Circuit/System Testing
- Crank the engine for up to 15 s.
- Verify that DTC P0117, P0118, P0122, P0123, P0201-P0208, P0222, P0223, P0335, P0336, P0351-P0358, P0562, P0563, P0601-P0604, P0607, P062F, P0633, P0685, P0690, P1631, P1682, or P2610 is not set.
- If any of the DTCs are set
Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle .
- If none of the DTCs are set
- If any of the DTCs are set
- Ignition ON.
- Connect a test lamp between ground and each fuse that is supplied ignition 1 voltage by the powertrain relay.
- Verify the test lamp illuminates ON for at least one test point of each fuse.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate for at least one test point of all fuses tested
Refer to DTC P0685, P0689, P0690, or P1682 .
- If the test lamp illuminates for at least one test point of all fuses tested
- If the test lamp does not illuminate for at least one test point of all fuses tested
- Ignition OFF and all accessories OFF for 2 minutes.
- Ignition ON.
- Verify the security indicator on the instrument cluster illuminates momentarily.
- If the Security Indicator stays ON or is flashing
Review the scan tool DTC information for Immobilizer system DTCS-Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle , . For more information, refer to Immobilizer Description and Operation .
- If the Security Indicator does not stay ON and is not flashing
- If the Security Indicator stays ON or is flashing
- Verify the scan tool Engine Speed parameter displays greater than 0 RPM while cranking the engine.
- If 0 RPM
Refer to DTC P0335 or P0336 .
- If greater than 0 RPM
- If 0 RPM
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the B75B mass airflow (MAF) sensor.
- Crank the engine for up to 15 s.
- If the engine starts and runs
Refer to DTC P0102 or P0103 (Without Supercharger) , and DTC P0101 (Without Supercharger) .
- If the engine does not start and run
- If the engine starts and runs
- Ignition OFF.
- Connect the B75B mass airflow (MAF) sensor.
- Connect a J 26792 HEI Spark Tester between one of the T8 ignition module/coil assemblies and ground.
- Perform the spark test on at least one cylinder of each engine bank.
- An erratic or weak spark is considered a no spark condition.
- Verify the spark tester sparks while cranking the engine.
- If the spark tester does not spark
Refer to Electronic Ignition System Diagnosis .
- If the spark tester sparks
- If the spark tester does not spark
- Ignition OFF and all accessories OFF, install the J 37287 Fuel Line Shut-Off Adapters and CH 48027 Fuel Pressure Gauge. Refer to Fuel Pressure Gauge Installation and Removal
- Ignition ON
- The Fuel Pump Enable may need to be commanded On a few times in order to obtain the highest possible fuel pressure.
- Additional DTCs may set when using the fuel pump output control.
- Command the Fuel Pump Enable On several times with a scan tool.
- Verify the fuel pressure is between 345-414 kPa (50-60 psi) while the fuel pump is running.
- If not within the specified range
- If within the specified range
- Verify that the fuel pressure does not decrease greater than 34 kPa (5 psi) in 1 min.
- If not within the specified range
- If within the specified range
- Verify none of the conditions listed below exist:
- Restricted air filter element or air intake system
- Spark plugs for being gas or coolant fouled-Refer to Spark Plug Inspection .
- A skewed manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor-Refer to DTC P0106 (Without Supercharger) .
- A skewed engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor-Refer to DTC P0116 .
- Exhaust system restricted-Refer to Restricted Exhaust .
- Fuel contamination-Refer to Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis .
- Engine mechanical condition, for example, worn timing chain, sprocket gears, low compression, etc.-Refer to Symptoms - Engine Mechanical
, and Timing Chain, Crankshaft Sprocket, Camshaft Position Actuator, and Solenoid Valve Replacement (L99)
.
- If a condition exists
Repair as necessary.
- If no conditions exist
- If a condition exists
- All OK.
If the mass airflow sensor is faulted, the engine control module will ignore mass airflow sensor input, default to calculated airflow, and the engine will start and run .
The fuel pressure may vary slightly when the fuel pump stops operating. After the fuel pump stops operating, the fuel pressure should stabilize and remain constant.
