Testing & Diagnostics 32 illustrations ~31348 words

INTRODUCTION

Chevy Express & Savana vehicles are available as a Bi-Fuel vehicle (RPO KL6) or as a CNG only vehicle (RPO KL8). This alternative fuels article applies to both versions. This article should be used in conjunction with the SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L EXPRESS & SAVANA - GASOLINE article. This article covers only the Bi-Fuel & CNG self-diagnostics. 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, see NO-START DIAGNOSIS in BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - 6.0L CHEVY EXPRESS, SAVANA, SIERRA & SILVERADO - BI-FUEL & CNG article. If no DTCs are present and a driveability condition exists, see TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - 6.0L CHEVY EXPRESS, SAVANA, SIERRA & SILVERADO - BI-FUEL & CNG 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.

The PCM also monitors the Fuel Injector Control Module (FICM) diagnostic input circuit in order to set FICM related DTCs. The FICM is a non-flashable control module that is not capable of serial data communication. The FICM diagnostic circuit is a 5-volt circuit that is Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) by the FICM in order to communicate diagnostic information to the PCM.

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 4 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 will illuminate SERVICE light.
  4. Type "D" Non-emissions related. Does not illuminate MIL or SERVICE light.

Freeze Frame/Failure Records

PCM stores one freeze frame record 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. Some control modules can store up to 5 failure records. Failure records will be stored for all types of codes, whether or not the MIL is illuminated.

Typical 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

Note. Not all monitors will run while operating in CNG mode. In order to complete all monitors, the vehicle will also need to operate in gasoline mode.

  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. EVAP Monitor Monitors EVAP system for large leaks, small leaks and purge flow.

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 - ALTERNATIVE FUELS - 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 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 light or a Digital Multimeter (DVOM) 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 «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(/chevrolet/chevy-express-h2500/2003-2003/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-60l-bi-fuel-cng) .
  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 «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(/chevrolet/chevy-express-h2500/2003-2003/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-60l-bi-fuel-cng) .

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 & Electrical Noise

Some electrical components or circuits are sensitive to 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 lighting diode.
  5. Test for proper performance of the generator. See ON-VEHICLE TESTING in appropriate GENERATORS & REGULATORS article in ELECTRICAL.

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. NOTE: DO NOT reprogram the PCM with the SAME software or calibration files that are already present in the PCM. This is not an effective repair for any type of driveability problem.
  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 «PROGRAMMING»(/chevrolet/chevy-express-h2500/2003-2003/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-60l-bi-fuel-cng__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 the 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 (DVOM) connected to a suspected circuit. An abnormal reading on the DVOM when 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 scan tool user instructions for more information on the Snapshot function.

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 - ALTERNATIVE FUELS - ENGINE CONTROLS»(/chevrolet/chevy-express-h2500/2003-2003/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-60l-bi-fuel-cng__diagnostic-system-check-alternative-fuels) .
  2. If no DTCs are present and a driveability problem exists, see «SYMPTOMS»(/chevrolet/chevy-express-h2500/2003-2003/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-trouble-shooting-no-codes-60l-wbifuel-cng__symptoms) in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - 6.0L CHEVY EXPRESS, SAVANA, SIERRA & SILVERADO - BI-FUEL & CNG article. Doing so will help identify proper system or component to check in «SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING - 6.0L CHEVY EXPRESS, SAVANA, SIERRA & SILVERADO - BI-FUEL & CNG»(/chevrolet/chevy-express-h2500/2003-2003/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-system-component-testing-60l-wbifuel-cng) article.
  3. After necessary repairs are made, clear DTCs, verify vehicle will enter "closed loop" operation and ensure DTC does not reset.

DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ALTERNATIVE FUELS - ENGINE CONTROLS

Note. Check for applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) before proceeding. DO NOT perform the following procedure if driveability conditions are not present. DO NOT turn ignition off during the following procedure or clear DTCs unless instructed to do so.

