INTRODUCTION

Note. The 3.3L is available in 2 models, low-emission model and flex-fuel model. Low-emission model may also be referred to as Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) model and is used for California emission vehicles. Flex-fuel model may also be referred to as Flex-Fuel Vehicle (FFV) model and is used in all vehicles except California emission vehicles. California emission vehicles may be verified by underhood Emission Control label and may be available in other states. Flex-fuel model may be also referred to as an E85 application and may be identified by label attached to inside of gasoline filler door. On flex-fuel models, if test procedure or specification differs from low-emission models, test procedure or specification will be listed separately. If test procedure or specification does not vary, flex-fuel model will be included with low emission model.

To properly diagnose and repair this vehicle, follow DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) are present and a no-start condition exists, proceed to appropriate BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES article. If no DTCs are present and a driveability condition exists, proceed to the TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - CARAVAN, TOWN & COUNTRY, & VOYAGER article for diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, ENGINE STALLS, etc.).

Note. Before performing any testing procedures, check for any related technical service bulletins.

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM

CAUTIONWhen battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting battery.

Note. Diagnostic tests are written specifically for Chrysler's Diagnostic Readout Box (DRBIII®) scan tool. A generic scan tool may not be capable of performing all necessary test functions.

Note. Some wiring circuits may contain a Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC). The PTC is a specified amperage solid-state circuit breaker located in junction box behind driver's side of instrument panel, to the left of steering column. To reset PTC, all current must be removed from PTC for approximately 20 seconds.

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS

Note. Before performing any testing procedures, check for any related technical service bulletins.

Note. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may also be referred to as the SERVICE ENGINE SOON light.

Note. For more in-depth information on engine performance related systems and components, see appropriate THEORY & OPERATION article.

MIL is either located in the message center on top of driver's side of instrument panel or on the right side of the instrument cluster. MIL is displayed as an engine icon. When ignition is first turned on, MIL should come to verify bulb and circuit operation.

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors several different engine control system circuits. If malfunction occurs which affects vehicle emissions, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be stored in PCM and PCM will enter limp-in mode. In limp-in mode, PCM substitutes values for the failed component and provides continuous engine operation. When DTC is stored in PCM, the PCM will turn on MIL and MIL will remain on steady. If problem exists which does not affect vehicle emissions, a DTC will be stored in PCM but MIL will not be turned on.

PCM might not store a DTC for a monitored circuit even though a malfunction has occurred. This may happen because one of the criteria for DTC has not been met. For example, assume criteria for DTC requires PCM to monitor a specified sensor output circuit only when engine operates at 750-2000 RPM. If the sensor output circuit becomes shorted to ground when engine is operating at 2400 RPM, DTC will not be stored, as short to ground occurred at 2400 RPM which exceeds the limit when PCM monitors the circuit.

If PCM detects active engine misfire severe enough to cause catalytic converter damage, MIL will flash to warn the driver of possible damage and DTC will be stored.

The PCM will turn off MIL when malfunction is not detected during 3 consecutive trips on all applications except an engine misfire monitor or fuel system monitor. For additional information on engine misfire monitor and fuel system monitor, see MONITORED CIRCUITS . The PCM will turn off MIL when malfunction is not detected during 3 engine misfire or fuel system monitor tests. The PCM performs engine misfire or fuel system monitor tests when engine is operating within 375 RPM and within 10 percent of the load of operating condition at which first malfunction was detected.

DTCs may be retrieved for system diagnosis. See RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES . System malfunctions are identified as either hard failures or intermittent failures. For additional information on hard failures or intermittent failures, see HARD FAILURES and INTERMITTENT FAILURES .

Monitored Circuits

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) contains electronic circuit monitors that monitor fuel, vehicle emissions, engine and ignition system performance. Monitors use information from various sensor circuits for system monitoring. Monitors do not indicate a specific component failure, but do indicate an implied failure within a specified system, and that the problem must be diagnosed. If any monitor detects a problem affecting vehicle emissions, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be stored in PCM. The following monitors are used.

