1. Disconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
2. Measure the resistance between the (K672) Air Intake Throttle Sensor Signal circuit and the (K834) 5-Volt Sensor Supply Circuit at the EGR Airflow Control Valve harness connector.
  Is the resistance below 10k Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the short between the (K672) Air Intake Throttle Sensor Signal circuit and the (K834) 5-Volt Sensor Supply Circuit.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
  No
  - Go To 4
CHECK THE (K672) AIR INTAKE THROTTLE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
1. Measure the resistance of the (K672) Air Intake Throttle Sensor Signal circuit between the EGR Airflow Control Valve harness connector and the PCM C1 harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (K672) Air Intake Throttle Sensor Signal circuit for an open or high resistance.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
  No
  - Go To 5
CHECK THE (K934) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
1. Measure the resistance of the (K934) Sensor Ground circuit between the EGR Airflow Control Valve harness connector and the PCM C1 harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (K934) Sensor Ground circuit for an open or high resistance.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
  No
  - Go To 6
CHECK THE EGR AIRFLOW CONTROL VALVE
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Reconnect the PCM harness connector.
3. Reconnect the EGR Airflow Control Valve harness connector.
4. Ignition on, engine not running.
5. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
6. While monitoring the scan tool, disconnect the EGR Airflow Control Valve harness connector.
7. With the scan tool, read DTCs.
  Is DTC P02E9 active?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the EGR Airflow Control Valve in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to VALVE, EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) AIRFLOW CONTROL, REMOVAL .
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
  No
  - Go To 7
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
1. Disconnect all PCM harness connectors.
2. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
3. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
4. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
  - Proper connector installation.
  - Damaged connector locks.
  - Corrosion.
  - Other signs of water intrusion.
  - Weather seal damage (if equipped).
  - Bent terminals.
  - Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
  - Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
  - Perform a terminal drag test on each connector terminal to verify proper terminal tension.
  Repair any conditions that are found.
5. Reconnect all PCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
6. Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
7. Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
8. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
9. Using the recorded Freeze Frame and Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
10. With the scan tool, read PCM DTCs.
  Did the DTC return?
  
  Yes
