DTC IDENTIFICATION

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM

Note. If PCM requires replacement, it must be reprogrammed using TECH II or other OBD-II compatible scan tool. Some models may require additional equipment to program EEPROM.

Note. See PIN VOLTAGE CHARTS and WIRING DIAGRAMS articles for PCM harness connector, wire terminal and wire color identification.

Note. Perform all voltage tests with a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm impedance unless stated otherwise in test procedure.

DIAGNOSTIC TESTS

Note. Diagnostic tests were written specifically for use with TECH II scan tool. Other scan tools can be used, but may have limited functions. To identify circuits and wire colors referenced in testing, see WIRING DIAGRAMS article.

Circuit Description

Engine load is determined using a "speed density" method. This method is calculated using inputs from Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor, Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor, Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor and engine RPM. MAP sensor is main sensor used to calculate engine load. PCM supplies a 5-volt reference signal and a ground circuit to MAP sensor. As manifold pressure changes, MAP sensor input voltage to PCM varies from less than 2 volts at idle to greater than 4 volts at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). If PCM detects MAP sensor input voltage that is excessively low, DTC P0106 will be set.

Conditions required to set DTC are

  1. No ECT, CKP, EGR, EVAP, MAP, injector, misfire, A/D multiplexer or TP sensor DTCs present.
  2. ECT is greater than 14°F (-10°C).
  3. EGR flow rate is steady, changing less than 2 percent.
  4. Engine speed is steady between 1000-4000 RPM, and changing less than 20 RPM.
  5. IAC valve counts are steady, changing less than 3 counts.
  6. TP sensor position does not vary more than 5 percent.
  7. No status change in brake switch, A/C clutch or power steering pressure switch.
  8. MAP value varies more than 10 kPa, for a total of 10 seconds within a 20-second time sample.

Diagnostic Aids

Check for poor connection at PCM. Inspect harness connectors for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor terminal connection. Inspect wiring harness for damage. Move connectors and wiring harnesses related to sensor, while observing MAP display on scan tool. A change in display will indicate location of fault. If DTC cannot be duplicated, FAILURE RECORDS data can be used in determining vehicle mileage since DTC was last set. If it is determined that DTC occurs intermittently, performing DTC P1106: MAP SENSOR CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT HIGH VOLTAGE or DTC P1107: MAP SENSOR CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT LOW VOLTAGE may isolate cause of fault.

Diagnostic Procedures

  1. Perform OBD-II system check. See «ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC II (OBD-II) SYSTEM CHECK»(ref-12126-S06180705522001050100000). After performing OBD-II system check, go to next step.
  2. With ignition on and engine off, review and record FAILURE RECORDS data on scan tool, then clear DTCs. Operate vehicle within conditions noted in FAILURE RECORDS data. Monitor specified DTC information. If scan tool indicates DTC P0106 RAN AND PASSED, go to next step. If scan tool does not indicate DTC P0106 RAN AND PASSED, go to step 4.
  3. Check for following conditions: vacuum hoses disconnected, damaged or incorrectly routed, intake manifold vacuum leaks, throttle body leaks, and EGR valve flange and pipe leaks. Repair as necessary. Retest system. If no problem is found, see «DIAGNOSTIC AIDS»(ref-12126-S30773619572000121100000).

PCM provides about .45 volt reference to Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S). HO2S sensor signal voltage varies from about one volt when exhaust is rich to about .1 volt when exhaust is lean. PCM constantly monitors HO2S signal during Closed Loop operation, and compensates for rich or lean condition by adjusting injector pulse width. If HO2S voltage remains at or near .45 volt reference voltage for an extended period of time, DTC will set.

PCM reads HO2S signal voltage and adjusts fuel delivery based on this voltage. A change made to fuel delivery is indicated by Long Term (LT) and Short Term (ST) FUEL TRIM values.

PCM reads HO2S signal voltage and adjusts fuel delivery accordingly. A change made to fuel delivery is indicated by Long Term (LT) and Short Term (ST) FUEL TRIM values.

ST FUEL TRIM values change rapidly in response to HO2S signal voltages. These changes fine tune engine fuel delivery. LT FUEL TRIM values change in response to trends in ST fuel trim. LT fuel trim makes coarse adjustments to fueling in order to re-center and restore control to ST fuel trim. LT and ST fuel trim can be read by using a scan tool.

Ideal FUEL TRIM value is about zero percent. Fuel trim value more than zero percent indicates that PCM is adding fuel to compensate for a lean condition. Fuel trim less than zero percent indicates that PCM is reducing amount of fuel to compensate for rich condition. DTC will set if PCM detects an excessively rich condition.

Crankshaft position system variation learning feature is used to calculate reference period errors caused by slight tolerance variations in crankshaft, crankshaft balancer interrupter rings, and Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor Hall Effect switches. Calculated error allows PCM to accurately compensate for reference period variations. Crankshaft position system variation learning feature enhances ability of PCM to detect misfire events over a wider range of engine speed and load.

Note. Crankshaft position system variation learning procedure must be performed any time a change is made in CKP sensor to crankshaft relationship, or if PCM is replaced or reprogrammed.

DTC P1336 indicates that crankshaft position system variation values have not been stored in PCM and crankshaft position system variation learn procedure must be performed. Procedure is required after following service procedures have been performed, regardless of whether or not DTC P1336 is set

  1. PCM replacement.
  2. Engine replacement.
  3. Crankshaft balancer replacement.
  4. Crankshaft position sensor replacement.
  5. Any engine repair(s) which disturbs crankshaft/harmonic balancer to crankshaft position sensor relationship. Conditions required for setting DTC
  6. No ECT, KS, CKP, CMP or injector sensor DTCs.
  7. PCM has not successfully learned crankshaft position Tooth Error Correction within 5 attempts or 3 miles.

DTC P1336 will only set if PCM has not learned crankshaft position system variation. PCM only needs to learn this variation once per life cycle of vehicle unless CKP sensor-to-crankshaft relationship is disturbed. Removing a part for inspection and then reinstalling it is considered a disturbance. A fully warmed up engine is critical to learning variation correctly. If a valid learn occurs, no other learns can be completed that ignition cycle.

If engine cuts out before specified learn procedure engine speed or at normal fuel cut-off RPM, PCM is not in learn procedure mode. Review crankshaft position system variation learning procedure and re-enable learn procedure. Verify that scan tool indicates TEST IN PROGRESS.
