Description

The engine control module (ECM) learns the airflow through the throttle body to ensure the correct idle. The learned airflow values are stored within the ECM. These values are learned to adjust for production variation and will continuously learn during the life of the vehicle to compensate for reduced airflow due to throttle body coking. Anytime the throttle body airflow rate changes, for example due to cleaning or replacing, the values must be relearned.

An engine that had a heavily coked throttle body that has been cleaned or replaced may take several drive cycles to learn out the coking. To accelerate the process, the scan tool has the ability to reset all learned values back to zero. A new ECM will also have values set to zero.

The idle may be unstable or a DTC may set if the learned values do not match the actual airflow.

Throttle Learn

Reset Procedure (Performed after the throttle body is cleaned or replaced)

  1. Ignition ON, engine OFF, perform the Idle Learn Reset in Module Setup with a scan tool.
  2. Start the engine and monitor the TB Idle Airflow Compensation parameter. The TB Idle Airflow Compensation value should equal 0 percent and the engine should be idling at a normal idle speed.
  3. Clear the DTCs and return to the diagnostic that referred you here.

Learn Procedure (Performed after the ECM is flashed or replaced)

  1. Start and idle the engine for 3 minutes.
  2. With a scan tool, monitor the Desired Idle Speed and the actual Engine Speed.
  3. The ECM will start to learn the new idle cells and Desired Idle Speed should start to decrease.
  4. Ignition OFF for 60 seconds.
  5. Start and idle the engine for 3 minutes.
  6. After the 3 minute run time the engine should be idling normal. NOTE: During the drive cycle the check engine light may come on with idle speed DTCs. If idle speed codes are set, clear codes so the ECM can continue to learn. If the engine idle speed has not been learned the vehicle will need to be driven at speeds above 70 km/h (44 mph) with several decelerations and extended idles.
  7. After the drive cycle, the engine should be idling normally. If the engine idle speed has not been learned, turn OFF the ignition for 60 seconds and repeat step 6.
  8. Once the engine speed has returned to normal, clear DTCs and return to the diagnostic that referred you here.

The 8 cylinder engines receive 960 ml total fluid-120 ml (4 oz) of GM Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner and 840 ml (28 oz) of gasoline.
  4. Fill the injector cleaning tank with regular unleaded gasoline. Be sure to follow all additional instructions provided with the tool.
  5. Electrically disable the vehicle fuel pump by removing the fuel pump relay and disconnecting the oil pressure switch connector, if equipped.
  6. Disconnect the fuel feed and return line, if equipped, at the fuel rail. Plug the fuel feed and return line, if equipped, coming off the fuel rail with J 37287 , or J 42964-1 , and J 42964-2 or J 42873-1 , and J 42873-2 as appropriate for the fuel system.
  7. Connect the J 35800-A to the vehicle fuel rail.
  8. Pressurize the J 35800-A to 510 kPa (75 psi).
  9. Start and idle the engine until it stalls due to lack of fuel. This should take approximately 15-20 minutes.
  10. Turn the ignition to the OFF position.
  11. Injectors should be flow-tested at this point. If further cleaning is needed, a repeat of the above procedure should be done. When the injector restriction returns to zero, proceed to step 12.
  12. Disconnect the J 35800-A from the fuel rail.
  13. Reconnect the vehicle fuel pump relay and oil pressure switch connector, if equipped.
  14. Remove the J 37287 , or J 42964-1 and J 42964-2 , or J 42873-1 and J 42873-2 and reconnect the vehicle fuel feed and return lines.

Spark Plug Wire Inspection

Spark plug wire integrity is vital for proper engine operation. A thorough inspection will be necessary to accurately identify conditions that may affect engine operation. Inspect for the following conditions

  1. Any signs of cracks or splits in the wires.
  2. Inspect each boot for the following conditions: Tearing Piercing Arcing Carbon tracking Corroded terminal

If corrosion, carbon tracking, or arcing are indicated on a spark plug wire boot or on a terminal, replace the wire and the component connected to the wire.

  1. Disconnect the spark plug wires at each spark plug: Twist each spark plug boot 1/2 turn. Pull only on the boot in order to remove the wire from each spark plug.
  2. Disconnect the spark plug wires from the ignition coil: Twist each spark plug boot 1/2 turn. Pull only on the boot in order to remove the wires from the ignition coil.
  1. Install the spark plug wires at the ignition coil.
  2. Install the spark plug wire to each spark plug.
  3. Inspect the wires for proper installation: Push sideways on each boot in order to inspect the seating. Reinstall any loose boot.

Spark Plug Usage

  1. Verify that the correct spark plug is installed. An incorrect spark plug causes driveability conditions. Refer to «Ignition System Specifications»(/cadillac/cts/ii-2007-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-and-fuel-62l-specifications__ignition-system-specifications) for the correct spark plug.
  2. Ensure that the spark plug has the correct heat range. An incorrect heat range causes the following conditions: Spark plug fouling - colder plug Pre-ignition causing spark plug and/or engine damage - hotter plug

Spark Plug Inspection

  1. Inspect the terminal post (1) for damage. Inspect for a bent or broken terminal post (1). Test for a loose terminal post (1) by twisting and pulling the post. The terminal post (1) should NOT move.
  2. Inspect the insulator (2) for flashover or carbon tracking, soot. This is caused by the electrical charge traveling across the insulator (2) between the terminal post (1) and ground. Inspect for the following conditions: Inspect the spark plug boot for damage. Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for moisture, such as oil, coolant, or water. A spark plug boot that is saturated causes arcing to ground.
  3. Inspect the insulator (2) for cracks. All or part of the electrical charge may arc through the crack instead of the electrodes (3, 4).
  4. Inspect for evidence of improper arcing. Measure the gap between the center electrode (4) and the side electrode (3) terminals. Refer to «Ignition System Specifications»(/cadillac/cts/ii-2007-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-and-fuel-62l-specifications__ignition-system-specifications) . An excessively-wide electrode gap can prevent correct spark plug operation. Inspect for the correct spark plug torque. Refer to «Ignition System Specifications»(/cadillac/cts/ii-2007-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-and-fuel-62l-specifications__ignition-system-specifications) . Insufficient torque can prevent correct spark plug operation. An over-torqued spark plug, causes the insulator (2) to crack. Inspect for signs of tracking that occurred near the insulator tip instead of the center electrode (4). Inspect for a broken or worn side electrode (3). Inspect for a broken, worn, or loose center electrode (4) by shaking the spark plug. A rattling sound indicates internal damage. A loose center electrode (4) reduces the spark intensity. Inspect for bridged electrodes (3, 4). Deposits on the electrodes reduce or eliminates the gap. Inspect for worn or missing platinum pads on the electrodes (3, 4), if equipped. Inspect for excessive fouling.
  5. Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for debris. Dirty or damaged threads can cause the spark plug not to seat correctly during installation.

Spark Plug Visual Inspection

  1. Normal operation - Brown to grayish-tan with small amounts of white powdery deposits are normal combustion by-products from fuels with additives.
  2. Carbon Fouled - Dry, fluffy black carbon, or soot caused by the following conditions: Rich fuel mixtures Leaking fuel injectors Excessive fuel pressure Restricted air filter element Incorrect combustion Reduced ignition system voltage output Weak coils Worn ignition wires Incorrect spark plug gap Excessive idling or slow speeds under light loads can keep spark plug temperatures so low that normal combustion deposits may not burn off.
  3. Deposit Fouling - Oil, coolant, or additives that include substances such as silicone, very white coating, reduces the spark intensity. Most powdery deposits will not effect spark intensity unless they form into a glazing over the electrode.
