Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit/System Description

The camshaft position actuator system enables the Engine Control Module (ECM) to change the timing of the camshafts while the engine is operating. The Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve signal from the ECM is pulse width modulated (PWM). The ECM controls the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve duty cycle by controlling the amount of solenoid valve On time. The Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve controls the advance or the retard of each camshaft. The Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve controls the oil flow that applies the pressure to advance or retard the camshafts.

The ECM controls the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve by suppling a 12 V pulse width modulated (PWM) signal. The ECM supplies a ground to the low reference circuit.

Diagnostic Fault Information

Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit/System Description

The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system enables the engine control module (ECM) to change the timing of the camshafts while the engine is operating. The camshaft position actuator solenoid valves are operated hydraulically in order to change the angle of the camshaft relative to crankshaft position. The camshaft position actuator solenoid valves are controlled by the engine control module (ECM). The ECM sends a pulse width modulated signal to the camshaft position actuator solenoid valves. The camshaft position actuator solenoid valves control the amount of engine oil flow that applies the pressure to advance or retard the camshafts.

Conditions for Running the DTC

  • DTC P0010, P0013, P0016, P0017, P0335, P0340, P0341, P0365, or P0366 is not set.
  • The engine is running.
  • The ignition voltage is between 11-32 V.
  • The camshaft position actuator is enabled.
  • The rate of change in the camshaft position is less than 3º for 4 s.
  • DTCs P0011 and P0014 runs continuously once the above conditions are met for greater than 0.1 s.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects a difference between the camshaft position angle and the desired camshaft position angle is greater than 6 to 10º based on engine coolant temperature and engine speed.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P0011 and P0014 are Type B DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0011 and P0014 are Type B DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

  • The engine oil condition has a major impact on the camshaft actuator system.
  • A low oil level condition may set this DTC. The engine may require an oil change. Inquire with the customer when the last oil change was performed. You may also monitor the scan tool Engine Oil Life Remaining parameter. Advise the customer an oil change may be required.
  • Inspect the engine for any recent engine mechanical repairs. An incorrectly installed camshaft, camshaft actuator, or timing belt can cause this DTC to set.
  • A resistance greater than 8 ohms on the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve control circuit may set this DTC. If you suspect high resistance, ground the control circuit while the engine is idling. The scan tool Intake or Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status should display Malfunction. If the parameter displays OK, test the control circuit for high resistance.

HO2S Sensor 1 Current/HO2S Sensor 2 Current

Circuit/System Description

Heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel control and post-catalyst monitoring. Each HO2S compares the oxygen content of the surrounding air with the oxygen content in the exhaust stream. Each HO2S must reach operating temperature to provide an accurate voltage signal. A heating element inside each of the HO2S minimizes the time required for the sensor to reach operating temperature. Voltage is provided to the heater by an ignition voltage circuit through a fuse. With the engine running, ground is provided to the heater by the HO2S heater low control circuit, through a low side driver within the engine control module (ECM). The ECM uses pulse-width modulation (PWM) to control the HO2S heater operation to maintain a specific HO2S operating temperature range.

Conditions for Running the DTC

P0030, P0031, P0032, P0036, P0037 and P0038

  • The system voltage is between 11-32 V.
  • The engine speed is greater than 400 RPM.
  • The DTCs run continuously when the above conditions are met for greater than 5 s.

  • The system voltage is less than 32 V.
  • The ignition is OFF for greater than 8 h.
  • The engine is running.
  • The ECT is between -30 to +45ºC (-22 to +113ºF).
  • The engine coolant temperature (ECT) and the intake air temperature (IAT) are within 8ºC (14ºF).
  • The DTCs run once per valid cold start-up when the above conditions are met

P0135 and P0141

  • DTCs P0116, P0117, P0118, P0119 or P0128 are not set.
  • The system voltage is between 10-32 V.
  • The HO2S heaters are at operating temperature.
  • The scan tool HO2S Heater device control is not active.
  • The commanded HO2S heater duty cycle is greater than 0%.
  • The DTCs run twice per drive cycle when the above conditions are met for greater than 30 s.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0030, P0031, P0032, P0036, P0037 and P0038

The ECM detects that the commanded state of the driver and the actual state of the control circuit do not match for greater than 5 s.

P0053 and P0054

The ECM detects the HO2S heater is not within 7.5-13 ohms at engine start-up.

P0135 and P0141

The ECM detects the HO2S heater current is less than 0.30 A or greater than 2.5 A for greater than 8 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P0030, P0031, P0032, P0036, P0037, P0038, P0053, P0054, P0135, and P0141 are Type B DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

  • If the condition is intermittent, move the related harnesses and connectors, with the engine operating, while monitoring the scan tool circuit status parameters for the component. The circuit status parameters will change from OK or Not Run to Malfunction if there is a condition with the circuit or a connection.
  • An open fuse in the HO2S heater circuit may be caused by the heater element in one of the sensors. The condition may not be present until the sensor operates for a period of time. If no fault is present in the heater circuit, monitor the amperage of each heater with a scan tool to determine if one of the heater elements is the cause of the open fuse. Inspect the sensor pigtail or the harness for contacting the exhaust system.

Diagnostic Fault Information

Diagnostic Fault Information

Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit/System Description

The turbocharger incorporates a wastegate that is controlled by a pressure differential, that is determined by the engine control module (ECM) by means of a PWM solenoid valve, in order to regulate the pressure ratio of the turbocharger. A turbocharger bypass valve also controlled by the ECM by utilizing a remotely mounted solenoid valve is integrated into the bypass valve to prevent turbocharger surging and damage from vibrations by opening during abrupt closed throttle conditions. When the valve is open during closed throttle deceleration conditions, the bypass valve allows the air to recirculate in the turbocharger and maintain turbocharger speed.

Within a calibrated range during the closed throttle event, or upon a wide open throttle command the valve will then close to optimize turbo response. The bypass solenoid valve has the following circuits:

  • Ignition voltage
  • Turbocharger bypass solenoid valve control

As engine load and engine speed increases, the turbocharger bypass solenoid valve remains commanded ON by the ECM. As soon as the throttle closes the turbocharger bypass solenoid valve is commanded OFF by the ECM, in order to allow the turbocharger bypass valve to open and allow the turbocharger air to recirculate, there by preventing turbocharger surging.

Conditions for Running the DTC

  • The engine is not cranking.
  • The powertrain relay voltage is greater than 11 V.
  • The run/crank voltage is greater than 6 V.
  • The DTC run continuously when the above conditions are met.

MAF Sensor

Typical Scan Tool Data

Circuit Description

The sensors listed below are integrated within the multifunction intake air sensor:

  • Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor 1
  • IAT sensor 2
  • Humidity sensor
  • Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
  • Barometric (BARO) pressure sensor

The MAF sensor is an air flow meter that measures the amount of air flowing in the sensor bore. The engine control module (ECM) uses the MAF sensor signal to provide the correct fuel delivery for all engine speeds and loads. A small quantity of air entering the engine indicates a deceleration or idle condition. A large quantity of air entering the engine indicates an acceleration or high load condition.

The ECM applies 5 V to the MAF sensor signal circuit. The sensor produces a variable frequency signal based on the inlet air flow through the sensor bore. The signal varies with engine load and is displayed by the scan tool as Hertz (Hz) and grams per second (g/s). Vehicle ignition voltage and ground circuits are also supplied to the MAF sensor.

The intake flow rationality diagnostic provides the within-range rationality check for the mass air flow (MAF), manifold absolute pressure (MAP), and the throttle position sensors. This is an explicit model-based diagnostic containing 4 separate models for the intake system.

The estimates of MAF and MAP obtained from this system of models and calculations are then compared to the actual measured values from the MAF, MAP, and the throttle position sensors and to each other to determine the appropriate DTC to fail.

The sensors listed below share an ECM supplied 5 V reference circuit:

  • IAT sensor 2
  • Humidity sensor
  • Barometric pressure (BARO) sensor

The sensors listed below share an ECM supplied low reference circuit:

  • IAT sensor 1
  • IAT sensor 2
  • Humidity sensor
  • Barometric pressure (BARO) sensor

Circuit Description

The sensors listed below are integrated within the multifunction intake air sensor:

  • Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor 1
  • IAT sensor 2
  • Humidity sensor
  • Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
  • Barometric (BARO) pressure sensor

The MAF sensor is an air flow meter that measures the amount of air flowing in the sensor bore. The engine control module (ECM) uses the MAF sensor signal to provide the correct fuel delivery for all engine speeds and loads. A small quantity of air entering the engine indicates a deceleration or idle condition. A large quantity of air entering the engine indicates an acceleration or high load condition.

