Circuit/System Description

The engine control module (ECM) uses information from the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor in order to determine when an engine misfire is occurring, and uses information from the camshaft position (CMP) sensor in order to determine which cylinder is misfiring. By monitoring variations in the crankshaft rotation speed for each cylinder, the ECM is able to detect individual misfire events. If the ECM detects a misfire rate sufficient to cause emission levels to exceed mandated standards, DTC P0300 sets. Under certain driving conditions, a misfire rate can be high enough to cause the catalytic converter to overheat, possibly damaging the converter. The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will flash ON and OFF when catalytic converter overheating conditions are present and DTC P0300 is set. DTCs P0301-P0308 corresponds to cylinders 1-8. If the ECM is able to determine that a specific cylinder is misfiring, the DTC for that cylinder will also set.

Conditions for Running the DTC

  15. The cylinder deactivation is not in progress, where applicable.
  16. DTCs P0300-P0308 run continuously when the above conditions are met.

The ECM is detecting a crankshaft speed change indicating a random misfire is occuring that exceeds mandated emission level standards or is at catalytic converter damaging levels.

DTC P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305, P0306, P0307, or P0308

The ECM is detecting a crankshaft speed change indicating a single cylinder misfire is occuring that exceeds mandated emission level standards or is at catalytic converter damaging levels.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

  1. DTCs P0300-P0308 are Type B DTCs.
  2. When the MIL is flashing the fuel injector may be disabled for the misfiring cylinder to protect the catalytic converter.
  3. Depending on the conditions that set the DTC, the engine may go into Open Loop.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

  1. DTCs P0300-P0308 are Type B DTCs.
  2. The DTC must run and pass under the same operating conditions that were present when the DTC failed.

Diagnostic Aids

  1. Ensure that each fuel injector is connected to the proper fuel injector harness connector.
  2. A misfire may only occur when the engine is operating under a load or when the engine is cold.
  3. A high resistance condition on any ignition control (IC) circuit can cause an engine misfire P0300-P0308 DTC to set without setting an IC circuit P0351-P0358 DTC.
  4. This test procedure requires that the vehicle battery has passed a load test and is completely charged. Refer to «Battery Inspection/Test»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt900-2006-2014/remont/charging-system/#battery-charging-system-and-starting-system) .
  5. A misfire DTC could be caused by an excessive vibration from sources other than the engine. Inspect the following for possible sources of vibration: A tire or wheel that is out of round or balance Variable thickness brake rotors An unbalanced drive shaft Certain rough road conditions A damaged accessory drive component or belt A damaged reluctor wheel The Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn procedure may need to be performed.

  3. «Diagnostic Procedure Instructions»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt900-2006-2014/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-diagnostic-information-diagnostic-information-and-procedures__diagnostic-procedure-instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

The crankshaft position (CKP) system variation learn feature is used to calculate reference period errors caused by slight build tolerance variations in the CKP sensor, crankshaft, and CKP sensor position. The calculated error allows the engine control module (ECM) to accurately compensate for reference period variations. This enhances the ability of the ECM to detect misfire events over a wide range of engine speeds and load conditions. The ECM stores the Crankshaft Position System Variation values after a learn procedure has been performed. If the actual crankshaft position variation is not stored within the CKP compensating value look up table, then DTC P0300 may set. If the CKP system variation values are not stored in the ECM memory, or a proper ECM power down does not occur after completing the CKP Learn Procedure, then DTC P0315 sets.

The diagnostic runs continuously.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects that the CKP system variation values are not stored in memory.

DTC P0315 is a Type A code.

DTC P0315 is a Type A code.

This test procedure requires that the vehicle battery has passed a load test and is completely charged. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test .

Knock Sensor Signal Bank 2P0332, P0333P0330P0332P0326

The knock sensor (KS) system enables the engine control module (ECM) to control the ignition timing for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from potentially damaging levels of detonation. The ECM monitors 2 separate KS, one on each side of the engine block. Each KS produces an AC voltage that varies, depending on the vibration levels detected during engine operation. The ECM receives the KS signal through 2 isolated signal circuits for each KS. The ECM adjusts the spark timing based on the amplitude and frequency of each KS signal. The ECM learns a minimum noise level for each sensor at idle speeds, and uses calibrated noise level values for the rest of the RPM range. The ECM should monitor a normal KS signal within the noise channel.