  1. EGR Monitor
  2. Engine Misfire Monitor
  3. Fuel System Monitor
  4. Oxygen Sensor Monitor
  5. Oxygen Sensor Heater Monitor
  6. Catalyst Monitor
  7. EVAP System Leak Detection Monitor

The PCM will erase DTC once Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is turned off. Once MIL is turned off, PCM must pass diagnostic test for most recent DTC for 40 warm-up cycles on normal operation, or 80 warm-up cycles on engine misfire monitor or fuel system monitor.

Note. A warm-up cycle is defined as engine is started, an increase of 40°F in engine coolant temperature exists after engine is started and engine coolant temperature increases to at least 160°F.

Non-Monitored Circuits

Powertrain Control Module (PCM) does not monitor all circuits, conditions and systems that could cause a malfunction or driveability problem. However, problems with these systems may cause PCM to store DTCs for other systems or components.

For example, a fuel pressure problem will not cause a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) directly, but could cause a rich/lean condition or misfire which may cause PCM to store an oxygen sensor DTC. The major non-monitored circuits are identified as follows.

  1. Cylinder Compression
  2. Excessive Oil Consumption
  3. Exhaust System
  4. Fuel Injector Mechanical Faults
  5. Fuel Pressure
  6. PCM Connector Engagement
  7. PCM System Ground
  8. Secondary Ignition System
  9. Throttle Body Airflow
  10. Vacuum Assist

Hard Failures

Hard failures cause Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) to illuminate and remain on until problem is repaired. This means the defect is there every time the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) checks that circuit or function. If MIL light comes on and remains on during vehicle operation, cause of malfunction must be determined by retrieving Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). See RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES . If a sensor fails, PCM will use substitute value in its calculations to continue engine operation. In this condition, commonly known as limp-in mode, the vehicle runs but driveability will not be optimum.

Intermittent Failures

Intermittent failures may cause malfunction indicator light to flicker or illuminate and go out after intermittent failure goes away. However, the corresponding Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be retained in Powertrain Control Module (PCM) memory. If related failure does not reoccur within a certain time frame, related DTC will be erased from PCM memory. Most intermittent failures are caused by a sensor, electrical connector or wiring related problems. See INTERMITTENTS in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - CARAVAN, TOWN & COUNTRY, & VOYAGER article.

SERVICE PRECAUTIONS

Before proceeding with system diagnosis, following precautions must be followed

  1. Before performing any testing procedures, check for any related technical service bulletins.
  2. Ensure fuel pressure is released before removing fuel line or fittings, as fuel system is under pressure and may cause personal injury.
  3. When using diagnostic tests for diagnosis, DO NOT skip any steps, or incorrect diagnosis may result. When instructed to disconnect any connector, check that connector is clean and in good condition after disconnecting the connector. Repair or clean connector as necessary. Always perform indicated verification test after repairs are made. Verification tests are listed at the end of the diagnostic tests.
  4. When using a jumper wire, ensure either jumper wire or circuit is fuse-protected.
  5. Before disconnecting any control module connector, ensure ignition is off before removing connector.
  6. When checking voltage or continuity at any control module, probe control module connector from pin side. DO NOT backprobe connector unless instructed to in test procedure. DO NOT probe wires through the insulation.
  7. DO NOT cause short circuits when performing electrical tests. This may cause additional Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) to be stored, making diagnosis of original problem more difficult.
  8. Use specified test equipment when performing electrical tests.
  9. DO NOT prolong testing of fuel injectors or engine may hydrostatically lock.
  10. On models with 4-speed A/T, when replacing transaxle control module, pinion factor and shift quality quick learn procedure should be performed. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION.
  11. If replacing Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the correct vehicle mileage and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be programmed into PCM to prevent DTCs from being stored in Controller Anti-Lock Brake (CAB), Smart Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) if equipped, and Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). See «POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE»(/chrysler/town-country/iv-2000-2005/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-tests-wcodes__powertrain-control-module) under PROGRAMMING.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Always perform a visual inspection before attempting to diagnose engine control system problems. See VISUAL INSPECTION .