The ECM applies 5 V to the MAF sensor signal circuit. The sensor produces a variable frequency signal based on the inlet air flow through the sensor bore. The signal varies with engine load and is displayed by the scan tool as Hertz (Hz) and grams per second (g/s). Vehicle ignition voltage and ground circuits are also supplied to the MAF sensor.

The sensors listed below share an ECM supplied 5 V reference circuit:

  • IAT sensor 2
  • Humidity sensor
  • Barometric pressure (BARO) sensor

Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor Performance

Diagnostic Fault Information

Diagnostic Fault Information

Typical Scan Tool Data

MAP Sensor

MAP Sensor

MAP Sensor, if equipped with Turbocharger

MAP Sensor, if equipped with Turbocharger

MAP Sensor, if equipped with Turbocharger

Circuit Description

The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor measures the pressure inside the intake manifold. Pressure in the intake manifold is affected by engine speed, throttle opening, air temperature, barometric pressure (BARO); and if equipped turbocharger output. A diaphragm within the MAP sensor is displaced by the pressure changes that occur from the varying load and operating conditions of the engine. The sensor translates this action into electrical resistance.

The MAP sensor wiring includes 3 circuits. The engine control module (ECM) supplies a regulated 5 volts to the sensor on a 5 V reference circuit. The ECM supplies a ground on a low reference circuit. The MAP sensor provides a signal voltage to the ECM, relative to the pressure changes, on the MAP sensor signal circuit. The ECM converts the signal voltage input to a pressure value.

Under normal operation the greatest pressure that can exist in the intake manifold is at ignition ON, engine OFF, which is equal to the BARO. If equipped, a turbocharger can increase the pressure above BARO, when the vehicle is operated at wide-open throttle (WOT). The lowest manifold pressure occurs when the vehicle is idling or decelerating. The ECM monitors the MAP sensor signal for pressure outside of the normal range.

  • The engine speed is between 400-6500 RPM.
  • The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is between -7 to +125ºC (19.4 and 257ºF).
  • The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is between -20 to +125ºC (-4 and +257ºF).
  • This DTC runs continuously when the above conditions are met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects that the MAP Sensor pressure is not within range of the calculated pressure that is derived from a system of models for more than 0.5 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P0106 is a Type B DTC.

DTC P0116

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor Performance

Diagnostic Fault Information

Diagnostic Fault Information

Typical Scan Tool Data

ECT Sensor

ECT Sensor

Circuit/System Description

The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the engine coolant. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 V to the ECT sensor signal circuit and a ground for the low reference circuit.

The purpose of this diagnostic is to determine if the input from the ECT sensor is skewed warmer than normal.

The internal clock of the ECM will record the amount of time the engine is OFF. If the required engine OFF time is met at start-up, the ECM will compare the temperature difference between the actual measured ECT and a calibrated ECT model. The information for this model is derived from the previous drive cycle and includes the accumulated mass air flow (MAF), the engine run time, the ambient air temperature and the ECT at the end of the drive cycle.

If the ECM detects that the temperature difference between the measured and modeled ECT is not within an acceptable operating range of each other, then the ECM will continue to run this diagnostic to determine if a block heater was active during the engine OFF time.

Conditions for Running the DTC

  • The ignition is ON, or the engine is running.
  • DTCs P0111, P0112, P0113, P0117, P0118, P0722, P0723 or P2610 are not set.
  • The ignition has been off for greater than 8 h before the engine is started.
  • This DTC runs continuously within the enabling conditions.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0116 Engine Running, Sensor Signal Stuck Test

  • The ECM detects that the ECT sensor signal has abruptly changed a minimum of 20ºC (68ºF) warmer than intake air temperature (IAT) at engine start.
  • The measured ECT is greater than measured IAT at engine start, is not within range of the calibrated model.

P0116 Engine Running, Sensor Within Range Test

  • The ECT at engine start is not within range of the calibrated model.
  • The ECT is greater than measured IAT at engine start, is not within range of the calibrated model.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

  • DTC P0116 is a Type B DTC.
  • The cooling fans will be commanded ON.
  • The A/C compressor will be commanded OFF.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P0116 is a Type B DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

  • Inspect the ECT sensor terminals for corrosion and for engine coolant leaking through the sensor. Engine coolant that is leaking through the sensor will create a high resistance short to ground. This condition results in less voltage on the ECT sensor signal circuit, which is interpreted by the ECM as a warmer ECT.
  • An intake air temperature (IAT) sensor that is biased colder at various ambient temperatures due to greater resistance than is normal will increase the range between these 2 sensors. Measure and record the resistance of the IAT sensor at various ambient temperatures, then compare those measurements to the Temperature vs. Resistance table. Refer to Temperature Versus Resistance .
  • Test the ECT sensor at various temperature levels in order to evaluate the possibility of a biased sensor. A sensor that is biased warmer can result in a driveability condition. Refer to Temperature Versus Resistance .
  • A slight to moderate resistance in the IAT sensor signal circuit or low reference circuit will increase the range between these two sensors. This condition results in a greater voltage on the IAT sensor signal circuit, which is interpreted by the ECM as a colder IAT.
  • If the condition is intermittent, allow the vehicle to sit for greater than 8 h with the ignition OFF, may help isolate the condition. Compare the scan tool and ECT Sensor temperature sensor values at ignition on. The Radiator Coolant Temperature Sensor and the ECT Sensor values should display within 3ºC (5º F).

Circuit/System Description

The throttle body assembly contains 2 throttle position sensors. The throttle position sensors are mounted to the throttle body assembly and are not serviceable. The throttle position sensors provide a signal voltage that changes relative to throttle blade angle. The engine control module (ECM) supplies the throttle position sensors with a common 5 V reference circuit, a common low reference circuit, and two independent signal circuits.

The throttle position sensors have opposite functionality. throttle position sensor 1 signal voltage decreases and throttle position sensor 2 signal voltage increases as the accelerator pedal increases to wide open throttle (WOT).

DTC Descriptor

DTC P0128

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Below Thermostat Regulating Temperature

Circuit/System Description

NOTE: The engine coolant temperature sensor is referred to as B34A Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor 1 in schematics and other areas.

The engine control module (ECM) monitors the temperature of the engine coolant for engine control and enabling criteria for some diagnostics. The amount of air flow into an engine is proportional to the amount of heat an engine generates. The ECM monitors the amount of air flow into the engine to calculate engine coolant temperature (ECT). The ECM uses the calculated temperature to determine if the engine has warmed up to the thermostat regulating temperature. If the ECT does not increase normally or does not reach the thermostat regulating temperature, diagnostics that use the ECT as enabling criteria, may not run when expected. If the ECT fails to reach the thermostat regulating temperature, before a predetermined amount of air flow enters the engine, the DTC sets.

Circuit/System Description

The heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel control and catalyst monitoring. Each HO2S compares the oxygen content of the surrounding air with the oxygen content of the exhaust stream. When the engine is started, the control module operates in an open loop mode, ignoring the HO2S signal voltage while calculating the air to fuel ratio. While the engine runs, the HO2S heats up and begins to generate a voltage within a range of 0-1 275 mV. Once sufficient HO2S voltage fluctuation is observed by the control module, closed loop is entered. The control module uses the HO2S voltage to determine the air to fuel ratio. An HO2S voltage that increases toward 1 000 mV indicates a rich fuel mixture. An HO2S voltage that decreases toward 0 mV indicates a lean fuel mixture.

The heating elements inside each HO2S heat the sensor to bring the sensor up to operating conditions faster.

This allows the system to enter closed loop earlier and the control module to calculate the air to fuel ratio sooner

Circuit/System Description

The heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel control and catalyst monitoring. Each HO2S compares the oxygen content of the surrounding air with the oxygen content of the exhaust stream. When the engine is started, the control module operates in an open loop mode, ignoring the HO2S signal voltage while calculating the air to fuel ratio. While the engine runs, the HO2S heats up and begins to generate a voltage within a range of 0-1 000 mV. Once sufficient HO2S voltage fluctuation is observed by the control module, closed loop is entered. The control module uses the HO2S voltage to determine the air to fuel ratio. An HO2S voltage that increases toward 1 000 mV indicates a rich fuel mixture. An HO2S voltage that decreases toward 0 mV indicates a lean fuel mixture.

