100 ml. Install a stopper on the cylinder.
3. Shake the cylinder vigorously for
10 to i 5 seconds.
4. Carefully loosen the stopper to release the
pressure.
5. Close the stopper and shake the cylinder
vigorously again for 10 to 15 seconds.
6. Put the graduated cylinder on a level surface for
approximately 5 minutes to allow adequate liquid
separation.
If alcohol is present in the fuel, the volume of the
lower layer, which would now contain both alcohol and
water, will be more than 10 ml. For example, if the
volume of the lower layer increases to 15 ml, this
indicates at least 5 percent alcohol in the fuel. The
actual amount of alcohol may be somewhat more
because this procedure does not extract all of
the alcohol from the fuel.

Circuit Description

Diagnostic Aids

The PCM creates the Engine Speed Output signal by


rapidly grounding this circuit via an internal switch
called a driver.
The driver supplies the ground for the component
being controlled. Each driver has a fault line which the
PCM monitors. When the PCM commands a
component ON, the voltage of the control circuit
should be low (near O volts). When the PCM
commands the control circuit to a component OFF, the
voltage potential of the circuit should be high (near
battery voltage).

Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure.tht the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent water intrusion into the PCM.
For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
Connector Test Adapter Kit J 35616-A. Using this
kit prevents any damage to the harness
connector terminals. Refer to Using Connector
Test Adapters.in Wiring Systems.
For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.

Circuit Description
A Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor determines the
engine crankshaft position. The sensor is mounted and
protrudes into the rear of the engine block. The
sensor is near a slotted wheel on the crankshaft. The
rotation of the slotted wheel causes a magnetic
flux change in the sensor. This produces a voltage
signal from the electronic Ignition Control
Module (ICM). The signal creates the reference pulses
needed by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
These signals trigger the correct ignition coil to fire, at
the correct time.
The ignition system on this engine uses an individual
ignition coil/module for each cylinder. The PCM
controls the ignition system operation. There are eight
Ignition Control (IC} circuits, one per cylinder, that
connect the PCM and the ignition coil/modules. Each
ignition coil/module has a power feed, a chassis
ground circuit, and a reference low circuit. The PCM
causes a spark to occur by grounding the IC
circuit, which signals the ignition module to trigger the
ignition coil and fire the spark plug. The PCM
controls the sequencing and timing.

Diagnostic Aids
Important:
Remove any debris from the PCM connector
su.rfac'3s before servicing the PCM. Inspect
the PCM connector gaskets when
diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the
gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets
prevent water intrusion into the PCM.
" For any test that requires probing the PCM or
component harness connectors, use the
Connector Test Adapter Kit J 35616-A. Using this
kit prevents any damage to the harness
connector terminals. Refer to Using Connector
Test Adapters in Wiring Systems.

Inspect for poor connections. Refer to Testing for

Several states require that the vehicle pass
on-board (OBD II system) tests for the major
diagnostics prior to having a vehicle 1/M emission
inspection. Some areas may require that the vehicle
pass the OBD II system tests and the 1/M emission
inspection in order to renew license plates.
Using a scan tool; the technician can obs.erve the
System Status (Complete or Not Complete) in order to
verify that the vehicle meets the criteria which
complies with the local area requirements. Using the
System Status display, monitor any of the following
systems or a combination of the systems (depending
on vehicle make and model) for 1/M Readiness:
Cataiyst
Heated Oxygen Sensor (H02S)
Heated Oxygen Sensor (H02S) Heater
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
Evaporative Emission (EV AP)
Secondary Air Injection System (AIR)

Important: The System Status display indicates only if


the PCM has completed the required tests (DTCs).
The System Status display does not necessarily mean
that the test has passed. If a failure indication is
present for a OTC associated with one of the above
systems, that test has failed. Diagnosis and repair are
necessary in order to meet the 1/M requirement.
Verify that the vehicle passes all of the diagnostic tests
associated with the displayed System Status prior to
returning the vehicle to the customer.
Following a OTC Info Clear, battery disconnect, or a
control module replacement, all of the System
Status information will be set to Not Complete.

Throttle Body Cleaning Procedure


Important: Over extended time and mileage, deposits
may accumulate on the back of the throttle valve
plate. The source of the deposit is EGR gas. Typically
these deposits pose no problem. Occasionally the
deposit may accumulate to a point where perceived
pedal effort is effected. This procedure should not
be performed on vehicles with low mileage, under
80,450 kilometers (50,000 miles).
1. Remove the air intake duct.

Notice: Do not insert any tools into the throttle body


bore in order to avoid damage to the throttle
valve plate.
2. Inspect the throttle body bore and the throttle
valve plate for deposits. It is necessary to open
the throttle valve to inspect all surfaces.
Notice: Do not use any solvent that contains Methyl
Ethyl Ketone (MEK). This solvent may damage
fuel system components.
3. Clean the throttle body bore and the throttle valve
plate using a clean shop towel with GM Top
Engine Cleaner, P/N 1052626 or AC-Delco
Carburetor Tune-Up Conditioner, P/N X66-P, or
equivalent product.
4. Install the air intake duct.

Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure


Caution: Relieve the fuel system pressure before
servicing fuel system components in order to
reduce the risk of fire and personal injury.
After relieving the system pressure, a small
amount of fuel may be released when servicing
the fuel lines or connections. In order to reduce the
chance of personal injury, cover the regulator
and tile fuel line fittings with a shop towel before
disconnecting. This will catch any fuel that
may leak out. Place the towel in an approved
container when the disconnection is complete.
Tools Required

Description and Operation


Powertrain Control Module Description
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is designed to
maintain exhaust emission levels while maintaining
excellent driveability and fuel efficiency. The PCM
controls the following operations:
Fuel control
Ignition Control (IC)
Knock Sensor (KS) system
Automatic transmission shift functions
Manual transmission: 1-4 Upshift and Reverse
Inhibit
Cruise Control Enable (if so equipped)
Generator
" Evaporative Emission (EV AP) Purge
AJC Clutch Control
Cooling Fan Control
" Secondary Air Injection (AIR)
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
On-board diagnostics for powertrain functions.

Powertrain Control Module

187237

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is located in


the engine compartment. The PCM is the control
center of the vehicle.
The PCM constantly monitors the information from
various sensors and controls the systems that
affect vehicle performance and emissions. The PCM
also performs the diagnostic functions for those
systems. It can recognize operational problems and
will alert the driver through the MIL (Malfunction
Indicator Lamp) when a malfunction has occurred.
When the PCM detects a malfunction, it stores
a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) which will help identify
problem areas. This is done to aid the technician in
making repairs.
The PCM supplies either 5.0 or 12.0 volts to power
various sensors or switches. This is done through
resistances in the PCM. The resistance is so high in

value that a test lamp will not illuminate when


connected to the circuit. In some cases, even an
ordinary shop voltmeter will not give an accurate
reading because its resistance is too low. Therefore, a
digital voltmeter (J 39200) with a minimum of
10 megaohms input impedance is required to ensure
accurate voltage readings.
The PCM controls output circuits such as the injectors,
IAC, cooling fan relays, etc. by controlling the
ground or the power feed circuit through transistors or
a device called an Output Driver Module.

Torque Management
Torque Management is a function of the PCM that
reduces engine power under certain conditions. Torque
Management is performed for the following reasons:
To prevent over stressing the powertrain
components.
., To prevent damage to the vehicle during certain
abusive maneuvers.
To reduce engine speed when the IAC is out of
the normal operating range.
The PCM monitors the following sensors and engine
parameters to calculate engine output torque:
Air/Fuel ratio
Mass Air Flow
.. Manifold Absolute Pressure
" Intake Air Temperature
" Spark Advance
" Engine Speed
" Engine Coolant Temperature
O A/C Clutch Status
The PCM monitors the torque converter status, the
transmission gear ratio, and the engine speed in order
to determine if torque reduction is required. The
PCM retards the spark as appropriate to reduce engine
torque output if torque reduction is required. The
PCM also shuts off the fuel to certain injectors
to reduce the engine power In the case of an abusive
maneuver.
The following are instances when engine power
reduction is likely to be experienced:
During tra.nsmission upshifts and downshifts.
Heavy acceleration from a standing start.
The IAC is out of the normal operating range.
When the driver is performing harsh or abusive
maneuvers such as shifting into gear at high
throttle angles or shifting the transmission from
reverse to drive to create a rocking motion.
The driver is unlikely to notice the torque management
actions in the first two instances. The engine power
output will be moderate at full throttle in the other
two cases.
The PCM calculates the amount of spark retard
necessary to reduce the engine power by the desired
amount. The PCM disables the fuel injectors for
cylinders i, 4, 6, and 7 in the case of an abusive
maneuver.

PCM Function

Maintenance Schedule

The PCM supplies a buffered voltage to various


sensors and switches. The PCM controls most
components with electronic switches which complete a
ground circuit when turned ON.

Refer to the General Motors Maintenance Schedule of


the appropriate service category for the maintenance
that the owner or technician should perform in order to
retain emission control performance.

PCM Service Precautions

Visual and Physical Underhood Inspection

The PCM is designed to withstand normal current


draws associated with vehicle operations. Avoid
overloading any circuit. When testing for opens or
shorts, .do not ground any of the PCM circuits unless
instructed. When testing for opens or shorts, do
not apply voltage to any of the PCM circuits unless
instructed. Test these circuits with a digital voltmeter
J 39200 only, while the PCM connectors remain
connected.