VISUAL INSPECTION

Most engine control system driveability problems result from faulty wiring, poor electrical connections, improper wire routing, or leaking air and vacuum hose connections. Inspect all engine control system components, hoses, connectors and wiring for damage before proceeding with self-diagnostics. DTCs can only be retrieved by using a scan tool. See RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES .

RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

Note. Ensure battery is fully charged before retrieving Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC).

Using Scan Tool

  1. Turn ignition off. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is located below driver's side of instrument panel. (Scheme 8) Turn ignition on. Using scan tool manufacturer's instructions, read and record DTC messages (DRBIII® scan tool) or DTCs (generic scan tool) and freeze frame data.
  2. If scan tool will not power up, check for loose cable connections or bad cable. If cable connections and cable are okay, measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 16 (Dark Blue/Red wire) at DLC. (Scheme 42) Voltage should be at least 11 volts. If voltage is not as specified, check Dark Blue/Red wire between DLC and Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) No. 7 in Integrated Power Module (IPM). IPM is located on left side of engine compartment, next to battery. (Scheme 19) See DATA LINK CONNECTORS article in WIRING DIAGRAMS. NOTE: The Intelligent Power Module (IPM) may also be referred to as Integrated Power Module (IPM) or Power Distribution Center (PDC).
  3. Under normal operation, the DRBIII® will display one of only two error messages. USER-REQUESTED WARM BOOT error by pressing MORE and NO at the same time, or USER-REQUESTED WARM BOOT error by pressing MORE and YES at the same time. If the DRBIII® displays these error messages or any other error message, record the entire displayed error message and follow scan tool manufacturer's instructions.
  4. If scan tool displays a bus failure error message, this indicates a scan tool failure or a bus circuit failure. To diagnose and repair bus circuit failure, see COMMUNICATIONS under SYSTEM TESTS in appropriate BODY CONTROL MODULES article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.
  5. If any DTCs are displayed, perform appropriate diagnostic test. See «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(/chrysler/town-country/iv-2000-2005/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-tests-wcodes__diagnostic-trouble-code-definitions). After repair is complete, clear DTCs from PCM memory and perform appropriate verification test. Verification tests are located at the end of the diagnostic tests. If no DTCs are displayed, go to one of the following: For starting or driveability problems, go to «TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - CARAVAN, TOWN & COUNTRY, & VOYAGER»(/chrysler/town-country/iv-2000-2005/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-trouble-shooting-no-codes) article for diagnosis by symptom. For speed control problems and servicing information, refer to appropriate CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. For charging system problems, refer to appropriate GENERATORS & REGULATORS article in STARTING & CHARGING SYSTEMS. For transmission electronic controls system problems, refer to appropriate DIAGNOSIS article in AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS.

Using Odometer Display

  1. DTCs can be retrieved by cycling ignition switch and viewing instrument cluster odometer display. To retrieve DTCs, cycle ignition key on-off-on-off-on within 5 seconds. If any DTCs are displayed, perform appropriate diagnostic test. See «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(/chrysler/town-country/iv-2000-2005/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-tests-wcodes__diagnostic-trouble-code-definitions) . After repair is complete, clear DTCs from Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and perform appropriate verification test. Verification tests are located at the end of the diagnostic tests.
  2. If no DTCs are displayed, odometer will display either P1684 and DONE, or only DONE. DTC P1684 is only a status and indicates that PCM memory has been cleared within the last 50 ignition cycles. No problem exists. DONE indicates that no DTCs are present and procedure is complete. If no DTCs are present go to one of the following: For starting or driveability problems, go to «TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - CARAVAN, TOWN & COUNTRY, & VOYAGER»(/chrysler/town-country/iv-2000-2005/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-trouble-shooting-no-codes) article for diagnosis by symptom. For speed control problems and servicing information, refer to appropriate CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. For charging system problems, refer to appropriate GENERATORS & REGULATORS article in STARTING & CHARGING SYSTEMS. For transmission electronic controls system problems, refer to appropriate DIAGNOSIS article in AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS.

CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

Note. Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) with a scan tool will also erase all OBD-II monitor data. This includes all counter information for warm-up cycles, trips and freeze frame data.

Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is located below driver's side of instrument panel. (Scheme 8) Turn ignition on. Using screen prompts on scan tool, erase DTCs from PCM.

POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE LOCATION

Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is located on left side of engine compartment, near front of battery. (Scheme 19) If PCM is replaced, PCM must be properly programmed. See POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE under PROGRAMMING.

POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE

Note. If Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is replaced, the correct vehicle mileage and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be programmed into PCM to prevent Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) from being stored in Controller Anti-Lock Brake (CAB), Smart Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM), if equipped and Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). If replacing PCM on models equipped with a Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM), the secret key data must also be updated to enable engine starting.

Programming Powertrain Control Module

Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). The DLC is located below driver's side of instrument panel. (Scheme 8) Using scan tool, enter correct VIN and mileage into PCM. Using scan tool manufacturer's instructions, clear DTCs from CAB, SKIM and ORC modules.

Updating Secret Key Data

  1. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). The DLC is located below driver's side of instrument panel. (Scheme 8)
  2. Ensure transmission is in Park. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, select THEFT ALARM, SKIM and then MISCELLANEOUS. Select PCM REPLACED. Place the SKIM in SECURED ACCESS MODE by entering the appropriate Personal Identification Number (PIN) for this vehicle. PIN may be obtained from the owner, vehicle's invoice, or from the manufacturer. Press ENTER to transfer secret key data from Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) to the PCM. This will enable the vehicle to start.
  3. If 3 attempts are made to enter the SECURED ACCESS MODE by using an incorrect PIN, the SECURED ACCESS MODE will be locked out for one hour. To exit lock out mode, leave ignition on with all accessories turned off. After one hour, enter correct PIN. It may be necessary to monitor battery voltage and connect a battery charger.

SUMMARY

If no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) are present and a no-start condition exists, proceed to BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES article. If no DTCs are present and a driveability condition exists, proceed to TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - CARAVAN, TOWN & COUNTRY, & VOYAGER article for diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, ENGINE STALLS, etc.).

FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE

WARNINGFuel system is under high pressure. ALWAYS release fuel pressure before attempting to open system for testing or component replacement. DO NOT allow fuel to flow onto engine or electrical parts while testing fuel system components.

Note. When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting battery.

  1. Remove fuel filler cap. Remove fuel pump relay from Integrated Power Module (IPM). IPM is located on left side of engine compartment, next to battery. (Scheme 19)and (Scheme 61). NOTE: The Intelligent Power Module (IPM) may also be referred to as Integrated Power Module (IPM) or Power Distribution Center (PDC).
  2. Start and run engine until it stalls. Attempt to start engine. Continue restarting engine until it will no longer run. Turn ignition off.
  3. Reinstall fuel pump relay in IPM. One or more Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) may set when fuel pump relay is removed. Erase any DTCs that may have set after fuel pressure release procedure. See «CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES»(/chrysler/town-country/iv-2000-2005/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-tests-wcodes__clearing-diagnostic-trouble-codes).

After each repair procedure has been completed, reconnect all components. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER-5 under VERIFICATION TESTS to ensure system is functioning properly.

Closed loop operation is monitored when engine is running and battery voltage is more than 10.4 volts. DTC will set in Powertrain Control Module (PCM) memory when PCM senses engine temperature does not increase more than 50°F in 10 minutes after engine is started. Two consecutive trips are required to set this DTC. Possible causes for DTC to set are: low coolant level, defective thermostat or defective Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor.