The heating elements inside each HO2S heat the sensor to bring the sensor up to operating conditions faster.

This allows the system to enter closed loop earlier and the control module to calculate the air to fuel ratio sooner.

When the engine is started, the control module operates in an open loop mode, ignoring the HO2S signal voltage while calculating the air to fuel ratio.

Circuit/System Description

The heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel control and catalyst monitoring. Each HO2S compares the oxygen content of the surrounding air with the oxygen content of the exhaust stream. When the engine is started, the control module operates in an open loop mode, ignoring the HO2S signal voltage while calculating the air to fuel ratio. While the engine runs, the HO2S heats up and begins to generate a voltage within a range of 0-1 000 mV. Once sufficient HO2S voltage fluctuation is observed by the control module, closed loop is entered. The control module uses the HO2S voltage to determine the air to fuel ratio. An HO2S voltage that increases toward 1 000 mV indicates a rich fuel mixture. An HO2S voltage that decreases toward 0 mV indicates a lean fuel mixture.

The heating elements inside each HO2S heat the sensor to bring the sensor up to operating conditions faster.

This allows the system to enter closed loop earlier and the control module to calculate the air to fuel ratio sooner.

DTC Descriptors

DTC P0171

Fuel Trim System Lean

DTC P0172

Fuel Trim System Rich

Circuit/System Description

The engine control module (ECM) controls a Closed Loop air/fuel metering system in order to provide the best possible combination of driveability, fuel economy, and emission control. The ECM monitors the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 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 HO2S signal voltages. These changes fine tune the engine fueling.

The long term fuel trim values change in response to trends in the 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. The ideal fuel trim values are around 0 %. A positive fuel trim value indicates that the ECM is adding fuel in order to compensate for a lean condition. A negative fuel trim value indicates that the ECM is reducing the amount of fuel in order to compensate for a rich condition

DTC Descriptors

DTC P0234

Engine Overboost

DTC P0299

Engine Underboost

Circuit Description

The boost pressure sensor is integrated with the turbocharger boost/intake air temperature sensor. The boost pressure sensor measures the range of pressures between the turbocharger and the throttle body. The sensor used on this engine is a three atmosphere sensor. Pressure in this portion of the induction system is affected by engine speed, throttle opening, turbocharger boost pressure, Intake air temperature (IAT), barometric pressure (BARO), and the efficiency of the charge air cooler.

The sensor provides a signal voltage to the engine control module (ECM), relative to the pressure changes.

Under normal operation the greatest pressure that can exist in this portion of the induction system at ignition ON, engine OFF is equal to the BARO. When the engine is operated at wide-open throttle (WOT) the turbocharger can increase the pressure to near 240 kPa (34.8 psi). The pressure is equal to the BARO when the engine is idling or decelerating.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Diagnostic Aids

  • The charged air cooler is connected to the turbocharger and to the throttle body by flexible duct work that requires the use of special high torque fastening clamps. These clamps cannot be substituted. In order to prevent any type of air leak when servicing the duct work, the tightening specifications and proper positioning of the clamps is critical, and must be strictly adhered to.
  • An excessively worn wastegate pivot pin may allow the wastegate to open slightly when commanded closed, which may result in P0299 being set.

Diagnostic Fault Information

Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit/System Description

The BorgWarner dual scroll turbocharger incorporates a wastegate that is controlled by a pressure differential, that is determined by the engine control module (ECM) by means of a pulse width modulation (PWM) solenoid, in order to regulate the pressure ratio of the compressor. A charge air bypass valve also controlled by the ECM by utilizing a remotely mounted solenoid is integrated into the bypass valve to prevent compressor surging and damage from vibrations by opening during abrupt closed throttle conditions. When the bypass valve is open during closed throttle deceleration conditions, the bypass valve allows the air to recirculate in the turbocharger and maintain compressor speed. Within a calibrated range during the closed throttle event, or upon a wide open throttle command the bypass valve will then close to optimize turbo response. The turbocharger wastegate actuator has the following circuits:

  • Ignition voltage
  • Turbocharger wastegate solenoid control

At idle the turbocharger wastegate solenoid parameter is commanded to 0% by the ECM. When the engine load and RPM first increases under a wide open throttle, the turbocharger wastegate solenoid parameter should briefly be commanded as great as 90-100%. When the proper level of boost pressure is attained, the ECM will decrease the PWM of the solenoid to a range of 65-85%. As soon as the throttle closes the ECM will command the turbocharger wastegate solenoid parameter back to 0%, in order to allow the turbocharger waste gate to open from the air pressure ratio differential, there by reducing the speed of the turbine.

Conditions for Running the DTC

  • Ignition ON or engine running.
  • The battery voltage is between 11-32 V.
  • This DTC runs continuously within the enabling conditions.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects an open, a short to ground, or a short to voltage on the turbocharger wastegate solenoid control circuit for greater than 0.5 s.

Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected

DTC P0302

Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected

DTC P0303

Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected

DTC P0304

Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected

Circuit/System Description

The engine control module (ECM) uses information from the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position sensor to determine when a engine cylinder misfire is occurring. By monitoring variations in the crankshaft rotation speed for each cylinder, the ECM can detect individual cylinder misfire events.

Extreme cylinder misfire events can cause catalytic converter damage. The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will flash when the conditions for catalytic converter damage are present. DTCs P0301 through P0304 correspond to cylinders 1 through 4. When the ECM detects that a specific cylinder is misfiring, a DTC for the that cylinder will set and the corresponding fuel injector is disabled. The ECM will re-enable the fuel injector after 3 crankshaft revolutions if equipped with an automatic transmission or 6 crankshaft revolutions if equipped with a manual transmission to determine if the misfire is still present. If the misfire is still present, the ECM will disable the fuel injector again after 3 crankshaft revolutions if equipped with an automatic transmission or 6 crankshaft revolutions if equipped with a manual transmission repeating the process. If the misfire is not present, the fuel injector will remain enabled by the ECM.

Conditions for Running the DTC

  • DTCs P0016, P0101, P0102, P0103, P0112, P0113, P0117, P0118, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0222, P0223, P0315, P0335, P0336, P0502, P0651, and P2135 are not set.
  • The engine speed is greater than 1000 RPM.
  • The crankshaft and camshaft are syncronized.
  • The ignition voltage is between 11-18 V.
  • The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is between -7 to +125ºC (+19 to +257ºF).
  • The A/C compressor clutch is not changing states.
  • The fuel tank level is greater than 15%.
  • The ECM is not in fuel cut-off or deceleration fuel cut-off mode.
  • The ECM is not receiving a rough road signal.
  • The throttle angle is steady within 5%.
  • The throttle angle is greater than 3% when the vehicle speed is greater than 5 km/h (3 MPH).
  • The transmission is not changing gears.
  • The antilock brake system (ABS) and the traction control system , if equipped, is not active.

The DTCs run continuously when the above conditions are met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0300

The ECM detects a crankshaft rotation speed variation indicating a misfire rate sufficient to cause emissions levels to exceed a predetermined value or a misfire rate high enough to cause catalyst damage.

P0301, P0302, P0303, or P0304

The ECM detects a crankshaft rotation speed variation indicating a single cylinder misfire rate sufficient to cause emissions levels to exceed mandated standards.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

  • DTCs P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303 and P0304 are Type B DTCs.
  • The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will flash when the conditions for catalytic converter damage are present

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303 and P0304 are Type B DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

  • A misfire DTC could be caused by an excessive vibration from sources other than the engine. Inspect for the following possible sources:
  • A tire or wheel that is out of round or out of balance
  • Variable thickness brake rotors
  • An unbalanced drive shaft
  • Certain rough road conditions
  • Transmission operation
  • Cracked Spark Plug Insulators
  • Broken or weak valve spring
  • A damaged or defective accessory drive component or belt; remove the belt and safely operate the engine to evaluate if misfire counts go away.
  • High resistance in the circuits of the injectors may set a misfire DTC without setting an injector DTC.

    Test the injector circuits of the affected cylinder(s) for a high resistance if you suspect a condition.

  • If the condition is intermittent, observing the scan tool IC Circuit Test and Fuel Injector Circuit Test Status parameters may help isolate the condition. The circuit test status parameters will change from OK or Not Run to Fault/Malfunction if a condition exists.
  • A condition in the heated O2 sensor (HO2S) heater control circuits may set a DTC P0300.