Perform a careful visual and physical underhood


inspection when performing any diagnostic procedure
or diagnosing the cause of an emission test failure.
This can often lead to repairing a problem without
further steps. Use the following guidelines when
performing a visual and physical inspection:
" Inspect all vacuum hoses for the following
conditions:
- Correct routing
- Pinches
- Cuts
- Disconnected
O Inspect all wires in the engine compartment for
the following items:
- Proper connections
- Burned or chafed spots
- Pinched wires
- Contact with sharp edges
- Contact with hot exhaust manifolds
This visual and physical inspection is very important.
Preform the inspection carefully and thoroughly.

Aftermarket (Add-On) Electrical And Vacuum


Equipment
Aftermarket (Add-On) Electrical and Vacuum
Equipment is defined as any equipment installed on a
vehicle after leaving the factory t.hat connects to
the vehicle's electrical or vacuum systems. No
allowances have been made in the vehicle design for
this type of equipment.
Notice: Do not attach add-on vacuum operated
equipment to this vehicle. The use of add-on vacuum
equipment may resultin damage to vehicle
components or systems.

Engine Controls - 5.7L

Notice: Connect any add~on electrically operated


equipment to the vehicle's electrical system at
the battery (power and ground) in order to prevent
damage to the vehicle.
Add-On electrical equipment, even when installed to
these strict guidelines, may still cause the Powertrain
system to malfunction. This may also include
equipment not connected to the vehicle's electrical
system such as portable telephones and radios.
Therefore, the first step in diagnosing any Powertrain
problem is to eliminate all aftermarket electrical
equipment from the vehicle. After this is done, if the
problem still exists, diagnose the problem in the normal
manneL

Primary System Based Diagnostics


There are primary system based diagnostics which
evaluate the system operation and their effect on
vehicle emissions. The primary system based
diagnostics are listed below with a brief description of
the diagnostic functionality.

Oxygen Sensor Diagnosis


Diagnose the Fuel Control Heated Oxygen Sensors
for the following conditions:
Heater Performance (time to activity on cold start)
" Slow Response
" Response Time (time to switch R/L or UR)
" Inactive Signal (output steady at bias voltage approximately 450 mV)
Signal Fixed High
Signal Fixed Low
Diagnose the Catalyst Monitor Heated Oxygen
Sensors for the following functions:
" Heater Performance (time to activity on cold start)
Signal fixed low during steady state conditions.
o Inactive Sensor.

Heated Oxygen Sensors (Pre-Catalyst)


The main function of the Pre-Catalyst Heated Oxygen
Sensor (H02S) is to provide the PCM with exhaust
stream information in order to maintain proper fueling
to hold emissions within acceptable levels. These
oxygen sensors are always located between the
exhaust manifold and the catalytic converter. After the
sensor reaches the operating temperature, the
sensor generates a voltage inversely proportional to
the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust gases.

EGR, EVAP Purge

The PCM uses the signal voltage from the fuel control
heated oxygen sensors in a closed loop in order to
adjust the fuel injector pulse width. While in a closed
loop, the PCM can adjust fuel delivery in order to
maintain an air to fuel ratio which allows the
best combination of emission control and driveability.
If the oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector or
terminal are damaged, replace the entire oxygen
sensor assembly. Do not attempt to repair the wiring,
connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to
function properly, the sensor must have a clean air
reference provided to it. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor wires. Any
attempt to repair the wires, connectors or
terminals could result in the obstruction of the air
reference. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors
or terminals would degrade oxygen sensor
performance.

Catalyst Monitor Heated Oxygen Sensors


In order to control emissions of Hydrocarbons (HC),
Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Oxides of Nitrogen. (NOx),
the system uses a three-way catalytic converter.
The catalyst promotes a chemical reaction which
oxidizes the HC and CO present in the exhaust gas,
converting them into harmless water vapor and carbon
dioxide. The catalyst also reduces NOx, converting
it to nitrogen. Catalyst Monitor H02S ( Post Catalyst
H02S) are always located downstream of the catalytic

converter.

Engine

The PCM has the ability to monitor this process using


the post catalyst heated oxygen sensors. The
pre-sensors produce an output signal which indicates
the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust gas
entering the three-way catalytic converter. The post
sensor produces an output signal which indicates the
oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst. This in
turn indicates the catalyst's ability to convert exhaust
gases efficiently. If the catalyst is operating
efficiently, the pre H02S signal will be far more active
than that produced by the post H02S.

Engine Controls - 5.7L

6-1935

The catalyst monitor diagnostic is sensitive to the


following conditions:
Exhaust leaks
H02S Contamination
O

Alternative fuels (Ethanols and Methanols)

Exhaust system leaks may cause the following:


Prevent a degraded catalyst from failing the
diagnostic
" Cause a false failure for a normally functioning
catalyst

In addition to catalyst monitoring, the post heated


oxygen sensor has a limited role in controlling
fuel delivery. If the post H02S signal indicates a high
or low oxygen content for an extended period of
time while in a closed loop, the PCM adjusts the fuel
delivery slightly in order to compensate.

Some of the contaminants that may be encountered


are phosphorus, lead, silica, and sulfur. The presence
of any of these contaminants will reduce catalyst
efficiency and lead to emission failures.

Catalyst Monitor Diagnostic Operation

Three-Way Catalyst Oxygen Storage Capacity

" Prevent the diagnostic from running

The catalyst monitor diagnostic measures oxygen


storage capacity of the catalyst converter ..In order to
do this, the heated sensors are installed before
and after the Three-Way Catalyst (TWC). Voltage
variations between the sensors allow the PCM
to determine the catalyst emission performance.

A good catalyst (e.g. 95% hydrocarbon conversion


efficiency) shows a relatively flat output voltage on the
post-catalyst heated oxygen sensor (H02S} signal
circuit. A degraded catalyst (65% hydrocarbon
conversion) shows a greatly increased activity in
output voltage from the post catalyst H02S.
The post-catalyst H02S is used to measure the
oxygen storage and release capacity of the catalyst. A
high oxygen storage capacity indicates a good
catalyst. Low oxygen storage capacity indicates a
failing catalyst. The TWC and the H02S must be at
operating temperature in order to achieve reliable
oxygen sensor voltages like those shown in the
Three-Way Catalyst Oxygen Storage Capacity graphic.
The PCM performs the catalyst diagnostic at idle
when the conditions for running the diagnostic are met.
Refer to Conditions for Running the OTC in
OTC P0420 Catalyst System Low Efficiency Bank 1 or
OTC P0430 Catalyst System Low Efficiency Bank 2.
During the catalyst diagnostic the PCM captures
the current rear H02S rich/lean status. The Air Fuel
ratio transitions from rich to lean or lean to rich
depending on the initial captured rich/lean status. The
Air Fuel ratio transitions a second time opposite
the 1irst Air Fuel ratio transition. During this diagnostic
the scan tool will display H02S voltages going
from full rich to full lean. This condition is normal
during this diagnostic.

As a catalyst becomes less effective in promoting


chemical reactions, the catalyst's capacity to store and
release oxygen generally degrades. The catalyst
mqnitor diagnostic is based on a correlation between
conversion efficiency and oxygen storage capacity.

________

14442

The PCM must monitor the Three-Way Catalyst


system (TWC) for efficiency. In order to accomplish
this, the PCM monitors the pre-catalyst and
post-catalyst oxygen sensors. When the TWC is
operating properly, the post-catalyst (2) oxygen
sensor will have significantly less activity than the
pre-catalyst (1) oxygen sensor. The TWC stores
oxygen during its normal reduction and oxidation
process. The TWC releases oxygen during its normal
reduction and oxidation process. The PCM calculates
the oxygen storage capacity using the difference
between the pre-catalyst and post-catalyst oxygen
sensor's voltage levels.

Engine

Engine Controls - 5.7l


Misfire Monitor Diagnostic Operation

/
14446

Whenever the sensor activity of the post-catalyst (2)


oxygen sensor nears the sensor activity of the
pre-catalyst (1) oxygen sensor, the catalysts efficiency
is degraded.
Aftermarket H02S characteristics may be different
from the original equipment manufacturer sensor. This
may lead to a false pass or a false fail of the catalyst
monitor diagnostic. Similarly, if an aftermarket
catalyst does not contain the same amount of precious
metal content as the original part, the correlation
between oxygen storage and conversion efficiency
may be altered enough to set a false DTC.

The misfire monitor diagnostic is based on crankshaft


rotational velocity (reference period) variations.
The PCM determines crankshaft rotational veloci1y
using the crankshaft position sensor and camshatt
position sensor. When a cylinder misfires the
crankshaft slows down momentarily. By monitoring the
crankshaft and camshaft position sensor signals,
the PCM can calculate when a misfire occurs.
For a non-catalyst damaging misfire, the diagnostic is
required to monitor a misfire present for between
1000-3200 engine revolutions.
For catalyst damage misfire, the diagnostic responds
to the misfire within 200 engine revolutions.
Rough roads may cause false misfire detection. A
rough road applies sudden torque variations to
the drive wheels and drivetrain. This torque can
intermittently decrease the crankshaft rotational
velocity. The ABS system detects uneven speed
between the vehicles wheels and sends data via the
serial data bus to the PCM to disable the misfire
monitor until the rough road is no longer detected.
On automatic transmission equipped vehicles,
the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) will disable
whenever a misfire is detected. Disabling the TCC
isolates the engine from the rest of the drive line and
minimizes the effect of the drive wheel inputs on
crankshaft rotation.
When the TCC is disabled as a result of misfire
detection, the TCC will re-enabled after approximately
3200 engine revolutions if no misfire is detected.
The TCC remains disabled whenever the misfire is
detected, with or without a DTC set. This allows
the misfire diagnostic to reevaluate the system.

