- Check TP sensor signal circuit (Blue wire) for poor connection at PCM. Repair as necessary. If connection is okay, replace PCM. Retest system.
- Check TP sensor signal circuit (Blue wire) for poor connection at TP sensor. Repair as necessary. If connection is okay, replace TP sensor. Retest system.
An intermittent problem can be caused by misrouted harness, rubbed-through wire insulation or broken wire inside insulation.
If other DTC(s) are set that share same ground and/or 5-volt reference circuit, check for faulty connections or wiring. The PCM 5-volt reference circuits are internally connected within PCM.
If DTC cannot be duplicated, check scan tool FAILURE RECORDS to determine mileage since last DTC was set. If it is determined that DTC is intermittent, performing DTC P1121 diagnostics may isolate cause of fault.
- Perform On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check. See «BASIC TESTING»(ref-16362) article. Go to next step.
- Turn ignition on. With throttle closed, observe TP sensor parameter on scan tool. If display is greater than 4.88 volts, go to step 4). If display is not as specified, go to next step.
- Turn ignition on. Review and record FAILURE RECORDS data on scan tool. Operate vehicle within FAILURE RECORDS conditions. If DTC P0123 is set, go to next step. If DTC P0123 is not set, check for an intermittent problem, see «DIAGNOSTIC AIDS»(ref-16369-S07550404902001010800000) .
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect TP sensor harness connector. Turn ignition on. Observe display on scan tool. If display is about zero volts, go to next step. If display is not as specified, go to step 6).
- Using a test light connected to battery positive terminal, probe TP sensor ground circuit (Green wire) at harness connector. If test light comes on, go to step 7). If test light does not come on, go to step 10).
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM harness connector. Turn ignition on. Using a voltmeter, check TP sensor signal circuit (Blue wire) for a short to power. Repair as necessary. If wire is okay, replace PCM. Retest system.
- Turn ignition on. Observe TP sensor parameter on scan tool while disconnecting each sensor which shares same voltage reference circuit. See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(ref-16366) article. If display changes while disconnecting a sensor, replace that sensor. Repair as necessary. If display does not change, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM harness connectors. Turn ignition on. Using a voltmeter, check voltage reference circuit (Red wire) for short to battery voltage. Repair as necessary. Retest system. If wire is okay, go to next step.
- Check for poor connection at TP sensor. Repair as necessary. If connection is okay, replace TP sensor. Retest system.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM harness connectors. Check for open in TP sensor ground circuit (Green wire). Repair as necessary. If wire is okay, replace PCM. Retest system.
An intermittent problem can be caused by misrouted harness, rubbed-through wire insulation or broken wire inside insulation. If DTC cannot be duplicated, check scan tool FAILURE RECORDS to determine mileage since last DTC was set.
- Perform On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check. See «BASIC TESTING»(ref-16362) article. Go to next step.
- If any Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) DTCs are set, see appropriate DTC test. If no DTCs are set, go to next step.
- Allow engine to cool. Ensure coolant level is full. If coolant level is okay, go to next step. If coolant level is low, check cooling system for leaks. Repair as necessary. Retest system.
- Start engine and let idle. Using scan tool select ENG COOL TEMP. If display increases to greater than 70°F (21°C) within 2 minutes, check for an intermittent problem, see «DIAGNOSTIC AIDS»(ref-16369-S41290495532001010800000) . If display is not as specified, go to next step.
- Check thermostat for proper operation. Replace thermostat if necessary. Retest system. If thermostat is okay, go to next step.
- Using a thermometer, check temperature of water in radiator. Compare reading with display on scan tool. If readings are fairly close, check for sticking thermostat or incorrect thermostat application. Repair as necessary. If display readings are not close, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM harness connectors. Measure resistance between ECT sensor signal circuit (Blue/Red wire) and ECT sensor ground circuit (Green wire - 3.2L; Gray wire - 3.5L) at PCM harness connector. Compare resistance reading with coolant temperature. See «ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR RESISTANCE»(ref-16369-S11122832162001010800000) . If readings are as specified, replace PCM. Retest system. If readings are not as specified, go to next step.
- Check for high resistance in ECT sensor signal circuit (Blue/Red wire) or sensor ground circuit (Green wire - 3.2L; Gray wire - 3.5L). Check for poor connections at PCM and ECT sensor. Repair as necessary. If ECT sensor circuit is okay, replace ECT sensor. Retest system.
