MODEL IDENTIFICATION

INTRODUCTION

To properly diagnose and repair this vehicle, follow DIAGNOSTIC STARTING POINT - ENGINE CONTROLS under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) are present and a no-start condition exists, proceed to NO-START DIAGNOSIS in BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - "C", "G", "H", "K", "N", "S" & "T" SERIES - FLEX FUEL & GASOLINE article. If no DTCs are present and a driveability condition exists, proceed to TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - 4.8L, 5.3L & 6.0L "C", "G", "H", "K", "N", "S" & "T" SERIES - FLEX FUEL & GASOLINE article for diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, ENGINE STALLS, etc.).

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS

PCM is equipped with a self-diagnostic system which detects system failures or abnormalities. When a malfunction occurs, PCM will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and, in most cases, illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) located on instrument cluster.

There are 2 paths for accessing on-board diagnostics. It is necessary to access information through both paths, as each path presents some different information.

1. Generic OBD-II This provides all generic codes and some OEM codes, serial data PIDs required for generic OBD-II and some OEM PIDs, monitor status, pending codes and freeze frame.
2. OEM All DTCs, all PIDs, failure records, enhanced scan tool information and all other OEM scanner functions.

Code Types

There are 3 types of DTC categories

1. Type "A" Emissions related. Illuminates MIL the first time DTC sets.
2. Type "B" Emissions related. Illuminates MIL if fault is active for 2 consecutive driving cycles.
3. Type "C" Non-emissions related. Does not illuminate MIL, but may illuminate a SERVICE light.

Freeze Frame/Failure Records

PCM stores one freeze frame record (failure record "0") for the first failed test that sets a DTC and illuminates MIL. Freeze frame will not be overwritten unless a misfire or fuel trim DTC is set. Failure records are stored when any DTC is set. Six additional failure records can be stored in PCM. Failure records will be stored for all types of codes, whether or not the MIL is illuminated. If more than 6 DTCs are set, oldest DTC is deleted as newest DTC is stored. Typical failure record data includes

1. Air/fuel ratio.
2. Airflow rate.
3. Fuel trim.
4. Engine speed.
5. Engine load.
6. Engine coolant temperature.
7. Vehicle speed.
8. Throttle position angle.
9. Manifold absolute pressure.
10. Injector base pulse width.
11. Loop status.

Monitors

1. Comprehensive Component Monitor Monitors PCM systems for opens, shorts, grounds and out-of-range sensors. Also monitors rationality of sensors. Rationality is whether the sensors value is consistent with the operating conditions of the other sensors.
2. Misfire Monitor Monitors engine misfire using crankshaft sensor to determine location and severity of misfire. A catalyst damaging misfire will flash the MIL, and a non-catalyst damaging misfire is a normal type "B" code.
3. Fuel Trim Monitor Monitors short and long term fuel trim for being at maximum lean or rich limit.
4. Oxygen Sensor Monitor Monitors all oxygen sensors for maximum voltage level, minimum voltage level and lean rich/rich lean switching rate.
5. Oxygen Sensor Heater Monitor Monitors oxygen sensor heater by watching sensor's time-to-activity after a cold start.
6. Catalyst Monitor Monitors catalyst efficiency by comparing activity rate of pre-catalyst oxygen sensor and post-catalyst oxygen sensor.
7. EGR Monitor Monitors operation and flow rate of EGR system.
8. EVAP Monitor Monitors EVAP system for large leaks, small leaks and purge flow.
9. Secondary Air Monitor Monitors secondary air operation.

INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS

Note. Intermittent is a DTC or symptom, with a condition that cannot be duplicated.

Preliminary

Perform the Diagnostic System Check-Engine Controls before starting. See DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ENGINE CONTROLS .

Harness or Connector Intermittents

Many intermittent open or shorted circuits come and go with harness or connector movement caused by the following type conditions

1. Vibration.
2. Engine torque.
3. Bumps or rough pavement.

Test for intermittents by performing the applicable procedure from the following list

1. Move related connectors and wiring while monitoring the appropriate scan tool data.
2. Move related connectors and wiring with the component commanded ON and OFF, with the scan tool. Observe the component operation.
3. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while monitoring engine operation.

Verify whether the harness or connector movement affects any of the following systems

1. Data displayed.
2. Component or system operation.
3. Engine operation.

Repair the components as necessary.

Electrical Connections Or Wiring

1. Intermittents are usually caused by one or more of the following conditions: Poor electrical connections. Terminal tension. Wiring problems.
2. Carefully inspect the suspected circuit for the following conditions: Poor mating of the connector halves. Terminals backed out or not fully seated in the connector body. Improperly formed or damaged terminals. Test for poor terminal tension. Poor terminal-to-wire connections including terminals crimped over insulation. This requires removing the terminal from the connector body. Corrosion or water intrusion. Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring. The conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff sections of wire in the suspect circuits. Wires that are broken inside the insulation. Pinched, cut, or rubbed through wiring in the harness. Wiring that is in contact with hot exhaust components.
3. Repair the condition as necessary.

Control Module Power & Grounds, & Component Power & Grounds

Poor power or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.

1. Test all control module power circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying power to the control module. Other components in the system may have separate power circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module or component connectors, fuses, and any intermediate connections between the power source and the module or component. A test lamp or a Digital Multimeter (DMM) may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of a circuit to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the component. See POWER DISTRIBUTION in appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article in ELECTRICAL.
2. Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the component. See GROUND DISTRIBUTION in appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article in ELECTRICAL.

Temperature Sensitivity

1. An intermittent condition may occur when a component or connection reaches normal operating temperature. The condition may occur only when the component or connection is cold, or only when the connection is hot.
2. The following data may help to diagnose this type of intermittent condition: Freeze Frame/Failure Records. Scan tool snapshot. Vehicle data recorder.
3. If the intermittent is related to heat, review the following data: High ambient temperatures. Underhood or engine generated heat. Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load. Higher than normal load conditions, such as towing.
4. If the intermittent is related to cold, review the following data: Low ambient temperatures. In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or component. Test for water intrusion. The condition only occurs on a cold start. The condition is not present after the vehicle warms up.
5. Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is temperature related.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) & Electrical Noise

Some electrical components or circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other types of electrical noise. Perform the following procedures

1. Inspect for a misrouted harness that is too close to a high voltage or high current device. This condition may induce electrical noise on a circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation. Inspect for wires that are too close to the following devices: Secondary ignition components. Motors. The generator.
2. Determine whether the electrical system interference is caused by a malfunctioning relay, PCM driven solenoid or switch. These components may cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the problem will occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
3. Determine whether non-factory or aftermarket add-on accessories are installed in the vehicle. These accessories may lead to an emission related OBD-II failure. Determine if any of the following non-factory or aftermarket add-on accessories is causing the intermittent: Lights. 2-way radios. Amplifiers. Electric motors. Remote starters. Alarm systems. Cell phones.
4. Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays may contain a clamping diode.
5. Test for proper performance of the generator. See ON-VEHICLE TESTING in appropriate GENERATORS & REGULATORS article in ELECTRICAL.
6. If a DTC is determined to be intermittent, and the tests in this section do not reveal a problem, see «VEHICLE DATA RECORDER»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline__vehicle-data-recorder) .

Incorrect PCM Programming

1. There are only a few situations when reprogramming a PCM is appropriate, such as the following: A new service PCM is installed. A PCM from another vehicle is installed. Revised software or calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
2. Verify that the PCM contains the correct software or calibration. If incorrect programming is found, reprogram the PCM with the most current software or calibration. See «POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline__powertrain-control-module) under PROGRAMMING.

Duplicating Failure Conditions

1. If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate or capture the failure conditions.
2. Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present when the DTC set. Perform the following procedure: Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must also be operating within the Conditions for Running DTC. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling conditions have been satisfied long enough for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
3. An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the Digital Multimeter (DMM) connected to a suspected circuit. An abnormal reading on the DMM when the problem occurs, may help you locate the problem.

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 singly 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 to be investigated further. Refer to the scan tool user instructions for more information on the Snapshot function.