Whenever a cylinder misfires, the misfire diagnostic


counts the misfire and notes the crankshaft position at
the time the misfire occurred.
A current and a history misfire counter is maintained
for each cylinder. The misfire current counters (Misfire
Cur #1 - 8) indicate the number of firing events out
of the last 200 cylinder firing events which were
misfires. The misfire current counters displays real
time data without a misfire DTC stored. The misfire
history counters (Misfire Hist #1 - 8) indicate the total
number of cylinder firing events which were misfires.
The misfire history counters displays O until the misfire
diagnostic has failed and a DTC P0300 is set. Once
the misfire DTC sets, the misfire history counters
will be updated every 200 cylinder firing events. The
Misfire counters graphic illustrates how these
misfire counters are maintained.

When crankshaft rotation is erratic, the PCM detects a


misfire condition. Because of this erratic condition,
the data that is collected by the diagnostic can
sometimes incorrectly identify which cylinder is
misfiring. The Misfire Counters graphic shows there
are misfires counted from more than one cylinder.
Cylinder #1 has the majority of counted misfires. In this
case, the Misfire Counters would identify cylinder #1
as the misfiring cylinder. The misfires in the other
counters were just background noise caused by the
erratic rotation of the crankshaft. If the number of
accumulated misfires is sufficient for the diagnostic to
identify a true misfire, the diagnostic will set
DTC P0300 - Misfire Detected. The illustration depicts
an accumulation in the history buffers.

6-1938

Engine Controls - s~7L

If two cylinders in sequential firing order are both


misfiring, the first misfiring cylinder will accumulate
misfires in its buffer but the second misfiring cylinder
will not. This is because the PCM compares a misfiring
cylinder with the cylinder 90 degrees prior to it in the
firing order. Therefore the PCM would be comparing
crankshaft speed of the second misfiring cylinder to an
already suspect cylinder. The PCM however, will be
able to detect both misfiring cylinders after the engine
exceeds 2000 RPM. This is because the PCM then
starts to compare misfires to the opposing cylinder
rather than the previous cylinder in the firing order.
Use Techline equipment to monitor the misfire counter
data on applicable vehicles. Knowing which specific
cylinder(s) misfire can lead to the root cause. Using the
information in the misfire counters, will identify which
cylinder(s) are misfiring. If the counters indicate
cylinders number 1 and 4 misfired, look for a circuit or
component common to both cylinders.
The misfire diagnostic may indicate a fault due to a
temporary fault not necessarily caused by a vehicle
emission system malfunction. Examples include
the following items:
Contaminated fuel
Running out of fuel
Fuel fouled spark plugs
Basic engine fault

Fuel Trim System Operation


The Fuel Trim system monitors the averages of
short-term and long-term fuel trim values. If these fuel
trim values stay at their limits for a calibrated period
of time, a malfunction is indicated. The fuel trim
diagnostic compares the average of short and
long-term fuel trim values. If either value is within the
thresholds, a pass is recorded. If either value is
outside the thresholds, a rich or lean fuel Trim DTC
will set.

Comprehensive Component
Monitor Diagnostic
Comprehensive component monitoring diagnostics are
required to monitor emissions-related input and
output Powertrain components.

Engine
Input Components
The PCM monitors the input components for circuit
continuity and out-of-range values. This includes
performance checking. Performance checking refers to
indicating a fault when the signal from a sensor
does not seem reasonable (i.e. a Throttle Position (TP)
sensor that indicates high throttle position at low
engine loads or MAP voltage). The input components
may include but are not limited to the following
sensors:
The Vehicle Speed (VSS) sensor
The Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor (if
so equipped)
" Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor
Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor
Knock Sensor (KS)
Throttle Position (TP) sensor
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor
Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor
In addition to the circuit continuity and rationality
check, the ECT sensor is monitored for its ability to
achieve a steady state temperature to enable
closed loop fuel control.

Output Components
Diagnose the output components for the proper
response to PCM commands. Components where
functional monitoring is not feasible will be monitored
for circuit continuity and out-of-range values if
applicable.
Output components to be monitored include, but are
not limited to the following circuits:
Idle Air Control (IAC) Motor
EV AP system
Electronic transmission controls
A/C relay
Cooling fan relay
VSS output
MIL control
Cruise control inhibit (if so equipped)

Information Sensors/Switches Description


All of the sensors and the input switches can be
diagnosed through the use of a scan tool. The
following is a short description of how the sensors and
switches can be diagnosed by using a scan tool.
The scan tool can also be used in order to compare
the values for a normal running engine with the engine
being diagnosed.

{3) Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The engine coolant temperature sensor is a thermistor
(a resistor which changes value based on temperature)
mounted in the left cylinder head. Low coolant
temperature produces a high resistance,
100,000 ohms at -38C (-39F), while high
temperature causes low resistance, 70 ohms
at 13DC (266F).
The PCM supplies a 5.0 volt signal to the engine
coolant temperature sensor through a resistor in the
PCM and measures the voltage. The voltage will
be high when the engine is cold. The voltage will be
low when the engine is hot. The PCM calculates
the engine coolant temperature by measuring
the voltage. The engine coolant temperature affects
most systems the PCM controls.
The scan tool displays engine coolant temperature in
degrees. When the engine starts the engine coolant
temperature should rise steadily to about 90C (194F)
then stabilize when the thermostat opens. The
engine coolant temperature and intake air temperature
parameter displays should be close to each other if
the engine has not been run for several hours
(overnight). The following DTCs set when the PCM

The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor measures the


amount of air which passes through it. The PCM uses
this information to determine the operating condition
of the engine in order to control the fuel delivery.
A large quantity of air indicates acceleration. A small
quantity of air indicates deceleration or idle.
The scan tool reads the MAF value and displays it in
grams per second (g/s). The MAF sensor displays
between 6 - 9 g/s at idle on a fully warmed up engine.
The MAF sensor values should change rather
quickly on acceleration, but the MAF sensor values
should remain fairly stable at any given engine speed.
One or more of the following DTCs set when the
PCM detects a malfunction in the MAF sensor circuit:
DTC P0101 Mass Air Flow System Performance.
DTC P0102 MAF Sensor Circuit Low Frequency.

The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is a
thermistor which changes value based on the
temperature of air entering the engine. Low

temperature produces a high resistance,


100,000 ohms at -38C (-39F). A high temperature
causes low resistance, 70 ohms at 130C (266F). The
PCM supplies a 5.0 volt signal to the sensor through
a resistor in the PCM and measures the voltage.
The voltage will be high when the incoming air is cold,
and low when the air is hot. The PCM calculates
the incoming air temperature by measuring the IAT
voltage. The IAT sensor signal is used to adjust spark
timing according to incoming air density.
The scan tool displays the temperature of the air
entering the engine, which should be close to ambient
air temperature when the engine is cold. The
temperature should rise as underhood temperature
increases. The engine coolant temperature and intake
air temperature parameter displays should be close
to each other if the engine has not been run for several
hours (overnight).

The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor (1)


responds to changes in the intake manifold pressure.
The pressure changes as a result of engine load
and speed. The map sensor converts this to a voltage
output.
A closed throttle on engine coast down produces a
relatively low MAP output voltage. A wide open throttle
produces a high MAP output voltage. This high
output voltage is produced because the pressure
inside the manifold is the same as outside the

manifold. The MAP is inversely proportional to what is


measured on a vacuum gauge. The MAP sensor is
used for the following:
Altitude determination.

The Heated Oxygen Sensors are mounted in the


exhaust system where they can monitor the oxygen
content of the exhaust gas stream. The oxygen
present in the exhaust gas reacts with the .sensor to
produce a voltage output. This voltage should
constantly fluctuate from approximately 100 mV (high
oxygen content= lean mixture) to 900 mV (low
oxygen content= rich mixture). The heated oxygen
sensor voltage can be monitored with a scan tool. By
monitoring the voltage output of the oxygen sensor,
the PCM calculates the fuel pulse width command
to give to the injectors (lean mixture/low
H02S voltage = rich command, rich mixture/high
H02S voltage= lean command).

The PCM stores a DTC that indicates degraded H02S
performance if any of the above is detected.

Rear Heated Oxygen Sensors (H02S)

To control emissions of Hydrocarbons (HC), Carbon


Monoxide (CO), and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), a
three-way catalytic converter is used. The catalyst
within the converter promotes a chemical reaction
which oxidizes the HC and CO present in the exhaust
gas, converting them into harmless water vapor
and carbon dioxide. The catalyst also reduces NOx,
converting it to nitrogen. The PCM has the ability
to monitor this process using the Bank 1 H02S 2 and
the Bank 2 H02S 2 heated oxygen sensors. The
front H02S sensors produces an output signal which
indicates the amount of oxygen present in the
exhaust gas entering the three-way catalytic converter.
The rear H02S sensors produces an output signal
which indicates the oxygen storage capacity of
the catalyst; this in turn indicates the catalysts ability
to convert exhaust gases efficiently. If the catalyst
is operating efficiently, the front sensors will produce a
far more active signal than that produced by the
rear sensors.
The catalyst monitor sensors operate the same as the
fuel control sensors. Although the Bank 1 H02S 2
and Bank 2 H02S 2 sensors main function is catalyst
monitoring, they also play a limited role in fuel
control. If a sensor output indicates a voltage either
above or below the 450 millivolt bias voltage for
an extended period of time, the PCM will make a slight
adjustment to fuel trim to ensure that fuel delivery is
correct for catalyst monitoring.
The PCM performs the catalyst diagnostic at idle
when the conditions for running the diagnostic are met.
During the catalyst diagnostic the PCM captures the
current rear H02S rich/lean status. The Air Fuel
ratio transitions from rich to lean or lean to rich
depending on the initial captured rich/lean status. The
Air Fuel ratio transitions a second time opposite the
first Air Fuel ratio transition. During this diagnostic the
scan tool will display H02S voltages going from full
rich to full lean. This condition is normal during
this diagnostic.