Description

The Diagnostic System Check - Alternative Fuels - Engine Controls is an organized approach to identifying a condition that is created by a malfunction in the engine 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 test procedure 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. 1 Lack of communication may be because of a partial or a total malfunction of the class 2 serial data circuit. The specified procedure determines the particular condition.
  2. 2 Lack of communication may be because of a partial or a total malfunction of the class 2 serial data circuit. The specified procedure determines the particular condition.
  3. 3 This step determines if the vehicle will start.
  4. 5 This step stores the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) information into the scan tools 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/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.
  5. 6 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.
  6. 9 If there are other modules with DTCs set, see «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(/chevrolet/chevy-express-h2500/2003-2003/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-60l-bi-fuel-cng__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 test directs you otherwise. System level DTCs, for example, misfire DTCs, fuel trim DTCs, and catalyst DTCs.
  7. 11 This step determines if the vehicle will operate on the gasoline fuel system.
  8. 13 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 statuses that did not set.

Diagnostic Procedure

Note. DO NOT perform this test if no driveability condition exists. Search for applicable bulletins before proceeding with the diagnosis. DO NOT turn OFF the ignition when performing this diagnostic test. DO NOT clear the DTCs unless the diagnostic instructs you to do so. If there is a condition with the starter system, see appropriate STARTERS article in ELECTRICAL. Ensure the battery is fully charged and the cables are clean and tight. Ensure the PCM and the FICM grounds are clean, tight, and in the proper location. Ensure the CNG and the gasoline fuel tanks are at least 1/2 full.

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 - ALTERNATIVE FUELS - 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. PCM adaptive learning and system monitors will only be cleared for those system which had a stored DTC.

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.

SCAN TOOL USAGE

Scan tool is a specialized tester which, when connected to DLC, can be used to diagnose on-board computer control systems by providing instant access to circuit voltage information without need to crawl under dash or hood to backprobe sensors and connectors.

Scan tool reduces diagnostic time dramatically by furnishing input data (voltage signals) which can be compared to specification parameters. They may also furnish information on output device (solenoids and motors) status. However, status parameters only indicate output signals have been sent to devices by PCM; they do not indicate whether devices have responded properly to signal. Verify proper response at output device using a voltmeter or test light.

A problem may exist even if DTCs are not present. Many driveability problems occur without setting DTCs.

Using a scan tool is the easiest method of checking sensor specifications and other data parameters. Scan tool is also useful in finding intermittent wiring problems by wiggling wiring harnesses and connections (key on, engine off) while observing data parameters.

Note. If erroneous voltage signals are suspected, verify tester information using a digital voltmeter and wiring schematic. If nonexistent codes are displayed, DO NOT use scan tool for diagnosis. Contact tester manufacturer for additional information.

Scan Tool Display

Note. OBD-II vehicles have options available in the scan tool DTC mode to display enhanced information available. However, to fully utilize information and procedures requires the use of a Tech 2 scan tool. See scan tool operator's manual for additional information.

The following are Tech 2 scan tool sub-menus in the DTC INFO and SPECIFIC DTC modes

  1. DTC INFO MODE Used to search for specific type of stored DTC information. There are 7 choices in this mode. Technician may be instructed to test DTCs in a certain manner. Follow the affected DTC test procedures. To get complete description of any status, hit ENTER key before pressing the desired "F" key.
  2. DTC STATUS This selection will display any DTCs that have not run during the current ignition cycle or have reported a test failure during this ignition up to a maximum of 33 DTCs. A DTC test that runs and passes will cause affected DTC to be removed from scan tool screen.
  3. FAIL THIS IGN. This selection will display all DTCs that have failed during the present ignition cycle.
  4. HISTORY This selection will display only DTCs that are stored in the control module's history memory. It will not display type "D" DTCs. It will display all type "A" and type "B" DTCs that have the MIL illuminated and have failed within the last 40 warm-up cycles. It will also display type "C" DTCs that have failed within the 40 warm-up cycles.
  5. LAST TEST FAIL This selection will only display DTCs that have failed the last time the test ran. If type "A" or "B" DTCs are displayed, the last test may have ran during the previous ignition cycle. For type "C" DTCs, the last failure must have occurred during the current ignition cycle to be displayed as LAST TEST FAIL.
  6. MIL REQUEST This selection will only display DTCs that are requesting MIL illumination. Type "C" DTCs cannot be displayed using this option. This selection will report type "B" DTCs only after MIL illumination has been requested.
  7. NOT RUN SCC Not Run Since Code Clear option will display up to 33 DTCs that have not run since DTCs were last cleared. Since any displayed DTCs have not run, their condition (passing or failing) is unknown.
  8. TEST FAIL SCC Test Fail Since Code Clear selection will display all active and history DTCs that have reported a test failure since the last time DTCs were cleared. DTCs that last failed more than 40 warm-up cycles before this option is selected will not be displayed.
  9. FAILED SINCE CLEAR This message indicates the DTC has failed at least once within the last 40 warm-up cycles since the last time DTCs were cleared.
  10. NOT RUN SINCE CL. Not Run Since Cleared message indicates that the selected diagnostic test has not run since the last time DTCs were cleared. Therefore, the diagnostic test status (passed or failed) is unknown. After DTCs are cleared, this message will continue to be displayed until the diagnostic test runs.
  11. NOT RUN THIS IGN. Not Run This Ignition message indicates the selected diagnostic test has not run this ignition cycle.
  12. TEST RAN AND PASSED This message indicates the selected diagnostic test has: Passed the last test. Ran and passed during this ignition cycle. Ran and passed since DTCs were last cleared. Test has not failed since DTCs were last cleared. If this message is displayed, repair is complete. If FAILED THIS IGN. message is displayed, repair is incomplete and further diagnosis is required.