Vehicle Data Recorder

The J 42598 Vehicle Data Recorder is connected to the Data Link Connector (DLC) and sent with the customer. The J 42598 captures data for later retrieval and analysis by the technician. Refer to the vehicle data recorder user instructions for more information.

DIAGNOSTIC STARTING POINT - ENGINE CONTROLS

Diagnosis of computerized engine control system should be performed in the following order

1. Ensure all engine systems not related to computer system are operating properly. DO NOT proceed with testing unless all other problems have been repaired. Diagnostic system check must be performed before using specific DTC testing procedure. See «DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ENGINE CONTROLS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline) .
2. If no DTCs are present and a driveability problem exists, see SYMPTOMS in appropriate TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article. Doing so will help identify proper system or component to check in appropriate SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING article.
3. After necessary repairs are made, clear DTCs, verify vehicle will enter "closed loop" operation and ensure DTC does not reset.

Description

The Diagnostic System Check is an organized approach to identifying a condition that is created by a malfunction in the powertrain control system. The Diagnostic System Check must be the starting point for any driveability concern. The Diagnostic System Check directs the service technician to the next logical step in order to diagnose the concern. Understanding and correctly using the diagnostic table reduces diagnostic time, and prevents the replacement of good parts.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic procedure.

1. 2 Lack of communication may be caused by a partial or a total malfunction of the Class 2 serial data circuit. The specified procedure determines the particular condition.
2. 6 This step stores the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) information into the scan tool's memory. After you complete the diagnostic procedure, review the captured information in order to catch the next DTC if the control module stores multiple DTCs. Review the Freeze Frame data and the Failure Records data. Use this information in order to determine how frequently and how recently the DTC set. This information may help diagnose an intermittent condition. Information about the operating conditions at the time that the DTC set may also help diagnose an intermittent condition. Capturing the stored information saves the data that the PCM loses during the following conditions: When a diagnostic procedures instructs you to clear the DTCs. When a diagnostic procedure instructs you to disconnect the PCM connectors. When a diagnostic procedure instructs you to replace the PCM. See appropriate REMOVAL & INSTALLATION article.
3. 7 The presence of DTCs which begin with "U", indicate that some other module is not communicating. Following the specified procedure will gather all the available information before you perform the tests.
4. 9 If there are other modules with DTCs set, see «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline__diagnostic-trouble-code-definitions) . The DTC list directs you to the appropriate diagnostic procedure. If the control module stores multiple powertrain DTCs, diagnose the DTCs in the following order: Component level DTCs, such as sensor DTCs, solenoid DTCs, and relay DTCs. Diagnose the multiple DTCs within this category in numerical order. Begin with the lowest numbered DTC, unless the diagnostic table directs you otherwise. System level DTCs, for example, misfire DTCs, fuel trim DTCs, and catalyst DTCs.
5. 11 This step is for areas that have inspection and maintenance testing procedures for emissions testing. Use this step if the testing facility found one or more I/M system status that did not set.

Diagnostic Procedure

Note. Do not perform this diagnostic if there is not a driveability concern, unless another procedure directs you to this diagnostic. Before you proceed with diagnosis, search for applicable service bulletins. Unless a diagnostic procedure instructs you, do NOT clear the DTCs. If there is a condition with the starting system, see appropriate STARTERS article in ELECTRICAL. Ensure the battery has a full charge. Ensure the battery cables are clean and tight.

Note. On vehicles that have several control modules connected by serial data circuits, one module is the Power Mode Master (PMM). On vehicles covered in this article, the PMM is the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM uses 3 signals from the ignition switch. These are the Ignition 0, Ignition 1, and Accessory.

Normal vehicle class 2 communications and module operations will not begin until the system power mode has been identified. Discrete wires from the ignition switch contacts are monitored by the BCM in order to determine the correct power mode. The BCM communicates the system power mode to all class 2 modules on the class 2 serial data line.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic procedure.

1. 6 This step tests for battery voltage on the signal circuits that are not required.
2. 7 This step tests for no battery voltage on the required signal circuits.
3. 8 If any ignition switch parameters that should be inactive in the present ignition switch position are active, 2 ignition switch signal circuits may be shorted together.
4. 9 This step eliminates open circuits as the cause of the malfunction.

Note. This procedure is used if the observed vehicle power mode does not match the actual ignition switch position. Open the driver's door and leave it open during this test. This will disable the RAP power mode and eliminate this power mode from the power mode parameter list.

RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

DTCs are retrieved using a Tech 2 scan tool, or other OBD-II compatible scan tool connected to OBD-II 16-pin Data Link Connector (DLC). See DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ENGINE CONTROLS . DLC is located below left side of dash.

CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

There are 3 methods to clear DTCs.

Scan Tool

Scan tool is preferable way to clear DTC information. Freeze frame and failure record data will also be cleared.

Disconnect Battery

Note. On many OBD-II systems, PCM will retain memory for an extended period of time with battery disconnected. Memory may be retained for several days.

Disconnecting PCM power or battery ground will clear all PCM memory including DTCs, freeze frame, failure records, adaptive learning and system monitors.

Warm-up Cycles

If fault that caused DTC to set is repaired, PCM will begin to count warm-up cycles. After 40 consecutive warm-up cycles with no further faults, PCM will automatically clear DTC from memory.

POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE LOCATION

Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is located in left front corner of engine compartment. See COMPONENT LOCATIONS .

CKP SYSTEM VARIATION LEARN PROCEDURE

Note. The Crankshaft Position (CKP) system variation learn procedure is required when the following service procedures have been performed, regardless of whether DTC P0315 is set: CKP sensor replacement. Engine replacement. PCM replacement. Harmonic balancer replacement. Crankshaft replacement. Any engine repairs which disturb the CKP sensor relationship. For additional diagnostic information, see DTC P0315: CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR VARIATION NOT LEARNED .

1. Install a scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC).
2. With a scan tool, monitor the powertrain control module for DTCs. If only DTC P0315 is set, go to next step. If a DTC other than P0315 is set, diagnose that DTC first. See «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline__diagnostic-trouble-code-definitions) .
3. With a scan tool, select the CRANKSHAFT POSITION VARIATION LEARN PROCEDURE.
4. The scan tool instructs you to perform the following: Set parking brake. Block drive wheels. DO NOT apply brake pedal. Observe fuel cut-off for applicable engine. Accelerate to Wide Open Throttle (WOT). Release throttle when fuel cut-off occurs. Engine should not accelerate beyond calibrated RPM value. Release throttle immediately if value is exceeded. Cycle ignition from OFF to ON. Apply and hold brake pedal. Start and idle engine. Turn A/C OFF. Vehicle must remain in Park or Neutral. The scan tool monitors certain component signals to determine if all the conditions are met to continue with the procedure. The scan tool only displays the condition that inhibits the procedure. The scan tool monitors the following components: Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor activity. If there is a CKP sensor condition, refer to the applicable DTC that set. See «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline__diagnostic-trouble-code-definitions) . Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor activity. If there is a CMP sensor condition, refer to the applicable DTC that set. See «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline__diagnostic-trouble-code-definitions) . Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT). If the engine coolant temperature is not warm enough, idle the engine until the engine coolant temperature reaches the correct temperature.

POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE

Note. Service of the PCM should normally consist of either replacement of the PCM or EEPROM programming. If the diagnostic procedures call for the PCM to be replaced, the PCM should be checked first to see if it is the correct part. If it is, remove the faulty PCM and install the new service PCM. The service PCM EEPROM will not be programmed. DTC P0601 and P0602 indicates the EEPROM is not programmed or has malfunctioned.

THEFT DETERRENT PASSWORD LEARN PROCEDURE

Note. The Body Control Module (BCM) must be programmed with the proper RPO configurations before performing learn procedures. See PROGRAMMING in appropriate BODY CONTROL MODULES article. If replacing the BCM with a GM Service Parts Operations (SPO) replacement part, the module will learn Passlock® sensor data code immediately. The existing PCM however, must learn the new fuel continue password when the BCM is replaced. If replacing a PCM with a GM Service Parts Operations (SPO) replacement part, after programming, these modules will learn the incoming fuel continue password immediately upon receipt of a password message. Once a password message is received, and a password is learned, a learn procedure must be performed to change this password again. A PCM which has been previously installed in another vehicle will have learned the other vehicle's fuel continue password and will require a learn procedure after programming to learn the current vehicle's password.

