Monitor Conditions

  1. When Monitored: With battery voltage greater than 10 volts. Auto Shutdown Relay energized. Engine speed less than 3000 RPM.

Set Conditions

  1. Set Condition: The PCM monitors the continuity of the injector circuits as well as the voltage spike created by the collapse of the magnetic field in the injector coil. Any condition that reduces the maximum current flow or the magnitude of the voltage spike can cause this DTC to set.

  1. Set Condition: The threshold to set the fault is application specific; it is tied to the level of misfire that will cause emissions to increase to 1.5 times the standard or in some cases 1%. It is always a two trip fault above the calibrated RPM. It takes one failure to set a Pending Fault and two trips to set the MIL. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

  1. When Monitored: Engine running for greater than two minutes with the Engine Coolant Temp greater than 70°C (158°F). EGR active. Less than 8500 feet. Ambient temperature greater than -6°C (20°F).
  1. Set Condition: The PCM closes the EGR valve while monitoring the O2 Sensor signal. Once a closed EGR fueling sample has been established the PCM then ramps in EGR and additional fueling while monitoring the O2 sensor signal in the open state. A fueling sample is again established. The PCM then compares the different O2 Sensor signal readings (fueling samples). If a larger than expected variation is detected, a soft failure is recorded. Three soft failures set a one trip failure. After two failed trips, a DTC is set and the MIL is illuminated.

Is the voltage below 0.5 of a volt? Yes Go to step 5 No Repair the (K900) Sensor Ground circuit for high resistance. Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. See «DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure»(ref-352681-S03115589192010010600000) .
  5. (Z958) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the EGR Valve Assembly harness connector. Using a 12-volt test light connected to the 12 volts, check the (Z958) Ground circuit in the EGR Valve Assembly harness connector. NOTE: The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery. Is the test light illuminated and bright? Yes Go to step 6 No Repair the (Z958) Ground circuit for an open circuit of high resistance. Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. See «DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure»(ref-352681-S03115589192010010600000) .
  6. EXCESSIVE RESISTANCE IN THE (K35) EGR CONTROL CIRCUIT Turn the ignition off. Connect the EGR Valve Assembly connector. CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install PCM Pinout Box 8815 along with the Adapter 8815-1 to perform the diagnosis. Using a voltmeter, perform a voltage drop test by backprobing the (K35) EGR Control circuit at the EGR Valve Assembly harness connector and probing the appropriate terminal of the PCM Pinout Box 8815. Make sure the voltmeter leads are connected so that positive polarity is displayed on the voltmeter. Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature. WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury. With the scan tool, perform the EGR System Test. Select OPEN to open the EGR valve. Monitor the circuit voltage on the voltmeter. Is the voltage below 0.5 of a volt when the valve was opened during the system test? Yes Go to step 7 No Repair the (K35) EGR Control circuit for excessive resistance. Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. See «DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure»(ref-352681-S03115589192010010600000) .
  7. EGR VALVE ASSEMBLY Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the EGR Valve Assembly and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the EGR Solenoid and Powertrain Control Module connectors. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals. Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the Solenoid and Powertrain Control Module connectors. Perform any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply. Were any problems found? Yes Repair or replace the EGR system components as necessary. Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. See «DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure»(ref-352681-S03115589192010010600000) . No Replace the EGR Valve Assembly. Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. See «DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure»(ref-352681-S03115589192010010600000) .
