An intermittent problem can be caused by misrouted harness, rubbed through wire insulation or broken wire inside insulation. Monitor scan tool while moving related connectors and wiring harness. Whenever a fault is detected, scan data will change from ON to OFF or from OFF to ON. Moving gear selector slowly through each gear while monitoring scan tool may also help isolate problem.
Using FREEZE FRAME and/or FAILURE RECORDS data mode may aid in locating an intermittent condition. If DTC cannot be duplicated, information included in FREEZE FRAME and/or FAILURE RECORDS data can be useful in determining how many miles since DTC set. FAIL COUNTER and PASS COUNTER can also be used to determine how many ignition cycles diagnostic reported a pass or a fail condition. To isolate when DTC failed, operate vehicle within same freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle speed, temperature, etc.).

DTC P0801: REVERSE INHIBIT SOLENOID CONTROL CIRCUIT (5.7L "F" & "Y" BODIES)
Note. For circuit reference, see appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
Ignition voltage is supplied directly to Reverse Inhibit (RI) solenoid. PCM controls solenoid by grounding control circuit through an internal switch called a driver. Primary function of driver is to supply ground for component being controlled. Each driver has a fault line which is monitored by PCM.

DTC P1112: INTAKE PLENUM SWITCHOVER VALVE CIRCUIT (3.0L "V" BODY)
Note. For circuit reference, see appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
Multi-Ram system uses variable air induction tuning to achieve maximum performance and efficiency over entire operating range of engine. System consists of 2 main components. Intake manifold contains intake plenum switchover valve. This vacuum operated valve is essentially a moveable divider that changes airflow characteristics of intake manifold. Vacuum to valve is controlled by an ECM controlled solenoid valve.
Intake resonance switchover valve is located in air intake duct assembly in front of engine. This vacuum operated valve is also a moveable divider that changes tuning of air intake system. Vacuum to valve is controlled by ECM controlled solenoid valve. By opening and closing these valves independently in different combinations, 4 different air flow configurations can be created, each optimized to a particular set of engine operating conditions.
Both solenoid valves are supplied power via main relay (switched battery feed circuit). Both solenoid valves have a control circuit to ECM. ECM controls a valve by grounding control circuit via an internal driver. Primary function of driver is to supply ground for component being controlled. Each driver has a fault line which is monitored by ECM. When ECM is commanding a component on, control circuit voltage should be low (near zero volts). When ECM is commanding control circuit to a component off, circuit voltage should be high (near battery voltage). If fault detection circuit senses a voltage other than what is expected, this DTC will set.
ECM will monitor circuit for short to ground, short to voltage, open or an internally shorted or excessively low resistance in circuit. When ECM detects any of these malfunctions, this DTC will set and affected driver will be disabled. ECM will continue to test circuit and if fault disappears, driver will be reactivated.

- If other DTCs were present during OBD system check and have not been diagnosed, go to applicable DTC. If no other DTCs are present, system is okay.
For any test that requires probing ECM or component harness connectors, use Connector Test Adapter Kit (J-35616-A). This will prevent damage to harness connector terminals. Check for the following conditions
Check for poor connections at ECM or at component. Inspect harness connectors for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals and poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Check for misrouted wiring harness. Inspect harness to ensure that it is not routed too close to high voltage wires (spark plug wires) or too close to high current devices (alternator, motors, solenoids).
Check for damaged wiring harness. If harness appears to be okay, observe scan tool while moving related connectors and wiring harnesses. A change in scan tool display may help to locate fault.

Note. For circuit reference, see appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is a thermistor which changes resistance based on temperature. IAT is located in air intake passage of engine air induction system. IAT sensor has a signal and ground circuit. PCM applies a voltage (about 5 volts) on signal circuit to sensor and monitors changes in this voltage caused by changes in resistance of sensor to determine intake temperature.
When intake air is cold, sensor resistance is high and PCM signal voltage is only pulled down a small amount through sensor ground. When intake air is warm, sensor resistance is low and PCM signal voltage is pulled down a greater amount. This causes PCM to sense a low signal voltage (high temperature). When signal voltage is lower than normal operating range, DTC will set. Conditions for setting DTC are: intake air temperature is greater than 282°F (139°C) and condition exists for a total of one second during a 20 second period.