DTC Descriptor

DTC P0315

Crankshaft Position System Variation Not Learned

Circuit/System Description

The crankshaft position sensor system variation learn feature is used to calculate reference period errors caused by slight tolerance variations in the crankshaft, and the crankshaft position sensor. The calculated error allows the engine control module (ECM) to accurately compensate for reference period variations. This enhances the ability of the ECM to detect misfire events over a wider range of engine speed and load.

The crankshaft position sensor system variation compensating values are stored in ECM memory after a learn procedure has been performed. If the actual crankshaft position sensor variation is not within the crankshaft position sensor system variation compensating values stored in the ECM, DTC P0300 may set.

If the crankshaft position sensor system variation values are not stored in the ECM memory, DTC P0315 sets.

Conditions for Running the DTC

  • The engine is running.
  • The DTC runs continuously.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The crankshaft position sensor system variation values are not stored in the ECM memory.

Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit/System Description

The knock sensor enables the engine control module (ECM) to control the ignition timing for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from potentially damaging levels of detonation. The knock sensor produces an alternating current (AC) voltage signal that varies depending on the vibration level during engine operation. The ECM adjusts the spark timing based on the amplitude and the frequency of the knock sensor signal. The ECM learns a minimum knock sensor noise level for all of the engine speed ranges and monitors the normal knock sensor signal. The ECM monitors the internal knock sensor processor test circuits which perform the open circuit diagnostic.

Crankshaft Position Sensor Circuit

DTC P0336

Crankshaft Position Sensor Performance

Diagnostic Fault Information

Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit/System Description

The crankshaft position sensor circuits consist of an engine control module (ECM) supplied 5 V reference circuit, low reference circuit, and an output signal circuit. The crankshaft position sensor is an internally magnetic biased digital output integrated circuit sensing device. The sensor detects magnetic flux changes of the teeth and slots of a 58-tooth reluctor wheel on the crankshaft. Each tooth on the reluctor wheel is spaced at 60- tooth spacing, with 2 missing teeth for the reference gap. The crankshaft position sensor produces an ON/OFF DC voltage of varying frequency, with 58 output pulses per crankshaft revolution. The frequency of the crankshaft position sensor output depends on the velocity of the crankshaft. The crankshaft position sensor sends a digital signal, which represents an image of the crankshaft reluctor wheel, to the ECM as each tooth on the wheel rotates past the crankshaft position sensor. The ECM uses each crankshaft position signal pulse to determine crankshaft speed and decodes the crankshaft reluctor wheel reference gap to identify crankshaft position. This information is then used to determine the optimum ignition and injection points of the engine.

The ECM also uses crankshaft position sensor output information to determine the camshaft relative position to the crankshaft, to control camshaft phasing, and to detect cylinder misfire.

Diagnostic Fault Information

Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit/System Description

The camshaft position sensors each have 3 circuits consisting of an engine control module (ECM) supplied 5 V reference circuit, low reference circuit, and an output signal circuit. The camshaft position sensor is an internally magnetic biased digital output integrated circuit sensing device. The sensor detects magnetic flux changes of the teeth and slots of a 4-tooth reluctor wheel attached to the camshaft. As each reluctor wheel tooth rotates past the camshaft position sensor, the resulting change in the magnetic field is used by the sensor electronics to produce a digital output pulse. The sensor returns a digital ON/OFF DC voltage pulse of varying frequency with 4 varying width output pulses per camshaft revolution that represent an image of the camshaft reluctor wheel. The frequency of the camshaft position sensor output depends on the velocity of the camshaft.

The ECM decodes the narrow and wide tooth pattern to identify camshaft position. This information is then used to determine the optimum ignition and injection points of the engine. The ECM uses the exhaust camshaft position sensor to determine injector and ignition system synchronization. The intake and exhaust camshaft position sensors are also used to determine camshaft to crankshaft relationship. The ECM also uses camshaft position sensor output information to determine the camshaft relative position to the crankshaft to control camshaft phasing and limp-home operation.

Diagnostic Fault Information

Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit/System Description

The ignition system on this engine uses an ignition coil module. The engine control module (ECM) controls the spark event for each cylinder through the individual ignition coil control circuits. When the ECM commands the ignition control circuit ON, electrical current will flow through the primary winding of the ignition coil, creating a magnetic field. When a spark event is requested, the ECM will command the ignition control circuit OFF, interrupting current flow through the primary winding. The magnetic field created by the primary winding will collapse across the secondary coil windings, producing a high voltage across the spark plug electrodes. The ECM uses information from the crankshaft position sensor, and the camshaft position sensor for sequencing and timing of the spark events. The ECM monitors each ignition control circuit for improper voltage levels.

Conditions for Running the DTC

  • The engine is running.
  • Ignition voltage is greater than 5 V.

The DTCs run continuously when the above conditions are met.

DTC P0420

Catalyst System Low Efficiency

Circuit/System Description

A 3-way catalytic converter controls emissions of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxide (NOx). The catalyst within the converter promotes a chemical reaction, which oxidizes the hydrocarbons and the CO that are present in the exhaust gas. This process converts the hydrocarbons and the CO into water vapor and carbon dioxide (CO2), and reduces the NOx, converting the NOx into nitrogen. The catalytic converter also stores oxygen. The engine control module (ECM) monitors this process by using a heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) that is in the exhaust stream after the 3-way catalytic converter. The HO2S 2 produces an output signal that the ECM uses to calculate the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst. This indicates the ability of the catalyst to convert the exhaust emissions efficiently. The ECM monitors the efficiency of the catalyst by allowing the catalyst to heat, then wait for a stabilization period while the engine is idling. The ECM then adds and removes fuel while monitoring the HO2S 2. When the catalyst is functioning properly, the HO2S 2 response to the extra fuel is slow compared to the response of the HO2S 1, which is located before the 3-way catalytic converter. When the HO2S 2 response is near that of the HO2S 1, the oxygen storage capability and efficiency of the catalyst may be degraded below an acceptable threshold.

Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Small Leak Detected

Circuit/System Description

The engine off natural vacuum (EONV) test is the small leak detection diagnostic for the evaporative emission (EVAP) system. This diagnostic tests the EVAP system for a small leak when the key is turned OFF and the correct conditions are met. Heat from the exhaust system is transferred into the fuel tank while the vehicle is operating. When the vehicle is turned OFF and the EVAP system is sealed a change in the fuel tank vapor temperature occurs which results in a corresponding pressure change in the fuel tank vapor space. This change is monitored by the ECM using the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor input. With a leak in the system, the amount of pressure change will be less than that of a sealed system.

Diagnostic Aids

  • The EVAP system can be filled with smoke more quickly and completely by opening the system opposite the end where the smoke is injected. When injecting smoke at the service port tool temporarily leave the EVAP vent solenoid valve open until smoke is observed then close the system and continue testing.
  • To help locate intermittent leaks using the GE 41413-A , move all EVAP components while observing smoke with the GE 41413-SPT .
  • Individual components can be isolated and tested using adapters in the GE 41413-300 .
  • When servicing the EVAP system, test pressure must not exceed 13 in H20 (0.5 PSI) as pressure in excess of this could cause system components to perform inaccurately.
  • A condition may exist where a leak in the EVAP system only exists under a vacuum condition. This type of leak may be detected by using the scan tool Purge/Seal function to create a vacuum in the EVAP system and then observe the FTP parameter for vacuum decay.

Typical Scan Tool Data

FTP Sensor Voltage

FTP Sensor Voltage

Circuit/System Description

The Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) sensor measures pressure or vacuum in the evaporative emission (EVAP) system. The engine control module (ECM) supplies a 5 V reference and a low reference circuit to the FTP sensor. The FTP sensor signal voltage varies depending on EVAP system pressure or vacuum. The controller also uses this FTP signal to determine atmospheric pressure for use in the engine-off small leak test, DTC P0442. Before using this signal as an atmospheric reference it must first be re-zeroed.

Conditions for Running the DTC

P0451

  • DTC P0451 runs only when the engine-off natural vacuum small leak test, P0442, executes.
  • The number of times this test runs can range from 0-2 per engine-off period. The length of the test can be up to 10 min.

P0452 and P0453

DTC P0452 and P0453 run continuously when the ignition is ON.