Use this procedure after replacing

1. Passlock® Sensor
2. BCM
3. PCM

10-Minute Learn Procedure

Note. This procedure requires a Tech 2® scan tool and a Techline® terminal with current SPS (Service Programming System) software.

6. Start the engine (the vehicle has now learned the Passlock® Sensor Data Code and/or password).
7. With a scan tool, clear any DTCs if needed (history DTCs will self clear after 100 ignition cycles).

DRIVE CYCLES

See INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE SYSTEM CHECK .

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

Conditions for Updating I/M System Status

Each system requires at least one, and sometimes several, diagnostic tests. The results of these tests are reported by a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). A system monitor is complete when either all of the DTCs comprising the monitor have Run and Passed, or any one of the DTCs comprising the monitor have illuminated the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). Once all of the tests are complete, the I/M System Status display will indicate YES in the Completed column. For example, when the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Heater Test indicates YES, all of the oxygen sensor heaters have been diagnosed. If the vehicle has four heated oxygen sensors, all four heater circuits have been diagnosed. The I/M System Status will indicate NO under the Completed column when any of the required tests for that system have not run. The following is a list of conditions that would set the I/M System Status indicator to NO

1. The vehicle is new from the factory and has not yet been driven through the necessary drive conditions to complete the tests.
2. The battery has been disconnected or discharged below operating voltage.
3. The control module power or ground has been interrupted.
4. The control module has been reprogrammed.
5. The control module DTCs have been cleared as part of a service procedure.

Monitored Emission Control Systems

The OBD-II System monitors all emission control systems that are on-board. Not all vehicles have a full complement of emission control systems. For example, a vehicle may not be equipped with secondary Air Injection (AIR) or Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR). The OBD-II regulations require monitoring of the following

1. Air conditioning system.
2. Catalytic converter efficiency.
3. Comprehensive component monitoring. Emission related inputs and outputs.
4. Evaporative (EVAP) emissions system.
5. Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system.
6. Fuel delivery system.
7. Heated catalyst monitoring.
8. Misfire monitoring.
9. Oxygen sensor system (O2S or HO2S).
10. Oxygen sensor heater system (HO2S heater).
11. Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system.

For the specific DTCs required for each system, see

INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE SYSTEM DTCS

table. Systems such as fuel delivery, misfire, and comprehensive components may not be listed in a system status list. These tests run continuously on some vehicles and may not require an indicator.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic procedure.

1. 1 Any DTCs set, even those that are not listed in the INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE SYSTEM DTCS table, may prevent the required DTCs from running. If there is any question as to whether a set DTC is disabling the required I/M diagnostic, review the Conditions for Running in the diagnostic procedures for the DTC required by the I/M diagnostic. A list of disabling DTCs, if applicable, is contained in the supporting text for that DTC.
2. 2 Anytime a control module is reprogrammed or the diagnostic trouble codes are cleared as part of a repair procedure, all the I/M System Status indicators will reset to NO.
3. 3 Use discretion when determining whether the entire system set procedure needs to be performed. For example, if the only tests that have not run are those that require the engine to be at operating temperature, then only those individual tests need to be run. There is no need to allow the engine to completely cool in order to run these tests.

Procedure

1. Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check-Engine Controls? If yes, go to next step. If no, see «DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ENGINE CONTROLS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline) under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. Repair any DTCs or driveability concerns that would prevent the I/M System Status tests from completing. Did you find and repair a DTC or driveability concern? If yes, go to step 3 . If no, go to next step.
2. Review any service bulletins for software updates that may prevent I/M readiness. Perform any reprogramming or repairs indicated by the service bulletins. Was a reprogramming or repair service required? If yes, see «INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE COMPLETE SYSTEM SET PROCEDURE»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline) . If no, go to next step.
3. With a scan tool, observe the I/M System Status display. Is more than one test indicating a NO status? If yes, see «INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE COMPLETE SYSTEM SET PROCEDURE»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline) . If no, go to the I/M System Set Procedure for the indicated system.

Diagnostic Aids

The I/M System Status display provides an indication of when the control module has completed the required tests. This does not necessarily mean that the test has passed, only that a decision was made. If the diagnostic fails, a DTC will indicate the failure. If a failure indication is present for a DTC associated with one of the I/M regulated systems, the failure indication may prevent other required tests from running. For example, a DTC for the control circuit of the relay controlling an AIR pump may not be listed in the INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE SYSTEM DTCS table because this is a continuous test. If this DTC is set, the Active Tests for the AIR system may not run. The I/M System Status information may be useful for a technician to determine if diagnostics have run when verifying repairs.

The purpose of the I/M Complete System Set Procedure is to satisfy the enable criteria necessary to execute all of the I/M readiness diagnostics, and complete the trips for those particular diagnostics. When all diagnostic tests are complete, the I/M System Status indicators are set to YES. Perform this test when more than one or all of the I/M System Status indicators are set to NO.

Conditions for Running

Cold Start

1. The Barometric (BARO) pressure is more than 74 kPa.
2. The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is below 86°F (30°C).
3. The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) is below 86°F (30°C).
4. The difference between the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) and the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is 14°F (8°C) or less.
5. The battery voltage is between 9-18 volts.
6. The fuel level is between 1/4 and 3/4.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic procedure.

1. 1 Make sure that you perform the Inspection/Maintenance System Check before performing this test. Failure to do so may result in difficulty updating the status to YES.
2. 2 This step runs the HO2S Heater Tests and initiates the EVAP System Test. Preprogramming the scan tool will reduce the amount of time the oxygen sensor heaters operate while verifying the enable criteria. The engine control module considers the engine to be cold if the following conditions are met: Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) less than 86°F (30°C). ECT and Intake Air Temperature (IAT) are within 14°F (8°C) of each other at start-up.
3. 3 This step runs the EVAP, AIR and the Oxygen Sensor Tests. The EVAP Test begins once the engine coolant reaches a calibrated temperature. The AIR Test, if equipped, begins shortly after Closed Loop and the indicated speed is achieved. The Oxygen Sensor Tests begin once the engine is at operating temperature, in Closed Loop fuel control, and a calibrated amount of time has elapsed.
4. 4 This step runs the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Tests. The EGR Tests are run during a gradual deceleration with a closed throttle. The vehicle speed is required in order to maintain a high, steady MAP signal.
5. 5 This step runs the Catalyst Tests. This test runs during the idle period immediately following a cruise period that meets a minimum calibrated RPM and time period.
6. 6 Perform the individual system test for any of the systems that do not update to YES.
7. 7 The I/M System Status only reports on whether or not a diagnostic has run, not the outcome of the test. If any emission related DTC sets after the tests are complete, the DTC will require diagnosis.

