INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION
- Verify the customer concern by operating the system.
- Visually inspect for obvious signs of damage and system integrity. Visual Inspection Mechanical Electrical Accelerator pedal Throttle body Fuses Wiring harness Electrical connector(s) Sensor(s) Engine Control Module (ECM)
- If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
- If the concern is not visually evident, check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and refer to the DTC Index.
DTC INDEX
| CAUTION | When probing connectors to take measurements in the course of the pinpoint tests, use the adaptor kit, part number 3548-1358-00. |
Note. If a module or component is suspect, and the vehicle remains under the Manufacturers warranty, refer to the Warranty Policy and Procedure manual (section B1.2), or determine if any prior approval program is in operation, prior to the installation of a new module/component.
Note. Generic scan tools may not read the codes listed, or may read only five digit codes. Match the five digits from the scan tool to the first five digits of the seven digit code listed to identify the fault (the last two digits give additional information read by the manufacturer-approved diagnostic system).
Note. When performing electrical voltage or resistance tests, always use a digital multimeter (DMM) accurate to three decimal places, and with an up-to-date calibration certificate. When testing resistance, always take the resistance of the DMM leads into account.
Note. Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests.
Note. If DTCs are recorded and, after performing the pinpoint tests, a fault is not present, an intermittent concern may be the cause. Always check for loose connections and corroded terminals.
