Circuit/System Verification

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

NOTE:

Disregard any transmission symptoms, antilock brake system (ABS) indicators, and traction control system (TCS) indicators until any fuel trim faults are repaired. A fuel trim fault may cause default actions such as harsh shifts and illumination of the ABS/TCS indicators.
The 3.5L engine, RPO LZE, VIN Code K, may use American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) gasoline with 10 percent or less ethanol or unleaded fuel containing 85 percent ethanol, or ASTM E85. Refer to Fuel System Description .
The 3.5L RPO LZE, VIN Code K, E85 compatible engines only-Over-estimation of the ethanol content will result in a rich shift of fuel trim values, and under-estimation will result in a lean shift of fuel trim values. A fuel trim DTC may set if the learned alcohol content, Fuel Alcohol Content parameter on the scan tool, is different than the measured alcohol content in the vehicle such that fuel trim values exceed failure threshold values. Refer to Fuel Composition Diagnosis .

If any DTCs other than DTC P0171 or P0172 are also set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle .
Allow the engine to reach operating temperature. With the engine running, observe the HO2S parameter with a scan tool. The HO2S 1 value should vary from approximately 40 mV to approximately 900 mV, and respond to fueling changes.
- If the value does not vary from approximately 40 mV to approximately 900 mV, refer to DTC P0030, P0036, P0053, P0054, P0135, or P0141 , DTC P0131, P0132, P0137, or P0138 , or DTC P0133, P0134, P013A, P013B, P013E, P013F, P0140, P1133, P2270, P2271, or P2A00 .

NOTE: The EVAP purge enablement may cause the FT to be momentarily outside the normal range.

The normal Short Term FT parameter should be moving rapidly between +10 percent and -10 percent, with near 0 percent the optimum, with the engine running at operating temperature.
The Long Term FT parameter should be moving slowly between +10 percent and -10 percent, with near 0 percent the optimum, with the engine running at operating temperature.
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 data.