1. Did you perform the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Check? If yes, go to next step. If no, see «INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE SYSTEM CHECK»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline) .
2. Preprogram the scan tool with the vehicle information before the ignition is turned ON. Ensure that the vehicle is within the Conditions for Running specified in the supporting text. Turn OFF all of the accessories (e.g., A/C, blower fan, etc.). Set the vehicle parking brake. Verify that the transmission is in Park for automatic transmissions and Neutral for manual transmissions. Start the engine and allow the engine to idle. Allow the engine to idle for 2 minutes. When complete, go to next step.
3. In order for the next group of tests to run, the vehicle must operate in the following conditions: Acceleration at part throttle to 55 MPH with this speed maintained until the engine reaches operating temperature. This may be up to 8-10 minutes depending on the start up coolant temperature. Continued operation under these conditions for an additional 6 minutes. After procedure, go to next step.
4. In order for the next group of tests to run, the vehicle must operate in the following conditions: Vehicle speed reduced to 45 MPH with this speed maintained for one additional minute. Four decelerations of 25 seconds each from 45 MPH while the following criteria is maintained: The throttle is closed. NO brake application on either manual or automatic transmission. NO clutch actuation on a manual transmission. NO manual downshift. The vehicle speed remains above 25 MPH. After each deceleration period, the vehicle is returned to 45 MPH under part throttle acceleration and the speed is maintained for 15 seconds. When complete, go to next step.
5. In order for the next group of tests to run, the vehicle must operate in the following conditions: Acceleration at part throttle to 45-55 MPH with this speed maintained for 2 minutes. Deceleration to 0 MPH. Engine idling for 2 minutes while the following criteria is maintained: Service brake depressed. Automatic transmission in drive. Manual transmission in neutral with the clutch pedal depressed. When complete, go to next step.
6. With a scan tool, observe the I/M System Status display. Did all of the I/M System Status indicators update to YES? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to the I/M System Set Procedure for the indicated systems.
7. With a scan tool, observe the Emission Related DTC portion of the I/M System Status display. Does the scan tool indicate any Emission Related DTCs set? If yes, see «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline__diagnostic-trouble-code-definitions) . If no, system is okay.

Rough road conditions may prevent some of the tests from running. Extreme high or low ambient temperatures may prevent tests such as Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Heater and Evaporative (EVAP) emission System from initiating. If a step is interrupted before completion, perform the remaining portion of the set procedures. Any portion of the set procedure that requires the engine at operating temperature may be repeated. This allows most of the diagnostics to run and the remaining tests can be performed using the individual System Set Procedures. If the vehicle has recently run, start this procedure at step 3 . This will allow the tests that require the engine at operating temperature to run. Using this method allows shorter cool down periods if the tests requiring a cold start do not initiate. The scan tool can be used to monitor each of the I/M System Status indicators during the I/M Complete System Set Procedure. When all of the indicators for a test step have updated to YES, testing can move on to the next step even if the remaining portion of the test is not complete. For example, step 3 is designed to run the EVAP, secondary Air Injection (AIR), and HO2S tests. The procedure instructs the technician to operate the vehicle in the enable conditions for 6 minutes. If all 3 tests have updated to YES within 4 minutes, it is not necessary to continue with the enable conditions and testing can advance to the next step.

INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE SYSTEM DTCS

The purpose of this test is to satisfy the enable criteria necessary to execute Inspection/Maintenance readiness diagnostics for the catalyst system. The test may be used to set the I/M System Status indicators to YES. Ensure that the vehicle meets the requirements listed in Conditions for Running before performing this test. Failure to meet the necessary requirements may produce inaccurate test results.

1. The Barometric (BARO) pressure is more than 74 kPa.
2. The engine coolant is at operating temperature, 160-248°F (71-120°C).
3. The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) is between 5-167°F (-15-75°C).
4. The engine is in Closed Loop fuel control.
5. The engine has run for 6-8 minutes off idle in order to initiate test.
6. The battery voltage is between 11-18 volts.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic procedure.

1. 1 Make sure that you perform the Inspection/Maintenance System Check before performing this test. Failure to do so may result in difficulty updating the status to YES.
2. 2 Perform the Catalyst Test during the idle period immediately following the cruise period.
3. 3 This step identifies a first failure of a type "B" DTC. A DTC only appears on the I/M System Status display when the DTC becomes a MIL illuminating DTC. This occurs on the second failure of a type "B" DTC. A first failure of a type "B" DTC will not allow the I/M System Status to update to YES. See «DIAGNOSTIC AIDS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline) .
4. 4 This step helps identify any unique or unusual criteria required to run the diagnostic test if the universal set procedure does not. This information is located in Conditions for Running DTC.
5. 5 The I/M System Status only reports on whether or not a diagnostic has run, not the outcome of the test. If any Emission Related DTC sets after the tests are complete, the DTC will require diagnosis.

1. Did you perform the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Check? If yes, go to next step. If no, see «INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE SYSTEM CHECK»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline) .
2. Ensure the vehicle is within the Conditions for Running specified in the supporting text. Turn OFF all of the accessories (e.g., A/C, blower fan, etc.). Start the engine and allow the engine to idle. For this test to run, the vehicle must operate in the following conditions: Acceleration at part throttle to 55 MPH with this speed maintained for 8 minutes. Deceleration to 0 MPH. Engine idling for 2 minutes while the following criteria is maintained: Service brake depressed. Automatic transmission in Drive. Manual transmission in Neutral with the clutch pedal depressed. With a scan tool, observe the I/M System Status display. Did the Catalyst System Status update to YES? If yes, go to step 5 . If no, go to next step.
3. With a scan tool, observe the DTC Information. Does the scan tool indicate any failed DTCs? If yes, see «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline__diagnostic-trouble-code-definitions) . If no, go to next step.
4. To determine which DTCs are required to run in order to complete this test, see «INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE SYSTEM DTCS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline) table. With a scan tool, observe the NOT RAN SINCE CODE CLEARED display. Determine which of the DTCs required for a YES status has not run. Enter the DTC number in the Specific DTC menu of the scan tool. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running DTC. Repeat the procedure until the scan tool indicates the diagnostic test has run. Repeat procedure for any additional required DTCs that have not run. With a scan tool, observe the I/M System Status display. Did the Catalyst System Status update to YES? If yes, go to next step. If no, see «DIAGNOSTIC AIDS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline) .
5. With a scan tool, observe the Emission Related DTC portion of the I/M System Status display. Does the scan tool indicate any Emission Related DTCs set? If yes, see «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline__diagnostic-trouble-code-definitions) . If no, system is okay.

The control module runs a maximum of 6 tests per trip until the Catalyst System Status updates to YES. If the status does not update, the test outlined in this procedure can be repeated until the I/M System Status updates to YES. The I/M System Status does not indicate whether the test has passed or failed, only that a decision was made. When all of the diagnostics for a specific system have run and passed, the I/M System Status will update to YES. If a test for a specific system has failed, the I/M System Status will update to YES, indicating a determination was made, even if all of the required tests have not run. When a failure occurs, the Emission Related DTC portion of the I/M System Status display will indicate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is requested. The I/M System Status also registers the number of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). The first failure of a type "B" DTC does not constitute a final determination of pass or fail, and will not update the I/M System Status to YES. A second trip is required, and all the conditions to run must be met in order for the test to run again. These conditions may include a partial to complete engine cool down. The I/M System Status will update only when an emission related DTC fails the second time, or when all of the tests pass. If there is an impending failure, the system may require more time to run the diagnostic than was allotted in the set procedure. If the test does not run after numerous attempts and no DTC is set, review the appropriate scan tool data list and the service information for an indication of why the test does not complete. Some tests may abort due to changes in the conditions while the test is running. For example, changes in engine load, such as a cooling fan or an A/C compressor clutch turning ON, may cause the test to abort. If a diagnostic test is difficult to run, observe the I/M System Status display while maintaining the necessary enable conditions until the system status updates to YES.

The purpose of this test is to satisfy the enable criteria necessary in order to execute the I/M readiness diagnostics for the Evaporative (EVAP) emission system. The test may be used in order to set the I/M System Status indicators to YES. The I/M System Status Display on the scan tool provides an indication of when the control module has completed the required tests. The I/M System Status does not indicate that the tests have passed or failed. When all of the diagnostics for a specific system have run and passed and I/M System Status will update to YES. If a test for a specific system has failed, the I/M System Status will update to YES, indicating a determination was made, even if all of the other tests for that system have not run. Performing a visual inspection prior to running the EVAP test may prevent having to repeat the test. A failed or aborted test will require the vehicle to cool down in order to meet the enable criteria to run another test.

1. DTCs P0442, P0446, P0455, P0496 are not set.
2. The barometric pressure is more than 75 kPa.
3. The fuel level is between 1/4 and 3/4.
4. The battery voltage is between 10-18 volts.
5. The test will initiate only after a cold start. The control module considers the engine to be cold if the following conditions are met: The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is between 39-86°F (3.8-30.0°C). The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) is between 39-86°F (3.8-30.0°C). The difference between the ECT and the IAT is less than 14°F (8°C).

