Test Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Sunfire and 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
- 2: This step determines if the condition is present.
- 4: This step tests the signal circuit of the FTP sensor.
- 5: This step tests the ground circuit of the FTP sensor.
- 6: This step tests the 5-volt reference circuit of the FTP sensor.
