Diagnostic Procedures

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check-Engine Controls? If yes, go to next step. If no, see DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ENGINE CONTROLS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
  2. Connect a scan tool. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Command the AIR solenoid valve ON and OFF with a scan tool. Does the AIR solenoid valve turn ON and OFF with each command? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to step  4.
  3. Review the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data for this DTC. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds. Start the engine. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. Does the DTC set? If yes, go to next step. If no, see INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
  4. Turn OFF the ignition. Disconnect the electrical connector of the AIR solenoid valve. Turn ON the ignition, with the ignition OFF. Test the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the AIR solenoid for an open with a test lamp connected to a good ground. Does the test lamp illuminate? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to step  11.
  5. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit of the AIR solenoid valve and the battery voltage supply circuit of the AIR solenoid valve. Command the AIR solenoid valve ON and OFF with a scan tool. Does the test lamp turn ON and OFF with each command? If yes, go to step  9. If no, go to next step.
  6. Does the test lamp remain illuminated with each command? If yes, go to step  8. If no, go to next step.

  11. Repair the battery voltage supply circuit for the AIR solenoid valve. After repairs, go to step  14.
  12. Replace the AIR solenoid valve. After repairs, go to step  14.
  13. Replace the PCM. See appropriate REMOVAL, OVERHAUL & INSTALLATION article. Reprogram PCM. See POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE  under PROGRAMMING. After repairs, go to next step.
  14. 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 DTC. Does the DTC run and pass? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to step  2.
  15. Observe the stored information, Capture Info with a scan tool. Does the scan tool display any DTCs that you have not diagnosed? If yes, see DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS . If no, system is okay.