13572

The Throttle Position (TP) sensor (2) is a


potentiometer. The TP sensor is connected to the
throttle shaft (3) on the throttle body. The PCM (1)
calculates throttle position by monitoring the voltage on
the signal line. The TP sensor signal changes as the
throttle valve angle is changed (accelerator pedal
moved). The TP sensor signal voltage is low at a closed
throttle position. The TP sensor signal voltage
increases as the throttle valve opens so that at Wide
Open Throttle (WOT), the output voltage should be
above 4.0 volts.
The PCM calculates fuel delivery based on throttle
valve angle (driver demand). A broken or loose
TP sensor may cause intermittent bursts of fuel from
an injector. This may cause an unstable idle
because the PCM detects the throttle is moving.
The following DTCs set when the PCM detects a
malfunction with the TP sensor circuits:
DTC P0121 TP Sensor Circuit Insufficient Activity.
DTC P0122 TP Sensor Circuit Low Voltage.
DTC P0123 TP Sensor Circuit High Voltage.
DTC P1121 TP Sensor CKT Intermittent High

Park/Neutral Position (PNP) Switch


(Automatic Transmission).
The PNP switch indicates to the PCM when the
transmission is in park, neutral, or drive. This
information is used for the EGA and IAC valve
operation. The PNP switch is part of the neutral/start
and backup light switch assembly.

Important: Idle quality will be affected if the vehicle is


driven with the PNP switch disconnected. Having
the switch disconnected may also cause a VSS DTC
to set.

The Fuel Tank Pressure sensor is a sensor much like


the MAP sensor. The Fuel Tank Pressure sensor
measures the difference between the outside
air pressure and the air pressure (or vacuum) in the
fuel tank.
The Fuel Tank Pressure sensor mounts to the fuel
tank sending unit. A three wire electrical harne.ss
connects the sensor to the PCM. The.PCM supplies a
5.0 volt reference voltage and a ground to the
sensor. The sensor will return a voltage between 0.1
and 4.9 volts on the signal circuit.

Knock Sensors (KS)

The PCM uses the fuel level sensor input in order to


determine the amount of fuel in the fuel Jank. The PCM
disables the engine misfire diagnostic when the fuel
level is too low and the EV AP system diagnostic when
the fuel level is either too high or too low. The PCM
also controls the fuel gauge based on the fuel
level input.

13635

A Knock Sensor (KS) system is used in order to


control spark knock. The KS system is designed to
retard spark timing up to 20 degrees in order to reduce
spark knock in the engine. This allows the engine to
use maximum spark advance to improve driveability
and fuel economy.

Engine

Engine Controls - 5.7L

The knock sensor system is used to detect engine


detonation. The knock sensors produce an AC voltage
which is sent to the PCM. The PCM retards the
spark timing based on signals from the KS sensors.
The amount of AC voltage produced by the sensors is
determined by the amount of knock. The PCM then
adjusts the Ignition Control (IC) to reduce the
spark knock.

The VSS produces an AC voltage signal that increases


with vehicle speed. The PCM processes this signal
and sends it to the following components:
Instrument Panel
Radio control head
Chime Module
Cruise Control Module

A/C Request Signal

Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP)

The A/C request circuit signals the PCM when an A/C


mode is selected at the A/C control head. The
PCM uses this information in order to enable the A/C
compressor clutch and to adjust the idle speed
before turning ON the A/C clutch. The PCM disables
the A/C compressor clutch if the A/C request signal
is not available to the PCM.

A/C Refrigerant Pressure Sensor


This signal is used by the PCM in order to control the
cycling of the compressor. It will also enable the
cooling fans when the A/C compressor head pressure
reaches a predetermined value. DTC P0530 sets if
a fault is present in the A/C refrigerant pressure sensor
circuit The PCM disables the A/C compressor
clutch when the PCM sets an A/C system DTC.

The crankshaft position sensor provides the PCM with


crankshaft speed and crankshaft position. The PCM
utilizes this information in order to determine if an
engine misfire is present. The PCM monitors the CKP
sensor for momentarily drop in crankshaft speed in
order to determine if a misfire is occurring. A
DTC P0300 sets when the PCM detects a misfire.
The PCM also monitors the CKP sensor signal circuit
for malfunctions. The PCM sets a DTC P0335 or a
DTC P0336 when the CKP sensor is out of the normal

The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is a pulse counter


type input that informs the PCM how fast the vehicle is
traveling. The VSS system uses an inductive sensor
mounted in the tail housing of the transmission
and a toothed reluctor wheel on the tail shaft. The
teeth of the reluctor wheel alternately interfere with the
magnetic field of the sensor creating an induced
voltage pulse as the reluctor rotates.

The Camshaft Position sensor is mounted through the


top of the engine block at the rear of the valley
cover and works in conjunction with a 1X reluctor
wheel on the camshaft. The reluctor wheel is inside
the engine immediately in front of the rear cam
bearing. The PCM provides a 12 volt power supply to
the CMP sensor as well as a ground and a signal
circuit.
The PCM uses the Camshaft Position sensor in order
to determine whether a cylinder .is on a firing or
exhaust stroke. The reluctor wheel interrupts a
magnetic field produced by a magnet within the CMP
sensor as the camshaft rotates. The CMP sensor's
internal circuitry detects this and produces a
signal which is the PCM reads. The PCM uses this 1X
signal in combination with the Crankshaft Position
sensor 24X signal in order to determine the crankshaft
position and stroke. This diagnostic for the Camshaft
Position sensor checks for a loss of Camshaft Position
sensor signal. The PCM also monitors the CMP
sensor signal circuit for malfunctions. The following
OTCs set when the PCM detects a CMP sensor that is
out of the normal operating range.

In order to improve engine operation, and protect the


A/C compressor and A/C clutch during Wide Open
Throttle (WOT) performance, the A/C compressor
operation is controlled by the PCM.
This A/C system consists of the following components:
The heater and A/C control
The A/C refrigerant pressure sensor
.. The A/C clutch relay
The A/C compressor clutch
The PCM
When the heater and A/C control is placed in the A/C
mode, a request signal is sent to the PCM. The
PCM then energizes the A/C clutch relay, unless
abnormally high or low A/C pressure is detected by the
A/C refrigerant pressure sensor. The PCM also
turns the cooling fans ON when A/C is requested. The
A/C clutch relay is controlled by the PCM so that
the PCM can increase idle speed before turning ON
the A/C compressor clutch or disable .the A/C
compressor clutch during WOT, or high coolant
temperature.
The PCM energizes the A/C clutch whenever the
engine is running less than 3950 RPM and A/C has
been requested. The PCM will not energize the
A/C clutch whenever any of the following conditions
are present:
" Throttle Angle greater than 86 percent.
A/C head pressure greater than 414 psi or less
than O psi (as determined by the A/C refrigerant
pressure sensor). The PCM re-enables the
A/C system when the A/C high side pressure is
less than 249 psi.
Ignition voltage less than 10 volts.
Engine speed greater than 4294 RPM.
.. ECT greater than 125C (257F). The PCM
re-enables the A/C at 121 C (250F).
The scan tool is used in diagnosing the A/C system.

Engine Cooling Fan Description - Electric
The electric cooling fans are used to cool engine
coolant flowing through the radiator. The fans are also
used ro cool the refrigerant flowing through the A/C
condenser.
The electric cooling fans are controlled by the PCM.
The PCM controls the ground path for the three cooling
fan relays. The relays are used to control the high
current flow to power the cooling fan motors. Both fans
operate together. When minimum cooling is required,
the PCM energizes cooling fan relay #1 and both
fans operate at low speed, since the fans are
connected in series through cooling fan relay #3.
Cooling fan relay #2 is open (not energized) and is not
used for low speed operation of the fans. When
maximum cooling is required, the PCM energizes all
three cooling fan relays. The left fan is still powered
through cooling fan relay #1, but is now grounded
through cooling fan relay #3. The right fan is
now powered directly through cooling fan relay #2 and
both fans operated at high speed.
The PCM will also enable the cooling fans after the
ignition is turned off. When the engine coolant
temperature exceeds 113C (235F) and the ignition is
turned off, the cooling fans will be enabled on low
speed for 150 seconds.

Low Speed Cooling Fans


The low speed cooling fans are controlled by the PCM
based on the following inputs:
The A/C system.
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor.
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS).
The PCM will turn the cooling fans on low speed when
any of the following conditions exist at idle:
Certain PCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
are set.
The ECT above 108C (226F).
The A/C high side pressure above 215 psi.
Once the low speed fans are turned ON by Engine
Coolant Temperature, the PCM will turn the fans OFF
when that temperature has dropped about 4C (7F).
If the low speed cooling fans are turned ON by
high A/C head pressure, the PCM will turn the fans
OFF when the pressure has dropped to 190 psi.
The minimum ON time for the low speed cooling fans
is 50 seconds.
The cooling fans are turned OFF at certain vehicle
speeds. Adequate airflow through the A/C condenser
and radiator occurs with vehicle movement to
properly cool the A/C refrigerant and engine coolant
without the assistance of the cooling fans.

