Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. ACTIVE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) 
    NOTE:

    The most likely cause of this DTC is a vacuum leak. Check for any TSBs before continuing.

    NOTE:

    Diagnose any 5-Volt Supply, TP Sensor, Oxygen Sensor, Fuel related or MAP Sensor DTCs before continuing.

    NOTE:

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

    NOTE:

    Question the customer about weather conditions, as ice build up on the throttle blade can cause this fault when the ambient air temperature is in the -10°C (14°F) to 4°C (39°F) range.
