Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn
Note. The Crankshaft Position Variation Learn procedure is also required when the following service procedures have been performed, regardless of whether DTC P0315 is set: An engine replacement An engine control module (ECM) replacement A crankshaft balancer replacement A crankshaft replacement A crankshaft position sensor replacement Any engine repairs which disturb the crankshaft to crankshaft position sensor relationship.
Note. The ECM monitors certain component signals to determine if all the conditions are met to continue with the Crankshaft Position Variation Learn procedure.
- Ignition ON, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. Verify no other DTCs are set, except DTCs P0300-P0304, or P0315. If DTCs are set, except DTCs P0300-P0304, or P0315, refer to «Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle»(/chevrolet/captiva/i-2011-2013/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-diagnostic-information__diagnostic-trouble-code-dtc-list) for further diagnosis.
- Select the Crankshaft Position Variation Learn Procedure with a scan tool and perform the following: NOTE: Close the hood. NOTE: The engine must be at operating temperature. Block drive wheels. Set parking brake. DO NOT apply brake pedal. Turn the air conditioning (A/C) OFF. When directed, apply and hold brake pedal for the duration of the procedure. Ignition ON, engine running at operating temperature. The vehicle must remain in Park or Neutral. NOTE: While the learn procedure is in progress, release the throttle immediately when the engine starts to decelerate. The engine control is returned to the operator and the engine responds to throttle position after the learn procedure is complete. Accelerate to wide open throttle (WOT) and release when the fuel cut-off occurs.
- The scan tool displays: Learn Status: Learned this Ignition.
- Verify DTC P0315 ran and passed This Ignition Cycle. If DTC P0315 failed or did not run This Ignition Cycle, or another DTC is present, refer to «Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle»(/chevrolet/captiva/i-2011-2013/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-diagnostic-information__diagnostic-trouble-code-dtc-list) for the applicable DTC that set.
- Once the Crankshaft Position Variation Learn procedure has successfully completed, and in order to store the crankshaft position variation values in the ECM, turn OFF the ignition and verify all vehicle systems are OFF. This may take up to 2 minutes.
Description
The engine control module (ECM) learns the airflow through the throttle body to ensure the correct idle. The learned airflow values are stored within the ECM. These values are learned to adjust for production variation and will continuously learn during the life of the vehicle to compensate for reduced airflow due to throttle body coking. Anytime the throttle body airflow rate changes, for example due to cleaning or replacing, the values must be relearned.
An engine that had a heavily coked throttle body that has been cleaned or replaced may take several drive cycles to learn out the coking. To accelerate the process, the scan tool has the ability to reset all learned values back to zero. A new ECM will also have values set to zero.
The idle may be unstable or a DTC may set if the learned values do not match the actual airflow.
Conditions for Running the Idle Learn Procedure
Reset Procedure

- The engine vacuum is greater than 5 kPa.
- The mass air flow (MAF) is greater than 2 g/s.
- The ignition 1 voltage is greater than 10 V.
Reset/Learn Procedure
Reset Procedure - Performed after the throttle body is cleaned or replaced
- Ignition ON, engine OFF, perform the Idle Learn Reset in Module Setup with a scan tool.
- Engine idling, monitor the Throttle Body Idle Airflow Compensation parameter. The Throttle Body Idle Airflow Compensation value should equal 0 % and the engine should be idling at a normal idle speed.
- Clear the DTCs and return to the diagnostic that referred you here.
Learn Procedure - Performed after the ECM is programmed or replaced
- Engine idling for 3 minutes.
- Monitor the Desired Idle Speed and the actual Engine Speed with a scan tool.
- The ECM will start to learn the new idle cells and Desired Idle Speed should start to decrease.
- Ignition OFF for 60 s.
- Engine idling for 3 minutes.
- After the 3 minute run time the engine speed should return to normal. NOTE: During the drive cycle monitor the DTC information with a scan tool to verify DTC P0506 and P0507 do not set. If DTC P0506 and P0507 set, clear the DTCs so the ECM can continue to learn. If the engine idle speed has not been learned the vehicle will need to be driven at speeds above 70 km/h (44 mph) with several decelerations and extended idles.
- After the drive cycle, the engine speed should return to normal. If the engine idle speed has not been learned, turn OFF the ignition for 60 s and repeat step 6.
- Once the engine speed has returned to normal, clear DTCs and return to the diagnostic that referred you here.