  1. Ensure coolant level is in good condition and at proper level. Replace or top off coolant as necessary. If coolant is okay, go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, read ENG COOLANT TPM DEG value. If engine was allowed to sit overnight, scan tool temperature value should be near ambient air temperature. If engine coolant temperature is more than 180°F (82°C), allow engine coolant temperature to cool down to 150°F (66°C) before proceeding. If engine coolant temperature is 150°F (65°C) or less, start engine. Using scan tool, monitor ENG COOLANT TPM DEG until engine coolant temperature reaches 180°F (82°C). Temperature value should increase smoothly from start-up to normal operating temperature. Monitor coolant temperature and note when thermostat opens. Thermostat should open at about 195°F (90°C). Replace thermostat as necessary. If thermostat opens as specified, go to next step.
  3. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, read ENG COOLANT TPM DEG value. If engine was allowed to sit overnight, scan tool temperature value should be near ambient air temperature. If engine coolant temperature is more than 180°F (82°C), allow engine coolant temperature to cool down to 150°F (66°C) before proceeding. If engine coolant temperature is 150°F (65°C) or less, start engine. Using scan tool, monitor ENG COOLANT TPM DEG until engine coolant temperature reaches 180°F (82°C). Temperature value should increase smoothly from start-up to normal operating temperature. Also monitor actual coolant temperature with a thermometer. As engine warms up to normal operating temperature, actual coolant temperature should be relatively close to temperature reading on scan tool. If thermometer reading is relatively close to the scan tool reading, test is complete. If thermometer reading is not relatively close to the scan tool reading, go to next step.
  4. Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM connectors. PCM is located on left side of engine compartment, near front of battery. Visually inspect connectors for corroded, damaged, pushed-out or miswired terminals. Repair connectors as necessary. If connectors are okay, go to next step.
  5. Disconnect ECT sensor connector. ECT sensor is located in thermostat housing (2.4L) or is threaded into a coolant passage near thermostat housing (3.3L and 3.8L).

DTC P0442: EVAP LEAK MONITOR MEDIUM (.040") LEAK DETECTED, DTC P0455: EVAP LEAK MONITOR LARGE LEAK DETECTED OR DTC P0456: EVAP LEAK MONITOR (.020") SMALL LEAK DETECTED

Note. For component location, see COMPONENT LOCATIONS . For connector identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . For circuit identification and wiring diagram, see WIRING DIAGRAMS article. After each repair procedure has been completed, reconnect all components. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER-5 under VERIFICATION TESTS to ensure system is functioning properly.

EVAP leak monitor is monitored immediately after a cold start, with ambient temperature 40-90°F (4-32°C) and engine coolant temperature within 10°F of ambient temperature. DTC P0442 will set in Powertrain Control Module (PCM) memory when PCM senses a leak of .040-.080" (.01-.02 mm) in Evaporative Emission (EVAP) system. DTC P0455 will set when PCM senses a leak bigger than .080" (.02 mm) in EVAP system. DTC P0456 will set when PCM senses a leak of .020-.040" (.005-.010 mm) in EVAP system. Possible causes for DTC to set are: damaged EVAP hose, leaking EVAP system component, leaking Leak Detection Pump (LDP), loose fuel tank cap, defective secondary seal in fuel filler neck, or defective connectors or wiring.

Note. A loose fuel tank cap could cause this trouble code to set. Ensure fuel tank cap is tight and in good condition.