High Speed Cooling Fans


The High Speed Cooling Fans are controlled by the
PCM based on the following inputs:
The A/C system.
.. The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor.
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS).

6-1947

The PCM will enable both fans on high speed when


any of the following conditions exist:

Certain PCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes


(DTCs) set.
The ECT above 112C (234F).
.. The A/C high side pressure above 248 psi.
Once the high speed cooling fans are turned ON by
the Engine coolant temperature, the PCM will turn the
fans OFF when that temperature has dropped about
4C (7F). If the high speed cooling fans are turned ON
by high A/C head pressure, the PCM will turn the
fans OFF when the pressure has dropped to 208 psi.
The minimum ON time for the high speed cooling
fans is 30 seconds.

Fuel Supply Component Description


System Overview
The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. An electric fuel
pump, located in the fuel tank with the fuel sender
assembly, pumps fuel through an in-line fuel filter to
the fuel rail assembly. The pump provides fuel at
a pressure greater than is needed by the injectors. The
fuel pressure regulator, part of the fuel sender
assembly, keeps fuel available to the injectors at a
regulated pressure. A separate pipe returns unused
fuel to the fuel tank.

Fuel Tank

376993

The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. The fuel tank is
located in the rear of the vehicle. The fuel tank is held
in place by two metal straps that attach to the frame.
The fuel tank is molded from high density polyethylene.

Fuel Tank Filler Pipe


The fuel tank filler pipe has a built-in restrictor and
deflector in order to prevent refueling with leaded fuel.

Notice: If a fuel tank filler cap requires replacement,


use only a fuel tank filler cap with the same features.
Failure to use the correct fuel tank filler cap can
result in a serious malfunction of the fuel and EVAP
system.
The fuel tank filler pipe has a tethered fuel filler cap.
The cap requires a quarter of a turn to remove it.
A torque-limiting device prevents the cap from being
over tightened. To install the cap, turn the cap
clockwise until you hear three audible clicks. This
indicates that the cap is correctly torqued and
fully seated.

370964

The fuel sender consists of a float (5), a wire float


arm (6), and a fuel level sensor (7). The position of the
float arm indicates the fuel level and a signal is sent
to the display in the vehicle instrument cluster,
The EVAP pipe of the fuel sender has a pressed in
roll-over valve. The roll-over valve prevents fuel
from entering the evaporative emission canister if the
vehicle rolls over by shutting OFF the EVAP pipe
to the canister.

Fuel Pump

Fuel Sender Assembly

The fuel pump is rnounted inside the fuel reservoir on


the fuel sender. The fuel pump is an electric high
pressure gerotor pump. The fuel pump pumps fuel to
the fuel rail assembly at a specified flow and
pressure. Excess fuel returns to the fuel tank by the
return pipe. The fuel pump delivers a constant flow of
fuel to the engine even during low fuel conditions
and aggressive vehicle maneuvers. The PCM controls
the electric fuel pump operation through a fuel
pump relay: The fuel pump flex pipe acts to dampen
the fuel pulses and noise generated by the fuel pump.

Fuel Pressure Regulator Assembly

370964

The fuel sender assembly is inside the fuel tank


attached to the top of the fuel tank. The fuel sender
assembly consists of the following major components:
The fuel level sensor (7).
The fuel tank pressure sensor (1 ).

The fuel pressure regulator attaches to the fuel return


pipe on the fuel sender assembly. The fuel pressure
regulator is a diaphragm operated relief valve. A
software bias compensates the injector on-time
because the fuel pressure regulator is not referenced
to manifold vacuum. The injector pulse width varies
with the signal from the MAP sensor. With the ignition
ON and the engine OFF, system fuel pressure at
the pressure test connection should be
380-410 kPa (55-60 psi). if the pressure is too low,
poor performance could result. If the pressure is
too high, excessive odor and a Diagnostic Trouble
Code (OTC) P0132, P0152, P0172 or P0175
may result. Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis for
information on diagnosing fuel pressure conditions.

Fuel Pump Strainer

The fuel pump strainer attaches to the lower end of


the fuel pump and reservoir assembly. The fuel pump
strainer is made of woven plastic. The functions of
the fuel pump strainer are to filter contaminants and to
wick fuel. The fuel pump strainer is self-cleaning
and normally requires no maintenance. Fuel stoppage
at this point indicates that the fuel tank contains an
abnormal amount of sediment or water. Clean the fuel
tank and replace a plugged fuel pump strainer with
a new one.

The chassis fuel pipes are located under the


vehicle. The chassis fuel feed pipe connects
the rear fuel feed pipe to the engine compartment
connecting fuel feed pipe. The chassis fuel
return pipe connects the fuel feed pipe at the
outlet of the fuel filter to the rear fuel return pipe.
These pipes are constructed of steel.
.. The engine compartment connecting fuel pipe
connects the chassis fuel feed pipe to the
engine fuel rail. This fuel pipe is constructed
of nylon.

to withstand maximum fuel system pressure, exposure
to fuel additives, and changes in temperature. The
fuel filter has a quick-connect inlet fitting and a
threaded outlet fitting. The threaded fitting is sealed
with an 0-ring. There is no service interval for fuel filter
replacement. Replace a restricted fuel filter.

Fuel Feed and Return Pipes


The fuel feed pipe carries fuel from the fuel tank to the
fuel rail assembly. The fuel return pipe carries fuel
from the T-connector located on the outlet side of the
fuel filter back to the fuel tank. The fuel pipes
consist of three sections:
lhe rear fuel pipe assemblies are located from
the top of the fuel tank to the chassis fuel
pipes. The rear fuel pipes are constructed of nylon.

Caution: In order to Reduce the Risk of Fire and


Personal Injury:
s If nylon fuel pipes are nicked, scratched or
damaged during installation, Do Not attempt to
repair the sections of the nylon fuel pipes.
Replace them.
When installing new fuel plpes, Do Not
hammer directly on the fuel harness body clips
as it may damage the nylon pipes resulting
in a possible fuel leak.
Always cover nylon vapor pipes with a wet
towel before using a torch near them. Also,
never expose the vehicle to temperatures
higher than 115C (239F) for more than
one hour, or more than 90C (194F) for any
extended period.
Before connecting fuel pipe fittings, always
apply a few drops of clean engine oil to
the male pipe ends. This will ensure proper
reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak.
(During normal operation, the 0-rings
located in the female connector will swell and
may prevent proper reconnection if not
lubricated.)
Nylon fuel pipes are designed to perform the same job
as the steel or flexible fuel pipes or hoses that they
replace. Nylon pipes are constructed to withstand
maximum fuel system pressure, exposure to
fuel additives, and changes in temperature. There are
three sizes of nylon pipes used: 3/8 in ID for the
fuel feed, 5/16 in ID for the fuel return, and 1/2 in ID
for the vent. Heat resistant rubber hose and/or
corrugated plastic conduit protect the sections of the
pipes that are exposed to chafing, high temperature or
vibration.
Nylon fuel pipes are somewhat flexible and can be
formed around gradual turns under the vehicle.
However, if nylon fuel pipes are forced into sharp
bends, the pipes will kink and restrict the fuel
flow. Also, once exposed to fuel, nylon pipes may
become stiffer and are more likely to kink if bent too
far. Take special care when working on a vehicle with
nylon fuel pipes.

The On-Board Refueling Vapor Recovery


System (ORVR) is an on board vehicle system
designed to recover fuel vapors during the vehicle
refueling operation. The flow of liquid fuel down
the fuel filler pipe provides a liquid seal which prevents
vapor from leaving the fuel filler pipe. An EVAP pipe
transports the fuel vapor to the EVAP canister for
use by the engine. Listed below are the ORVR system
components with a brief description of their operation:
EVAP Canister (1) - the EVAP canister receives
refueling vapor from the fuel system, stores the
vapor and releases the vapor to the engine
upon demand.
EVAP Pipes (2) - transports fuel vapor from the
fuel tank to the EVAP canister.
Fuel Filler Pipe (3) - the pipe which carries fuel
from the fuel nozzle to the fuel tank.
Check Valve (4) - the check valve limits fuel "spit
back" from the fuel tank during the refueling
operation by allowing fuel flow only into the fuel
tank. This check valve is located at the bottom of
the fuel filler pipe.
Modular Fuel Sender Assembly (5) - this
assembly pumps fuel to the engine from
the fuel tank.

The enhanced EVAP service port is located in the


EVAP pipe in the engine compartment near the purge
solenoid. The service port is identified by a green
colored cap. The port contains a schrader valve and a
fitting to allow the connection of the J 41413 EVAP
Pressure/Purge Diagnostic Station for diagnosis of the
evaporative emission system.

Engine
Fill Limiter Vent Valve (FLVV) (6) - this valve
acts as a shut off valve. The FLVV is located
on the top of the fuel tank. This valve is not
serviced separately. The FLVV has the following
functions:

- Controls the fuel tank fill level by closing the


primary vent from the fuel tank.
- Prevents fuel from exiting the fuel tank via
the EV AP pipe to the canister.
. - Provides fuel-spillage protection in the event
of a vehicle rollover by closing the vapor
path from the tank to the EVAP canister.
" Over Pressure ReliefValve (7) - the over
pressure relief valve provides venting of excessive
fuel tank pressure. The valve is located on top
of the fuel tank next to the FLVV. This valve is not
serviced separately.