| 1 | Heated Oxygen Sensor CAUTION: Do not remove the pigtail from either the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) or the oxygen sensor (O2S). Removing the pigtail or the connector will affect sensor operation. Handle the oxygen sensor carefully. Do not drop the HO2S. Keep the in-line electrical connector and the louvered end free of grease, dirt, or other contaminants. Do not use cleaning solvents of any type. Do not repair the wiring, connector or terminals. Replace the oxygen sensor if the pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged. This external clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors, or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degraded sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor causing poor performance. Do not damage the sensor pigtail and harness wires in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. Ensure the sensor or vehicle lead wires are not bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends or kinks could block the reference air path through the lead wire. Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire, where applicable. Vehicles that utilize the ground wired sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will cause poor engine performance. Ensure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector in order to prevent damage due to water intrusion. The engine harness may be repaired using Packard's Crimp and Splice Seals Terminal Repair Kit. Under no circumstances should repairs be soldered since this could result in the air reference being obstructed. CAUTION: Refer to Fastener Caution . Procedure Disconnect the heated oxygen sensor harness connector. If reinstalling the old sensor, coat the threads with anti-sieze compound. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers . TIP: A special anti-seize compound is used in the HO2S threads. The compound consists of liquid graphite and glass beads. The graphite tends to burn away, but the glass beads remain, making the sensor easier to remove. New, or service replacement sensors already have the compound applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed from an exhaust component and if for any reason the sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before reinstallation.

Spark Plug Usage
- Ensure that the correct spark plug is installed. An incorrect spark plug causes driveability conditions. Refer to the Electronic Parts Catalog.
- Ensure that the spark plug has the correct heat range. An incorrect heat range causes the following conditions: Spark plug fouling - colder plug Pre-ignition causing spark plug and/or engine damage - hotter plug
Spark Plug Inspection
- Inspect the terminal post (1) for damage. Inspect for a bent or broken terminal post (1). Test for a loose terminal post (1) by twisting and pulling the post. The terminal post (1) should NOT move.
- Inspect the insulator (2) for flashover or carbon tracking, soot. This is caused by the electrical charge traveling across the insulator (2) between the terminal post (1) and ground. Inspect for the following conditions: Inspect the spark plug boot for damage. Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for moisture, such as oil, coolant, or water. A spark plug boot that is saturated causes arcing to ground.
- Inspect the insulator (2) for cracks. All or part of the electrical charge may arc through the crack instead of the electrodes (3, 4).
- Inspect for evidence of improper arcing. Measure the gap between the center electrode (4) and the side electrode (3) terminals. Refer to «Ignition System Specifications»(/chevrolet/captiva/i-2011-2013/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controlsfuel-24l-specifications__ignition-system-specifications) . An excessively wide electrode gap can prevent correct spark plug operation. Inspect for the correct spark plug torque. Refer to «Ignition System Specifications»(/chevrolet/captiva/i-2011-2013/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controlsfuel-24l-specifications__ignition-system-specifications) . Insufficient torque can prevent correct spark plug operation. An over torqued spark plug, causes the insulator (2) to crack. Inspect for signs of tracking that occurred near the insulator tip instead of the center electrode (4). Inspect for a broken or worn side electrode (3). Inspect for a broken, worn, or loose center electrode (4) by shaking the spark plug. A rattling sound indicates internal damage. A loose center electrode (4) reduces the spark intensity. Inspect for bridged electrodes (3, 4). Deposits on the electrodes (3, 4) reduce or eliminates the gap. Inspect for worn or missing platinum pads on the electrodes (3, 4) If equipped. Inspect for excessive fouling.
- Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for debris. Dirty or damaged threads can cause the spark plug not to seat correctly during installation.
Spark Plug Visual Inspection
- Normal operation-Brown to grayish-tan with small amounts of white powdery deposits are normal combustion by-products from fuels with additives.
- Carbon Fouled-Dry, fluffy black carbon, or soot caused by the following conditions: Rich fuel mixtures Leaking fuel injectors Excessive fuel pressure Restricted air filter element Incorrect combustion Reduced ignition system voltage output Weak coils Worn ignition wires Incorrect spark plug gap Excessive idling or slow speeds under light loads can keep spark plug temperatures so low that normal combustion deposits may not burn off.
- Deposit Fouling-Oil, coolant, or additives that include substances such as silicone, very white coating, reduces the spark intensity. Most powdery deposits will not effect spark intensity unless they form into a glazing over the electrode.