P0454

  • DTC P0454 runs only when the engine-off natural vacuum small leak test, P0442, executes and the EVAP Vent Solenoid Valve is closed.
  • This test can run once per engine-off period. The length of the test can be up to 10 min.
  • A refueling event is not detected. A refueling event is confirmed if the fuel level has a persistent change of 10 % for 30 s.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0451

This DTC will set if the controller is unable to re-zero the FTP sensor voltage within a calibrated range during the engine-off small leak test, P0442

P0452

The FTP sensor voltage is less than 0.15 V for more than 10 s.

P0453

The FTP sensor voltage is more than 4.9 V for more than 10 s.

P0454

If, during the engine-off natural vacuum small leak test, P0442, the ECM detects an abrupt FTP signal change, other than a refueling event, this DTC will set. An abrupt change is defined as a change of 0.45 in H2O in the span of 1 s but less than 1 in H2O in 12.5 ms.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

  • DTCs P0451 and P0454 are Type A DTCs.
  • DTCs P0452 and P0453 are Type B DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

  • DTCs P0451 and P0454 are Type A DTCs.
  • DTCs P0452 and P0453 are Type B DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

P0451 and P0454

  • A restriction in the EVAP canister or vent lines could prevent fuel vapor pressure from bleeding off fast enough. If the vent system cannot bleed off pressure fast enough, the re-zero procedure may not complete successfully, which could cause this code to set.
  • Ensure that the reference port on the FTP sensor is unobstructed.
  • An FTP sensor that is skewed or does not have a linear transition from low to high may cause this code to set. Scan tool output controls, snapshot, and plot functions can help detect erratic sensor response. To test the sensor signal under vacuum conditions, use the Quick Snapshot and the Purge/Seal functions to capture data while commanding purge to 20 %, then plot the data to look for erratic sensor operation. A similar test can be done for the pressure side of the sensor operation by applying pressure with the GE 41413-A while taking a snapshot.

DTC P0455

Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Large Leak Detected

Circuit/System Description

The engine control module (ECM) tests the evaporative emission (EVAP) system for a large leak or restrictions to the purge path in the EVAP system. The ECM commands the EVAP purge solenoid valve open and the EVAP vent solenoid valve closed. This allows engine vacuum to enter the EVAP system. At a calibrated time, or vacuum level, the ECM commands the EVAP purge solenoid closed, sealing the system, and monitors the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor input in order to determine the EVAP system vacuum level. The following table illustrates the relationship between the ON and OFF states, and the open or closed states of the EVAP purge and vent solenoid valves.

Conditions for Running the DTC

  • DTCs P0068, P00C8, P00C9, P010C, P010D, P012B, P012C, P012D, P0101, P0102, P0103, P0106, P0107, P0108, P0111, P0112, P0113, P0114, P0116, P0117, P0118, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0125, P0128, P0191, P0192, P0193, P0222, P0223, P0443, P0449, P0452, P0453, P0454, P0502, P0503, P0601, P0604, P0606, P0722, P0723, P1104, P1221, P1682, P2100, P2101, P2102, P2103, P2135, P2176, P160D, P160E, P16A0, P16A1, P16A2 and P16F3 are not set.
  • The cold startup engine coolant temperature (ECT) and the startup intake air temperature (IAT) are within 8ºC (46ºF).
  • The ignition voltage is between 11-32 V.
  • The barometric pressure (BARO) is greater than 70 kPa .
  • The start up engine coolant temperature (ECT) is less than 35ºC (95ºF).
  • The start up intake air temperature (IAT) is between 4-30ºC (39-86ºF).
  • The EVAP purge is greater than 2.80%.
  • The fuel level is between 10-90%.
  • DTC P0455 runs once per cold start, for up to 17 min, when the above conditions are met

Conditions for Setting the DTC

  • The EVAP system is not able to achieve or maintain a calibrated level of vacuum within a set amount of time.
  • After setting the DTC for the first time, 2 L (0.5 gal) of fuel must be consumed before setting the DTC for the second time.
  • With a DTC P0455 detected a weak vacuum follow-up test (fuel cap replacement test) will run and passes if tank vacuum is greater than 2.74 kPa (11 in H20). This test will run for a maximum of 22 min. This test runs until it passes.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P0455 is a Type B DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P0455 is a Type B DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

  • Inspect for a loose, missing, incorrect, or damaged fuel fill cap.
  • Inspect for a damaged fuel filler neck seal surface.
  • A blockage or restriction in the EVAP purge solenoid valve, purge pipe, EVAP canister, or vapor pipe, can cause this DTC to set.
  • The EVAP system can be filled with smoke more quickly and completely by opening the system opposite the end where the smoke is injected. For example, when injecting smoke at the service port remove the fuel fill cap, or temporarily leave the vent open, until smoke is observed, then close the system and continue testing. If using a fuel cap adapter at the filler neck, use the J 41413-VLV at the service port to allow the system to fill faster.
  • To help locate intermittent leaks, use the GE 41413-A to introduce smoke into the EVAP system. Move all EVAP components while observing smoke with the GE 41413-SPT .
  • Individual components can be isolated and tested using adapters in the J 41413-300 .
  • When servicing the EVAP system, test pressure must not exceed 13 in H20 (0.5 PSI) as pressure in excess of this could cause system components to perform inaccurately.
  • A condition may exist where a leak in the EVAP system only exists under a vacuum condition. This type of leak may be detected by using the scan tool Purge/Seal function to create a vacuum in the EVAP system and then observe the FTP parameter for vacuum decay.

DTC P0496

Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Flow During Non-Purge

Circuit/System Description

This DTC tests for undesired intake manifold vacuum flow to the evaporative emission (EVAP) system. The engine control module (ECM) seals the EVAP system by commanding the EVAP purge solenoid valve OFF and the vent solenoid valve ON. The ECM monitors the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor to determine if a vacuum is being drawn on the EVAP system. If vacuum in the EVAP system is more than a predetermined value within a predetermined time, this DTC sets.

The table listed below illustrates the relationship between the ON and OFF states, and the Open or Closed states of the EVAP purge and vent solenoid valves.

Brake Pedal Position Sensor

Brake Pedal Position Sensor

Circuit/System Description

The brake pedal position (BPP) sensor is part of the engine brake pedal override feature. The engine control module (ECM) continuously monitors the vehicle speed and the position of the brake pedal. These two main inputs, along with other ECM inputs are used to determine if the vehicle is decelerating at the proper speed and rate with the brake pedal applied. When the engine brake pedal override system is active, the ECM reduces engine torque to assist in reducing vehicle speed.

The BPP sensor is a six wire sensor, and is part of a dual brake position sensor. One BPP Sensor is used for the stop lamps and the other BPP Sensor is used for the engine brake pedal override feature. The BPP Sensor for engine brake pedal override communicates with the ECM. The ECM supplies a 5 V reference circuit, low reference circuit, and signal circuit to the BPP sensor. The BPP sensor sends a voltage signal to the ECM on the signal circuit. The voltage on the signal circuit will vary from a voltage greater than 0.25 V when the brake pedal is released to a voltage less than 4.75 V when the brake pedal is fully applied.

For information on the Stop Lamps side of the BPP Sensor, refer to Exterior Lighting Systems Description and Operation .

The catalyst must be warmed to efficiently reduce the emissions. The cold start strategy is to reduce the amount of time it takes to warm the catalyst. During a cold start, the engine idle speed is elevated and spark timing is retarded to allow the catalyst to warm quickly. This diagnostic monitors the following to build an exhaust energy model:

  • Engine speed
  • Spark advance
  • Throttle position
  • Engine airflow
  • Engine coolant temperature
  • Engine run time
  • Park/neutral position

Action Taken when the DTC Sets

  • DTCs P2096 and P2097 are Type B DTCs.
  • The ECM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the ECM stores this information in the Failure records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second ignition cycle, the ECM records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The ECM writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure records. The ECM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when one of the following occurs:
  • The ECM detects the same fuel trim failure during 2 consecutive trips.
  • The ECM detects any fuel trim failure during any subsequent trip if the conditions at the time of failure meet the following criteria:
  • The engine load is within 20 percent of the previous test that failed.
  • The engine speed is within 375 RPM of the previous test that failed.
  • The engine coolant temperature is in the same range of the previous test that failed.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

  • DTCs P2096 and P2097 are Type B DTCs.
  • The ECM turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) at the beginning of the fourth ignition cycle, after 3 ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
  • A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.