  1. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, check for DTCs. If Good Trip counter is not displayed for DTC or displayed count is not "0", go to step 5 . If Good Trip counter is displayed for DTC and displayed count is "0", go to next step.
  2. Disconnect the vacuum supply hose at the Leak Detection Pump. Connect and apply a continuous vacuum supply (i.e. 20 in. Hg) to the Leak Detection Pump. A vacuum pump such as an A/C recovery unit works well. Using the DRBIII®, select Engine/System Tests and actuate the Leak Detect Pump Test (Option 3/Hold PSI). This energizes the LDP solenoid and allows the constant vacuum source to apply vacuum to the LDP pump diaphragm. This lifts the diaphragm up and seals the atmospheric canister vent valve at the bottom of the Leak Detection Pump. Connect the Red power lead of the Miller Evaporative Emission Leak Detector to the battery positive terminal and the Black ground lead to battery negative terminal. Connect shop air to the Evaporative Emission Leak Detector. Set the smoke/air control switch to AIR. Insert the tester's AIR supply tip (clear hose) into the appropriate calibration orifice on the tester's control panel (based on DTC leak size). Press the remote smoke/air start button. Position the Red flag on the air flow meter so it is aligned with the indicator ball. When the calibration is complete, release the remote button. The Evaporative Emission Leak Detector has now calibrated the flow meter in liters per minute to the size leak indicated by the DTC set in the PCM. Install the Service Port Adapter (8404-14) on the vehicle's service port. Connect the Air supply hose from the Evaporative Emission Leak Detector to the service port. Press the remote button to activate AIR flow. Larger volume fuel tanks, and/or those with less fuel, may require 4 to 5 minutes to fill. Compare the flow meter indicator ball reading to the Red flag. ABOVE the Red flag indicates a leak present. BELOW the Red flag indicates a sealed system. Is the indicator ball above the Red flag? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to step 5 .
  3. To continue testing, you will need Miller Evaporative Emissions Leak Detector (8404). Remove the Air supply hose from the service port. Connect the SMOKE supply tip (Black hose) to the service port. Set the smoke/air control switch to SMOKE. The flow meter indicator ball will not move at this point. Press the remote smoke/air start button. Ensure that smoke has filled the EVAP system by continuing to press the remote smoke/air start button, remove the vehicle fuel cap, and wait for the smoke to exit. Once smoke is indicated, reinstall the fuel cap. For optimal performance, introduce smoke into the system for an additional 60 seconds; continue introducing smoke at 15 second intervals, as necessary. While still holding the remote smoke/air start button, use the White Light (8404CLL) to follow the EVAP system path, and look for the source of the leak indicated by exiting smoke. If a leak is concealed from view (i.e., top of fuel tank), release the remote smoke/air start button, and use the Ultra Violet (UV) Black light (8404-UVL) and the Yellow Goggles (8404-20) to look for residual traces of dye that is left behind by the smoke. The exiting smoke deposits a residual fluid that is either bright Green or bright Yellow in color when viewed with a UV light. Was a leak found? If yes, repair or replace the leaking component as necessary. If no, go to next step.
  4. Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the vacuum hoses at the EVAP Purge Solenoid. Using a hand vacuum pump, apply 10 in. Hg of vacuum to the EVAP Purge Solenoid vacuum source port (component side). Monitor the vacuum gauge for at least 15 seconds. Does the EVAP Purge Solenoid hold vacuum? If yes, go to next step. If no, replace the EVAP Purge Solenoid.
  5. At this time, conditions for DTC to set do not exist or fault is an intermittent problem. Using scan tool, review Freeze Frame data. Attempt to duplicate condition that caused DTC to set. Thoroughly perform a visual inspection of EVAP system hoses, tubes and connections. Look for any physical damage or signs of wetness at connections. Visually inspect related connectors and wiring harness for damage. Check for any related technical service bulletins that may apply. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool in SYSTEM TESTS, perform LDP monitor test. This will force PCM to run LDP monitor. If monitor fails, further diagnosis is required to find faulty component. If monitor passes, no problem is indicated at this time. Test is complete.

DTC P1486: EVAP LEAK MONITOR PINCHED HOSE FOUND

Note. For component location, see COMPONENT LOCATIONS . For connector identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . After each repair procedure has been completed, reconnect all components. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER-6 under VERIFICATION TESTS to ensure system is functioning properly.

EVAP leak monitor is monitored after cold start with ambient temperature of 40-90°F (4-32°C) and coolant temperature within 10°F of ambient temperature. If PCM detects a pinched hose, DTC will not set until EVAP monitor performs system test. If system test fails, DTC will set. DTC will set in Powertrain Control Module (PCM) memory when EVAP monitor senses no airflow through EVAP system. Possible causes for DTC to set are: blocked fuel tank-to-EVAP canister hose, blocked Leak Detection Pump (LDP) hose, pinched EVAP purge solenoid-to-EVAP canister hose, blocked LDP or blocked EVAP canister.