FUEL INJECTION CONTROL MODULE

On Bi-Fuel and CNG engines, an Fuel Injection Control Module (FICM) is used. The FICM is located on the left side of the radiator support. (Scheme 409)

SYSTEM TESTS

Note. See SYSTEM TESTS in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - 4.8L, 5.3L & 6.0L EXPRESS & SAVANA - GASOLINE article.

DIAGNOSTIC TESTS

CAUTIONPerform all resistance and voltage tests with a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with minimum 10-megohm impedance, unless stated otherwise in test procedures. Ensure ignition switch is in OFF position when performing resistance tests. For any test that requires probing PCM or a component harness connectors, use Connector Test Adapter Kit (J- 35616-A). Using this kit prevents damage to the harness or component terminals.

Note. Before clearing DTCs, perform powertrain diagnostic system check. See DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ALTERNATIVE FUELS - ENGINE CONTROLS under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. Record FREEZE FRAME and FAILURE RECORDS for reference during testing. Data will be erased when DTCs are cleared.

Circuit Description

An ignition voltage is supplied to the High Pressure Lock-Off (HPL) solenoid through the HPL relay. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) controls the HPL relay by grounding the control circuit via an internal switch called a driver. The primary function of the driver is to supply the ground for the controlled component. The PCM monitors the status of the driver. If the PCM detects an incorrect voltage for the commanded state of the driver, DTC P0005 sets.

Conditions For Running The DTC

The ignition is on.

Conditions For Setting The DTC

  1. The control module detects that the commanded state of the driver and the actual state of the control circuit do not match.
  2. The condition exists for at least one second.

Action Taken When The DTC Sets

  1. The control module illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Light (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 The MIL/DTC

  1. The control module turns off the Malfunction Indicator Light (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.

DTC P0148: FUEL DELIVERY ERROR

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.

Note. For removal and installation of Bi-Fuel and CNG related components, see REMOVAL & INSTALLATION - CHEVY EXPRESS & SAVANA - BI-FUEL article. For removal and installation of gasoline related components, see REMOVAL & INSTALLATION - CHEVY EXPRESS & SAVANA - GASOLINE article.

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) grounds the Alternative Fuel (AF) enable circuit when operating on CNG. When the AF enable circuit is grounded the Fuel Injector Control Module (FICM) operates the CNG injectors based upon the PCM fuel injector control pulse width signals. On Bi-Fuel (KL6) vehicles the PCM opens the AF enable circuit when gasoline operation is desired. Switch-over from one fuel to the other is always performed in an orderly, sequential manner. Since some injectors are in the middle of injecting the previous fuel, the FICM will wait until that cylinders fuel delivery is complete and will then switch over in sequential firing order.

The ignition is on.

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects that the commanded state and the actual state of the Alternative Fuel (AF) Enable circuit do not match.

  1. The control module illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.
  2. The control module switches over to gasoline fuel operation.
  3. The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
  1. The control module turns off the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.

DTC P0171: FUEL TRIM SYSTEM LEAN - BANK 1 & DTC P0174: FUEL TRIM SYSTEM LEAN - BANK 2

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.

