Diagnostic Test

ACTIVE DTC
NOTE: Diagnose any TP Sensor or MAP Sensor component DTCs before continuing.

NOTE: If the P0501 - No Vehicle Speed Signal is set long with this DTC, refer to the P0501 diagnostics before continuing.

NOTE: The throttle plate and linkage should be free from binding and carbon build up.

NOTE: Make sure the throttle plate is at the idle position.
1. Ignition on, engine not running.
2. With a scan tool, read DTCs.
  Is the DTC active at this time?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 2
  No
  - Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Diagnostic Procedure. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure .
VACUUM LEAK
NOTE: This code is enabled on engines with a plastic intake manifold and is intended to shut down the engine if a large crack occurs.

NOTE: A large vacuum leak is most likely the cause of this DTC.
1. Inspect the Intake Manifold for leaks and cracks.
2. Inspect the Power Brake Booster for any vacuum leaks.
3. Inspect the PCV system for proper operation and vacuum leaks.
4. Inspect the throttle plate to see if it is bent and will close entirely, if it is bent it may need to be replaced.
5. Inspect the MAP Sensor for proper installation.
6. Verify the engine is free from any mechanical failures.
  Were any vacuum leaks found?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the vacuum leak as necessary.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Go to step 3
RESTRICTED INTAKE AIR SYSTEM
1. Inspect the Intake Air system for excessive blockage.
2. Inspect the air filter.
  Is the air filter plugged, extremely dirty, or is the Intake Air system restricted in any other way?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Air Filter and free the Intake Air system from any foreign material that is causing the blockage.
    Read and record the related Freeze Frame data. Clear the PCM codes and try to duplicate the conditions that originally caused the DTC to set to see if the code returns.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Go to step 4
MAP SENSOR OPERATION

  Yes
  - Go to step 5
  No
  - Go to step 12
TP SENSOR OPERATION

2. With a scan tool, monitor the TP Sensor voltage while slowly pressing the throttle pedal from closed to wide open throttle.
  Does voltage start at approximately 0.8 of a volt and go above 3.5 volts with a smooth transition?
  
  Yes
  - Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Diagnostic Procedure. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure .
