Diagnostic Test

  1. 1)  VEHICLE HISTORY AND SERVICE BULLETIN INVESTIGATION 

    Ignition on, engine not running.

    With a scan tool, read DTCs and record the related Freeze Frame data if any DTC(s) are present.

    Whether or not any DTC(s) are present you will want to check the following items which may assist in repairing the customer's complaint successfully.

    Check the vehicles repair history.

    If the vehicle has a repair history that pertains to the customer's current complaint, review the repair.

    Inspect the vehicle for any aftermarket accessories that may have been installed incorrectly.

    Check for any service bulletin(s) related to the customer's complaint or DTC(s).

    If a service bulletin applies, follow the instructions per the service bulletin.

    Choose the following scenario that best applies. 

    The service bulletin repaired the customer's complaint. 

    1. Testing complete.

    A DTC is present, no service bulletins apply, or the service bulletin didn't repair the customer's complaint. 

    1. Go To  2).
  2. 2)  ACTIVE DTC 

    Ignition on, engine not running.

    With the scan tool, read DTCs.

    Is the DTC active at this time? 

    Yes 

    1. Go To  3).

    No 

    1. Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure.
    2. Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST) .
  3. 3)  EVAP PURGE SOLENOID OPERATION

    Turn the ignition off.

    Disconnect the EVAP Purge Solenoid harness connector.

    Ignition on, engine not running.

    Using a 12-volt test light, jump across the (K52) EVAP Purge Solenoid Control circuit and (K70) EVAP Purge Solenoid Return circuit in the EVAP Purge Solenoid harness connector.

    With a scan tool, actuate the EVAP Purge Solenoid.

    Does the test light flash on and off? 

    Yes 

    1. Replace the EVAP Purge Solenoid.
    2. Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST) .

    No 

    1. Go To  4).
  4. 4)  (K52) EVAP PURGE SOLENOID CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN

    Turn the ignition off.

    Disconnect the C3 PCM harness connector.

    CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller Special Tool No. 8815 to perform diagnosis.

    Measure the resistance of the (K52) EVAP Purge Solenoid Control circuit from the EVAP Purge Solenoid harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool No. 8815.

    Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms? 

    Yes 

    1. Go To  5).

    No 

    1. Repair the open in the (K52) EVAP Purge Solenoid Control circuit.
    2. Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST) .
  5. 5)  (K52) EVAP PURGE SOLENOID CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND  
    Fig 3: MEASURING RESISTANCE BETWEEN GROUND AND THE EVAP PURGE SOLENOID CONTROL CIRCUIT

    Measure the resistance between ground and the (K52) EVAP Purge Solenoid Control circuit in the EVAP Purge Solenoid harness connector.

    Is the resistance below 100 ohms? 

    Yes 

    1. Repair the short to ground in the (K52) EVAP Purge Solenoid Control circuit.
    2. Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST) .

    No 

    1. Go To  6).
  6. 6)  (K70) EVAP PURGE SOLENOID RETURN CIRCUIT OPEN

    CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller Special Tool No. 8815 to perform diagnosis.

    Measure the resistance of the (K70) EVAP Purge Solenoid Return circuit from the EVAP Purge Solenoid harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool No. 8815.

    Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms? 

    Yes 

    1. Go To  7).

    No 

    1. Repair the open in the (K70) EVAP Purge Solenoid Return circuit.
    2. Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST) .
  7. 7)  (K70) EVAP PURGE SOLENOID RETURN CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND 
    Fig 5: MEASURING RESISTANCE BETWEEN GROUND AND THE EVAP PURGE SOLENOID RETURN CIRCUIT
    GC0041663Courtesy of DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORP.

    Measure the resistance between ground and the (K70) EVAP Purge Solenoid Return circuit in the EVAP Purge Solenoid harness connector.

    Is the resistance below 100 ohms? 

    Yes 

    1. Repair the short to ground in the (K70) EVAP Purge Solenoid Return circuit.
    2. Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST) .