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

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

  1. Ignition voltage
  2. Ground
  3. Ignition control (IC)
  4. Low reference

If the ECM detects that the IC circuit has an incorrect voltage level, DTC P0351-P0358 will set.

  1. The ignition is ON.
  2. DTC P0351-P0358 runs continuously when the above condition is met.

The ECM detects one of the following failures on the IC circuit

  1. An open
  2. A short to ground
  3. A short to voltage

DTCs P0351-P0358 are Type B DTCs.

DTCs P0351-P0358 are Type B DTCs.

Note. A new converter with less than 100 mi on it may set DTC P0420 or P0430 due to out-gassing of the internal matting. Operating the vehicle at highway speeds for approximately 1 h may correct the condition.

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

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

FTP Sensor Voltage

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

P0451

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

P0452 and P0453

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

P0454

  1. DTC P0454 runs only when the engine-off natural vacuum small leak test, P0442, executes.
  2. This test can run once per engine-off period. The length of the test can be up to 10 minutes.
  3. A refueling event is not detected.

P0451

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

P0452

The FTP sensor voltage is less than 0.1 volt for more than 5 seconds.

P0453

The FTP sensor voltage is more than 4.9 volts for more than 5 seconds.

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

  1. DTC P0451 and P0454 are Type A DTCs.
  2. DTC P0452 and P0453 are Type B DTCs.
  1. DTC P0451 and P0454 are Type A DTCs.
  2. DTC P0452 and P0453 are Type B DTCs.

P0451 and P0454

  1. A restriction in the EVAP canister or vent lines could prevent fuel vapor pressure from bleeding off fast enough. If the vent system cannot bleed off pressure fast enough, the re-zero procedure may not complete successfully, which could cause this code to set.
  2. Ensure that the reference port on the FTP sensor is unobstructed.
  3. An FTP sensor that is skewed or does not have a linear transition from low to high may cause this code to set. Scan tool output controls, snapshot, and plot functions can help detect erratic sensor response. To test the sensor signal under vacuum conditions, use the Quick Snapshot and the Purge/Seal functions to capture data while commanding purge to 20 percent, then plot the data to look for erratic sensor operation. A similar test can be done for the pressure side of the sensor operation by applying pressure with the J 41413-200 while taking a snapshot.

The ECM tests the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System for a large leak or restrictions to the purge path in the EVAP system. When the enabling criteria has been met the ECM commands the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve ON and the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve ON, allowing vacuum into the EVAP system. The ECM monitors the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor voltage to verify that the system is able to reach a predetermined level of vacuum within a set amount of time.

  1. Before the ECM can report DTC P0455 failed, DTC P0496 must run and pass.

DTC P0455 is a Type B DTC.

  1. Inspect for a loose, missing, damaged, or incorrect fuel fill cap.
  2. Inspect for a damaged fuel filler neck seal surface.
  3. A blockage or restriction in the EVAP purge solenoid valve, purge pipe, EVAP canister, or vapor pipe, can cause this DTC to set.
  4. The EVAP system can be filled with smoke more quickly and completely by opening the system opposite the end where the smoke is injected. For example, when injecting smoke at the service port remove the fuel fill cap, or temporarily leave the vent open, until smoke is observed, then close the system and continue testing. If using a fuel cap adapter at the filler neck, use the J 41413-VLV at the service port to allow the system to fill faster. See «Special Tools»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt900-2006-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-fuel-system-53l-60l-62l-special-tools-equipment) .
  5. To help locate intermittent leaks using the J 41413-200 , move all EVAP components while observing smoke with the J 41413-SPT . See «Special Tools»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt900-2006-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-fuel-system-53l-60l-62l-special-tools-equipment) .
  6. Individual components can be isolated and tested using adapters in the J 41413-300 . See «Special Tools»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt900-2006-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-fuel-system-53l-60l-62l-special-tools-equipment) .
  7. A condition may exist where a leak in the EVAP system only exists under a vacuum condition. This type of leak may be detected by using the scan tool Purge/Seal function to create a vacuum in the EVAP system and then observe the FTP parameter for vacuum decay.

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

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

This diagnostic applies to internal microprocessor integrity conditions within the engine control module (ECM) and the throttle actuator control (TAC) system. This diagnostic also addresses if the ECM is not programmed.

