Hard Failures
Hard failures cause Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) to glow and remain on until malfunction is repaired. If MIL comes on and remains on (MIL may flash) during vehicle operation, cause of malfunction may be determined by using fault codes. See FAULT CODES . If a sensor fails, ECM will use a substitute value in its calculations to continue engine operation. In this condition, vehicle is functional, but loss of good driveability may result.
Intermittent Failures
Intermittent failures may cause Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) to flicker or glow and go out after intermittent fault goes away. However, corresponding trouble code will be retained in ECM memory. If related fault does not reoccur within a certain time frame, related trouble code will be erased from ECM memory. Intermittent failures may be caused by a sensor, connector or wiring problems. See INTERMITTENTS in TESTS W/O CODES article in this section.
SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
Before proceeding with diagnosis, following precautions must be observed
- Ensure vehicle has a fully charged battery and functional charging system.
- Visually inspect connectors and circuit wiring being worked on.
- DO NOT disconnect battery or ECM. This will erase any fault codes stored in ECM.
- DO NOT cause short circuits when performing electrical tests. This will set additional fault codes, making diagnosis of original problem more difficult.
- DO NOT use a test light in place of a voltmeter.
- When checking for spark, ensure coil wire is NOT more than 1/4" from chassis ground. If coil wire is more than 1/4" from chassis ground, damage to vehicle electronics and/or ECM may result.
- DO NOT prolong testing of fuel injectors. Engine may hydrostatically (liquid) lock.
- When a vehicle has multiple fault codes, always repair lowest number fault code first.
Using Scan Tester
- Refer to manufacturer's operation manual for instructions in use of scan tester. Before entering on-board diagnostics, see «SERVICE PRECAUTIONS»(ref-18908-S16891364832001010800000). Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Locate Data Link Connector (DLC), next to fuse block. Connect power source terminal of scan tester to cigarette lighter socket.
- Connect scan tester to DLC. (Scheme 28) Turn ignition switch to ON position. Read and record scan tester self-diagnosis output. Perform necessary repair(s). See «FAULT CODES»(ref-18908-S01410364482001010800000).
Scheme 28
- Before entering on-board diagnostics, see «SERVICE PRECAUTIONS»(ref-18908-S16891364832001010800000). Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Locate Data Link Connector (DLC), next to fuse block. Connect volt-meter positive lead to DLC terminal No. 1 and negative lead to terminal No. 12 (ground). (Scheme 28)
- Turn ignition switch to ON position. Disclosure of ECM memory will begin. If 2 or more systems are non-functional, they are indicated by order of increasing code number. Indication is made by 12-volt pulses of voltmeter pointer. A constant repetition of short 12-volt pulses indicates system is normal. If system is abnormal, voltmeter will pulse between zero and 12 volts.
- Signals will appear on voltmeter as long and short 12-volt pulses. Long pulses represent tens; short pulses represent ones. For example, 4 long pulses and 3 short pulses indicate Code 43. After recording fault code(s), perform necessary repair(s) to indicated circuit(s). See «FAULT CODES»(ref-18908-S01410364482001010800000).