DTC P1113: INTAKE RESONANCE SWITCHOVER VALVE CIRCUIT (3.0L "V" BODY)
Note. For circuit reference, see appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
Multi-Ram system uses variable air induction tuning to achieve maximum performance and efficiency over entire operating range of engine. System consists of 2 main components. Intake manifold contains intake plenum switchover valve. This vacuum operated valve is essentially a moveable divider that changes airflow characteristics of intake manifold. Vacuum to valve is controlled by an ECM controlled solenoid valve.
Intake resonance switchover valve is located in air intake duct assembly in front of engine. This vacuum operated valve is also a moveable divider that changes tuning of air intake system. Vacuum to valve is controlled by ECM controlled solenoid valve. By opening and closing these valves independently in different combinations, 4 different air flow configurations can be created, each optimized to a particular set of engine operating conditions.
Both solenoid valves are supplied power via main relay (switched battery feed circuit). Both solenoid valves have a control circuit to ECM. ECM controls a valve by grounding control circuit via an internal driver. Primary function of driver is to supply ground for component being controlled. Each driver has a fault line which is monitored by ECM. When ECM is commanding a component on, control circuit voltage should be low (near zero volts). When ECM is commanding control circuit to a component off, circuit voltage should be high (near battery voltage). If fault detection circuit senses a voltage other than what is expected, this DTC will set.
ECM will monitor circuit for short to ground, short to voltage, open or an internally shorted or excessively low resistance in circuit. When ECM detects any of these malfunctions, this DTC will set and affected driver will be disabled. ECM will continue to test circuit and if fault disappears, driver will be reactivated.
- Perform On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system check. See «ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM CHECK»(ref-132811-S27457185922002013000000) under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS INTRODUCTION article. After performing OBD system check, go to next step.

Using DVOM on 10-amp scale, measure current between ground and switchover valve control circuit at ECM harness connector for 2 minutes. If current draw is 0.1-0.75 amp, see «DIAGNOSTIC AIDS»(/gmc/savana/i-1996-2002/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-tests-wcodes-dtc-p0704-p1272) . If current draw is not 0.1-0.75 amp, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect switchover valve connector. Using DVOM, check resistance between ground and valve control circuit at ECM harness connector. If resistance is infinite, go to step 11 . If resistance is not infinite, go to step 9 .

- Check for poor connections and terminal tension at ECM harness connector. Repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step 14 . If connections and terminals are okay, go to next step.
- Replace ECM. New ECM must be programmed with theft deterrent module frequency code currently on vehicle. After replacing ECM, go to next step.
- Using scan tool, clear DTCs. Turn ignition off for 15 seconds. Start engine and operate vehicle. Check for DTCs. If DTC P1113 is set, go to step 2 . If DTC P1113 is not set, go to next step.
- If other DTCs were present during OBD system check and have not been diagnosed, go to applicable DTC. If no other DTCs are present, system is okay.
For any test that requires probing ECM or component harness connectors, use Connector Test Adapter Kit (J-35616-A). This will prevent damage to harness connector terminals. Check for the following conditions
Check for poor connections at ECM or at component. Inspect harness connectors for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals and poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Check for switched harness. Ensure IAT sensor electrical connector and intake resonance switchover valve electrical connectors are not switched. This can cause IAT sensor reading to remain constant. Allow vehicle to idle a few minutes. Using scan tool, observe IAT sensor.
Check for misrouted wiring harness. Inspect harness to ensure that it is not routed too close to high voltage wires (spark plug wires) or too close to high current devices (generator, motors, solenoids).
Check for damaged wiring harness. If harness appears to be okay, observe scan tool while moving related connectors and wiring harnesses. A change in scan tool display may help to locate fault.

DTC P1115: ECT SENSOR CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT HIGH VOLTAGE (5.7L "F" & "Y" BODIES)
Note. For circuit reference, see appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor which changes resistance based on temperature. ECT sensor is located on front of left cylinder head. ECT sensor has a signal and ground circuit. PCM applies a voltage (about 5 volts) on signal circuit to sensor and monitors changes in this voltage caused by changes in resistance of sensor to coolant temperature.
When coolant is cold, sensor resistance is high and PCM signal voltage is pulled down a small amount through sensor ground. When coolant is warm, sensor resistance is low and PCM signal voltage is pulled down a greater amount. This causes PCM to sense a low signal voltage (high temperature). DTC will set when PCM senses a signal voltage higher than normal operating range (1.5-2.0 volts) and engine is operating for greater than 60 seconds and PCM indicates ECT is less than -31°F (-35°C).

VCM determines if HO2S is functioning properly by reading number of Lean/Rich (L/R) and Rich/Lean (R/L) switches. DTC will set when the number of L/R and R/L transitions within a 100 second sample period were less a calibrated number.

Note. For circuit reference, see appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
VCM supplies a voltage of about.45 volt between HO2S signal and HO2S ground circuits. HO2S varies voltage from about one volt with rich exhaust to.1 volt with lean exhaust. HO2S produces no voltage and acts as an open circuit when temperature is less than 600°F (360°C). An open sensor circuit or a cold sensor causes open loop operation.
HO2S heater provides for faster sensor warm-up allowing sensor to become active in a shorter period of time and remain active during long extended idle. DTC determines if HO2S is operating properly by monitoring number of lean/rich and rich/lean switches.
DTC will set when the number of lean-to-rich and rich-to-lean transitions within a 100 second sample period were less than a calibrated number.

