Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    1. Start the engine and allow it to idle for at least 60 seconds.
      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 may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

    2. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Is the DTC active or pending?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

  2. CHECK THE (K43) O2 SENSOR 2/1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the O2 Sensor 2/1 harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Measure the voltage between ground and the (K43) O2 Sensor 2/1 Signal circuit in the O2 Sensor 2/1 harness connector.

      Is the voltage above 5.2 volts?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (K43) O2 Sensor 2/1 Signal circuit for a short to voltage.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  3
  3. CHECK THE (K43) O2 SENSOR 2/1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE 
    1. Disconnect the PCM-2 C2 harness connector.
    2. Measure the resistance of the (K43) O2 Sensor 2/1 Signal circuit from the O2 Sensor 2/1 harness connector to the PCM-2 C2 harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  4

      No 

      • Repair the (K43) O2 Sensor 2/1 Signal circuit for an open or high resistance.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  4. CHECK THE (K906) O2 SENSOR UPSTREAM RETURN CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE 
    1. Measure the resistance of the (K906) O2 Sensor Upstream Return circuit between the O2 Sensor 2/1 harness connector and the PCM-2 C2 harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  5

      No 

      • Repair the (K906) O2 Sensor Upstream Return circuit for an open or high resistance.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  5. CHECK THE O2 SENSOR 2/1 FOR PROPER OPERATION 
    1. Reconnect the PCM-2 C2 harness connector.
    2. Turn the ignition on.
    3. With the scan tool, monitor the O2 Sensor 2/1 voltage.
    4. Connect a jumper between the (K43) O2 Sensor 2/1 Signal circuit and the (K906) O2 Sensor Upstream Return circuit at the O2 Sensor harness connector.

      Is the voltage between 2.3 and 2.7 volts on the scan tool with the jumper installed?

      Yes 

      • Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the O2 Sensor 2/1 and Powertrain Control Module connectors. If no problems are found, replace the O2 Sensor 2/1 in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to SENSOR, OXYGEN, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Remove the jumper before continuing.
      • Go To  6
  6. CHECK RELATED PCM AND COMPONENT CONNECTIONS 
    1. Perform any Service Bulletins that apply.
    2. Disconnect all PCM-2 harness connectors.
    3. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
    4. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
    5. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
      • Proper connector installation.
      • Damaged connector locks.
      • Corrosion.
      • Other signs of water intrusion.
      • Weather seal damage (if equipped).
      • Bent terminals.
      • Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
      • Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
      • Check for spread terminals and verify proper terminal tension.

      Repair any conditions that are found.

    6. Reconnect all PCM-2 harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    7. Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    8. Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    9. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
    10. Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
    11. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes 

      No