Note. For removal and installation of Bi-Fuel and CNG related components, see REMOVAL & INSTALLATION - CHEVY EXPRESS & SAVANA - BI-FUEL article. For removal and installation of gasoline related components, see REMOVAL & INSTALLATION - CHEVY EXPRESS & SAVANA - GASOLINE article.

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. CNG 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 zero percent. If the O2S indicate a rich condition, fuel trim values will be below zero percent. Short term fuel trim values change rapidly in response to the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) voltage signals. Long term fuel trim makes coarse adjustments in order to maintain an air/fuel ratio of 16.5:1 while operating on CNG. If the PCM detects an excessively lean condition, DTC P0171 or P0174 sets.

Diagnostic Aids

  1. The system will go lean if an injector is not supplying enough fuel.
  2. A lean condition could be present during high fuel demand.
  3. Use a scan tool in order to review Failure Records. If an intermittent condition is suspected, see «INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS»(/chevrolet/chevy-express-h2500/2003-2003/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-60l-bi-fuel-cng__intermittent-conditions) under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.

The Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) sensor is a pressure sensor. The Fuel Injector Control Module (FICM) supplies about 5 volts on the FRP sensor reference voltage circuit. The FICM also supplies a ground circuit and a signal circuit to the FRP sensor. When the fuel rail pressure is normal, the FRP signal voltage rises to near 2.5 volts. If the fuel rail pressure increases, the FRP signal voltage increases. The FICM monitors the FRP sensor voltage and communicates the data to the PCM by a dedicated Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) circuit.

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) controls fuel delivery and determines fuel system operation on Bi-Fuel (KL6) vehicles. The PCM is not capable of operating the high current CNG fuel injectors. The PCM injector control signals are received by the Fuel Injector Control Module (FICM) and duplicate control signals are generated by the FICM in order to operate the CNG injectors. On Bi-Fuel equipped vehicles, the FICM switches off the CNG fuel injectors and re-routes the injector control signals from the PCM to the gasoline fuel injectors. A fused ignition voltage is supplied to all of the fuel injectors. The PCM monitors the status of each injector control circuit. DTC P0200 will set if there is condition on a control circuit between the PCM and FICM. On Bi-Fuel (KL6) vehicles, DTC P0200 can set during gasoline operation, if a circuit condition is detected between the FICM and a gasoline fuel injector.

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.

Note. For removal and installation of Bi-Fuel and CNG related components, see REMOVAL & INSTALLATION - CHEVY EXPRESS & SAVANA - BI-FUEL article. For removal and installation of gasoline related components, see REMOVAL & INSTALLATION - CHEVY EXPRESS & SAVANA - GASOLINE article.

Note. Spark Tester (J-26792) is required to perform this procedure.

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses information from the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor and the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor in order to determine when an engine misfire is occurring. By monitoring variations in the crankshaft rotation speed for each cylinder, the PCM is able to detect misfire events.

  1. DTCs P0101, P0102, P0103, P0106, P0107, P0108, P0117, P0112, P0113, P0116, P0117, P0118, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0125, P0128, P0315, P0335, P0336, P0341, P0342, P0343, P0502, P0503, P1114, P1115, P1121, P1122, and P1258 are not set.
  2. If the start-up Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is less than 20°F (-7°C), misfire detection is delayed until ECT is more than 20°F (-7°C). If the start-up ECT is more than 20°F (-7°C), misfire detection begins after a 5 second delay.
  3. The fuel level is more than 10 percent.
  4. The ECT is less than 266°F (130°C).
  5. The engine speed is 400-5200 RPM.
  6. The system voltage is 11-18 volts.
  7. The Throttle Position (TP) is steady.
  8. The A/C compressor clutch is steady.

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects a deceleration in the crankshaft speed that is characteristic of either an emission type misfire or a catalyst-damaging type misfire.

  1. The control module illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Light (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.
  1. The control module turns off the Malfunction Indicator Light (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 using a scan tool.

The misfire index counts the number of misfires. The scan tool can monitor the misfire index. There is a current misfire counter and a history misfire counter for each cylinder. Use the current misfire counter in order to determine which cylinder is misfiring. Use the history misfire counter for misfires that are not currently present.