Fuel Metering Modes of Operation


Modes of Operation
The PCM looks at voltages from several sensors to
determine how much fuel to give the engine. The fuel
is delivered under one of several conditions called
modes. The PCM controls all modes.

Starting Mode

With the ignition switch in the ON position (before


engaging the starter), the PCM energizes the
fuel pump relay for two seconds allowing the fuel
pump to build up pressure. The PCM first checks
speed density, then switches to the Mass Air
Flow (MAF) sensor. The PCM also uses the Engine
Coolant Temperature (ECT), Throttle Position (TP),
and Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensors
to determine the proper air/fuel ratio for starting. This
ranges from 1.5:1 at -36C (-33F) to 14.7:1 at
94C (201 F) running temperature. The PCM controls
the amount of fuel delivered in the starting mode
by changing the pulse width of the injectors. This is
done by pulsing the injectors for very short times.

Clear Flood Mode


If the engine floods, clear the engine by pushing the
accelerator pedal down all the way. The PCM
then pulses the injectors at an air/fuel ratio of 20:1.
The PCM holds this injector rate as long as the throttle
stays wide open and the engine speed is below
300 RPM. If the throttle position becomes less than
80 percent, the PCM returns to the starting mode.

Engine Controls - 5.7L

6-1951

Run Mode
The run mode has two conditions called Open Loop
and Closed Loop. When the engine is first started, and
engine speed is above a predetermined RPM, the
system begins Open Loop operation. The PCM jgnores
the signal from the H02S and calculates the air/fuel
ratio based on input~ from the ECT, MAF, MAP,
and TP sensors. The system stays in Open Loop until
meeting the following conditions:
Both H02S have varying voltage output, showing
that they are hot enough to operate properly.
(This depends on temperature.)
e The ECT sensor is above a specified temperature.
0
A specific amount of time has elapsed after
starting the engine.
Specific values for the above conditions exist for each
different engine, and are stored in the Electrically
Erasable Programmable Read Only
Memory (EEPROM). The system begins Closed Loop
operation after reaching these values. In Closed
Loop, the PCM calculates the air/fuel ratio (injector
on-time) based on the signal from various sensors, but
mainly the H02S. This allows the air/fuel ratio to
stay very close to 14. 7: 1.

Acceleration Mode
When the driver pushes on the accelerator pedal, air
flow into the cylinders increases rapidly, while fuel
flow tends to lag behind. To prevent possible
hesitation, the PCM increases the pulse width to the
injectors to provide extra fuel during acceleration.
The PCM determines the amount of fuel required
based on throttle position, coolant temperature,
manifold air pressure, mass air flow and engine speed.

Deceleration Mode
When the driver releases the accelerator pedal, air
flow into the engine is reduced. The PCM looks at the
corresponding changes in throttle position, manifold
air pressure and mass air flow. The PCM shuts
OFF fuel completely if the deceleration is very rapid,
or for long periods (such as long closed throttle
coast-down). The fuel shuts OFF in order to protect
the warm-up three-way catalytic converters.

Battery Voltage Correction Mode


When battery voltage is low, the PCM compensates
for the weak spark delivered by the ignition system in
the following ways:
Increasing the amount of fuel delivered.
" Increasing the idle RPM.
.. Increasing ignition dwell time.

Fuel Cutoff Mode


To prevent possible engine damage from over-speed,
the PCM cuts off fuel from the injectors when the
engine speed is above approximately 5800 RPM. Also,
see Rapid Deceleration in Deceleration Mode.

Fuel Metering System Component


Description
The fuel metering system consists of the
following parts:
The fuel supply components (fuel tank, pump,
pipes).
The fuel pump electrical circuit.
.. The fuel rail.
The fuel injectors.
" The fuel pressure regulator.
The throttle body.
The Idle Air Control (IAC) valve.
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor.

System Overview
The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. An electric fuel
pump, located in the fuel tank with the fuel sender
assembly, pumps fuel through an in-line fuel filter to
the fuel rail assembly. The pump provides fuel at
a pressure greater than is needed by the injectors. The
fuel pressure regulator, part of the fuel sender
assembly, keeps fuel available to the injectors at a
regulated pressure. A separate pipe returns unused
fuel to the fuel tank.

The top-feed fuel injector assembly is a solenoid


operated device, controlled by the PCM, that me1ers
pressurized fuel to a single engine cylinder. The
PCM energizes the injector solenoid, which opens a
ball valve, allowing fuel to flow past the ball valve, and
through a recessed flow director plate. The direc1or
plate has multiple machined holes that control the fuel
flow, generating a conical spray pattern of finely
atomized fuel at the injector tip. Fuel is directed at the
intake valve, causing it to become further atomized
and vaporized before entering the combustion
chamber. An injector stuck partly open can cause a
loss of pressure after engine shutdown. Consequently,
long cranking times would be noticed on some
engines.

Fuel Pulse Dampener

Fuel Pump Electrical Circuit


When the ignition switch is in the ON position (before
engaging the starter), the PCM energizes the fuel
pump relay for two seconds, causing the fuel pump to
pressurize the fuel system. If the PCM does not
receive ignition reference pulses (engine cranking or
running) within two seconds, it shuts OFF the fuel
pump relay, causing the fuel pump to stop.

Fuel Rail Assembly

fuel metering system.

Engine

Engine Controls - 5.7l

Throttle Body Assembly

216232

The throttle body assembly attaches to the intake


manifold. The throttle body controls air flow into the
engine, thereby controlling engine output. The vehicle
operator opens the throttle valve within the throttle
body through the accelerator controls. During engine
idle, the throttle valves are almost closed. A fixed
air bypass orifice and the Idle Air Control (IAC)
valve (2) handle the air flow control. Engine coolant
flows through the coolant cavity on the bottom of
the throttle body in order to prevent throttle valve icing
during cool weather operation. The throttle body
also provides the location for mounting the Throttle
Position (TP) sensor ( 1).

Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve

6-1953

pintle (3), in, towards the seat (to decrease air flow);
or out, away from the seat (to increase air flow), a
controlled amount of air can be bypassed. If engine
speed is too low, more air is bypassed to increase
RPM. If engine speed is too high, less air is bypassed
to decrease RPM. The PCM moves the IAC valve
in small steps, called counts. These can be measured
and displayed by a scan tool, which plugs into the
Data Link Connector (DLC). The PCM calculates the
proper position of the IAC valve during idle based
on battery voltage, coolant temperature, engine load,
and engine RPM. If the RPM drops below specification
and the throttle valve is closed, the PCM senses a
near stall condition and calculates a new valve position
in order to prevent stalling.
Engine idle speed is a function of total air flow
into the engine. Idle speed is based on IAC
valve pintle position + crankcase ventilation valve
flow + throttle valve opening + bypass orifice
air flow + calibrated vacuum loss through
accessories.
Controlled idle speed is programmed into the
PCM, which determines the correct IAC valve
pintle position to maintain the desired idle speed
tor all engine operating conditions and loads.
The minimum idle air rate is set at the factory with
a stop screw. This setting allows enough air flow
by the throttle valves to cause the IAC valve
pintle to be positioned a calibrated number
of steps (counts), from the seat, during controlled
idle operation.
If the IAC valve is disconnected and reconnected
with the engine running, the idle speed may be
wrong. If this occurs, reset the IAC valve by
depressing the accelerator pedal slightly, start and
run the engine tor five seconds, then turn the
ignition OFF for ten seconds.

Throttle Position (TP) Sensor


The TP sensor attaches to the side of the throttle
body opposite the throttle lever. It senses the throttle
valve angle and relays that information to the
PCM. The PCM requires knowledge of throttle angle
to generate the required injector control signals
(pulses).

The purpose of the IAC valve is to control engine idle


speed, while preventing stalls due to changes in
engine load. The IAC valve (1 ), mounted in the throttle
body, controls the bypass air around the throttle
valve (2). By moving a conical valve known as a

The short term fuel trim (FT) is a PCM erasable


memory register. The neutral value tor the short term
FT is O percent. Any deviation from O percent
indicates the short term FT is changing the injector
pulse width. The amount of pulse width change
depends on how far the short term fuel trim value is
from O percent. The short term FT is rich when
the scan tool indicates a negative number. The short
FT is lean when the scan tool indicates a number
greater than 0. The short term FT changes the injector
pulse width by adding to or subtracting from the
base pulse width equation. As the PCM monitors the
oxygen sensors input, it is constantly varying the
short term FT value. The value is updated very quickly,
therefore the short term FT only corrects for short
term mixture trends. The correction of long term
mixture trends is the function of long term FT.

