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.

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.

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»(ref-158882-S07978614742003102900000) .
  2. If no DTCs are present and a driveability problem exists, see «SYMPTOMS»(ref-152986-S01524682752003030700000) in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - 4.8L, 5.3L & 6.0L "C", "G", "H", "K", "N", "S" & "T" SERIES - FLEX FUEL & GASOLINE article. Doing so will help identify proper system or component to check in «SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING - 4.8L, 5.3L & 6.0L "C", "G", "H", "K", "N", "S" & "T" SERIES - FLEX FUEL & GASOLINE»(ref-153204) article.
  3. After necessary repairs are made, clear DTCs, verify vehicle will enter "closed loop" operation and ensure DTC does not reset.

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. Ensure the PCM grounds are clean, tight, and in the correct location.

RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

DTCs are retrieved using a Tech 2(R) 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.

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.

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.

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.

  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 to 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 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.

  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).

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.

  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.

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.

  1. The start-up Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is less than 122°F (50°C).
  2. The start-up Intake Air Temperature (IAT) is less than 122°F (50°C).
  3. The difference between the IAT and the ECT is less than 14°F (8°C).
  4. The battery voltage is between 11-18 volts.

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. 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.

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.

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»(ref-158882-S25670426342003102900000) under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
  1. The engine is running for more than 2 seconds.

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. Inspect the harness of the MAF sensor 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 at idle or during deceleration may cause this DTC to set. Inspect for any vacuum leak downstream of the MAF sensor.
  3. Inspect for any contamination or debris on the sensing elements of the MAF sensor.
  4. A wide open throttle acceleration from a stop should cause the MAF sensor g/s parameter 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.
  5. A high resistance of 15 ohms or more on the ground circuit of the MAF sensor may cause this DTC to set. A high resistance may cause a driveability concern before this DTC sets.
  6. A high resistance of 15 ohms or more on the ignition 1 voltage circuit can cause this DTC to set. A high resistance may cause a driveability concern before this DTC sets.
  7. If the condition is intermittent, see «INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS»(ref-158882-S25670426342003102900000) under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.

  3. The ignition voltage is more than 5.23 volts.
  1. The APP sensor 2 voltage is less than 0.24 volt or more than 4.49 volts.
  2. The 5-volt reference is less than 4.54 volts or more than 5.21 volts.
  3. One of the above conditions is present for more than 1 second.
  1. The control module stores 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 of 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 the scan tool.
  1. Inspect the Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) module connectors for signs or water intrusion. If water intrusion occurs, multiple DTCs may set without any circuit or component conditions found during diagnostic testing.
  2. 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 additional DTCs. Remember this if you review the stored information in Capture Info.
  3. For an Intermittent condition, see «INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS»(ref-158882-S25670426342003102900000) under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
  1. DTCs P1518 or P2108 are not set.
  2. The ignition switch is in the crank or run position.
  3. The ignition voltage is more than 5.23 volts.
  1. The TP sensor 2 disagrees with the TP sensor 1 by more than 7.5 percent.
  2. The above condition is present for more than 1 second.
  1. The control module illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.
  2. The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Freeze Frame and/or the Failure Records.
  3. The control module commands the TAC system to operate in the Reduced Engine Power mode.
  4. Under certain conditions the control module commands the engine OFF.
  5. The message center displays Reduced Engine Power.
  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/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.
  2. 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 additional DTCs.