Many different conditions can cause an intermittent misfire. Inspect the following conditions

  1. Inspect the Ignition Control (IC) circuit for an intermittent short to ground.
  2. Ensure that the spark plug wires are securely attached to the spark plugs and the ignition coil.
  3. If the misfire occurs when the weather is damp, the condition could be due to worn spark plug wires.
  4. Test or inspect for contaminated fuel or a fuel filter restriction. A restricted fuel filter can cause a misfire.
  5. Inspect for sticking intake or exhaust valves.
  6. Inspect the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) for abnormal voltage readings.
  7. Inspect for a vacuum leak as a possible cause of the engine misfire.

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

  1. 5 This step determines if the engine is misfiring while operating on the gasoline fuel system.
  2. 7 If the Misfire Current Counters are incrementing, but the engine is NOT misfiring, this indicates a mechanical condition. For example, an accessory drive belt could cause this condition.
  3. 8 This step verifies that the Crankshaft Variation Learn Procedure is performed. A crankshaft variation that is not learned may cause the misfire counters to increment.
  4. 10 The spark should be consistent when you test the spark at the spark plug wires. The presence of few sparks then nothing indicates no spark.
  5. 14 A misfiring cylinder may cause more than one misfire counter to increment. Diagnose the fuel injector circuit of the cylinder that displays the highest level of misfire.

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) controls fuel delivery and for KL6 vehicles, determines which fuel system the engine is operating on. The PCM controls the Low Pressure Lock-Off (LPL) solenoids, and the High Pressure Lock-Off (HPL) solenoids. The PCM commands the HPL solenoids open for one second at every ignition ON, in order to prime the CNG fuel system. The PCM commands the HPLs, and the LPL open, when the engine is cranking or running on CNG. This DTC sets if the vehicle does not start on CNG within 4 seconds.

The engine is cranking.

The cranking time to start in CNG mode is more than 4 seconds.

The Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) sensor is a pressure transducer. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) supplies about 5 volts on the FTP sensor reference voltage circuit. The PCM also supplies a signal circuit to the FTP sensor. When fuel level/tank pressure is full the FTP signal voltage rises to 4.1 volts. As fuel level/tank pressure decreases to empty, the FTP signal voltage drops to around 0.5 volts. The PCM monitors the FTP signal circuit voltage and the Fuel Tank Temperature (FTT) sensor and determines the amount of fuel within the fuel tank. This DTC sets when the FTP sensor signal voltage is below the normal operating range of the sensor.

  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.
  1. The control module turns off the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.

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.

Note. For removal and installation of Bi-Fuel and CNG related components, see REMOVAL & INSTALLATION - CHEVY EXPRESS & SAVANA - BI-FUEL article. For removal and installation of gasoline related components, see REMOVAL & INSTALLATION - CHEVY EXPRESS & SAVANA - GASOLINE article.

The Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) sensor is a pressure transducer. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) supplies about 5 volts on the FTP sensor reference voltage circuit. The PCM also supplies a signal circuit to the FTP sensor. When fuel level/tank pressure is full the FTP signal voltage rises to 4.1 volts. As fuel level/tank pressure decreases to empty, the FTP signal voltage drops to around 0.5 volts. The PCM monitors the FTP signal circuit voltage and the Fuel Tank Temperature (FTT) sensor and determines the amount of fuel within the fuel tank. This DTC sets when the FTP sensor signal voltage is greater than the normal operating range of the sensor.

  1. DTCs P0182, P0183 are not set.
  2. The FTT is less than 149°F (65°C).
  1. The FTP signal voltage is more than 4.75 volts.
  2. The condition exists for at least one second.
  1. The control module illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Light (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.
  1. The control module turns off the Malfunction Indicator Light (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 using a scan tool.

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

  1. 2 This step determines if the failure condition is present.
  2. 4 This step determines if an open sensor ground circuit condition is present. The Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) and Fuel Tank Temperature (FTT) sensors share a common ground. An open circuit between the splice and the ground terminal will cause both signal circuits to indicate high voltage.
  3. 5 This step determines if an open or shorted signal circuit is the cause of the failure condition.
  4. 6 This step determines if a shorted 5-volt reference circuit is the cause of the failure condition.
  5. 7 This step determines if an open sensor ground circuit between the FTP connector and the circuit splice is the cause of the failure condition.