Diagnostic Aids

  • The post catalyst fuel trim diagnostic is very sensitive to heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) design. A non-OE sensor or an incorrect part number may cause a DTC to set.
  • Certain aftermarket air filters may cause a DTC to set.
  • Certain aftermarket air induction systems or modifications to the air induction system may cause a DTC to set.
  • Certain aftermarket exhaust system components may cause a DTC to set.

Turbocharger Bypass Valve Stuck

Circuit/System Description

The turbocharger incorporates a bypass valve which is controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM), by utilizing a remotely mounted solenoid valve, to prevent turbocharger surging and damage from vibrations by opening during abrupt closed throttle conditions. When the valve is open during closed throttle deceleration conditions, it allows the air to recirculate in the turbocharger and maintain turbocharger speed. Within a calibrated range during the closed throttle event, or upon a wide open throttle command the valve will then close to optimize turbo response. The bypass solenoid valve has the following circuits:

  • Ignition voltage
  • Turbocharger bypass solenoid valve control

As engine load and engine speed increases, the turbocharger bypass solenoid valve remains commanded ON by the ECM. As soon as the throttle closes the turbocharger bypass solenoid valve is commanded OFF by the ECM, in order to allow the turbocharger bypass valve to open and allow the turbocharger air to recirculate, there by preventing turbocharger surging.

Transmission Torque Request Signal Message Counter Incorrect

Circuit/System Description

To improve shift feel, the transmission control module (TCM) is constantly sending the engine control module (ECM) serial data messages with requests to modify engine speed or torque. These serial data messages are sent through two circuits which are part of a communication network called the controller area network (CAN). The ECM sets DTC P2544 when it detects a discrepancy in the structure of the message causing the integrity of the message to be questioned.

Conditions for Running the DTC

  • The engine run time is greater than 0.5 s.
  • No other CAN errors are present

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects that the engine speed and torque modification messages from the TCM are either corrupted or intermittently missing for greater than 4 s.

SYMPTOMS - ENGINE CONTROLS

Diagnostic Instructions

  • Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
  • Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
  • Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Symptoms Description

Symptoms cover conditions that are not covered by DTCs. Certain conditions can cause multiple symptoms.

These conditions are listed together under Symptoms Testing. Conditions that may only cause specific symptoms are listed separately under additional symptoms testing. Perform the symptoms testing before using the additional symptoms testing.

Symptoms Definition

Backfire

Fuel ignites in the intake manifold or in the exhaust system, making a loud popping noise.

Cuts Out, Misses

A steady pulsation or jerking that follows engine speed, which is usually more pronounced as the engine load increases. This condition is not normally felt above 1 500 RPM or 48 km/h (30 MPH). The exhaust has a steady spitting sound at idle or at low speed.

Detonation/Spark Knock

A mild to severe ping which usually gets worse while under acceleration. The engine makes sharp metallic knocks that change with throttle opening.

Dieseling, Run-On

Fuel ignites in the intake manifold or in the exhaust system, making a loud popping noise.

Engine Control Module (ECM) Commanded Reduced Engine Power

The ECM illuminates the Reduced Engine Power lamp and will limit engine power under potential engine/vehicle damaging or emissions related conditions. A DTC may not be set.

Hard Start

Engine cranks OK, but does not start for a long time. The vehicle does eventually run, or may start but immediately stalls.

Hesitation, Sag, Stumble

Momentary lack of response as the accelerator is pushed down. This condition can occur at any vehicle speed. This condition is usually more pronounced when first trying to make the vehicle move, as from a stop. This condition may cause the engine to stall in severe conditions.

Lack of Power, Sluggishness, or Sponginess

The engine delivers less than expected power. Little or no increase in speed when the accelerator pedal is pushed down part way.

Poor Fuel Economy

Fuel economy, as measured by an actual road test, is noticeably lower than expected. Also, the fuel economy is noticeably lower than it was on this vehicle at one time, as previously shown by an actual road test.

Rough, Unstable, or Incorrect Idle and Stalling

The engine runs unevenly at idle. If severe, the engine or the vehicle may shake. Engine idle may vary in speed. Either condition may be severe enough to stall the engine.

Surges/Chuggles

Engine power variation under steady throttle or cruise. Feels like the vehicle speeds up and slows down with no change in the accelerator pedal position.

Symptoms Verification

Before using the Symptom tables, perform the following inspections:

  • Verify that the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is operating correctly. Use the scan tool to command the lamp ON and OFF.
  • Verify that there are no DTCs that are stored.
  • Verify that the scan tool data is within a normal operating range. Refer to Control Module References for scan tool information.
  • Verify the customer concern.

Engine cranks but does not run

Diagnostic Instructions

  • Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
  • Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
  • Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Circuit/System Description

The engine cranks but does not run is an organized approach to identify a condition which causes the engine to crank but not start. This diagnostic directs the technician to the appropriate system diagnosis.

This diagnostic assumes the system voltage levels are adequate for starter motor operation. Fuel level and fuel quality must be determined for correct diagnosis.

Diagnostic Aids

Inspect for any of the conditions listed below:

  • Insufficient fuel can cause a no start condition. Thoroughly inspect the fuel delivery system for sufficient fuel volume to the fuel injectors. Inspect the fuel supply components for partial blockage or restrictions.
  • Fuel injectors with partially blocked and restricted nozzles, or a malfunctioning solenoid, can cause a no start condition. Refer to Fuel Injector Diagnosis.
  • There may be fuel spray at the fuel injectors and the indicated fuel pressure may be correct, yet there may not be enough fuel to start the engine. If the fuel injectors and the injector circuit are OK, and fuel spray is detected, the fuel injector ON time may be inadequate. If the engine control module (ECM) receives incorrect inputs from the various information sensors, the fuel delivered by the fuel injectors may be inadequate to start the engine. Check all the engine data parameters with a scan tool and compare the values indicated with the expected values or the values from a known vehicle in good condition.
  • Check the crankshaft position sensor engine reference signal with a scan tool. Observe the engine speed parameter while cranking the engine. The scan tool should indicate a steady 200-300 RPM while cranking. If erratic values, such as sudden spikes in the engine speed, are displayed, the engine reference signal is not stable enough for the engine to start and run properly.
  • Inspect the engine for good secure electrical grounds.
  • If the engine almost starts and then stalls, check for an open in the ground circuits of the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position sensor - intake or camshaft position sensor - exhaust.
  • Water or foreign material in the fuel can cause a no start or engine will not stay running condition. During freezing weather water can freeze inside the fuel system. The engine may start after 30 min in a heated repair shop. The malfunction may not recur until parked overnight in freezing temperatures. Extreme weather conditions can cause contaminated fuel to prevent the vehicle from starting.
  • An engine that starts and runs after being brought to the repair shop for a no start condition, may have an ignition system that is susceptible to moisture. Spray water on the ignition system components and the wiring in order to check for an engine starting or will not stay running concern.

Diagnostic Instructions

  • Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
  • Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
  • Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Circuit/System Description

The engine control module (ECM) enables the fuel pump relay when the ignition switch is turned ON. The ECM will disable the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds unless the control module detects ignition reference pulses. The ECM continues to enable the fuel pump relay as long as ignition reference pulses are detected. The ECM disables the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds if ignition reference pulses cease to be detected and the ignition remains ON.

An electric turbine style fuel pump attaches to the fuel tank fuel pump module inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel feed pipe to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump provides fuel at a higher rate of flow than is needed by the fuel injection system. The fuel pump also supplies fuel to a jet pump located in the fuel tank fuel pump module. The function of the jet pump is to fill the fuel tank fuel pump module reservoir. The fuel pressure regulator, attached to the fuel rail, maintains the correct fuel pressure to the fuel injection system. The fuel return pipe returns unused fuel to the fuel tank. The fuel tank fuel pump module contains a reverse flow check valve. The check valve and the fuel pressure regulator maintain fuel pressure in the fuel feed pipe and the fuel rail in order to prevent long cranking times

Circuit/System Description

The engine control module (ECM) supplies voltage to the chassis control module when the ECM detects that the ignition is ON. The voltage from the ECM to the chassis control module remains active for 2 s, unless the engine is in Crank or Run. While this voltage is being received, the chassis control module closes the ground switch of the fuel pump and also supplies a varying voltage to the fuel tank fuel pump module in order to maintain the desired fuel line pressure.