  1. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, read DTCs. If Good Trip counter is displayed for DTC P1486 and displayed count is "0", go to next step. If Good Trip counter is not displayed for DTC P1486 or displayed count is not "0", go to step 6 .
  2. To continue testing you will need Miller Evaporative Emission Leak Detector (8404). The fuel tank should have between 20% and 80% of fuel tank capacity to properly test the EVAP system. Disconnect the vacuum supply hose at the Leak Detection Pump. Connect and apply a continuous vacuum supply (i.e. 20 in. Hg) to the Leak Detection Pump. A vacuum pump such as an A/C recovery unit works well. Using the DRBIII®, select Engine/System Tests and actuate the Leak Detect Pump Test (Option 3/Hold PSI). This energizes the LDP solenoid and allows the constant vacuum source to apply vacuum to the LDP pump diaphragm. This lifts the diaphragm up and seals the atmospheric canister vent valve at the bottom of the Leak Detection Pump. Connect the Red power lead of Miller Evaporative Emission Leak Detector to the battery positive terminal and the Black ground lead to battery negative terminal. Connect shop air to the Evaporative Emission Leak Detector. Set the smoke/air control switch to AIR. Insert the tester's AIR supply tip (clear hose) into the appropriate calibration orifice on the tester's control panel (based on DTC leak size). Press the remote smoke/air start button. Position the Red flag on the air flow meter so it is aligned with the indicator ball. When the calibration is complete, release the remote button. The Evaporative Emission Leak Detector has now calibrated the flow meter in liters per minute to the size leak indicated by the DTC set in the PCM. Install the Service Port Adapter (8404-14) on the vehicle's service port. Connect the Air supply hose from the Evaporative Emission Leak Detector to the service port. Press the remote button to activate AIR flow. Larger volume fuel tanks, and/or those with less fuel, may require 4 to 5 minutes to fill. The flow meter gauge on the Evaporative Emission Leak Detector will read zero LPM when the EVAP system is completely pressurized. Disconnect the hose at the EVAP Canister that goes to the Fuel Tank. Did the pressure drop when the hose was disconnected. If yes, go to next step. If no, repair the obstruction in the EVAP system between the EVAP Canister and the Fuel Tank.
  3. Reconnect all previously disconnected hose(s). Re-pressurize the EVAP System. Using Evaporative Emission Leak Detector, hold down the Remote Smoke/Air Start Button and monitor the gauge. The flow meter gauge on the Evaporative Emission Leak Detector reads 0 LPM the EVAP system completely pressurized. Disconnect the LDP pressure hose at the EVAP canister. The LDP pressure hose is the hose that connects the EVAP canister to the leak detection pump. Did the pressure drop when the hose was disconnected? If yes, go to next step. If no, replace the EVAP canister.
  4. Reconnect all previously disconnected hose(s). Re-pressurize the EVAP System. On Evaporative Emission Leak Detector, set the Pressure/Hold switch to Open and set the Vent switch to Closed. Turn the pump timer On and watch the gauge. The flow meter gauge on the Evaporative Emission Leak Detector reads 0 LPM the EVAP system completely pressurized. Disconnect the EVAP hoses at the Purge Solenoid. Did the pressure drop when the hose was disconnected? If yes, go to next step. If no, repair or replace hose/tube as necessary.
  5. Disconnect and remove the LDP pressure hose. The LDP pressure hose is the hose that connects the EVAP Canister to the Leak Detection Pump. Inspect the LDP pressure hose for any obstructions or physical damage. Is the LDP pressure hose free from defects? If yes, replace the Leak Detection Pump. If no, repair/replace hose as necessary.
  6. At this time, the conditions required to set the DTC are not present. Use the Freeze Frame Data to help you duplicate the conditions that set the DTC. Pay particular attention to the DTC set conditions such as VSS, MAP, ECT, and Load. A thorough visual inspection of the EVAP system hoses, tubes and connections may save time in your diagnosis. Look for any physical damage or signs of wetness at connections. The strong smell of fuel vapors may aid diagnosis also. Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) that may apply. With the DRBIII® in System Tests, perform the LDP Monitor Test. This will force the PCM to run the LDP Monitor. If the monitor fails, further diagnosis is required to find faulty component. If the monitor passes, the condition is not present at this time. Were any problems found? If yes, repair as necessary. If no, test is complete.