Note. For circuit reference, see appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
VCM supplies a voltage of about.45 volt between HO2S signal and HO2S ground circuits. HO2S varies voltage from about one volt with rich exhaust to.1 volt with lean exhaust. HO2S produces no voltage and acts as an open circuit when temperature is less than 600°F (316°C). An open sensor circuit or a cold sensor causes open loop operation.
HO2S heater provides for faster sensor warm-up allowing sensor to become active in a shorter period of time and remain active during long extended idle. DTC determines if HO2S is operating properly by monitoring number of lean/rich and rich/lean switches.
DTC will set when the number of lean-to-rich and rich-to-lean transitions within a 100 second sample period are less than calibrated value.

DTC P1258: ENGINE COOLANT OVER-TEMPERATURE PROTECTION (4.0L "G" BODY & 4.6L "E" & "K" BODIES)
Note. For circuit reference, see appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
PCM has the ability to disable 4 injectors during an engine over-temperature (overheating) condition. Engine is considered over-temperature whenever ECT reaches 268°F (131°C). This protection mode allows the PCM to alternate between groups of cylinders, thereby reducing coolant temperature. This is accomplished by disabling the fuel injectors. This DTC is set to show that an overheating condition was or is observed by the PCM and that the protection mode has been engaged.
- Perform On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system check. See «ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM CHECK»(ref-132811-S27457185922002013000000) under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS INTRODUCTION article. After performing OBD system check, go to next step.
- Using scan tool, check if DTC P0108 or P1114 is set. If any of these DTC(s) are present, diagnose affected DTC(s). If DTC(s) are not present, diagnose cooling system.

Note. For circuit reference, see appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
PCM has the ability to disable a number of injectors during an engine over temperature (overheating) condition. Engine is considered over temperature whenever ECT is greater than 250°F (121°C). This protection mode allows the PCM to alternate between groups of cylinders, thereby reducing coolant temperature. This is accomplished by disabling the fuel injectors. This DTC is set to show that an overheating condition was or is observed by the PCM and that the protection mode has been engaged.
Perform On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system check. See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM CHECK under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS INTRODUCTION article. After performing OBD system check, diagnose cause of engine overheating.
DTC P1258: ENGINE COOLANT OVER-TEMPERATURE FUEL DISABLED (5.7L "F" & Y" BODIES)
Note. For circuit reference, see appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
In order to reduce engine temperature, PCM has ability to disable a number or fuel injectors during and engine over-temperature condition. Engine is considered over-temperature when Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor reaches a predetermined temperature. DTC sets when PCM senses ECT sensor is in over-temperature condition, and PCM enters protection mode.
DTC will set when following conditions are present: DTC P0117, P0118 or P0125 not set, engine is running, ECT greater than 270°F (132°C) and these conditions present for greater than 10 seconds.
- Perform On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system check. See «ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM CHECK»(ref-132811-S27457185922002013000000) under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS INTRODUCTION article. After performing OBD system check, go to next step.
- Using scan tool, select CAPTURE INFO, REVIEW INFO function. If other ECT related DTC(s) are present, diagnose affected DTC(s). If no other DTC(s) are present, repair cooling system or mechanical problem as necessary.
If an overheating condition is present, overheat condition must be repaired and engine oil and filter must be changed. Using FREEZE FRAME and/or FAILURE RECORDS data may aid in locating intermittent condition. If DTC cannot be duplicated, information included in FREEZE FRAME and/or FAILURE RECORDS can be useful in determining how many miles since DTC set. It can also be used to determine how many ignition cycles diagnostic reported a pass and/or fail condition. Operate vehicle within same freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle speed, temperature, etc.) that are noted. This will isolate when DTC failed. If other DTC(s) are set that share same ground and/or 5-volt reference circuit, check for faulty connections or wiring.
DTC P1271: APP SENSOR NO. 1 & 2 (3.0L "V" BODY)
Note. For circuit reference, see appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
This DTC will run when battery voltage is greater than 7 volts. DTC will set when voltage for Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor No. 1 or No. 2 is less than.68 volt or greater than.88 volt. ECM will illuminate MIL and records the operating conditions in the Freeze Frame on the second consecutive drive trip that the diagnostic runs and fails.
DTC will clear when ECM turns off MIL after 3 consecutive drive trips that the diagnostic runs and does not fail. A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles in which no failures are reported by this diagnostic or any other emission related diagnostic. DTC will also clear when battery is disconnected or cleared by scan tool.