The fuel system is an electronic returnless on-demand design. A returnless fuel system reduces the internal temperature of the fuel tank by not returning hot fuel from the engine to the fuel tank. Reducing the internal temperature of the fuel tank results in lower evaporative emissions.

The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. An electric turbine style fuel pump attaches to the fuel tank fuel pump module inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel feed pipe to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump also supplies fuel to a venturi pump located on the bottom of the fuel tank fuel pump module. The function of the venturi pump is to fill the fuel tank fuel pump module reservoir. The fuel tank fuel pump module contains a reverse flow check valve. The check valve maintains fuel pressure in the fuel feed pipe and the fuel rail in order to prevent long cranking times.

Diagnostic Aids

Observe the Misfire Counters or perform the Fuel Injector Balance Test to help identify a leaking fuel injector.

Fuel injector diagnosis

Diagnostic Instructions

  • Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
  • Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
  • Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Circuit/System Description

The engine control module (ECM) enables the appropriate fuel injector pulse for each cylinder. The ignition voltage is supplied directly to the fuel injectors. The ECM controls each fuel injector by grounding the control circuit via a solid state device called a driver. A fuel injector coil winding resistance that is too high or too low will affect the engine driveability. A fuel injector control circuit DTC may not set, but a misfire may be apparent. The fuel injector coil windings are affected by temperature. The resistance of the fuel injector coil windings will increase as the temperature of the fuel injector increases.

When performing the fuel injector balance test with the fuel injector tester or the scan tool, the scan tool is first used to enable the fuel pump. The fuel injector tester or the scan tool is then used to pulse each injector for a precise amount of time, allowing a measured amount of fuel to be injected. This causes a drop in the system fuel pressure that can be recorded and used to compare each injector.

Diagnostic Aids

  • Operating the vehicle over a wide temperature range may help isolate the fuel injector that is causing the condition.
  • Perform the fuel injector coil test within the conditions of the concern from the customer. A fuel injector condition may only be apparent at a certain temperature, or under certain conditions.
  • Monitoring the Current Misfire Counters, or misfire graph, may help to isolate the fuel injector that is causing the condition.

Fuel Injector Coil Test

Verify the resistance of each Q17 Fuel Injector with one of the following methods:

If the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is between 10-32ºC (50-90ºF), the resistance of each fuel injector should be 11-14 ohms. If the injectors measure OK, perform the Fuel Injector Balance Test.

  • If not within the specified range, replace the Q17 Fuel Injector.

If the ECT sensor is not between 10-32ºC (50-90ºF), measure and record the resistance of each fuel injector. Subtract the lowest resistance value from the highest resistance value. The difference between the lowest value and the highest value should be equal to or less than 3 ohms. If the injectors measure OK, perform the Fuel Injector Balance Test.

  • If not within the specified range, add all of the fuel injector resistance values to obtain a total resistance value. Divide the total resistance value by the number of fuel injectors to obtain an average resistance value. Subtract the lowest individual fuel injector resistance value from the average resistance value. Compute the difference between the highest individual fuel injector resistance value and the average resistance value. Replace the Q17 Fuel Injector that displays the greatest difference above or below the average.

Fuel Injector Balance Test with Special Tool

NOTE:

  • DO NOT perform this test if the engine coolant temperature (ECT) is above 94ºC (201ºF). Irregular fuel pressure readings may result due to hot soak fuel boiling.
  • Verify that adequate fuel is in the fuel tank before proceeding with this diagnostic.
  • Before proceeding with this test review the User Manual CH 48027-5 for Safety Information and Instructions.

  3. Connect the EL 39021 fuel injector coil and balance tester to a Q17 Fuel Injector.
  4. Command the Fuel Pump Enable On and then Off three times with a scan tool. On the last command, as the fuel pressure begins to slowly degrade and stabilize, select a fuel pressure within 34 kPa (5 psi) of the maximum pump pressure. Record this fuel pressure. This is the starting pressure at which you will pulse each injector.
  5. Command the Fuel Pump Enable On one more time and energize the fuel injector by depressing the Push to Start Test button on the EL 39021 fuel injector coil and balance tester at the previously selected pressure.
  6. After the injector stops pulsing, select Min from the Display Mode on the CH 48027 gauge and record the Min pressure.

NOTE: New test results will not be recorded if the Min/Max results are not cleared after each injector is tested.

  1. Clear the Min/Max results on the CH 48027 gauge.
  2. Select Normal from the Display Mode on the CH 48027 gauge.
  3. Repeat steps 3 and 5 through 8 for each fuel injector.

Test Description

Water contamination in the fuel system may cause driveability conditions such as hesitation, stalling, no start, or misfires in one or more cylinders. Water may collect near a single fuel injector at the lowest point in the fuel injection system and cause a misfire in that cylinder. If the fuel system is contaminated with water, inspect the fuel system components for rust or deterioration.

Ethanol concentrations of greater than 10 percent can cause driveability conditions and fuel system deterioration. Fuel with more than 10 percent ethanol could result in driveability conditions such as hesitation, lack of power, stalling, or no start. Excessive concentrations of ethanol used in vehicles not designed for it may cause fuel system corrosion, deterioration of rubber components, and fuel filter restriction.

  2. Add 10 ml (0.34 oz) of water in order to bring the total fluid volume to 100 ml (3.38 oz) and install a stopper.
  3. Shake the cylinder vigorously for 10-15 seconds.
  4. Carefully loosen the stopper in order to release the pressure.
  5. Re-install the stopper and shake the cylinder vigorously again for 10-15 seconds.
  6. Put the cylinder on a level surface for approximately 5 min in order 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 (0.34 oz). For example, if the volume of the lower layer is increased to 15 ml (0.51 oz), 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.

Particulate Contaminants in Fuel Testing Procedure

  1. Using an approved fuel container, draw approximately 0.5 liter (0.53 qt) of fuel.
  2. Place the container on a level surface for approximately 5 min in order to allow settling of the particulate contamination. Particulate contamination will show up in various shapes and colors. Sand will typically be identified by a white or light brown crystals. Rubber will appear as black and irregular particles.
  3. Observe the fuel sample. If any physical contaminants or water are present, clean the fuel system.

Operating Instructions for the Evaporative Emission System Tester (EEST)

Vehicle Setup

WARNING: Refer to Fuel and Evaporative Emission Pipe Warning .

CAUTION: Refer to Clean, Dry, Low Pressure Gas Source Caution

NOTE: When servicing the EVAP system, test pressure must not exceed 13 in H20 (0.5 PSI) as pressure in excess of this could cause system components to perform inaccurately.

NOTE: A large difference between the vehicle temperature and shop temperature will seriously affect the accuracy of the tests. Always allow at least 15 min for the vehicle temperature to adjust to the shop temperature. Refer to Temperature Variation Instructions for more information about vehicle versus shop temperatures.

  1. Engine OFF, open the hood. Position a large fan to blow air under the vehicle onto the fuel tank area.
  2.  Connect the red battery clip from the tester to the positive battery terminal.

NOTE: The vehicle battery must be fully charged for optimum tester performance.

  1. Connect the black battery clip from the tester to chassis ground.

Flow Meter Test - Leak Detection

CAUTION: Refer to Fuel and Evaporative Emission Hose/Pipe Connection Cleaning Caution

  1. Open the Nitrogen tank valve and turn the NITROGEN/SMOKE valve on the front control panel to NITROGEN.
  2. Connect the hose to the correct test orifice on the bottom front of the tester. For orifice size, refer to the vehicle specific information found in service procedures for DTCs that relate to evaporative emission (EVAP) system leaks.
  3. Press and release the remote switch to activate the tester.

NOTE: The tester will time out after about 15 min. You may press the remote switch to reactivate the tester as desired.

  1. Position the sliding red flag on the flow meter to align with the floating indicator. When the red flag is set, press and release the remote switch to deactivate the tester.
  2. Remove the hose from the test orifice and install the hose onto the vehicle. For proper connection location, and the special tool numbers for any adapters that may be required, refer to the service procedures for DTCs that relate to EVAP system leaks.
  3. Ignition ON, seal the EVAP system per instructions in the service procedures for DTCs that relate to EVAP system leaks. Most systems can be sealed using a scan tool output control for the EVAP Vent Solenoid Valve, other systems require that the vent system be plugged.

