  1. 1) ACTIVE DTC Ignition on, engine not running. NOTE: If this code sets during extreme ambient temperatures, improper installation of a block heater could be the cause of this DTC. With a scan tool, select View DTCs. Diagnose all other ECT and Cooling System codes before continuing. Is the DTC Active at this time? Yes Go to 2) . No Refer to «INTERMITTENT CONDITION»(ref-288287-S02739760862008062000000) Diagnostic Procedure.
  2. 2) LOW COOLANT LEVEL NOTE: If an Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) DTC is set along with this code, diagnose the ECT DTC first. NOTE: Inspect the ECT Sensor terminals and related PCM terminals. Ensure the terminals are free from corrosion and damage. NOTE: The best way to diagnose this DTC is to allow the vehicle to sit overnight outside in order to have a totally cold soaked engine. NOTE: Extremely cold outside ambient temperatures may have caused this DTC to set. NOTE: Need to make sure that no Cooling System DTCs are set or changes that would make the warm up much slower or much faster: broken water pump can set this, addition of aftermarket auxiliary cooler can set this DTC. WARNING: Never open the cooling system when the engine is hot. The system is under pressure. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death. Allow the engine to cool before opening the cooling system. Inspect the coolant system for proper level and condition. Is the coolant level and condition OK? Yes Go to 3) . No Inspect the vehicle for a coolant leak and add the necessary amount of coolant. Perform «POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-288299-S34942598282008062000000) .
  3. 3) THERMOSTAT NOTE: This test works best if performed on a cold engine (cold soak). Ignition on, engine not running. With a scan tool, read the Eng Coolant Tmp Deg value. If the engine was allowed to sit overnight (cold soak), the temperature value should be a sensible value that is somewhere close to the ambient temperature. NOTE: If engine coolant temperature is above 82° C (180° F), allow the engine to cool until 65° C (150° F) is reached. Start the Engine. During engine warm-up monitor the Eng Coolant Tmp Deg value. The temp deg value change should be a smooth transition from start up to normal operating temp 82° C (180° F). Also monitor the actual coolant temperature with a thermometer. NOTE: As the engine warms up to operating temperature, the actual coolant temperature (thermometer reading) and the Eng Coolant Tmp Deg on the scan tool should stay relatively close to each other. Using the appropriate service information, determine the proper opening temperature of the thermostat. Did the thermostat open at the proper temperature? Yes Go to 4) . No Replace the thermostat. Perform «POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-288299-S34942598282008062000000) .
  4. 4) ECT SENSOR Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the ECT Sensor harness connector. With a scan tool, read the ECT voltage. Connect a jumper between the (K2) ECT Signal circuit and the (K900) Sensor ground circuit in the ECT Sensor harness connector. Is the voltage below 1.0 volt with the jumper wired installed? Yes Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the ECT Sensor and Powertrain Control Module connectors. If OK, replace the ECT Sensor. Perform «POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-288299-S34942598282008062000000) . No Go to 5) .
  5. 5) (K2) ECT SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the C2 PCM harness connector. Ignition on, engine not running.

Perform «POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-288299-S34942598282008062000000) . No Go to 6) .
  6. 6) (K2) ECT SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN Turn the ignition off. CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller Special Tool #8815 to perform diagnosis. Measure the resistance of the (K2) ECT Signal circuit from the ECT Sensor harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815. Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms? Yes Go to 7) . No Repair the open in the (K2) ECT Signal circuit. Perform «POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-288299-S34942598282008062000000) .
  7. 7) (K900) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN Measure the resistance of the (K900) Sensor ground circuit from the ECT Sensor harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815. Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms? Yes Go to 8) . No Repair the open in the (K900) Sensor ground circuit. Perform «POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-288299-S34942598282008062000000) .
  8. 8) (K2) ECT SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND Measure the resistance between ground and the (K2) ECT Signal circuit in the ECT Sensor harness connector. Is the resistance below 100 ohms? Yes Repair the short to ground in the (K2) ECT Signal circuit. Perform «POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-288299-S34942598282008062000000) . No Go to 9) .
  9. 9) (K2) ECT SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K900) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT Measure the resistance between the (K2) ECT Signal circuit and the (K900) Sensor ground circuit in the ECT Sensor harness connector. Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms? Yes Repair the short between the (K900) Sensor ground and the (K2) ECT Signal circuit. Perform «POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-288299-S34942598282008062000000) . No Go to 10) .
  10. 10) POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the ECT Sensor and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals. Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the ECT Sensor and Powertrain Control Module connectors. Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply. Were there any problems found? Yes Repair as necessary. Perform «POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-288299-S34942598282008062000000) . No Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module per Service Information.

Scheme 622: Diagnostic Test
  1. 1) ACTIVE DTC NOTE: Inspect the vehicle for aftermarket accessories that may exceed the Generator System output. NOTE: The battery must be fully charged. NOTE: The Generator belt tension and condition must be checked before continuing. Ignition on, engine not running. With a scan tool, select View DTCs. Read and record the related Freeze Frame data for P2503. With a scan tool, erase DTCs. Start the engine. Allow the idle to stabilize. Ignition on, engine not running. With the scan tool, select View DTCs. Is the DTC Active at this time? Yes Go to 2) . No Refer to «INTERMITTENT CONDITION»(ref-288287-S02739760862008062000000) Diagnostic Procedure.
  2. 2) FUSED B+ CIRCUIT HIGH RESISTANCE WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death. Ignition on, engine not running. Measure the voltage between the Generator B+ Output Terminal and the Battery + Post. Start the engine. Is the voltage above 0.4 of a volt? Yes Repair the excessive resistance in the battery positive circuit between the Generator and Battery. Perform «POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-288299-S34942598282008062000000) . No Go to 3) .
  3. 3) GENERATOR OPERATION Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the Generator Field harness connector. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe (K125) Generator Field Control circuit in the Generator Field harness connector. NOTE: The DTC needs to be cleared before actuating the Solenoid, if the DTC is not cleared, the Solenoid may not be allowed to actuate. Ignition on, engine not running. With a scan tool, actuate the Generator Field Driver. NOTE: The test light should be illuminated and bright proportional to the maximum duty cycle allowed by the scan tool. For example, if the scan tool allows 100% actuation, the brightness should be as bright as a direct connection to the battery. If the scan tool allows a maximum 25% actuation, the brightness should be 25% as bright as a direct connection to the battery. Does the test light illuminate accordingly? Yes Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the Generator and the Powertrain Control Module connectors. If OK, replace the Generator. Perform «POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-288299-S34942598282008062000000) . No Go to 4) .