When the PCM determines that the short term FT is


out of the operating range, 1 of the following DTCs
will set:
DTC P0171 FT System Lean Bank 1
DTC P0172 FT System Rich Bank 1
DTC P0174 FT System Lea.n Bank 2
DTC P0175 FT System Rich Bank 2

Long Term Fuel Trim Description


The long term fuel trim (FT) is a matrix of cells
arranged by RPM and MAP. Each cell of the long
term FT is a register like the short term FT. As
the engine operating conditions change, the PCM will
switch from cell to cell to determine what long term
FT factor to use in the base pulse width equation.
While in any given cell, the PCM also monitors
the short term FT. If the short term FT is far enough
from O percent, the PCM will change the long term FT
value. Once the long term FT value is changed, it
should force the short term FT back toward O percent.
If the mixture is still not correct (as judged by the
PCM), the short term FT will continue to have a large
deviation from the ideal O percent In this case, the
long term FT value will continue to change until
the short term FT becomes balanced. Both the short
term FT and long term FT have limits which vary
by calibration. If the mixture is off enough so that long
term FT reaches the limit of its control and still
cannot correct the condition, the short term FT would
also go to its limit of control in the same direction.
If the mixture is still not corrected by both short term
FT and long term FT at their extreme values, a
FT DTC will likely result. When the PCM determines
that the long term FT is out of the operating range, the
following DTCs will set:
DTC P0171 FT System Lean Bank 1
DTC P0172 FT System Rich Bank 1
DTC P0174 FT System Lean Bank 2
DTC P0175 FT System Rich Bank 2
Under the conditions of power enrichment, the PCM
sets the short term FT to O percent and freezes it there
until power enrichment is no longer in effect. This is
done so the Closed Loop factor and the long term FT
will not try to correct for the commanded richness
of power enrichment.

works in conjunction with the MAP sensor to determine


air density. As the intake manifold pressure increases,
the air density in the intake manifold also increases
and additional fuel is required. This information
from the IAT and MAP sensors is used by the PCM to
control injector pulse width.

Electronic Ignition (El) System Description


Ignition System Overview
The electronic ignition system controls fuel combustion
by providing a spark to ignite the compressed
air/fuel mixture at the correct time. To provide optimum
engine performance, fuel economy, and control of
exhaust emissions, the PCM controls the spark
advance of the ignition system. The Electronic ignition
system has the following advantages over a
mechanical distributor system:
No moving parts.
Less maintenance.
Remote mounting capability.
" No mechanical load on the engine.
More coil cool down time between firing events.
Elimination of mechanical timing adjustments.
Increased available ignition coil saturation time.

The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is located in the


right rear of the engine, behind the starter. The CKP
sensor is a dual magneto resistive type sensor.
This sensor is not speed dependent. The dual micro
switches monitor both notches of the reluctor wheel for
greater accuracy. The CKP sensor works in
conjunction with a 24X reluctor wheel. The reluctor
wheel is mounted on the rear of the crankshaft.
The 24X reluctor wheel uses two different width
notches that are 15 degrees apart. This Pulse Width
Encoded pattern allows cylinder position identification
within 90 degrees of crankshaft rotation. In some
cases, cylinder identification can be located in
45 degrees of crankshaft rotation. This reluctor wheel
also has dual track notches that are 180 degrees
out of phase. The dual track design allows for quicker
starts and accuracy.

Observe that as long as the PCM receives the
Crankshaft Position sensor 24X signal, the engine will

1X signal is used by the PCM to determine if
the cylinder at top dead center is on the firing stroke,
or the exhaust stroke. The system attempts
synchronizatio11 and looks for an increase in engine
speed indicating the engine started. If the PCM
does. not detect an increase in engine speed, the PCM

The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is mounted


through the top of the engine block at the rear of the
valley cover. The CMP sensor works in conjunction
with a 1X reluctor wheel on the camshaft. The
CMP sensor is used to determine whether a cylinder
is on the firing or the exhaust stroke. As the
camshaft rotates, the reluctor wheel interrupts a
magnetic field produced by a magnet within the
sensor. The CMP sensor internal circuitry detect.s this
and produces a signal which is used by the PCM.
The PCM uses this signal in combination with the CKP
24X signal to determine crankshaft position and
stroke.

The ignition system on this vehicle features a multiple


coil ignition and is known as coil near plug. The
secondary ignition wires are short compared with a
distributor ignition system wire. Eight ignition
coils/modules are individually mounted above each
cylinder on the rocker covers. The coils/modules
are fired sequentially. There is an Ignition Control (IC)
circuit for each ignition coil/module. The eight ignition
control circuits are connected to the PCM. All
ignition timing decisions are made by the PCM, which
triggers each coil/module individually. The ignition

Each coil/module is serviced separately.
This system puts out very high ignition energy for plug
firing. The ignition wires are shorter so less energy
is lost to ignition wire resistance. Also, since the firing
is sequential, each coil has seven ignition events to
saturate as opposed to the three in a waste spark
arrangement. Futhermore, no energy is lost to
the resistance of a waste spark system.

There are important considerations to point out whe'n


servicing the ignition system. The following
Noteworthy Information will list some of these to help
the technician in servicing the ignition system.
The ignition coils secondary voltage output
capabilities are very high - more than 40,000 volts.
Avoid body contact with secondary high voltage
ignition components when the engine is running,
or personal injury may result!
The 24X crankshaft position sensor is the most
critical part of the ignition system. If the sensor
is damaged so that pulses are not generated, the
engine will not start!
.. Crankshaft position sensor clearance is very
important! The sensor must not contact the
rotating interrupter ring at any time, or sensor
damage will result. If the interrupter ring is bent,
the interrupter ring blades will destroy the s.ensor.
Ignition timing is not adjustable. There are
no timing marks on the crankshaft balancer or
timing chain cover.
Be careful not to damage the secondary ignition
wires or boots when servicing the ignition
system. Rotate each boot to dislodge it from the
plug or coil tower before pulling it from either
a spark plug or the ignition coil. Never pierce a
secondary ignition wire or boot for any testing
purposes! Future problems are guaranteed
if pinpoints or test lights are pushed through the
insulation for testing.

Circuits Affecting Ignition Control

Powertrain Control Module (PCM)

To properly control ignition timing, the PCM relies on


the following information:
Engine load (manifold pressure or vacuum)
Atmospheric (barometric) pressure
Engine temperature
Intake air temperature
Crankshaft position
Engine speed (RPM)
The Ignition Control (IC) system consists of the
following components:
Ignition coil/modules
24X crankshaft position sensor
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
All connecting wires
The Ignition Control utilizes the following to control
spark timing functions:
24X signal - The 24X crankshaft position sensor
sends a signal to the PCM. The PCM uses this
signal to determine crankshaft position. The PCM
also utilizes this signal to trigger the fuel
injectors.
Ignition Control (IC) circuits - The PCM uses these
circuits to trigger the ignition coil/modules. The
PCM uses the crankshaft reference signal
to calculate the amount of spark advance needed.

The PCM is responsible for maintaining proper spark


and fuel injection timing for all driving conditions.
To provide optimum driveability and emissions, the
PCM monitors input signals from the following
components to calculate Ignition Control (IC) spark
timing:
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
.. The Knock Sensor
The Trans Range inputs from Transaxle Range
switch
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)

Results of Incorrect Operation


An Ignition control circuit that is open, grounded, or
shorted to voltage will set an ignition control circuit
OTC. If a fault occurs in the IC output circuit when the
engine is running, the engine will experience a
misfire. OTCs P0351-P0358 will set when a
malfunction is detected with an Ignition Control circuit.
When an Ignition control OTC sets, the PCM
disables the injector for the appropriate cylinder.

Engine

Engine Controls - 5.7l

The PCM uses information from the engine coolant


temperature sensor in addition to RPM to calculate
spark advance values as follows:
High RPM = more advance
Cold engine = more advance
Low RPM = less advance
Hot engine = less advance
Therefore, detonation could be caused by high
resistance in the engine coolant temperature sensor
circuit. Poor performance could be caused by low
resistance in the engine coolant temperature sensor
circuit.

If the engine cranks but will not run or immediately


stalls, the Engine Cranks But Will Not Run diagnostic
table must be used to determine if the failure is in
the ignition system or the fuel system. If DTC P0300,
P0341, P0342, P0343, P0335, P0336 is set, the
appropriate diagnostic trouble code table must be used
for diagnosis.

6-1961

To control spark knock, a Knock Sensor (KS) system


is used. This system is designed to retard spark
timing up to 20 degrees to reduce spark knock in the
engine. This allows the engine to use maximum
spark advance to improve driveability and fuel
economy.
The knock sensor system is used to detect engine
detonation. The knock sensor(s) produce an AC
voltage which is sent to the PCM. The PCM will retard
the spark timing based on signals from the KS
sensors. The amount of AC voltage produced by the
sensors is determined by the amount of knock.
The PCM then adjusts the Ignition Control (IC) to
reduce the spark knock.

Varying octane levels in gasoline can cause detonation


in some engines. Detonation is sometimes called
spark knock. Detonation is caused by an uncontrolled
explosion (burn) in the combustion chamber. This
uncontrolled explosion could produce a flame
front opposite that of the normal flame front produced
by the spark plug. The rattling sound normally
associated with detonation is the result of two or more
opposing pressures (flame fronts) colliding within
the combustion chamber. Though light detonation is ,
sometimes considered normal, heavy detonation could
result in engine damage.

The scan tool has several positions for diagnosing the


KS circuit.
Knock Retard indicates the amount of spark the
PCM is removing from the IC spark advance in
response to the signal from the knock sensors.
Spark indicates the amount of spark advance
being commanded by the PCM on the IC circuit.
DTC P0325 indicates an internal PCM malfunction
related to the KS system. DTCs P0327 and
P0332 indicates that a Knock sensor or Knock sensor
circuit is malfunctioning. If these DTCs are set,
Refer to applicable DTC table.

Secondary AIR Injection System


Description
The Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system helps
reduce Hydrocarbon (HC), Carbon Monoxide (CO),
and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) exhaust emissions.
It also heats up the 3-way catalytic converters quickly
on engine start-up so conversion of exhaust gases
can occur sooner.

