Diagnosis And Testing - Closed Crankcase Ventilation (CCV)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 RAM Pickup and 2011 RAM Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- If troubleshooting high crankcase pressure, the following items can be causing the closed crankcase ventilation valve to close during engine operation:
- A restricted crankcase ventilation filter. Change the filter
- A malfunctioning or incorrectly assembled closed crankcase ventilation valve. Check the valve operation.
- The closed crankcase ventilation valve should allow crankcases gases to flow when the engine is not running and/or removed from the engine.NOTE:
Application of air can be applied either to the inlet or outlet of the closed crankcase ventilation valve.
- A small amount of air can be blown through the closed crankcase ventilation valve (less than 34 kPa [5 psi]) to check the closed crankcase ventilation valve.
- If air does not go through the closed crankcase ventilation valve, replace the valve.
