Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Crank the engine for up to 15 s.
- Verify that DTC P0117, P0118, P0122, P0123, P0222, P0223, P0335, P0336, P0513, P0562, P0563, P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, P0606, P062F, P0633, P0685, P0689, P0690, P1516, P1631, P1682, P16F3, P2101, P2119, or P2610 is not set.
- If any of the DTCs are set
Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle .
- Go to next step: If none of the DTCs are set
- If any of the DTCs are set
- Ignition ON.
- Verify the security indicator on the instrument cluster illuminates momentarily.
- If the indicator stays ON or is flashing
Review the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle for Immobilizer system DTCs.
- Go to next step: If the indicator does not stay ON and is not flashing
- If the 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 .
- Go to next step: If greater than 0 RPM
- If 0 RPM
- Connect the EL-26792 between the boot of a spark plug wire and ground.
- Verify the spark tester sparks while cranking the engine.
- If the spark tester does not spark
Refer to Electronic Ignition System Diagnosis .
- Go to next step: If the spark tester sparks
- If the spark tester does not spark
- Ignition ON.
- If the engine is too hot, high fuel pressure readings may result due to hot soak fuel boiling. Allow the engine coolant temperature to cool to less than 60° C (150° F) before attempting to verify fuel pressure.
- 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 scan tool Fuel Pressure Sensor parameter is between 345 - 650 kPa (50 - 94 PSI) with the fuel pump running.
- If not within the specified range
Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis .
- Go to next step: If within the specified range
- If not within the specified range
- Verify the scan tool Fuel Pressure Sensor parameter, after the fuel pump has turned OFF, decreases to less than 600 kPa (87 PSI) and does not decrease greater than 34 kPa (5 PSI) in 1 minute.
- If not within the specified range
Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis .
- Go to next step: If within the specified range
- If not within the specified range
- Verify the conditions listed below do not exist:
- Collapsed air intake duct to the throttle body
- Air filter and air intake system for restrictions and obstructions
- Spark plugs for being gas or coolant fouled
- A skewed manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- A skewed engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
- Test the exhaust system for restrictions. Refer to Restricted Exhaust .
- Test the fuel for contamination. Refer to Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis .
- Engine mechanical condition, for example, worn timing belt or low compression. Refer to Symptoms - Engine Mechanical
.
- If a condition exists
Repair as necessary.
- Go to next step: If no conditions exist
- If a condition exists
- All OK.
NOTE:
An erratic or weak spark is considered a no spark condition.
