ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC II (OBD-II) SYSTEM CHECK
The On-Board Diagnostic II (OBD-II) System Check is the starting point for any driveability complaint diagnosis. Before any DTC(s) are retrieved, perform a visual underhood inspection checking battery and grounds for clean and tight connections. Check for poor connections or damage to wiring harness and electrical connectors. Check for corroded terminals or corrosion build-up on any connection. Repair as necessary. The OBD-II system check is an organized approach to identifying problems created by an electronic engine control system malfunction.
Use of Tech 2 scan tool is required to perform ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC II (OBD-II) SYSTEM CHECK. To reprogram EEPROM or to program PCM after it has been replaced, see COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION section.
Note. To identify component terminals and wire colors, see appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
Note. Perform all voltage tests with a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm impedance, unless stated otherwise in test procedure.
- Turn ignition on with engine off. Verify Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is on. If MIL is on, go to next step. If MIL is not on, go to BASIC TESTING article.
- Turn ignition off. Install Tech 2 scan tool. Turn ignition on. If scan tool displays PCM data, go to next step. If scan tool does not display PCM data, verify scan tool is properly installed. If scan tool is properly installed, go to step 8 .
- Using scan tool, command MIL OFF. If MIL turns off, go to next step. If MIL does not turn off, go to BASIC TESTING article.
- Start engine. If engine starts and continues to run, go to next step. If engine will not run, go to BASIC TESTING article.
- Using scan tool, check if any DTCs have been set. If any DTCs are set, go to next step. If no DTCs are set, go to step 7 .
- Are 2 or more of the following DTC(s) stored? P0107 P0108 P0113 P0118 P0122 P0123 P0712 P1392 P1406 If 2 or more of these codes are stored, go to BASIC TESTING article. If a single DTC is stored, go to appropriate DTC test under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS in appropriate TESTS W/CODES article.
- Compare PCM data values displayed to typical engine scan data values. See appropriate SCAN TOOL DATA VALUES table under PIN VOLTAGE (VALUE) TESTS in PIN VOLTAGE CHARTS article. If values displayed are normal or close to typical values, OBD-II system check is complete. If driveability problem still exists, go to TESTS W/O CODES article. If values are not correct, go to I - SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTS article.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM connectors. Turn ignition on with engine off. Check for open or short in class 2 data circuit (Orange/Green wire) between Data Link Connector (DLC) terminal No. 2 and PCM 32-pin connector C-1, terminal B13. Also check for open or short in ignition feed circuit (Green/White wire) between DLC terminal No. 16 and dash fuse box. Also check for open in ground circuit (Black wire) to DLC terminal No. 4. If problem is found, repair as necessary and return to step 2 . If no problem is found, go to next step.
- Attempt to reprogram EEPROM. Programming PCM/EEPROM requires the use of a scan tool and special manufacturer equipment. Attempt to display PCM data on scan tool. If data is now displayed, return to step 2 . If data is not displayed, go to next step.
- Replace PCM. Program PCM. After repair, return to step 2 .

Note. See PIN VOLTAGE CHARTS and WIRING DIAGRAMS articles for PCM harness connector, wire terminal and wire color identification.
Note. If PCM requires replacement, PCM must be reprogrammed using a Tech 1 or other OBD-II compatible scan tool.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent problem can be caused by misrouted harness, rubbed-through wire insulation or broken wire inside insulation. Also, check for vacuum or PCV system leaks, incorrect PCV valve, engine oil dipstick not fully seated or engine oil filler cap loose or missing.
- Perform On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check. See «BASIC TESTING»(ref-16258) article. Go to next step.
- Turn ignition on, with engine off. Using scan tool, select MAP from ENGINE 1 DATA LIST function. If MAP value is more than 85 kPa (sea level), go to next step. If not, go to step 19).
- Remove MAP sensor from intake manifold, leaving harness connector connected. Install a hand-held vacuum pump to MAP sensor. Observe MAP sensor reading on scan tool while applying vacuum. Each one in. Hg applied should result in 3-4 kPa drop. Value should change smoothly with each increase in vacuum. If MAP value changed smoothly without any erratic reading, go to step 19). If reading is erratic, go to next step.
- Apply up to 20 in. Hg to MAP sensor. If MAP sensor reading is 34 kPa or less, go to next step. If not, go to step 19).
