    No 

    1. Go To  6).
  3. 3)  TIP SENSOR INTERNAL FAILURE 

    With the harness connect disconnected.

    Monitor the TIP Sensor voltage on the scan tool.

    Is the voltage between 4.5 and 5.2 volts? 

    Yes 

    1. Replace the TIP Sensor.
    2. Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST) .

    No 

    1. Go To  4).

    Turn the ignition off.

    Disconnect the PCM harness connector.

    Measure the resistance between the (K153) TIP Sensor signal circuit at the TIP Sensor harness connector and ground.

    Is the resistance below 100 ohms? 

    Yes 

    1. Repair the short to ground in the (K153) TIP Sensor signal circuit.
    2. Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST) .

    No 

    1. Go To  5).

    Turn the ignition off.

    Disconnect the 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 #8815 to perform diagnosis.

    Measure the resistance of the (F856) 5 Volt Supply circuit from the TIP Sensor harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.

    Is the resistance below 100 ohms? 

    Yes 

    1. Go To  7).

    No 

    1. Repair the open (F856) 5 Volt Supply circuit.
    2. Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST) .
