Note. Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).

  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
  3. Start the engine, and let it idle for 10 seconds.
  4. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0369 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS. Does the HDS indicate FAILED? YES -Go to step 7 . NO -If the HDS indicates PASSED, go to step 5. If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, keep idling until a result comes on.

  6. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0369 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS. Does the HDS indicate FAILED? YES -Go to step 7. NO -If the HDS indicates PASSED, intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at CMP sensor B and the PCM. If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 5 and recheck.
  7. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at these locations: CMP sensor ECM/PCM Engine ground Body ground Are the connections and terminals OK? YES -Go to step 8. NO -Repair the connectors or terminals, then go to step 11 .
  8. Check for damage to the front camshaft pulley (CMP sensor pulse plate) (see «CMP SENSOR REPLACEMENT»(ref-423675-S38288812442011092800000) ). Is the pulse plate damaged? YES -Replace the front camshaft pulley (CMP sensor pulse plate); J35Z2 engine (see «CAMSHAFT REPLACEMENT»(ref-423691-S27539516302011092800000) ), J35Z3 engine (see «CAMSHAFT REPLACEMENT»(ref-423692-S14268841182011092800000) ), then go to step 11 .