The ECM monitors its ability to read and write to the memory. It also monitors a timing function. The ECM and the TAC processors are used to monitor the TAC system data. Both processors monitor the other processors data to verify that the indicated APP calculation is correct. The ECM performs an intrusive test in order to confirm that the APP signals are not shorted together. The ECM accomplishes this by pulling the APP sensor 2 low momentarily and looking for sensor 1 to also be pulled low.

The engine control module (ECM) has 2 internal 5 V reference busses called 5 V reference 1 and 5 V reference 2. Each reference bus provides 5 V reference circuits for more than one sensor. Therefore, a fault condition on one 5 V reference circuit will affect the other 5 V reference circuits connected to that reference bus. The ECM monitors the voltage on the 5 V reference busses.

  1. The ignition is in Unlock, Accessory, Run, or Crank.
  2. The ignition voltage is more than 5.23 V.
  3. DTCs P0641 and P0651 run continuously when the above conditions are met.

The ECM detects a voltage out of tolerance condition on the 5 V reference 1 or 2 bus for more than 0.5 s.

DTCs P0641 and P0651 are Type A DTCs.

DTCs P0641 and P0651 are Type A DTCs.

The 5 V reference 1 bus provides 5 V to the following sensors

  1. B74 manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
  2. B150 fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor
  3. B107 accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor 2
  4. B1 air conditioning (A/C) refrigerant pressure sensor
  5. B37B engine oil pressure (EOP) sensor
  6. B23 camshaft position sensor

The 5 V reference 2 bus provides 5 V to the following sensors

  1. B107 APP sensor 1
  2. Q38 throttle position sensor 1 and 2
  3. B26 crankshaft position sensor

It may be possible to locate the fault by disconnecting one component at a time from the 5 V reference circuit while viewing the 5 V Reference Circuit parameter on the scan tool. The scan tool parameter would change fro Fault to OK when the source of the fault is disconnected.

If all 5 V reference components have been disconnected and a Fault is still indicated, the fault may exist in the wiring harness.

The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located on the instrument panel cluster (IPC).

The MIL informs the driver that an emission system fault has occurred and that the engine control system requires service. The engine control module (ECM) monitors the MIL control circuit for conditions that are incorrect for the commanded states of the MIL. For example, a failure condition exists if the ECM detects low voltage when the MIL is commanded OFF, or high voltage when the MIL is commanded ON.

  1. The ignition is in the Run or Crank position.
  2. The ignition voltage is between 9-18 volts.
  3. The ECM has commanded the MIL ON and OFF at least once during the ignition cycle.
  4. DTC P0650 runs continuously when the ignition is ON.

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

DTC P0650 is a Type B DTC.

DTC P0650 is a Type B DTC.

If the condition is intermittent, move the related harnesses and connectors with the engine operating. Monitor the scan tool Circuit Test Status parameters for the component. The Circuit Test Status parameter will change from OK or Not Run to Fault if there is a condition with the circuit or a connection.

The fuel pump control module uses the serial data network to signal the engine control module (ECM) that the fuel pump control module is requesting malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illumination. A DTC is set in the fuel pump control module, and the request for MIL illumination is sent when the fuel pump control module determines that a failure that affects emissions has occurred in the fuel pump control system. When the ECM receives the message from the fuel pump control module, DTC P069E will set in the ECM.

The ignition is ON, or the engine is running.

The fuel pump control module requests the ECM to illuminate the MIL.

The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) indicates that an emission related transmission DTC set in the transmission control module (TCM). The engine control module (ECM) receives the TCM information over the serial data circuit. The ECM turns ON the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when the TCM sends a message over the serial data circuit requesting MIL illumination. The DTC information for the ECM will only display DTC P0700, but the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data will display the transmission DTC that set.

  1. The ignition is ON or the engine is operating.
  2. DTC P0700 runs continuously.

The ECM receives a serial data message from the TCM requesting the ECM to turn ON the MIL lamp.

DTC P0700 is a Type A DTC.

DTC P0700 is a Type A DTC.

The Fuel Trim Cylinder Balance diagnostic detects a rich or lean cylinder to cylinder air/fuel ratio imbalance in each bank. The diagnostic monitors the pre-catalyst heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) signal's frequency and amplitude characteristics by calculating an accumulated voltage over a predetermined sample period. An imbalance is indicated when multiple samples of the accumulated voltage are consistently higher than the desired value.