Engine
AIR System (Typical)

AIR Solenoid Valve - The AIR Solenoid Valve is


located at the left rear of the intake manifold.
The AIR Solenoid Valve is controlled by the PCM.
The AIR Solenoid Valve controls the engine
vacuum to the AIR Shut Off Valve. The PCM
provides a ground circuit for the AIR Solenoid
Valve, which allows engine vacuum to be applied
to the AIR Shut Off Valve.
AIR Shut Off Valve - The AIR Shut Off Valve is
mounted to the rear of the left cylinder head.
The AIR Shut Off Valve controls the air flow from
the AIR pump to the check valves. The PCM
enables the AIR Solenoid Valve, which applies
engine vacuum to the AIR Shut Off Valve.
The applied engine vacuum opens the AIR Shut
Off Valve and allows air supplied by the AIR Pump
to flow to the check valves.

The system includes the following:


AIR pump - The AIR pump is mounted to the
lower left front of the engine Compartment
and supplies the air to the AIR system. The
electric air pump pressurizes fresh air and pumps
it to the AIR Shut Off Valve. The AIR pump is
controlled by the PCM. Battery voltage to the AIR
pump is controlled by the AIR pump relay.
When the PCM provides a ground circuit for the
secondary AIR pump relay, battery voltage is
allowed to power up the AIR pump.

The AIR pump (7) is controlled by the PCM. The PCM


will turn ON the AIR pump by providing the ground
to complete the circuit which energizes the AIR pump
relay. When air to the exhaust ports is desired, the
PCM will turn ON the AIR Solenoid valve and then the
AIR pump.
The PCM turns ON the AIR pump during startup any
time engine coolant temperature is above -10c
(14F). The AIR pump operates for a maximum of
240 seconds, or until the system enters Closed Loop
operation. At the same time the PCM turns the
AIR pump OFF, it also de-energizes the AIR Solenoid .
Valve so no vacuum is applied to the AIR Shut Off
Valve (5).

Check valves - The check valves prev3nt back


flow of exhaust gases into the AIR system in
the event of an exhaust backfire.
Necessary plumbing.
- Hoses
- Pipes
- Clamps

The AIR system will be disabled under the following
conditions:
When the PCM recognizes a condition and sets a
diagnostic trouble code ..
When the fuel system is operating in Closed Loop.

The AIR pump is a regenerative turbine type which is


permanently lubricated and requires no periodic
main1enance.
The engine should be at normal operating temperature
in neutral at idle. Using the scan tool enable the AIR
pump system. Select H02S voltages tor both
Bank 1 and Bank 2 H02S. The H02S voltages for
both sensors should remain under 350 mV because air
is being directed to the exhaust ports. It the H02S
voltages remain low during the Output Test, the AIR
pump and integral stop valve are operating
satis1actorily. If the H02S voltage does not remain low
when the AIR pump is enabled, inspect for the
following:
" For voltage at the Air Pump when it is energized.
For a seized AIR pump.
a Hoses, pipes and all connections tor leaks and
proper routing.
For air flow going to the exhaust ports.

Purpose
An Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system is used
in order to lower Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) emission
levels. The EGR system accomplishes this by feeding
small amounts of exhaust gas back into the
combustion chamber. High combustion temperatures
cause NOx. Combustion temperatures are reduced
when the air/fuel mixture is diluted with the
exhaust gases,.

The EGR valve is designed to accurately supply


exhaust gases to the engine without the use of intake
manifold vacuum. The EGR valve controls the
exhaust flow into the intake manifold from the exhaust
manifold through an orifice with a PCM controlled
pintle. The PCM controls the pinUe position using
inputs from the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
sensor, the Throttle Position (TP) sensor, and
the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor. The
PCM commands the EGR valve in order to supply the
correct amount of exhaust gas recirculation for the
current engine operating conditions. This can be
monitored on a scan tool as the Desired EGR Position.
The PCM monitors the position of the EGR valve
through a feedback signal. The PCM supplies
a 5.0 volt reference and a ground to the EGR valve. A
voltage signal representing the EGR valve pintle
position is sent to the PCM from the EGR valve. This
feedback signal can also be monitored on a scan
tool and is the actual position of the EGR pintle. The
Actual EGR Position should always be near the
commanded or Desired EGR Position.
The EGR valve is usually activated under the following
conditions:
The engine is warm.
The engine is above the idle speed.

The engine stalls during closed throttle conditions.
The vehicle surges during a cruise condition.
A rough idle.
A DTC P0300 (misfire detected).
Too little or no EGR flow allows the combustion
temperatures to increase. This causes the following
symptoms:
Spark knock (detonation)
Engine overheating

Crankcase Ventilation System Description

6~1965

Crankcase Ventilation System Routing

A closed crankcase.ventilation system is used to


provide a more complete scavenging of crankcase
vapors. Fresh air from the throttle body is supplied to
the crankcase, mixed with blow-by gases and
then passed through a crankcase ventilation valve into
the intake manifold.
The primary control is through the crankcase
ventilation valve which meters the flow at a rate
depending on manifold vacuum. To maintain idle
quality, the crankcase ventilation valve restricts the
flow when intake manifold vacuum is high. If abnormal
operating conditions arise, the system. is designed
to allow excessive amounts of blow-by gases to back
flow through the crankcase vent tube into the
engine air inlet to be consumed by normal combustion.
The engine ventilation system was developed to
minimize oil consumption and ensure that oil ingestion
could not occur .during vehicle limit handling
maneuverers. Filtered fresh air is routed from up
stream of the throttle blade to the front of the right
rocker cover via a formed rubber hose. To reduce the
potential of oil pullover into the throttle bore area
due to back flow of the ventilation system, the fitting in
the right side rocker cover is located between a
shield from the rocker arms. Blowby gases are routed.
from the rear of both rocker covers, through molded
nylon lines to tee fitting located on the centerline of
the engine at the rear of the intake manifold. From:
there, a single nylon line carries the foul air gases
through an externally mounted, horizontal PCV valve
and enters the intake manifold behind the
throttle body.

The dual draw system was develop to meet the limited


handling maneuver requirements. During sustained
maximum lateral accelerations, the outboard
rocker cover may fill with oil. The dual draw system
passively switches, allowing the PCV valve to draw on
the rocker cover with the least resistance. This
results in the system drawing on the air filled, or
inboard rocker cover and eliminates oil pullover due to
drawing on the oil-filled outboard rocker cover.

Description and Operation


Exhaust System Description

Muffler Description

The exhaust system design will vary according to the


model of vehicle. The exhaust system uses a
flange and seal joint coupling to secure the exhaust
pipe to the engine exhaust manifolds. The exhaust
system is suspended by hangers that are attached to
the underbody. The hangers allow some movement
of the exhaust system.

The muffler controls the exhaust noise level. The


exhaust muffler is a tri-flow design.
3.8L vehicles not equipped with RPOs Y87 and
W68 use a single outlet muffler.
3.8L vehicles equipped with PROs Y87 and W68
use a dual outlet muffler.
5.7L vehicles equipped with RPOs VP6, WS6 and
WU8 use a single outlet muffler.
5. 7L vehicles equipped without RPOs VP6, WS6
and WU8 use a dual outlet muffler.
The muffler used on this vehicle must be serviced with
the exhaust pipe they can not be serviced separately.

Notice: Replacement of exhaust system parts must


be OEM standard to ensure that the vehicle operates
as designed.

Catalytic Converter Description


Caution: Prolonged operation of a misfiring or
flooded engine may cause the catalytic converter
to overheat. Damage to the catalyst, the operating
vehicle, or personal injury may result.
Notice: When jacking or lifting the vehicle from the
frame side rails, be certain that the lift pads do
not contact the catalytic converter. This may damage
the converter.
Notice: The catalytic converters require the use of
unleaded fuel only. Using leaded fuel will damage the
catalytic converters and other emission system
components.
The catalytic converter is an emission control devise.
The catalytic converter is added to the exhaust
system on unleaded fuel vehicles to reduce pollutants
from the exhaust gas stream. The catalyst in the
monolith converter in not serviceable.
The three-way catalytic converter burns three types of
exhaust gases:
Carbon monoxide (CO)
.. Hydrocarbons (HC)
Oxides of nitrogen (NOx)
The oxidation catalytic converter burns the same
gases, but uses an air pump/smog pump to force
added oxygen into the catalytic converter. The
additional oxygen forces the converter to run hotter
and to burn exhaust gases more effectively.
A single bed ceramic monolith style brick catalytic
converter is used in combination with two types
of catalyst
" Oxidation catalyst
Three-way (reduction/oxidation) catalyst
The catalysts have coatings that contain platinum and
palladium. These coatings burn the unwanted
exhaust emissions.

Hangers Description
Important: The installation of the exhaust system
hangers is very important, as improperly installed
hangers can cause annoying vibrations that can be
difficult to diagnose.
The type of hanger used to support the exhaust
system on this vehicle is a conventional rubber block.
The rubber block is a rigid hanger with a feature
that supports the exhaust system in case a rubber
block is broken. The rubber mounts allow some
exhaust system movement, but not the transfer of
noise or vibration into the passenger compartment.

Clamps Description
Caution: Exhaust may enter the vehicle and cause
personal injury if the slip joints are not coated
with exhaust system sealer before assembly.
Important: Apply sealer GM P/N 9985020 or
equivalent to the slip joint connection.
When installing a new exhaust component on any
model, check for proper alignment. Rattles and noise
vibrations in the exhaust system are usually caused
by the misalignment of parts. When installing the
components, leave all bolts and nuts loose until all
parts are properly aligned.
The clamp used to connect the catalytic converter to
the exhaust muffler is a single nut compression clamp.
