MODEL IDENTIFICATION
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.
- 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.
- 6 This step stores the Engine Control Module (ECM) 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 ECM loses during the following conditions: When a diagnostic procedures instructs you to clear the DTCs. When a diagnostic procedure instructs you to disconnect the ECM connectors. When a diagnostic procedure instructs you to replace the ECM. See appropriate «REMOVAL & INSTALLATION - SIERRA & SILVERADO - DIESEL»(ref-158072) article.
- 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.
- 9 If there are other modules with DTCs set, see «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(ref-158516-S25875883752003100300000) . 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.
- 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.
The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic procedure.
- 3 Lack of communication may be due to a partial malfunction of the class 2 serial data circuit or due to a total malfunction of the class 2 serial data circuit. The specified procedure will determine the particular condition.
- 4 Determine if the Engine Control Module (ECM) has DTCs set which may affect engine cooling operation.
- 5 The presence of DTCs which begin with "U" indicate some other module is not communicating. The specified procedure will compile all the available information before tests are performed.
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.
- 6 This step tests for battery voltage on the signal circuits that are not required.
- 7 This step tests for no battery voltage on the required signal circuits.
- 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.
- 9 This step eliminates open circuits as the cause of the malfunction.
Several states require that a vehicle pass on-board diagnostic (OBD) system tests and the 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.
The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic procedure.
- 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 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 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.
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.
The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic procedure.
- 1 Ensure that you perform the I/M System Check before performing this test. Failure to do so may result in difficulty updating the status to YES.

- 4 The acceleration portion of the step completes the Component Monitoring Tests and the idle portion completes the Misfire Monitoring diagnostic tests.
- 5 Perform the individual system test for any of the systems that do not update to YES.
- 6 The I/M System Status only reports on whether or not a diagnostic test has run, not the outcome of the test. If any emission related DTC sets after the tests are complete, the DTC will require diagnosis.
The purpose of this test is to satisfy the enable criteria necessary to execute I/M readiness diagnostic tests for the Misfire Monitoring System.

The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor signal to calculate the amount of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) flow. The ECM will control the EGR valve vacuum control solenoid and the EGR vacuum vent solenoid to allow vacuum to operate the EGR valve. The EGR control system uses vacuum from a belt driven mechanical pump called a vacuum pump. Diesel engines do not create enough engine vacuum on their own to allow the EGR gases into the combustion process. When the ECM commands the EGR valve to open, the EGR throttle valve will be commanded closed. The EGR throttle valve creates a restriction of incoming fresh air to the engine in order to create engine vacuum. If the ECM detects a calibrated difference between the desired MAF rate and the actual MAF rate during EGR system operation, DTC P0401 sets.

Diesel engines do not create enough engine vacuum on their own to allow the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) gases into the combustion process. When the Engine Control Module (ECM) commands the EGR valve to open, the EGR throttle valve will be commanded closed. The EGR throttle valve creates a restriction of incoming fresh air to the engine in order to create engine vacuum. When the EGR throttle valve is closed, engine vacuum develops and allows exhaust gases to enter the engine from the EGR system. The EGR throttle valve vacuum control solenoid is supplied 12 volts by the ignition 1 voltage circuit. The EGR throttle valve vacuum control solenoid is controlled through the EGR throttle valve vacuum solenoid control circuit by the ECM. If the ECM detects a low voltage condition on the EGR throttle valve vacuum solenoid control circuit, DTC P2141 sets.
