Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

1) MAP SENSOR VOLTAGE ABOVE 4.92 VOLTS
Start the engine.

With a scan tool, read the MAP Sensor voltage.

Is the voltage above 4.92 volts?

Yes
1. Go to 2).
No
1. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
2) MAP SENSOR

Turn the ignition off.

Disconnect the MAP Sensor harness connector.

Connect a jumper wire between the (K1) MAP Signal circuit and the (K900) Sensor ground circuit in the Sensor harness connector.

Ignition on, engine not running.

With a scan tool, monitor the MAP Sensor voltage.

Is the voltage below 1.0 volt with the jumper wire installed?

Yes
1. Replace the MAP Sensor.
2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
1. Go to 3).
  NOTE: Remove the jumper wire before continuing.
3) (K1) MAP SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE

Turn the ignition off.

Disconnect the PCM harness connectors.

Ignition on, engine not running.

Measure the voltage on the (K1) MAP Signal circuit in the MAP Sensor harness connector.

Is the voltage above 5.2 volts?

Yes
1. Repair the short to battery voltage in the (K1) MAP Signal circuit.
2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
1. Go to 4).
4) (K1) MAP SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN

Turn the ignition off.

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 (K1) MAP Signal circuit from the MAP Sensor harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes
1. Go to 5).
No
1. Repair the open in the (K1) MAP Signal circuit.
2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
5) (K1) MAP SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (F855) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT

Disconnect the C2 PCM Harness connector.

Measure the resistance between the (K1) MAP Signal circuit and the (F855) 5-volt Supply circuit in the MAP Sensor harness connector.

Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

Yes
1. Repair the short between the (F855) 5-volt Supply circuit and the (K1) MAP Signal circuit.
2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
1. Go to 6).
6) (K900) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN

Measure the resistance of the (K900) Sensor ground circuit from the MAP Sensor harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes
1. Go to 7).
No
1. Repair the open in the (K900) Sensor ground circuit.
2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
7) PCM
NOTE: Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.

Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.

Were there any problems found?

Yes
1. Repair as necessary.
2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
1. Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module per Service Information.
2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
