Circuit/System Verification

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:

If you were sent here from DTC P0068, P0101, P010B, P0106, P0236, P1101 - Refer to: Circuit/System Testing.

  1. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
  2. Verify DTC P0601-P0606, P06A3, P16F3 is not set.
    • Go to next step: If none of the DTCs are set 
  3. Verify the scan tool parameter:Throttle Body Idle Air Flow Compensation = Less than 90%
    • Go to next step: If less than 90% 
  4. Verify DTC P0122, P0123, P0222, P0223, P16A0, P16A1, P16A2, P2135 is not set.
    • If only DTC P0122, P0123, P0222, P0223, P2135 is set 

      Test or replace the component:Q38 Throttle Body

    • If DTC P16A0, P16A1, P016A2 and one or more of the DTCs P0122, P0123, P0222, P0223, P2135 is set 

      Refer to: Circuit/System Testing

    • Go to next step: If none of the DTCs are set 
  5. Perform the scan tool control function:Throttle Sweep - Start

    Verify the scan tool parameter:Throttle Position Sensors 1 and 2 = Agree

    • If not the specified state 

      Test or replace the component:Q38 Throttle Body

    • Go to next step: If the specified state 
  6. Verify DTC P0122, P0123, P0222, P0223, P16A0, P16A1, P16A2, P2135 is not set.
    • If any of the DTCs are set 

      Refer to: Circuit/System Testing

    • Go to next step: If none of the DTCs are set 
  7. Verify the scan tool parameter:MAP Sensor - The value should be within the range listed in the table:Altitude Versus Barometric Pressure
    • Go to next step: If in the specified range 
  8. Engine - Running
  9. Verify the scan tool parameter:MAP Sensor = 26 to 52 kPa (3.8 to 7.5 PSI) - The value should change with accelerator pedal input.
    • Go to next step: If in the specified range and changes 
  10. Observe the scan tool parameter:MAF Sensor & Engine Speed.
  11. Increase the engine speed slowly to 3, 000 RPM and then back to idle.
  12. Verify the scan tool parameter:MAF Sensor Bank 1 & MAF Sensor Bank 2 = The value should change smoothly and gradually as the engine speed is increased and decreased.
    • If the value does not change smoothly and gradually 

      Refer to:DTC P0101 

    • Go to next step: If the value changes smoothly and gradually 
  13. Verify the following parameters are within 3 kPa (0.4 PSI) of each other:
    • Barometric Pressure Sensor Bank 1
    • Barometric Pressure Sensor Bank 2
    • Boost Pressure Sensor
    • Go to next step: If in the specified range 
  14. 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.

    Verify the DTC does not set.

    • If the DTC sets 

      Refer to: Circuit/System Testing

    • Go to next step: If the DTC does not set