1. Did you perform the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Check? If yes, go to next step. If no, see «INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE SYSTEM CHECK»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline) .
2. Ensure that the vehicle is within the Conditions for Running specified in the supporting text. Turn OFF all of the accessories (e.g., A/C, blower fan, etc.). Start the engine and idle. To run this test, the vehicle must operate in the following conditions: Acceleration at part throttle to 45 MPH with this speed maintained until the engine reaches operating temperature. This may be up to 8-10 minutes depending on the start up coolant temperature. Continue the operating conditions for an additional 3 minutes after the engine reaches operating temperature. Deceleration to 0 MPH. Engine idling for 2 minutes. Turn OFF the ignition for one hour. After one hour, turn ON the ignition. Using scan tool, observe EVAP system status. Did the EVAP System Status update to YES? If yes, go to step 5 . If no, go to next step.
3. With a scan tool, observe the DTC Information. Does the scan tool indicate any failed DTCs? If yes, see «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline__diagnostic-trouble-code-definitions) . If no, go to next step.
4. To determine which DTCs are required to run in order to complete this test, see «INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE SYSTEM DTCS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline) table. With a scan tool, observe the NOT RAN SINCE CODE CLEARED display. Determine which of the DTCs required for a YES status has not run. Enter the DTC number in the Specific DTC menu of the scan tool. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running DTC. Repeat the procedure until the scan tool indicates the diagnostic test has run. Repeat this procedure for any additional required DTCs that have not run. With a scan tool, observe the I/M System Status display. Did the EVAP System Status update to YES? If yes, go to next step. If no, see «DIAGNOSTIC AIDS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline) .
5. With a scan tool, observe the Emission Related DTC portion of the I/M System Status display. Does the scan tool indicate any Emission Related DTCs set? If yes, see «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline__diagnostic-trouble-code-definitions) . If no, system is okay.

If there is an impending failure, the system may require more time to run the diagnostic than was allotted in the set procedure. If the test does not run after numerous attempts and no DTC is set, review the appropriate scan tool data list and the service information for an indication of why the test does not complete. Some tests may abort due to changes in the conditions while the test is running. For example, changes in engine load such as cooling fan or an A/C compressor clutch turning ON may cause the test to abort.

The purpose of this test is to satisfy the enable criteria necessary to execute I/M readiness diagnostics for the oxygen sensor (O2S, HO2S) system. The test may be used to set the I/M System Status to YES. The I/M System Status display on the scan tool provides an indication of whether the control module has completed the required tests. The I/M System Status does not indicate that the tests have passed or failed. When all of the diagnostics for a specific system have run and passed, the I/M System Status will update to YES. If a test for a specific system has failed, the I/M System Status will update to YES, indicating a determination was made, even if all of the other tests for that system have not run. Ensure the vehicle meets the requirements listed in Conditions for Running before performing this test. Failure to meet the necessary requirements may produce inaccurate test results.

1. The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is more than 135°F (57°C).
2. The engine is running in Closed Loop fuel control.
3. The engine has been running for more than 160 seconds.
4. The battery voltage is between 9-18 volts.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the procedure.

1. 1 Make sure that you perform the Inspection/Maintenance System Check before performing this test. Failure to do so may result in difficulty updating the status to YES.
2. 2 The oxygen sensor tests begin shortly after the indicated speed is achieved. The engine RPM may be too low in overdrive on manual transmission vehicles. If difficulty is encountered updating the status, operate the vehicle in the recommended gear during the test.
3. 3 This step identifies a first failure of a type "B" DTC. A DTC only appears on the I/M System Status display when the DTC becomes a MIL illuminating DTC. This occurs on the second failure of a type "B" DTC. A first failure of a type "B" DTC will not allow the I/M System Status to update to YES. See «DIAGNOSTIC AIDS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline) .
4. 4 This step helps identify any unique or unusual criteria required to run the diagnostic test if the universal set procedure does not. This information is located in Conditions for Running DTC.
5. 5 The I/M System Status only reports on whether or not a diagnostic has run, not the outcome of the test. If any Emission Related DTC sets after the tests are complete, the DTC will require diagnosis.

1. Did you perform the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Check? If yes, go to next step. If no, see «INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE SYSTEM CHECK»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline) .
2. Ensure that the vehicle is within the Conditions for Running specified in the supporting text. Turn OFF all of the accessories (e.g., A/C, blower fan, etc.). Start the engine and allow it to idle. To run this test, the vehicle must operate in the following conditions: Acceleration at part throttle to 45-55 MPH with this speed maintained for 6 minutes or until the I/M System Status updates to YES. Manual transmissions, either 5 or 6 speed, may require operation in 4th or 5th gear respectively, in order for this test to run. With a scan tool, review the I/M System Status display.

5. With a scan tool, observe the Emission Related DTC portion of the I/M System Status display. Does the scan tool indicate any Emission Related DTCs set? If yes, see «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline__diagnostic-trouble-code-definitions) . If no, system is okay.

If the status does not update, the test outlined in this procedure can be repeated until the I/M System Status updates to YES. The I/M System Status does not indicate whether the test has passed or failed, only that a decision was made. When all of the diagnostics for a specific system have run and passed, the I/M System Status will update to YES.

If no, system is okay.

The HO2S Heater Tests will normally run within the 2 minutes allotted in the procedure. If there is an indeterminate condition, the test may take up to 8 minutes on some vehicles before a decision of pass or fail is made. If the test does not update within the allotted period of time, continue operation within the enable conditions until the test updates to YES. If the test does not update to YES, it may have failed or aborted due to the loss of enabling conditions. Extremely high ambient temperatures may prevent the HO2S Heater Test from initiating. The I/M System Status does not indicate whether the test has passed or failed, only that a decision was made. When all of the diagnostics for a specific system have run and passed, the I/M System Status will update to YES. If a test for a specific system has failed, the I/M System Status will update to YES, indicating a determination was made, even if all of the required tests have not run. When a failure occurs, the Emission Related DTC portion of the I/M System Status display will indicate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is requested.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP INOPERATIVE

Note. For circuit reference, see WIRING DIAGRAMS article.

Ignition voltage is supplied to the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) turns the MIL ON by grounding the MIL control circuit. There should be a steady MIL with the ignition ON and the engine OFF.

MIL Operation

The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is located on the instrument panel.

MIL Function

1. The MIL informs the driver that a malfunction has occurred and the vehicle should be taken in for service as soon as possible.
2. The MIL illuminates during a bulb test and a system test.
3. A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be stored if a MIL is requested by the PCM.

MIL Illumination

1. The MIL will illuminate with the ignition ON and the engine not running.
2. The MIL will turn OFF when the engine is started.
3. The MIL will remain ON if the self-diagnostic system has detected a malfunction.
4. The MIL may turn OFF if the malfunction is not present.
5. If the MIL is illuminated and then the engine stalls, the MIL will remain illuminated so long as the ignition switch is ON.
6. If the MIL is not illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will not illuminate until the ignition switch is cycled OFF, then ON.

The number below refers to the step number in the diagnostic procedure.

1. 4 This step tests for a short to voltage on the MIL control circuit. With the fuse removed there should be no voltage on the MIL control circuit.

1. Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check-Engine Controls? If yes, go to next step. If no, see «DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ENGINE CONTROLS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline) under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
2. Verify whether the instrument cluster is operational. If the Instrument Panel (IP) is completely inoperative, see appropriate ANALOG INSTRUMENT PANELS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. Command the MIL ON and OFF with a scan tool. Does the MIL turn ON and OFF when commanded with a scan tool? If yes, problem is intermittent. See «INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline__intermittent-conditions) under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If no, go to next step.
3. Inspect the fuse that supplies ignition voltage to the cluster. Is the fuse open? If yes, go to step 11 . If no, go to next step.
4. Turn OFF the ignition. Remove the fuse that supplies voltage to the cluster. Disconnect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) harness connectors. See «COMPONENT LOCATIONS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline) . Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. Measure the voltage from the MIL control circuit in the PCM harness connector to a good ground. Is the voltage less than .3 volt? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to step 11 .
5. Turn OFF the ignition. Install the fuse that supplies voltage to the cluster. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the MIL control circuit in the PCM harness connector and a good ground. Is the MIL illuminated? If yes, go to step 9 . If no, go to next step.
6. Turn OFF the ignition. Remove the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). See appropriate ANALOG INSTRUMENT PANELS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. Turn ON the ignition. Probe the MIL battery positive voltage circuit at the IPC harness connector with a test lamp connected to a good ground. Does the test lamp illuminate? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to step 12 .
7. Test the MIL control circuit for an open or high resistance between the PCM and the IPC and repair as necessary. Did you find and correct the condition? If yes, go to step 15 . If no, go to next step.
8. Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the IPC and repair as necessary. Did you find and correct the condition? If yes, go to step 15 . If no, go to step 13 .
9. Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the PCM and repair as necessary. Did you find and correct the condition? If yes, go to step 15 . If no, go to step 14 .
10. Repair the short to ground in the MIL battery positive voltage circuit. Replace the fuse. After repairs, go to step 15 .
11. Repair the short to voltage in the MIL control circuit. After repairs, go to step 15 .
12. Repair the open in the ignition voltage circuit. After repairs, go to step 15 .
13. Repair or replace the IPC. See appropriate ANALOG INSTRUMENT PANELS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. After repairs, go to step 15 .
14. Replace the PCM. See appropriate REMOVAL, OVERHAUL & INSTALLATION article. Reprogram PCM. See «POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline__powertrain-control-module) under PROGRAMMING. After repairs, go to next step.
15. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds. Does the vehicle operate correctly, without any MIL illumination and without any stored DTCs? If yes, system is okay.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP ALWAYS ON

Note. For circuit reference, see WIRING DIAGRAMS article.

Battery positive voltage is supplied directly to the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) turns the MIL ON by grounding the MIL control circuit.

The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is located on the instrument panel.

MIL Function

1. The MIL informs the driver that a malfunction has occurred and the vehicle should be taken in for service as soon as possible.
2. The MIL illuminates during a bulb test and a system test.
3. A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be stored if a MIL is requested by the diagnostic.

MIL Illumination

1. The MIL will illuminate with the ignition ON and the engine not running.
2. The MIL will turn OFF when the engine is started.
3. The MIL will remain ON if the self-diagnostic system has detected a malfunction.
4. The MIL may turn OFF if the malfunction is not present.
5. If the MIL is illuminated and then the engine stalls, the MIL will remain illuminated so long as the ignition switch is ON.
6. If the MIL is not illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will not illuminate until the ignition switch is cycled OFF, then ON.

The number below refers to the step number in the diagnostic procedure.

1. 2 This step determines if the condition is with the MIL control circuit or the PCM.

1. Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check-Engine Controls? If yes, go to next step. If no, see «DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ENGINE CONTROLS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline) under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
2. Turn OFF the ignition. Disconnect the PCM. See «COMPONENT LOCATIONS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline) . Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Observe the MIL. Is the MIL illuminated? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to step 5 .
3. Remove the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). See appropriate ANALOG INSTRUMENT PANELS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. Test the MIL control circuit for a short to ground between the PCM and the IPC. Did you find and correct the condition? If yes, go to step 6 . If no, go to next step.
4. Repair or replace the IPC. See appropriate ANALOG INSTRUMENT PANELS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. After repairs, go to step 6 .
5. Replace the PCM. See appropriate REMOVAL & INSTALLATION article. Reprogram PCM. See «POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline__powertrain-control-module) under PROGRAMMING. After repairs, go to next step.
6. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds. Does the vehicle operate correctly, without any MIL illumination and without any stored DTCs? If yes, system is okay. If no, see «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline__diagnostic-trouble-code-definitions) .

If the problem is intermittent, see INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.

DIAGNOSTIC TESTS

Note. Before clearing DTCs, perform powertrain diagnostic system check. See DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ENGINE CONTROLS under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. Record FREEZE FRAME and FAILURE RECORDS for reference during testing. Data will be erased when DTCs are cleared. If PCM is replaced, NEW PCM must be programmed using special manufacturer's equipment. See POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE under PROGRAMMING.

DTC P0101: MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR PERFORMANCE

Note. To locate components, see COMPONENT LOCATIONS . For circuit reference, see WIRING DIAGRAMS . For connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . If an intermittent condition exists, see INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If testing requires component removal or replacement, see appropriate REMOVAL & INSTALLATION article.

The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor is an air flow meter that measures the amount of air entering the engine. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses the MAF sensor signal in order 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. A large quantity of air entering the engine indicates an acceleration or high load condition. The MAF sensor has an ignition 1 voltage circuit, a ground circuit, and a signal circuit. The PCM applies a voltage to the sensor on the signal circuit. The sensor uses the voltage in order to produce a frequency based on inlet air flow through the sensor bore. The frequency varies within a range of around 2,000 Hertz at idle to about 10,000 Hertz at maximum engine load. The PCM uses the following sensor inputs in order to calculate a predicted MAF value

1. The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP).
2. The Intake Air Temperature (IAT).
3. Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT).
4. The engine speed (RPM).

The PCM compares the actual MAF sensor frequency signal to the predicted MAF value. This comparison will determine if the signal is stuck based on a lack of variation, or is too low or too high for a given operating condition. DTC P0101 sets if the actual MAF sensor frequency signal is not within a predetermined range of the calculated MAF value.

Conditions For Running DTC

1. DTCs P0102, P0103, P0106, P0107, P0108, P0120, P0220, P0442, P0443, P0446, P0449, P0455, P0496, P2135 are not set.
2. The engine is cranking or running.
3. The ignition 1 signal is between 11 volts and 18 volts.
4. The Throttle Position (TP) sensor angle is less than 95 percent.
5. The change in the TP sensor angle is less than 5 percent.
6. The MAP sensor is more than 17 kPa.
7. The change in the MAP sensor is less than 3 kPa.
8. The above conditions are met for 1.5 seconds.

Conditions For Setting DTC

The PCM detects that the actual MAF sensor frequency signal is not within a predetermined range of the calculated MAF value for more than 4 seconds.

Action Taken When DTC Sets

1. The control module illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
2. The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.

Conditions For Clearing MIL/DTC

1. The control module turns OFF the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
2. A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
3. A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
4. Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.

Inspect for the following conditions

1. An incorrectly routed harness. Inspect the harness of the MAF sensor in order to verify that it is not routed too close to the following components: The secondary ignition wires or coils. Any solenoids. Any relays. Any motors.
2. A low minimum air rate through the sensor bore may cause this DTC to set at idle or during deceleration. Inspect for any vacuum leaks downstream of the MAF sensor.
3. Inspect for any contamination or debris on the sensing elements of the MAF sensor.
4. Inspect the air induction system for any water intrusion. Any water that reaches the MAF sensor will skew the sensor and may cause this DTC to set.
5. A wide open throttle acceleration from a stop should cause the MAF sensor g/s display on the scan tool to increase rapidly. This increase should be from 3-10 g/s at idle to 170 g/s or more at the time of the 1-2 shift. If the increase is not observed, inspect for a restriction in the induction system or the exhaust system.
6. A high resistance of 15 ohms or more on the ignition 1 voltage circuit may cause this DTC to set. A high resistance may cause a driveability concern before this DTC sets.
7. The barometric pressure that is used in order to calculate the predicted mass air flow value is initially based on the MAP sensor at key ON. When the engine is running, the MAP sensor value is continually updated near wide open throttle. A skewed MAP sensor will cause the calculated mass air flow value to be inaccurate. The value shown for the MAP sensor display varies with the altitude. With the ignition ON and the engine OFF, 103 kPa is the approximate value near sea level. This value will decrease by approximately 3 kPa for every 1000 feet (305 meters) of altitude.
8. A high resistance on the 5-volt reference circuit of the MAP sensor may cause this DTC to set.
9. A high resistance on the low reference circuit of the MAP sensor may cause this DTC to set.
10. If the condition is intermittent, see «INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-48l-53l-60l-flex-fuel-gasoline__intermittent-conditions) under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic procedure.