NOTE:

  • Larger volume fuel tanks, and/or those with lower fuel levels, may require several minutes to fill with nitrogen.
  • Static buildup may cause the float indicator to stick. It may be necessary to tap on the flow meter to free up the float.
  • If fuel level is 90 % or greater it will take longer to fill the system with smoke because the fuel fill tube check valve will be closed and force any smoke to pass through the ORVR pipe and orifice.
  1. Press and release the remote switch to activate the nitrogen flow and fill the system.
  2. Compare the stable floating indicator position to the red flag.
  • Below the red flag, the result is acceptable, Pass. Test complete
  • Above the red flag, the result is unacceptable, Fail. Go to the Smoke Procedure
  1. Press and release the remote switch to deactivate the tester.

Smoke Procedure - Locate the Leak

NOTE: It is not recommended to use the tester in an outside repair bay area because wind and sunlight may affect temperature and your ability to see the smoke.

  1. Turn OFF any fans that may cause air movement around or near the vehicle.

NOTE: Completely unwind the nitrogen/smoke hose from the bracket to optimize the tester's performance.

  1. Connect the nitrogen/smoke hose to the vehicle as directed in the service procedures. Some vehicles require that the nitrogen/smoke hose be connected at the front of the EVAP system at the EVAP service port. An adapter may be necessary. Other vehicles require the connection be made at the rear of the system using an adapter at the fuel fill cap. Consult the service procedures for DTCs that relate to evaporative emission (EVAP) system leaks for vehicle specific instructions regarding connection location and adapters.
  2. Open the Nitrogen tank valve and turn the nitrogen/smoke valve on the control panel to smoke.

NOTE: The remote switch operates on a push ON, push OFF fashion.

  1. Press and release the remote switch to activate the tester and inject smoke into the EVAP system.
  2. Verify smoke has filled the EVAP system by opening the system opposite the end where smoke is injected. When injecting smoke at the service port, remove the fuel fill cap until smoke is observed. Then close the system and continue testing. If using a special tool fuel fill cap adapter at the filler neck, vent the system at the service port, with special tool EN 41413-VLV EVAP Service Port Vent Fitting, until smoke is observed then remove the vent fitting tool and close the system to continue with the test.

NOTE: Inject smoke in less than 2 min cycles for optimum tester performance.

  1. Press and release the remote switch to deactivate the tester.

NOTE: For optimum visual smoke performance, deactivate the smoke flow and allow the system pressure to drop. Allowing the smoke to exit small holes at a low flow rate greatly enhances visibility.

  1. Introduce smoke into the system for an additional 60 s. Continue introducing smoke at 15 s intervals, as necessary.
  2. Using a high-intensity white light, inspect the entire EVAP system path, and look for the source of the leak indicated by the exiting smoke. Introduce smoke at 15 s intervals, as needed, until leak source is identified.

Temperature Variation Instructions

The Concern

Ideal circumstances for conducting the EVAP flow meter test require equal temperatures between the Nitrogen gas and the vehicle EVAP system. Significant differences in temperature between them can result in a flow or pressure change during testing, causing misleading results. Typically, the EEST is stored indoors, approximately 21ºC (70ºF). Vehicles brought in for diagnosis may have an EVAP system at significantly different temperatures.

For Example

NOTE: With no temperature difference between the Nitrogen gas and EVAP system, the resulting vehicle EVAP system pressure will remain stable at 3.2 kPa, 13 in. H2O (0.5 PSI) once pressurized, providing no leaks are present.

When the EVAP flow meter tests are performed with significant differences in temperature between the Nitrogen gas and the vehicle EVAP system, the following results can occur:

  • An increase in flow during the flow meter test can be caused by a vehicle's warm EVAP system cooling down.
  • A decrease in flow during the flow meter test can be caused by a vehicle's cool EVAP system warming up.

The Solution

When working on a vehicle with significant temperature differences between the vehicle EVAP system and the Nitrogen gas, allow the vehicle EVAP system temperature to stabilize as close as possible to the temperature of the Nitrogen gas before conducting the Flow Meter Test.

Inspection/maintenance system check

Diagnostic Instructions

  • Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
  • Review Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
  • Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category

Circuit/System Description

Several states require for a vehicle to pass on-board diagnostic (OBD) system tests and inspection/maintenance (I/M) emission inspections in order to renew license plates. This is accomplished by viewing the Inspection/Maintenance System Status or Data display on a scan tool. Using a scan tool, the technician can observe the I/M status in order to verify that the vehicle meets the criteria that complies with the local area requirements.

Condition for Updating the Inspection/Maintenance Emission System Status

Each system monitor requires at least one, and sometimes several, diagnostic tests. The result of each test is reported by a diagnostic trouble code (DTC). A system monitor is complete when either all of the DTCs composing the monitor have Run and Passed, or when any one of the DTCs comprising the monitor has illuminated the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). Once the system monitor is complete, the Inspection/Maintenance System Status or Data will indicate YES in the completed or Value column.

For example, when the HO2S heater status indicates YES, either all of the oxygen sensor heater tests have passed or one of the tests has illuminated the MIL. If the vehicle has two heated oxygen sensors, either both heater circuit tests have passed or one of the heater circuit tests has illuminated the MIL. The Inspection/Maintenance System Status or Data will indicate NO under the Completed or Value column when any of the required tests for that system have not run. The following is a list of conditions that may set the Inspection/Maintenance System Status or Data indicator to NO:

  • The vehicle is new from the factory and has not yet been driven through the necessary drive conditions to complete the tests.
  • The battery has been disconnected or discharged below operating voltage.
  • The engine control module (ECM) power or ground has been interrupted.
  • The ECM has been reprogrammed.
  • The ECM DTCs have been cleared.

Monitored Emission Control Systems

The OBD II System monitors all emission control systems that are on-board. The OBD II regulations require monitoring of the following:

  • The air conditioning system
  • The catalyst efficiency
  • Comprehensive component monitoring, emission related inputs and outputs
  • The evaporative emission (EVAP) system
  • The fuel delivery system
  • Heated catalyst monitoring
  • Misfire monitoring
  • The oxygen sensor system (HO2S)
  • The oxygen sensor heater system (HO2S heater)

For the specific DTCs required for each system, refer to Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System DTC Table.

Systems such as fuel delivery, misfire, and comprehensive components may not be listed in a system status list.

These tests run continuously and do not require an inspection/maintenance system status indicator.

Circuit/System Verification

  1. Verify that all Inspection/Maintenance System Status or Data indicators report YES, and that no I/M Test DTCs are present.
  • If any I/M Test DTCs are set

Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle .

  • If no I/M Test DTCs are set
  1. All OK.

Circuit/System Testing

NOTE: Many DTC related repairs will instruct the technician to clear the DTC information. Clearing the DTC will reset the Inspection/Maintenance System Status or Data indicators to NO. Performing the I/M Complete System Set Procedure will set each of the I/M System Status indicators to YES.

  1. Verify no I/M DTCs are present.
  • If an I/M DTC is set that would prevent the I/M System Status tests from completing, diagnose that DTC before continuing.

Refer to Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System DTC Table.

  • If no I/M DTCs are set
  1. Review applicable service bulletins for software updates that would prevent the I/M System Status tests from completing.
  • If a control module re-program or other repair is required,

Perform the Inspection/Maintenance Complete System Set Procedure after repair.

  • If no repair is required
  1. Observe the Inspection/Maintenance System Status or Data indicators.
  • If any Inspection/Maintenance System Status or Data indicators report NO

Perform the Inspection/Maintenance Complete System Set Procedure.

  • If no Inspection/Maintenance System Status or Data indicators report NO
  1. All OK.

Inspection/Maintenance System Set Procedure

NOTE: Whenever the ignition is turned ON, ignition positive voltage is supplied to the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) heaters. After verifying the enable criteria, turn OFF the ignition for approximately 5 minutes to allow the sensors to cool before continuing with the test. Once the engine is started, do NOT turn the engine OFF for the remaining portion of the set procedure.

  1. Ensure that the vehicle meets the conditions for a cold start listed above.
  • If the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) inspection/maintenance system status indicator displays NO, perform the EVAP Service Bay test if applicable.
  1. Turn OFF all accessories; HVAC system, other electrical loads, including aftermarket/add-on equipment, etc., and open the hood.
  2. Set the vehicle parking brake and ensure the vehicle is in park for automatic transmission or neutral for manual transmission.
  3. Turn the ignition ON for 1 min.
  4. Start and idle the engine for 5 min.
  5. Run the engine for 6 min within the following conditions:
  • Calculated air flow is between 9-30 g/s
