Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.

1	Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check-Engine Controls?	-	Go to Step 2	Go to Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls
2	Attempt to start the engine. Does the engine start and run?	-	Go to Step 4	Go to Step 3
3	Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for this DTC. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds. Start the engine. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. Does the DTC fail this ignition?	-	Go to Step 4	Go to Intermittent Conditions
4	Inspect all of the circuits going to the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor for the following conditions: Routed too closely to other wiring or components Routed too closely to after-market add-on electrical equipment Routed too closely to solenoids, relays, and motors Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 11	Go to Step 5
5	Inspect for poor connections at the CKP sensor harness connectors. Refer toTesting for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 11	Go to Step 6
6	Inspect for poor connections at the engine control module (ECM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 11	Go to Step 7
7	IMPORTANT: If the sensor lead is damaged in any way, DO NOT repair the lead. Remove the CKP sensor. Refer to Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Replacement and Diagnostic Aids. Inspect the CKP sensor and its harness for the following conditions: Physical damage Excessive play or looseness Improper installation Foreign material passing between the CKP sensor and the reluctor ring Electromagnetic interference in the CKP circuits Excessive air gap between the CKP sensor and the reluctor ring Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 11	Go to Step 8
8	Inspect the reluctor ring for the following conditions: Physical damage Improper installation Excessive end play or looseness Refer to Crankshaft and Bearings Removal in Engine Mechanical. Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 11	Go to Step 9
9	Replace the CKP sensor. Refer to Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Replacement . Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 11	Go to Step 10
10	Replace the ECM. Refer to Engine Control Module (ECM) Replacement . Did you complete the replacement?	-	Go to Step 11	-
11	Clear the DTCs with a scan tool. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds. Start the engine. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. Did the DTC fail this ignition?	-	Go to Step 2	Go to Step 12
12	Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool. Are there any DTCs that have not been diagnosed?	-	Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List	System OK