1. 5 This step will determine if the MAP sensor pressure is within the proper range for a given altitude.
2. 6 This step will determine if the MAP sensor voltage is within the proper range at idle.
3. 7 This step will determine if the MAP sensor responds properly to the change in manifold pressure.
4. 8 This step will determine if the TP sensors are operating properly.
5. 9 This step will determine if any mechanical faults have caused this DTC to set.
6. 10 This voltage drop test will determine if high resistance has caused this DTC to set.

The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is a variable resistor, sometimes called a thermistor. The IAT sensor has a signal circuit and a low reference circuit. The IAT sensor measures the temperature of the air entering the engine. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) supplies 5 volts to the IAT signal circuit. When the IAT sensor is cold, the sensor resistance is high. When the air temperature increases, the sensor resistance lowers. With high sensor resistance, the PCM detects a high voltage on the IAT signal circuit. With lower sensor resistance, the PCM detects a lower voltage on the IAT signal circuit. If the PCM detects an excessively high IAT signal voltage, indicating a low temperature, DTC P0113 sets.

The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the engine coolant. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) supplies 5 volts to the signal circuit and a ground for the ECT low reference circuit. When the ECT is low, the sensor resistance is high. When the ECT is high, the sensor resistance is low. The PCM uses this high side coolant rationality test to determine if the ECT input is skewed high. The internal clock of the PCM will record the amount of time the ignition is OFF. At restart the PCM will compare the temperature difference between the ECT and the Intake Air Temperature (IAT). Before failing this test the PCM will perform a calculation to determine the presence of a block heater. If the PCM detects that the temperature difference is not within the calibrated range after the ignition OFF time, DTC P0116 sets.

Heated Oxygen Sensor (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. The HO2S must reach operating temperature to provide an accurate voltage signal. Heating elements inside the HO2S minimize the time required for the sensors to reach operating temperature. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) supplies the HO2S with a reference, or bias, voltage of about 450 mV. When the engine is first started the PCM operates in open loop, ignoring the HO2S voltage signal. Once the HO2S reaches operating temperature and closed loop is achieved, the HO2S generates a voltage within a range of 0-1000 mV that fluctuates above and below bias voltage. High HO2S voltage indicates a rich exhaust stream; low HO2S voltage indicates a lean exhaust stream.

Note. For HO2S identification (Scheme 148)

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. The HO2S must reach operating temperature to provide an accurate voltage signal. Heating elements inside the HO2S minimize the time required for the sensors to reach operating temperature. the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) supplies the HO2S with a reference, or bias, voltage of about 450 mV. When the engine is first started the PCM operates in open loop, ignoring the HO2S voltage signal. Once the HO2S reaches operating temperature and closed loop is achieved, the HO2S generates a voltage within a range of 0-1000 mV that fluctuates above and below bias voltage. High HO2S voltage indicates a rich exhaust stream; low HO2S voltage indicates a lean exhaust stream. This diagnostic will only run once per ignition cycle. The PCM monitors the rich-to-lean and lean-to-rich transition time. A transition is defined as, the HO2S voltage changes from above 625 mV to below 250 mV or from below 250 mV to above 652 mV.

Note. To locate components, see COMPONENT LOCATIONS . For circuit reference, see WIRING DIAGRAMS . For connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . If an intermittent condition exists, see INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If testing requires component removal or replacement, see appropriate REMOVAL & INSTALLATION article.

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses information from the IAT and the ECT sensors to determine ambient temperature at cold start-up. Alcohol content (percentage) information is supplied to the PCM fro the fuel composition sensor. This information is used by the technician in diagnosing symptom related complaints such as hard starting in cold ambient temperatures. The PCM monitors the fuel frequency during the first 30 seconds of run time. When the PCM detects alcohol content that is too high for a given ambient temperature, this DTC sets.

The ECT and IAT have less than 8°F (4.5°C) difference at cold start up.

If the fuel composition is above the given threshold for the ambient temperature, for 25 seconds of the 30 second interval.

1. The control module stores the DTC in history after the first failure but will not illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).
2. The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores the failure information in the scan tool Freeze Frame and Failure Records.

1. A history DTC will clear if no fault conditions have been detected for 40 warm-up cycles.
2. A warm-up cycle occurs when the coolant temperature has risen 40°F (22°C) from the start-up coolant temperature and the engine coolant temperature exceeds 160°F (70°C) during the same ignition cycle.
3. Use the scan tool Clear Information function.

1. The system is designed for use of regular unleaded fuel to any ethanol concentration up to 85 percent (E85).
2. When the ambient temperature drops below 14°F (-10°C), a winter blend of 70 percent (E70), or less is recommended for cold weather starting.
3. The use of methanol fuels may set this DTC.
4. Use of methanol fuel or high concentration of ethanol may cause DTCs P0169 and P0179 to set.
5. Other contamination such as water and salts may cause this DTC to set.

The table below shows the maximum thresholds of a given ethanol content (percentage) versus the ambient temperature at which a DTC P0169 will set. See ETHANOL CONTENT VS. AMBIENT TEMPERATURE .

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) controls the air/fuel metering system in order to provide the best possible combination of driveability, fuel economy, and emission control. Fuel delivery is controlled differently during Open and Closed Loop. During Open Loop, the PCM determines fuel delivery based on sensor signals without oxygen sensor (O2S) input. During Closed Loop, the O2S inputs are added and used by the PCM to calculate short and long term fuel trim fuel delivery adjustments. If the O2S indicate a lean condition, fuel trim values will be above 0 percent. If the O2S indicate a rich condition, fuel trim values will be below 0 percent. Short term fuel trim values change rapidly in response to the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) voltage signals. Long term fuel trim makes coarse adjustment s in order to maintain an air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1. If the PCM detects an excessively lean condition, DTC P0171 or P0174 sets.

Alcohol content and fuel temperature information is supplied to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) from the Fuel Composition Sensor (FCS). The FCS has an ignition 1 circuit, a signal circuit, and a ground circuit. The FCS uses a microprocessor inside the sensor to measure the ethanol percentage and fuel temperature, and changes output signals accordingly. The signal circuit carries both the ethanol percentage, and the fuel temperature within the same signal. The signal is both variable frequency and variable pulse width. The frequency signal indicated the ethanol percentage, and the pulse width indicates fuel temperature. The PCM provides an internal pull up to 5 volts on the signal circuit, and the FCS pulls the 5 volts to ground in pulses. The normal range of operating frequency is between 50-150 hertz. The normal pulse width ranges between 1-5 milliseconds. If the PCM detects a signal less than 45 hertz DTC P0178 will set.

1. The engine run time is more than 30 seconds.
2. The ignition voltage is more than 10.9 volts.

The FCS frequency is below 45 Hz for 12.5 seconds.

The hertz and millisecond parameters react immediately to any change in the FCS circuits, but may not react long enough to set this DTC.

A reading of 16 hertz in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records indicates a circuit failure.

An intermittent condition may not be detected because the sensor does not immediately power down and the connection may be restored before voltage drops below the operating threshold.

If this DTC will not reset and the parameters are steady, thoroughly inspect all FCS circuits for an intermittent open.

The Knock Sensor (KS) system enables the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to control the ignition timing for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from potentially damaging levels of detonation. The system uses 2 KS located under the intake manifold. KS 1 is located at the front of the engine. KS 2 is located at the back of the engine. Each KS produces and AC voltage that varies depending on the vibration level during engine operation. The PCM adjusts the spark timing based on the amplitude and frequency of the KS signal. The PCM used each KS signal to calculated an average voltage range value. If the KS system is operating normally, the PCM should monitor the KS voltage varying above and below the voltage range. If the PCM detects the KS signal voltage within the voltage range, or the KS signal is not present, a DTC will set. DTC P0327 refers to the front KS. DTC P0332 refers to the rear KS.

The camshaft position (CMP) sensor works in conjunction with a 1 X reluctor wheel on the camshaft. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) provides a 12-volt reference to the CMP sensor as well as a low reference and a signal circuit.

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 1 X signal is used by the PCM to determine if the cylinder is at Top Dead Center (TDC) is on the firing stroke or the exhaust stroke.

The PCM controls each coil using one of 8 Ignition Control (IC) circuits. The PCM commands the IC circuit low when a spark event is requested.

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 by converting the NOx to nitrogen. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors this process using Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) bank 1 sensor 2. HO2S bank 1 sensor 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 catalyst's ability to convert exhaust emissions effectively. If the catalyst is functioning correctly, the HO2S bank 1 HO2S 2 signal will be far less active than that produced by HO2S bank 1 sensor 1. This indicates that the three-way catalytic converters oxygen storage capacity is operating at a threshold considered acceptable. The PCM performs this diagnostic test at idle. When the conditions for running this DTC are met, the following occurs

1. The PCM captures the current rear HO2S rich-to-lean status.
2. The air/fuel ratio transitions from rich to lean or lean to rich depending on the capture rear HO2S rich to lean status.
3. The air/fuel ratio transitions a second time opposite the first air/fuel ratio transition.
4. The PCM captures the response time, the time the HO2S goes from below 300 mV to above 600 mV and from 600 mV to below 300 mV, of the front and rear HO2S when the air/fuel ratio transitions occur. The HO2S response time goes from less than 300 mV to more than 600 mV, and from more than 600 mV to less than 300 mV.
5. The PCM measures the time necessary for the rear HO2S voltage to cross a reference rich-to-lean threshold, minus the time necessary for the front HO2S voltage to cross the same rich-to-lean threshold. The difference between the front HO2S time and the rear HO2S time is the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst. This DTC sets if the time exceeds a predetermined threshold.

This diagnostic tests the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) system for a small leak when the key is turned OFF and the correct conditions are met.

Heat is transferred into a vehicle fuel tank while the vehicle is operating. When the vehicle is turned OFF, a change in the fuel tank vapor temperature occurs, which may result in corresponding pressure changes in the fuel vapor space. This change is monitored by the control module using the fuel tank pressure sensor input. The control module then makes a judgement on the integrity of the system.

The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located on the instrument panel cluster (IPC). The MIL informs the driver than an emission system fault has occurred and that the engine control system requires service. The control module monitors the MIL control circuit for conditions that are incorrect for the commanded start of the MIL. For example, a failure condition exists if the control module detects low voltage when the MIL is commanded OFF, or high voltage when the MIL is commanded ON. If the control module detects an improper voltage on the MIL control circuit, DTC P0650 will set.

The engine is running.

Note. For HO2S identification (Scheme 148)

Heated Oxygen Sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel control and post catalyst monitoring. Each HO2S compared the oxygen content of the surrounding air with the oxygen content in the exhaust stream. The HO2S must reach operating temperature to provide an accurate voltage signal. Heating elements inside the HO2S minimize the time required for the sensors to reach operating temperature. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) supplies the HO2S with a reference, or bias, voltage of about 450 mV. When the engine is first started the PCM operates in open loop, ignoring the HO2S voltage signal. Once the HO2S reaches operating temperature and closed loop is achieved, the HO2S generates a voltage within a range of 0-1000 mV that fluctuates above and below bias voltage. High HO2S voltage indicates a rich exhaust stream; low HO2S voltage indicates a lean exhaust stream. This diagnostic will only run once per ignition cycle. The PCM monitors the number or rich-to-lean and lean-to-rich transitions. A transition is defined as, the HO2S voltage changes fro above 625 mV to below 250 mV or from below 250 mV to above 625 mV. If the PCM detects that the number or transitions were less than a specified value, DTCs P1133 or P1153 will set.

Wheel speed changes caused by rough road conditions can cause changes in crankshaft speed. By monitoring the wheel speed sensors, the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) can determine if the vehicle is operating on a rough road. If the ABS is detecting a rough road condition severe enough to effect misfire detection, a rough road signal is sent to the PCM on the serial data circuit. If DTC P0300 is set and the rough road information is not available due to an ABS malfunction, DTC P1380 will set.

3. If the TAC module ignition feed circuit is shorted to a battery voltage supply circuit. The TAC module stays powered-up when the ignition switch is turned OFF. When the ignition switch is turned ON, the TAC module is powered-up before the PCM. DTC P1518 sets because no communication is detected by the TAC module from the PCM. Inspect related circuits for being shorted to a battery voltage supply circuit.

Inspect the TAC module power and ground circuits and the TAC module/PCM serial data circuits for intermittent connections.

Depending on the polarity of the throttle actuator motor transistors, this DTC may not set with a fault in the control circuits. The throttle actuator motor is a bi-directional DC motor. Raising the engine speed changes the polarity of the transistors in the throttle actuator motor. This occurs because 1 set of the transistors are low, 0 volts, and the other set are high, battery voltage. Therefore, if 1 set of transistors are at a low voltage and the corresponding circuit is shorted low, DTC P1518 will not set. When the polarity of the transistors change this DTC sets. If this DTC does not Fail This ignition, continue to monitor this DTC status while moving related harnesses and connectors.

DTC P2121: APP SENSOR CIRCUITS OUT OF CORRELATION

Note. To locate components, see COMPONENT LOCATIONS . For circuit reference, see WIRING DIAGRAMS . For connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . If an intermittent condition exists, see INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If testing requires component removal or replacement, see appropriate REMOVAL & INSTALLATION article.

The Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor 1 is a potentiometer type sensor with the following 3 circuits

1. A 5-volt reference circuit.
2. A low reference circuit.
3. A signal circuit.

The control module provides the APP sensor a 5-volt reference circuit and a low reference circuit. The APP sensor then provides the control module a signal voltage proportional to pedal movement. The APP sensor 1 signal voltage is low at rest and increases as the pedal is depressed. The APP sensor 2 signal voltage is also low at rest and increases as the pedal is depressed. When the control module detects that the APP sensor 1 signal and the APP sensor 2 signal circuits are out of correlation, this DTC sets.

1. DTCs P0606, P1518 or P2108 are not set.
2. The ignition switch is in the crank or run position.
3. The ignition volage is more than 5.23 volts.

1. APP sensor 1 disagrees with APP sensor 2 by more than 10.5 percent.
2. The above condition is present for more than 1 second.

1. The control module stored the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.
2. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.
3. The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Failure Records.
4. If one or more APP sensor DTCs are set, the following occurs: The control module commands Reduced Engine Power mode. The APP indicated angle is limited to a predetermined value to limit the amount or throttle control. The APP indicated angle is limited to 0 percent. The control module only allows the engine to idle. The message center displays Reduced Engine Power.

1. A current DTC Last Test Failed clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
2. A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other non-emission related diagnostic.
3. Clear the DTC with a scan tool.

1. Inspect the Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) module connectors for signs of water intrusion. If water intrusion occurs, multiple DTCs may set without any circuit or component conditions found during diagnostic testing.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic procedure.

1. 2 This step determines if a communication condition exists.
2. 5 This step isolates an internal APP sensor failure. The condition may only occur at a certain accelerator pedal position. Monitoring the APP angles for sensor 2 and sensor 3 is an accurate way of verifying the actual position of the pedal. The APP angles for all 3 sensors should be within a set percent of each other. If the pedal is at rest, the APP angle for all 3 sensors should be 0 percent. If the pedal is fully depressed, all APP angles should be 100 percent.
3. 6 The APP sensor 1 shares a common 5-volt reference circuit with the throttle position (TP) sensor 1. Monitoring the TP sensor 1 voltage aids in diagnosing the APP sensor 5-volt reference and low reference circuits. If the scan tool displays near 0 volts, the circuits are OK.
4. 9 With the TAC module still connected, this test will help determine a short to the signal circuit either within the TAC module or wiring.
5. 10 This step determines whether the TAC module or a short circuit is causing the condition.
6. 19 When the TAC module detects a condition within the TAC system, more than 1 TAC system related DTC may set. This is due to the many redundant tests run continuously on this system. Locating and repairing 1 individual condition may correct more than 1 DTC. Disconnecting components during testing may set addition DTCs.
